Hirshfeld TO Ask Court
To Erase Buchler's Words
Ex-Depusy's Accusations Are
Unworthy of Man of God,
Saws Investigator

David Hirshfeld, Commissioner Of
Accounts, said yesterday that he would
ask the Corporation Counsel's Office to
request Supreme Court Justice O'Mal-
ley to strike from the files the affidavit
Of DR.. Samuel Buchler, former Deputy
Commissioner Of Public Markets, sub
mitted Monday in the contempt pro-
ceedings brought by Commissioner
Hirshfeld against DR.. Buchler. In his
affidavit Dr. Buchler said that he re-
fused to testify before the Commits
sioner Of Accounts in the latter's in
vestigation of the Department of Pub
lie Markets because Commissioner
Hirshfeld was unfair, prejudiced and
biased. and did not conduct himself in
a gentlemanly mnnner.
DIR. Buchler's accusations are un-
worthy of q repl," said Commissioner
Hirshfeld "and, as he will be COM
PEELED to submit to examination before
me. | do not at this time care to say
what he will be examined on. How
ever, l will say that DR.. Buchler's &C.
cusation that the stenographer's min
utes were changed, is untrue. That
charge is unworthy of a man who
claims to be rabbi and pretends to
preach the word of Goo. DR.. Buchler
is simply abusing his power by using
ton of his feelings against me, and
that is his sole motive in causing this
controversy. That his attack was not
made in good faith is evidenced by his
reference to the employment of my
brother in the Markets Department.
Furthermore, if anyone was ungentle-
manly, it was DR.. Buchler and not L.

Bourbon Prince Though Not
Royal-Born, Is a Grand Chef
Hospital Superintendent Vouches for Ability of Bo
gus Nobleman as Cook Who Did Not Spoil the
Broth, but Fondness for Women Was Failing

Though Harold Sehwarm, the former
mechanic, Of New Britain, Conn, had
no right to the appropriated title of
Prince Louis Henri de Bussigny de
Bourbon. il was learned yesterday that
he deserves one title, That is chef"
Harold tried his best to put across his
act in the grand manner and failed, but
even If he was not a general in the
army of the Czar of all the Russians
there are witnesses to prove that he
was good cook.
DR.. Harry J. Moss, superintendent
of the Peoples Hospital, 203 Second
Avenue. was formerly at the Browns
vile and East New York Hospital and
hired the prince" as chef in that estab-
lishment about year ago. At that
time the royal youth went by the name
of Reginald Van de We're and, accord
ing to acquaintance of that period,
declared himself the nephew of John
Jacob Astor. DR.. Moss said that Van de
We're, as he knew him, came in re-
Spouse to an advertisement and brought
good references, saying he had worked
for several fine families
DR.. Moss was emphatic in his denial
Of the story that on the first day OF
his new position Van de We're had
spoiled the broth.
wan de We're was good Chef" he
said. Gle was so good that l would
like to have him myself He never
gave any impression while I knew him
of being anything shady. He was al
ways immaculate, Of extremely good ap-
pearance, seemed anxious to hold his
job and did excellent work.
Shortly after | hired Van de We're
ne came TO me and asked if I could
find place for his wife in the hospi-
tai. He said that he had just been
married and that his wife worked for
the city as a laboratory technician.

she impressed me favorably, put her
TO work in the laboratory where for a
while she did quite we'll"
This arrangement, however. did not
work out, for the honeymoon spirit
was strong in the young man, and he
spent his spare time between meals
spooning with his wife, whose work
suffered from lack of attention, accord
ing to DR.. Moss. Finally, he said, he
had to let her go, and about week or
so later Van de We're, who seemed to
feel lonely, decided to leave also.
The unfortunate prince had his
faults. and one of his failings seems to
have been women, 1t is said that he
has married three times, with only one
divorce on his record. AS conse-
quence the police of Boston and New
Britain are looking for him on a charge
Of bigamy. Meanwhile, Harold of the
many aliases is in hiding.
