HOLD SOLDIER FOR COURT
Made Good Record Abroad--Accused
Of Keeping Money He Collected

After fighting in France for several
months and making good record gen
orally, John McGrath, of Germantown,
was arrested today, charged with EN-
bczzlemcnt. He was member of Com
pany B. 315th Field Artillery.
According to Walter Richard, a coaI
dealer, of Haines street and Belfield
avenue, McGrath collected S14 for Goa
delivered in November, 1917, and failed
to return the money. McGrath said he
had five days pay coming to him al
the time, and he considered this made
up for the money withheld.
At hearing before Magistrate Pen
mock the prisoner said he offered to re
turn the money, but the offer was re.
fused. McGrath's mother also testi
fed that an offer to return the money
was not accepted. This was denied BY
Richard. McGrath was held in $4O(

FULL HOUSE BEATS FLUSH,
DENMARK PRINCE KNOWS
Arriving in Neto York; Titled Foreigner Admits Fascination
for Poker-Taught by United States Army officers

Prince Aage, of the royal house of
Denmark, who is in this country on a
visit, during the course Of which he
will come to Philadelphia, has already
became devotce of the ancient and
honorable American indoor pastime-
poker.
Many kronen, kopeks, or whatever it
is they use in Denmark, have been
changed for good American money and
in this form spent by the royal visitor
to learn that three deuces do not beat
three queens, and that 1t is equally
foolish to back a flush or straight against
"full hand" held by an opponent.
The prince arrived in New York yes
terday aboard the transport America.
He caught his first glimpse Of the ma
tional game on the way over. Army
officers playing cards and wagering mys
terious red, white or blue chips excr-
cised fascination over him, and final
ly he asked to be shown the game.
He was shown. And the stacks of
mysterious chips before the officers in
creased amazingly, much to the dctri-
ment of the kopeks, kronen or some
thing else mentioned before.
But backed by the royal treasury of
Denmark and all its mysterious coins,
Prince Aage presevered and before the
America docked was "bettin' two" and
"just calm " with the best in the
party.
The mysteries of jack pot, opening
staying, royal flushes and other things
devotees of the popular indoor sport are
versed in, are now like an open book
to the royal visitor. Like many others,
he paid for his education.

TRANSMISSION FAILS
Young Woman Dies Four Hours
After Operation at Mt. Sinai

Although George w. Hoopman, of
Forty third and Chestnut streets, gave
his blood in a TRANSMISSION operation to
save the life of Hilda Feinstein, of 1929
Berks street, at the Mt. Sinai Hospital
yesterday afternoon, the young woman
died four hours later.
Doctor Rubenstein performed the op-
Grafton at p. M, but the patient s
vitality was so low that she did not
rally.
The young man, who is student,
did not know Miss Feinstein, but he
was so moved by a newspaper appeal
in behalf of this young woman, who
has been in a weakened condition for
months as the result of a cerebral oper
alton, that he volunteered to give a
quantity of his blood in an effort to
save her.
