Sultan Takes Of His Fee in Capital
Street Cars.

Tired of sightseeing automobiles, taxi

wish to ride on the street ears and mix
up with people. Accordingly. Mai. Scott
and the party boarded a car and rode
around Washington for several hours.
The National Museum and the Monument
were visited by the party, and as the Sui
tan expressed fatigue they returned to
the hotel.
One OF the most amusing incidents since
the party arrived in this country hap
pened when the party got on the car
The Sultan had been told by his inter-
prefer that II was customary in this
country for gentlemen to remove their
hats in elevators If ladies were present
AS soon as the party was seated. the Sui
tan. mindful of the advice given him,
issued a gutteral command. at which the
entire party removed their turbans in the
car.
The interpreter hastily explained that
an electric car was hardly a place to re-
move ones headgear. even though polite
society demands such action in an eleva-
tor.

feeling, he continued. is not new. China

His trip through America has been one
continual surprise to the prince, said Sec

he did not realize the greatness OF the
nation, but the intense business activity
of the people he considered astounding.
After the dinner last night at the White
