Elections Committee Called to
Study Hoidale's Charges of
Election Irregularities.

By the Associated Press.
Chairman Shortridge today called
meeting of the Senate Elections Com
mittee for this afternoon to take up
the contest brought by Einar Hoidale
against Senator Schall Republican, of
Minnesota).
Hoidale, Democrat, opposed Schall
in 1880 He is asking that the seat
held by Schall be declared vacant on
account of alleged election irregu-
larities
Shortridge told newspaper men Schall
had submitted an answer to Hoidala's
petition, contending the charges were
insufficient to warrant further inquiry
by the committee.
In view of this, Shortridge said, the
committee will decide whether to dis
miss the contest or whether to ask
Hoidale to submit a supplementary Pc
tition giving more specific allegations

Out of the dust and confusion Of
the crash that followed Krueger's sui
eide, a picture Of !, the man has
emerged. Each day the outline grows
holder, more details are filled in. The
spectral figures loom against vari-
ETY. Of amazing background:
Kreuger on a little island Off Swe-

A calculating Kreuger with plate
and acid turning out bogus issues of
Italian government bonds to defraud
the trusting Swedish government or
the trusting security buyers OF the
United States. -
Directly after his death reports Of
Kreuger's trickery were broadcast to
the world. One was that the Swedish
consul in Paris had refused to certify
the death; that wax figure and not

were still coming from Sumatra for

Secret Life Of Kreuger Exposed

One Of the Swedish investigators Of
Kreuger's business and private con-
duct has said:
"We are going from one surprise
to another. The more definite our in
vestigations become, the stranger the
personality of Kreuger grows. We all
knew him personally, but we are only
discovering him now" 's
The investigators have learned that
there were many parties with women
and wine on the little Swedish island
that Kreuger owned. Not wild parties
there was nothing Of the vulgarian
about Kreuger. The women were cul-
tured and refined.
In his Park avenue penthouse in
New York and in his Paris mansion
Kreuger gave similar parties. Quiet
informal affairs; never orgies.
But refined outwardly as the match
kings women friends appeared to be.
the Swedish police have found in his
effects evidence that many Of them
stopped to blackmail. They even
found evidence that on many occa-
sions Kreuger had met their demands.

Worlds Richest Man Is Frugal

The Nizam is described by his
friends as the only millionaire" in the
world
In the war he gave many millions
to the British cause, in recognition
Of which King George Of England gave
the Nizam the title of exalted high
ness" and allowed him to sign himself
faithful ally of the Emperor"
All the other 700-odd princes in India
have the title only of "his highness."
The Nizam comes from one of the
most illustrious families in India,
claiming descent on his fathers side
from Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq, the
first Khalifa of the Prophet Mo
manned, and on his mothers side
from the prophet himself.
The Nizam is one of the most ro-
mantle figures in the modern world.
He is just past forty-five. He has
eleven palaces in India and is reputed
to keep harem of fifty wives.
1t would be natural to assume that,
in view of the Nizam's staggering
wealth. he lived in the most luxurious
magnifcence. It is almost the oppo-
site.
America would call him 'stingy."
Indeed, he is known throughout India
as "The Miser Maharajah," for he
counts the pennies and lets the dol
lars take care of themselves.
Many stories are told of the Ma
harajah's penuriousness.
Certainly the Nizam himself is most
frugal in the matter of dress. He may
be seen any day at the palace in an
old faded and threadbare coat.

Worlds Greatest Swindler
Lived as Gay Libertine.

New Worthwhile big Chicago and
New York banks are trying to recover
millions of dollars they lost backing
War Kreuger, Swedish financial wiz
ard and the worlds greatest swindler,
facts have come to light revealing
his private life in New York, Paris
and elsewhere as that Of a libertine
who lived secretly in gayety as
he lived openly as hard-headed f.
nancial genius.
1t has been found that he had the
staggering sum of $16s,0O0,OO0 in per-
sonal debt and indirect liability
against his name when he committed
suicide in Paris in March. 1t has been
discovered that his books were falsi-
fed for eight years while he was
travelling around the financial centers
of the world raising enormous sums
from the most astute bankers. = 81
There will be little or nothing for
unsecured creditors, and scores of
millions handled by him appear
now to be irretrievably lost. e 9
Once a demigod to hero-wor-
shipping world, the silent, domin-
ating financier has been proved to
possess all the frailties of pleas
ure-loving mortals. + The Illusion
that he lived only to work, which he
cultivated so that he might .juggle
millions by forgery and bargaining,
has been exploded in an astounding
expose of his bluff.
Always the millions he was able
to display enabled Kreuger to pur-
chase the secrecy of the woman who
visited his secret hideaways.
And yet in the years during which
Kreuger fitted from country to coun-
try, from continent to continent, not
one of his women companions during
his lifetime gave the least public hint
of associations that seldom acquired
the dignity of true companionship.
