As Mr. Insult's health improves, so his quick mind is turning once, more to the business field, where he amassed one of tho biggest fortunes of tho century. Already he is becoming.one of the "big brains" of Greece. Powerful Greek financiers and lectricity experts, it is stated, are paying frequent visits to him at his Athens hotel t6 seek his advice. The man who worked side by side with Edison; and the Greek financiers are spending hours in conference. Big schemes for financial and electrical development in Greece are being studied and drawn up. When the world situation improves, these ideas will be put into force. Mr. Insull is keeping himself well acquainted with the momentous political and financial events in America and , Germany through the help of his wife who recently arrived in Athens. She is an expert linguist, and daily she reads aloud the French newspapers published in Athens, thus 'giving her husband the latest news. But while the famous financier is dreaming of his "come-back," the man who was sent to bring him back to America, Mr. Andrew Vlahos, the Chicago State Attorney,. remains. in Athena waiting for instructions from Chicago, where, it is stated, the authorities are considering the framing of fresh '.charges against Mr. Insull, in order that.a new application for his extradition' may be made. Meanwhile, though, he is worried' by the news from Chicago, the. financier expresses confidence that he will be able to defeat any further efforts by the American authorities. He may make his home permanently in Greece.
