zAHAROFF STILL POWER DESPITE
 BIC LOSSES
Richest Man in Europe" Said to Have Lost 60 of His 100 Millions.
By DAVID NJ. CHURCH, International News Service Staff

London. Dec. 1%-Sir Basil Zaha- rolf, the Mystery Man of Europe" who is credited with having been the richest man in Europe and the power behind innum erable international deals and diplomatic barters, Is re ported to have suffered severe finan- cIal losses.
 Sir BasiPs financial losses since the war are rumored to have been as high as $60,0O0.00S a considerable blow even for zarahoff.
 The Mystery Man of Europe came into prominence during the re- cent Greek debacle, when it was re- ported that he was coming to London to confer with Lloyd George. London newspapers immediately opened a campaign against Sir Basil, charging that he Was partly responsible for Great Britain lending moral aid to the Greek adventures in the Near East.
 When the war broke out it was reported Sir Basil was worth nearly S1G0,000, 900; now it is said that his fortune has shrunk to S40,CO0, ,00O, and he continues to incur heavy losses in Ihe shipping industry.
 During the war Sir Basil acquired was reported that this unknown Greek. who has moved with mystery in high European circles for many years, was taking upon himself the task of repOpulating the seas, which had been devastated by submarines. The sudden end of the war and an Overproduction Of ships cost ''the mystery man. heavily.
 There are also reports that millions Of ZaharOf francs were lost at Monte Carlo. It is understood that he Ob- tained control of the Casino at Monte Carlo during the season of 191S-19-- a season when most of the world was busy in making peace and uptng war losses. Since 191S-19 Monte Carlo has not been a, paying venture.
 Banks which Sir Basil is interested in have had to share the world finan- cial depression. The flames of Smyrna licked Up more of Zaharoff'S money, 1t is reported.
 Despite these heavy losses 'fthe mystery man" apparently has no in tention of taking his remaining mil lions and retiring, for it is reported that he has now become a. financial power in Rumania and is backing many of the successful ventures of The Rumanian Government. It is also reported that he is actively en- gagged in negotiation for Russian oil concessions.
 Though he may have lost heavily Sir Basil Zaharoff is still a, wealthy man, a power in Europe, who putters aboAst his kitchen making wonderful salad dressings and then meets dip Iomats secretly and makes agree nnents that must shape the course of the world.

SEEK ANOTHER WOMAN
IN JERSEY TRAGEDY
Police Now Looking for Alleged
Admirer of Murdered
Preacher.

Now Brunswick, y. j.. Sept. zo.-A
new theory. that a woman who thue
far has not figured IN the mystery
may have murdered the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall. rector Of the Episcopal
Church OF 81. John the Evangelist.
and his choir \leader. Mrs. Eleancr
Reinhardt Mills, is being investigated
this afternoon.
The injection OF this woman into the
case may explain the failure OF Som
erset and Middleeex counties authort-
ties to make arrests, although since
Sunday they have been promising
them and today again predicted quick
developments.
jealousy is the motive which detec-
tives believe may have prompted the
crime. Her identity Is closely hidden,
she is said 20 be a resident OF New
Brunswick, and though not a member
OF DR.. Halls church. 10 have been "a
regular attendant at services there.
According TO the latest theory, which
may eliminate "the woman and a man"
whom the detectives have mentioned
so frequently as suspects, this uniden-
t:fied woman was infatuated with the

him from a distance, however, and de-
tectives say they have found no one
who ever saw tho minister and her
together except when he shook her
hand after service in the church.
Investigators believe the woman was
| infuriated when she found there was
an attachment between DR.. Hall and
the thirty -four-year-o choir singer,
and that the two had been meeting for
at least three years. Goaded by her
discovery. the woman. the detectives
reason. followed the two Thursday
evening and became so enraged that
she committed the double crime. A
| pistol believed to be that used in the
murder. and a wonlan's bloody hand
kerchief wAe found yesterday near
where the bodies were discovered.
I'VE expect an arrest surely today.
said Joseph E. Stricken, prosecutor OF
| Middlesex county, today.
I'VE have TO proceed with caution.
he declared. Although the victims
lived in this county. their bodies were
found in an adjoining county, Somer-
set. Officials Of the two counties are
