A PRINCE liNll HIS lllB

LONDON. Dec. 15—A romantic story of a Russian prince who once enjoyed an income of $50,000 u year. nnd now earns $25 a week as u clerk in London, has just been told in the Bankruptcy Court.

The first meeting of creditors was then held under the failure of . Prince Eugene Kotchoubey, of Sus- sex-Square.

The Official Receiver said that. according to statements, debtor. was prince of the Russian Empire, who came to England in 1914. "

Later he ivenf to Canada to learn farming. lie was lhen ill receipt of an income of frolu $40,000 to __ 850.000 a yenr from a trust estate under tho will of his maternal grandfather.

This ceased in 1018 owing to the Bolshcvlsf Revolution in Russia.

He. livr-d in Canada on ills suv- ings unill early in 1920, when he returned f0 England with his fat- her-ln-lnw with ll~ view to enforc- lng his claim to his estate in Rus- sia. He then dill a little commis- sion business, mostly in shipping.

His solicitors hsd been advanc- ing hlln silnis at intervals to en- able him tn live, and, he had given them n charge on hid estate us se- curify.
