BISHOP OF LONDON
* ' CAN NOT MAINTAIN
TWO OFFICIAL HOMES
LONDON, June 15 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—The bishop of
London, Dr. Ingram, with a salary of
$50,000, finds that he can not keep up
both of the residences which go with
his position, and proposes to rent or
sell his town house. The bishop’s
town house is situated in St. James’
square, about the most aristocratic
area of London. It was once the home
of the Earls of Warwick, and the
church bought it some two centuries
ago.
The other residence is Fulham pal
ace, which is across the Thames from
the suburb of Putney, where the Ox
ford-Cambridge boat races start.
The bishop explained to a diocesan
conference that $32,500 of his income
went for income tax, super-tax, muni
cipal taxes and insurance. That left
T him only $17,500 to maintain these two
establishments, and to keep a motor,
' and the minimum of ten servants ab
solutely needed for Fulham palace
alone.
“You must see,” he said, “it can not
be done. You ask your wives. Pessi
mists have told me I would not be
able even to keep Fulham palace go
ing, but I intend to make a great effort
before parting with a historic posses
sion of the church for 1,300 years.”
The bishop is in the same boat with
numerous others of the clergy. They
are appointed to a position with a cer
tain salary “and living.” The “liv
ing” is a residence, often larger than
they can maintain on the salary, so
that it constitutes a liability rather
than an asset. Several important
church officials have closed their
houses during the war, and have lived
in less expensive houses.
AMERICA FURNISHING
FOOD TO SERBIANS
* BELGRADE, Serbia, June 5 (by
mail).—Northern Serbia, which for
several months after the war was vir
tually isolated from contact with al
lied sources of supply, is now receiv
ing a steady stream of goods of all
kinds. These goods are brought in by
way of Fiume, as there is no through
rail connection north from Saloniki
across Serbia, owing to the fact that
the main north-south railroad in Ser
bia still is being repaired, and hun
dreds of bridges are lying smashed
beyond repair in the beds of the
streams they once spanned. At pres
ent it requires, with good luck, from
ten to fifteen days to cross Serbia
from Saloniki to Belgrade by motor
truck and rail.
The American army food mission
and the American Red Cross are daily
sending truckloads of food, clothing
and medical supplies into northern
Serbia from Belgrade. The American
Red Cross in northern Serbia has es
tablished stations at Curprija, Kragu
jevac, Palanka, Pozharevatz, Shabatz,
Negotin, Petrovatz, Obrenovatz and
Semendria, from which centers hun
dreds of smaller towns are served.
At all these points American army doc
tors, American army nurses and for
mer doughboy chauffeurs and motor
transport men are busy.
FAMOUSCREEL FAMILY
MAY RECOVER FORTUNE
MEXICO CITY, June 15 (Corres
pondence of the Associated Press).—
When representatives of the famous
Creel family of Chihuahua recently
appeared before the government offi
cials here with requests for informa
tion regarding the whereabouts of
miningT railway and other valuable
stock valued at close to 2,000,000
pesos, they were astonished to learn
that the stock, as well as about 2,
000,000 pesos in paper money, was
held by the national treasury for iden
tification of ownership and that it
only had been discovered a few
months ago.
According to published accounts,
workmen, while cleaning out a spare
room in the building used by the fed
eral district government, found a
score of locked boxes which contained
the paper money and shares. Neither
the governor of the federal district,
General Alfredo Breceda, nor the dis
trict court, after guarded investiga
tions, could determine who owned the
treasure, so it was turned over in
trust to the national treasury.
The theory is that, during the first
revolutionary troubles which resulted
in the downfall of Porfirio Diaz, the
boxes were sent from Chihuahua to a
private residence of the Creels here
and that, when the Zapatistas first
entered Mexico City, they were placed
in charge of the federal district gov
ernment.
The Creel representative stated
that a large sum of metallic currency
and a valuable collection, of jewels
also were being sought, but of these
easily realizable riches, no trace has
been discovered.
Electric irons, 3 pounds to 6 1-2
pounds. Prices $3.50 to $6.50 at the
Northwestern Hardware Company.
