NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—“Admiral Prince Louis of Battenberg to Wilbur Dooley, D. D. 8, Dr., for fllling four bicuspids and molars (eleven hours), $1000."" ‘The tooth surgeon who has been work- ing on the Admiral Prince's teeth at odd hours for the past few days went up to the Hotel Netherlands early this morn- ing with a document which read some- thing like the foregoing. He sent it up to the Admiral's apartment. Pretty soon a young and very flushed British' officer appeared in the office where the dentist was waiting. “The admiral is astounded at the amount of your bill.”” he told Dooley. “He refuses to pay it. It is exorbitant.” “And who do you happen to be?” de- manded the dentist. “I am Lieutenant Sowerby, the ad- miral's flag officer, and am commisSioned by him to say thdt he simply will not pay you $100. He authorizes me to say that he will give you $200. though even that is excessive.” “I decline to treat with subordinates,” was the dentist’s haughty reply. “It was the Prince's teeth I filled and I demand to see the Prince.” There had@ been no settlement up to the time the British squadron passed through the narrows with the admiral on the bridge of the Drake. Sir Percy Sanderson, H. B. M., Consul General in New York, was instructed to effect a settlement. About 2¢0 sailors from the British squad- ren were ‘miseing from their ships when the squadron made ready to sail to-day. Several of those wko qverstayed their leave were turned a trled to board their ships this morning. As it was within a few hours of the fleet’s sailing time when they made their belated appearance the officers treated them as deserters, refusing to let them step aboard. The officers said they were willing to lose these men, on the principle that they are worthless and their less is a good riddance. : Many of the rejected sailors wept. Their \uniforms in some cases had been taken from them in Bowery resorts and they had spent all their money before returning to their ships. {WOODMEN OF WORLD RECEIVE THEIR CHIEF Warm Weleome Given to Head Consul Boak at Garden City. - Epecial Duv.:fl_lw The Call.
