Now the embargo has been lifted ON an

while the embargo held potential dangers
for crude rubber consumers and, later Tor
manufacturers and users those dangers
have been avoided. It is not likely there

BANKER Brings SUIT
AGAINST PRINCESS
Asks $I97,42I from Princess Lwof-
Parlaghy on Notes.-The IANow
War Prisoner in France.

New York. Feb THE Princess Wilma
and other notables. was sued yesterday
in the Supreme Court by Carlo Wedekind.
a German banker now held prisoner, 1t
is said, by the French government be-
cause he knows too much concerning the
turbine engine on French battleships.
The banker, whose headquarters have
been at Nice up TO the time Of his ar
rest. had many branch houses. He de-
mands of the princess $l97. .42 alleged due
on notes. The princess lives In the Hotel
St Regis.
The complaint was filed by O'Brien.
Boardman & Platt. The notes were given
in settlement of dealings running for
seven years, it is alleged.
Her Lawyer Explains.
Richard f. Weldon. an attorney with
Offices in the WoOlworth Building. who
represents the princess. said yesterday
that Mr.. Wedekind has control of more
than enough of the princess's property
to offset the claim he has made.
my client was a Hungarian princess
when she married a Russian prince" he
said. "At that time she was living in
Nice but went to Berlin. Widekind was
living in Nice at the time.
while the Princess was in Berlin
she painted portraits OF many notable
men and women. The Kaiser sat for
her seven times and Bismark three times.
Ultimately she returned to her native
country, where her brother was fam
GUS surgeon.
Through his brother the princess met
wedekind and ultimately made hun her
financial adviser and business agent. She
gave him power OF attorney and in the
end she transferred over to him all her
stocks and bonds. together with two
Chateaus and their contents"

BOYS BURN OPPONENT
in SNOWFALL BATTLE.
Pour Oil Over Youths Clothing and
Set Match to It-Victim
Near Death.

New York. Feb. Two squads of boy
SNOWFALL fighters met yesterday after
noon in front of q East l34th street and
began A battle, which became more and
more furious as the day wore on.
Snow forts were built on either side
of the street and now one side and then
the other would charge.
One OF the crack throwers on the north
side OF the street was eleven-year-old
Edward O'Brien. So accurate was his
aim that other boys began making snow
balls for him and keeping him well sup
piled with ammunition.
He AnEered the Enemy.
Every time a head showed above the
opposite fort it was in danger Of being
hit. The opposing side became angry
and threatened the young sharpshooter.
About dusk Edwards mother. who lives
in 427, called him into the house. The boy
darted toward the door, slipped. and fell.
Instantly half a dozen OF the oppos-
ing side were on top of him. Looking
on from the window OF his home in 427
was William Matthews. and passing on
the opposite side OF the street was Ed
ward Mccormick, of 4SS East 1SSth
street.
According to these men the boys han
died Edward roughly. Suddenly a boy
crowd and poured kerosene from can
on the PROSTATE boy. Then the same boy
or another one touched a lighted match
10 Edwards clothing and it famed up.
His Condition Critical.
As he screamed in pain and rolled
about in the snow all the boys took to
their heels. The two men ran to the
burning boys aid, threw snow on the
flames and wrapped him in their coats.
but before the fire was out the boys
clothing had been almost burned of and
his flesh in places was almost charred.
He was taken to Lincoln Hospital His
condition is critical.
Coroner Flynn went to the hospital
last night and spent two hours by the
injured boys cot, hoping through an
antemortem statement to discover the
names of the boys who held him down
while his clothes were oil soaked and set
on fire.
Detectives from the Alexander Station
began search for the boys, but up to
a late hour had not caught any Of them.
