MANY REQUESTS
TO JUNGLE SAM
But Generally They Are for
Small Amounts.

The Request of about S250,o00 to
the United States government by
the late Supreme Court Justice Oil
yer Wendell Holmes has aroused
much curiosity as to previous be-
quests of this character.
2 Since 1862, when the first cut
right bequest, of S1,005, was made
to the government, total of ST.
516,o22. A. has been received in such
gifts, exclusive of that of the late
exjustice. The largest amount re-
ceived In any one year was S971.-
360.26, in 1883.
The Holmes Gift is believed to be
the greatest of the kind. The larg-
est previous one of which there Is
public knowledge was bequeathec
by q man who died in 1889. The
donor In that case left his entire
estate to the United States, and the
government eventually realized S103,-
2S9.S7.
On the books of the treasury be-
quests and gifts Of an uncondi
tional nature are listed as ''miscel-
laneous receipts, donations 10 the
United States. They become
part Of the general fund of the
treasury, from which government
expenditures are met under CON
gresslonal appropriation.
In addition to unconditional gifts,
the treasury has received num-
Der of contributions made for sne
eific purposes. One of the largest
of these was the gift Of S50S,31S.46
Of James Smithson. an English
man, received in 1888 for the pur
pose of founding at Washington an
institution for the increase and
diffusion Of knowledge among men. =
This gift resulted in the establish
ment Of the Smithsonian institution.

lens of the diseases of man. Tn
der that act contributions totaling
$4,000 have been received.
Congress also has authorized the
acceptance of contributions or do
nations for use In connection with
the work of the Library of Congress.
Under one fund of $4,000, the an
nuai interest of $500 Is donated TO
the government and used for en-
larging certain collections. The act
of March 3. 1925. created a trust
fund board to accept gifts to the
library, and under this act S1,019.-
S19.15 has been received.
There are number of gifts to
the United States for the construc-
tion of memorials, monuments and
other works OF commemorative art.
he treasury maintains sepa;
rate account for the so-called con
science fund. = though this. like the
outright donations Is used for
general expenditures. The con-
science fund dates from 1911, when
an unidentified person, claiming to
have defrauded the government,
sent SIS to the treasury. Other de-
posits of similar character brought
the total for that year to $3.50.
No further deposit appears to
have been made in the fund until
1927, when Sc was received, but up
to February l, 1895, total of S61T,'
S29.52 was received, including the
record sum of S54, 923.15 during

SEA AIRL|NES
DUE IN YEARS

Transatlantic passenger flights
and high speed substratosphere
transportation were predicted
within the next two years by AS
sistant Secretary Of Commerce j.
Monroe johnson, in charge of
aviation, in a speech last night at
the University Club.
Negotiations are now under
way, Colonel johnson pointed out,
to establish an airplane service
across the North Atlantic.
Future aircraft will be designed
for very high speeds at attitudes
far above the ground - so high
that it will be necessary to super
charge passenger cabins and pilot
compartments, he predicted.
Pointing out that these develop
ments came only 80 years after
the first flight of an airplane,
Colonel johnson declared that
aviation offered more possibilities
than any industry in the world
today. He said:
America now is second to no
nation in commercial flying. 1t
is so far ahead Of the rest of
the world that there is no Sec
ond nation"

ALBANY, Dec. 8 GN.S0-It
was mighty nice Of the governor
Of New York to congratulate his
15-year.old son on his marriage
so the boy feels-but whenever
John Lehman gets married he's
going to insist on being present
at the ceremony.
GOV. Herbert H. LIE h m a n
chuckled today as he told the
story.
While in the South recently,
the governor learned Of the mar.
riaee OF Donald John Lehman, a
former newspaperman here, and
he and Mrs. Lehman sent a let
ter of congratulations, mailing the
miSsive to Albany.
Unable to find the addressee,
the post office forwarded the leU-
ter to the Executive Mansion,
where the official staff, believing
1t was intended for the governors
son, promptly sent 1t on its way
to the Western school attended by
John Lehman.
With twinkling eyes, Governor
Lehman concluded:
John wrote to us and thanked
us for our good wishes. He added,
however, that when he gets mar
ried he wants to be present at
the ceremony"
