‘ WANT CHEAP EATS? LETS TO EUROPE PRES LOM THERE Course Dinner in Paris, With Pint of Bubbles, Cost a Measly $2.84, BREAKFAST AT 18 CENTS, Cheaper in Berlin, but in New York—Help!—Dinner for Two $9.15—No Wine! Reports of high prices charged for food in London, Paris, Berlin and other European capitals were com- pletely discounted to-day by the dis- Play of scores of receipted restaurant checks and hotel bills shown to The Evening World by Saunders Norvell, Chirman of the board of the chemi- eal corporation of McKesson & Rob- bins, who has just returned from a visit of several months abroad. Edi- bles imported from the United States cost fess in the restaurants of London and Paris than they do in New York. A striking display was a comparison between a receipted bill for a course dinner, with a pint of vintage cham- pagne, in Paris, which called for a total of $2.84, American money, and a bill for a dinner of meat, vegetables and coffee In a New York hotel which cost $9.15, without champagne or other wine. “What would you pay for a first class meal in Paris’ asked ‘The Hw ning World representative. “Well,” aaid Mr. Norvell, “with the exchange at 6 cents a franc, | obtained a very nice room and bath on the Boulevard Raspall for fifty francs, or $3 a day. For breakfast one pays three francs, or 18 cents, for lunch, 13 francs, or 78 cents, and for dinner 17 francs, or about $1, And for a good brand of champugne of the 1904 or 1906 vintage, one pays $1.80 of American money" Here the reporter broke down, think- ing of what a hoist of the bubbler would cost to-day in Sonn*ag’s—even f he could get it. “and in Berlin?” he gasped. “I stayed in Berlin at the Hotel “wistol, one of the famous hotels, ere I paid for my room 75 marks, “hat sounds like a good deal, but when you realize that the marks are worth only 144 cents each, you will realize that $1.12 is not exorbitant. Berlin was cheaper than Paris. I hand you a receipt for a little dinner for two which I had in Heller's fa- mous restaurant in the Unter den Linden. It was most excellent—pate de fois gras, fish, pheasants, dessert, cakes—all for $7." “And wine, too?” “Yes, a very excellent Rhenish wine was included. “Weil,” said the doubting Evening World man, “how much do you con- sider you would have to pay for a similar treat in New York at one of the smart uptown restaurants? “Oh, I can give you a very good answer to that question. The other evening I teok dinner with a friend of mine at the Astor, A very simple little dinner. We had nothing but a filet mignon with mushrooms, and coffee. The bill came to $9.15, The two orders of filet mignon came to $6.30. I thought perhaps the waiter had made a mistake. But, no; $2.50 for each order of filet and 65 cents for each order of mushrooms. I gave Yhe waiter $10 and asked him for aj receipt, In a few moments he came back and said lt was impossible, 1 called the head walter. He told me ‘the hotel did not receipt bills for the restaurant, I demanded a receipt, telling him that I was interested in comparing the prices in America with those in Europe, ‘He called another official, a sort of major-domo. Finally rand of the manager was summoned. The manager told me it was really im- possible, He even offered to give me the meal free. “I replied that I was not an object of charity, but I wanted a receipt for | the bill, He finally complied, and the bill_was receipted.” “Do you mind if I publish this?” ‘asked the reporter, who knew, but didn’t know Europe. “Not at all. I still have the re- ceipted bill. The funny part of it is that after they had given me the receipt, the head waiter tore off his name from the bottom of the bill, which he had signed, What do you think of that?” “Yes, it makes one feel like a miser to get back to America, after living like a prince on the other side with the same amount of money. All you do in America is handle money, As eoon as you make it, tt passes through your hands to some one else.” Mr. Norvell said that an acquaint. ance of his had rented a cook and butler along with an apartment. The wages of the two was only $35 a month, He said that when he was in Paris he hired a taxi for the after- noon and drove out to Versailles and back. He kept the motor five hours and paid the chauffeur only $12. In Seville, he said, one could hire a car- riage and pair for a dollar a day. He said that the greatest contrasis were to be seen in London and Ber- lin, In Berlin the crowds on the streets were dirty and unkempt, One} seldom saw a white shirt, Linen was expensive, and it was hard to get hot water to do the washing on account of coal shortage. What impressed him most in Berlin was the poverty- stricken cripples in old uniforms, who lay on blankets or comforters at the corners of streets. ‘On the other hand, the immorality and vice was ten times worse than it had ever been before. In London there were also great contrasts. The only persons who took the trouble to be polite were the taxi drivers. ‘The clerks, shopkeepers and working class generally had an air of indifference and sullenness, amount- ing at times to impudence. Perhaps the most interesting expe- rience which Mr, Norvell had, he said, wasn his drive along (he famous Hin- denburg line. He said that before he went over there he was convinced that the moving ictures and magazine» had picked ut the worst scenes to depict. But when he got on the scene ‘he came to the conclusion that there was no worst or best. Everywhere he went was a desert, of which one of the few casis was the lovely grass- grown graveyard of Romagne, where 2,300 American soldiers lie buried with zi THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, Four Beauties Chosen by Miss Bell as Models He MISSES KIN SONK THE ‘Ss PU PHOTS BY Jom. en For Fashion Revue/in Aid of Wounded Soldiers LCRON Soldier Would Have Sold Silver Plates in Wounds Were They Not Sewed Up His Compensation So Reduced} He Has Pawned Watch and Medal to Keep Tattered Clothing on His Battered Body, and He Is Only One of Many Whom Service Home Will Save.

John v. Hettric! William Chapman and William J, Doran on indictments The defense of Herbert Smith, charging conspiracy based on "code of practic operations, revealed be- fore the Lockwood Committee, began to-day before Supreme Court Justice MeAvoy Attorneys for the defendants de- nied the testimony of witnesses for the prosecution that the indicted men conspired to force contracts into the “code” by strike threats, They also denied the conspiracy to fix prio and eliminate competition by con- trolling bids and changing estimates. The “code” was really a benefit to the plumbing trade, it was argued. Nathan Cohen, counsel for Doran, President of the Journeymen Plumb- ers’ Union, denied his client's visits tu the master plumbers was the result of 4 conspiracy with Hettrick, who charged with operating the “code” from his office, No. 165 Broadway Doran's interest, Cohen said was (o learn if all master plumbers might join the code, or if it was ap exclusive organization, He saw no bids made by master plumbers and knew nothing about bids being changed, Mr, Cohen said William J. Fallon, counsel for Chap- mun, a union delegate, said Chap- man’s Interest was the same as Dor- |an's and was aroused by instructions from the union organization. Neither Chapman nor Doran threatened that contractors who refused to join would be deprived of workmen, Robert H, Elder, counse! for Het- trick, said most of the master plumbers in New York were not edn- cated men, and it was n to sary take some step to protect the trade generally against mistakes in esti- mates, The purpose was to bring about a system of bidding similar that insisted upon by the Government in_public works contracts William J, Doran took the witness stand in his own dofense. He test! fied that he first met Hettrick in September, 1919, when he was ' to ‘his office with other members of a committee at Héttriok’s request Hettrick, he said, talked with him about the bad conditions affecting workmen in the plumbing business “ac tice” would e the evils 4m out avowedly to raise money for a service house, why I bother with strawberry party for bedridden sel- diers.

Louia K. @chwarts, real estate oper- ator and owner of several apartment houses and office buildings, terminat- ed the romance with his former nurse, Gladys & Whyte, which began while he was recovering from an operation two Years ago, by a petition to-day to Supreme Court Justice Brianger to restore to him $9,000 worth of tur- niture, including @ baby grand plano and also to enjoin the nurse from sub- leasing his apartment, Justice Br- lamget took papers in the case and reserved decision. Mr, Schwartz reviews in his com- plaint what led up to the necessity for asking relief from the court. Miss Whyte cared for him, he says, during his convalescence after an operation in 1919, She was companionable and chatty, and, he relates, told him about living dn small hotels and furnished rooms with her mother, and of the unsatisfactory routine of restaurant meals, There was talk of the little touches that differentiate “home life” from life in hosteiries, and a compart- son of notes; for Schwartz had also been a “victim’ of hotel life. Vinally, Schwartz deposes, his nurse threw out the suggestion the comforts of home were within their reach, if he would obtain an apartment large | enough to house himself, her and her| mother. Schwartz, according to his affidavit Jeased an apartment in the Calvin Apartment Hotel, at Broadway and 80th Street, for six years frum Jan. 1, 1920, at $125 a month, The lease was the name of Mrs, Edith Whyte, mother of the nurse, and there was an understanding it would be trans- ferred to him, Schwartz claims, should the household break up. Schwartz relates he spent $1,000 to put the uy home into apple-pie or- der, and (hen“proceeded to furnish it at a cost of $9,000 more, He al- lowed the mother and daughter $60 a week for table and maid service. Everything went well and the com- forts of home life were enjoyed by all until the mother left in November, A month later, Schwartz relates, he and the nurse had had some arguments which resulted in an agreement by which she was to transfer the ‘lease to him and leave the apurtmen’ by the beginning of this year. “The urse hus not left the apartment, and efuses to leave, according to Schwartz, und more, she now states ghe Will remain and sublet it at a good rental, She further, he com- plains, threatens to dispose of his fur- niture, including his buby grand piano Schwartz estimates the present ren- tal value of the apartment at $350 a month. He asks the Court to adjudge him the lawful owner of the fur- nishings of the apartment and of the yuluable lease. He asks Miss Whyte and the Comara Realty Company b enjoined from subleasing the apur ment and from removing b's furn ture. FIRE ENGINE GOT STALLED.

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—Attorney Elian Mayer has admitted that the “Frank Miller" arrested in New York on @ charge of trying to pass a part of $10,000 worth of stolan money orders at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, is Bis lerton Parkway, Chicago, President of Albert Schwill & Co, manufac- turers of malt, and a millionaire. The lawyer said Schwill is the victim of a mistake. ‘ Schwill, who is a member of the Harvard and other Chicago clubs, lett Chicago Feb. 9 with Mrs. Schwill. They had passports for Burope, They stopped at the home of her mother, Mra. Jessie Schallkop, at No, 1 West 70th Street, New York. Fri- day night Schwill gave a dinner party j at the Rits, and, it is alleged, tender- ed seven American Express, money orders totalling $850 in payment. It is claimed they were part of $10,000 worth stolen by burglars Feb. 4 from the offices of the International Electric Company, No, 120 Broadway, New York. When “Miller” was arraigned in court it was stated he was a member of a prominent family. He denied knowing the checks were stolen, declared he had bought them in good faith and was released on bail for a hearing Wednesday, It appears he called his Chicago lawyer to New York, and on his re- turn here Mr. Mayer told the story. “Mr. Schwill received the express company checks in a business trans- action before he left for New York to sail for Europe,” sald Attorney Mayer. “He bad no idea they were stolen and -|eannot be held liable. He was ar- rested because he was not known at the Ritz-Carlton. Mr. Schwill is the victim of a mistake.” The police of this city said to-day that “Miller,” at the time of his arrest said he was a broker living at No. 12 West 89th Street. Two American Ex- press money orders were found in his pocket. He admitted cashing orders -| at the Biltmore and Pennsylvania Ho- tels and explained that he had bought them from the express company in ‘| Chicago. This, however, the officials of the company in this city denied. An official of a private detective agency in New York says that “Miller” admitted to him that bis” name was Schwill and that he was « member of the firm of Albert Schwill |& Co. of No, 309 South La Salle Street, Chicago. to-day at No, 1 Inquiry made West 70th Street, the home of the mother of Sobwill’s wife, resulted in |the announcement that Schwill is at | present in Atlantic City.
