New York.-Jabberng a French
patois in excited expostulat!on against
the sleuths of Collector Loeb laying
violent hands upon his battered suit
case, Antoine Simon Jr, as black as
Erebus, and son of the man who has
just been deposed from the presidency
of Hayti, came into this port on his
way to Europe, avowedly to protest
to the German government against
the result of the latest revolution that
has driven his father from power.
Tis interest in the battered suit
case was due to the fact that it con-
tanned over 100000 gold. This the
son of the deposed president had
grabbed only few hours before the
Allemania left Port au Prince.
The eyes of Loeb's men bulged out
in astonishment when they discovered
the shining American gold coins wrap
ped in greasy brown paper.
Accompanying young Simon was
Antoine Pier2, who had been Prosi-
dent Simon's secretary. They will
leave New York on the first ship for
Paris.
