Champion Slider

Neil Burkinshaw's resemblance
to Teddy Roosevelt when the
late President was a young man
startles those who knew the
wielder of the big stick.
Teddy often sought recrea-
tion on the back of some bronc,
but Neil has discovered an
other diversion.
Not long ago he discovered,
at a Chesapeake Bay resort, a
huge slide on which one might
descend into the cool, salt
waters.
He made his first descent
and then became so enamored
with his new sport that he re-
fused to stop sliding.
Before the day ended he
developed his acrobatics and
became the outstanding slider

to have vast lands in Cuba, but

He came to Washington seek

his Cuban home had been con.

HARTZELL CASE
UP OCTOBER q
Southern Minnes0tans Victims
of Promoter of Fake
Drake Estate

Baron" Oscar Hartzell, promoter
of the famous Drake Estate"
scheme, will come to trial before a
Sioux City, Iowa, federal district
court on charges of using the mails
to defraud October %.
The roundup of evidence available
in Great Britain is now complete.
Vice consul Wray, who headed the
American investigation for many
months, in London, has sailed for this
country. He will go first to Wash
ington to confer with department of
justice officials and will then contin-
lie to Sioux City for the trial. It is
claimed that Hartzell headed one of
the biggest rackets where he duped
hundreds of persons, through promises
of securing for them share in the
fabulous Sir Francis Drake estate in
England. Hartzell claimed that this
estate ran into the millions and that
he was forcing it's settlement and that
those who donated" funds to the
cause would proportionately share in
the benefits when the estate was fin
ally settled.
Hundreds, including southern Min
nesota people, are said to have been
duped by the scheme. Meetings were
held in Iowa, Minnesota and South
Dakota, at which Hartzell appeared,
explained his scheme and collected
thousands of dollars.
He faces a maximum sentence OF
rs years if convicted on all Is counts.
