PRINCELY IMPRESSIONS
"Even a Prince 1* more
comfortable and would rather
be dressed in knickers than
in regal, evening clothes,"
Mies de I.anty, who helped
entertain the Prince in New
York. says.
"The Prince appears lo be
most interested in athletics.
He talks of his polo ponies
as though they were human
beings
"He's not handsome but
cute. I think lie's shy—al
most innocent. He fust sits
and looks at you—and makes
you do all the talking.
"He doesn't like publicity
I and was happy when nobody,
! escept those !n his party,
knew who he was.
"Even the cjjeck girl*
laughed at him when his
knowledge of American

"A Trines Is wonderful and
there is something romantic !

with Miss Virginia da Lanty. a tot
dancer, whom he had mot In Lon

Metcalfe, his elds and secretary,
the actress raveulsd today.
While the Prince frolicked, I,on*
Island society thought he was
kept from Ita presence by an acci
dent to hln motor ear. He flitted
shout the gay spots of Greenwich
Village, looked Into queer shops
hnd rubbed royal elbows with other
excitement seekers, without ones
being recognised.
It accounts for one of the even

Long Island during his historic
visit to New York.
The tale would have been suc

I inont but before they arrived the
' missing pocketbook was found on
the floor of Miss de Lanty's apart
ment. behind a radiator, where It j
had dropped when Metcalfe took]
off his topcoat.
Had the pocketbook not dropped!
from the secretary's pocket, thin j
Intimate story of the prince s even
ing out might never have been told.
"I was presented to the Prince
two years ago in London when 1
was playing in 'Tip Top' with the
Duncan alsars." telle Miss de
Lnnty. her dark bobbed hair shak
ing a gesture and her transparent
huzel eyes flashing, "we taught
him to relish the great American
breakfast ilfsh of ham and eggs.
"Then he came to visit New York
and I had no hope of seeing him
again. But unexpectedly, at a din
ner party on* evening, I met Mujor
Metcalfe, whom I also had known
In London.
“JUST TOO FUNNY
FOR WORDS”
“Shortly after I attended a polo
game nnd after the contest the
Prince, Mnjor Metcalfe and I drove
In to New York. We deoided to
make the rounds of the Greenwich
Village places. The Prince had
several engagements on Long Is
land with people prominent, hut
he said 'I guess I will have to use
a broken-down car as an excuse to
remain in New York this evening.'
And hs did.
"We went to my apartment and
then started the tour. Instead of
taking the J’rlnee'a private cor,
which would ho easily recognized,
we went in a. taxclb with reporter*
and guarding detectives on our
trail. But our taxicab driver was
successful in losing them and they
never again caught up with us.
"The Prince loked Just too funny
for words In his little disguise
mustache. We wont from place to
plaes but nobody suspected the
Identity of the Prince. He gave me
hie wallet containing ell hie money
end I paid oil,tho hills and gave
the tips Tht Prince doesn't know
much about American money. H*
thought half-dollars were dimes.
"He doesn’t tulk much. He Is
shy and unassuming. He le a good
listener though and ask* many
questions that lead to long explana
tions. The Prince called me
‘Dutch* because of my haircut. 'I
think you're awfully cute,' ho told
me, and when I asked him *wKy'
he replied, 'Oh, Just because—you
look like a Brownie.'
"When he was at my apartment
he was very much interested in a
number of hats In my collection.
He eepeclally liked a small, blue
one—l guese that Is his favorite
color.
"I danced a lot wMth the Prince.
He likes a fox-trot best, but ho is
a miserable walUtr. And I think
Major Metcalfe Is a far better
dancer and mure Itnereetlng. 'Your
lips tell me no-no, but there's yes
yes in your eyas' is thn favorite
piece of tnualc with the Prince,
lie asked me to l|um it many
times.’ 1
LIKES AMERICAN
BOYS BEST
The Prince puld a high compli
ment to American girle. "I think
there are many more attractive
mid ivell-dn*»ed girls lu America
limn in England, hut there are
more really beautiful glrla lu Eng
land." Mlsa do Lardy quotes him
us saying. She Is 20, and comes
from Los Angelos.
"I don't think the Prince Is
handsome," the actress confessed,
"but be is cute and Interesting and
would be even if he weren't a
l'rlncs, but 1 like Major Metcalfe
batter. American boys, however,
are far more thrilling than either
of them.
JTor all her thrilling experience,
Mias de Lanty ie aad.
Her real boy friend—the one to
whom she ie engaged—le out of
the city. Hhe knows he will be

Collision Here
Trolley Runs Wild Down
Summerville Hill
NONE OF INJURED
IS SERIOUSLY HURT
Runaway Car Smashes Into
Another After Mad Race
Down Walton Way
Six white people and two colored,
including one white women and
one colored, were injured Wednes
day afternon, when a cer of tho
Augusta-Aiken Railway & Electric
Corporation ran wild on Walton
Way, after getting beyond control
of the operator, and collided with
another ear juet west of Fifteenth
Btrest.
The injured are:
Mr*. Evans Redfern, 1640 Waltoa
Way; John Cozart, 1743 Elba
Street) Willie James, 708 Harrison
Street; John Johnson, colored, 1417
Harper Street; Salome Smith, col
ored, 2543 Mt. Auburn Street; L.
W. Kelly, 1245 Ellia Street; C. J.
Bachelor, operator on Car No. 214;
L. B. Furtick, oporator on Car
No. 208.
Practically all of the injuries
consisted of minor bruises and
none are considered serious.
BRAKES WENT WRONG
ON TOP OF HILL
C J. Bachelor, operator of the
east-bound car, the one that went
wild, wild something went wrong
with the brakea Just nbovo the Par,
fridge Inn, but that he had It fair
ly well under control until some
passenger pulled the trolley off.
Net having any brakes and the
disconnection of the trolley robbing
him of further resistance by cut
ting off the power, the motorjnan
was forced to merely stand nnd
ring hie bell violently to warn
pedestrian* off the track and hope
for the best. In the mad race, the
trolley was lost.
L. B. Furtick, operator on the
west hound car, No. 208, said lie
saw the wild car coming toward
him, cars in both directions being
forced to uee the same track due
to city paving work In progress on
Walton Way, and that he knew It
was wild. He immediately revers
ed his car. This action by Opera
tor Furtick le believed to have pre
vented the accident from being of
a much more serious nature, since
there would probably have been
several deaths had he proceeded to
meet 314 or had he remained
standing. As It was, tho personal
injuries were slight, though Mr.
Purtlek'e car was badly damaged
Beyond losing its trolley, the wild
car was not seriously damaged.
The collision happened Just west of
Fifteenth Htreet and tho impact of
the two cars striking 1* propelled
Furtlck'e car nearly to Y’oung
Htreet.
Officials of tho company are
commending the two operators on
their coolness and presence of snlnU
In tho harrowing situation.
Another Interesting fact In con
nection with the accident comes to
light In tho report that l'olic* Offi
cer Walter Holley, who was on
duty in tho tower at Walton Wiiy
and Fifteenth Street at the time,
probably averted more serious con
sequences by his presence of miml
In throwing the signal to stop traf
fic on Fifteenth Htreet. Mr. Hol
ley noticed the car coming and
realised that something was wrong.

PROPOSED CHANGE
IN AIKEN-AOGUSTA
ROUTE DISCUSSED
AIKEN, 8. C.—C. H. Moretleld,
engineer of the Btate Highway
Commission, was in Aiken Tues
day afternoon, meeting with tho
County Commissioners. Messrs.
11111, Whitlock and Y'aun, for a dis
cussion of the proposed change In
the route of the Alken-Augustu
highway. The commissioners and
Mr. Moretleld went over the pro
posed routes for a second time, but
no definite decision has as yet been
reached.
One of the proposed plans, and
that which seemingly meets with
general approval, Is that the high
way from Columbia, through Aiken,
to Augusta, should enter Aiken at
York Htreet, turning into ltich
land Avenue at the First Baptist
Church coiner and following itlch
land Avenue through tho city,
sklrklng the edge of the Highland
Burk golf link* and going straight
to and by Kalinin llill, tlelng the
present Alken-Augusta hlghwuy at
the north end of Wurrenville.
From Wurrenville the highway ;
would under this plan go strulghi
to Langley, At Bath It would go
behind the school house Instead of
In front, us at present, thus eli
minating the dupgerous curve
around tho fence of ihe baseball
ground. It would strike the pre
sent road aguln at what is known
as Death's Dip, the railroad cross
ing at Johnstown, over which it is
proposed to build a bridge, thence
through Clearwater and over Htorm
Branch und Shultz Hill to Augusta.
This route, it is understood, would
lessen the distance between Aiken
und Augusta by about two miles.
On the other hail'd there Is some
dissatisfaction expressed with this
proposition by property owners who
feel that their property values
would decrease by reason of the
removal of the rond. This Is es
pecially true In Aiken since city
council lias ben usked to make East
llayne Avenue a one-way street.
Various citizens aro suggesting
that the routo through Aiken be
along Y'ork Street to Park Avenue,!
thence through the city as at pre
sent, striking the Alken-Augusta
highway either at the end of Hayne
Avenue or ut the end of Rlchlund
Avenue.
CONSIDER SAFETY
AND CONVENIENCE
It is underetod, however, that the
federal government will not give
any money toward tho road It tho
route through the city leads through
East Hayne Avenue, as this thor
oughfare is very narrow.
It Is further understood that,
whatever route is taken, In pass
ing through Glovervllle, where the
road i* very narrow, arrangements
will be made to widen It, removing
the houses hack on one side to
made an adequate roadway. Tills
is a very dangerous place at pre
sent.
Hafoty as well as convenience Is
being taken Into consideration in
deciding upon the new route. The
railroad crossings must be elimina
ted in order to secure federal aid
for the highway, and even if the
crossing is mndo a mile from Aiken
oh at present, an overhead brldgu
will be built, nnd, as has been
stated, tho crossing at Johnstown
will ho bridged.
At Ktlefeltown there Is strong
opposition to the proposed change
in route, the property owners there
contending that their property
holdings will he decreased in viilau
should the rond ho moved.
There is another proposal, and
that to run the highway In front
of the Highland Park Hotel nnd
through the woods, skirting the.
Highland Bark golf links, or pass-j
ing through them, Joining the pre- 1
sent highway at the crossing a mile!
from Aiken.
A definite decision U yet to he I
reached, but thereafter work wi'l
shortly be begun on the new high
way.
ARM GUT OFF WHEN!
HE FALLS BENEATH!
COAST LINE TRAIN!

giving his place of residence as
New York, was brought to Augustu
Thursday morning on Atluntlc

minister ftrst aid.
Dr. Hensley returned to Barn
well Thursday afternoon.
