! SOUGHT PRINCE'S AUTOGRAPH. LONDON, December 6. When the Prince of Wales opened the Leyton County High School last week, a 15-year-old boy, Geoffrey Gill, a member of the Matriculation form, asked the Prince for his autograph. The headmaster, Mr. M. Gompertz, has now suspended Gill for "gross breach of discipline and grave impropriety." Gill says that the Prince did not seem angry. "He put both hands on my shoulders and said, smiling, 'Sorry, old man, I can't give you ray autograph, or I'll have to do it for the whole school.'" Several boys agreed to ask for the autograph, Uut the others backed out. Gill's father has sent a letter, asking the Prince,to inform Mr. Gompertz whether he was annoyed or .otherwise.
