Mo.--Twelve years ago he was a millionaire-minus, that Is, he owed a million. And today Emory J. Sweeney of this city Is a schoolman, free of debt--- and he Intends to stay that way. Making the million In real estate developments was difficult enough, but paying his debts of a million was even more difficult so he has no desire for either experience again. • Mr. Sweeney settled his debts t>y disposing of some of the luxuries which his fortune brought him. They included a huge mansion, a teh-story business building, a fleet of motor cars valued at $100,000, a huge real estate subdivision, and a radio station. Today the man lives in a comfortable home and owns a three-story building where his school Is conducted. The good heart' of Mr. Sweeney actually proved his undoing. He was at the height of~hls prosperity at the end of the World war, when influenza swept the nation and snapped the backbone of his fortune. "I took care of the sick boys, although I was only paid to teach them," Sweeney explains. "Influenza became the country's problem, and I made those boys my own problem. I bought and rented hospitals--and paid the bills out of my pocket." The real estate business suddenly seemed stricken by illness, too, for Mr. Sweeney met trouble In that field also. Finally he counted his debts at the million mark, and then he began paying his obligations. The last settlement was made just a few days ago when he disposed of Indian Village, a pretentious land development from which he at once time expected to realize another fortune. W. E.
