Near the close of yesterday's session, however, testimony of two newspaper men brought into the inquisitorial arena the occurrences of two years or more ago when Mrs. McPherson's case was dropped. In the ‘midst of an argument as to the admissibility of testimony given by Arthur L. Marek, a reporter, the chair- man of the committee, Walter J.

During the heated argument regarding Marek's - testimony, Cromwell Ormsby, one of Mrs, McPherson's attorneys, was forcibly ejected from the committee room after his violent and repeated ob- Jjection to the line of testimony, which dealt with conversation Marek had a few months ago with Mrs. Minnie Ken- nedy, mother of the Evangelist, with whom she now is a} odds.

Celébration’ Recalls Tragic Moment Youthful Ruler Ascended to Throne. By the Associated Press. SOFIA, January 31.—Bulgaria cele- brated the thirty-fifth birthday of King Boris yesterday. The event was observed with genéral rejoicing, all the more en- thusiastic because of the belief that the royal bachelor will soon take a wife for himself and give his people a queen. ‘The young King came to the throne in an hour of tragedy. Since October 3, 1918, Boris has directed the destinies of his country under formidable handicaps. ‘When he ascended the throne his king- dom had just lost its third war in the space of six years. ‘His. father, King Ferdinand, had left the country under the compulsion of the government and of public opinion—the country that he had ruled for 30 years. At the time of deepest tragedy for Bulgaria Ferdinand abandoned the su- preme power to his son—to Boris, a young man but scantily versed in public affairs, extremely modest, almost timid. King Cotifronted by Revolt. ‘The throne 'to ‘which young Boris mounted was more like a rocking chair than a seat of regal power. Revolt was rumbling through the country in the wake of the crumbling of the Germanic powers, and insurgents, returning from the front, were menacing the capital. Already at Kustendil an imposing as- sembly of discontented soldiers, directed by members of the Peasant party, had proclaimed a republic. ‘What would be the fate of the mon- archy? What authority could the young sovereign wield? What would become of Bulgaria herself? Uncertainties of this kind aroused the anxiety of all, and made th: task of King Boris wel.l- nigh terrif} But Bo! stuck to his post. He be- lieved in the future of his people. He had complete faith in the hnlthy spirit and good sense of the Buigarian peasant. During this evil time he estab- lished a real kinship with his subjects.

Boris proved that he was suited to the Bulgarian people and its rough and honest farmers. Simple and modest, accessible to all, the young man in a few years gained the hearts of his countrymen, won the sympathies which the autocracy and absolutism of his father were unable to conciliate in a period of 30 years. Palace Shrouded in Gloom. But for all these sympathies and the devoted affection which had been offer- ed him, Boris has had a gloomy reign. No festivities have brightened the cloomy palacé of Sofia. No animated has bustled around the young mverel[n. who_detests the pomp and display in which old Ferdinand gloried. Boris cared nothing for festivals, receptions and balls. - His modest budget of $43,000 did-not encourage extrava- gances. His anxieties of government have been his only occupation. Reading, quiet physical exercises and automobile travel have been his sole recreations.
