GOVERNOR McLEAN NOT
" SPONSORING DIRT DEALS
Is Net ’lnterceded m Wild Acres or
Any Other Real Estate Develop
ment.
Raleigh Bureau of
, The Tribune
Raleigh. March 25.—Questioned
yesterday evening rumors
that he was in some way connected
with the Wild Acres development near
Little Switzerland, Governor A. W.
McLean denied emphatically that he
had “gone into the real estate busi
ness or that ’.ie had any interest,
financial or otherwise, with that or
any other enterprise.
The rumors evidently arose from
the publication, in an advertisement
of the names of an “advisory com
fnittee,” presumably for the Wild
Acres project, of which Governor
McLean's name was first.
He had consented to having his
name used as a member of an ad
visory committee when approached by
Thomas Dixon, the creator of Wild
Acres, the governor explained, but
only after he had been assured that
the coinmitttee was to foster the de
velopment of an arts clubs and was
j for civic purposes only,
i The governor is inclined to be
lieve that the advertisement from
which the erroneous impression was
gained was written without the sanc
tion of Dr. Dixon, and made public
a telegram he received from him even
before the advertisement had been
called to his attention.
“Shocked to discover the use made
of our advisory board in advertising
lots.” the telegram read. “Wired
Mr. Hines peremptory order not to
repeat this. While we must have
ten thousand people there to realize
our plan and while every dollar made
in the sale will be used to build wat
erworks. lights, clubs, streets, ho
tels and auditorium, I will not per
mit such use of our board. Pleaee'
accept my apologyy with assurance
that the blunder will not be repeated.

The board roster included the names
of the governors of South Carolina,
Georgia and Mississippi, the presi
dents of all the important educational
institutions in the state and a num
ber of others high in educational and
art circles outside the state.

LONG THOUGHT
HE WAS ROSS
Man Is Quoted as Saying j
He Had Felt For Many
Years That He Is Person j
Lost in Year 1874.
( ; Asheville. March 25. — (A) —The
. | Asheville Times in a copyrighted
"1 story today declares that .Tilling Cole
I j man Dellinger. Gaston county ear
.' penter, is the man who believes nl
j most to a certainty that lie is Charlie
. Ross, son of a Philadelphia mil'ion
. aire, missing since 1874.
In an interview with Robert Bun
nel'e, Times reporter yesterday; Mr.
Dellinger revealed himself as the man
who confronted more than forty years
ago with information that his real
name was not Dellinger, bad spent
the greater part of his time since in
tracing down his real identity, with
the result that today he lias a large
batch of papers which undoubtedly
will give him a hearing on his claim
of being the real Charlie Ross, sought
for fifty years by relatives.
Mr. Dellinger declares he has spent
a fortune in tracing down his nncea*
try. and has a picture of himself
ay hen a baby Avhicli he hopes will ear
tablish his claim finally Avhen com*
pared with photographs in possession
of the Ross family.
His earliest investigations, he said,
seem to point to the fact that his
fasther Avas L. D. Dellinger, a States-
A-ille man now dead, and whose body
i« buried in Asheville, He adopted
that name. Within the past few
months, however, he declares he has
discovered that the son of L. D. Del
linger. who was abducted about the
same time as Charlie Ross, had com
mitted suicide and that his body is
buried in Birmingham, Ala. He pro
duced affidavits which corroborated
his statement.
The rest of Mr. Dellinger's story
reads like a novel, but with inescap
able logic which he present# teethe
.oi.„ of -signed statements, pSSkF
j graphs and affidavits. For the past
five years, he declared, he has written
! an a\ r erage of one hundred letters a
Aveek in an effort to find out who he
is. with the result he has been able
to trace his history back to the tjme [
he was brought to Gaffney. S. C., as a
child by a man who called himself J.
H. McCale. and a woman supposed to
j have been McHale’s wife, Avliose '
I maiden name Avas Mary Jane Cath
[ cart. That was a year after Charlie
Ross had been kidnapped in the East
on July 1. 1974. , ■
His earliest recollection, says Mr. ;
Dellinger, is of a large white two
story house surrounded by a high iron
j fence. He must have been a child
of not more than two or three years
j then, he said. There Avere lights in
the distance, he remembers, and a ,
little creek that ran near his home. [
The description, it is declared by [
those who followed the case, coin
cides with the location of the Ross

of business tapered off and prices
showed reactions of a few points from
the best at the end of the first hour.
The outlook for unsettled Aveather,

As Coggeshall was being strapped

and grapsed his hand and a smile that
seemed to be of pride illuminated his
face.
“Look lat him, gentlemen,” he said.
“He is as clean and innocent as the

Coggeshall looked him squarely in
the eye, but did not reply and
father continued:
“YouNvere a good boy, and the fu

MELLON CHANGES
HIS PREDICTIONS
Treasury Department Al
ready Has Received
More Than He Predict
ed for the Month.
Washington. March 25.—UP)—In
come tax collections for the first
quarter under the new revenue, law
are noyv expected to reach $435,000.-
000, or within six millions dollars
of collections a year ago under she
higher rates.
This total, predicted today at the
, Treasury, exceeds by $35,000,000 the
first estimate of Secretary Mellon on
the collections for this quarter.
These figures take into account
only the income tax collections, but
i considerable reductions are expected
in the miscellaneous tax collections,
since the new law repealed many of
these levies.
The increased returns, despite the
lower rates, was attributed by Secre
tary Mellon today to the large profits
last year, and to the stimulation in
business which he believes resulted
! from the anticipation of tax redue
| tions,
