• REMINDER OF
MUM’S EXTRA
DRY IS PASSING
PARIS, July 8 (by Associated
Press).—Paris is witnessing the pass
ing of one of the last reminders in
^ France of the famous German cham
pagne King, Baron Walter de Mumm.
1 The handsome furniture of the
wealthy vine merchant which was
sequestrated early in the war in his
apartment on the Avenue du Bois
Boulogne, is being sold for the benefit
of the state.
The contents of the beautiful apart
ment included some fine tapestries
and several specimens of 18th cen
turp cabinet makers’ work. The sale
brought more than 500,000 francs.
One piece of tapestry, valued by the
government officers at 50 francs
-* brought 8,000 francs. The sale at
tracted a large gathering of prominent
Parisians because Herr Mumm’s
apartment was known as one of the
most lavishly furnished in the fash
ionable quarter of Paris.
c ^
An American girl, Mary de Mumm,
now living with her grandfather, C.
C. K. Scoville, a banker of Seneca,
Kansas, is a daughter of Baron Walter
de Mumm, who married Mr. Scoville’s
daughter. The de Mumm estate in
France, estimated in some reports to
amount to $20,000,000 was sequestrat
ed by the French government in the
war as the Baron is a German subject
although he had spent most of his
life in France. The Baron went to
Germany when the war began and the
Baroness remained in France serving
as a nurse.
In an effort to safeguard her share
of the de Mumm estate in France, the
Baroness de Mumm came to the
United States in October, 1919, and
through an act of Congress her Amer
ican citizenship was restored to her.
Returning to France she sought a di
vorce, but died there while this action
was pending.
The Baroness’ sister, Mrs. Jose
phine Treadwell, of New York, brought
her sister’s body from Paris to Sen
sca in May last. As she was leav
ing Cherbourg, the agents of the
French government seized jewels she
was wearing, on the ground that they
were property of her sister but on ar
riving at New York Mrs. Treadwell
declared that the jewels were her
>own.
Baroness de Mumm had claimed
that she had been given title to two
fifths of the property of the Baron
under a separation agreement which
if substantiated would leave her little
daughter Mary, now about five years
old, the heiress to about $8,000,000.

East Is Against West on St. Lawrence Improvement
' _ 4 ^
WASHINGTON.—The question whether or not it is advisable to improve
the St. Lawrence river so that ports on the Great Lakes will have access
eastward to the sea, so that deep draft ocean-going freighters can load at Chi
cago and other lake ports is now up
in earnest. Hearings have begun and
the commissioners have decided to vis
it Chicago and other ports so that
they may be able to get the views of
shippers at first hand.
The first hearing of the interna
tional waterways commission took
place in Buffalo. As the proposed im
provements are along the boundary
line between the United States and
Canada, both nations are represented
on the commission. The United States
is represented by Obadiah Garner, of Maine; R. B. Glenn of North Carolina,
and Clarence D. Clark of Wyoming. The Canadians are Charles A. McGrath,
A. J. Powell and Sir William Hearst. Mr. Gardner is chairman. The points
to be considered by the commission come under the following heads: (1) De
sirability of the suggested waterway; (2) probable effect of the improvement
on the development of commerce, both bn the Great Lakes and between lake
ports and the seaboard; (3) influence of the improvements on the industrial
development on either side of the border, it being estimated that fully 2,500,
000 horse power can be developed; (4) effect on existing, or projected, water
routes between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic, with special reference to
the New York barge canal.
During the hearing at Buffalo it developed that representatives of the
New York barge canal, together with interests along its line, are antagonistic
to the proposed St. Lawrence development. All of those who represent the
West are in favor of the project.
