“IT DOESN’T PAY,” SAYS THE
SWINDLER WHEN CAUGHT
“It doesn’t iuiy,” said Leo Koretz,
Chicago’s arch swindler, as he enter
ed the state penitentiary at Joliet a
little more than a month ago, upon
conviction and sentence of swindling
hundreds of persons of a total of over
$2,000,000 through illegal stock specu
lations. Now Kortea is dead, A few
month: r go Koretz w;:s living in the
lap of luxury. He had a peculiar
lair for luring multi-niiilionaires into
his swindling schemes. So success
ful was he that some of them begged
him to take their money. He also
“gypped” many pt rsons who are not
millionaires or multi-millionaires.
Finally his house of cards tumbled,
and lie became a fugitive. Caught
at last, he confessed when he enter
ed the prison gates, disgraced and
broke, he told the world that a career
of high financing “doesn't pay.” A
great many men have discovered that
fact, to their sorrow. So have many
speculators and investors who want
ed to “get rich quick.” Yet the world
seems to turn out a new one of both
classes every minute, despite repeat
ed warnings and unlimited publicity
of similar cases.
Natives of Australia eat millions
of butterflies each year and consider
them a great delicacy when roasted.

HERRIOT INDICATES AILING
MEMBER WITH APT
REFERENCE TO POLITICS
PARIS, Feb. 4.—Premier Herriot,
who has just recovered from a swell
ing in one of his legs which kept him
confined to his rooms for nearly a
month, never once lost his good hu
mor, in spite of the physical pain and
the great mental worry over bitter
political attacks leveled at his gov
ernment during his illness.
The government of which Mr. Her
riot is the head is composed of the
more advanced elements of French
chamber—excepting the Communists
—and is generally called the govern
ment of the lefts.”
“Which one of your legs is ailing?”
one of his friends whom he received
in his sick room, asked him one day.
“The right, of course,” replied Her
riot. “I am the man of the ‘lefts’ the
‘right’ is seeking revenge.”
Bachelor King To Sit
On British Throne Is
Prediction In London
LONDON, Feb. 4.—Even those peo.
pie who spoke with forbearance of the
matrimonial shyness of the Prince of
Wales are now getting uneasy with
the announcement that the royal heir
will prolong his visit to South Af
rica next year to include a trip to
the Argentine. This can only mean
to these Englishmen that another,
year will be added to the interval
until the Prince announces he has
picked out a girl to be the future
queen.
And Englishmen have listened to
the same tale of postponment for the
last five years. Whenever the Prince i
of Wales remains in London for a
long period, the busybodies, working
mostly through the newspapers, get
up a series of stories intimating that
a certain interesting announcement
on royal notepaper will be forthcom
ing Irom Buckingham Paiac.?, and
even speculate who the girl is. Such
great expectations have never been
given a chance to materialize, for the
Fiinee has stepped out ot the coun
try cn a trip to his futuie domains
just in time and the ladies in ques
tion have, in most cases, married be-|
fore his return home.
Now there are not. so many eligi-;
I bles ior speculation. The Ladies j
| Mary and Rachael Ca/endish, Lady |
Mary Gordon-Lennox and Lad/ Mary;
Cambridge, who were all freely di;>-j
| cussed as prospective mates for the j
Piuice of Wales, have married. In j
fact the list of English girls of suit-j
(able age is becoming distressingly!
narrowed, and as most Englishmen j
have made up their minds that David j
Edward is not going outside his faih-j
er’s realm for a bride, the prince will j
probably have to choose his bride
from the younger generation.
;><) ij'imcsted has the public bee m°
’a this ' mpler of bis life, I!. ? Royal
iiighmss can hardly attenl hou-.e j
pa-jit s or dances without a resound. |
ing echo connecting his name with
some debutante being heard immedi- j
ately throughout Mayfair, then down
to Southwark and Clapham. Since
returning from his last trip the prince
has successfully counteracted this
gossip by not appearing at dances and
house parties. At the present time j
there is no girl being honored as the ;
prospective Princess of Wales.
There are many people in London
now who whisper that the announce
ment of the engagement of the Prince
of Wales will never come and that he
is going to be that strange complex,
a bachelor king. Some who profess
to know even say the prince has of
ten stated he does not want to mar
ry. So far as the outward circumstan
ces show, the betting is on tlieir side.

PRINCE OF JAPAN SHUNS
ALL REGAL SURROUNDINGS
TOKIO, Feb. 4.—Prince Yasuhito
Chiehihu, second son of the emperor
will sail for England in May for a
stay of possibly four years. He will
enter Oxford University and, oreaking j
all precedents for a prince of the
royal house, will live in college prem
ises.
The prince’s first year abroad will
be spent in the home of a British
family whose name has not been di
vulged, and after a gorunding in Eng
lish he will enter upon his univer.
sity course and specialize in sociol
ogy. This will be the first time a
prince of Japan has studied in a for
eign university except military insti
tutions, and the radical departure J
from custom is looked upon in Japan
as indicating a marked change in the j
position of the royal house.

FRENCH AVIATOR KNOCKED
CUT BY STRONG WIND
PARIS, Feb. 3.—Adjutant Floren
tin Bonnet, ‘fastest man in the world’
was completely knocked out and ur
sconcious for fully 20 seconds during
his record breaking trial at Istres.
Dec. 11, when, travelling at the rate
of 448.170 kilometers per hour, he
wrested the world’s speed champion
ship from the American Lieutenant A.
J. Williams.
Bonnet, a modest, retiring chap,
never said a word about it until a
few days later in Paris, while watch
ing a boxing contest between two
heavyweights. Van der Veer, of Hol
land, a 225 pound man, was meeting
Marcel Nilles, the veteran Frenchman
when the former suddenly whipped a
right cross to the jaw with a resound
ing whack, knocking the Frenchman
to the canvas for the count of nine.
“I’ll bet Nilles was not hit as hard
as I was during my flight,’’ volun
teered Bonnet, “I was out for 20 sec
onds. Yes, I’ll bet even Dempsey
in his best hitting form never struck
any one such a blow as I got on the
jaw,’’ he added. Surprised, his many
friends asked for an explanation.
“Well, I forgot myself and stuck
my head out from behind the wind
shield before taking a turn and the
wind pressure striking me against
the side of the face knocked me clean
out,” said Bonnet.
