Heir to Estate Worth
Million Is Mustard
Maker of Chicago
Cblrago Tribune-Omaha Be Leaaed Wire.
Chicago, July 7. Count Albert
Broel-Plater, who has just been
notified that he is soon to receive a
million dollars actual money, was1
found today stirring a pot of mus
tard over a kitchen stove and con
sented to pause long enough to talk
cf his future.
The million dollars is to come
from the' Polish government within
two years, in return for 6,000 acres
of land belonging to his father, and
which was confiscated during the
war. As soon as he gets it Count
Albert intends to do three things.
"First, he will enlarge his mustard
factory, then he will buy a modest
little apartment aijd hunt an Amer
ican wife. Just at present he is liv
ing in a room above a, store and his
mustard manufacturing is confined
to what he can handle on the kitchen
stove when it is not on duty prepar
ino; the meals for the family with
v'hom he lives. He is very proud of
his mustard and says he formerly
prepared it for the late czar of Rus
sia. After his "ship comes in" he
will branch .out putting up .caviar
and certain lines of preserves from
recipes brought from the Russian
roval household.
The-counti is dark and handsome
and has no visible deferts excepting
the sbsenre pi his right forefinger,
which was shot off in the war.
Barley arid Corn, First
Requisites in Making
Home Brew, Clog Sewer
Residents in the neighborhood of
Twenty-sixth and ' Sprague streets
are looking at each other with quizzi
cal eyes.
It is all on account of the stoppage
of a sewer with barley and corn.
The people of this community ate
not given to throwing away these
cereals just for fun, hence ' the in
terrogation which arises over the
condition of the sewer.
Householders complained that
heir sewer w'ould not carry away
the waste water, so a sewer crew
was sent from the city engineering
department to locate the trouble.
The foreman of the gang tele
phoned to headquarters t report
that the sewer was choked with
corn and barley which -had swollen
into a mass which caused anKimpassc
in the eight-inch pipe.
The situation was reported by ths
city -engineer to the citj detective
department for investigation.
There is a suspicion that the corn
and barley were not used for pur
poses which would be approved by
the anti-saloon league. "-Last week
a South Side sewer was found
choked with raisin skins.

Coalition of Smaller
Parties at "48" Meet

speaker, who was to give an address
last night in the Lyric building an
"Republic or Empire," anticipate a
coalition of the "Committee of 48,"
the Nonpartisan -league and the
American labor party -t the con
vention which opens in Chicago
next Sunday.
"It is my opinion that the, disaf
fected elements of the other parties
will be drawn to this coalition," said
Mr. Tucker. "The socialist party
has steadfastly refused to fuse with
any other party.
"Primarily we arc interested in
promoting fundamental ideas rather
than holding public offices. We be
ieve that the time has come to intro
duce an industrial democracy and
we belice that all legislative "bodies
should be representative of the va
rious, interests of the country or lo
cality, rather than-representative of
various geographic areas. Our
representation should be from occu
pational groups."
