IDLE FUND GROWS '

Half MilUaa Dollara Uft B; Son of
Western Pioneer Han Iliwbled
In Elglity YenrR.
St. Louis.—A million dollars with*
out an owner is the subject of a court
suit in St. Louis.
Lost to use, the money is idle. It
cant even he given away or otherwise
disposed cf iT|^ its present status.
All this happened because the West

lamphy, rich, eccentric liachelor who
^was mayor of St. Louis during the
flood-tide of the western-ho move
ment.
Himself the son of a pioneer, .Mul-
lamphy watched travelers trek west
ward through St. Ixiuis. Noting suf
fering and privation in their ranks,
he bought 'supplies for them and re
paired their achoonert.
One-third of his fortune, according
to the will left at this death in 1S61,
was left to the oity of St. Louis “to
constitute a fund to furnish relief to
poor immigrants and travelers coming
to St. Louis on their way, bona Tide,
to settle in the West.
The bequest consisted of real es
tate which was then valued at $500,-
000. It has been tangled in litigation
for 80 years ajnce then. The fund
fell into disuse when immigration
laws stemmed the flow of penniless

settlers.
With the idle fund now totalling
more than $1,000,000, a group of Mul-
lamphy heirs, representing descend
ants from his five sisters, seek to dis
solve the charity trust.
Opposing their reqqeat, the city
contends the will made no provision
for reversion to hain, mod aaks that
the fund be given to charities consist
ent with Mullamphy's original wishes.

In a formal statement Mr. Sawyer
said, in part:
‘iVerjr re^ntly the-price of domestici
cement, f. o. b. has been increased ap
proximately 60 per cent, which in
crease we believe to be unreasonable
and exorbitant.
"Such an increase will not be ac*
cepted or tolerated by the state high
way commission and the executives
of the state highway department and
we are in the process of making ne
gotiations that will cause cement to
be furnished for our statewide pro
gram at, what we consider to be, a
just and equitable charge.
"It is our purpo.se to expand this
initial hardsurface program to in
clude all links in the present paved
hardsurface system and important
highways, in the hardsurface system •
insections of the state which hereto
fore have no or very limited hard-
surfaee mileage.
"This expansion w-iH be furthered!
a.s quickly as the unit prices, the sup
ply of materials and the proper ex
tension of our engineering construc-
,tion forces will warrant." —
