New York, March 27.—A check for
a round million dollars was shoved
across the polished table of a hotel
sitting room today into the hand of
a young Russian Socialist who in his
days of hunger and hardship had in
vented an automatic camera to enable
the public to photograph itself as sim
ply as it buys its chewing gum, am:
in much the same way.
And the Russian, remembering his
Socialistic doctrines despite his sud
den transition into the capitalistic
class, immediately laid plans for shar
ing his money with the less 'Tortu-
nate.
Transfer of the check marked the
entry into the slot machine portrait

“I plan to create a trust fund with
half of this money, to be devoted to
general charity. The other half I plan
to administer in the interests of va
