temperament, after he assumed the
post of executive director of the
estate, is said by friends of the
family to have entered upon projects
which brought sharp opposition from
his mother, Hugo, the family's legal
advisers and the banks which had
supplied credits for the SHINES en-
terprises. AS Otto also had been
given a vote in the family councils,
Edmund soon found his mother and
two younger brothers pitted against
him, and in less than IL months the
union which SHINES the elder had
desired was disrupted.
Edmund withdrew to devote him.
self to the automobile and insurance
end of his fathers holdings. His ac-
ton was followed by the banks taking
charge of the SHINES properties,
which they held as collateral for loans.
Then came the forced liquidation.
Supermen Were Needed.
There is some speculation as to
whether the bankers will save to the
family the SHINES coal mines at Muel-
helm, which have been in it's posses
sion for three generations and which
formed the foundation of the SHINES
fortune, or whether these pits also
will be put upon the common auc-
ton block along with the other pos
sessions of the dead financial giant.
'Supermen, such as Nietzche saw
them, would have been required to
administer the industrial and com
mercial realms acquired by the late
Hugo Stinnes," is the comment of one
of the Rhenish newspapers on what
it terms ''the tragedy of the house OF
Shines" This newspaper assumes
that if SHINES the elder still Were
alive he would have succeeded In
adapting himself to the altered
economic and financial conditions
which We're brought about by the sta
bilization of German currency.

EMIGRATION WANES
IN GREAT BRITAIN
Refusal of People to Move to
Less Crowded Parts of
Empire Causes Worry. .
Correspondence of the Associated Press

LONDON, August 14.-Emigration
from England and Scotland to less
crowded parts of the empire is less
than half as great as before the war,
despite the fact that the home coun-
try is overcrowded and opportunities
for workers seem to grow scarcer.
Last year, despite the growth of un-
employment and the encouragement
given to emigrants through govern
ment financial assistance, only 1888
people left to take up residence in the
dominions and colonies. In 1918,
when no financial help was offered
by the state, the number was 1851.
The natural increase of population
on this island averages about 100000
persons year at present. Unless
more people depart, overcrowding and
perhaps unemployment will steadily
become more severe.
In 1918, statistics given by the CO.
lonial secretary show, 164, ,566 people
emigrated from this country to Can
ada and Newfoundland, but last year
the total was only 47,194. For the
same years the number going to Aus
tralia dwindled from 44,500 to 10000;
to New Zealand, from II 800 to 8.740,
and for other parts of the empire.
from 2,340 to 1000 Only South At
rica showed an increased magnetism
for emigrants, but the figures are in.
significant-375 emigrants in 1918 and
649 last year.
These facts are causing serious pom
derings among many, who feel that
trade will never wax large enough to
absorb all the idlers in England and
Scotland unless their numbers are
vastly lowered by wholesale migra-
tions to those parts of the empire
which are underpopulated. There are
some who feel that emigration never
can be made properly attractive SO
long as persons can stay at home and
make a living doing nothing. That
is what the dole amounts to, in their
eyes, and there are about 300, 900
persons on the dole, receiving their
hand-out from the state each week
they are without work. The unem-
ployed, 1t is contended. prefer to stay
where they are, rather than wrench
themselves away from this island and
gamble on a little more glittering fu'
ture in pastures new.
There have been many efforts to or.
ganiZe parties of emigrants from vii.
lagos and townships. but few have
met with success. The people simply
won't bulge. The Morning Post says
the most disquieting reflection which
this experience suggests Is the decay
of the spirit OF adventure in our peo.
ple-and the spirit by virtue of which
our whole empire has been founded
and peopled."

AIR
LINE TO Be BEGUN
Experts Leave London to
Begin Survey of Route for
New Traffic.

group of aircraft experts has just left
London on one of the greatest empire
schemes ever developed two-way
weekly air service between Egypt and
India.
Announcement was made several
days ago that the air ministry had
concluded the Imperial Always, Ltd.
a private company, Of which Sir Eric
Geddes Is chairman, a contract where
by such service would be operated for
five years under strict government
supervision.
Such a service has been the dream
for years of those experts who realize
that future cohesion Of the British
Empire is dependent in a large meas
ure upon facilities for intercommuni.
cation, which now obviously can be
effected most quickly by aircraft.
The officials who have left to sur.
vey the route Of the airway are Col
Birchau and Lieut.. Col. Minchen.
Vice Marshal Seton Brancker is fol
lowing later.
The first route will be q 2,400-mile
jump from Kantara, Egypt, to Ka-
rachi, India. 1t is planned to develop
a l0,000-mile chain linking up Singa
pore with Australia, all of which, II
is hoped, may be ready Tor operation
by next January.
The routes will be flown by both
government and private aircraft
which will carry mails and passen
gers on regular schedule, like the
similar route now operating between
Cairo, Damascus and Bagdad.
The first stages of the new route
will be laid out within a month, and
it is hoped that the first fight can be
made In the late Fall with a triple
engined Rolls Royce plane, a new
type now being constructed.

The Virginia holly, isolated speci-
mems of which are fairly common in
local gardens, but which seldom bear
| the characteristic red holly berries
which form the chief beauty of the
wild plant. The reason for this, Mr..
Kramer says. is that the holly is
among the few sexed plants. The
berries are produced by the female
bushes and they will not appear
unless there is a male bush in the
neighborhood. His own experience is
unusual. In the woods he dug up
with jackknife two tiny plants
growing side by side, about 2
inches high. He set them out in his
garden and surrounded them with
pine needles and oak leaves. The
first Summer one blossomed. The
second Summer both blossomed. and
the third Summer one of the bushes
produced berries. Sex in holly
plants, he says, can be determined
only by an expert. and the females,
as a rule, are by far the most
common.
Mr.. Kramer has had unusual luck
in demonstrating the local wild cedars.
The principal requirement, he saws
is to get plenty of soil around the
roots when they are dug up and to
keep it there until they are safely

COOLIDGE RETURNS
TO OLD SCHEDULE
Presidents Morning Is Occupied
With Official Calls-White
House Is Inspected.

President Coolidge went back to his
old working schedule today. and. up
early. he strolled about the White
House for a few minutes and then
hurried to his desk, arriving in the
executive offices before 8 o'clock.
The Presidents entire morning was
occupied by official calls. and the re-
ception of several score visitors anx-
ious 30 pay their respects. They were
admitted to the executive offices short
ly after noon and were passed through
the Presidents office in the usual
manner, Mr.. Coolidge greeting each
with handshake.
Mrs. Coolidge has spent most of her
first and second days back in Wash
ington experimenting the unpacking
of trunks. A thorough housekeeper,
the First Lady is not content to trust
these details entirely to her attend
ants. Yesterday afternoon she made
her first general inspection of the
newly decorated and renovated White
House.
Mrs. Colidge was said to have ex.
pressed complete satisfaction with the
new decorations. The main lobby now
presents the soft quiet atmosphere
OF the true colonial style. The light
blue and orange coloring that occu-
pied the floors and ceilings, have com
pletely disappeared. In their stead the
entire color scheme Is one of white
and colonial buff. Every vestige of
the former French empire idea has
disappeared.
On the second floor Of the White
House the main changes consisted of
repapering. Mrs. Coolidge's room is
now papered in light blue. The Presi
dents room, however, has a typical
f1owered paper such as might be found
in the bedroom of any average Amer
lean home. Mrs. Coolidge is said to
have been particularly pleased with
the cleanliness these changes left to
the entire White House.
Today Mrs. Coolidge called for her
car early and set forth on shopping
tour.

SHINES FORTUNE is VANISHING
AS FOUR HEIRS FAIL TO AGREE
''Stick Together,'' Dying
Advice of Father,
Thrown Away.
Holdings Are Entangled
and Liquidation Is
Now Forced.
By the Associated Press

| BY the Associated Press
| BERLIN, September 12.-Recently
| there has been worldwide curiosity
as TO whether the sons and daughters
of the late Hugo SHINES would sue
ceed in emulating the example of THE
rive trankfurters, as the five Roths-
childs of Frankfort became known in
| financial history because of their sue
cess in conserving the family's unity
and fortune.
This curiosity now is rewarded by a
| spectacle, which reveals the quickly
accumulated estate of SHINES, Ger
many's great industrialist, in forced
| liquidation, and his family tightly in
the clutches of a banking syndicate
! to which it is heavily indebted for
money loaned, originally for six
months, to save SHINES industrial
empire
Many Holdings Sold.
Already SHINES banks, iron works,
hotels, real estate, steamships, cleo
trtCal plants, coke and iron and steel
concerns, and the apple Of the dead
mans eye, the Deutsche Algemeine
Zeitung, have been sold But the family
still has the Muelheim coal mines, in
which SHINES started on the way to
wealth.
"Stick together, and stand by
mother" This was the admonition of
Hugo SHINES as he lay dying in April
or last year. 1t was addressed to his
sons and daughters, gathered about
the siCkbed. He had in mind a fam
lily union for the protection of his
vast and varied interests-valued at
many millions of dollars.
But in less than a year of his
passing the injunction became an
ANONYMOUSLY discarded family shib-
boleth, due to conflicting opinions
between the three sons and the
widow, and soon the great estate be-
came entangled in a web of financial
difficulties which eliminated in the
present forced liquidation.
Saw Disagreement.
Intimate friends of SHINES aver
that he saw such an eventuality as
disagreement among his sons, who
were to assume the regency over his
great holdings under the direction of
their mother, the sole heir to the
estate. They point out as proof of
this that the will of SHINES pro-
vided for such an emergency as con-
tiicting opinions by designating the
second son, Hugo, jr., as executive
director of the estate in case DIR.
Edmund SHINES, the eldest son, who
was the original executive director,
and the third son, Otto, could not
agree.
Hugo, jr., was the fathers favorite
during the years that the magnate
was constructing his far-flung indus
