Speaking of these claimants to the Rus

OF the Russian General staff interviewed
by the HERALD correspondent, explained that
from the point OF view of the legitimatsts
the real successor OF the Car is the Grand
Duke Dmltri. son OF the Cars uncle. be-
cause Cyril while an older cousin, was born
of mother not Orthodox. which under the
Russian law disqualihes him.

occupies a position as "A neutral spectator

the Russian colony, that the Russians

spective candidates, with the headquarters

"It must not be supposed continued
Gen. Noskoff. that all Of the refugees are
for a restoration of the monarchy. There
are various groups both I'm Paris and Ber-
lin who regard the actions Of the monar-
chists as doing great injury to the Russian
cause Also there exists now among many
factions tendency toward reconciliation
with the Moscow Government provoked by
the disappearance Of the last OF the anti
Bolshevik military forces and by the suf-
ferings endured by Russians in living far

been accentuated. too by the discord caused

been that at recent Russian gatherings

"ARE WOMEN AS HONEST AS MEN?" STIRS SEX r

Al we're sent TO Bedford Reformatory and
3S3 were given suspended sentences.
Considering the number Of women who are
given suspended sentences and not torget-
ting the large number of acquittais IN
offences charged against them. 1t would
appear that If women are more honest than
men il is the fault of the women rather
than the fault of the law It would almost
seem that the only repression against crime
that a woman has Is her own conscience
with the vague prospect Of the inconvenience
Of trial.

number of crimes committed by men and
the small number by women and come 10
any scintillating conclusions as to the rela-
tive honesty of men and women. primarily
the man Is the wage Garner OF the tamily'
II there is any thieving to be done for the
general good of the family ii would naturally
fall to his lot to go out and do the Job'
Even though he may withhold from the fem
mime members of his family the intimate de-
tails of his profession, it does not follow that
he has less moral sense than the others
at least not until the woman has been placed
in the same position of having to provide
for the family
When a woman covets special prize,
whether 1t is a late model touring sedan OF
n set of mink furs. she does not necessarily
have to put herself within the jurisdiction
of the courts to satisfy her desires. By the
simple device of "vamping" some man OF
susceptible disposition she can be the proud
possessor of the precious article. To dodge
the possibility of being mentioned as re-
ceiver of stolen goods 1t may be necessary
to urge the man to rob a bank and make the
deal quite legal as far she Is concerned
1t is only in cases of extreme need where
she must go out and do the pilfering on her
own.

contraband, and men usually managed all of
the details. While the trinkets and trophies
of the chase might eventually find their way
into a womans hands, the actual criminal
act was committed by masculine con-
trivance.
At the office of the New York State In
come Tax Bureau it was said that in the
matter of making falsified reports women
are far outnumbered by men. In presenting
his tabulated report James T. Somers, chief
of the investigating division declared that
few women are tax dodgers.

rant In Passy, where one can get a meal for
eight francs. Her husband was once Vice
Minister OF War. Those who go there see
his wife working I'm the kitchen and serving
the guests.
Another typical case, even more striking
because of her rank, is that of the Grand
Duchess Marie Pavlowna, sister Of the
Grand Duke Dimitri, upon whom the hopes
of some OF the monarchists are centred. In
a little apartment near the Etoile she is
eking out her existence by taking in sewing
from the dressmaking shops. Count Igna-
tieff, whose estates were so large that he
was rated as one of Russia's three richest
men, is running a small dairy near Paris.
Cases like these are numerous.

slams once made the champagne flow see
them now seldom, II ever. simply because
they have no money to spend in them. With
$4,000 Russians IL would be supposed that
Paris would have by this time at least few

that is not the case The reason is that there

When Eleven Cents Would Buy
A Good Meal of Beer and Pretzefs

AZ young woman acquaintance OF ours,

Subway Ticket Chopper Gives
Line on the Situation in America

Which is fair sample OF the argument
as il moves along in Great Britain.
SqUarng off for the American situation
we should have begun by consulting with
the subway officials. And we did after
fashion. At least, we found ticket chopper
az the Fourteenth street station not only
ready but eager to air his views on the gem
eral subject Of honesty In the subway bust
ness.
Taking them as they come" he said
"swarming in through here by the hundred
they're mostly pretty honest. Only about
one in a thousand tries to beat his way"
"His way?" we repeated.
"Sure. his way. You don't get no women
trying to cheat. Sometimes they get by
without meaning to. and when you bail them
they get red and embarrassed. No, sir, II
there is any cheating it's some gink who
thinks the world owes him a living and a
few free rides on the subway"
The ticket chopper at Times square con-
firmed this estimate.
"If there's any women folks tryin' to sneak
into the subway they don't pick out my
gate" he declared. but there's plenty of
men practisin' all the tricks of the trade
They shove in the exit. double on one ticket
and pull the old one about jerkin their
thumb over the shoulder But there don't
any women try IT,"
Remembering certain ticket agents OF the
male variety who have an annoying habit OF
holding back change when an express is
romping into the station. we about came to
the conclusion that II there is any dishonesty
underground in Manhattan Il Is not TO be
charged at the door Of the feminine sex.
Down at the Custom House the solicitor
for tho Collector said that It was only on
the moving picture screen and in train fc-
tion that the woman Is the spectacular
srnuggier. In the day to day business of
handling cases Of misrepresented declara-
tlons the balance between the sexes is about
even. Among the passengers on incoming
steamers he thought there were as many
women as men who attempted to bring in
undeclared articles in the remote corners OF
trunks and hand luggage.
In wholesale smuggling. he said there
were practically no women in the game. 1t

Countesses, Generals and a swarm of the old
courtiers who formerly made up the Russian
court life. Some of them working in Of

as clerks
With these old time courtiers, with AL
others I'm this strange colony of Russiun
refugees. the question OF absorbing interest
naturally is that of the legitimate successor
TO the throne OF the Romanoffs.. For the
hope OF the restoration Of their sovereigns
and OF their own titles and privileges never
really dies with those washed up here fcom
the wreck of Europe's monarchles Here
again the story of the Russian emigres
bears a strong resemblance TO that of the
titled French families forced to flee at the
time of the French Revolution. Around the
real heir Of the Car there is the same
mystery as that involved in the fate Of the
unfortunate Dauphln.
Not that these Grand Dukes and Ouch
esses and their followers here in Paris hold
to the belief that the Car himself any Of
his children survive. That idea they have
now dismissed. II s concerning the fate OF
his imperial brother. the Grand Duke

apparently there is little prospect OF them
uniting on any one of the several aspirants
TO the throne. Unquestionably the Grand
Duke Michael IL alive, is entitled to their
support as being the nearest OF kin. but OF
his fate not a thing Is known Reports Of
his death have come from many parts of
Russia. but none authenticated. If he ex-

By TORREY FORD.

w rITHOUT attempting to identify the
\A/ participants or reveal too many of
the intimate facts in the case, 1t
is of interest to report that the controversy
over honor among the sexes is well under
way again. In some not so remote sections
of the earth it is raging furously; in other
places there is a mere simmering. But
wherever people gather and the topic is
brought up il isn't dismissed too casually.
The issue boils down to the rather perti-
nent query as to whether or not women are
as honest as men. Or, to toss fine words
aside and dip into the thing without any
tender feelings, are women more dishonest
than men?

Shoplifting, Woman's Field,
Provides No True Comparison

The figures for shoplifting provide no true
measure of honesty Since time immemorial
that has been considered a womans field.
Few men, except of the effeminate brand,
stoop to this leisurely fashion Of earning
livelihood And the courts consider 1t more
of an eccentricity than as a regular crime.
Detective William j. Burns IN his long ex-
perience as a criminal expert has met just
one woman that he considers an out and
out criminal This woman, he believes. is
an exception to her sex. Other women are
enticed into crime, according to his opinion,
not by criminal instincts but through their
own cupidity or by yielding to some man.
"Onlyf in the rarest cases." Mr.. Burns
was quoted as saying, ARE women found
TO be the instigators Of crime. In nine cases
out of ten where ! have been called in to
ferret out the criminal I find the arch
criminal to be a man. My experience leads
me to believe that women seldom offer ini-
tiative In crime
On the contrary. Joab II. Banton. acting
District Attorney of New York county, be-
lieves that "a good many girls grow up
without having any moral sense Whatever
'I used TO believe" said Mr.. Manton, that
women involved in crime were commonly
victims Of circumstances, rarely the insti-
gators of evildoing and almost always capa-
BILE. under right instruction of reform. My
experience of the last eighteen months has
made me change my mind. / have studied
in that period hundreds of women criminals,
listening many times TO their own stories.
7 have found women among them who are
capabIe of any degree of crime. 1 have
found many more who seem to have no
moral sense whatever.

In the everyday life of Manhattan the

restaurants could offer, he said-the cere-
mony of the drug store stool. we presume.
Strictly in home circles we would be skat-
ing on thin ice to attempt any generaliza-
tions about relative honesty. We do know
that the average woman Is too honest to
make good poker player II she holds four
aces she is more than apt TO tell the whole
world about It before the betting reaches

crucial.

ceeds the male Of the species. She can reel OF
the lines about "Dee-l lighted 20 meet youl'
and What a charming homei" while the
man is stumbling around for opening TO
confess that for himself he prefers the city.
Some experts figure that in telling the
truth and fulfilling obligations men are
more honest than women. but that in mat
ters involving moral scruples and conscience
women are more honest in the broader sense.
