Poor Brooklyn Policeman, JNOW Lon£ ueaa,
Roturht Florida Acres Which are now Worth
Two Million Dollars. Fortune Comes to Kelieve
Struggling Widow's Family.
** *
New York, January., 28. 1926.—This is a story of land.
Summed up it again demonstrates what a wonderful country of op
portunities is these United States, and what is possible in the fortunes of
families within the short span of 35 years.
Careful, thought and intelligent investment in land in this country
ha* seldom failed to return a big profit. It is the history of almost every
state and town. Men of vision and keen judgment are always advocating
the investment of earnings in land, rather than in dubious ventures of
commerce promoted by sharpers who hold out the ever-alluring bait of
"pet-rich-quick," '
Written Specially for the News
(By Robert Fuller)
Thru Autocaster Service.
About 35 years ago John I. Baird,
now dead, but at that ti me a poor po
liceman living in Brooklyn, N. Y. in
•vested a part of his small savings in
about 100 acres of land on the Indian
HSYier near Melbourne, Florida. It
«nipfat be he was rather doubtful of
tbe investment in land which he had
never seen, and which was so far away
from his home. At any rate he did
not mention the investment to mem
bers of his family.
Years passed and John Baird
worked on, struggling to raise his
family, two boys and a girl, giving
them the best education possible with
in his means.
About fifteen years ago, John Baird
(died. He left little. There was a
small saving account—and some pa
pers. The papers meant nothing to
«be children. Edward Baird, one of
tbe sons was having a struggle of
hia own to care for a family of four.
Xa ■ few years he died, too, and left
almost as tittle as his father.
Then the real struggle began, for
tbe window, Helen Baird. She had a
alight musical education, so she turned
to teaching. Month after month
«trough many years she managed to
bold the little family of two boys and
a girl together,
"I can't say we ever have really
known actual want," she said yester
but it was a terrible struggle
to keep our home going. Somehow,
«am;, I managed to keep the
children in school."
And that was the situation of the
Baird family a few months ago.
There seemed to be no prospects of a
sudden change in fortune.
I •
Down in Florida a real estate man
started looking around for available
trails, when land began to be worth
acquiring. He found that a large
pared of a tract desired by a syndi
cate, stood in the name of John Ira '
Bail'd. The land was so much desired
that tbe real estate man came
to New York in search of John Baird.
The 100 acres of land John Baird
bought for a mere pittance is now
•worth about $2,000,000. The real
estate man frankly admitted it, and
is a bidder for it when the John Ira
N
in
Baird estate is legally put in shape
Bra. Helen Baird now finds her
children wealthy. Her husband's
brother, the other son of old John f
Baird, is stilt alive, but has not yet ;
Jbeen located. It is thought he lives
in Connecticut.
In the meantime, Helen Baird has
in
gone into court asking for an order
making her the executor of the estate g
in her children's name. The daughter
mf John Baird is now dead. The prop
**«y wiU be divided between the four
children of Heien; the living son; and
Jkes children of the deceased daughter,
Ihm««.
Far Mrs. Baird and her children,
Seien, Ira and Joseph, now respec
tively 18, 16 and 13 years old, the
future is bright They say;
"We have made no foolish plans.
We intend to be sane and act with
potdence. By all means we will try
first to get a good education. Beyond
that —we shall pYer bless the day that
grandfather Baird invested his small
savings in Florida land."

The Senate Friday
Th principal business of Friday's ; J
sesion was a discussion over the mat
ter of whether the committees ap- [
pointed by the senate to probe into the |
conditions of state institutions should
be compelled to receive consent from
the senate before incurring expense*
in connection with their investigations, j
Senator Griffin offered motion to this
effect, and after some lively debate
a vote was taken which resulted in
22 to 23 in favor of a motion that itj
would not be necessary to receive con- j
sent from the senate. Senator Garber
told the senate that some of the com-j
mittees had already incurred expense j
in the performance of the probing (
duties and Senators Clark and Stewart
contended that it would be necessary ;
to visit the institutions, in order that j
knowledge could be gained of actual t
conditions existing.
Senator Griffin, Pauline and Buttle
named as a committee by
man were
Pres. McCormack to study the schools,
nd educational institutions and make j
mmendations for any needed leg- t
Some bills were introduced

and then the senate adjourned until
1:30 Monday afternoon, the 26th.
The House Friday
The bill relating to primary elec
lions, which was under discussion in :
the House on Wednesday, passed that i
body on Friday afternoon by a vote
of 50 to 31. This is commonly known
the closed primary act and requires,
that all persons voting at primary
elections be compelled to designate
their political affiliation. Following
