His quarters were | comparable to countless other young) bachelors of well-to-do circumstances, | although his position necessitated a large staff. When the heir to the throne was| 21 he set up housekeeping on his own. One wing in St. James’ palace, known @s York House, and he was given his own staff, consisting of equerries, a comptroller of his treasury and a clerical force. The ground floor of York House contained the offices of his staff and his small and simple dining room. ‘The next floor contained his own pri- vate quarters, consisting of two sit- ting rooms, a bedroom and a bath- room. There was an absence of lux- ‘ury and pomp about his own quar- ters that marked him out as being more of a soldier than a prince. Not Luxuriously Furnished None of the rooms was luxuriously furnished nor over-burdened with the souvenirs and gifts that have been showered on him in his world trips. Most of the decorations were photo- graphs of his royal kinsmen and of close personal friends. One of the sitting rooms was used as an informal reception room where he received his close friends and cab- inet ministers, The other sitting room, to which outsiders were rarely admitted, was used as a work room. Its chief ornament was a big desk piled with letters and reports upon which he must pass. His bedroom was far simpler than that of many a less important and ess well-to-do bachelor, It had something about it that by its neat- ness and even severity recalled that of Despite his love for the rough, hardy life of the jungles and Plains, the Prince of Wales was at ease in the most decorous of pocial circles.

Officials said Lay on Shack Bed |tnis was possibie in the room where it is believed the death occurred. Finding of the bullet hole lent further credence to the supposition that Knowlen had been murdered while he lay in bed. Previous examin- ation revealed that the feather tick upon which Knowlen slep was badly torn and feathers were scattered about the room. The course of the bullet was ap- proximately straight down from the top of the head, Dr. Larson said,} which would mean that Knowlen’ must have been lying down when the shot was fired. Sequence Muddled As police reconstructed the murder in view of the new evidence, the man was either shot and then beaten or vice versa, there being no evidence to accurately ascertain which act was committed first. Dr. Larson expected to draw a cor- oner's jury on Thursday and a fur- ther investigation into the direct eau: of death was planned for Fri lay.

Lead fragments taken from the body of the slain man will be turned over to ballistic experts at the state penitentiary in an effort to determine the caliber of gun from which the ‘bullet was fired. ‘Two shotguns and a .22 caliber rifle were found in Knowlen’s shack at the east end of the city.

Shaved Himself The prince was never nurse-maided by a personal valet. His personal friend, Major Verney, not long ago in a book about him revealed the fact that he shaved and dressed himself. He had no “man” hanging about him handing him things. His big personal mail was handled by two private secretaries and his business affairs by his comptroller. The prince was quite a property owner not only in his Duchy of Corn- i wall, but also in the Kensington dis- trict of London. All matters in con- nection with his property were care- fully taken up by him with his comptroller. Opposed to Slums The prince, early in his young man- hood, became interested in the aboli- tion of tenement slums. To that end he set a good example by tearing down a lot of his property in Ken- sington and putting up model flats and houses for the working class. Not only that, but he often rode over the Thames to Kensington personally to inspect his rebuilt properties and to see how his tenants were getting along. One of his tenement flats in Ken- sington, rented to working people at. very moderate sum, is far more up to date and far better arranged than some of the flat buildings inhabited by wealthier classes on the more fashionable side of London.

President’s Own Plans In Washington at the White House, the chief executive will be host to his “cuff-links gang”—those who were closely associated with him when he was assistant secretary of the navy and Democratic vice presidential can-; didate in 1920. That year he present- ed them the links. Mr. Roosevelt, however, will leave the festivities at 11:30 p. m., EST, to give his thanks to the nation over the radio. The first lady plans to visit each of the six balls that are being held in Washington. In New York, the president's moth- er, Mrs. James Roosevelt, will be the guest of honor at the city’s principal | BS ball in the Woldorf-Astoria hotel. CoONTINUEPD from page one New Farm Bill Is Headed for First Test of Strength Probably $780,000,000: or $1,000,000,000 would be enough. Sent to the floor by the senate agri- culture committee upder the title “soil conservation and domestic allotment act,” the measure substantially con- tinuing the principles of AAA was ex- pected to arouse strenuous debate. Colleagues of Senator Borah said the Idaho Republican would challenge it on constitutional grounds. They expected him to discuss speci- fically the factors determining bene- fit payments to farmers for operations carried out prior to Jan, 1, 1938. 4 Major Points They are (1) their acreage of soil- improving or erosion - preventing crops; (2) their acreage or crop land; (3) changes in the use of their land, (4) that portion of a crop expected to enter domestic consumption—in ef- fect, a sort of domestic allotment plan. In determining the payments based upon the first three provisions the secretary of agriculture could consid- er productivity of the acreage affect- ed. Senator Capper (Rep. Kan.) who with Senator Smith (Dem., 8. C.), chairman of the senate agriculture | committee, reserved the privilege of attacking the bill after it reached the senate floor, gave a terse summation of the stand Borah was expected to take: Fears Invalidity “I don’t want to enact another law of such tremendous influence on the economic life of the nation as AAA only to find it unconstitutional.” Assuring organized national farm groups that the house draft of the farm bill would be “broadened,” Chairman Jones of the house agri- | culture committee was quoted as fav- oring “more than one device” for stimulating farm prosperity. Chester Gray, of the American farm bureau federation, said Jones: considered the senate bill “‘too nar- row” and expressed belief the house bill would include the export deben- ture to stimulate foreign marketing, or a land rental provision to take sur- plus acres out of production. Fires Damage Truck, House Here Thursday Bismarck firemen were called to ex- tinguish two fires Thursday morning. The» first occurred in the wall be- tween the basement and the first floor of the Gordon Mellum residence at 411 Avenue A. -There was only slight damage before the blaze was put out. The second was in an old truck parked on Twenty-fifth St. and Main Ave., apparently caused by a short circuit, The truck was badly dam- aged. It. was formerly owned by the Universal Motor Co. but had been sold to L, A, Maichel, Bismarck.
