Prince Cyrill of Bulgaria, brother of King Boris and heir-apparent to the Bulgarian throne, who has been in ‘Washington since Monday, was to leave this afternoon for New York, whence he will sail for Europe after a three- month stay in America. Prince Cyrill called at the White House to pay his respects to President Hoover yesterday and later in the day called on Judge John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross. ‘The prince explained that his call to Judge Payne was an expression of grati- tude on his part and that of King Boris for relief work done by the Red Cross in his country. He explained that Judge Payne and King Boris were personal friends and that during a recent trip to Bulgaria Judge Payne fell ill and ‘was taken to the royal palace by the King and kept there until he recov- ered. . ‘The prince said his main interests in this country were motoring and aviation and that he had spent most of his time on the trip at Detroit examined American methods of manu- facturing automobiles, The prince did not know a word of English when he set foot in America and is very proud of his ability to speak it. He now has a large vocabulary and speaks the language easily with a strong accent. He said that he was fond of America and would come back “as soon as I can get away again.” SPURIOUS U. S.

GENEVA, April 10—The rush of American tourists to Europe supplied with American money has prompted criminals to pass larger quantities of spurious American banknotes, it was Teported yesterday at the international conference for the suppression of coun- terfeiting. Guillermo de Blanck, Cuban delegate, told the conference that one of the chief duties of the Cuban police is to prevent circulation of counterfeit American notes. He announced that Cuba, which is a paper currency coun- try, would establish a national office to concentrate on the question of coun- terfeiting. This office would closely col- laborate with similar bureaus in other countries, which would be created by the proposed convention. Hugh R. Wilson, American Minister at Bern, emphaszied American interest in the convention and urged that the insertion of too many administrative details be avoided. The delegates were generally in favor of the same punish- ment for counterfeiting foreign money &s for counterfeiting national notes.

Y., April 10.—Frank T. Arnold, South Carolina farmer and former prohibition agent, yesterday furnished the thrills in the case of the Illinois Alcohol Co,, on trial in Federal Court charged with conspiracy. Arnold testiffied that when Malj. Eugene Roberts, former prohibition di- rector, sent him to the Illinols Alcohol Co.'s Buffalo plant, Charles Birney, re- puted head of the concern, offered him & bribe of $10 for each drum of pure grain alcohol he permitted to be di- verted from the plant, ‘The $10 rate applied to New York City agents only, Arnold said, and he was placed in this class by Birney. The rate for Buffalo prohibition agents detailed to the plant was only $5 a drum, Ar- nold testified. Arnold said he demanded $10,000 as a flat rate for allowing alcohol to be diverted. Birney, according to Arnold, would not pay that amount and finally agreed to pay whatever he considered Arnold worth. Of course, Arnold was only fooling, so he testified, and report- ed each night to Maj. Roberts of the alleged shady doings at the plant. ‘The Southerner said Birney called him into his office January 25, 1926, and told him he knew that he (Arnold) “was all right or Mike would not have sent him down.” Michael Stapleton, as- sistant prohibition administrator at the time, is one of the 28 defendants in the case now being tried before Federal | Judge Simon L.

One of the finest song writers that America has produced, a composer of works the wide use of which shows al- reudy that they will live long after him, a man whose name is entitled to rank with that of the great Southern writer of songs—Stephen Collins Foster —was honored by a.program of his works being given at the Fourth Pres- byterian Church last night. This man was John Prindle Scott. In spite of the inclement weather at the hour the program was to begin, a large audience, including a . generous representation of musicians t in the Natonal Capital, attended and showed ' discriminating appreciation of the efforts of those participating. Two of Washington’s most popular choral groups, several instrumentalists and singers, as soloists, all popular in local - programs, offered their services for this occasion in honor of Mr. Scott. Speclal credit is due Mrs. Chester Adair, organist of the Fourth Presby- terian Church, who organized the event, worked out the program and played both organ and piano accompaniments during the evening. ‘The compositions presented gave gen- erous examples of Mr. Scott’s best known sacred works as well as some of the delightful lighter caliber songs for concert use. Mr. Scott himself, in a few brief remarks made when urged to the platform by Mr. Braithwaite—mas- ter of ceremonies—paid a graclous trib- ute to the late Mrs. Wayne B. Wheeler, who had been his guide in introducing him to Washington music circles two years ago. Mr, Scott suggested that he made this appearance on the eve of his permanent retirement to private life. His friends, however, trust that this “farewell” will be of the Patti variety, which requires many encores, A basket of flowers was presented to Mr. Scott. A soloist comparatively new to Wash- ington audiences, Helen Turley, con- tralto, proved one of the most gifted and finished artists of the evening. She handles a beautiful voice of most Schumann-Heink timbre, with in- telligent authority and shows poise as well as detailed preparation in her ¥ 10, 19%9. work, The ensemble, “Nocturne,” in which youthful, talented Louis Pot- linist, on her lovely-toned new violin, with Mrs, Turley full-voicing it even more completely at last. while Mrs. Adalr played the balencing piano part, is a distinctive, beautiful work. It was charmingly done, and won spontaneous applause, : ‘The audience approved the excel- lent singing of two light songs, “Romeo In Georgia” and “Old .Bill Bluff” by Herman = Fakler. This young bari- tone not only has a beautiful natural voice, admirably produced and with ex- cellent tone placement, but his artistry has steadily grown until his singing last night was worthy of the finest artist on the concert stage today. He easily | made both these songs his own. Long established soloists, frequently heard on programs, who gave other solo numbers last night, were Dorothy Sher- men Pierson, soprano; Newton Hammer, tenor, and Mabel Linton Williams, pian- ist. Mary Apple and Willlam Shanahan showed fine co-ordination of tonal blend and style in their singing of the duet, “The Shadows of the Evening Hours.” The Vermont Avenue Christian Church choir, William Braithwaite, director, and the Chaminade Glee Club, Esther Linkins, director, won much applause for their good choral work and appeared to special advantage when singing jointly in the finale, “The Old Road, one of Mr. Scotl’s own favorites—a charming, lilting number with rich melody and individuality. It was inter- esting to learn fiom Mr. Scott that this song was dedicated to the memory of two great Danes who were his constant companions for many years in tramp- ing that “old road.” H Washingtonians Licensed to Wed.
