MULTI-MlLLIoNAIRE MAKES A
PRINCELY GIFT TO CHARITY

PRINCELY GIFT TO CHARITY
Karl Whitney Presents Pearls
Worth Half a Million Dollars
to Orthopedic Hospital.
Yesterday Karl Whitney, who has
recently returned from Europe, pre-
scented to the trustees of the Ortho.
pedic Hospital. the pearls that be-
longed to the late Mrs. Whitney.
These jewels are to be sold at the
bazaar which will be held at the
Philharmonic Auditorium for the
benefit Of the hospital, week after
next.
These Jewels are said to be worth
more than a. half million dollars.
They were left by Mr.. Whitney's
wife to her sister, Mrs. John Alden
Prescott. Because of her sisters sad
and untimely death, Mrs. Prescott
has never worn them since they be-
came hers and she decided to sell
them some months ago just after
they were the cause of a most sensa-
tional attempt of burglary In which
Miss Zoe Ellington, the nursery gov
erness of Mrs. Prescott, met her
death and Mr.. Sydney Carton, an old
friend of the family, was kidnapped
and nearly starved to death before
he was set free. This, of course,
was an added shock to Mrs Prescott
and she felt that none of the family
would ever see them upon her with
out memories of these sad events
When Mr.. Whitney found what his
sister-inn-law intended to do, he con
ceived the idea of buying the jewels
from her and presenting them in
trust to the bazaar committee to be
sold at their coming charity enter
tainment.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Whitney built the Orthopedic Hos
pital and presented it to the city in
memory of his mother.
The jewels win be on display every
evening of the week during the ba-
zaar and the police commissioner has
deputized a large force of men to be
on duty constantly to guard them.
This unique gift will make history
for Pittsburgh in more ways than
one First, because men do not
make gifts OF half a million dollars
to charity during their lifetimes.

$vey Shows $4,000, 900
Cars in United States
in 1925.

I NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-More than
Registered in the United States In
1925. The gain over 1924 was 2,477,-
5S, or 1879 per cent. The total of
assenger car was 1864 an in
crease Of 2,132,75S over the previous
year, while the commercial vehicle
total was 2,545,769, an advance of
344,995.
The figures. gathered by Motor
Magazine from all States, with part
of December estimated, show the
second largest numerical gain ever
recorded although the percentage in.
crease was the smallest. The record
year in point of numbers was 1923
when registrations leaped ahead by
3,012,88S.
Comparison of retail sales figures
for the United States this year with
the gain in Registrations indicates
that more than 100000 ancient
vehicles were scrapped or taken out
of use.
There were no spectacular numer-
zeal gains by states. New York has
the distinction of being the first to
pass the 1,50c,0O marks with an
increase of 1900 cars and trucks.
1t now has in operation nearly three.
quarters as many motor vehicles as
all Of Europe combined.
California Still Rival
California still is New Yorks
closest rival, bit it slipped this year
showing a gain of only 9.3 per cent
as compared with 20.1 last year. It's
total is 1,444,000.
The other states in the more than
100000 class are Ohio with 1,400,-
600; Pennsylvania with 1,557,000 and
Illinois with 1.266,n00 Ranking
next are Michigan with 993,0f0 and
eTxas with $4,000. In eighth place
in Massachusetts with $4,000 In
diana is ninth with $4,000 and Iowa
tenth with $4,000.
Total number of cars registered
in Indiana in 1924 was 650.21?.
Florida Leads in Growth
Florida leads the field in per cent
age of growth with SOL, but its
total is only POI. 400 although this
does not include cars operating in
that state with license plates from
all parts Of the country.
The next highest percentage
gains, in order, were: Oklahoma,
33.6. Mississippi. 800: Arkansas,
30s; North Dakota, 24.3; Alabama.
2S.7; Tennessee. 21.2 and Montana,
20.1.
