There was no in dication, other than the necktie, of any prolonged struggle. Scrivener was to have been married on the night of the day of his murder. With these facts in hand, detectives started investigation of the case. Today, & week later, they were cer- tain of the above details and little else.

WASHINGTON, VIVID COLOR ATTENDS DINNER -~ AT WHITE HOUSE FOR MARIE gation of the case went forward. Per- | com- | vears old, of Har- | fight | The crowning social event of Queen Marie's visit was the state dinner last night at the White House, with the President and Mre. Coolidge as hosts for the Nation. Much of the formality which might otherwise have obtained was relieved by the e earlier in the afternoon. With the punctiliousness of her long | training at court. beginning at her hirth and continuing as she herself became a King's consort, the Queen arrived at the White House promptly at & o'clock, accompanied by Princess Tleana and I'rince hs. They went at once to the red room, and the Rumanian natfonal anthem was piay- ed. They were then taken to the blue room, where the invited guests were assembled in a circle. Capt. Wil- son Brown, the President’s naval aide, made the circuit of the room, intro- ducing the guests to the Queen. The Queen’ then took her station at the vight of the doorway and with the Marine Band Orchestra playing ““The Star Spangled Banner,” the President and Mrs. Coolidge joined the compar first meeting the Queen and the prince and princess and circling the room to welcome the other guests. i Ornaments of Queen. to the the set- The company state dining room, wh ting for a great state the view. The Queen and Princess Tleana and Prince Nicholas with the members of the suite were greeted by thousands of residents of the Capital who waited on the outside of the tall iron rail- ing surrounding the grounds and cheered Her Royal Highness as she drove into the grounds. There was a light in her limousine and the regal splendor of her costume was ap- parent. Her Royal Highness wore a regal- laoking robe, a Patou model, of heavy white crepe almost covered with a_de- <ign of brilliants and tiny white heads. fashioned with a round neck much lower in the back than at the front and made without sleeves. Sweeping wing draperies covered the arms and fell to the hottom of the skirt which was finished in three deep scallops at both the front and back. She wore a handeau or modi- fied tiara of diamonds and pearls and many strands of pearls were wound abont her throat and hung low on the hodice. Tler wrap, fashioned almost like a cape, was also a P’aton model, of gold and cream white velvet bro cade with a bread collar of sable, which exteqded in broken line down the front il panels that flared at the bottom, #nd extended to the sides of the garment. There were no sleeves, but the sable marked long slits through which she thrust her arms. Princess Tleana wore u rather girlish gown of blue georgette embroidered in cut steel and crystals. There was a large ornament of the steel and crys tals across the front at the low walst line, and bands of the trimming fell from the round neck of the bodice to the bottom of the skirt, parting below the large ornament to show an under- dress of plaited chiffon. Her wrap was fashioned of white crepe with large white collars and cuffs of swansdown Mrs. Mys. Coolidge was lovely in a gown of graceful ontline, fashioned of white grosgrain silk. very heavy and soft and showing a brocade of flowers in larze clusters, in pastel shades. There were two long panel trains lined with Iavender silk and she wore two ropes {of pearls hanging low on the bodice, The White louse drawing room suite was not more elaborately deco- rated for the reception of the Queen than is usual for state functions. In the blue room, where the royal guests were received, there were pale pink roses on the mantel and on low stands alternating with the palms in the | civeulsr window were huge bowls of pink cosmos flowers.

Blackburn, headkeeper of the zoo, and an assistant will go to Boston to meet the ship and assist in handling the animals. More Space Needed. With definite news of the ship's progress, the Zoo has become the scene of intense activity. It is neces- sary to double up practically all the cages. Ilach exhibition house will be made to hold as many as possible of the new animals, and it may be nec- essary to put up some temporary structures. It is planned to put the new an imals where they will be most readily avallable to the public. The collection will be brought from Boston by rail. It is belfeved to con tain & considerable number of speci mens never hefore shown in this country, and hence will be of greut scientific as well as popular interest. The expedition to Tanganyika is the greatest wild animal hunting ex- pedition undertaken since the Rooset velt-Smithsonian _ African expedition undertaken by the former President at the explration of his term in the White House. Tanganylka Province was formerly a part of German Kast Africa. It had been only slightly explored and its game had been protected from hunters and collectors by rigid re strictions. Tt was awarded to Great! RBritain under the terms of the Treat of Versailles and the policy of pro tection was continued. Thus it re mained to this day with most of the typical African beasts undisturh- ed, living as they lived when Living- stone and Stanley first entered the interior of the dark continent. Most of the vest of Africa has been over- run with hunters and collectors so that the big game is greatly dimin- ished. Student Started More. Tast Fall a voung Harvard Uni- versity student came to Washington Dr. Mann. He was W. H. Leveredge, who had heen a soldier in the British forces in Iast Africa_during the war after the de- feat of the Germans had been appoint- ed deputy game warden of Tanga- nyika. Leveredge told thrilling storles of the virgin jungles of the new Brit. ish possession, where the most prized of all wild animals could be seen in herds almost any da The wealth of Tanganyika previously had not been realized either in the United States or England. Dr. Mann determined upen an ex- pedition and first considered the pos- sibility of local financing.

CHICAGO, October 20.—An agree- ment among the friends of Hugh S. Magill, independent Repuhlican can- didate for the-Senate in Tllinois, that his campaign fund should not ex- | ceed $25.000 was testified to today before the Senate campaign fund: committee by Julius Rosenwald, multi- millionaire merchant of Chicago. Asked by Chairman Reed if there had been any suggestion among M: glll's friends of raising a campaign fund of from $300,000 to $400,000, senwald declared that this was “absolutely umtrue." “We agreed that the total fund should not exceed $25,000," he said, adding that he had agreed to con- tribute up to $3,000 of this amount. and that Logan llay, State Senator of Springfield, had agreed to give £1,000.

As a preliminary to this investiga- tion Senator Reed has issued sub- poenaes for Clyde A. Walb. chairman of the Republican State committee of Indiana, and Farl S.

The chairman planned to question Walb particularly concerning his re- cent statement that ‘“International bankers” were expending a large sum of money in Indiana in an effort to defeat Senators James E.
