QUESTION OF WHETHER
ROBIN HOOD REALLY
LIVED IS IN DISPUTE

There are plenty Of undisputed his
torical facts concerning the events
of the Twelfth Century in England.
Experts who conducted the research
work in connection with the prepara-
ton for the making OF the new Doug
las Fairbanks screen sensation,
douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood"
a United Artists release coming to
the Iris and America theaters start
ing Friday. found a wealth Of intense
" interesting data relative to the do
inEs. and customs OF the
people who lived in the greatest age
OF chivalry.
There was assembled quite enough
material for creating a truly remark
able historical background for the en-
actment of h dramatic as
soclate- with the name OF Robin
Hood known to this generation as
only n traditionary English hero. He
is said. by some, to have been born
at Locksley. Nottnghamshire, about
the year OF 1850.
In the more thrilling days OF his
career. he lived in the wodos with his
band, either for reasons of his own
Or because he was really outlawed.
Ills uAullAN btAllE fAlAtAlN ~ AWboA
Forest and Barnsdale in Yorkshire.
The most generally accepted theory
Is that he was the Earl Of Hunting
don incognito by circumstances over
which he had no control. He was
generous to a fault as well as adven-
turous to n dangerous degree, for he
robbed the rich to give TO the Door,
His companions were Fr!ar Tuck.
Little John. VIII Scarlet. Allan-a-
Dale and George-a-Green.
Many diligent Inquiries have been
made to ascertain whether or no. the
parsonage known as Robin Hood ever
a a real existence, but without po-
sitive results. The story of his life is
purely legendary and the theories in
regard to him have never been ad-
vanced beyond hypothesis. However,
It is exceedingly probable that such a
man lived in the Twelfth Century
and that most Of the exploits ascrib-
cd to him were of his own volition.
although 1t is likely the deeds OF
heroes of less popularity were also
associated with his name. The noble
descent which bestowed upon him by
common consent may be the result
of the medieval idea hat the great
virtues existed only in the persons
of gentle birth.

HE FAILS To WIN
SWEETHEART
FROM DOPE
Man Weeps in Court as He
Tells of Plans to Wed :"
Drug Addict.

PHILADELPHIA, May 12.-With
tears streaming down his cheeks.
William H. Vile, a chemist and
former teacher in the South Phila-
delphia High School, told in Central
Station of his efforts to reclaim
his childhood sweetheart from the
drug habit.
Vile recital was made before
Magistrate Coward when he and
the young woman, Linda Martin,
twenty-five years old, were ar
raigned. Miss Martin was arrested
under the name of Elsie de We're.
II want to marry her and take
her from this city, that has been
her ruination. to my home at Sea
Isle City," Vile said. 81 love her
and I want to make good woman
out of her, and the only way to
do so is to separate her from her
old associates" -
Although she gave the name OF
De We're when arrested the girl
was recognized by detectives as a
former drug addict. Two years ago
she was arrested on a shoplifting
charge, and while in court told a
pitiful tale Of being a dupe of the
dope ring of which "IzZy'' Gins
ers. Ginsburg, who was denounced
in open court, was arrested later
and is now serving a long sentence
for drug peddling.
1t was the efforts of the done
kings to have Ginsburg paro1ed
that led to the expose of the mar
cotic traffic in the city by Judge
Monaghan. Ginsburg's parole was
subsequently revoked. Linda Mar
tin meanwhile had been committed
to an institution for curing addicts
and was only recently released.
Prior to the hearing in the DO
lice court the couple were called
before Captain Van Horn. The girl
admitted knowing Ginsburg and
denied she had used narcotics since.
when / was fifteen years old,
Ginsburg taught me the drug
habit" she said. Later he forced
me to sell the stuff"
Wile's wife died in 1918. He had
known Linda Martin from infancy,
and when he learned of her arrest
as drug addict he decided to care
for her following her release and
planned to marry her.
Il remember her as a little child

%tW her grow up 70 be q high

was constantly fighting to keep her
from returning to her old asso-
clates and habits. If l can marry
her and take her to a new environ
ment, / feel sure she can hreak
this dreadful habit"
When the girl was arrested she
dashed into an apartment house
at Tenth and Clinton streets where
Vile lived, and threw a PACKAGE
believed to contain drugs. behind a
sofa. Vile is not suspected as a
drug seller or addict, but was held
because detectives found a revolver
in his possession.

BRITISH PROFIT
BY POUND
RATE
Flood Of SoVereigns Sent Here
Keeps U. S. interest
Rates High.
BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH,
international News Service.

u 4 i =
international News Service.
High interest rates in United
States and correspondingly low
rates in England have brought a
flood of millions Of British pounds
to this country, to be converted into
dollars and offered on the American
loan market, it was learned today
from official government sources.
England, with the pound sterling
at $40 sometime ago also con
verted a tremendous sum into dol
lars for deposit in New York banks
to cover extensive purchases of cot
ton, wheat and other raw products
later in. the season. BY taking
advantage Of the exchange, q con
siderable advantage was gained.
Great Britain also made heavy
deposits in United States to cover
payment OF interest on the British
debt, again benefltting by the ex
change rate.
Hard to Stabilize.
To these three factors are at
tributed the decline Of the pound
exchange rate from about $40 t
$500. Officials regard sterling 81
staple, except for possible slight
fluctuation in the near future, un
less far-reaching political events OF
the proportions of the German
French break, occur.
While England is regarded as or
a firm financial basis Officials
pointed out that exchange will not
be narrowed to q close range OF
fluctuation until the government
puts currency on an entirely gOlc
basis.
The decline OF the sterling ex
change mayahave a tendency to cut
American exports to Britain slight
~ since the pound will not have al
great AZ buying power, but this II
not regarded as sufficiently ex
tensive to be serious.
Figures available today showed
in the first three months Of 1872;
capital loan issues in England
totalled 9Os867 900 pounds agaanst
267 ,843, 900 pounds for the same
period of 1922. Financial experts
pointed out that this means Great
Britain has caught UP with hel
domestic and clonial accumulated
requirements for capital.
Interest Rates Low.
The large accumulation of CAPT
tai has driven interest rates to g
low point. Fairly long time loans
may be obtained in London al
lower rates than are demanded foI
call loans money in this country
For this reason the enormous sun
was sent to the United States fol
investment. 2~
Government officials said the
lower interest rates in London were
believed to be temporary. A note
of caution is pervading business o.
that country, similar to the wave Of
anti-inflation sentiment sweeping
the United States just now as bust
ness experts are endeavoring tt
bring about a normal, permanent
condition of prosperity.
With the expected trade improve
ment and revival in Great Britain
heavy demands will be made or
capital and officials declare interes
rates will rise. The normal interest,"
rate in London, however, is con
siderably less than that in thu
United States.
