TURIN, I September 5.—Hum- voy, Prince of Pledmont, and [ heir to the Ttalian throne, who moved |into the old Roman Palace here upon [coming of age September 15, 1925, | enjoys a popularity in Italy that is | constantly increasing. | Good looking, tall and with a win- n smile, tihe Italian Crown l’r!n(‘(‘ has won a real place in the affections | f his people. | 0 obtain first hand a picture of » Humbert and his court I ap-| for an audience.

The prince | four aides—Capt. Sovera, Capt. | Capt. Gilberti and Capt. De santare wo are army one an aviation captain and fourth a naval captain. Capt. era took me into the reception ck-re Prince has ssidi Prince Humbert was standing near a window. He is a tall, slender young man., He mottoned me to come for- ward, greeted me and asked me to be seated. Talking with the prince is easy. es one the impression of having one before. peaks the fine which the royal of Europe seem to maintain_as a kind of perquisite. | Neither Oxford mor Yale, Cambridge | nor Harvard; just gracious English without affectation or emphasis. The prince agreed to be questioned. We spoke first of sports. SRiing, mo- toring, tennis and flying are the prince’s favorites. Fond of Snow. “I am very fond of the snow,” tlhe id. “I love skiing especially. In Winter T often go to Clavieres or Bardonnechia.” These are villages in the Alps near Turin. “It’s great fun, and one of the best sports imagin- able.” Alpine avendtures the prince dis- claimed, though he spoke of thrilling chamois hunting on the King's Al- pine preserves, the finest in the coun- try. ‘Seeing my glance resting upon the many old masters and a collection of china which is one of his minor in- terests, the prince asked if I should care to see his rooms. . Moving a door to the right he opened the green shutters of a nearby window, revealing a beautiful vista of the palace gardens framed in sub- alpine hills. “Nice view, isn’t it?” he said. “That hill over there,” he added, indicating one of the chapel-crowned many that surround Turin, “is where my family is_buried.” The prince then showed me his study and work table. “Would your highness like to go to America?” I asked. “Yes, indeed, I should,” he replied. “And T hope to one day. But if I go, 1 shou'l Jike to stay a while and see the counlry. I shouldn't care to go cnly for 10 days or a fortnight's visit. Probably I shall make the trip some day, though nothing of the kind is under consideration at present.” May Fly to U. S. A moment earlier we had mentioned Lindbergh, Chamberlin and Byrd, for whom the prince had expressed great admiration. Coupling this with our new turn in the conversation he said: “I'll fly there, perhaps.” This was said in fun, but there was something in the prince’s voice that made me feel that he will fly it provided the opportunity. The prince's bedroom proved to be a square chamber, some 13 or 15 yards across. A big talking machine stood on a table. “Does your highness like modern dance music?” I asked. The prince said he liked both music and dancing. “Any your highness’ favorite dance —is it fox-trot or Charleston?” “I like them both,” he replied. “I'm quite keen on them; they're great fun.” The prince then told me that he buys regularly all the modern -dance records as soon as they arrive in Turin. His friends say he is a fine dancer, Ensuing conversation revealed the prince as a lover of classical and op- eratic music. He plays the piano. Prince Is Bibliophile. Prince Humbert's real enthusiasm is for book collecting, a taste he inherits from his father, History is his fa- vorite subject. Among the many books in the handsome collection he has made for himself are a number of ssical historical works, monographs amous persons and rare pamphlets on the lives of notable men of the past, mostly kings and statesmen, soldiers and patriots, both Italian and foreign. “My special collection,” said the prince, “is that on my own family. I have books in many languages con- cerning my family. 1 believe my col- lection is larger even than my her's.” In our conversation the prince al- ays referred to the House of Savoy my family” and to King Victor 'my father.” The prince then showed me his col- lection of pictures, portraits and prints | f members of the House of Savoy. | nis has been his special hobby for last two pr three years. Its im- rtance is now generally recognized by experts. In addition to the pic- tures, the prince has a large collection of cameos, medals and bronzes. He is | his own archivist for the collection. Reads American Magazines, The prince told me that he fol- lows the British and American liter- ary reviews and the literary pages of the newspapers with interest and that | he keeps in close touch with new his- | torical books in English, THe prince reads from time to time American publications whose names are household words in the United States. The prince knows American novel- ists well. He declined, however, to name his favorite American author. Modern Italian literature the prince cnows well, He is especially fond of Pirandello, whom he received at the | palace last year when the .dramatist and his company played at Turin, Iteturning to the reception room I asked Prince Humbert what he | thought of American women. The prince smiled. “Ah, the beautiful, intelligent Ameri- can,” he said. “They're very under- standing, aren’t they?” The talk returned to sports. The till life's finish is in WALT MASON. ok (Oopyrighs. 19270 prince likes motoring. He has four cars of Itallan manufacture.

Vachting is a sport to which the prince felt that he was naturally at- tracted. We talked of the recent regattas at Naples and elsewhere, 1 asked if he did not think that the: would tend to attract the larger racers to Italian water: “Certainly,” said Prince Humbert, “Our Italian waters offer a splendid center for yachting, but, of course, the distance from the famous resorts of England and France make it difficult for foreigners to come and compete here. At the same time, I don't think there could be a lovelier or more suit- able stretch of water for yachting than the Bay of Naples.” The growing importance of Ttalian vachting captured the prince’s en- thuslasm, “I think if other nations sent their vachts in larger numbers and bigger raters,” he added, ‘“they would be ._surprised at the progress of our yacht- ing. It has made great steps of late years.” Speaks Five Languages The prince speaks four languages apart from Italian—English, French, Spanish and German. ‘I am really only conversant with German,” he said. “French is my best foreign language, and then Eng- lish. Here in Turin I do not have much opportunity of speaking English, so I get a little out of practice.” The time allocated for my audience was running out. We started back for the large reception room. My au- dienco was the last of the morning. I had been preceded by a monsignor, principal of the aristocratic College of Moncalieri, near Turin, and by the governor of one of the Italian colonies. The prince was in the uniform of & major of infantry. “My regiment is leaving Turin to- night,” he explained, “to march by stages to Cesano, where there will be some evolutions of troops, at which I shall be present.” Serves in Infantry. The prince’s regiment, the 90th, is stationed at Turin. He attends to his military duties every day, taking his turn of service with the other officers, I was told also that when in resi- dence at Turin, Prince Humbert tele- phones King Victor every evening, and has a 10-minute or so chat with his father. Back in the reception room the prince dismissed me with the smile that is one of the most charming char- acteristics of the young man of 23 who will one day rule regenerated Italy, (Coy . 1927, R S SRR Yo — ALEXANDRIA.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., September 5.— Distribution of poisoned candy to chil- dren in a South Side neighborhood was being investigated by the police here today. A woman was being sought. Police revealed that two boxes of candy found in the neighborhood last week contained poisoned wheat, and that three persons who ate candy at a Sunday school party became ill. Other incidents in the neighborhood recently led investigators to express the belief that some one of unbalanced mind had a grudge against families in which there were children. Early last week tacks were thrown in driveways of homes in the vicinity and eral tires were punctured. Several children told mothers of being threatened with “arrest” by an elder- ly woman. The woman also was re- ported to have chased chiliren on several occasions. The 4-year-old daughter of Mrs. Julia Thayer found a box of candy ard of a neighbor yesterday. The child showed the candy to the inother, who found it had been tam- vered with. A druggist examined it and said he believed it contained poison. The sent to the city chemist to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Dills Friday night, where a Sund: school ¢l 'ty was in progre: and three of those who ate the candy became ill. The package was deliv- ered by a drug store delivery boy. A clerk at the store and the delivery boy said the package was brought to the store by a woman, who asked that it be delivered. She gave the boy 15 cents for his grouble. The candy was not. purchased at that store. - Italy Records Quake. FAENZA, Italy, September 5 (#).— Raphael Bendandi, head of the Tul- luric Observatory, reported that an earth shock was registered on the seismograph yesterday. The quake was about 6,700 kilometers (approxi- mately 4,140 miles) distant, and Prof. Bendandi figured that it probably oc- cslrred in central Asia.

C., September 5.— County officials today continued their nquiry into the slaying of J. Smith etty, former local cotton mill over- er, whose body was found Saturday suried in a cellar under a house once cupied by the Petty family. Sheriff J. F. Smith today was slent i to whether or not any one else was uspected in the case, but it was nown that until it was definitely de- termined whether or mot more than one person was involved in the killing ind burial of Petty months ago, the inquiry would be continued. Mrs. Alma Petty Gatlin, bride of two months and daughter of the dead man, today sat in the county jail held on a charge of murder. She continued stoutly to deny any knowledge of the | crime with which she is charged and | to which the Rev.
