BY the Associated Press.


OGDENSBURG, N. Y, July 30.-An
immigrant boys monument 10 the spot
where he first set foot on American
soil will disappear under the waters OF
the st. Lawrence seaway project.
The $500,000 Dry Island estate built
by the late James Corrigan, Midwest
steel magnate, will be at the bottom OF
one Of two great lakes to be formed by
the dams at Chrysler apd Barnhart
Islands and will be swallowed up with
two villages in the development
With a once luxurious 90-foot yacht
rusting at its dock, the velvety lawns
have been overgrown with rank vines
and weeds and the great house of SO
bed rooms and II baths has fallen into
disrepair.
The finest woods went into its con-
struction years ago. Oriental rugs and
luxurious furnishings made it show
place. Squads of servants kept it in
trim. Coteries of fashionable guests
made it a center for Summer society.
Corrigan crossed over from Canada
as a boy and travelled West to Cleve-
land, where he built up the McKenna-
Corrigal Steel Corporation and a size
able fortune. But his thoughts often
reverted to Dry Island and he returned
at length to preserve the dreams of his
youth in wood and verdure.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, July 30-A denial that
Herbert Hoover made large sums o.
money before 1914 and that his fortune
has dwindled through unfortunate in
vestments in recent years was carried
today by the Dow-Jones Ticker Service.
The denial was made by Edgar
Rickard, described by the service as a
close friend of Mr.. Hoover who has
handled his personal accounts for IL
years.
Looked After Accounts.
Rickard, New York business man. is
quoted as saying that since Mr.. Hoover
became Secretary of Commerce Il have,
looked after his private accounts in my
own Office I know all about them.
II can say at once that the assertion
that the President has had or has oil
investments in foreign countries is
absolutely without foundation. During
this whole period and some time before
he has not had dime In any kind OF
business in any foreign country.
"I can say further that since he be-
came Secretary of Commerce the Presi-
dent has not purchased or sold a single
share of stock of any corporation
through any public exchange or ether
wise.
LAS to the statement that the Presi-
dent made large sums of money before
1914 and has subsequently lost large
sums in speculative enterprises, both
statements are untrue. He never made
anything like the sums reported in
many quarters nor has he ever had
such losses"
Closed Out Investments.
When Mr.. Hoover became Secretary
of Commerce, the statement says, he
closed out his investment in general
business and invested in bonds, and
since then he has had no business
transactions of any kind.
Since he became Secretary Of Com
merce," Rickard says, the President
has not purchased or sold single share
Of stock of any corporation, AS a mat
ter of fact, except for some minor
interests of long and sentimental stand
ing he has no stocks of any kind

LABOR SEEKS STATE
IDLE WORKERS AID
Shift From Appeal to Con.
gress Due to Constitu-
tionaI Inhibitions.

Directly following a decision to aban-
don plans to introduce during the next
session of Congress bill seeking Fed
eral compensation for the unemployed
the American Federation of Labor Leg
ss,ative Committee was at work today
drafting a measure to be presented to
all State Legislatures calling for COM
pulsory unemployment insurance.
As soon as the bill is completed. it
was said at labor headquarters today,
Il will be sent to State federations for
introduction In their respective Legis-
latures. The bill must be approved by
the Cincinnati convention on Novem-
Der 28.
President william Green of the feder-
ation, in announcing the new step. ex-
planned that after he started drafting
the Federal measure I'VE found that
constitutional inhibitions would bar
such bill
while we want a Federal law, We
have abandoned the project, Green
added. The Federal Government,
however, can aid the States should they
adopt the bill by good road programs.
In outlining the State bill, the Leg
islative COMMITTEES said the compulsory
Insurance cost must be placed on in
dlstry. but that administration must
be by the States. The bill also would
stipulate that working men and women
must be protected IN the exercise of
their rights to belong to trade unions.
This clause is to prevent State officials
from sending an unemployed union
man to a non-union shop for employ
ment rather than pay him from the
insurance funds.
President Green pointed out that
this project is separated from the Wag-
ner unemployment bill, which does not
provide compulsory insurance, but
offers inducements to States and in
dustries to participate In 1t.

related people to the Omaha Indians,
have been widely circulated and read
In 1925 he was awarded an honorary
doctorate in literature by the University
Of Nebraska in recognition of his work
One OF La Flesches most interesting
works was that which led him to con-
clude that his own race was doomed
In setting forth his conclusion, he
pointed out that the Indian had sur
vived war with the white man, but pre-
dicted the eventual DISAPPEARANCE of
the race through intermarriage.
He believed the infusion of Indian
blood to be a good thing for the whites
and declared his belief that the Indian
had fulfilled his destiny by infusing his
aboriginal blood, with its distinctive
qualities Of mind and character" into
the stream Of American development.

The last two years of his life were
spent in retirement. He was born in

ONCE UPON A TIME
All of which recalls the colorful
Chuck Corners, who can be blessed
or blamed for most of the melodra-
matte memories concerning Manhat-
tan's Chinese quarter. Corners was
q shrewd and clever Snowman, who
wore a pearl grey bowler hat and a
theatrical suit of clothes which in
cluded dollar-sized pearl buttons. He
was, by himself, sight for the eyes
of tourists bent on getting large doses
of local color.
At the time. there actually were
opium denS and white men and WO-
men could get the sensation of "a
smoke" almcet as readily as they
can today get a snack of speakeasy
liquor.
Corners, aware of visitors thrill
seeking, became guide who con-
Quoted tourists through the opium
dens. Having keen sense of lurid
stagecraft, Corners created hop den"
scenes in the best yellow-novel fash
ion. Most of the places to which he
steered cash customers were mere
plants" Here the wide-eyed visit
ing fi.tmen would observe white girls
beside an Oriental. This, you can
readily imagine, was swell shocker-
something the visitors could talk
about at home for years afterward.
And did!
The while, Corners reaped the re-
wards of the Snowman with a good
boX-office sense. What mattered that
the white girl and the Oriental were
mere "set ups" and that the light"
was a mere oil lamp; that the pipe
was mere stage property. It
worked! Corners lurid spiel added
reality. And passed for the real thing.
Fact was that any real smoker went
to some private place and was never
seen by a gaping crowd.
Finally the gag played out. Con-

It appears that in Portland and
Whereabouts, sincere doubt was eX-
pressed concerning the tales that
hardy woodsmen shaved themselves

onlookers demanded "how Gomez"
