Press Played Leading
Role In Expose Of
3 oil Scandals

Three times newspaper report
ers have proved a Nemesis for
the Fall-Sinclair- Doheny oil group.
A trade paper journalist in
Washington first brought to the
late Senator Robert NJ. LaFol.
lette information which led to the
Tea Pot Dome-Elk Hills investi-
cation.
This inquiry, in the hands of
Senator Thomas j. WALSH of
Montana, was making slow head
way when Edward F. MCGEE, an
Albuquerque, N. M, editor, blew
it wide open" with an expose of
sudden wealth acquired by former
Secretary Fall.
Now comes the exploit of Don
King, of The Washington Herald,
which has wrecked the present
Fall-Sinclair trial and probably
will result in further sensational
disclosures and indictments.

brother, Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany;
the double expulsion and exile of her
husband, the late King Constantine
of Greece; the dethronement of her
second son. George as king of the
Hellenes; and more recently the
death of her brother-in-law, King
Ferdinand of Rumania.
Crushed by the adversely and an
guish that the world visits even upon
queens, Sophie now goes despondently
about Europe, laying her head wher-
ever she is offered friendly pillow
by relatives or friends. She spends
much of her time in prayer and
meditation in Florence, Italy, where
her beloved "Tino' is buried.
Occasionally she goes unobserved
to Doom, Holland. to commiserate
with her brother, Wilhelm. On other
occasions she slips down, to Bucha-
rest to break bread with her throne
less son, George, and his consort, ex-
Queen Elizabeth Most of these trips
are financed by relatives or by Ameri-
can dollars acquired by Sophie's
brother-in-laW Prince Christopher,
upon the death of his wife, Mrs.
William Leeds of Cleveland, Ohio.
Far removed from the scene of her
former power and glory, and sup
ported by contributions from her adj
herents in Hungary, Empress zita Of
Austria is living in exile with her
eight children in the village Of Lee
quieto, Spain, in a house donated by
the king of SPAIN who is related to
the HapSburgs. Undaunted by re-
ports that there is little chance of
Hungary returning to a monarchy,
zita personally is tutoring and train
ing her eldest son, Otto, for the
duties and responsibilities of king.
zta, too, has tasted tragedy. After
two dramatic and unsuccessful at
tempts to regain the Hungarian
throne, her husband, Emperor Karl,
was deported to Madeira~ where he
died of physical exhaustion and a
broken heart. Widowed and penni-
less, zita lived beggarly existence
until the king of Spain came to her
rescue.
Another crownless, countryleSS queen
living the life of refugee is Queen
Amelie of Portugal, who witnessed
the assassination of her husband,
King Carlos, in 1908, and who two
years later was forced to flee for her
own life with her son, King Manuel
on the eventful day Portugal was
proclaimed republic. Queen Amelie
is now living quietly at Versailles,
supported largely by family relatives
and friends.

SINGER OUT OF JOB
ADVERTISES CONCERT

BERLIN H9-Albert Neumann, who
designates himself as former princely
court opera singer, but unfortunately
jobless for the moment" believes in
modern advertising methods for beg
gars.
Like hundreds of other German
beggars, he makes his living by sing
ing for aims in the courtyards Of
apartment houses in the better resi-
Dental districts. The usual stunt
consists in yelling some patriotic song
or touching love ballad at the top of
the voice, and then following it with
a stereotyped spoken appeal for aims.
Neumann, however, has added a
new touch to his trade" On the
morning of his concert" he delivers
a printed card to every apartment
within the area to be visited the
text of which is:
Highly honored sir, gracious lady!
CAS- former princely court opera
singer who is unfortunately jobless
for the moment I am compelled to
give a little concert on the court
yard of this apartment toward 1:30)
this afternoon. My first number will
be the Bass Aria from the Magic
Flute by Mozart,
Within These Sacred Halls
Further selections will be an
nounced from the courtyard
I'm the hope that you, too, will be
so gracious as to drop me your con-
tribution from the window, am,
Most devotedly respectful,

Bass Singer"

in-law, Emperor Alexander II, and
eliminating in the brutal murder of
her son and his entire family, is

Gently reported to be dying.
While the rest of the world has
given up her son and family as ire
futably dead, the venerable empress
insists they are still alive. At her

VIENNA, Australia P Dispersed
over Europe like the scattered jewels
of their shattered crowns, five throne
less queens are. living on the slender
charity of relatives and friends.
Once the proud mistresses of mil
lions of acres of land, the rulers of
greater millions of people, and the
possessors of untold millions of dol
lars, Dowager Empress Marie of Rus
STA, Empress zita of Austria, Queen
Sophie of Greece, Queen Amelie of
Portugal, and young Queen Elizabeth
of Greece are today without roof
or a bed they can call their own.
Their return to their own homes
would be sufficient to start an i'm
mediate revolution.
Saddest and loneliest of all five
fugitive queens is Empress Dowager
Marie of Russia, mother of the muir
dered Gar Nicholas, who, broken in
body and mind over the successive
tragedies she has borne, beginning

miser's hoard. The fact that the
foreman, E. White, picked UP a gold
sovereign from under a floorboard
has added weight to the rumor.
The old house, which is being torn
down to make way for an anluse-
ment resort, was built from stone
taken from the Old London bridge
by Mr.. Malcott, who built the MAJ
tional Gallery. Already mantelpieces
have been taken from the house
which are worth $500.
The workmen, moreover, are on
edge as a result of an atmosphere of
mystery which has seemed to sur
round the house. A day or so ago
they dashed from the house saying
they had seen a ghost. They found
afterwards that the "ghost" was
nothing more than a cat.

A special iron stove was constructed
for the new "Montgolfiere," in which
straw and wood were set on fire.

She rose to height of about $50

Visiting Opera Stars

stipulation of the terms Of contract
