 Not Known As Prince. To the "Pine State" residents, Schwarm was no more than phy- sician and nephew of the noted ad- miral, young man addicted to strong drink. a flash among the fair sex, and one who found it necessary to secure monetary favors on all sides. His claims of money invested in the United States Steel and Stand ard oil stocks were never questioned when the Dewey family connections were mentioned. His explanation of being temporarily tied up" was readily accepted. Schwarm's depar- ture from Oldtown and Greenville was equally as mysterious as his arrival. AS result, the Penobscot and Pn- cataauis authorities are now seeking the doctor" in the hopes that they may secure an axplanation for sev- eral details that he overlooked in his departure from that locality.

They requested that the keep the young man where he couldn't get any booze so that he lllisHI SopVi up anu 'CSoIit IiiIlloSli again. That Dewey" had been drunk for eight or nine days was their statement to the desk clerk.
 Dewey" was given quarters in an annex to the hotel where chauffeurs and employees are accommodated. The sum of s100 was left and 1t was requested that he be kept out of sight. The duo then departed.
 Always Borrowing Money.
 After he had sobered up he inn began wiring friends in New York, Boston and Hartford for money. those who knew him say, and ,n occasion he received few dol ars, at other times nothing.
