As 1 By HERBERT PLUMMER ‘ WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Edward | VIII probably is the first British | k'ng who also is chief of an Indian ! tribe in Canada. Some years ago when the prince‘ was visiting his ranch in Alberta, the Stoney tribe of plains Indians with appropriate ceremonies induct- | €l him into their tribe as “Chief Morning Star.” This country knows Edward,! Prince of Wales, well. He has made | two visits to the United States. In| 1919 he spent three days in Wash- | ington, visited other cities, too, and | in 1924, he returned for a brief visit | to the nation’s capital. His Visit Cheered Wilson i Prefident Wilson received the| prince on his first visit. They met | (upper left), 35, former waiter. Dale Vincent (upper right), 34, alleged lookout, was slightly wounded, while James T.

Carvin said one of them had come to visit him as a client to obtain advice. (Asscciated Press Photes) ‘. Martha, the bride; ONE OF BOSWELL SISTERS MARRIES . Bosweli, of the singing Boswell sisters, married Major George Lioyd of the British r.r'::'::':am York. Pictured after the ceremony (left to right) are Vet Major Lloyd and Harol d Warner, best man. (VAlloclaud grel! Phol;)m dent's physicians said the prince‘s‘ anything they had been able to do. A private home was placed at his | disposal while he was in the cap- ital. A dinner in his honor at the British Embassy climaxed his stay. The second visit was made at a time when the prince was traveling incognito. He called then on Presi- dent Coolidge. His ranch in the Eden valley of | Alberta is one of Edward’s hobbies. He specializes in the breeding of | fine cattle and horses. Fun To Be A Rancher | The last time he was in Alberta was in 1834, but he keeps up an ac- tive interest in affairs there. In fact it is said that he originally purchased the property, known as ! the “E. P.” (Edward, Prince) ranch, to set an example for other Britons. “It’s great fun to be a rancher, even if it is expensive,” he once said. | _When on the ranch, he wears | ranch clothing, and enters eagerly | into the day’s work. His men there “ were astounded at first, by his con- stant show of energy. United States District Court Judge Harry E.
