News of the World By Associated Press *ESTABLISHED 1870 CHERISH IDEA OF ASCENDING THRONE ‘Rumanian Heir Who Renounced Crown Is Being Closely Shadowed in Paris FERDINAND'S WILL READ; SORROW OF LIFE IS TOLD Leaves $400,000 and Prayers of His Heart For His Erring Son—Body of Dead Monarch, Resting in Sim- ple Golden Oak Casket, Rests In Hall of Cotroceni Palace In Bucharest. Paris, July 22 (®—Richer by his father's bequest of $400,000 former Crown Prince Carol of Rumania now appears to cherish the idea of mounting the throne he repeatedly renounced, judging by statements to the press, in which he refers to himself as “King Carol of Rumania.” Meanwhile his application for per- mission to return to Bucharest to attend the funeral of Ferdinand has not been answered, he said, and Ru- manian citcles here express the be- liet that this or other communica- tions he may send will receive no answers while Premier Pratiano is| in power. These circles say also that the prospects of there being a King Carql II, for the present at least, are extremely remote. Now Like a Prisoner Carol now is something like a prisoner. His villa at Neuilly is guarded by detectives and besieged by squads of newspapermen who cobserve his every movement from the streets or points of vantage of neighboring buildings. Even the shadows on the shades are being carefully noted, and all sorts of in- \ferences drawn from them as to political conferences going on with- in. His servants say he is weighed down by sorrow and is “just letting himself live.” One of his Intimate friends is quoted as having said that he is certain to attend the two memorial servites to be held in Paris Sunday —one for officials in the Rumanian church at 11 o'clock in the morn- ing, and the other, for the Ruman. {an colony, at 3 o'clock in the after- noon. . Is Willed $400,000 Bucharest, July 22 (®—Under the will of King Ferdinand, which was made public late last night, former Crown Prince Carol is cut off from .inheriting any real estate, but falls heir to about $400,000 in cash and stocks. The remainder of the king's estate, totalling about $1,500,000 and including palaces, city dwellings and country houses, is apportioned equally among the other children.

Writing as though he had a pre- .sentiment of death, the monarch spoke of his love for his country, of Carol and him by the renunciation of the throne by his first-born son, and of | | nearby, was the first to arrive and ' ‘the passing of the crown to the head of the boy Michael.

As a Rumanian and king, I have sacrificed my life on this earth, but my love of country do not permit me to consider my duty ends with this life, and I cannot but think of what follows it. “God willed that the crown with which the fortunes of the country are indissolubly bound up, should pass to the head of the minor M hai (Michael).

Flynn. Jack went around in “about 100 strokes.” Out of consideration for Dempsey's strenuous evening and the fact that Leo was right at the top of his own proficlent game, no accurate score was kept. After the game, Dempsey went to his hotel to prepare for an immedi- ate trip to Los Angeles. Jack plans a three weeks' vacation before en- tering training again for the cham- plonship fight with Gene Tunney in September. Dempsey and his man- ager believe the match will be stag- ed in Chicago about September 15. Dempsey was just a bit indignant today at claims of Sharkey and numerous sport writers that the right hand smash to the Boston boy's body in the seventh round was foul. “I never struck a fairer blow in my life,”” Dempsey said. “I could feel my right bury into Sharkey's body just under his ribs and I knew he was gone. He just slumped and a left hook to the jaw finished him.” (Continued on Page 10) EXCITED. DROPS DEAD Allentown, Pa.

In the office of Warden Wllllam Hendry, who was present during the interviews, the governor first talked for 15 minutes with Madeiros and then for the same length of time with Sacco. Then Vanzetti was call- ed in, P Vanzetti Has Notes Vanzetti as he entered the office had in his hands two or three sheets of paper, apparently covered with notes. It was evident that he had more to say to the governor than the other two prisoners.
