ON ARTS EXPOSITION

PARIS, March 5.--The city o1
Paris finds itself 100000 francs
richer from the direct proceeds OF
the Exposition of Decorative Arts.
Fifty million more francs than in
the corresponding period OF 1924
was taken in by the aIitobusses,
street cars and subways during the
exposition. A good share OF this
will find its, way into the municipal

This is contrary to expositions
Of the past. In 1873. the city fur
nished 100000 francs as her share
in the exposition of that year and
only received 100000 francs in re.
turn.
Then again, in 1900, the city

result of survey of installment

direction In which he says: This
type of buying has recently SO
greatly increased In volume that It
has become not only an important
influence in the direction of many
commodities, but it now constitutes
a real factor in banking"
The report points out that along
with the development of installment
buying and to a considerable extent
preceding it, there have been tre-
mendous increases in savings bank
deposits, life insurance, home build
Ing and security purchases. Saw
ings bank deposits have increased
from $14,672. .000. 900 in 1920 to $2S,.
134 100000 in 1926. Life insurance
in force increased from $35, ,091 .000,-
600 in 1920 to an estimated total OF
$72 ,00o. 900. 900 at the end OF 1926.
Total wages and salaries paid by
all branches Of industry increased
from $50, ,000, ,0O0,000 to $40, 900, ,0o0,-

MEXICO CITY'S EX-POLICE
CHIEF TAKEN BY DEATH

Away from the land of his fore
fathers, forgotten by his friends,
feeble and aged, Francisco Chavez
(Don Pancho), ex-police chief of
Mexico City, during President Vic
toriano Huerta's regime, was buried
in San Antonio Tuesday afternoon.
He died last Sunday after living
ten years in exile in San Antonio.
He came here for refuge, when
exiled from Mexico following the
downfall of President Huerta.
His wife. Sonora Rosa Venegas de
Chavez alone, caressed and nursed
him until the last.
REAPPOINTED CHIEF.
Francisco Chavez, Don Pancho, I"
as he was better known by his
friends, came into the limc-light
when he was appointed chief Of po-
lice of the City Of Mexico, by Prcsi-
dent VictorianO Hucrta.
In those days, it is said, Mexico
was undergoing terrific wave of
crime. Assaults, hold-ups, murders,
robberies and assassinations were COM
mitted every day throughout the city
and panic and fear reigned among
the inhabitants of the Mexican CAPT.
tai.
1t was not until shortly after his
appointment. as chief of police that
the wave crime was checked.
Previous to his appointment as chief
of police, Don Pancho, had served
in the Mexican police force for near
" 20 years. lie started as patrol
man in his early youth.
He is said to have been acquainted
with every underworld character of
Mexico and to have known every
rendezvous. 1t was don Pancho"
who built up the highly efficient detec-
tive service among the criminals that
functioned so well that no crime was
committed in Mexico without his
knowing the identity Of the criminal,
it was said.
C0LORFUL LIFE.
Don Pancho's personality is describ-
ed surrounded by legend with the
most picturesque and colorful details.
1t is said to have been his custom
to make night explorations into the
underworld in the City of Mexico,
and to have conducted Investigations
and arrests unaided.

CAROL CHANGES
/ HIS NAME To
SCARLAT :
Former Crown Prince Seen
4 Daily in Company Of
n Uragda Lupesco.

MILAN, Jan. J.-GP)-Former
Crown Prince Carol Of Rumania, who
renowned his right of succession to
the throne apparently at the call of
love, is to be known in the future as
Scarlat Mondstireanau. At least that
il the name, taken from one of his
estates in Rumania, appearing on the
passport he has just received from
Bucharest.
Carol is still at the hotel where
Nine. Magda Lupesco, his auburn
haired blue-eyed enamorata is stay
ing. Although having separate apart
ments. they are almost constantly in
each others company, taking their
meals together and slipping out
through the servants entrance for mo-
tor rides.
Magda is reputed to be IS years
old. She is less than medium height,
and wears her striking clothes effec-
lively. She is credited with trying
to obtain a divorce from her husband,
who is said to be a Rumanian army
officer.
A local paper publishes an inter-
view with Prince Nicolas. Carols
brother, who said he desired to cor
rect the press statement that Princess
Helen, Carols wife, was threatened
with blindness. He explained that the
princess was very shortsighted. but
that her sight was not threatened.
Queen Mary, of Rumania, it was
stated, is coming here on her way to
attend the funeral of Queen Mother
Margherita, Of Italy.
Carol also may attend the cere-
mony.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-05

On one occasion, it is said, police
raided notorious cafe, in Colonia
de la Bolsa, the underworld quarters
of Mexico and nabbed several women
and criminals. Don Pancho was
among them, while in one of his pri-
vatc investigations and was also ar
rested by the police. His identity
was not revealed until he was about
TO be jailed.
And like grandfather telling lis
children stories of by gone days. and
to break the mOnotony of his sad life
in ostracism. the old chief of police
frequently sought the company of
strangers in San Antonio and told
them with colorful details. his glories,
adventures and laurels won, in his
long service in the police force of
Mexico.
