5 L THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, 'D. C, JANUARY 6, 1929—PART 1.’ CLEVELAND BEGINS - INDUSTRIAL CHEST “Hard-Boiled Business Men” Pledge $5,000 Apiece to Community Project. BY W. J. LAUBENSTEIN. CLEVELAND, January 5—And now the Industrial Community Chest! One hundred Clevelanders, who style themselves “just hard-boiled business men who are willing to bet on the future of their home town,” have pledged $5,000 each annually for three years to help foster the fifth city's industrial growth. This fund of $1,500,000 is expected to do for the city’s industries what the $4,600,000 collected this year by the community fund does for the -un- fortunate. ’ Both funds yield a profit to the givers, but whereas the community fund donor receives his profit through the realization he has helped some one who needs aid, the subscriber to the industrial chest hopes for actual dol- lars and cents return on his invest- meat, due to increase in his own busi- ness. Numbered among those who have pledged support to the new industrial chest are many men known not only in Cleveland and Ohio, but in the Na- tion as well ‘The industrial chest is expected to end the time-honored custom of “hat- passing” every time a fund is neces- sary to push forward to completion a | civic or industrial project. Here are | some of the jobs that the group of 100 expect to do:, Employ experts in the matter of city planning, a matter especially timely in view of the fact that Cleveland is build- | ing this year a gigantic stadium on the lake front. Study the traffic problems of the city with particular reference to the stadium. Aid Chamber of Commerce develop- | ment work. | Study the regional highway plan now under way in Cleveland. Go thoroughly into the matter of taxation and valuations. Make available more money for bring- ing conventions to Cleveland. Give financial aid to the aviation de- partment of the Chamber of Commerce, 50 that Cleveland may retain her lead as a national airport. Get after the Cuyahoga River straightening problem that has bottled up industrial development along the river for years. Bring new industries into the city. “Cleveland is a payroll town,” said | Allard Smith, who announced the forma- | tion of the group. “A city can't grow just by building a lot of nice houses | in exclusive residential sections. It takes industry to build homes—the ! homes of the workmen, the kind a city needs to grow properly. This isn't a humanitarian project. “It’s a cold-blooded business proposi- tion. A bunch of us hard-headed fel- lows got together and wagered $5,000 a year that Cleveland is going to make good. That's all there is to it. We are not in it for direct profit, except that more industries and a bigger and better city to live in will mean more profits to all of us. “Cleveland has done better than most cities in welfare work and now that the money is ged it will do better than lots of other cities in better- ing itself industrially.” Each member of the group of 100, which probably will term itself the “Commercial Club of Cleveland,” agrees | to pay $500 a year dues forthwith. ‘This makes up the $50,000 for which the club will be incorporated. Each member further obligates himself to pay into the club at such times as may (ARMY WILL STAGE | A. H. Reffell, British engineer.

Pedestrian Has Right of Way, Car Driver Learns Judge Fines Autoist $§5! for Running Down Man at Crosswalks. “A pedestrian has the right of way at crosswalks and there is no reason why he should take any ‘quick steps’ to get out of the way of an automobile,” Judge John P McMahon ruled yes- terday in fining Glenard D. Miller $85 for running down a pedestrian at ‘Twelfth street and Pennsylvania avenue last September. Miller, who was charged with failing to give the right of way after running down the pedestrian, told the court “if he had taken one or two quick steps he would not have been hit.” Judge McMahon replied there was no reason why a pedestrian should take any quick steps inasmuch as he has the right of way over automobiles at crosswalks. “Furthermore,” he continued. “some automobile drivers seem to have a mental complex which makes them try to blame a pedestrian proceeding legally across the street for not jumping out of their way.” Reserve Officer Resigns.

VIENNA, January 5.—Former kings, queens, grand dukes, grand duchesses, princes and princesses, representing | nine countries, with an aggregate popu- |lation of 350,000,000 people, now the crownless and countryless, forced by the World War from their thrones, many of them are now eking out a pre- carfous living at menial callings in scattered parts of Europe. Only one or two of them, like former Kalser Wilhelm of Germany, Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria (“the Fox” his royal friends call him), and Sultan Ahmed, former Shah of Persia, were able to salvage enough from their scat- tered fortunes to live in comfort and leisure. The others live largely on the bounty of relatives and friends. 300 Fell With Kaiser. | / When Kaiser Wilhelm lost the World '}Wnr and his throne he dragged down {to ruin not less than 300 royal or titled | persons in his own and other coun- tries. Most of them spend their days in idle retrospection and sorrow. The most tragic feature of their lives per- haps is that Fate, in exalting them to { rulership, failled to provide them with {even a means of making a living when |days of adversity came upon them. Members of the once mighty Haps- burg dynasty of Austro-Hungary are the chief sufferers. About 75 of them are now sharing the lot of the ordinary citizen in various parts of Europe. Most notable of the group is former Empress Zita. With her eight children the widow of the late Emperor Karl fis living in the little fishing village of Lequeitio, Spain, supported largely by the charity of Hungarian monarchists and of King Alfonso of Spain, who is related to the Hapsburgs. She is hard pressed, reports from Lequeitio say, to keep herself and her large family in clothing, shoes and food. Her chief comfort is the thought that some day her 16-year-old son, Archduke Otto, may become King of Hungary. Russians Live in France. When Czar Nicholas of Russia and his family were killed by the bolsheviks every Russian of royal lineage fled the country in order to escape & similar fate. Most of these fugitives now live in slender circumstances in France, | where the cost of living is lower than | in most other countries of Europe. The French government has always shown | a sympathetic attitude toward political | and royal exiles, Chief among the imperial emigres of Russia are Grand Duke Cyril Viad- imirovitch, brother-in-law of Queen Marie of Rumania, who proclaimed himself “Emperor of all the Russians” in 1924; Grand Duke Nicholas Nicho- laievitch, former commander-in-chief of the Russian armies, now seriously ill, | who recently relinquished his leader- ship of the so-called “anti-bolshevist army” in Paris. Once worth millions in gold, jewels and land, most of the Russian royal exiles now are dependent on their own efforts or on charity. Some of them are working at the most menial trades, When the Kaiser's throne crashed more than a score of lesser German dynasties lost their crowns. Unlike their less fortunate Russian brethren, | however, they at least have a country. Under a plebiscite held by the Ger- man government they are permitted to live in Germany, and most of them have been allowed to retain their prop- erty. Among them are the seven sons | and daughters of the former Emperor. Many members of the house of Haps- burg of Austria continue to live in Austria, but all their property has been confiscate they are permitted A Follow-up to Our Previous Advertisement “In the Interest of Economy” What Would You 7 Do? 7 As previously announced our Southeast Store closed on December 31st. ...

All are in reduced cir cumstances. In order to eke out an existence, several of them have taken most humble positions that barely keep them in food and clothing. The dukes, archdukes, princes and | princesses of Hungary have been al- lowed to remain in tha. country and | keep their property, from which they | derive sufficient income to live de- cently. Their leader is Archduke of Hungary. Among the most recent additions to the ever-growing company of throne- less Kings is former King George of Greece, who, like his exiled mother, Queen Sophie, widow of the late King Constantine of Greece, is living in ex- ile in Rumania. King George's wife, the eldest daughter of Queen Marie of | Rumania, was left nearly half a million dollars by her father, the late King Ferdinand, so that neither George nor she need worry about keeping the wolf from the door. George never has abandoned hope that the Greek people will one day recall him to the throne. Turkish Princes Exiled. Perhaps the most pathetic figures | in Europe's large company of home- | less, jobless rulers are the former princes and princesses of Turkey, in- cluding _the Sultan-Caliph, . Abdul Mejid Efendi. All the money, property and jewels were confiscated by the Kemalist government, and they cannot return to their country with- out facing death or imprisonment. They are practically penniless. Some of them live in ever-hospitable France, while others are domiciled in Egypt, Syria, Hungary and other countries. Another unenviable figure among the royal outcasts is former Queen Amelia of Portugal, who, two years after the assassination of her husband, in 1910, was forced to flee from Portu- gal with her son, King Manuel, on the fateful day when Portugal was proclaimed a republic. Amelia and her small farally are now living modestly and obscurely in Versailles, ancient home of crowned and uncrowned soverelgns. Some of Europe’s dispossessed sover- eigns have readily accepted their fate |as exiles and have abandoned all hope | of ever regaining their thrones. Others, | however, in spite of the present trend | toward establishment of democracies and republics, cling tenaciously to the 1 | In the taught is There Albrecht, who may be the next King | belief that some day they will don their regal robes and wear their glittering crowns. Among the one-time royal personages who beguile themselves into believing they will regain their thrones are Prince Danilo and Prince Michael, pretenders to the throne of Montenegro, which now is amalgamated with the Balkan kingdom of Jugoslavia. Addressed al- ways by their admirers as “your royal highness,” they conduct their “court” and have their “thrones” in the pleas- ant atmosphere of San Remo, on the Mediterranean, free from intrigue, po- litical excitement and the fear of as- sassination. g ‘With the exception of former Kaiser Wilhelm, who is living at Doorn, Hol- land, in comparative luxury, ex-Crown Prince Carol of Rumania probably has the easiest life. Renouncing rulership over 16,000,000 people, he ran off to Paris with the daughter of a wealthy Jewish merchant in Bucharest named Lupescu. The crown prince is having a ood time in Paris on the half million dollars left him by his late father, who, while dispossessing the wayward son of all property in Rumania, left him a fortune in money so that he might com- plete the days of his merry life in Paris |as a royal gentleman. 1$7,130,000 PORTO RICO RELIEF FUND IS URGED Immediate Appropriation of Money Recommended to Congress by Commission. The Porto Rican Hurricane Relief Commissiolt, consisting of the Secre- taries of War, Treasury and Agricultural D:partments, has recommended to Con- gress the immediate appropriation of | $7,130,000 for the relief of the inhabit- ants of Porto Rico.
