VANDERBILT JR
Is FIGHTING TO
REGAIN WEALTH
Grinds Out Stories on Factory
Basis in Small Kitchen
cite Apartment

New York, Feb. 5.--LR-Doing his
own cooking, Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Jr., is grinding out manuscripts in
a tiny Fifth Avenue apartment as
part of his fight to win back wealth.
He is $3,OOO,OOO in debt.
His tools are portable typewriter,
shcafs of copy paper and pocket
full of pencils. His work shop is his
home---a two-room kitchenette apart
ment on the seventh floor rear of
TAI Fifth Avenue, over toy shop.
His neighbOrs are artists, usicians,
photographers and the like.
While the former newspaper pub
Usher works day and night turning
out magazine articles and motion
picture scenarios, laborers are busy
across the street demolishing the ia
nous chateau of his grandmother
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Intends to Pay Every Cent
"I'm going to pay off every penny
! owe if it takes me SO years." Van
derbilt said. II am determined that
no one shall, lose a penny from hav-
ing trusted in me and my ventures
Vanderbilt may come into some of
the family fortune in time, but he
is not banking on that now. He has
cut his expenditures to the minimum
and is turning out stories on a fac
tory basis to a ready market.
His articles, he said, are bringing
him much more than his living ex-
penses and he is saving a substantial
margin toward settlement of his
obligations.
He is living alone. "It's quiet
here and can WRITE" he explained
Il save lots Of time by doing my
own cooking"
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1927-02-05

He told the story here in 1916
when the princess, whose love many
years before had been given to an
other, died. Putting down his violin
in an East Side cabaret where he was
playing, he revealed the princess
picture tattooed on his arm, and
wcpt. The tale he told was this:
Twenty years ago / met my prin-
cess. All my world was in my violin
until i saw her. She was the most
beautiful woman in all Europe. Kings
loved her. The night saw her first
she turned from King Leopold to
smile at me. Ten day laters, like two
gypsics, we stole from her palace in
the dead Of night, and took her to
my mothers hut in the mountains in
Hungary where | was born"
Came to America in 1905
Later they visited Yokonoma and
dwelt on the shores of the Nine. But
an Italian barrage agent at rail-
road station in Italy came between
them and Rigo came to America in
1905.
Here he enjoyed many successful
years playing in cabarets and vaude-
vile, but i'll times at least befell him
and he became dependent upon the
resources Of his wife who operated a
little tea shop. Madame Rigo, who
seven years ago was declared by the
Photographic Arts Society Of Amer
lea to be the most beautiful woman
in the United States, found the ven
turc discouraging, but persisted in
her attempt to exc out living for
her husband and herself. He was one
Of the attractions of "Little Hun
gary" popular east side cafe in
pre-prohibition days.

5 CONTENDERS
FOR NATIONAL
LEAGUE FLAG
Entire Complexion Of Circuit
Radically Altered Since
Last World Series

New York, Feb. 5.--R)-The Ma
tional League pennant today was
Tapping noisily before at least five
outstanding contenders in the gusts
Of midwintcr trade winds which have
blown IA million dollars worth of ball
players back and forth across the
baseball map.
The entire complexion of the cir
cult has been radically altered since
the Cardinals rose to the world series
triumph behind the broad shoulders
of Rogers Hornsby last October
Rogers himself has been caught in
the middle of 100000 player turn
over. while two other clubs, Pitts
burgh and Philadelphia, also have
called on new helmsmen, six teams
have shaken up the infields they at
tempted to bolster year ago, and
one club, the brooklyn Robins, has
prepared to enter the conflict with
virtually a new team.
Cardinals Lose Nothing
Observers here were inclined to
the opinion that the champion Card
inals had lost nothing in ;hlayer
strength by accepting infielder
frankie Frisch and Pitcher Jimmy
Ring from the Giants in exchange
for Hornsby. But they also pointed
out that only time would tell wheth-
CIR the loss of Hornsby has affected
the morale Of the team. The Card
inals still are looked upon as
powerful contender, for F'risch,
hustling, hard hitting second base
man, promises to make st. Louis
fans quickly forget Hornsby.
How the team will fare under the
direction Of it's new leader, Catcher
Bob OFarrell, is the chief spccula-
ton of the stove league. Critics
look for powerful opposition to the
Cardinals this year from the Pirates,
1925 winners. The Dreyfus aggrega-
ton is one Of the few clubs that
have not figured in outstanding play
err swaps this winter, but observers
believe the team made big stroke
in placing DOME Bush ut the tiller.
The dash Of this new leader, who re-
places Bill McKechnic, is expected
to supply the necessary spark for a
youthful squad Of unquestioned
power.
The Cubs, Reds and Giants loom
as the three other leading contenders.
The Phillies, finding a new leader
in Stuffy Mclnnis, have added Il
few new faces without seriously
threatening rival hopes.
While the Braves, under Dave Ban
croft, have been unable to make any
strengthening trades with other
major league clubs, they have an ag-
gressive club and a fine young pitch
ing corps.

January Cigarette
Tax Collections Are
Less Than Year Ago

Collections for the state cigarette
tax law t0talcd $14, 698.42 during Jan.
uary. 1927, as compared. with
$l6,908.26 for the same month year
ago, statement by State Treasurer
C. A. Fisher shows. II.
Gasoline tax collections as shown
by funds turned over to. the treab-
urcr by the state auditors office to-
tailed $4,000. In addition $689. 80 was
collected from persons who were de-
linqucnt in paying the old one-cent
tax at the time the new two-ccnt law
became effective. Collections for the
gasoline tax fund in January, 1926,
totaled $15,367.41.
That the state is doing q bigger
business than ever before is shown
by the fact that the treasurer's bal
ance sheet on January 81 showed
$9,215.27O.14 % compared . with
$7,166, 477.8O = year ago.

4-wheel Brakes Now
Standard on WHY'S
Knights, Whippets

The day of the four-wheel brakes
for cars in every price class is here
to stay, according to automotive ex-
perts who attended the national auto
mobile show at Grand Central
Palace, sNew York city, recently,
where the 1927 products were ex-
hibited. They declare that the day
is near when car not SO equipped
will not be considered standard.
In supporting this, argument the
experts point out that some Of the
largest American manufacturers
have adopted the four-wheel brakes
on all their models. Conspicuous
among these is Willys-Overland.
This company has adopted four
wheel brakes as standard equipment
on all 1927 models, which include
the Whippet, the new Whippet Six,
the Willys-Knight Great Six line
and the 40" Willys-Knight six
group.
A pace was set in the light four
classification by the company in
the adoption Of four-wheel brakes
for the Whippet when it was intro
duced last June. This feature struck
a responsive note, as is shown by
the sales records, and the makers
declare that the motor buyers have
come to a realization that four
wheel brakes. have become q neces-
sary safety factor in this day Of
heavy traffic, regardless Of the size
| or type OF car.
The Whippet brake drums are II
inches in diameter, larger than those
+; used on many light six cylinder cars.
Tests have shown that the Whippet
can be brought to a full stop in ten
feet for practically every ten miles
an hour the car is travelling.
The same type Of brake c0nstruc-
ton employed on the lighter Whip
pet is used in the four-wheel brakes
on the Whippet Six models. The
brakes on all models are mechanical,

GYPSY TR0UBADOUR, FAMED THROUGH
EUROPE QUARTER OF A CENTURY AGO,
PASSES AWAY VIRTUALLY UNATTENDED

New York, Feb. 5.-LP)--A Gypsy
troubadour who in u life Of romance
won the love of seven women-one Of
them Il princess--was mOurned today
by the wife Of his later years who
shared with him adversely and pain.
The smiles of high born ladies and
the light of kingly favor which shone
upon him when he was the favorite
of the courts of Europe near the
END Of the last century were not in
evidence at the last earthly appear
ance of Janos Rigo, called 1.-THE
Gypsy Violinist" and prince Rigo!"
When he died yesterday at the age
of 60, in ward room Of the French
hospital, his fame had dimmcd and
the charm Of his music had faded
Few even of those who once had
thrilled to his siren notes knew Of
his Illness and he passed away vir-
tually unattended except for his
faithful wife.
Married in 1919
She was the former Mrs. Casper
Emerson, Jr., former wife of a Phil
adelphia artist and daughter of Pro-
fessor John E. Hadley of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. Like other
women in the life Of the gypsy prince,
she. left her former husband for love
Of him. They were married in 1919.
The wandering wizard of the violin
was once the husband of princess.
She was Clara Ward, daughter of a
millionaire Detroit ship owner and
wife of Prince. Joseph de Caraman-
Chimay Of Belgium. They met in a
Paris restaurant in 1897, where the
swarthy maker Of melodies looked
deep into her eyes and played.

M'CARL REFUSES TO BE
GOAT FOR new DEBTS.
QUESTION
Of F|C|ENCY
UP To D. c.

Responsibility for the mourning
of a deficiency to meet the pay
ment Of salaries to Police Court Of
ficers and the payment of jurors
will not be assumed by him. Comp.
troller General McCarl today notified
the District Commissioners.
IT the Police Court, crippled by
the failure OF the second deficiency
appropriation bill, is to continue TO
function until new funds become
available July /, the responsibility
for the deficiency must be assumed
by the District Commissioners, Nc
Carl stated.
Whether the Police Court, Dis.
trict of Columbia, may incur obliga-
tons during the fiscal year 1927
beyond the amount appropriated for
the fiscal year, thereby creating a
deficiency with the hope that the
Congress will eventually make ap.
preparations to cover the same, does
not present a matter for the decision
of this office, but is the respon-
sibility of the administrative of.
ficers." the ruling continued.
Request for authority to incur the
necessary deficiency to keep the
court in full operation was made by
the District Commissioners at the
plea of Judge Gus A. Schuldt, presid-
ing judge at the court, who declared
that law enforcement would be
seriously crippled if the funds are
not made available.
