By the Associated Press PARIS, November 26 For- mer Premier Herriott today in- formed President Doumergue that he definitely declined to form a cabinet. It is understood that the Presi- dent probably will call next on Senator Maurice Sarraut of the Radical-Socialist group to attempt the formatfon of a ministry. PARIS, Novembe France's min- | isterial cr day entered its fifth| day, and the solution, rendered rore | difficult by the decision of the Social ist party caucus this morning to re- frain from entering a ministry headed | by former Premier Herriot, appears to be no nearer than when M.

One idea put for- ward has been for the majority of the Chamber of Deputies to disregard the Scnate altogether as a factor in the passage of financial bills. Conservatives Active. The conservative parties forming the present opposition has been much more active since M. Painleve formed his second ministry of the year last month. Their organizations, which | had abandoned open meetings since the fall of M. Herriot, last Spring, are now holding mass assemblies in Paris and other large cities. Their leaders, however, profess complete respect for the constitution and say they will make no move unless in self-defense and in order to reply to what they would consider vexatious measures which may be imposed by the present majority. KILLS SON-IN-LAW IN SELF-DEFENSE Aged Farmer Says He Shot as Vic- tim Advanced on Family With Pistol. BRISTOL, Va.-Tenn., November 26 (P).—Godfrey Miller, 60-year-old farm- er, is in jail at Blountsville, Tenn today, charged with Kkilling his son-in- | law, Offield Presnell, at Big Creek, | about 10 miles north’ of here, yester- day afternoon. Miller surrendered to ! the sheriff of Sulllvan County soon after he sald he killed his son-in-law in self-defense. The sheriff declared this morning, however, that as yet he has not learned what became of Presnell's body. Miller told the authorities that he shot Presnell as the latter advanced on his family with a revolver.

Paint Spray Inventor Wins 11-Year Fight| For Patent Right; to Get Big Damages By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, November 26.— After waifing 11 years, Blake F. Hop- kins, San Francisco house painter and inventor of a paint-spraying machine, was made potentially wealthy yester- day in a decision handed down by Judge Frank H. Kerrigan in the United States District Court. FEleven years ago Hopkins invented a spraying machine and soon after, without permission, it is alleged, several manufacturing companies throughout the United States con- verted it to their own use. It.’is al. leged that they made and sold thous sands of the machines at huge profits, and Hopkins, despite his patent, was unable to collect a cent. Judge Kerrigan's decision not only validated the patent and ordered an injunction against the -companies named but ordered that “matters be referred to United States Commis- sloner Krull for gscertainment of damages.” e decision will enable Hopkins to collect damages from every manufac- turer, who has infringed on his patent. | Twomeq ¢ Foeni WITH SUNDAY MORNING: EDITION ny Star. service.

In spite of some “rotten spots” in American life today and in spite of some “sinister forces” to the contrary and what would seem superficlally to be “display of the vulgar and com- mon, broken conventions and repeal of reticence,” Right Rev. James E. Free- man, bishop of the Episcopal dioc of Washington, in a Thanksgiving sermon today at the Washington Cathedral, declared his belief in a growing pirit of tolerance and deep- ening religious conviction throughout the country. Three- outstanding_things for which America could well be grateful today. the bishop declared, were the amazing prosperity, unparalieled in the history of the world, and the tolerance and rellgious feelings, which he felt was in- creasing. Capitalizing Yearning. “If the church of God can only capi- talize the yearning of the human heart today,” said the bishop, ‘no man may dare prophesy what great re- liglous renatssance we may have.” Bishop Freeman called upon Amer- | ica on Thanksgiving day to lay aside | of ifving and think- | any “insular w ing,” to be grateful for the blessings of God to the point where they would take a more active part in world af- fairs. “The time has come in the his- tory of this great Nation” sald Bishop Freeman, “when it must (Continued on Page 2, Column 4.) s et GONZAGA TROUNCES LOYOLA HIGH, 19 T0 0 Johnny Bozek and Paddy Byrne Play Star Foot Ball Against Bal- timore in Eighth Victory.

By the Associated Press BANGKOK, Siam, November Rama VI, King of Siam for 14 years, | died today about a month after he had divorced his queen and taken another wife in the hope of having an heir to | the throne. | His hopes were not realized, and his younger brother, Prince Praja Dhipok, ucceeds to the throne. daughter was born yesterday to the new queen. | Rama VI, who was 45 years old, re- | cently underwent an operation for an abdominal abscess, from which he did not recover. Prior to the opera- tion he had suffered from acute gas- tritls. 3 Fducated at Oxford, Rama on hjs marriage in 1922 to Princess Lakshmi Lavan abjured polysamy and sbol- ished the harem which his father had maintained. Throne Barred to Female. In 1910 it was decided that until King Rama had male issue the suc- cession should be through the queen mother’s son. Last month Rama deposed his queen on the ground that she had not car- ried out her duties teward King and country “in a satisfactory manner.” The daughter born Tuesday to the Sivadana, was the first child to be| born to a King of Siam for 32 years, the last being Prince Praja Dhipok, who now sycceeds to the throne. When King Rama last month raised | Lady Suvadana to the rank of roval| consort.in place of the childless Queen | Lakski, the following proclamation was~issued: The King has observed that the | new queen has served him with faith- | fulness and love, and it is fitting, ! ¢herefore, that she should be raised to | ‘high estate in order to support the| rank of the child she will bear his | majesty in the near future.” Made Many Reforms. Rama VI was the son of King Rama V, or King Chulalongkorn, | whom he succeeded in 1910. 1l 1917, the new King retained the nanie he had borne as crown prince, Maha | Vajiravudh, but in that vear he as-| sumed the title of King Rama VI. He was known as an able and enlighten- ed monarch, and much of the progress of Siam in the last 15 years Is ascrib. ed to him. He brought in Western advisers in many phases of govern- ment, revised the laws, encouraged progress in medicine and hyglene. One of his most radical reforms was the abolition of the harem in the royal household. His father, Rama V, is said to have had anywhere from 600 to 3,000 wives. | The heir presumptive, Prince Praja | Dhipok, was born November 8. 1893, | and was the sixth son of King Rama V by one of the royal consorts.

The immediate danger of tife retire- ment of the Peruvian boundary com- mission delegation from fyfther work apparently has been removed through a decision of the Perutians to re- quest at an early meeting that the houndary commission investigate the farchand, com- mander of the Carabineros, that the Peruvian boundary delegation fnsti- gated the murder Of a carabinero. In his second mote to Gen. Pershing Senor Edwards said he had not re- ceived any reply to his previous mes- sage to Gen. Pershing, nor any indi- cation of his mative for declining to discuss or for insisting upon post- poning discussion of the Chilean mo- tion for the fixing of dates. He added that he believed that there | was nothing more fundamentally per- tinent than the promulgation of rules for the registration of voters, and re- quested that a session for this purpose be called as quickly as possible. After four months, during which absolutely nothing was done toward the promul- gation of the regulations, the people of Chile had the right to know *the reasons which have made the situa- tion so extraordinary.” Continuing. Senor Edwards satd: “I belleve it is the duty of the com- mission to order the publication of all the facts of its sessiops, and particu- larly to admit the public to the ses- sion which I now ask the commission to hol It is understood that in his reply to Senor Edwards, Gen. Pershing did not indicate whether the Chilean rep- ntative's suggestion for an open ession of the commission would be followed. —_— BITUMINOUS COAL EXHIBITS CLOSED Demonstration Stations Are Ob- serving Holiday—Will Re- open Tomorrow.

His determination to mak: this stand threatened to embrofl him with the “Christian general,” Feng Yu-hsiang, who, from his headquar- ters at Kalgan, has been watching the development of the situation. Interpreted as Threat. At this stage two of Chang’s most influential followers, Gen. Kuo Sung- lien, commander of the 10th Division, and Gen. Li Ching-ling, civil governor of Chipli provinca, are understood to have telegraphed Chang Tso-lin that if he and Yang Yu-ting would retire from leadership there would be a chance for preserving the unity of the Manchurian party. _Otherwise, they said, the responsibility for further de- velopments must rest with Chang and Yu This is interpreted as a threat that Kuo and Li would form alliance with one of Chang Tso-lin's opponents, either Marshal Wu Pei-fu, head of the Yangtse alliance, or Feng Yu-hsiang. Kuo's plan is reported to have been to replace Chang Tso-lin by the lat ter's young son, Chang Hsueh-Liang. Receiving orders from Chang Tso-lin to return with his command to Muk. den, Kuo appears to have become doubtful of his chief’s intentions con- cerning him and decided to revolt. Railway Believed Cut. It 1s not likely that he is anywhere near Mukden, since it is believed that Manchurian troops loyal to Chang have cut the Peking-Mukden Railway above Peitaiho, 140 miles northeast of Tientsin, to prevent the northward movement of hostile forces. appears to have been fighting in that region between various factions of the Chang armies. Two hundred tourists, mostly Amer- icans, who were landed from the round-the-world _liner Chinwantao, arrived here today on & special train; their journey from Chin- | wangtao, on the coast northeast of | Tientsin, having been without inci- dent. At one point troops had torn up the rails, but agreed to replace them. All three of the main lines running out of Peking—the Peking-Mukden Railway _to the north, the Tientsin- Pukow Rallway to the southeast and the Pekinz-Hankow Railway to the southwest—appear to have been cut. + REIGN PROGRESSIVE. ‘War Lord Has Risen to High Post From Bandit Leader.
