FRANCE OFFERS Egyptian Prince Sails for Home With Faithful “Blink,” Saying American ( Girls Beat the World Spent $60,000 in Three Months Here, but Has Plenty Left — Riffles $20,000 in Bills to Prove It. Mohammed Ali brahim, @ nephew of the newly created King of Exypt, roundabout way for home and Cairo Prince started this afternoon on his on the steamship Olympic after three months in this country, during which he spent $60,000 and discovered the American woman to be the most beau tiful and charming in all the world. With him went his faithful boxing- guide, philospher and friend, Blink McCloskey, late of Philadelphia and mow of Cairo, Although the Prince has spent a small fortune in amusin himself (and Blink) in America, Blink assured an Evening World reporter at the Biltmore, just before steamer time, that “there was still plenty left,"" and in prgof of it drew a pack- age of $20,000 in bills from an inside pocket: and riffied it It is with great regret that Prince Mohammed left these shores, he said But he promised to come k in July to remain «ix months, most of which . he would spend (at the * Blink put his hand to the package in his inside pocket) in this city. sich “I like New York,” he went on, “and I must come k here soon The American women are the pretti- est in the world. I saw them by scores at Hollywood and Los Angeles, nd I spent a long time the t Bebe Daniels, Mae Murray, Normand and a lot of others beautiful and delightful women But, as a rule, the screen beauties are more beautiful on t screen than away from it “Tam going home at the request of my uncle, the King, who wants his family around him, But on the way I all stop in Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Trieste, Rome a ples before tak- ing steamer for Cairo.” At the Biltmore to say goodby to the young Egyptian was Miss Mabel Withee, an actre: who has been en- tertained by the Prince several time since he arrived in this city three days ago. Blink McCloskey, who was busy as a bird dog to-day getting the Prince, his sporty automobile and his trunks aboard the Olympic, sald that he asked only one last favor of the American press; that it would state positively he did not wear false teeth. They could say anything else about him, he declared, but not that. Blink confided that he had com- plete charge of all the Prince's funds. ‘ou see, it’s like this," he explained, His Highness draws whatever money he thinks he'll need and turns it over to me, just the way he did with this $20,000. Then I'm the guy what pays all the bills, see? If he wants any money he asks for it, and I give i: to nim, just like that."’ Here Blink mado a generous gesture from his pocket. “We've had a nice and instructive time, all in all. It was very nice out in Hollywood and Los Angeles. There was only one celebrity we didn't set; that was Charlie Chaplin. Charlie wouldn't come to see the Prince, He said if the Prince wanted to see him ne could call. The Prince wouldn't do it, so that was that. “By the way, this Prince is cer- tainly a demon motbr driver. He took that low-lying bus of his one day and drove from San Francisco to Los Angeles, about 450 miles, in Prince MOHAMMED AL! \BRAHIM ENN. R. R.

The board then prepared to issue a decree of censure, and the Pennsylvania obtained the in- junction to test the board's powers, The shop crafts who charged that he employees’ representatives who onferred with the over pro- posed wage reductions were selected by the road itself and not by the em- ployees.

DRIVER IS QUESTIONED. Piazza Sticks to Story of Holdup by Four Men With Revolvers. | The city and Federal Governments are hunting for 1,600 pounds of opium which was stolen from a truck owned by McKesson & Robbins, wholesale druggists of Brooklyn, and which, tt is claimed, when chemically treated would be worth in the retail market $600,000 or $700,000. Charles Piazza, driver of the truck, has been questioned by the police again and again and has stuck to his story, varying it only in a few minor details. He said that he was held up. at Broadway and Bedford Aveniie, Brooklyn, at 2.20 o'clock yesterday afternoon by four men in an aute- mobile. He said that he was forced at the point of revolvers to leave his seat and enter the other machine, one of the four driving his truck as far Elmhurst, where was thrown out of the car. Later he said that his truck was in the vicinity of Morgan Street, Man- hattan, at 2°15 o'clock, The truck, its contents gone, was found at 10.30 o'clock last night in front of No. 500 East 75th Street, Manhattan. He gave descriptions of the four men who held him up and drove off with the truck. One, he said, was a German, twenty- seven years old, 5 feet 9 inches in height, weighing 160 pounds, smooth face and brown hatr, wearing a blue serge suit and a gray cap. The second was an American twenty-five, 5 feet, 7 inches, weighing 5 pounds, smooth face, pale and wearing gray sult and dark cap. Another was an Italian-American of thirty-two, 5 feet, 10 inches, 150 pounds, dark brown suit with stripes, green overcoat and brown fedora hat. as he The last was an Irish-American, twenty-nine, 5 feet, 7 inches, 140 pounds, smooth face and ruddy com plexion, wearing a suit of green mixed goods and a light fedora hat. Capt. Carey, head of the Detec- tive Bureau in Brooklyn, said that three policemen who were in the neighborhood of the alleged holdup neither saw nor heard anything, and two firemen have been found who were at the scene at the named time but saw nothing out of the way. Piazza is not under arrest, but the police confess that they are not en- tirely satisfied with his story. J.ouls E. Groff of the drug firm to Which the crude opium was consigned said that in its raw state it was worth $6 a pound, but when chemically treated It would be worth not less than $6 an ounce. When it came to be peddied to drug addicts the returns from the 1,600 pounds would be in the neighborhood of $700,000, Dr. Simon, Deputy Police Commissioner in chargé of the Narcotic Squad, agreed with him, BANKRUPT F IRM OWES $36,996,820; ASSETS $57,842,896 $40,000,000 of Assets is Capital Stock of Distilling Co of America.
