The police expect that, when all informa- tion concerning tho prisoner is as- #embled and sifted, they will he able to prove a charge of bigamy, and to that end have advised the New York and Boston police of their capture. Posed as Member of Royaty Schwarm {s sald to have tricked the police in two of the hest organized de- partments in the east, New York and Boston, He has played with ladies' hearts, dallying in the moonlight while orchestras played %oft strains from the pen of Strauss and passing himself off as a distingulshed momber of varlous European royal families, He had the sang- froid of the blase Furopean and crepted the necessary atmosphere around his counterfeit characters by speaking vaguely of his #cquaintance with crowned heads and of his Intimacy with familics of the toyal blood. A bamboo cane, a Rus- slan wolfhound, uniforms almost hid den in gold lace, the inevitable cigar- elte dangling languidly from a corner of his mouth—all these were part of his make-up, At one time he was a French prince who aspired to regain the throne in e —— MOTHER GRAY'S POWDERS BENEFIT MANY CHILDREN Thousands of mothers have found Mother Gray's Sweet Powders an ex- cellent remedy for children com- plaining of Headaches, Colds, Fever- ishness, Stomach Troubles and other irregularities from which suffer these days and excellent results arc_accomplished by its use.

Fooled The Judge It was while he was representing himself as a prince that he was first brought to the attention of the police, He had an apartment on West 96th street from which he issued daily, his wolfhound at, his side, in a dazzling Russian uniform which made even Now Yorkers turn their head. He en- tertalned lavishly at his apartment and it was while he was giving a *it tle party” to some of his friends that he came near having his career ended, As the clock flitted past midnight, the sound of revelry disturbed the neigh- Lors. A big Irish cop on the beat didn't like the idea of such goings-on and decided to investigate. When the “Prince” opened the door and saw the American gendarme standing there, his royal blood almost leaped out of The policeman cxplained that the noise would have to stop. The “Prince” became enraged, He drew his flashing sword, called upon the world to witness that he had been insulted, and tried to run the blade through the man in blue, The result was that he appeared in court next morning on a charge of dsorderly conduct, ‘'But his foreign air and in- dignation carried him through Magistrate Simpson dismissed him, denounced the policeman and declar-; i foolishness that we must have ed that the whole affair was “out- rageous.'

Scharm transferred the scenes of his amours to Boston, captivated the heart of Miss Katherine Frances Lynn of Marcella stdeet, Roxbury, a cashier in a Boston store, and married her on Christmas eve, 1018, She believed his story that he was Dr. Harold A. Van Buren, a Russian physician of note. Her credulity vanished a short time later when, she clalmed, he eloped with a nurse named Anne Peterson whose home was in Taunton, leaving his wife to face the future with a child that was still to be born. While posing as Dr. Van Buren, Scharm went to thé hospital at Fore River, in the town of Quincy, and ap- plied for a place on the staff. He told the authorities there that hé had been serving with the Red Cross overseas. To lend conviction to his story, he ap- peared in clothes befitting the calling, a Prince Albert coat and tall siik hat, and carried a.kitbag ‘on which the Red Cross was stamped. It was soon discovered that he was not a physi- clan, and be was given work as a clerk, but even in this he did not prove adept. Although in a minor position, he was always addressed as “Dr. Van Buren.” It is said that he reported for duty one night garbed in evening clothes, wearing a monocle and spats and carrying a cane. New Britain Police Interested The New Britain police became in- terested in his case when they learned that he had been married here to Miss Villkomerson, aged 23, and had given his name as Van de Vere. For several months, Chief of Detectives McCue has been seeking him. Several times the trail has been warm, but it waa not until yesterday that Schwarm fell into the dragnet which had been set for him. Schwarm and his wife, both of whom have been working in the Beth Israel hospital in Newark, N. J., left that city Saturday afternoon in a mo- torcycle to which a side car was at- Early yesterd: ELKS JOININ WAR AGAINST DRUG EVIL| morning they | st It threw the transparent of your skin into high relief.

The. information that he had | gone to the Stanley street address was conveyed to Chief Hart and the arrest followed. Schwarm was taken to police head- quarters dressed in kickerbockers and fur-lined overcoat. He has a closely- cut mustache and an incipient imper- ial. He was accompanied by his wife, also dressed in knickers, who remain- ed at headquarters, although no charge was preferred against her, in order to be near him. Both received visits from relatives. The arrest reflects credit on the system of the New Britain police. Al- though Schwarm was sought by de- tectives in other cities, he managed to elude capture until he came into the Jurisdiction of the New Britain police department, Chief Hart and Chief of Detectives McCue have received many compliments as a result of their quick and effective work.
