We DAD L[AVES MILLION SON TURNS IT DOWN Charles Garland Denounces System That Made it Possible NPLANS TO WORK SOME DAY Another Brother Takes His Share While a Third Son May Refuse His. Buzzards Bay, Mass., Nov. 29. Charles Garland, the young man who has renounced his right to a million clollar legacy left him by his father, James A. Garlands who was a wealthy club .man and yachtman of Boston, today made a formal statement of his !easons, fo.r rejecting the money. His statement, he said, was due to the t'adt that the many reports of his fail aire to accept the legacy had failed properly to present his position. "I rcfuse to accept the money be -ause it is not mine," was young Gar and's summary of his action. "A sys tem which starves thousands while hundreds are stuffed condemns itself. A. system which leaves a sick woman helpless and offers its services to a healthy man condens itself. It is .wtch a system that offers me a million dlollars," ho continued. "It is blind to the simpliest truth snowvn to every child, the truth that ~he hungry should be fedl anti the iaked clothed. I intve had t~o choose between the loss of private property -nd the law which is wvritte nin every human heart. I choose the one which I believe to be true." lieliev'es Christ Would Have Rejected Garland, who has stated he re * ouned~ his claim to the million (101 ;mrs because he thought Christ would have (lone the same, continued: "1 helieve I could do0 no good with hle money. It is the man who gives :ood to the hungry who (does good, 'ot the dollars given in exchange for hie food.

"They seem almost proud to point out the power that I have in my hands, but it is the most pitiful thing they could point to. You 'cannot serve God and Mammon." So I'many people ready to serve the dollar means so many less to serve God. There are great opportunities to do good, but they are in men's hearts not my check book.' A preacher in the name of Christ said this million should have been turned to good. He hinks that God's wort: is paid for in dollars. God's work will never be I ronie until men see that this theory is untrue." 1,iving at Mother's Expense Mr. Garlan'd's statement was made from his home here, a former inn of I stage coach (lays.
