Meteoric Career of
I
German Propagandists
(By Associated Press)
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica. Jan. 22.—
I
In keeping with his financial opera
i
tions as a German propagandist, which
resulted in his arrest in France and,
an international scandal growing out
of his attempts to purchase or cor
rupt French newspapers in (he inter-j
est of Germany, Bolo Pasha enjoyed
a meteoric career in Costa Rica.
Having received a considerable
I
commercial reputation based largely|
on credit obtained from Costa Rica
I
business men, Bolo became the ap^
parent owner of a beautiful farm and
I
handsome residence in the suburbs of
Cartago. There be entertained on a
lavish scale until he became enarn-j
ored of a French actress, lavished
I
' presents upon her, and finally fled
j
with her, leaving his creditors to seize
his princely estate, only to discover
that it had not been paid for.
Bolo is said to have abandoned the
actress in Colon, Panama, leaving her^
to mourn the loss of money and jew
! els. . *,. * * j
Paul Bolo. as he was known here,^
[ came to Costa Rica posing as a trav-^
! eling salesman for important and well
established manufacturing and coni-!
mercial firms in France. He was al-j
ways seen well dressed, spoke several ^
languages, had a most interesting con-i
versation and good manners, was a'
gambler, and quite fond of paying at
tention to women. He soon made nu
merous friends, and being a plunger,
j and hustler, soon obtained credit and
1
I launched into business. He became
the owner of commissaries and stores,
at different places, which he stocked
full of goods purchased on credit from
11 wholesale houses in this city. His
’ I business places soon boomed as the
result of his loquacity and facility to|
| make friends, and once he had estab
lished a good trade for them he sold(
one by one at a good profit. In thefe^
transactions he formed the basis, fit,
his capital, as it is a well-known fact
j that w’hen Bolo came to Costa Rica
| he did not have a farthing to his
j name.
In the purchase and sale of these
business places he made several thou
. sand dollars, but the climate of the
f Atlantic zone did not agree with him,
and he was often troubled with fever
and malaria. Furthermore, his long
; ing for the easy and apparently happy
life of bar rooms and hotels, enjoy
ing the company of beautiful women
and numerous friends, spurred him
constantly to come to this city.
A Colombian by the name of Mos
quera, who lived on a banana farm
quite close to one of the stores owned
by Bolo, became his very close friend.J
Visiting his friend, Bolo made the ac-.
! quaintance of his daughter, a charnu
" bj^foung girl of 16, with whom he
became infatuated at first sight. The
girl was a rare specimen of tropical,
beauty—dark-complexioned, tall. slen-|
der and graceful; her eyes as dark as
night and her cheeks as red as roses.J
Fond as Bolo was of women, he im
mediately went crazy over the girl,
but “Old Man Mosquera,” as the
father w'as generally called, an affec^
tionate and faithful guardian of his
daughter, a veteran of many a Colom
bian revolution, and a ready man to
handle a razor, soon put a /top to the
love affair. J
Soon afterward Bolo sold out all his
stores in the Atlantic bone and took
refuge in this city, where he remained
in hiding until he heard that Mos
quera in turn had also sold his prop-|
erties and sailed for Colombia. Once
Bolo had overcome his worry and anx-^
iety over Mosquera he decided to en-^
gage in agricultural enterprises. This
was in the latter part of the year 1896,
and it was then that he purchased a
beautiful farm located in the suburbs
of the city of Cartago, and belonging
to a wealthy Costa Rican.
One of Bolo’s first steps was to^
build himself a palatial residence on
the place and then actively proceeded
to start various cultivations. His resi
dence was furnished in princely style;
the wine room was stocked with the
best of liquors, among which cham-!
pagne was a common drink, and fre-j
quently he invited his friends to spend
a week with him, after which this wine^
room had to be restocked.
He continued to increase his credit'
in this city, and accordingly continued!
to improve his farm. He spent a part
of the week here and a part of the
week there At the gambling places
attended by the swellest people Bolo
was always seen to be most fortunate.
It has always been remarked that at
gambling he won large sums of money
in Costa Rica, although in the same
easy way in which he made money he
spent it.
At that time M. Aubry's grand opera
troupe, especially contracted by the
government, for the inauguration of
the National theater in this city, ar
rived here. From the arrival of the
troupe Bolo made many friends
among its members, especially among
the actresses, who were paid every
attention and frequently invited by
him to parties and picnics which he
especially organized. Bolo made him
self famous for the costly gifts which
he made to many of the actresses.
On the day of the inauguration Bolo,
attired in a stylish and perfect-fitting
dress suit, surrounded by his friends
find hpRiinrur «• i i h omilou noon r\t orl
one of the most prominent boxes at
the theater. .*
“Faust" was the opera sung the
night of the inauguration, and it was
a grand success for all the members
of Aubry’s troupe. It was also on
that eventful night that Bolo broke all
his previous records at a stately sup
per which he gave at a hotel in honot
of the principal players.
Frequently, when circumstance!
would permit. Bolo invited the mem
bers of the company to go to his farm
and there would entertain them ii
such sumptuous fashion that people
who attended those outings still sa:
that there has never been anybody it
Costa Kica who could entertain as he
did on those occasions. For these
outings lie took orchestras from Car
Ugo or San Jose. In the meantime
Boio's credit and good luck were rap
idly decreasing.
In spite of this fact, upon the ar
rival of Mademoiselle Lardinois, i
noted and beautiful French actress
who was brought to reinforce the com
party, Bolo became infatuated witt
her, gave her many valuable pieces ol
jewelry, and continued his life as a
lunatic and spendthrift.
It flnnOQPO thnt Vlll^i T Q rH in rxi o In
turn, also became infatuated wrtt
Bolo, and that they spent together a
season of luxury and pleasure.
The date for the departure of the
opera troupe was rapidly approach
ing, and as several of Bolo’s creditors
were becoming exigent and uneasy
he decided to depart with the troupe
and informed his creditors that he
was taking a trip to France in ordei
to make certain arrangenfents wit!
the firms he represented/ Bolo’s ex
cuse quieted his'««*Ht'ors, much more
so when he left behind his princelj
estate, to which an absurd value was
attached by all. It may here be re
marked that as Bolo never paid foi
this property, its previous owner liac
to take it back soon after his de
parture.
Bolo departed, but it seems that he
left Mile. Lardinois in Colon, Ban
ama, and took a south-bound steam
ship, while the beautiful actress, pen
niless and heartbroken, returned te
France.

HIGH COSTS
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Jan. 22.—The cost of the
principal foods has increased more
proportionately in Norway since the
war began than in the United King
dom, France or the United States,
says the Board of Trade and Labor
Gazette. The comparison shows the
increase to have been 114 per cent in
Norway, 105 per cent in the United
Kingdom, 83 per cent in France and
46 in the United States.
Some of the detailed increases in
the United Kingdom are: Beef, 79
to 135 per cent; sugar, 188; milk, 96;
tea. 107; eggs, fresh, 239; butter, 99;
fish, 191.
It is estimated that of all the items
ordinarily entering into the family ex
penditures of workingmen, including
food, rent, clothing, fuel and light, the
advance on pre-war times is about 85
per cent. ,
