MINISTER ARRIVES FROM BUCHAREST _18-Year-Old Daughter Will Be Hostess to Marie on Return to Capital. Rumania’s newly appointed minis: ter to the United States, M. George Cretziano, has arrived in Washing- ton as the successor to Prince Bib- esco, who was recalled by his Gov- ernment nearly a year ago. Accompanied by his 18-year-old daughter, Mlle. Jean Cretziano, who will be hostess to Queen Marie upon her returning visit to Washington, the new minister came here late last night from New York, where he had landed earlier in the day from the French liner ance. This {5 his first vicit to Washington. and today M. Cretziano and his daughter took the ovportuniiy of a lull in affairs to get daylight Arran the o of M.

Youngest Diplomatic Hostess. The new Minister and his young daughter are among the most inter- esting members of the dinlomatic col- ony in Washington. Mile Cretziano. who is her father's housekeeper, will preside over the legation at 1607 Twenuy-third street, which was the scene of mfany gala social_events in the regime of Prince and Princess Bibesco. She will be the youngest dip- lomatic hostess in Washington, hut her varied accomplishments — she speaks six languages, including E lish—will enable her to fill the po of hoctess with efficiency. M. Cretziano, upon his arrival® in the United States, refrained from gom- mentin= about the dispute over the recent debt settlement, which caused the withdrawal of his predecessor in Washinzton, beyond remarking that it was a regrettable incident. With regard to the rumors circulated in financial circles connecting the visit of Queen Marie to America with the floating of a large loan from private bankers in this country, the Minister said: “I have no instructions to negotiate a loan, but there is a possibility later that Rumania may seek funds in the United States for the development of her agriculture, oil fields, railroads and industries. Conditions have im- proved in Rumania during the last four years, under a stable, liberal gov- ernment. But capital is badly needed. The situation in Bessarabia and Transylania had also much improved under the new land act, which di- vides the big estates into small parcels of land for the benefit of the peasant farmers. The only trouble is that it is working rather slowly, because the government has not got sufficient capital to pay the indemnities to the big landowners. Gratified Over Tour. M. Cretziano is much gratified over the reception Queen Marie is receiving on her American tour. The peopie of Rumania,” he indicated, also feel greatly indebted to the United States on this score. He is looking forward with much pleasure to receiving the Queen here at the legation when she returns from her tour of the West late this month. The new Minister is about 55 years old, schooled in the ficld of diplomacy by nine years spert in Madrid as the representative of his country. He speaks French, Italian and Spanish and understands English, but does ot speak it. The study of English, he said, is one of the first duties that he will master. M. Cretziano is personally friendly with the American Minister at Bucharest, Dr. Willlam S. Culbertson, y a member of the United ‘ariff Commission. He took sion to correct an impression that ulbertson recently had been at- tacked at a railroad station in Ru- mania. M ALL HOPE ABANDONED FOR 45 ENTOMBED IN FLOODED MINE (Continued from First Page) _ when ‘the cavein started he said. “Just a little farther in from the shaft were Tom Kirb; .; Joe Mankee and John antti.

It was 800 feet to the surface and they tell me I was up less than 10 minutes after the men on the sur- face first heard the rumbling. Cage Was Ascending. “Mud and water were right at my heels all the w: up. When I reached the susface my boots were coated with mud.” Cageman 1drew Malvazie and Ed Hallman and Albert Tippett were on the cage, ascendir when the cave-in occurred.

Reaching the top, they signaled to be lowered again and had gone down only about 50 feet when they were met by a blast which lifted the -age upward 4 feet. It was this blast. in the opinion of Will, which hurled his companions frdm the ladder and back into the debris which closed upon them. A grief-s ¢rowd of women and children, most of them widows and orphans’ of the victims., kept vigil throughout the night about the great gaping mudpit which marked the grave of the miners. Forty - of the men believed drowned or suffo- -ated were married and most of them leave children. Throngs Rush to Scene. Huddled about bonfires and in company shacks the little 'groups presented a pathetic picture. Hol- low-eved with despair, they clutched at the scant hope that in some miraculous manner their loved ones may have been spared. They re- fused to leave the scene for any rest and spent the night alternately praying and hovering about the workmen draining the shaft. Curiosity seekers were barred from the company property shortly after the cave-in and only officials and relatives of the entrapped men were permitted on the grounds.

T do not know how I man- aged to fasten my most brilliant tiara on my head and my official decora- tions ‘on my dress. But it was all done somehow and I am told that I achieved a very regal aspect. Mr. Nelson Cromwell, the kindly protector and leader of the Friends of Rumania, came to fetch me all re- splendent with his Rumanian grend cordon, and he conducted me to the brilliantly lighted and superbly dec- orated halls of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. assembled, and 1 was greeted by a | committee of Friends of Rumania, all of whom are devoted to our cause. Charmed by Welcome. In a regal procession we then pro- ceeded to the upper reception rooms. where a brilliant crowd of guests had assembled to greet me and welcome me to their tremendous town. Mr. Cromwell had done everything well, and had decorated with Autumn leaves and chrysanthemums. I stood in front of a thronelike chair and here I had presented to me many in- teresting and charming people, head- ed by Gen. Pershing. Some I had known abroad, but most of them were strangers to me, although they cer- tainly did not let me feel like a stranger, so charming was their wel- come. According to the American custom 1 shook hands with every one, and discovered it to be almost as fatiguing as 1 had been told it was. But my strength has no end when I am in & svmpathetic atmosphere, and this was the case with a vengeance that evening. Hardly ever have I been received with more evident expres- slons of pleasure. One thing which struck me tremendously was what charming things Americans find to lsay. They treated me like a sister they had long desired to take into their midst. The official presentations over, the carpet was cleared and nearly every one began to dance, while I looked on rom my- thronelike chair, enjoy- ing the charming sight, seeing old and young sharing in the same pleasure. All were eager and delighted and none was out of place. Although we were dead tired, we were not at all eager to go home, so happy did every one make us feel. But I can- not say that hed was not a welcome Maven when it was reached. Quiet Morning an Illusion. T had hoped to keep the morning for myself—that is to say, to do a little writing_and to receive a few friends—but this was an illusion soon dispelled, driven away by the many engagements people had made for me quite without my knowing. But a queen is to a certain extent public property, and she must never protest if by so doing she may upset any ar- rangement in which others are con- cerned. So before I knew what was happening 1 was whisked off to the public library. g This was, indeed, worth visiting. It is a grand bullding and a magnificent institution. 1 was led through the whole build ing by a charming, young-faced, gray haired gentleman. His was one of the most delightful faces I had yet met, but I missed his name when he was presented. I later discovered it to be Mr. Francis Polk, with whom I had often corresponded during the peace conference and who had been a stanch friend to Rumania when we were sore beset. The name of Polk always had filled me with a sense of gratitude, and there I had been, walk- ing by his side and charmed by his personality, all unconscious of his be- ing the friend who had stood by us in our need. Later, when I saw him, he told me that he had realized that I had not understood who he was, but that he had been too shy to ex- plain. We had a good laugh over that, but I told him I regretted even that short hour when I had not known that one who had tendered me such precious ald was walking beside me and that I had not been able to express my thanks. More Packages and Flowers. Audiences were awaiting me when 1 returned to the hotel and there were more packages and more flowers. Everywhere the police stood about in a way to which I had not been accus- tomed in Europe. They were friendly, cheerful and patient, but, neverthe- less. it takes a little time to get ac- customed to being guarded as though one were something infinitely precious which others might try to steal. I found, however, that the only way to stand the strange and disconcerting state of affairs was to make personal friends of these policemen and to even take them into every joke. 1 dressed. somehow, as I nowadays always seem to dress, in a room with every door open, the floor strewn with flowers, the chairs piled with bundles and the tables bending beneath the weight of letters, hats, dresses, cloaks, shoes, fans and gloves. Stockings and perfume bottles were heaped on the bed and two haggard maids, dazed and hollow-eyed, were misunderstanding orders and placing crown jewels upon the last free stool. With it all the ibsurd “Craggie” was marching up and down with a green and red slipper in his mouth, officlously insisting that he was part of the show. In spite of all this pandemonium 1 managed to don a smart velvet dress, a becoming hat that did not hide my face too much, and off I went to what might have been a rather severe ordeal.

FINERPRIT BIPERTS CALLE Sergt. Sandberg ‘and J. H. Taylor to Testify in Hall- Mills Case Soon. Detective Sergt. Fred Sandberg of the Police Department and J. H. Tay- lor, chief of the identification div on of the Bureau of Navigation, Navy Department, two of Washin; ton's leading experts in fingerprints, will probably be heard within the next day or two from witness chairs in the trial at Somerville, . for three defendants in the murder of Dr. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills. Without leaving definite word as to where he was going, Mr. Taylor left Washington quietly last night bound for ‘some place mnear New York.” A long-distance telephone call ar- rived for Sandberg this afternoon, after which he made immediate ar- rangements for a trip to Somerville, 3 prepared to testify as to finger- prints in the Hlall murder case. The fingerprint testimony, accord- ing to Prosecutor Simpson’s outline of the State's case in his opening statement to the jury vesterday, is expébted to identify the person whose fingerprint was left upon the calling card of Dr. Edward Wheeler Hall, which was left dramatically tilted beside the feet of his body. Simpson said that he expected to connect this fingerprint with one from the hand of “Willie” Steven: brother of Mrs. Hall, and Henr) Stevens, who are both on trial with him indicted for the murder. The testimony of the Washington experts, therefore, is indicated through the opening statement of Prosecutor Simpson as being of great importance in the establishment of the case against Willie Stevens. 22 LOSE PERMITS. Suspensions by Eldridge Set New Record for City. A new record for suspension of automobile operators’ permits was established today by Traffic Director M. O. Eldridge.

This is held by friends of the com- | munity chest idea to be the first prac- !tical step vet taken here toward the |erfous study of the community plan {for raising and apportioning funds. ! A special committee appointed by the | District Commissioers last year con- siderell such a proposition, but re- |ported that Washington was not yet |ready for the plan, because most of {the charitable organizations and in- | stitutions did not know enough about the proposition at that time. Thor- ough study by these organizations was recommended. Hopes for Organization. ™ It was to put this recommendation into practice that the Citizens' Reliel Assoclation adopted the resolution and appointed a committee to begin such a study. It is the hope of the association that a committee of rep- resentatives of all relief and chari- table organizations may be formed and carry the investigation to the point of ascertaining what the busi- ness and’professional interests of the city think of a_community chest plan. Walter C. Clephane, who was for several years secretary of the origi- nal charities endowment committee, sald he had long felt in connection with the work of that committee that the individual method of raising funds was wasteful and_ unbusinesslike. Wallace Hatch and Louis Brownlow, former District Commissioner, also discussed the chest idea. and gave thelr views on steps to be taken to insure success. Dorsey W. lyde, jr., of the civic development department of the United tes Chamber of Com- merce said they had been making a study of community chests for the past five years and that among some 250 such movements in different cities the record showed there had been less than a dozen failures. Never Properly Presented. Canon William De Vries strongly advocated the resolution offered by Mr. Moses, and emphasized especially the need of relieving the executives of walfare organizations of the burden of raising funds so that they might de- vote their time to administration and supervision. A. J. Driscoll said he be- lieved that the arguments for the community chest had never been properly presented to the various citi- zens’ associations of this city. Others present were: Evan H. Tuck- er, vice president, who presided in the absence of Col. H. J. Slocum, presi- dent: Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, Mre. Cuno H. Rudolph, Mrs. James Brown cott, Louls A. Simon, Mgr. C. F. 'homas and George S.

Clephane to ley Durkee. The present officers the board were re-elected. as follo Col. Slocum, president; Evan H. Tucker, first vice president; Mrs. Mus- second vice president; Willlam ather, treasurer; Miss Virginia Marks, assistant treasurer, and Walter S. Ufford, secretary. The report of the treasurer, Wil- liam J. Flather, showed that the calls upon the association during the past vear had been unprecedented, both in number of families assisted and in the amount expended for material aid. These amounts_were: For food sup- plies, $15,316.05; for fuel, $1,551.56; shoes and clothing, $1.560.72; a total of $18.428.33. The report was accom- panied by a statement of audit by public accountants. POLICE INVESTIGATE GAS POISONING CASE Records State Physician Was De- nied Entry to Apartment—Her Condition Grave. | ¥ Police today started an investiga- tion into the gas poisoning of Mrs. Sylvia Torman of apartment 52, 918 Eighteenth street, who is in a serious condition at Freedmen's Hospital to- day, unconscious. following the di closure that Emergency Hospital rec- ords show a notation that a physician was refused admittance to the apart- ment when he responded on an am- bulance call there Tuesday. Mrs. Torman was taken to Freed- men's Hospital yesterday afternoon, and Dr. C. Q. Pair, who is treating her, pronouncegd her condition today as_‘‘very serious.” Learning that an ambulance had gene to the apartment Tuesday after- noon, police discovered that Emer- gency Hospital “ambulance-run’ rec. ords showed a notation that a call to this address was made, following which was another notation: *“Hus- band refused to let in.” At Freedmen's Hospital inquiry into the case developed that Mrs. Torman was known by persons acquainted with her to have been in previous spells of depression. It was also learned, according to physicians at Freedmen's Hospital in obtaining a history of the case, that her husband, W. Torman. had lost his temporary position with a large apartment house early this week. The police are investigating to clear up the puzzle. Dr. McNeill of Emergency Hos- pital, who responded on the ambu- lance run Tuesday, stated that he first went to 918 Fifteenth street, and there found no case, going to the proper address of 918 Eighteenth street, from that place. Arriving at that apartment house, he stated that a man informing him that he was the husband of the per- son {ll was by that time ‘getting along all right” and was in no need for treatment.

There will be a surplus in the treasury at the end of this year,” Mr. Madden was quoted. “It will amount to about $250,000,000. Next year we will undoubtedly he able to ‘arrange cut to become effective in 1928 on 1927 income.” Theater Tax May Go. Mr. Madden hesitated to forecast what taxes would receive the benefit of the next cut, but he indicated that the theater and amusement tax prob- ably would be removed, said the Daily News. The newspaper also related Mr. Mad- den’s story of the origin of quarterly payments of income tax. A man with a $10,000,000 income approached him with the statement that he had warehouses full of goods to sell, probably could raise $10,000,000 by dumping goods on the market, but to do so would break the market and hurt the: business of others dealing in the same line, with the effect pos- il eae il business and every- ndy."” resentatives and Payment ¥ 1 Burden. “What's true in my case is true of many lines of business,” Mr. Madden's visitor sald. “Taxes are pald in a lump sum at one time and everybody borrows to the hilt, or some of them do, because money is tied up in mer- chandise and can't be turned into cash again overnight. “(C'onsequently around income tax paying time a dangerous portion of credit is in use. That is not a healthy condition. It is not good for business nor the country at large.” Mr. Madden agreed to call a hear- ing, said the Dafly News, with the re- sult that the quarterly payment plan was devised. Veterans Postpone Dinner Postponement of their annual din- ner from February to the first Wed- nesday in May was decided upon last night at a meeting of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, at the New Willard Hotel. Col. Robert M. Thompson, commander of the order, said that the veterans would visit one of the nearby battleflelds, probably Fredericksburg or Bull Run, on the afternoon prior to the dinner.

Alligood is just naturally suspicious of Herbert Roy Sloane. lligood, now a member of the po- lice automobile squad, has no personal animosity against Herbert. In fact, ne owes the boy a debt of gratitude. But he simply cannot help being suspicious when Sloane is around. Alligood owes hig promotion in part to the capture of Herbert several years ago in connection with an auto- ‘mobile theft. Yesterday he saw Sloane, who s now 21 and lives in New York City, making a careful examination of the numbers on a hired automobile at Eighteenth and L streets. Thire was another youth with him. Alligood picked the two up on suspicion. His suspiclons were in- creased when, as the car neared po- lice headquarters, Sloane stepped on the gas, evidently with the inten- tion of avolding being taken there. The detective brought the car to a stop. At headquarters the boy was found to have on his person 246 new keys for all types of a certain car and more than $1,000 in cash. This fur- ther increased Alligood’s suspicions, although Sloane assured him there was nothing to be suspicious about, since a stranger had given the ke to him to deliver to another stranger on a street corner in Philadelphia. This explanation failed to impress Alligood and both boys are due for further questioning. They met in re- form school. Since reform school days. Sloane admits, he has served 19 months in prison in Philadelphia for auto stealing. U. S. CLERK DIES. ‘| w. silas Sheetz Was Resident of ‘Washington for 35 Years. ‘W.

VIRGINIAN IS SLAIN AND THREE BEATEN Youth Held for Safekeeping in Roanoke Jail After Attack in Home. By the Associated Press, ROANOKE. Va., November Charles Fringer, 74, Botetourt ty business man, is dead and his wife, 64: his 21-yvear-old daughter, Miss Hester Fringer, and Mrs. John v, are in a serious condition & a re- sult of an attack alleged to have been made upon the four this afternoon at the Fringer home, near Lithia, by Francis Walker, 20-yvear-old vouth of Lithia. Walker s brought to the Roanoke jafl for safe Kkeeping by Sheriff L. T. Mundy of Botetourt County-. Removal to Reanoke from Fin Castle, where Walker was taken in the afternoon, was ordered by Phillip Coen, commonwealth attorney of Botetourt. The attack is sald to have taken place yesterday about 1 o'clock. Fol- lowing dinner at the Fringer home, Mr. Finger, accompanied by Walker, went to his mill nearby. : Short afterward Walker, it was alleged, returned to the house and rang the door bell. Miss Fringer went to_the door. “A negro killed your father—don't make any noise.” Walker told Miss Fringer, according to the latter's statement. When she screamed Walker is al- leged to have struck her on the head with an iron bar, leaving her upon the floor.
