 He said Paris is now his home and that he has several big deals on hand. Asked # he was afraid of arrest, he said: well, have never been arres ted yet. More Americans in Paris know me than know the American Ambas- sador I am not trying to hide. I am liot wanted now by the federal off, cers if ever I was wanted by them. I send more broken down Americans home with first class tickets than any other American In Europe.
 "I sailed about a week before the Storey cotton company went ntp bankruptcy. knew nothing of being indicted until arrived on the other side am charged with misuse of the malls. This is not an extradita- ble offens6 and consequently Uncls Sam has never bothered me and be- IIeve that all charges have been with drawn as far as I am concerned, al- though I really believe I was never considered as involved more than a. a possible witness"
 "The newspapers have charged President Storey and yourself with getting away with about S8,000, ,000 How about that story?"
 "Oh, that is an exas geration. The Philadelphia North American caused run on the Storey Company and after 1t had paid out about million and half dollars to depositors. represent ing two million and a half dollars it had to close up doors for want of ready cash. have no idea where the money went. I got none of it."
 They say President Storey is dead. What about thatT'
 MT Storey is living m London He is in a bad way. His stomach has gone back on him and he IS wearing a tube. The papers. you know. said that Sophie Lang and he e5ped. That is not true.

Pabst Beer
 Most Popular

American People Appreciate Clean and
 Wholesome Beverage
 With the increased consumption of beer the public is becoming moro and more discriminating. Once upon time beer was beers but now we are becom- ing very particular what we drink In the way of beer. Each brewer makes his own particular brand or brands, each with it's own particular flavor, color and other marked char acteristics. While the process of brew Ing Is the same in general 1t is not at all the same in particular.
 In this 1t might be well to know that Pabst is recognized in this country and abroad as the pioneer in perfecting the cleanest process for making beer as well as being the leader in the science of brewing. It was Pabst who first recognized not alone the desirability, hui the necessity of absolute cleanli- ness in brewing, cooling and aging beer. Today he leads in the cleanliness of his process. Pabst Beer Is not cooled in open rooms where men walk in and out. but in sealed coolers where only filtered air can reach it. Pabst Beer Is not aged in open vats but In sealed tanks where it stays until science shows if perfect in age, purity and strength
 Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is always exactly the same. The exquisite flavor never changes, because Pabst yeast with which Pabst beer is fermented is al- ways grown from the original mother cell in Pasteur tubes and tanks, where there is not the slightest chance for outside contamination. It Is always made from Pabst exclusive eight-day malt grown under the watchfuI eyes of trained scientists who make it just tbe game and just right every time. onlv the choicest imported hops are used. thus it is rich fin tonic proper / lies. It never leaves the brewery un- iii fully aged and perfect in purity and strength-the cleanest beer brew ed.
 nation Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is the most popular beer with the doctors and the people who value its richness and its cleanliness.
