A—2 x KELLEY HAS ROOM NEAR FIRING LINE Wilbur Critic Across From Department of Justice Pend- ing Developments. BY REX COLLIER. Ralph 8. Kelley, who has emerged from a quarter century of quiet Gov- ernment service into a bewildering biaze of publicity of his own making, has established himself across the street from the Department of Jus- tice to “awalt developments at the center of things,” with regard to his sensational broadside against Secretary ‘Wilbur's ofl shale policies. ‘The middle-aged former field execu- tive of the Interior Department's land office at Denver, Colo., whose unosten- tatious manner of conversation is not in keeping with the blistering attack delivered in writing against his su- periors, declared last night he is wiil- ing to “discuss matters” with Attorney General Mitchell or any other au- thorized person. “I have not declined to talk about this case with the Attorney General and with Assistant Attorney General Richardson,” Kelley told The Star in an interview at his hotel. “But I have refused to give any formal charges in writing to the Department of Justice. “I'm perfectly willing to discuss mat- ters with Mr. Mitchell or Mr. Richard- son at any time they see fi*. They know where I'm staying if they want to talk to me, and I'm going to re- main right here while there are any developments in progress.” Details To be Published. Kelley sald that full details of his complaint against the Interior Depa ment’s administration of oil shale pat- { ents in Colorado will be made public in the series of articles under his name to appear, beginning tomorrow, in a New York newspaper. Kelley is not the ;only person awaiting developments cue to follow publication of the charges.

PHILADELPHIA, October 4.— The estate of the late Wilson E. Stroudt amounts to $421. His will, adjudicated yesterday in Orphans’ Court, bequeathed to his sister-in-law, Mrs, Charles L. Stroudt, “all that parcel of land the Atlantic to the Pacific and all the trees and every living thing thereon.” To her son he left “the four winds of the earth, that he may enjoy them the same as I have.” MRS. GREECY STIRS AFTER LONG COMA Victim of Ax Attack Tries to Talk at Hospital—May Survive. For the first time since her admit- tance a week ago, Mrs. Louise Reif- snider Creecy stirred last night in her bed at Emergency Hospital and gave eigns of emerging from the coma whick has persisted since she was found, her skull fractured with an ax, in a room at the Mayflower Hotel beside the bullet-pierced body of her husband Lieut. Col. Richard Bennett Creecy, Marine Corps. The nurse in attendance at her bed- side was arrested as she moved about her duties when Mrs, Creecy sighed softly and half rolled over. Her lips, the nurse saw, began to frame inaudible words. . It was the first indication that Mrs. Creecy would survive the four savage blows, and the nurse hurried forth to summon a doctor. The doctor who responded pronounced Mrs, Creecy's condition “much improved.” Words Not Coherent. The 45-year-old patient seemed to want to talk. But her fevered words scarcely audible were not coherent. Police authorities, however, believe it 1s only & matter of hours now until Mrs. Creecy can relate what happened in the Mayflower Hotel room where she was found Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Creecy was unconscious. Not far from where she lay, partly beneath one of twin beds, was the body of her THE_SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. (. OCTOBER 5, 1930—PART ONE. ILINGLE PRISONER FOILS JAIL BREAK Gun Seized in Death Row Cell and Arrests Made on Story by Bell. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 4—A wholesale delivery from “murderers’ row” in the county jail was frustrated tonight by officials “as the result of information supplied by Frank Bell, who Friday night told a sensational story of having participated in_the slaying of Alfred (Jake) Lingle, Tribune reporter. At Bell's direction police seived a pistol concealed in a mattress in the cell of William Lenhardt of Cleveland, who is awalting execution. Howard Soske, & pal of Lenhardt, and the driver of a taxicab were arrested while waiting outside the jail in the car. william Connion, & jafl_guard, impli- cated in the plot by Bell, aiso was seized. Soske and Connion confessed their part in the plot, according to Warden David Moneypenny. Plot in Cell Bared. Bell, Moneypenny said, sent for Sergt. Frank Donahue this afterngon and in- formed him that Lenhardt had a pistol, that he had sawed the steel screen out of his cell door and that he was going to escape after slugging the guard. A posse organized after Donahue notified the warden's office found the pistol in the mattress, in which three steel bars were also concealed. A watch was then set for the cab, which brought the arrest of Phillp Marks, the driver, and Soske, his pas- senger. Soske told of having been a fellow-prisoner with Lenhardt and of visiting him_at the jali after his own telease. At Lenhardt's request, he said, he bought saws and turned them over !‘.‘o ((liotnnlon. ‘who delivered them to Len- ardt. Lenhardt, who was sentenced to death February 20 for the murder of Milton Valisopoulos in a hold-up of & restaurant June 19, 1929, later admitted the plot, Moneypenny said. Lenhardt said he had intended to drop some money on the floor in front of his cell and call his guard, James Ryan, to pick it up. He was going to slug the stoop- ing guard, he added, push out the sawed screen; free Bell with Ryan's keys, and then escape in the taxicab outside.

Nye has talked with Kelly and believes the lat- | ter's action “justified.” While Senator Nye announced after his conference with Kelley that Secre- tary Wilbur is not responsible for the condition l]le’ed by the former fleld executive, Kelley complained that Wil- bur failed to end certain “abuses” ‘which have long existed in the granting of oil shale land patents in Colorado. Kelley refused last night to define these “abuses” but he charged broadly that favors have been granted certain ntees who brought ‘pressure to at the Interior Department, “Pressure” Is Charged. Spare of hair and rather e of build,” Kelley also is spare of words in casual conversation, although he has ‘waxed prolific on K-per ‘within the past ;Iev dlglh‘. %mfin lu lwhn have read any of chnical reports on land patent matters over a long period of years profess amazement over Kelley's non-technical literary ventures of late. Secretary Wilbur is quite frank in his opinion that Kelley is merely & “tool” in the hands olzy ’penom. Kelley last night suggestion with a ¢huckle and of the head. “I don't know who the designing per- sons are, if they " 'he remarked. “I know that I am not controlled by anybody, however.” Kelley's record of service in the Gov- ernment is a good one. , His integrity as a public official has never been ques- tioned. He is regarded as one who is honest and deternmined in his tions. He has conducted his office ef- ficiently and quietly. It is understood his resignation and accompanying out- bursts created real rise among those Wwho know him in the department. For six years he has been with the Interior land office in Denver. For 20 years before that he was with the In- terior land office in Salt Lake City. Although he was connected with the office which had supervision of the Tea- pot Dome oil lands during the height of the hectic inquiry into those leases, his name never was brought into the oil hearings as a witness or otherwise. Not in Charge at Time. “I was not in charge of the office at that time,” he explained, “or I might have had something to say then.” Interior Department officials can see no parallel between the Teapot case and the Colorado oil shale controversy. It was pointed out yesterday that while the Wyoming ofl lands are rich and productive, the ofl shale lands involved in Kelley's charges are not “profitable” under existing methods of extracting oil from the ground. The lands generally are barren: The ghale contains ofl, but to obtain it in commercial quantities costs about three times as much as the ol is worth at the present price of a dollar a barrel. It is estimated it may be many years before oil can be extracted from the shfl: in commercially practical quan- titfes. ‘That Kelley has been in good stand- ing with the Interior Department until recently is evidenced by the fact that more than three-fourths of all ofl shale patents granted by Secretary Wilbur since he took office were issued on Kel- ley's recommendation. According to the Secretary, the former Denver execu- tive has been overruled but once in the half a hundred cases submitted. ‘Whether it was Wilbur's action in the one case overruled that precipitated Kelley's resignation is a matter of spec- ulation here. Kelley himself declares the conditions he complains of have been aliowed to go on over a period of years. ‘The fact that the letter of Assistant Attorney General Richardson inviting Kelly to submit his charge to the de- partment was delivered in person by special agent of the United States Bu. rzau of Investigation is sald to have contributed to Kelley's refusal to pre- sent his case formally to the Depart- ment of Justice. Object of Method. At the Department of Justioe it was stated yesterday that this method of delivery was adopted solely to insure prompt personal delivery of the missive at Kelley's room in the Ambassador Hotel, It was denied emphatically that Kelley is being shadowed by department agents. It is known that Assistant Attorney General Richardson has been in con- ference with J. Bdgar Hoover, director of the Bureau of Investigation, regard- ing the Kelley case, but Hoover himself declared the bureau so far has not been called on to make any move in the de- partment’s inquiry. The agent with Richardson's letter, 1t is understood, did not find Kelley in his room on the seventh floor of the hotel and was forced to walt most of the day for him to return. The agent finally handed the letter to Kelley with the explanation that the personal delivery method was adopted solely in the in- terests of promptness have suspscted that the agent was sent to watch him. “My room is open to every one,” Kel- Jey said last night. “Anybody can come here and see me, including the Attorney General. I have nothing to.conceal.” Kelley is a lawyer and a_bachelor. 7'thongh he 45 well known in Wash- 43802, ke has never maintained & home ] A i been distributed. Several protests were Kelley is said to | to revolver through his heart. The ax which had been weilded upon Mrs. Creecy, presumably as she lay in bed, was on the floor near the revolyer with its exploded cartridge. Police Vision of Crime. Police already have constructed an almost irrefutable version of the crime. They located & man who identified Col. Creecy’s body, saying he recognized the man who bought the revolver from him Saturday a week ago. Likewise they located a hardware clerk who remem- bered having sold Col. Creecy the ax, also on Saturday afternoon. A Marine Corps board believes that Col. Creecy, in ja fit of insanity, fell upon his wife with the hatchet and then dispatched himself with the gun. As for Mrs. Creecy, physicians say since last night's development, she has a fighting chance for recovery, ‘The Creecys were here for a two- week stdy on Col.

HAITI IN FIRST FREE ELECTION Order Defining Attitude of Garde Holds Attention in Political Circles. By the Associated Press. PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haitl, October 4. —Decision of the United States Govern- ment to adopt a “hands-off” policy in the coming Haitian elections has left Haiti faced with the first free popular elections in its history. The Haitian press in general has not made any comment on the Ameri- can attitude. One paper, however, sald it was convinced of the sincerity ¢f the United States Government, taking the position that the American attitude was ed to stop the hue and cry raised by the opposition groups for free popu- lar elections, free from outside influence or_supervision. ‘What has held particular attention in political circles is a general order de- fining the attitude of ‘the garde or Haitian police force, commanded in part by American officers, stating that the garde “will not participate in the elections in any way unless called upon by the election officials to preserve order in the vicinity of the election booths.” Never in the history of Haiti has any sort of an election been held without the supervision of the military. ‘Within the last day or two, numerous | requests have been received by the government for the physical presence of gardes at the voting booths, the declara- tion being made that a legal, orderly election will fail without them. In Port-au-Prince alone, it is understood, :0(: men have been requested for this uty. The law provides severe penalties for election trauds and already there have been a few arrests. In some circles there was concern when it became known that the indelible ink, required by law for the election booths, has not made that no adequate measures had been taken to safeguard this dye and prevent substitution MAN FOUND BADLY HURT AT SIDE OF LEE HIGHWAY An unidentified white man, about 35 years old, well dressed, was found lying on the roadside in a deserted section of the Lee Highway, one mile above the Highway Bridge, near Virginia High- lands, shortly after last midnight. ‘The man was found lying near a clump of bushes by Arthur Dawson of 503 Second street southeast, who saw the man's inert form in the headlights of his automobile.

Soske said the mother told him to help her son escape because she feared he was to be executed. He said he had smuggled the saws to Lenhardt about six weeks ago, had gotten the paste to him later, and had delivered the pistol 1o Connion at the latter's home last Tuesday, telling him it was medicine. Asked what the pistol was for, Len- hardt told the warden: “In case of emergency. I might— Oh, I didn't plan to shoot anybody. It would have 50 easy to get out of this place if somebody hadn't double- crossed me—probably Bell.” Confession of Bell. A minor stick-up man’s story that he drove the automobile used by Jake Lingle's slayers failed today to impress Chief Investigator Pat Roche, who has devoted all of his time to the case since the newspaper man was shot down Jupe 9. The confession made by Bell before the Lingle inquest jury last night named Joe Traum, Indiana gang leader, now in Leavenworth, and Richdrd Sul- livan, held in jall as co-defendant with Bell in the cafe killing, as the men he drove to the corner of Randolph and Michigan boulevard just before the Lingle killing. He also named a “blonde young man” as having gone with Traum and Sullivan into the pedestrian tunnel where Lingle was slain. Scouting Bell's story as merely an ttempt to get & light sentence for the cafe man's death, Roche said: “Why, I've got two other men in jail who have confessed that they took part in the Lingle murder. One of them swears he did the actual killing. The other fellow not only declared that he had & part in the Lingle case, but that he also handled one of the machine guns in the St. Valentine day massacre. When I asked him to describe the in- terior of the garage where the seven men were mowed down, he couldn't do it.” —_— IMPORTATION OF SIRUP TO EVADE U. S.

Royal Family to Visit Capital Next April With Suite of Fifteen. BY NELSON M. SHEPARD. Coincident with reports that King Prajadhipok of Siam, one of the few remaining absolute monarchs of the world, is preparing to visit the United States next April and be received at the White House, it was learned ves- terday that his brother-in-law, Prince Nondiyaval Svasti, incognito for nearly three years, has been a student at Georgetown' University. His real identity closely guarded from friends and fellow-students, this 21- year-old member of the royal Siamese household, thoroughly Occidental in his ways, has quietly pursued studies all this time in the School of Foreign Service in preparation for a career in the diplomatic corps of his country, As in the case of the State Department and the Siamese legation, which decline to discuss any phase of the prospective visit of the King and his Queen, officials of Georgetown University have kept silent about (he_rgr!stnce of the young royal student. e only admission they would make was that a student by that name had beer registered at the school for his third consecutive year. Royal Tamily Due Here in April. ‘While official Washington is unpre- pared at this time to divulge plans for the reception here of the King and Queen, the third reigning monarchs ever to come to this country, it was made known in authoritative circles that April 2¢ has been fixed as the tentative date of their arrival in Wash- ington. Prince Svasti, father of the Queen and her student brother, is understood to be accompanying them. ‘While King Prajadhipok, as other mem: bers of royalty have done before, is l\lf— to remain incognito on his vis! he will travel with a suite of about 15 persons. ‘Washington has entertained royalty on numerous occasions, such as the visits in recent years of Prince Gustav of Sweden and the Prince of Wales, as well as the presidents and presidents- elect of several republics, but on only two previous occasions has a ruling monarch come to this country. Those | times were on the occasions of the visits of King Albert of Belgium, after the World War, and Queen Marie of Rumania. Excited No Curiosity. Almost as little is known here of Prince Nondiyaval Svasti, who is thus called to distinguish him from his father, as is known about the ruling monarchs who have occupied the throne of the picturesque kingdom of Siam since November, 1925. Coming and going daily to his classes at the School of Foreign Service, his quiet demeanor and democratic spirit have attracted little attention among the student body and excited no curiosity. With students from some 20 foreign countries attending the school, includ- ing several from Far Eastern countries, the presence of the Siamese, known generally to his fellows as just plain Svasti, was the occasion of no special comment. Even his name meant nothing. Prince Nondiyaval is one of a number of Siamese youths who have been sent to the United States to acquire a Western education and bring back to the Eastern kingdom the American way of doing things which is becoming more and more popular and universal in Siam. While here during the past few years he has found contentment and satisfaction in relief from public at- tention which the concealment of his identity made possible. So carefully has he guarded his secret himself that his identity has been made known only to a very few friends. A pleasant, wholesome youth, not un- like many American students, Prince PRINCE NONDIYAVAL SVASTIL Nondiyaval finds recreation in the usual pastimes and although not athletically inclined, he has been frequently seen enjoying his favorite game of golf on the links of the Chevy Chase Club. He is said to take in an occasional movie” and once in a while goes out to enjoy the society of friends, but for the most part he keeps to himself. Like her younger brother, the Queen of Siam also {5 an ardent golfer. In fact, both the King and Queen are said to have acquired many occidental ways. King Prajadhipok is not quite 37 years old, having been born Novermber 8, 1893. He succeeded to the throne on the death of his brother, King Rama VI, on November 26, 1925, being the seventh monarch of the present reigning dynasty. Eyes To be Treated. His forthcoming visit to the United States is primarily for the purpose of undergoing an operation to cure a serious eye infection. While taking this treatment, it is expected that he will remain in New York City. King Prajadhipok is not unfamiliar with America. As a youth he once visited in this country, it was said, for quite a while, Siam is an absolute monarchy, but the present King is so progressive in his ways that he aided and encouraged in the reorganization of the royally- | owned newspaper, the Bangkok Daily Malil, into a typical American tabloid, with English and Siamese editions. He engaged & New York newspaper man, Andrew A. Freeman, who started, among other amazing feats of journal- ism, the typical American diversion of mvuflzfl"n, the police department. Writing of his adventures in tabloid- ing Siamese news, Mr. Freeman in a recent publication made this enlighten- ing observation on the attitude of his royal “boss”: “King Prahadhipok, un- like many of his advisers, did not call me an upstart. He did not order my wife and me to be deported as some of those who were close to him urged him to do a few weeks after we took charge of His Majesty’s newspaper in Bangkok. Afforded Great Amusement. “At first our energy afforded him great amusement. Our spokesmen at- tacks against bureaucratic stupidity were regarded as temporary outbursts of overzealous American journalists. He was puzzled for a time, as were most of his subjects, by our editorial sallies against the harping of resident Westerners on the alleged inferiority of the Siamese. But, when we demon- strated that we were sincere, that we intended to operate his newspaper fairly and that we were determined, along with doing other things, to expose the graftors who honeycombed certain departments of government, he became our most enthusiastic supporter.” St. Clair McKelway, a Washington boy and former Washington newspaper man, is now editor of the Bangkok Daily Mail. HALLAHAN TWIRLS CARDS BACK INTO SERIES CONFLICT ) (Continued From First P ban walked Dykes and Cochrane with one out and he then forced a grounder out of Al Simmons that opened the way for a double play. That was the last chance they ever looked at through this ball game that was fought nefore packed and cheering stands. The day was warm gnd sunny and the populace showed no sign of discouragement. They came to the park chanting the slogan of “three straight,” and maybe they know something. But they have Grove and Earnshaw to handle 'n the next two games and they are not Wal- berg and Shores. Today's crowd brought in much more racket and noise than the Philadelphia _gathering. When Halla- han fanned Miller with the bases full in the first inning the outburst was ter- rific. It was eviaent enough right here that the fast left-hander was on top of a big day_and that he would be a hard man to hit. He had his fast one singing through the sunlit air and his curve ball was breaking lhlrr]y across the corners. Once in & while he lost his control for a moment, but he always cooled off in a hurry and came back in time to re- tire the side. Stages Amazing Comeback. It was amazing how quickly he came back to earth and settled down after his exciting first inning, where he had to pitch his arm off. He must have needed work, for he was in little danger after that. He spent most of the after- noon putting Athletic runners on the bases and leaving them there. Bishop and Simmons were the only two to hit him_effectively, and they collected five of the seven hits. He had the others stopped mm&etely. Hallahan is the first pitcher the series who has kept Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx from planting & hoof on the home plate. He did not tie them up 100 per cent, as they got on five times through hits and passes, but they could find no one to connect with the Cardinals’ fast ball for & scoring punch. Wild Bill, who also is known as Moom Hallahan, permitted no scoring punch all day. He emptied several buckets fuls of water into the athletics’ powder {n?gllln( and there were no explosions eft. Al Simmons was the only Philadel- hian to hit for an extra base, and the est Al could do was a double. Halla- han and Walberg were running neck and neck or arm and arm in a keen duel through the first three innings. ‘Walberg Makes Mistake. ‘Walberg retired the first nine men who faced him. Up to this point he was outpitching the other southpaw. The battle looked to be an old-fashioned rltchlnl duel until the Cardinals came n for their part of the fourth. With Douthit up, Walberg abandoned his fast ball and sent over a floater. The Rube made a sad mistake. Douthit took an extra toehold on the bakedout Western clay and drove the ball across the left- field screen for a home run. That was quite enough with Hallahan rolling the Athletics back round after round. In first week of September. Jardine Sails for Egypt. NAPLES, October 4 (#).—William M. ,| however, is the public welfare involved In this case. “I am not & newspaper man, and I ‘had no idea my resignation would re- ceive the publicity it has.” Jardine, Secretary of Agriculture un- der President cgllfln. sailed with his family yesterday aboard the Esperia for Alexandria, ‘where mll become American Minister to ¥ the next inning Blades, Wilson and Gelbert singled in a row. And that, alas, another run. No chance after this with the Cardi- nal left-hander getting better and bet- ter and the Cardinal team back on its fighting and hustling, & far different club from the aggrega- tion that Earnshaw beat 6 to 1. The big crowd by this time was all steamed up, and the warm Western air was rife with cheers. After two straight defeats it was sweeter than ever to see the home club moving back into the parade. Shores relieved Walberg in the fifth, and Shores only stayed around a short while, He lasted until the seventh, when Hafey, Watkins and Wilson sin- gled and two more runs came over. At this point Connie Mack signaled for Jack Quinn, who was pitching pro- fessionally 25 years ago. Connie ap- parently knew what he was up against in the way of pitching selections, When he started Walberg he had Shores warming up before the first Cardinal came to bat. When he sent Shores in he had Quinn and Rommel warming up. He was watching the work of his warm-up pitchers with greater intentness than those facing the enemy. He had Rommel warming up for Quinn when the veteran right- hander followed Shores, and he was looking around for Mahaffey to warm up for Rommel in case the latter was needed. Bottomley Breaks Spell. ‘The Cardinals got the final run in the eighth off Quinn when Jim Bot- tomley finally broke his hitless spell with & double, and Hafey scored him with another two-base hit. It was a tough trail for Bottomley to face after appearing at bat 11 times without a hit. He brought the fans over to his side in the sixth inning, however, when Jimmy Foxx lifted a high foul near the stands, with Simmons on second. Bottomley rushed over to_the paling, pushed some one's bobbing head away from the ball with his right hand and made the catch with his glove in a backhanded fashion that started an uproar. It was the star catch of the day. ‘The Athletics couldn't hit and they had no pitching to carry them along. Hallahan was entirely too good for them and the reappearance of Jimmy Wilson back of the bat made a big difference in bringing the team back to life. Wilson was full of fire and smoke and he continued to chuck the ball around in an attempt to nip Ath- letic_runners off first and second until the Cardinals got their lcad. This was another errorless battle, the second of the series. ‘The Cardinals are now in position to furnish & lot of trouble. They have Haines, Grimes and Hallahan left, while Mack has only Grove and Earnshaw, and if either one of these is stopped he will be in a bad way to find an- other winning pitcher. The Cardinals will have their share of trouble beat- ing Grove in his second start, for he should be better than he was on open- ing day, when his fast ball wasn't as 2ippy as it usually is. Grove and Earn. shaw are two tough pitchers to hur iie but this Cardinal team looks like an. other club here at home, and today's victory will put further life and fight into Gabby Street’s team. So the show isn't over yet. The fact that Mack has only two pitchers to bank on, that Street has found & man to stop Coch- rane, Simmons and Foxx along the slugging route, may mean a hard fight to the sixth or seventh game.

HAVANA, October 4.—National po- lice tonight' announced the discovery of a plot against the lives of & number of high government officials and placed under arrest Justo Martin of Marianao, sald to be,a habitual criminal, as the chief_conspirator. A large quantity of dynamite, several machine guns and a number of small arms with much ammunition were said to have been found at Martin's home when police raided it. Confession Is Reported. Martin was reported to have con- fessed planning to use the dynamite to destroy the Regla Aqueduct, and to have been the leader of & group of Communists planning the assassination of several members of President Ma- chado’s cabinet, ‘The final step in legislation authoriz- ing President Gerardo Machado to sus- pend constitutional guarantees in the Cuban Republic was taken tonight. Publication in the official gazette of the act of Congress, ratified last night, fol- lowing upon an all-night session, au- tomatically made the bill a law, but it is understood the President has decided against placing the new weapon at his command into effect immediately. No Time Yet Set. He was reported as intending to spend the week end at Mariel, where he went fishing early today. The de- cree was taken to him shortly before noon and he signed it, but made no indication relative to the time when he would give the signal inaugurating its effectiveness, The measure stipulates that Presi- dent Machado may create a practical state of military law in Havana and suburbs, extending the condition to the whole republic at his discretion, for a g:nod of 20 days preceding the Novem- r_elections. The decree, drafted by the President when & number of outbreaks in various parts of the island indicated Cuba might be following in the revolutionary footsteps of a number of other Latin American republics, gives him full power to use any measures he may con- sider necessary in case of emergency. Nationalists Silent. ‘The Nationalists, other than issuing a manifesto signed by Col. Carlos Men- dieta, setting forth that suspension of constitutional rights “had been in ef- fect for a long time previous to its legal sanction by Congress,” were silent today following upon Congress' favor- able attitude toward the decree. It was not stated whether a demon- stration scheduled to be held in Havana October 11 would be canceled, but the probability rested in favor of aban- donment of this plan. SPREAD OF REVOLT TO NEW STATES IN BRAZIL REPORTED (Continued From First Page.) the overthrow of the state governments in Para, Parahyba, Pernambuco, Bahia in the North, of Rio de Janeiro, Minas go"?su] Sao Paulo and Rio Grande ul, Som Troops Loyal. It has generally been conceded that the government can count on the fidelity of & great part of the army and navy, especially in the city and dis- trict of Rio de Janeiro. However, leaders of the revolutionary movement look to defections in the other states mentioned, where the army is expected to side with the revolutionists to domi- nate the civil governments and piace Liberal officials in office. ‘The leaders of the movement have maintained that the entire idea back of the movement is liberal and demo- cratic, that they aim to make the gov- ernment more representative and answerable to the will of the people through various reforms, and to take away from two states, Sao Paulo and Minas Geraes, their control of national affairs which they have held through their representation in congress, so much larger than that of any other block of states. One angle of the movement is that the Communists, who have been active in propaganda for many months in the Parahyba capital, will try to make a Bolshevist coup as a third party. This. however, is considered impossible by poll observers because the Con- servatives, now backers of the present 'pvem ent, will undoubtedly join the Liberals when they are successful in order to stop Communistic success. Coup Was Expected. ‘There was considerable expectation in political circles last month that the revolutionary coup would come on in- dependence day, September 7, but everything was calm throughout the country, including the change of ad- ministration in Minas Geraes. A notice- able event pointing to the vern- ment’s worry over the state of affairs on independence day was the cancella- tion of the usual ball offered by the president at Cattete Palace, and the fact that the military review was the largest in years, nearly 15,000 troops being in line. In Rio de Janeiro that day no one had a chance to think of revolution or make any speeches for, after the mili- tary review, more than half a million g!rsons waited along the avenidas for ours to witness the automobile parade of the 26 beauty queens taking part in the international beauty contest. This kept the crowds busy all afternoon and into the evening. FRONTIER CONFIRMS NEWS Argentine Hears Brazilian Insurgents Extend Operations.

Abolition of unnecessary traffic'lights and adoption of uniform traffic signs are among & series of recommendations contatned in reports completed yester- day by three of the subcommittees of the Traffic Advisory Committee appoint= ed by the District Commissioners to study Washington's traffic ailments. These three reports, together with nine others, are to be discussed by the Executive Committee of advisory grou at a meeting tomorrow afternoon wil the cha-man, Capt. H. C.

ROME, October 4 (#).—All official de- tails of the betrothal of Princess Gio- vanna, pretty 23-year-old daughter of the King and Queen of Italy, to Boris, King of Bulgaria, were concluded and made public by the government and the Vatican today. Long negotiations over political as- gecu of the engagement preceded its nal completion. It became known to- night through a semi-official announce- ment from tican City that King Boris signed a writen promise that Giovanna, as his queen, is to retain her Catholic religion and that her children are to be brought up in the Roman Catholic faith. The signed agreement also embodied a pledge that Europe's famous “bachelor King” would remove Glovanna from every danger of loss of her religious freedom. Proviso for First Born. ‘The proviso was made, however, that because Bulgarian constitutional law requires that the heir to the throne be of the state religion, which is Greek Orthodox, the first born boy is to be reared in Orthodoxy, but any other chil- dren of the union will be Catholics. Thus the international troth is made acceptable, it is stated on good au- thority to the strong national feelings of the Bugarians. Boris himself was & Roman Catholic, but was obliged to become Orthodox when he ascended the throne 12 years ago. The arrangement in reference to an heir was explained here with tre as- pital.” Police charged him with intoxi- cation. Exact details of how the accident oc- curred could not be learned at & late hour last night. sertion that the Orthodox faith and the Roman Catholic religion are not much different fundamentally. The marriage will be performed in a Catholic church at Sofia and then in the Orthodox cathedral, either before November 15 or in the first days of January. Pope Takes Active Part. ‘The Vatican City semi-official state- ment sald the Pope himself gave per- mission for the union under a canon of 1557 applicable to rulers of states or their possible heirs or successors. All negotiations were carried to the Pope personally. Boris is known to be on excellent terms with the apostolic visi- tor at Sofla, Mgr. Roncalll, who has been & frequent caller at the royal palace. Premier Mussolini's telegram of felici- tations to King Victor Emanuel was one of many which began to pour in from all over the world today. The King telegraphed an official announcement to Giovanni Giuriati, president of the Chamber of Deputies, recently named to succeed Augusto Turati as secretary- general of the Fascist party, and to Luigi Federzoni, president of the Senate. It was made known that King Borls would come to Rome in a few weeks for & formal bethrothal ceremony. Boris is 36 years old. He is a hand- some man of commanding figure and his bride-to-be, 23 years old, is the al- most constant companion of her mother and is said to understand well the Slavonic temperament. Queen Helena was the Princess Petrovitch Niegoch of Montenegro, and was born at Cettinje December 27, 1872. It is supposed that Giovanna would be a highly acceptable Queen of the Bulgarians.

AUSTIN, Tex, October 4 (#).—Com- munications sounding out Governors of principal cotton-producing States on a South-wide cotton acreage reduction The report on the traffic lights, it was said, recommends the climination of certain signals, particularly those at so-called isolated intersections, which serve to create congestion rather thes expedite it. There are a number of such lights in the District which the committee is said to regard as un- necessary. The same subcommittee also has in- cluded in its report a recommendation for adoption of uniform signs and traffic markers in lieu of the Present hap- hazard system of tying signs to trees and lamp posts. Standards are su| gested for such signs. ‘The Parking Committee urges a re- arrangement of the gar-stup loadlnfi platforms and a prohibition against al parking within 30 feet of the approach side of the platforms. In some in- stances now, it explains, vehicles are permitted to park up to a point within a few feet of the loading platforms, thus creating a serious traffic bottle neck near street intersections. This committee also makes a number of other recommendations, one of which is said to provide a more liberal policy with respect to the reservation of space in the business section for shipping en- trances. Standard Turn Favored. The committee which * studied the left-turn regulation urges abolition of the present rotary turn and the sub- stitution of the standard turn prescribed by the Hoover Highway Conference and which has been generally adopted throughout the United States. M. O. Eldridge, assistant director of traffic, who is a member of this committee, re- fused to sign the report, however, and submitted to Capt. Whitehurst a mi- nority report, setting forth his reasons for favoring retention of the present method of making left turns. Aside from the recommendations of the subcommittees, the execufive com- mittee also is planning to prepare & report urging creation of a special com- mittee of District officials to survey traffic conditions and determine how the proposals of the advisory commit- tee can best be carried out, Such & committee probably would be composed of a highway engineer, an engineer of the Public Utilities Commission, & rep= resentative of the Traffic Department 1and a representative of the Police De~ partment. The recommendations of the vari- ous_subcommittees, it was pointed out, probably will be general in scope, and only through a survey, can conditions be found that should be remedied. This would be true, it was explained, particularly in the case of traffic lights recommended for abolition, and car stop zones suggest>d for relocation. Students of traffic who have followed the activities of the subcommittees throughout the Summer, believe that their recommendations will constitute one of the greatest forward steps for improvement of traffic conditions in Washington since the creation of the trafic department. Adoption by the Commissioners of the recommendations of their traffic advisors, it was said, will bring Washington's traffic regulations into closer conformity with the stand- ard code of the Hoover highway con- ference, modified of course, to meet pe- culiar local conditions.
