MOROCCO'S EX-SULTAN
L|ON|zED BY PAR|S|ANS
Frightened by Tunnel Won

Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablesram to The Star.
PARIS, August 24.-Mulai Hafid, the ex-
Sultan of Morocco, is the hero of the
moment here. The atrocities which were
committed in his name and which attract
ed the attention of the world appear to be
entirely forgotten, and long tales Of his
doings and sayings at Vichy, where he
is taking the cure, receive the place OF
honor in the daily press.
One of the most terrifying sensations of
Hafids life is said to have been his pas
sage through the long tunnel in the trian
journey to Marseille to Vichy. While
in the tunnel the ex-sultan remained hud-
died in a corner, muttering texts from
the Koran and clutching talisman in one
hand and a dagger in the other. After
ward he said that he would even sooner
fly in an aeroplane than brave another
tunnel
Every morning he takes the waters
regularly, surrounded by an inquiSitive
crowd and attended by DR.. Verdon, his
Australian physician, who lived in Mo-
rocco for fifteen years and wears mag
nificent purple robe of office.
At the hotel where the ex-sultan is
staying he insists on taking his meals
in the general dining room, where he
gazes curiously at the toilets of the
ladies round him.
Puzzled by Women's Hats.
French women. in fact, afford Mulai
Hafid a good deal of material for re-
Election. Their enormous hats particularly
puzzle him.
Their hair" he said a day or two ago,
lis too pretty for them to hide it under
those big affairs, which even mask their
charming faces most of the time. They
ought to wear no hats, or very small
ones. How is it that here only men wear
small hats?"
Every day he receives hundreds of let
tiers from all parts of France, asking
help OF various kinds or autographs All
these the ex-sultan insists on having
answered. and he carefully signs all de-
sired autographs.
Among his mail yesterday was a small
bouquet bearing the label, From the
midinettes of Montmartre."
After it had been explained to the ex-
sultan what 'midinette" was he an
nounced his intention of thanking them in
person during the incognito trip to Paris
which he intends to make soon.

T0BACCO-BUYING INQUIRY.
House Passes Bill Providing Inves-
tigation of Alleged Collision.

To ascertain whether a tobacco-buying
trust has been formed by the govern
ments of Italy, Austria, France, Spain
and Japan to depress prices on the
American market the House last night
passed a bill providing for an investiga-
ton by a special congressional commits
sion. The Senate already had passed the
bill.
The five governments concerned are
declared to exercise a monopoly in the
manufacture Of tobacco. and, although
they buy heavily in the American mar
ket. competition between them is said
to have been a dead letter for years, and
prices paid have been steadily depressed
until the American grower now is said
to be forced to dispose of his crops at a
price lower than the growing cost. The
proposed commission Is to consist OF
three senators and an equal number
from the membership of the House.

Score for the Prize.
BURDETTE HEADS THE LIST
Last Month Of Campaign Against

QUARTER MILLION IN A DAY
BURDETTE HEADS THE LIST

Two hundred and sixty-four thousand
six hundred more flies yesterday were
added to the August casualty roll Of The
Stars campaign against the insects. This
makes the total slaughter for the month,
so, far 5.791,5OO
With but one week remaining of the
present months campaign, the scores
made by Layton H. Burdette and Law
renee Fitzgerald are SO close that neither
contestant is assured finishing in first
place. 1t is even possible that William
Steiner may forge ahead Of both con-
tenders and capture the principal honors.
Fitzgerald and Steiner increased their
scores yesterday, as a result Of which the
formers record for the month is l, ISL 900,
while Steiner's is 1.304.SO0. Burr1ette is in
the lead with 1,664. 400 points to his
credit. This gives him a margin over
Fitzgerald Of IL, 800 points. When there
is taken into account the fact that both
contestants. on several occasions, have
made deliveries of insects in lots of more
than 100000 each, this margin, it will
be seen, is small one, and does not in
dictate much of an advantage.
Funk in Fourth Place.
1T practically is assured that Frank
Funk will win fourth prize in this
months contest. Deliveries Of flies by
young Funk have been almost daily, but
as they seldom have been in lots of more
than 10000, the total number has not
been sufficient to give this contestant a
higher standing. Funks score, to date.
is 77590O. and he should be in the one
million class before the middle of the
week.
Mark Trice has the score of 34, 600.
which. from present Indications. will en-
able him to win the fifth prize. The sixth
prize probably will go to a girl, Annie
Liston. DR.. Murray, supervisor of the
campaign will ascertain the final scores
of the contestants Saturday, SO that 1t will
be possible to publish the names of the
winners in next Sundays issue of The
Star.
September Prizes.
Four months of fly "swatting' by the
youth of the capital will come to a closer
Saturday, while Monday will witness the
commencement of the last month of &C
tivities for the determination of the insect
horde. The prizes to be awarded at the
end of September will be general. based
on the showing of the entire campaign,
and will range in value from 500 down.
Indications are that the fly will be
shown no quarter in any section of the
city next month and that millions of the
pests will be destroyed.

was paid to them by Mr.. Robinson.
Robinson had received the paper
