OWN. cazo Daily BY CONSTANTINE BR v Cable 1o The Star By a0 News Copyr a 14 LONDON, It —Private infor} mation reaching London today indif} cated that the situation is calm| throughout Rumania following the | ath of King Ferdingnd. i dpul\:‘v-cn Marie's futute attitude is un- certain. It is mot likely she will re main an indifferent spectator it dis-| content is brewing in Rumania. De-| spite Prince Carol's escapades she still regards him as the rightful heir| to the throme. She is reported to Averescu, | have made peace with Gen. and would :\mport him if he decided 1o place himself at the head of a Carolist party. A movement in favor of Carol would be opposed stubbornly by Premier Bratiano and would be almost certain to cause civil war. Talkes No Chances. Premier Bratiano, who now is the , real ruler of the kingdom, is taking .o chances. He has proclaimed mar- tial law in the country, removed | doubtful cornmanders of divisions and | regiments, replacing them with trust- ed officers, and has warned Gen. Averescu and other potential trouble makers that he will deal with them summarily at the slightest attempt to create trouble. Young Price Michael was proclaim- ed King yesterday afternoon at Bucharest ¢nd the entire army was sworn to allegiance to the new 5- year-old commander-inchief of the army and navy. This is the first time in the history of Rumania that a child has ascended | to the throne. In the dark middle s the country had boy rulers, Lut their reigns were short lived, ambiti- ous pretenders ending their rule with the aid of daggers or poison. Pressure Is Reported. Rumanians in London are not quite comfortable about ~“the - future of Michael. Contrary to general expecta- tions, neither his clever grandmother, Queen Marie, nor his mother, Helen, will have anything 4o say in the con: duct of Rumanian affairs. The quiet Helen, who inherited the diplomatic genius of her father, King Constantine of Greece, had hoped Ferdinand, just Tefore he died, might appoint ber a member of the regency, and “or this reason stubbornly refused to divorce her unfaithful husband, former Prince Carol. It is reported that pressure was hrought on the dying iing by rested parties, but that his long jliness had hroken his will power ond he was completely under the influence of Bratiano, who “did not want a foreign woman to mix in the country’s sffairs.” : There is no doubt the sitvation is well in hand at present ani no dramatic_developments are within the next few weeks. TRumanians here are worri>d about is the country’s situation in the more distant future. The regents are only figureheads. Prince Nicholas, the young King's uncle, is an {nexperienc- e young man. The patriarch of Rumania is an_old man without knowledge of public affairs. The chicl| justice of the Supreme Court is just 2 fair lawyer, who once was a member of Bratiano's party. Party Rule Expected. ing and such v is buund to With a 5-year-old a regency, the counti be ruled exclusively by the very astute prime minister, more in accordan vith the intercsts of his own party fhan in the general ‘interest of th: majority of the inhabitants. For the time being all is quiet, but the slizhtest unjust or vexations measures taken by the governmeni will assume greater proportions than at a time when the peopls cou'd ap- peal to the King to remove .he party in office. 0 ‘The populations of Transylvania and Bessarabia are incompletely as- similated, and since annexation have had frequent cause for corplaint against Bratiano's regime.

BUCHAREST, Rumania, July £1.— | A whole nation mourned today for its King as the body of Ferdinand lay in the great hall of the castle at Sinaia, with officers of a local mountain regi- ment standing guard. The castle, in the shade of great pines, was the place where Ferdinand passed away early yesterday morning. It was built by his uncle, King Carol, and at his own request Ferdinand will be buried beside his uncle and his aunt, Queen Elizabeth, better known to the world as Carmen Syiva. Cabinet’s Resignation Rejected. Rumania’s new king, Michael 1, a flaxen-haired boy of six, has already been installed before the National Assembly as Ferdinand's successor, and the regency council, which wil act until Michael becomes 18 years of age, was sworn in at the same time. All parties took the oath of allegiance to the new monarch; the liberal ministry, after the formality of tendering 1ts resignation to the regency council, which was rejected, continued at the helm. State troops throughout the coun- try have sworn their allegiance to the new regime and the capital and country are calm.

S. Proposals, § | By the Associated Press. The possibility of long delay be- fore the London government finally will formulate its attitude regarding the American three-power naval limi- tation proposals is seen as the result of the stress which British diplomats, in conversations with State Depart- ment officials, have placed upon the desires of the British dominions in the matter. The British Geneva delegation, these diplomats pointed out, speaks not for England alone but also for all the dominions, for whom the Brit. ish Navy is largely kept up. The dominions, in case of war, depend upon the British Navy not only for maintaining open trade routes but also for the actual protection of their coasts. The dominidns, British diplo- mats told the State Department, in- dorsed the original British proposal presented to the conference on its operiing day. Subsequent develop- ments and British concessions to both the American and Japanese view- points have been closely followed by the dominions, which have all along vigorously demanded that their safety in the event of war* be not jeopar- dized.

STATE GAME,LODGE, Black Hills Dak., July 21.—Secretary of Com- | merce Hoover today gave his approval of Gravelly I' "=t as a site for the Washington air port. Mr. Hoover, heve, conferring with President Cool- idge, declared that the Virginia loca- tion appeared to he preferable to the other sites which had been proposed. He said that he had given the airport problem in Washington only casual consideration, but that he was famil- iar with the other sites and was con- vinced that Gravelly Point offers the best advantages for a permanent airport, Like President Cooidge, the Com- merce Secretary is deeply interested | in the establishing of the port in the Capital and is inclined to think that Congress will grant anything in rea- son which the District Commissioners recommend. He hesitated to say just what Ishare of the expense of the proj- ect at Gravelly Point the Federal Government should bear, but he did give the intimation that he does not think the whole of its should be borne by the District. Mr. Hoover declared this point could be determined later. Believes in Speedy Action. Mr. Hoover thinks it is highly im- portant that the necessary steps be taken without delay to insure the es- tablishment of a municipal airport in the District. He 1s anxious to see Washington as one of the relay stops on the New York-to Atlanta air mail route. It was Mr. Hoover who orig- inally mapped out these continental air routes and from the very begin- ning Washington has been included in his plans as a port of call. It was included in the plans for these con- tinental routes when he secured Pres- ident Coolidge’s approval a year ago. The Secretary of Commerce has made (& Tong study of the subject of com- mercial aviation, and it has been.to him that the President has always looked for its promotion and develop- ment. It is one of the subjects he is known to be discussing with the Pres- ident during his present visit to the game lodge. While talking with newspare men yesterday afternoon he gave the im- pression that he has not yet been sold on the idea of establishing floating landing places in the Atlantic Ocean for the use of transatlantic fivers.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 21.—More than| one hundred hardy fiight fans, several | of them on the scene at dawn. were in line outside the Yankee Stadium at | 11 o'clock this morning, waiting for the opening of the sale of bleacher seats at 3:30 p.m. for the Dempsey- Sharkey fight tonight. | All box office operations were trans- terred from Madison Square Garden to the stadium, where Joe Boynton, in charge of sales. predicted a “gate” of not much more than a million. He estimated $1.050,000, which would be $200,000 short of a sell-out. There were plenty of seats at ringside prices available. A change in the day's program de- veloped when the boxing commission announced the weighing in of Demp- sey and Sharkey, as well as the pre- liminary boxers, would take place at | 1 pm. in Madison Square Garden in- | stead of an hour later at the commis- | sion’s offices, as originally scheduled. Allpreparations for handling a crowd of probably §0,000 spectators were completed well before noon at the stadium. The ring, the same one in which Sharkey scored a technical knockout over Mike McTigue in the Garden, was pitched at second base. This was 30 feet nearer the outfield than for the Maloney-Sharkey battle in May and permitted the installation of additional ringside seats. Arrival cf special cars and trains from Chicago, Boston — Sharkey’s home town—Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and_Pittsburgh brought thousands of fight fans to augment the metropolitan crowd. A party of 150 from Chicago was piloted by “Doc” Krone and incuded Packy McFarland, former lightweight star. Dempsey scaled 1943 pounds at the official weighingin before the New York State Athletic Commis- sion at Madison Square Garden th afternoon. The former champion stepped on the scales before Jack Sharkey, his opponent. appeared for the ceremony. Sharkey appeared for his turn on | the scales a few minutes after Demp- | sey left. The Boston boxer scaled | 196. The two did not meet, Dempsey leaving the Garden before Sharkey | arrived. Will Divide $500,000. Physicians making the formal medi- cal examination required by the hox- ing commission pronounced both men in_perfect condition.

A fight on the floor over a communi- cation from President Machado of Cuba and an attack by President Wil-| liam Green on communistic activities in Latin America divided attention of the Fifth Congress of the Pan-Ameri- can Federation of Labor here tod: The reading of the communication from President Machado, in which he indorsed the work of the congress and expressed confidence in its success, brought from Picardo A. Martinez, delegate from Venezuela, the charge that President Machado's administra- tion had seen ‘‘oppression, assault, murder, and other crimes” and the motion that his communication be stricken from the minutes ‘of the meeting. “There is a strong possibility,” Mar- | tinez declared, “that if this communi- cation is accepted, he would take ad- vantage of it to make it appear that he is the true protector of the work- | ing men of Cuba.” Woll Opposes Plan. Matthew Woll, American delegate, took issue with Martinez, declaring that to refuse to accept the communi- cation would be “foolish and contrary to parliamentary procedure. It in no way commits the conference or the del- egates,” heé said. “Rather it commits President Machado to a recognition of the Pan-American Federation of Labor as the only legitimate labor movement. Regavdless of his previous attitude, we can appeal to the workers and Machado cannot resist such an ap- peal.” President Green ruled that Mar- tinez's motion was out of order, and declaring that it would be injurious to the congress to reject the communica- tion, ordered it read into the record. Green’s attack on communism came a few minutes later, and was inspired by statements from delegates from Guatemala and San Domingo that forces were at work in those coun- tries seeking to destroy the influences of the federation. Green Issues Challenge. Challenging these forces “to point to one single act in the interest of human progress and achievement,” Green declared: “We will oppose com- munism or any other ism that seeks to desiroy the Pan-American Federa- tion of Labor as vigorously as we | oppose capitalism or those who seek to destroy us by any other means. “We know our enemies, even when they_come pretendin ds,” “(Continued on Page 5, Column 4 in service.

Renewed discussion of the possible | attitude of Southern drys toward a wet presidential candidate led Wayne B.

A one-sentence statement by the general counsel of the League, sent here from his Summer home in Michi- gan said: “Dr. Wayne B.

The statement was prompted by. the declaration of Bishop James Cannon, and Dr. Arthur J. Barton, repre- sentng the Southern Methodists and Baptists, respectively. that a recent expression by Mr. Wheeler on the subject represented only his own opin- ion, and not that the league. A paragraph in the Wheeler state ment referred to said: “There will be at least one of the na- tional dominant parties which will have a satisfactory candidate for the maintenance and enforcement of the eighteenth amendment. There is a possibility that both will be satisfac- tory. Then the league keeps hands off. If Gov. Smith is nominated, and the drys in the South would rather vote for an independent dry candiate for President than for a dry Republic- an, this would give them a chance to register their protest.” Bishop Cannon and Dr. Barton ob- jected to this statement, declaring that while Southern Democrats would never agree to the nomination of a wet candidate, if the Democrats should nominate a wet. ‘“dry Democrats, North as well as South, will doubtless determine what course they will fol- low."” Record Their Disagreement. | 2> not think it | propriate or helpful fo~ ~ leagus of- ficial to declare tha' one party will nominate a candidate satisfactory to the league,” said the statement, made | public last night, of Bishop Cannon | and Dr. Barton, who declared they felt | “constrained to record publicly their sagreement with Mr. Wheeler” on viewpoint. Their disagreement was based, they said, on Mr. Wheeler's implying that many Southern dry Democrats would be “too marrow to vote for the satis- factory dry Republican, but would demand the nomination of an inde- pendent dry Democrat, even though there would be absolutely no possi- bility of his election.” In expressing this difference of opin- ion, however, the two officials added there was “absolute unity of purpose among us” on the objective of the Anti-Saloon League to maintain and enforce the eighteenth amendment. They also highly lauded the work of Mr. Wheeler in the cause of prohibi- tion “during the past 30 years.” Sable Hunting Banned.
