ALl DRIA, Va., October 19.— With 200 delegates in attendance from practically every county in Virginia, the forty-second annual State con- vention of the Junior Order, United American Mechanics of Virginia, In- corporated, convened this morning in the lodge room of Alexandria Lodge of Elks. sslons are being presided over by George liand, Stace counselor, of South Norfolk, Va. Reports of the year just closed were taken up at the forenoon session. This afternoon officers will be placed in nomination. The election of offi- cers tomorrow, together with the se- lection of a city for the next conven- tion, will bring the business of the assocfation to a close. Danville, it is believed, will get the next State gathering. A public meeting was held last night at the Young Peoples’ Building and the visitors were welcomed by City Manager Paul Morton. George Hand responded and a number of others made addresses. A parade will be held at 8 o'clock tonight on King street and will move from Fairfax west on King to Payne and thence mouth on Payne to Prince and down Prince to Royal. The delegates then will go to the armory, where a dance will be held. Twenty-five Shriners from this city plan to attend the ceremonial which will be staged in Leesburg Friday. ‘The Alexandrians wiil motor to Lees- burg, leaving here at noon. There will be a big class initiation, followed by a banquet. Among those to be initiated will be a number from this city.

Princess Ileana also came in for a round of | compliments, and many young women remarked, “Isn't he good looking?” as the third car, carrying Prince Nich- olas, passed by them. Precautions at Station. Great precaution had been taken to guard the royal party at the station. | Marines, attired in their colorful dress uniforms, formed a lane from the trainshed to the presidential recep- ticn room, in which were waiting many of the dignitaries of this Gov- ernment who formed the official re- ception committee. Thousands of persons pressed their faces against the gates in the station concourse to view the Queen as she left her train, and a sporadic sort of cheer went up as she was seen to descend from the platform of her car, | followed by the prince and the prin- cess, The Queen appeared to be taking in the size of the huge concourse as she walked briskly, head high and face smiling, between the lines of marines at attentlon. Inside the reception room there was a brief series of for- mal_introductlons between members of the royal party and those of the committee of reception, headed by Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg and com- posed of other State Department offi- cials and ranking officers of the three branches of the military service with their wives. Bugler Sounds Attention. Suddenly on the plaza there sound- ed the fam'liar notes of a bugler calling the troops to attention. There was a_rattling of swords and a stiffen- ing of military s The Queen, ta rm of Secretary Kellogg, On her right was the Prince, dressed in formal after- noon attire, and the Prince swathed in a gorgeous coat of gray squirrel and carrying a bouquet of roschbuds. The Queen looked her part, without doubt whatever us she walked majes- tically and slowly through the en- trance and turned her head from right to left to survey the plcture presented on the Plaza. She wore a coat of astrakan, topped off by a striking turban with burnished gold trim- mirgs As the Queen set her foot in the doorway the Army Band struck up the Rumanian national anthem, and the procession through the entance came to a quick halt. The Prince had removed his hat and the royal trio stood rigidly at attention. During the playing of this anthem and of “The Star Spangled Banner,” which followed immediately, Queen Marie -ould be seen gazing quizzically at the broadside of T-ws cameras, set up on tripods, which confronted her in the driveway of the porte cochere. She ran her eyes the length of the photo- graphers’ army, and then lifted them to take in the trappings of the war- strength squadron of Cavalry in the background. The playing of the anthems com- pleted, Queen Marie graciously re- tained her pose for the henefit of the photographers, as a succession of flashlights bcomed their radiance for the feverishly-working cameramen. For fully five minutes the entire party stood thus in deference to the photog- raphers, and then they faded away before the onslaught of shining lim- ousines which moved forward for thefr distinguished passengers. Kellogg in Queen's Car. Secretary Kellogg went with the Queen in the first car, bearing the official monogram of the Government. Maj. Gen. Fox Connor, acting chief of staff of the Army, escorted the Prince in the second machine, and Admiral Eberle, ranking officer of the Navy, sat with Princess Ileana in the third car. A dozen or more cars fol- lowed in line to pick up the score of other members of the party, includ- ing the entourage. The White House, which had been forecast as the Queen’s next sight of Washington, was denied her until this afternoon, for, contrary to past custom, the President did not receive the Queen last night. For personal reasons, it was said at the White House, the official call of the Queen at the Executive Mansion, and of the President and Mrs. Coolidge at the legation was set for this afternoon. Last night the Queen entertained informally at dinner at the legation, her guests being members of the dip- lomatic corps representing the little entente of the Balkans and other governments, including Poland, Italy and France. Crowds Line Streets. Her parade through the streets of the Capital City to the legation was a brilliant night pageant. The chain of automobiles carrying the royal party, escorted by the Cavalry squad- ron, passed between sidewalks crowd- ed with onlookers. At the legation, beautiful, dignified white building in the renaissance style, the crowds were massed SO thickly in the streets that police had difficulty in clearing the way. After the Queen had entered the building that {8 to be her Washington home and had been followed by Princess Ileana and by Prince Nicholas, who 14 to stay there with her and the princess, by her special request, rather than with other members of the party at a hotel, the crowd still refused to disperse. Thelr applause and cheering, their insistent demands for a sight of the Queen, finally attracted her, rhajesty’s attention. The double shuttered win- dows of the little balcony on the second floor above the doorway parted, to frame in the bright light of the room inside the figure of the Queen. Comes Out on Balcony. She stepped onto the balcony, placed her hand on the flagstaff from which hung the Rumanian flag and leaned forward to look down on the upturned faces of her American kingdom. Her son and daughter stepped out on either side of her. The crowd cheered and clapped, and then paused, as the Queen held up her hand. “I just wish to tell you all, thank yeu so very much,” said her voice in the darkness. Then lighting her up with flashes of quick lightning, the photographers ~The newspapers of northern Portu- gal state that Alvaro Castro, who vesigned the Portuguese high commis- sionership of Mozambique yesterday, ius been arrested and imprisoned in T wilitary bospital at Oporto. ‘ exploded their flares and the crowd caught a “flashlight” of Rumania's lovely Queen, bareheaded, with her short-waved auburn hair shining in the sudden glare. The Queen on the balcony is the trict of Washington. MARIE WINS PUBLIC'S HEARTS IN TRIUMPHANT ENTRY TO CITY jGraciously Appears on Legation Balcony After Acclaim on Streets—Will Not Go in Movies. P):l;‘l}"Queen that America will ! THE EVENING learn to know, and che hopes “to take to their hearts” during the next few months. For, said Marie yesterday in audience granted three newspaper representa- tives on the special train, she will contniue to be her royal self as long as she is in this country, assuming no incognito, and seeking none of the privileges of the private individual. Will Not Go in Movies. “The people of America want me here as a Queen, I believe,” she said to the Associated Press correspondent, as the special traln neared Washing- ton. “Everybody knows me as Marie, Queen of Rumania. That is what I always am, and I have never been a person to pretend to be what I am not.” So she will not appear in the mov- ing pictures, “except as they may snap me in the street,” sald her majesty, for, she added, “a Queen an’t act 'in the movies, now can ‘There is no truth in the rumor that I might appear in the moving pictures,” she replied to a question. “Though I don't say I may not write for the films,” she added. During her interview the Queen sat m an armchair near the rear win- dow of her flower-filled private car, the car of Gen. W. W. Atterbury, president of the Pennsylvania raflroad. which has conveyed Marshal Foch and oiher distinguished visitors on | thelr visits of state. She still wore | the burgundy crepe rown, the rope of pearls and rearl earrings, the bronze | hose and slippers she had worn on ker arrival in New York yesterday morning, but she had removed the bronze and gold turban to reveal her bronze gold hair. Maryland Like Fngland. A wine-colored metal brocade shawl lay across her lap. Roses, crysanthe- mums and dahlias added their colors to her wine and bronze symphony. Princess Ileana, clad in gray-biue, the color of her eyes, sat opposite her, and Prince Nicholas was nearby. | They had been looking out of the window at the flying Maryland land- scape, “So like England, only larger, snd more highly colored” sald Queen { T've always wanted to visit Ameri- ca in the Fall, as u call our Au- tumn,” she added.”“I love the bright October colors.” “I have been touched to the heart by my reception today,” she smilingly began the interview she had granted, after shaking hands with the re- vorters. “My welcome really seemed to come, not alone from the State, but trom the people. The faces of so many seemed to smile at me. They seemed really glad to see me. It made me very happy. “I thought the ceremony at the City Hall in New York heautiful. See, I am wearing the medal they gave me,” and she pointed to the gold medal, vinned to her gown, with its crests of Rumania and of the United States. “Do you know that the speech I made to the mayor is the first one I ever made in my life?” she asked. “I did not know I should have to make it, and I had planned nothing to say. Then when I heard what the mayor was saying, and how he was speaking, apparently right from the heart, I knew how I should reply. “No, 1 should not have said that was my first speech,” she corrected herself, “for I have just remembered another I made—to Americans, too. It was to American doughboys in a Young Men’'s Christian Association hut in France in 1919. I was trying to tell them the difference between democracy and bolshevism. Since then, nearly every one has learned the wide difference. I knew it then.” May Write on Issues. In reply to a question, the Queen said she might write something while she was here of the Bessarabian ques- tion—"'a very difficult one for people | on the outside to understand.” She | said, too, that she might write some- thing of Rumania’s ofl interests. When the Queen's train paused a moment in passing through Baltimore, the Queen exclaimed with pleasure at the crowd waiting there to catch a glimpse of her. “Smiling faces again,” she said. “Isn't it nice of them?” She stepped out on the observatfon plat- form, smiled and bowed, and permit- ted herself to be photographed. At the end of her first day the Queen admitted herself to be a little tired, and complained of a slight cough, for which the doctor in at-| tendance on her special train pre-| scribed.

STAR, WASHINGTON QUEEN MARIE LAYS FLORAL TRIBUTE AT TOMB OF UNKNOWN (Continued from First Page.) royal party in the banquet room of the building. On the way to' the old sarden at Mount Vernon, the Queen stopped in front of a rosebush which Supt. Dodge described to her as being planted by Gen. George Washington and named the Nellie Custis rose. He said, “This s a wishing rose” and the Queen said, ‘Nicky, make a wish, Nicky, Nicky, Nicky,” and to the princess she said: “Maybe you'd like to make a wish also, dear.” So they both lald their hands on the rosebush and made a wish. When “Nicky” was asked what he had wished, he bashfully refused to reply, but when asked if it was about a girl, he said: “Well, I don’t know The prince then said: “May 1 go out and take a smoke?” and he and the other male members of the party took a smoke. When the Queen was received by the members of the Mount Vernon committee, she said: “I'm sure you are all pleased that it is such a very fine day. We make much less speed in Rumania than we do over here. In my country there -are dust and many bumps. "This is a very beauti- ful place.” Garden Pleases Princess. When the princess was walking through the old formal garden, she remarked on what a beautiful place it was and said: “I am a very good gardener myself.” The Queen added: “She’s not near such a good gardener as I am.” The Queen then picked a couple of dahlias and placed them on her dress, and one of her retinue picked a pink rose and presented it to the Queen. ‘When in one of the upper floors of the mansion, the Queen said: “This is Just like one of our old English houses.” The princess and Gen. Rockenbach were walking up from the tomb to- gether, and the princess carried on a very animated conversation. " really is a very lovely place,” she said, She then turned to M Maxey and “Won't you take my arm up the walk?" Mrs. Maxey took the princess’ arm, and the princess helped her up the walk to the car. Mrs. Maxey then en- tered the car with the Queen, and the prince and princess entered another car together and went to the banquet hall. Shakes Woman’s Hand. On her way to the banquet hall the princess stopped and shook hands with an old crippled woman and a young boy, and when she got out and started toward the door the people crowded around, but she threw her hands in the air and said, “Too many hands.” One photographer took a picture of the Queen, but Mr. Dodge said to a policeman: “Take away that camera and arrest the man.” Prince Nicholas, the Queen and the Princess, stood inside the inclosure of the tomb, the Prince with bared head, while the Queen laid the wreath on the tomb. When they came out of the tomb, Mr. Dodge gave them a re sume of the history of the removal of Washington from the old tomb. Queen Marie listened interestedly. ‘While waiting for the car to come and take her from the tomb the Queen took a small box from her pocket and extracted a cough-drop, saying to Mrs. Maxey, ‘‘Some one gave these to me on the train.” On the way to Mount Vernon the Queen stopped the car twide, first to put on her heavy wraps, as it was getting cool, and again to look at the scenery.

Hioki Held Diplomatic Posts in U. 8. and Elsewhere. TOKIO, October 19 (#).—Eki Hioki, member of the House of Peers and former Ambassador to Germany, died this afternoon of a kidney disease and a stomach ulcer. M. Hioki was Japan's delegate to the recent customs conference in Pe- king. He had held diplomatic posts in the United States and several Eu- ropean countries, besides holding high positions at home. Mr. Hioki came to Washington as an attache in 1891 and was stationed here again in 1903 after serving at St. Petersburg, Seoul and Peking. He left the Washington embassy in 1906 and was sent to Germany. He had been the Minister to Chile since 1908, and in addition to being a veteran member of the Japanese diplomatic corps had received the dec- oration of the third-elass Rising Sun.

First lady each of their countries; Queen Marie of Rumania and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, wife of the President of the United States, will meet this afternoon for the first time. Abandoning for the moment ‘the democratic role she has assumed since her introduction to American life, Queen Marie will observe all the rigid etiquet of the occasion, made neces. sary by diplomatic custom, by paying an official call upon the President and Mrs. Coolidge at the White Ilouse, the hour for the excharnge of courtesies neing 4 o'clock. On this, her fi visit to the White House, her majesty will be accompanied by her two chil- dren, Princess Ileana and Prince Nicholas, Immediately after the return of the | royal party to the legation the Presi-! dent and Mrs. Coolidge will return the | call. The entire proceedings of the two events, it was said, will hardiv be more than a half hour’s duration. Tonight the Queen and her party again will be guests at the White House at a formal dinner and recep- tlon, prior to their departure from Washington tomorrow morning. Gates to Be Closed. Immediately upon the return of the royal party from a trip to Mount Ver- non, White House attaches made pre- paratory arrangements for the wel- coming of Queen Marfe. The gates of the White House will be closed promptly at 3 o'clock. No one will be allowed Inside the grounds after that hour. This precaution is being | taken to prevent a_repetition of th scene when the Prince of Wales visited the White House, at which time a crowd of 3,000 admirers halted traffic in the grounds and greatly in- terferred with the approach of the prince and his party. Two policemen will be posted at each gate, but no attempt will be made to bar the crowds from the street in front of the White House. Shortly before the appointed hour the White House car, bearing Assist- ant Secretary of State J. Butler Wright, as the President’s personal representative; Col. Sherwood A. Cheney, United States Army, and Capt. Wilson Brown, United States Navy, chief military and naval aides to the President, will depart for the legation. At 3:45 o'clock the royal party will be conveyed to the White House. M. Radu T. Djuvara, charge d'affaires for Rumania, will accom- pany them. There has been much speculation as to the manner in which the Presi- dent would greet her majesty on this initial visit. The arrangements will be simple and expedient, though thor- oughly in keeping with the dignity and the formality of the occasion. Upon arrival at the White House, the Queen, accompanied by Djuvara, will be shown into the blue room, set aside for all such oc- casions of state. A minute or two later the President and Mrs. Coolidge | will enter the spacious chamber. The Queen will be introduced to them by Mr. Wright. President Coolidge is xpected to do no more than bow and accept the Queen’s hand. After the| introduction and exchanze of greet- | ings, Princess lleana and Prince Nich- oias will be presented to them by the Queen. It not expected that the few formalities at the White House would require more than 10 minutes. Leaving the White House, the President’s car will convey the royal party back to the legation. At 4:30 clock, the President and Mrs. Cool- idge, in keeping with diplomatic cus- tom, will return the call. This will be dly more than the mere formality of extending to them In person an in- vitation to dine at the White House tonight. Preparations for the state dinner in honor of the royal party at 8 o'clock and the reception to follow it, were not fully divulged early today. The dinner, it id, will be at- tended by less than 50 persons, where- as the usual diplomatic dinner at the White House has seats for about 80 guests. List of Guests Is Small. Besides the members and ladies of the Cabinet, the Queen's own party and members of the Rumanian lega- tlon, there will be a very small and ect sprinkling of diplomatic and social representatives. The list of suests had not been announced at a late hour. Arriving at the White House, a few minutes before 8 o'clock, the royal party will be escorted again to the blue room. After the for- malities of presentation are over, the President and Mrs. Coolidge will enter the room and greet their guests. The President will offer his arm to the Queen and escort her into the dining room. Prince Nicho- las will escort Mrs, Coolidge. Who will escort the Princess Ileana, White House attaches were not prepared to say. After the dinner the host and hostess will receive the royal party and guests in the blue room. No other invitations have been issued to this reception, it was said. The Queen and her party will rise early tomorrow morning, for at 9 o'clock she pays farewell to Wash- ington. Accompanied by the charge d'affaires and Mr. and Mrs. J. Butler Wright, she will motor at that hour to Annapolis to visit the Naval Acad- emy and be received by Gov. Ritchie of Maryland. The royal party will leave Annapolis at noon by motor for Baltimore. Stowaways Found On Queen’s Train On Way to Capital By the Associated Press. Two stowaways were found aboard the royal train which brought Queen Marie from New York to Washington. One of them, a young woman, had ensconed herself in the bag- gage car, but both were discover- ed soon after the train left New York, and were put off at Phila- delphia. The tWwo were newspaper report- ers who had failed to obtain the necessary credentials. SEEKS MILDER ALIEN LAW Mooney of Ohio Would Admit Fam- ilies of ThHose Already Here.

MOSCOW, October 19.—Russian workers contributed two-thirds of the $6,360,000 which English miners have recelved since the start of the coal strike, according to a statement is- sued by the central council of 23 Russlan unions. Total relief to each striker averaged $8.75, while the indi- vidual contributions of the Russian workers averaged 55 cents.” The system followed so far has been to deduct one day's pay each month. Some unions suggested that the contri- butions be reduced, making them 1 per cent of the monthly pay. The statement of the council followed, declaring that Russian workers and unions “‘will remain faithful to their friends to the end.’ According to the statement, the A.

In some countries powerful voices are pleading for the suspension of tariffs, alto- gether. “Others have suggested the conclu- sion for long periods of commercial agreements embodying in every case the most favored nation clause. “‘Some states have recognized in re- cent treaties the necessity of freeing trade from the restrictions which d press it. And experience is slow teaching others that the breaking down of the economic barriers be- tween them may prove the surest remedy for the stagnation which ex- ists.
