Humert ‘Fooled \ World for 20 Years, Pulling Fortune Out of Thin Air , BY EDWIN D. RIDDER, N. E. A. Staff Correspondent. Boston, Aug. 24—In the annals of | gigantic .gét-rich-quick schemes, Cas- |sie Chadwick bested Ponzi— but she Mme. Humbert, who for. stragetic execution for 20 years of'a daringly simple story, must tar outrank Cassie. Mme. Humbert, :a' French provincial, went to Paris in 1883 and announced she had been left a fortune by an American uncle, but that it was tied up. On the strength of this story she borrow more than $14,000,000 from the most cynical Parisian bankers! Society and Politics ~ She bolstered. up the ‘story for 20 years, made a ‘tremendous dash in Paris society, and hér husband and son ‘rose high in French poltics in the two decades her bubble lasted. This cunning ‘swindler said the fag- tune that her “American uncle Robert Henry Crawford,” left her amounted to '$20,000,000. but.that it was tied up in her safe by terms of the will. To open thé safe, she said, would lose ‘the fortune. Would the bankers want her to lose fortune and position? No! She en- tered an orgy of borrowing. — \ Then, to keep her creditors at bay, she cleverly created fictitious “nep- hews” to contest the fortune. These two characters, through lawyers Mme. Humbert hired, went through one court after another for 20 years fight- ing her. ~ Orders Bate Opened _ Finally ¥French criminal courts or- dered the safe opened. This was done in the midst of an angry, jerring§ crowd. Contents: a button,.a' few. old coins and a news- paper! The Humbert family had fled from France. They were found Dec. 20, 1902, in Madrid -and taken back to Paris. There Mme. Humbert was sent to prison for several years, Even after her release she main- tained her original story was true. The United States received nearly $3,000,000 in income ‘from grazing on the national domains. 6 BESTED BY FAMOUS WOMAN DUPE NEW PETROLEUM MERGER TO MAKE ,GREAT CONCER Standard Oil Subsidiary and Tropical Oil Company Get Together New York, Aug. 24-—-Official an- nouncement of the conclusion of n2- gotiations for the merger of the In- ternational Petroleum company, lim- ited, a subsidiary of-the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, and the Trop- ical Oil company, controlled by the Benédum-Trees-Treat-Crawford inter- ests of Pittsburgh, a deal ‘involving approximately $100,000,000 has. been; made. By the terms. of..the. merger, it is planned to organize. a new Intern tional Petroleum company, limited, under ‘the laws of Canada, with an uthorized issue of at least 100.000 preferred shares, par value $5 and at least 7,118,138 common shares. of (9 par value.

THEIR MOST SACRED SHRINE Exploring Party of the American Mu- seum of Natural History of New York Find Intehesting Work of Pre- historic Race—No Room Approach. Ing It in Beauty and Perfection Has Ever Been Discovered in America. Another big discovery—the most wonderful yet—in ‘the form of a seal- ed-up room, has just been. made at ithe Poeblo ruin jn Aztec, New Mexico, which Is in course of excavation by the Americin Museum of Natural His- tory of New York city: \Dr. Clark Wissler, curator of the miseum' 's department of: anthropology, recently reported by letter to his asso- ciates in New York: “he room ts in’ perfect condition. The ‘interior is plastered and painted in a brilliant white with dull red side borders and a runnfg series of tri- ‘angular. designs, No room approach- ing this ‘In befuty and perfection has ever been discovered in America. There are’several adjoining rooms that seem to have some relation to this, but It will be some time before they can be dug out. “What we have {fs obviously the holiest sanctum or shrine of these pre- historic people. There is not much In it, all the sacred objects having been removed from the altar. But a sacred serpent is carved in wood over the ceiling. It is 2% feet long and of the finest workmanship. Nothing lke this has ever before been found, to my kiowledge, On the ceiling beams are imprints of hands made by rubbing white paint on the palms and fingers and ‘then pressing down upon the beams. Several strands of beautiful- ly-made rope hang from the ceiling, presumably for the support of hang- ing objects. On the floor were a large numberof nicely-cut stone slabs, one of which was 2% by 1% feet and % inch thick, “This room will be carefully pro- tected from visitors and will be one of the best exhibits here. Lead in Culture. . “There is a patnted room In one of the cliff houses in Mesa Verde park that has sone resemblance to this, but does not compare with the one tthe have just found, This room Is, h ever, one more suggestion that the peo- ple who lived in the cliff houses were the founders of the culture at Aztec | and Bonito. Doctor Wissler writes that the ruin fs now most impressive, @ large “part of .it having been uncovered by the American museum excavation party which has for five seasons past Work- ed under the direction of Mr. Earl H. Morris: . “Since the greater. part ‘of the. west side is now uncovered, one can get a full sweep over this immense complex of stone walls and quaint doorways. | __ “Our excavations have revealed one calamity that~befell ‘this city. The greater part of the east and north sides were swept by fire: We cannot’ be sure that this wag due to one big fire, but it was most likely so, The ceilings were of wood, supported by great logs of cedar and spruce, over- laid by split cedar and bark. These fell down upon each other and lay In the lower rooms {o great charred masses, No doubt many precious ob- jects went out in this great fire, As 1 have said before, we found the bodies of several unfortunates caught in the rooms, “Ag the fire did not reach the west side, we find a large number of rooms with their ceilings still inta¢t ahd household utensils ou the, floor just | as they were: left. Much Timber Used. “I have spent some time estimating the amount of timber used In building this city, There were the logs of some 200 pine trees 30 feet long and about 12 inches in diameter. About 600 cedar logs of the same size, but averaging 10 féet in length. (‘he ce dar here rarely produces a_ longer trunk.) About 1,200 straight, beauti- ful poles of pine and cotton wouotl. Finally there is not less than 100 cords of split cedar splints for covering the ceilings. All this wood was worked with:stone. From this it 1s clear that these people were good “lumberjacks.” “A Mexican who has been working for us just came in to report that he has uncovered a skeleton. Upon ex- amination we found that the body had apparently been buried in ‘a fallen room at the edge of the ruin. A little lower down we came upon the skele- ton of his grandchild (?) probably about five years old. “[his reminds me that we have named the extreme southwest corner of the ruin ‘Potter’s Field.” Among the bodies buried here no utensils or implements have been found, and they are not wrapped. This was also a poorly-bullt section, The rooms con- tain very little. Further back the rooms have fine stone walls and the burials show every sign of wealth. “A few days ago at the west side of the ruin the digging of a post hole: brought to light the stone wall of a kiva below the level of the ruin. This seeing to belong to a small but much older ruin that preceded.” The season's plan is to work out; the main remaining portion of the west side of the ruin, / In 1919, the number of deaths in | Hungary exceeded that of births by 1 1550.
