‘rg‘ PRINGE CALLS BOY CRIPPLE IN GROWD Extends Hand at Baltimore Staticn to Occupant of - Wheel Chair. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, Md, August 30.—A nice-looking young man with a friendly grin leaned from the rear platform of a private car in Union Station today and beckoned through the crowd which had gathered to greet him to a crippled boy who was sitting wistfully in a wheel chair, his view of the nice young man' com- pletely blocked by grown-up forms. The nice young man was Edward ‘Windsor, Prince of Wales, on his way to Washington and a luncheon en- mugement at the White House. The crippled boy is Wentworth Boykin, 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Boykin, and the grand- nephew of John E. Hurst. Nearly 200 persons gathered in the train shed to meet the prince's train. Prince Edward came out on the rear platform and smiled and waved his hand. Talks With Red Cap. “Hi, Chief!" shouted a “Red Cap” from a convenient baggage truck. “How are you?" the heir to the British throne called back, and “Red Cap” almost bisected his face in an earwide grin. In the meantime young Boykin, brought from his home in Woodbrook, in Roland Park, to see the prince, was not seeing what he came for. He eraned his neck and shifted himself in his wheel chair. The prince whispered to one of his aides: “Bring that lad up here.” A line was opened in the crowd and the chair rolled forward, the oc- cupant crimson with excitement and pleasure. The prince leaned over the brass rail of the observation plat- form, with hand outstretched. “How are you getting along, son?” he asked. “Just fine,” said Wentworth Boykin. His royal highness chatted with him for a minute, posed for the news- paper photographers, coughed at the flashlight smoke, and laughed with members of his party. The prince was bareheaded, his blond hair smoothly brushed, a slight but erect figure. The stop was a brief one. On Return Trip. ‘Without coat, in shirt sleeves that had been cut off at the elbows, and with the royal suspenders in full view, the Prince of Wales passed through Baltimore again, after lunch- ing with President Coolidge. As the train bearing the prince stopped for the second time in Union Station, and the prince appeared, the crowd gasped. The much heralded blue shirt and collar were there. But the sleeves of the shirt were not. They ended in a ragged edge, as though they had been cut hurriedly with a knife or dull scissors. His trousers, which belonged to a double-breasted suit of blue with pin stripes, which he had worn earlier in the day, were full at the bottoms. Their waist line was about 3 inches higher than the style worn in America. Holding those trousers up were plain suspenders of blue. The prince smiled, waved his hand to the crowd. and nodded now and then. He appeared more weary than when he was in the station four hours before. He sent a porter to buy five humorous and theatrical magazines for him. The last Baltimore saw of him wi & wave of the royval handkerchief. DUSTING OF POSTAL WORKERS ASSALED Third Infantry Society Calls Discharge of Militiamen ‘Autocratic Indiscretion.’ The discharge of three local Na- tional Guardsmen by the Post Office Department upon their return from the annual encampment recently and which has caused considerable dis- cussion, was denounced in a resolu- tion adopted by the Regimental As- #ociation, 3d District of Columbla Infantry, at a recent meeting. The resolution, which was for- warded to Col. J. W. Oehmann, com- manding 121st Enginers, District of Columbia National Guard, declares that the action of the postal offictals was a “flagrant act of autocratic indiscretion on the part of certain administrative officials.” 1t also declares that the post of- fice, whenever the occasion requires, ealls upon the Federal Government to furnish men of a high degree of training to act as military guards of mail trucks and mail cars, and that young men from all walks of life are needed to maintain the skele- ton Army with reserve officers de- sired by the Federal Government under the national defense act. .

Tales of Royal Visits Revived By Greeting Given British Heir Albert of Belgium, When Prince, Told Washington Belles of Engagement—Roosevelt, Prince Henry and ““Stolen’® Steins. With the brief, informal visit of the Prince of Wales now chronicled among the things which have made international social history, there are many who can begin a long account of past events with the traditional “I remember when,” dealing with other roval comings and the things which took place at the time. Everybody remembers when “Wales" came before, not yet four years ago. and all that was done to honor him in the face of the great handicap of President Wilson's illness. Also every- body can recall the brilliant events which marked the progress of Bel- £ian royalty through the Capital and the state fetes at which Vice Pre: dent and Mrs. Marshall were the hosts, with much aid from the Bain- bridge Colbys, the Breckenridge Longs and others in the exalted official set of that day. But few remain in official Wash- ington who welcomed Albert of Bel- glum on his first arrival in Washing- ton when, as the Duke of Flanders, he paused in a rapid journey from Greenland, where he had been ex- ploring, to pay homage to the Ameri- can President, William McKinle This hospitable executive gave a formal banquet for the heir of the Belgian throne, and with the inten- tion of giving his royal highness a thoroughly good time, all the pretty belles and brilliant young matrons of that time were asked to the banquet. But Albert, though enjoying himself in every sense, seized every occasion to show the fair charmers who sur- rounded him a lovely miniature of his fiancee, now Queen Elizabeth. Of course, the girls were disap- pointed, but they were thrilled at being made the confidantes of royalty, for the betrothal was known at that time only in court circles. The royal Italian Duke of the Abruzzi came to Washington first as com- mander of the flagship of the Italian fleet sent to participate in the ma- neuvers off Hampton Roads during the Jamestown Exposition in 1900 He came again, it will be remem- bered, but incognito, and the dinner and dance. at which President McKin- BOGUS PASSPORT SOURCE FOUND, GANG BROKEN UP French and American Detectives Get Group Which Made Half Million Profit.

Danish Prince and Wife Occupy Servants’ Quarters in Hotel. LONDON, August 30.—In the course of a motor tour of England Prince Viggo of Denmark and Princess Vig- g0, formerly Miss Eleanor M. Green of New York, reached Bath last night and sought rooms at the principal hotel. Not giving their names they were told there was nothing avail- able except a couple of servants’ bed- rooms. Entering into the democratic spirit of the adventure the prince and prin- cess asked to be shown the rooms, ‘which they pronounced quite nice and remained for the night. It was some time before the management of the hotel discovered the idemtity of the royal visitors. anti-American institutions for illegal and ulterior purposes of selfishness. “This incident has exemplified the doctrine that autocratic power in the hands of an indiscreet civilian em- ploye is more imperialistic and men- scing to our national progress than proper military training for mationsl dafensa.” ley was again the host. was omitted on_subsequent occasions. President Roose t was the host of the former Kaiser brother, Prince Henry of Prussia, who came in 1902 to receive the American-built yacht which Mrs. Longworth hristened Washington fairly turned inside o entertaining Prince Henry, but th most notable event was the stag din- ner which the President gave and to which many leading German brewers werc asked, amorg them the latc Adolphus Busch of St. Louis and the late Gustave Pabst of Milwaukee To honor such n aggregation of the malted drink celebrities, Presi- dent Roosevelt decided to begin the banquet by drinking the health the Kaiser and of his brother i foamy beer and in steins. But, hav- ing no steins, he borrowed them from a famous German restaurant on Pennsylvania avenue, where in the good old times dark brown Munich beer was obtainable, and also palc Bavarian. But when the Americar Chief Magistrate raised his mug, t the horror of all present, there was visible on it in big letters, “Stolen From Ernest Gerstenberg,” and so too, the stein of his highness—and in fact, all of the 50 used. This inci- dent naturally cast all formality aside, and Prince Henry had a jolly good time. That Prince of Wales who reigned as Edward VIII, grandfather of ye terday’s guest, was the first officis royal guest which this Capital ever welcomed. He came at the instance of his mother, Queen Victoria, tc visit President’ Buchanan, who been Minister to the Court of St James, and where his niece and chatelane, Harriet Lane, after Mrs Henry Elllott Johnston, had been a special favorite. That visit was epochal, and not alone was every in- cident of it carefully preserved as part of Washington's international social literature, but a fine canvas of the celebrities of the day who companied the prince to Mount Ver- non hangs in the National Museum of Art. Imperial Russian Guest. Russia sent an Imperial guest to this country in the late sixties in the person of the brother of Czar Alexander 1I, the Grand Duke Alexis, who came at the head of the fleet which swept into New York Harbor and dazzled all beholders. Russia had been a very good friend of the United States during the troubled days of the Civil War, and enthusi- asm was at its height when the czar's brother came with the ships. Balls were given this radiant im- perial admiral, and for many a vear it was the boast of each of the nu- merous belles in various ports where the fleet was entertained that her mother or aunt or some relative, if not herself, had danced with the Grand Duke Alexis. The duke and his staff came over from Baltimore and were entertained by President Grant. This warrior President entertained another imperial guest, but this just as his second administration was drawing to a close, when Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, came to this coun- try incognito to visit the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. He was a very quiet, unostentatious guest at the White House, and Is the only in- stance of a reigning emperor of any country ever setting foot on these shores. White House annals of the same period tell of another royal guest who stirred up the social waters and as- tounded the natives, from the cabinet officials who dined with him to the ushers who were about to observe his ways. This was the last King of the Sandwich Islands, King Kalakaua, brother of Queen “Lil,” who visited the President's mansion in Cleve- land's time. Thomas F. Pendel, who served every President from Lincoln to Roosevelt, has tbis to say in his books of memoirs called “Thirty-six Years in the White House,” after de- tailing many incidents of the Grant regime: “One of the most notable was when the King of the Sandwich Islands dined with Gen. Grant. He sat on the south side of the table in the state dining room, and he had three valets, one of whom might be called his cup-bearer. All three of these men stood at the king’s back all dur- ing the dinner and passed food to him. All wore what you might call regalia, but their coats looked like ladies’ bertha capes. It wasa strange sight to American eyes.” But this yoyal guest {s the only one on record who departed from the sim- ple ways which hold in this Capital, and of which yesterday’s reception to she Prince of Wales was txnicsly ed by crowd.

He peared into the President’s room at the station almost immediately, however, and reappearcd at the Plaza entrance only long enough to get into his car. The President and Mrs. Coolidge met their distinguished guest at the door of the White House and gave him a most cordial welcome. His highness was escorted to a room on the upper floor by the President him- self, it was said. A few minutes later he came down and went to luncheon with the President, Mrs Coolidge and John Coolidge, th: party being limited to the four out of deference to the wishes of both the prince and the President and Mrs. Coolidge. Immediately after luncheon the prince and the President went to the latter's study and enjoyed a smoke to- zether before members of the Cabinet and their wives began to arrive for the informal recention. Most of the mem- bers of the Cabinet attended and talked most informally to his highness.

One incident occurred on the trip that provoked a smile from those who noticed it When the prince car reached The Star Building h highness was attracted by the crow that stood in front of the scoreboard watching the progress of the base ball game in New York between the Nationals and Yankees. Interested to know what had happened, the prince arose in his car. At the same in- stant the board registered a hit for a player and the crowd The e y. Just what he thought can only be guessed, of course, but as a matter of fact it was Goose Goslin, and not Edward, Prince of Wales, which brought forth the wild applause. Secretary of State Hughes accom- panied the prince back to the station, which he entered through the Presi- dent's doorway. He went immedi- Btely to his special train and it took only a minute for final farewells to be sald before his highness stepped to the observation platform. There was a momentary but awkward pause before the train started to move and it was quite evident that $144,000 BANK SWINDLE RESULTS IN SIX ARRESTS | Official of Institution Is Declared Involved in Spurious Check Plot.
