MILLIONS TIED Up
IN HIDDEN ASSETS
Many U. S. Securities Have
Not Been Redeemed by
Owners at Maturity.
BY ]. G. ROYLE.

Treasure trove greater than that
buried by all the pirates in the world
exists in the United States, according 10
information obtained from the Treasury
Department.
Millions are involved in Government
securities which have matured or been
called for redemption, but have never
been turned back. The Government has
the use of this sum interest free. and
it is the belief of the Treasury officials
that few OF these securities will turn up
for redemption.
This Is not the only hoard, however
Huge sums in currency are outstanding.
and the Treasury does not have the
faintest idea where much Of 1t is.
Change Completed Rapidly.
The change to the new small sizef
bills has been nearly completed. In til
cities and banking centerS 1t Is seldorA
that the old large sized bills are seen
although 1t has been but nine months
since the change was made. There re.
mains outstanding in currency 81 1885,
600, 900 in old bills. This is nearly 20
per cent of the amount which was In
circulation when the new bills were
introduced.
No small part of the total of securi-
ties and currency which has disap-
peared from view is in boards hidden
by the owners and never found. Some
undoubtedly has been lost or destroyed
in various ways.
OF the securities those issued at the
time of the Civil War probably will
never be presented for redemption, and
very few Of the pre-World War securi-
tiaR aYYaaPfad tn ~ rAfIlrT1aA
Wrecking of old houses may bring some
of the newer maturities to light. Some
have been stolen and the thieves have
been afraid to attempt to hypothecate
them. A large sum in the two Victory
note issues still Is outstanding. This
applies also to second and third Liberty
bonds, although interest on these has
ceased. Many of the war savings
stamps have been retained as souvenirs.
Souvenir Collections.
The souvenir habit of Americans also
is held responsible for the failure of
many of the large bills to be exchanged
People have retained them to fill out
complete collections Of Government cur
rencies. There are thousands of bills
throughout the United States framed in
commemoration Of the first receipts of
a new business. The banks hold most
of the $500, 81 900, $4,000 and $4,000
bills. finding them convenient for re-
serve purposes.
The retention Of the large sized bills
came as a surprise to the Treasury ON
Gals, for 1t was thought that the dis
trust of banks which once existed had
passed completely away. Compare
lively large amounts are in existence In
foreign countries, where they have been
sent by foreign-born residents who
lacked faith in the stability OF foreign
currencies.
The Treasury Department benefits
from this situation, but 1t would far
rather have these idle dollars at work
| than hidden away. But what Is really
| a mystery to the department Is why the
50 bill. so unpopular in many sections
and termed unlucky, should be In such
heavy demand in New ENGLAND.

Will Get Revenge Is She
Beats OeneenL

Chicago, April 6-(F-Political
America looked Illinoe&Ward today
as United States Senator Charles 8.
Deneen and Ruth Hanna Mccormick
battled bitterly to win the senatorial
nomination in next Tuesdays Repub-
lican primary.
Parrying thrusts on world court and
factionalism issues, both the senior
senator and the daughter of Mark
Hanna have waged a campaign more
extensive than any In Illinois history.
Mrs. Mccormick. who hopes to be
the first woman elected to the SEN
ate. has addressed meetings and made
radio speeches every day for weeks,
repeatedly voicing opposition to the
world court and to the League Of Ma
lions and flaying Senator Deneen for
his vote in 1925 favoring American
entrance in the court.
Senator Dencen defended his vote,
saying it Was because Of party regu-
larity."
Sanitary district patronage, a
gangster's funeral, bombtngs and
crime have all been injected into the
campaign by both camps.
To Senator Dcneen, victory means
the chance for reelection in Novem-
Der: to Mrs. McC ormick it means that
and more-revengc for the defeat OF
her husband. the late Senator Medill
Mccormick, by Deneen in 1924.

AKOTAR ROAD
USE Of FEDERAL AID
DEPENDS ON GAS TAX
State Will Receive $500, 900 An.
nualIy It It Increases High
way Revenue

Signature yesterday by President
Hoover Of the bill increasing the fed
eral aid highway appropriation will
be Of benefit to North Dakota only If
the proposed four-cent gasoline tax
Is approved by the voters. Governor
George r. ,Shafer said in a statement
issued today.
The statement follows: "Under the
provisions Of the road bill signed by
President Hoover yesterday. North Oa-
kota will receive about $500. 600 an
nually In additional federal aid for
road building purposes during the
next three years.
This will bring our federal aid al
lotment up to 8 100000 per annum
It viii not be possible. however. for
US to use any part Of such additional
aid without an increase in the state
highway revenues. The various
counties that are pressing for high
Improvements seem to have ample
funds to cover their one-fourth share
Of such added requirements but the
state highway department cannot
expand its present construction pro-
gram because 1t cannot match the
county funds.
1T was this condition which in
duced the county commissioners as
ISOLATION to sponsor the four-cent gas
tax measure which will be submitted
to the voters in June. If this meas
ure is adopted 1t will enable the state
highway department to increase road
construction work about 60 per cent
above the present rate, but If it fails
highway construction must diminish
unless the counties assume the states
portion Of the cost out of real ant
personal property taxes"

Philadelphia, April 5.-tNEA)-
Fly as handsome and sturdy q
shepherd as ever was trained for po-
lice service, is entering upon her
seventh year as a life terrner'' in the
Eastern State pcnitentiary here.
Whereas she could easily be .

blue-blooded mother was before her,

she might have been trained to hunt.
Sentence Of Loyalty
Hers. however. is the self-iinposed
sentence of loyalty, and until Convict
No. 1911, now serving G life term for
manslaughter, walks from the prison
doors, Fly will be content to spend her
nights In a kennel at the end Of a
dtnsy, barred corridor, and her days
at the side Of her master, who was
once known to the world as Martin
Fleming. Sixteen years ago Fleming.
a restaurant keeper Of Harrisburg,
dropped that name Tor o number fol-
lowing a crime growing out Of a heat

part in his release. In the immediate

regulations have been made q bit
elastic, and 81 he has seldom been
without q canine cell-matc.
Several Vicious Fights
Shortly after his arrival a kennel
Of airedales on the. prison grounds
became unmanageable. Several Vi
cious fights had taken place. Their
keepers were having considerable
trouble, but Fleming managed some
how to bring about q truce. But only
after m Of the puppies had been so
badly chewed that 1t was thought best
to shoot the dog. Fleming asked for
the chance to nurse the wounded pup,
took him to the cell and restored him
to health. No. 1911 was allowed to
keep his pet, which died some seven
years ago.
A fellow convict, about to gain his
liberty. noticed that No. 1911 was
h~eartbroken over his loss. Upon re-
lease the ~ex-prisoner bought a shep-
herd puppy and sent. 1t to Fleming.
After considerable red tape the prison
officials allowed the LITER to have an
other companion.
And so Fly came to Cherry Hill"
as they call the prison. That wasn't
the name under which the dog was
registered, but it was so christened
because 1t happened to be the name
Of q dog Fleming had owned in Ire
land. long before he emigrated to
America.
