8 C THE SUNDAY I1EE: OMAHA, JULY 9. 1922. Yankees Warned That Fakers Pose as Titleliolders Many Travelers Are Fleeced Iy Alleged Noblemen in French Hoitelries, IViirists Are Told. Parit, July 8. "Beware of duc and viromtfi, nol to mrntion duch (Met and marquises." It ha been proposed to placard that warning in all hotel which Americana and other traveler! fre- ?uent, especially hotels near the Jpera, following the arrest of Jose Terol, alias Vicomte Romero, whose career in hi?h society cost several guests of leading hotels huge sums of money and no little humiliation. The "vicomte" always registered at the hrst hotels. His charming personality and fascinating, although somewhat condescending manner, won him innumerable friends, espe cially among American society wom en. Ambitious mothers cultivated him. Ambitious fathers were induced to invite hm to dinner. He was un derstood to be eligible and an excel lent match. D.. I l- t rui nc wore Micaivvi s. The vicomte was shy and went out very little. He preferred to give parties in the large, expensive hotels he chose as his residence. He invit ed to his parties all the admiring young women, chaperoned by the ambitious mothers and the no less ambitious fathers. .' But someone mentioned the "sneak ers" to the police. The "vicomte" was considered ec centric, which added to his charms Every once in a while he would dis appear. It was especially commented upon that, during parties, he would excuse himself from the table and re main away, sometimes an hour or so, returning; suddenly and silently on his rubber-soled tennis shoes that ap peared so interestingly incongruous with evening clothes. But the police decided to investi gate the reason for the "sneakers." The "vicomte" spoke seven lan guages and was voted tremendously clever and observant. He failed to notice, however, that in the last three hotels in which he had been a "prom inent guest" a number of the servants moved from hotel' to hotel at the same time he did. Every time the "vicomte" gave a party thefts were reported in the ho tel in which the party was given. Nobody thought the coincidence stranger than the "vicomte." He made jests about it in all seven lan guages. He consoled the victims and suggested to the hotel management a system of burglar alarms. Police say weeks passed 'before they were able to catch the "vi iimte," who Is a Spanish confidence wan known to the police, who believe that with his arrest by detectives dis guised as servants, work has been be gun in the breaking up of a large gang of "nobility" crooks working first-class hotels in all the tourist eflters of Europe. They are eager to warn all travelers against them. French Ask as to Status of Germany's Government Paris, July 8. Is the German em pire a republic or is the German re public an empire? , . Le Matin wants to know. Accord ing to dispatches from Washington, that journal points out, Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt, German ambassador to the United States., in presenting his accrediting letter to President Hard ing, said: " Ihave been appointed through the confidence of the presi dent of the German empire and of the German government." To which Mr. Harding replied: '"I am pleased to receive from" your hands a copy of the letter of his ex cellency the president of the repub lic of Germany." 1 Ex-Senator Fighting for Fortune in Wilderness II I. William Lorimer, Representing Rich Syndicate, Toil , ing in South American Interior to Repay Bank Losses Gradually Losing Sight. Br ANTHONY CZARNECKI. (Nr. CnrtMrM haa Jurt rtuf4 Js rtlrua aru np inrM " km Island rmtMry 4 wu' Amrlr.) tKrom 1h. ChlcMo pall, J.w Dfpo in the interior of Colombia one of the frw countries of the world that yet hold forth to the adventure some white man a promise oi umum fortune in return for the expendi ture of energy, suffering, work, is William Lorimer, whose history in Illinois and national politics and fi nance alone constitutes a story that is stranger than the strangest fiction could be. Lorimer, whose heart was broken with the death of his wife nearly three years ago, is alone in this South American primeval country except for a few engineers, a train of Indian guides aifd packers, He wears as the only connection with his lam ily and past in this country a locket that was dear to his wile. Determined to Repay. As the representative of one of the richest syndicates in the world, com- fosed of American capitalists, Billy -orimer is blazing the way to great fortunes for others, to a smaller for tune for himself. Partly to forget, to get away from his great grief here, partly that he might gain that fortune and so return to Chicago and pay back, penny for penny and dollar tor dollar, every cent that ne owes, Lorimer is undergoing a pur gatory of loneliness, privation,' dan ger, back-breaking and soul-searing labor slowly going blind from cat aracts and suffering a torment of pain continually in the, failing eyes. Blazing trails through jungles, climbing mountains, crossing raging streams and rapids generally con ducting extensive explorations and investigations of the natural re sorrces, the former senator, although past 61, is workings hard under greater difficulties and handicaps than he ever did. When not invading virgin forests, canoeing on streams which abound in man-eating alliga tors atld over which hover malaria breeding mosquitoes, or searching for mine locations and often scaling perpetually snow-capped mountains, Lorimer devotes his time to carrying put other phases of his mission. He is arranging, in accordance with le gal requirements of the country, the various transfers and options of property, contracts, proposals and concessions with government offi cials, property ewners and claimants. Much Changed in Appearance. It was in the interior of the re public of, Colombia that I met Wil liam Lorimer. The work he is do ing, the hardships he is undergoing in his efforts to succeed, in accom plishing what the syndicate sent him to South America to do, not only have left their imprints upon him, but have changed his appearance to such an extent that it required a care ful second appraisal of the man to recognize him. His girth is reduced by half. He would be lost in his old trousers. His face has become thinner, but harder. AU its flabbiness is gone. There is.a determined compression of the lips which formerly did not appear on Lorimer's countenance and his face shows in its color the result of the vigorous outdoor life. Many miles from any outpost of civilization while making explora tions, surveys and maps in regions heretofore visited by very few, if any, white men. Lorimer has raised a grizzly beard. This makes him ap pear like one of the old frontiersmen or western settlers in our own coun try in days gone by. He wears heavy spectacles to pro tect his eyes. Occasionally.he winces from pain in his eyes. This, he ex plained, was due to cataracts which he hopes to have removed when he can find time to burry for a brief visit to physicians in the United States, lie emerged recently from a siege of malaria considerably weakened but with no otherwise noticeable results Physicians in Bogota and other cities which he visited in connection with hi work say he is completely rid of malaria. But according to the en gineers working under Lorimer, the doctors have plainly told him that unless his eyes are attended to in time and the operation for the cataracts is performed he is in peril of losing his sight completely. In Strang Company. Mule riding is one of the principal means of travel in the interior of this country, and Lorimer, with his party of Indians, native whites ajid cngmeen, has a goodly share ot that mode of travel, which requires many years of continuous practice before it becomes bearable and ceases to be a hardship. Seated on a mule, Lorimer presented a picturesque fig ure when coming out of the jungles, He was dressed in khaki breeches, a khaki blouse, wore no necktie, On his head was a large straw som brero, his leet were ui old lashioned Icggins ana special boots, around his middle hung a belt from which in holsters dangled a large automatic revolver and a native machete. Indians and native ' white peons acting as his guides and helpers, who carry the canoes, tents, food supplies and the necessary pros pectors' and explorers' supplies and apparatus, are Lorimer's companions as he invades the densely forested and intensely hot region of the Choco. the rugged mountains of the central and western Cordillera and the valleys of the rivers, some of which are navigable, while others are practically impassable.

Il Hat after one of the mo.t ar duous trips in the territory thai I met Lorimer. Il was along the Mir I. the Samana and the fc.trrlla rivers. His party had chopped us way with nuchrti through dcne forests back to the running stream and waterfalls which were of in terest to Lorimer iu connection with hit surveys for water power, pro posed' railroad route ajid other de velopments. "Hello, Czarncrki; how is the Daily News," he said. 1 tried to determine who the man addressing me really was. I had heard from a number of sources while going up the Magdalcna river into the interior of Columbia that Lorimer was then somewhere in that country, but at first glance I did not recognize him, even when he greeted me. He con tinued: "I know that I have changed, but I did not know it was, so bad that even a Chicago newspaperman would have difficulty to recognize me." Then, a he continued to speak, I recognized him. Members of Syndicate. With the tenacity of purpose and spirit which made him a power in politics, Lorimer has taken up the work of the syndicate as the crown ing and most important undertaking of his life. Then men in the syndicate he represents include William H. Fin ley, president of the Chicago & Northwestern railway; Samuel Insull, Boetius H. Sullivan, George J. Sayer, Andred McAnsh, Walter J.

The syndicate's survey and investi gations disclosed that Colombia's greatest need is railroad 'transporta tion and Lorimer, with the engineer ing rkpertt, has made a survey of the possibilities in that direction with a concrete plan and proposition sub mitted to the 'proper authorities and officials of the readiness of the syn dicate to furnish the necessary money, trained engineers and con struction men as well a all material to build the railroad.. They alsore preparing to harness the great water power in that country. Hungers for Home News. ' Lorimer was hungry for, news about everything and everybody in Chicago. When asked if going back into politics was in any of his future plans, he pointed out that the work which was holding his entire atten tion would require many years be fore completed and that it would be very many years before he could even pause in his work to give any such question a thought.
