' SELLS TWILLS
Ibid Khan, of Amarillo, lex.,
May Some Day Become
Ruler of Asian Nation
AMAHILLO, Tex., July 22
Table waiting Russian lobles and
princesses may be common enough
in New York, but it remained for
Amarillo, Texas, to furnish the hot
female vendor of royal extraction.
For five years, on the same
corner, in summer and winter alike,
Ibid Khan bas sold hot tamales to
those of Amarillo’s populace that
care for the husk-wrapped concoc
tion. Ibid maneuvers his sales in
a manner befitting the Afghan
prince that he is. Formal and
aloof, this former British Army
lieutenant, by virtue of the excel
lence of his tamales, has built up a
“land-office” business.
On Sundays, he drives to one of
the churches here in a shiny auto
mobile, acquired through the sale
of countless thousands of tamales.
Though he is a Mohammedan, Ibid
never fails to attend services. But
hifc opinion of the Christian religion
is not a flattering one.
Christians indulge in drinking,
gambling, dancing in couples and
other evils, opines Ibid dasapprov
ingly.
His reason for not marrying is
not one- to cheer the heart of the
American girl, either.
Ibid samply and modestly states
he can’t find a woman to match his
high family.
But, he adds, byway of taking
some of the sting out of it, that he
must have a woman, not only his
equal, but of the same race.
Ibid’s brother, he says, is Kabler
Klan, ruler of Afghan.
Being next in line for throne,
Ibid was sent to Oxford when he
was 14. Preferring his personal
freedom, Ibid ran away and joined
the British Army. Eventually lie
became an officer in British India.
After his “stretch” in his majes
ty’s service, Ibid came to Alaska
and Canada, where he spent seven
years selling silks at 100 per cent
profit and tamales at $1 a tamale.
Next year Ibid plans to return to
Afghan and, if things are to his
liking, a former tamale vendor may
some day rule that country.

ber of towns in this section, will be]
placed on a substantial paying I
basis.
Under the terms of the agree
ment, which has been signed by the
parties at interest, a reorganiza
tion committee of seven is named,
with full authority to work out the
affairs of the company, to settle
all disputes which have resulted in
litigation and to determine on
what plan the company shall be re
organized and refinanced. Each
of the contending factions in the
company’s affairs is represented by
three members on this committee
and these six have decided upon
the seventh member.
IDENTIFY LOST MAN
APPEALS TO POLICE
SCHNECTADY, N. Y., July 22
A man of 50 years of evident cul
ture with no money or anything else
of value in his pockets walked into
police headquarters here last night
and asked aid in identifying himself.
He could not tell his name or how
he came to be in Schenectady.
Th e only possible clue to his iden
tity lay today in a label on his coat
which read: “Franklin Clothes, 528
Main street, Worcester, Mass.” He
is evidently unaccustomed to manual
labor and wears gold-bowed spec
tacles with tortoise shell rims, is
five feet, six and one-half inches
tall, weighs 183 pounds, has dark
complexion, smooth face and hazel
green eyes. He is suffering from
bloodshot feet, showing he walked
for a considerable distance.

terms in the legislature. He for
sometime seriously considered run
ning for the office of Public Ser
vice Commissioner, hence the delay
in making announcement of his
candidacy for representative.

NEW YORK, July 22—William
Randolph Hearst, in a letter to the

that Smith again run for governor
in the hope that he may lead the na

Gravel is being shipped here for

They have been married two
