Bs Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1922. BERLIN, March 23. —Former Kaiser - Wilhelm and the former crown prince are said to be active heads of a group ol German monarchists who, for weeks, have been carrying on a pub- licity campaign in Germany, England and the United States in an attempt to revive sympathy for the imperial exiles. . Letters from the former monarch and excerpts from dlaries, books and pamphlets, supposed'y written by the “all highest emperor,” have shot up in the newspapers like mushrooms and everybody is again talking about the Hohenzollerns. Even a scandal or two have been thrown in for good measure. v Ex-Kaiser’s Pamphlets Printed. Scarcely a day passes without con- tributing to this sort of history, which generally shrivels to nothing when analyzed critically by the real his- torians. According to reports this publicity campaign has been success- ful abroad, where much space is de- voted to stuff supposed to have been written by the former emperor. German socialists now €ill attention to the royalist propaganda campaign and claim that the former kalser's letters, books and diarles were not written during or directly after his fiight, but are of recent date and were written by his press agents as part of the present campaign. The social- ists deciare that this establishes the fact that the exiled former ruler and his relatives are in collusion with the Potsdam monarchist plotters who are carrying o more emergetically than ever before. although they Have lost one of their leaders through the im- prisonment of Von Jagow, who Is serving a sentence of five years for his participation in the Kapp coup d'etat. Scheme to Win Sympathy. Dr. Kapp’s offer to return to Ger- many for trial, according to the so- cialists, is also part of the monarchist campaign to arouse sympathy for their cause at home and abroad. The government has been warned repeatedly by socialist newspapers to beware of the monarchists whom it treits too leniently. “The overnment ssems to bellevy in the proverb that barking dogs d not bite,” says Vorwaerts, “but the monarchist mastiff, which i9 now only barking bit its too tolerant master once. It may grow vicious again and do more damage than merely to tear out a picce of its master's trousers as it did before.” _— e — WAITS IN DURANCE VILE WHILE OFFICIALS WRITE | Stowaway Sojourns Six Honths in Jail as His Fate Is De- cided at Leisure. ’, Immigration authorities are inves- tigating circumstances under which Antonio Briceno, a Costa Ricai ed six months in the Norfolk, Va., city jail as a result of his entering the United States as a stowaway on an American steamship. The fact of his incarceration, with the news that he was being held for the immigration bureau, was brought to Commissioner |’ General Husband’s attention this week by a Norfolk atlorney, and re- sulted in the immediate’ relegse and transfer to Ellis Island of the stow- away, where he is awaiting deporta- tion. From records =o far available, Mr. Husband said, Briceno arrived at Nor- folk on a Shipping Board vessel, suc- cessfully hiding himself up to the time it left his native land. He was immediately judged an undesirable alien and not qualified for admission as an immigrant, but failed to appeal from the local inspector's judgment and was put under detention in the Norfolk jail. In the ordinary course, had he arrived in a privately owned ship, master or owner would have been held responsible for his imme- diate return to Costa Rica. But with the Shipping Board, an- other government department, un- willingly responsible for his arrival, the ordinary official channels did not suffice to give him an exit. Corre- spondence between subordinates as to Antonio's status snd what was to be done with him apparently ensued, while he was held in jail.” and the record in his case somehow became lost for a' time. His release was quickly accomplish- BAND MAKES ITS DEBUT Work of Brigade Commended by Deputy Chief of Staff—Urges Extension.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 23.— Whiskers, whiskers everywhere—and not a chin to scrape. The greatest whisker race ever conceived by man is on todzy in Sacramento. It will end in a_whisker show during the week of May 23-28, and a prize of $49 will be awarded to the wearer of the winning beard. Length. appearance and luxuriance of growth ewill be the determining factors. All of which means that Sacra- mento is preparing for a grand cele- bration of the days of '49 and the male contingent of her population have decided to wear real whiskers in emulation of the sturdy pioneers of the gold rush. The movement started among a few patriotic per- sona. but now it has been taken up by the many. Youths with the first down of man's estate just sprout- ing upon their cheeks, ‘are arrayed against their strong-bristled elders. Whiskers red, whiskers gray, whiskers black and whiskers blond are being met on every street cor- ner, as each “old timer” squinis an appraising eye at the hirsute growth of every other “old timer” in this strange new struggle for bewhisk- ered splendor. And are the 150 barbers of Sac- ramento—the men of strop and razor—tearing their hair in de- spair at the sudden depression in the shave market? Far from such. Instead of getting 15 cents for a matutinal chin scrape, they are charging anywhere from 50 cents to an “iron man” for daily whisk- er_treatments. “Let us show you how to raise your whiskers. = We traln them any style, from the professor to the cow puncher.” Curley = Williams, the barber, was first to recognize the fortune which might ensue from expert sign which quickly appeared in his_shop.

It takes good irri- gation to make alfaifa grow; hence the lavish use of liquid first alds to whiskers. Mirrors in front of shops are crowded each day by men who in- spect the development of their beards with hopeful interest.

The whisker growing contest had its origin in the formation of the “Whiskers Club,” whose mem- bers, desirous of emulating the facial flora of their ploneer for- bears, marched to the post office steps and “took the pledge” to remain “behind the brush” until the '49 celebration is over.

EUREKA, Calif., March 23— Mixed jurles belleve ‘in woman's rights—even her right to walk home from church on a Sunday morning, and whistle as she walks. A jury of seven men and five women has awarded Miss Janet Sunter, aged twenty-two years, and progressive in her ideas, a verdict of $2,000 damages for false arrest. The jury took cognizance of the fact that the whistling church- goer resisted arrest to the full ex- tent of her physical ability. Policeman John Fraser, *against whom the verdict was rendered, thought that his severely barked shins and his ruffled dignity had been penalty enough for his mis- guided efforts to maintain the peace and sacredness of the Sab- bath against the “whistlin’ blues.” But the jury thought otherwise and the patrolman and his bonds- men have been mulcted in con- sequence. It seems that Miss Sunter, one beautiful Sunday last summer, was returning from church, and, filled with the joy of living on such a wonderful day, walked down the middle of the street whistling.

Policeman Fraser dashed to the rescue of community law and order. The Meekins dashed with him. They encountered Miss Sun- ter at the entrance to her home. ‘The policeman indignantly ordered the young lady to retire to her room and mediate upon her sins. Miss Sunter met this challenge by announcing she was going out to whistle some more. She proclaim- ed aloud her very decided views concerning the rights of American citizenship under the nineteenth amendment. Then came theé attempted arrest —and something akin to a cyclone. The policeman says he was badly battered. Meekin got a black eve. Mrs. Meekin was sent at one time during the battle to the police station for reinforcements and testified that at the time she left the scene Miss Sunter, who weighs 115 pounds, had both the police- man and her husband down and almost out.
