Duped For Life
Savings Twice

BOSTON, (ANP) A 65-year
old handyman is having more
trouble holding on to his life's
savings than he probably had saw
ing it, it seems, for during the past
years, two men have duped him
out of his money.
First the victim, Wiillam Bennett
fell prey to Jerry McPhee, an or
derby at Massachusetts, General
hospital, and more recently to a
police officer, george L. King, ~,
alias "Patrolman Kane"
King took $3.50 from Ben
nett's bank account allegedly to
buy a chicken farm for Bennett
in New Hampshire. He had Ben
nett's bank book by virtue of tel
ling him he had recovered $1,000
from McPhee from Bennett, and he
wanted to deposit it in the bank
for his victim. All the time Ben
nett knew him only as "Patrol-
man Kane"
Originally the handyman had
$4,000 which he gave, to the or
derby to keep for him. The orderly
went on several spending sprees,
however, and had only $1,000 Of
the money when he was caught.

school of the white University of
Texas in Galveston, it was an

This move was made after the

priated only 100000 to the
school. President R. O'Hara Lanier
had asked for O,OOO,O0O

Barnett said.
He is a native Of Austin. During

Peruvian Village Gets
Wafer System, But
III Works Like Sieve

IQUITOS, Peru, Dec. 26 CD.
ND-After As years of patient
work and waiting, the city fathers
of this Peruvian Indian village
turned on their new municipal
water system.
The result looked like an old
garden hose full of holes from
spigot to sprinkler.
Water spouts shot out all over
town, but not even faint trickle
reached the far ends of the sys-
tenn in some neighborhoods. While
sections of pipe had been dug up
years ago and used for clothes
poles.
Sadly, the stole city fathers
shook their heads, turned off the
water and told the people to go
on using their wells until repairs
were made.
Started in 1905.
The Iquitos water system looked
like something Rube Goldberg
thought up. Funds were first ap-
propriated for it in 1905. One
trusted city father made the 40
day trip across the Andes to Lima
to make a down payment on the
equipment but caught a boat to
Europe instead.
Funds again were appropriated.
But they disappeared when a new
set of city fathers took over.
The Foundation Co. OF New
York City finally delivered equip
ment to Iquitos and laid the pipes
in 1925.
But the money had disappeared
to dig the deep wells so that this
town of $4,000 might have run
ming water.
Gave Up for rs Years.
In despair, everybody gave up
for a quarter century.
But this year, 1t was decided
that 1quitos must have water by
1850.
Some of the pipes in the down.
town section were checked and
replaced. But no one realised
how many had rotted out and dis
appeared in the residential dis
trictS.
The city fathers are scratching
their heads over what to do next
If anything.
