Safe From Wilds of Tibet Zilch Hits Egypt
BY C. GEBHARDT PEARSON,
The Kansan's Special Cairo Correspondent in Exile
Cairo, Egypt, April 11.—Delayed)—Special to the Kansan. All Cairo was agog tonight with the news that Elmer A. Zilch, patron saint of journalism, discoverer of type lice, and wealthy inventor of the Zilch Zippy Linotype, has escaped from the wilderness of the impenetrable Borneo jungles and is safe here.
Zilch who was lost early last week as he attempted a nonstop flight from his Tibetan monastery to Lawrence, where he
Zilch who was lost early last stop flight from his Tibetan mo will be guest of honor at the yearly award dinner bearing his name, had no statement for the press tonight. He is resting from his strenuous ordeal in the Hotel Arouk el Babadar in Cairo. He has commandered the exclusive Zoubie room, and remains in seclusion with two cases of imported Scotch and a Dobermann Pinscher, which he refuses to let out of his sight.
The exact date of his arrival in the capital city of Egypt is uncertain, and he has refused to disclose the date of his departure for the United States. Mortimer O'Hafferty, an American bartender, steadfast friend and constant companion of Zilch, reports that he is in a state bordering upon coma, and refuses to quit a strategic position under a table, where he is firmly entrenched.
It is rumored in official circles that Zilch has made a deal with heirs to the late Tutankhamen, former ruler of Egypt, to purchase his tomb and ship it, stone by stone, to Lawrence, where the generous
philanthropist will donate the pyramid-shaped structure for use as a new journalism building. This theory, however, remains undocumented at this time.
British officials in Cairo have sought audience with the famed exponent of personal journalism, but have been refused to date. The great man is visibly shaken by his experiences, and insists upon conserving his strength for the big night in Lawrence, April 21.
