ingS were taking place In regard to q Jennens
estate. They further said that because Of the
number Of inquiries made some years ago. the
American legation in London issued state
ment explaining the situation. since William
JennenS forgot to sign his win, his landed
estates passed to his heir-at-law and they now
belong to Earle Howe, head OF the Cur8On fam
lily. Attempts TO displaee the owners have
been made in the chancery courts and all have
failed.
Instances have been mounting recently Of
many cases of Americans who have been per-
snaded that they can prove their rights to Eng
lish fortunes. Many have been led 10 pay large
sums Of money supposedly to have their claims
verified and legal work done In England.
Last December the Department Of State
Issued . warning to United States citizens, In
forming them that the unclaimed estates be-
neved to be In ehancery or I'm the Bank OF
England awaiting disposition to heirs are non
eXistant. The statement included dispatch
from the American consulate In London.
Albert HalStead, American consul general in
London, reported to the Department OF State:
IT have the honor to remind the department
that the embassy and the consulate general in
London are In constant receipt Of letters from
the United States, which ask for Information
regarding alleged estates in chancery to which
the writer makes claim as direct heir 10
the property. AS matter OF fact, there Is
practically no estate Of any size in chancery. At
the same time, there are indications that per-
sons are engaged in collecting money allegedly
to meet the legal expenses Of recovering such
estates, and that a considerable amount Of
money Is obtained fraudulentIy thereby"
A COPY Of the form letter used by the Amer
& lean consulate to answer inquiries was in
cluded In the warning The letter explains one
system by which the estate racketeers work
Legal advertisements for absent heirs and next
Of kin appear in newspapers In England and
the United States. IN connection with the ordi-
nary settlement Of estates. These notices are
collected and some time after the estates have
been finally settled, they are reproduced IN

AN ILLUSTRATION of the system Is the &c
count that came from Lima, Peru, short
time ago. One Alberto Va1enzuela Resell, with
Robert Jackson Of New York City in tow. ar
rived at Lima on the Santa Maria. Valenbuela
claimed that he was Hneal descendant Of the
old Peruvian emperors, who ruled in the golden
days before the Spanish conquest.
He further said that when Pizarro conquered
Peru the gold chains and other valuable royal
treasures were hidden away in cave near
CuzcO. PixaFrO baniShed the last Inca emperor.
But the treasurer remained in Peru untouched
by the hand Of any man since those days, &C.
ccrding to Valenzuela's story.
If the cave remained hidden. Senior Valen.
zuela planned to ind prehistoric city, OF
which he alone knew the site. For hundreds Of
years this city has been lost in the mountains.
Historians Of Peru raise their eyebrows at the
cave and the hidden city. They 60 further ana
maintain that Valenxuela is not and never has
been Q descendant of the Inca emperor.
Meanwhile the expedition sets out in search
Of treasure. And Mr.. jackson presumably foots
the bills
As o long line Of disappointed heirs and
treasure-seekers would ruefully admit, "fOr~
tunes" often come high.

PINCHOT TRUCE
WITH HOOVER is
SEEN PROBABLE
Governors Wife'S Candi-
dacy Against MCFadden
Is Peace Agent.

By Scripps-Hotoard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. PA po-
ntical truce between President Hoo
yer and Governor Pinchot Of Penn
sylvania, heretofore a vigorous ad-
ministration critic, was foreseen
here today because of their joint
desire to have Representative Louis
T. McFadden defeated for renomi-
nation.
Mrs. Pinchot, wife of the Cover
nor, who will oppose McFadden,
paved the way for such a reap
proachment in announcing her can
didacy. She said: Every one must
resent an unsubstantiated accusa-
ton of treason against the Presi-
dent"
This pleased Senator Reed and
other Pennsylvania administration
supporters.
Senator Reed subsequently an
nounced that he would not par
ticipate in the manipulating" of a
third candidate.
THAT is for the people of the
congressional district to determine"
he said. ANY good, loyal Re
publican will be satisfactory to me-"
Reed indicated that Mrs. Pinchot
might come within the category of
loyal Republican"
Mrs. Pinchot came within 5000
votes Of defeating McFadden four
years ago and the impression pre-
walls that had not Reed and other
Pennsylvania politicians gone to
McFadden's rescue, he would have
been defeated.
On the heels of the McFadden-
Pinchot developments it was an
nounced authoritatively that Gov
ernor Pinchot would be included in
the list of Pennsylvania delegates
at-large to the next Republican ma
t1onal convention. Word was re-
ceived here that Pinchot has aban-
doned his reported plan of seeking
delegates instructed for him and
that the state leaders have includ-
ed him in the tentative "big seven"
list Of delegates.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. "a. -
New England's skies were tinseled

range of vision was even wider.
