SULTAN OF SULU MAY Be LAST
OF HIS line TO SIT ON THRONE
AS HIS INFLUENCE is WANING

JOLO, Sulu, P. l., June P.-Ihe
power and influence of the Sultan OF
Sulu isn't what it used to be. And the
present trend of things makes it pro-
bable that His Royal Highness Hadji
Muhammad Jamalul Kiram will be
the last of the line.
Two factors seem to mitigate against
there ever being a successor to Hadji,
who is nearly go years old. The first
is the gradually increasing invasion Of
the white races, which has reduced the
sphere of his authority and influence.
The second is that Hadji has no chill
dren.
Once the sultans had a vast domain.
They ruled from Singapore to Bohol,
an era larger than Mexico. But other
civilizations drifted in. Eventually the
Mohammedan rulers became rulers
only in religious and social matters.
Now domination in these realms is
dwindling.
At present the sultan's income is
little more than $4,000 year. He gets
$500 from the Mohammedans of Bor
neo and about $500 more from the
Philippine government !. The remainder

SAINT T-LAZARE PRISON
LOSES WOMEN CONVICiTS

PARIS (P)-The notorious Saint
Lazare prison for women, 800 years
old, has ceased to be a penitentiary.
Women conyicts hereafter will serve
their sentences at the Fresnes prison,
outside Paris, where there is light
and air, a nursery for children, and
remarkable in that it has two COM
pletely equipped bathrooms
Saint-Lazare continues to be a
house of infamy. There are kept
women of i'll repute, held for viola
tions of police and medical regula-
tions. There also, as in the past,
will be held women arrested for
Investigation or held for trial.
The prison at one time was a
leper refuge. 1t has been monas-
terry, palace and fortress. 1t was
besieged during the revolution by a
hungry mob bent on seizing provisions
stored there by the monks.
Repeatedly it has been planned TO
raze the old prison and replace 1t
with modern structure but the
cost has been prohibitive.

There were no official calls, aside
from a brief visit to the British

KINGS AND CABBAGES
BLOCK COVENT GARDEN

LONDON tPt-Kings and cabbages
have caused several traffic 0lockades
in the vicinity of Covent- Garden opera
house since the opening of the grand
opera season which was marked by
the most distinguished audience since
before the war.
The congestion of automobiles, many
of which belonged to royalty, was such
that the traffic authorities were COM
PEELED to take measures to remedy the
situation by issuing strict orders that
as long as the season lasts the crates
and boxes with fruit and vegetables Of
the Covent Garden market must be
stacked in other quarters so as not to
interfere with vehicles.
On the opening night with "Rosen-
kavalier" as the bill, Princess Mary and
Visconntess Lascalles arrived in one OF
the royal cars, and the police had much
difficulty in making a way through the
crowds which had assembled to greet
the opera goers in all their finery. The
car of King Manuel of Portugal, ac-
companied by the queen, was also sur
rounded by SightSeers as his limousine
reached Bow street and the Covent
Garden market sheds adjacent to the
Royal opera house where David Cop
perflcld saw his first pantomime.

Trail Bishop For
Nineteen Months
To Present Medal

BERLIN, June A R. DR..
John L. Nuelsen, bishop of the
American Methodist Episcopal
church, in charge Of the central
European area, has had the
honorary cross of the German
Red Cross trailing behind him
for 10 months without knowing

DR.. Nuelsen was finally locat-

The German consul general
there was instructed by the gov
ernment to bestow it t@upon him
formally.
Bishop Neulsen has been an
outstanding figure in relieving
distress in central Europe and
Russia since the war. The Ger
man government decided to be-
stow upon him the honorary
cross of the first class with rib
bon" It is the highest decora-
ton in the German republic.
The diploma granting the
decoration was issued in No
vember, 1925. Bishop Nuelsen
was then in the United States.
The German embassy at Wash
ington tried to locate him in
New York and Cincinnati, but
the bishop moved too fast and
had always just left when the
decoration reached the German
conSulS.
The honorary cross was re-
turned to Berlin and eventual

AN Roads Lead to The PresidenRs Summer Home
COOLIDGE WILL PASS VACATION
IN THE MIDST OF MANY SCORES
OF ABANDONED Mines in Hills

CUSTER, S. D., June 4 CR-Almost
a score of abandoned gold mines
lie in the Black Hills Of South
Dakota within a 20-mile radius of the
game lodge where President Coolidge
will vacation this summer.
The rotting timbers of forsaken
shafts, the little piles Of crushed
yellow ore and prospectors caves
now overgrown with brush and
weeds mark the grave of many a
prospector's hope, once keyed to
expectation of a bonanza.
The remarkable success of the
Homestake gold mine at Lead ac-
counts, paradoxically, for the multi
tude of abandoned mines. The Home
stake made big money from the
outset, and for SO years it has
produced $6,0O0,O0O or more in gold
each year.
It's success made promotion Of
other mines easy and most of these
ventures failed long since, while the
Homestake continues monotonouSly to
get So or 81 in gold from each ton
of low-grade ore it treats, and to
pay 81 of that in dividends to
stockholders.
A little way north of the summer
white house is the old Ivanhoe mine,
into which $5oO,OOO was emptied with
out profit.
Just outside the state park is the
Ideal gold mine, promoted by
indianapolis capital, which paid good
returns until the vein was lost, many
years ago, and then cost a pretty
penny in a futile effort to find
| the lode again.
! The Spokane mine, the st. Elmo
mine, the keystone mine and many
more bear names traditional in Hills
history, but few survive as money
makers.
! The Homestake mine once belonged
| to the mother of William Randolph
Hearst, but is now generally owned,
and is reported to be the only indus
trial enterprise in the Dakotas with
stock which is listed on the New
/ York exchange
/ 1t also is the only mine in the
Hills which uses the cyanide process
I OF refining ore in addition to the
/ anaalgam process, thus obtaining some
| 10 per cent of gold content which
the amalgam treatment will not
extract.

PARIS AUTO EXHAUST
KILLS FAMOUS TULIPS

PARIS, June 4 lA).-The famous Tu-
ileries tulips have bloomed for the last
time.
They are victims Of the exhaust of
automobiles in the rue de Rivoi.
The bulbs were presented to the city
of Paris by Dutch growers five years
ago, and were planted in the Tuileries
gardens, an ideal setting for their
masses of gorgeous colors. But each
year they dwindled and it was found
that the prevailing westerly winds blew
on to them a low wave of mephitic gas
from passing automobiles, affording an
additional proof of the deleterious eff
fects of the growing number of auto
mobiles on ne atmosphere of Paris.
