Peasants and townsfolk from outlying places continued to arrive in the capital today by all sorts of conveyances, and before Ferdinand’'s body is laid to rest Sunday in the royal mausoleum at Curtea De Arges, many more thou- sands will have gazed upon the features of the monarch. In Cavalry Uniform The king is dressed in the cav- alry uniform of which he was so fond. In his right hand is a silver crucifix, while at his feet rests a silver crown, the imperial sceptre and a field marshal's baton. At the head of the bier yesterday stood the favorite priest of the king, in- toning prayers. White robed Sisters of Charity, who nursed the king through his last days, were at the foot. Showed Suffering A decided change in Ferdinand's features was noticed by the Asso- ated Press correspondent, who had met and conversed with him on numerous occasions in the past. The thin face showed clearly that tae monarch hud suffered, and his beard and hair, tinged with gray when the correspondent last saw him, were almost white. Queen Marie, receiving the cor- respondent, in an adjoining room, where she remained virtually alone with her sorrow, sai Too Late Now “It was the king's ardent wish to visit America before he died, but now it is too late, There were tears in the queen's eyes when she referred to Ferdi- nand as "a great king, a good man and the kind of husbands.” Her voice quivered when she said: “His simplicity, humility and greatness of heart endeared him to everybody. His whole life was one sacrifice.” As the correspondent was prepar- ing to leave the palace, the infant King Michael was brought in by Princess Helen, his mother. The voungster seemed unable in his childish innocence to realize his grandfather, who only lately had presented him with an American teddy bear and toys, was dead, and that, although less than six yeais old, he had inherited his mantle and would wear the golden crown of Greater Rumania and control the destinies of 15,000,000 persons. Don’t Cry, Child Says “Don’t cry, Grandfather will come hack to u said the child in per- fect English to his mother. The most pathetic figure in the room was Princess Helen, who aft- er suffering from the ignominy of desertion by her husband, Carol, now is called upon to hear the loss of her father-in-law, to whom she was deeply attached. Ferdinand, whose generosity and sympathy were proverbial, had sum- ported Princess Helen and her child ever since Carol eloped with Mme. Lupescu. Stir Subsides Today Paris, July 23 (®—The stir creat- ed in European courts by the words “King Carol of Rumanla” in a state- ment to the newspapers, which was taken to indicate that the banished prince considered himself the suc- cessor of King Ferdinand, had sub- sided today. The alarm appears to have been premature, one newspaper declaring that an inquiry showed the titlo was added to the statement by an over- zealous friend, who gave it to the newspapers.. As originally issued the statement contained nothing which could possibly be construed as a claim to the throne, this paper said Carol 1s quoted by the Matin as having said to its foreign editor in a brief interview, that he had no in- tentlon under the present circum- stances “to make any manifestation which might disturb the composure which should mark the royal ob- sequi Having failed to get a direct re- ply to a telegraphed request for permission to attend the funeral of his father, Carol has sent a message to his sister, Queen Marle of Jugo- slavia, to place flowers on the cof- fin for him. “I am crushed by grief over the news of the irreparable loss that has come to all of us, especially to my- (Continued on Page Three) NEW BRITAIN HERALD When Called Before Judge, Rushville, Neb, July 23 (®—A sentence of thirty years at hard la- bor was pronounced upon Mrs. Roy Wilson, 31, a farmer's wife, when she stood before a judge last night and asked that she be sent to the electric chair for the murder of her aged mother.

J, July 23 P— Thomas Holton, aged two and a half years, is dead today, the victim of an attack by a huge timber wolf which escaped from his father's private zoo. The animal, born in captivity and considered tame, escaped while Oliv- er W. Holton, the boy's father, and several keepers were repalring a fence of the zoo, which occupies nearly 200 acres of the heavily wooded 230 acre Holton estate, Through an open gate the wolf went, making her way a quarter of a mile to the Holton home, where Thomas was playing in the yard with Henry Mazza, three and a half year old son of Mrs. Anna Mazza, the hotel maid. Mrs. Mazza heard the children scream and Henry ran to her cry- ing that a big dog was biting his playmate. The maid ran into the yard, saw the wolf seize Thomas and toss him into the air. She kicked the animal, which turned as if to attack her. When she kicked again it drew back and she picked up the boy, carried him into the house and 4050 the door. A big police dog forced the door open and as it sprang out the wolf entcred, seized the boy again and dragged him to the yard. Mrs. Maz- za stunned the wolf with the butt of a rifile, picked up the boy and iran back Into the house. Her screams meanwhile had attracted Holton, who found the wolf near the house and shot it. The boy died at a hospital several hours latel MILLION DOLLAR LOSS IN FLOOD DISTRICTS Harrisburg ~ Section State is Swept by Rains and Clowdbursts Harrisburg, Pa., July 23 (A—One of the worst floods in the history of this section of Pennsylvania swept practically all of Perry county and the upper sections of Dauphin coun- |ty as a result of a cloudhurst early today.

'OLD INDIAN FIGHTER MADE SHERIFF AT 86 “Devil” Original Character in John Fox Novel | Pound, Va, July 23 (A—"Devil” John Wright, Indian fighter, veteran of the war between the states and a former department of justice agent, of John Fox's novel of the Cumber- lands, “On the Trail of the Lone- some Pine,” has been made a depu- of eighty-six. The old fighter s still active, most of his time being spent in roaming the Cumberland foothills on horseback. Life in the open, he says, is the reason for his “staying young.” ‘Wright first fought Indians in the west, served through the war of other sixties, as a courier and did federal detective work in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. The steady alm which enabled him to have his life at the expense of a number of outlaws he trailed, still can mark up bulls eyes on prac- tically every shot. Although he has killed a number of men, he has never been convicted of a crime. Before writing the “Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” John Fox, Jr., spent much time with Wright to gather material for the romance. The ficticlous chatacter “Devil Judd Tolliver,” then took form. ‘Wright served several years as & magistrate, then as a sheriff in east. ern Kentucky during the early feud- al period. As a federal detective just after the wan between the states, he ran down many horse thieves. In almost every case he was forcad into gun battles and bears the scars of many bullets. “A man who insisted upon enforc- ing the law in those days had to be quick on the ‘draw and a sure shot or he wouldn't last long.” the vetcran said. He added that he hoped to live to be a hundred years old.

New York, July 23 (#—The New York Daily News today in a copy- right dispatch from Grande Anse, Que., says a quarrel between the Stillman and Wilson families result- ed in “Bud” Stillman “kidnapping"” Lena Wilson, his 18-year-old Norlhl ‘Woods sweetheart, and taking her to his mother’s camp for their mar- riage next Tuesday. Prior to the kidnapping, says the Daily News, Bud had announced his intention to plunge into the woods and stay there for months, while his bride-to-be tearfully insisted she would go to Montreal to become a manicurist. Cause of Quarrel The quarrel is reported due to re- ligious and social barriers raised by the Wilson family, farmers, and the matter was only settled when “Bud" literally kidnapped the hysterical Lena and carried her in a battered car over thirty miles of forest trails to his mother’s camp. First, says the Daily News, “Bud” signed a document agreeing that the marrfage will be Catholic ritual and that any children of the union will be reared in the Catholic faith. In return, he received from Ler mother her written consent which is necessary under Quebec laws for the marriage of a minor daughter. Wilsons Not Going But none of the Wilson family, says the dispatch, will be permitted to attend the wedding and a gown brought from New York for one of Lena's six sisters to wear as brides- maid now awalits a wearer of some-! what similar size. Mrs. James A. Stillman, wife of the banker, is reported to have or- dered the Wilsons from the house at Latuque which she presented to her son when his engagement was an- nounced and also has advised store- keepers in Montreal, Latuque and | Grand Mere that the Wilsons are to | receive no more credit in her name. “They are primitive people,” Mrs. | Stillman is quoted as saying, “and | | the only things they understand are | primitive actions. Very well, T'll see ithat they get them.” Signs of Trouble First information that the Wilson family did not look kindly upon the approaching marriage of their daughter came to Mrs. Stillman, she said, when she arrived at the camp last week to find the WilsSu nome | deserted and a rumor throughout the region that Lena had jilted an you doubt that I was fran- " sald Mrs. Stillman. “My camp was not ready. Twelve New York servants have had to sleep on floors. We didn't know whether the wed- ding was to take place or not.” “Don’t think,” she said, “that I have a grudge against Lena's fam- {ily. I haven't, but I have keen in- i terest in ‘Bud’s’ happiness.

CADMAN DEFENDS PRESENT GENERATION Tells Londoners They Are No Worse Than Those of | Victorian Age London, July 23 (UP) — Dr. §.| Parkes Cadman, Brooklyn nan visiting in London, attained | considerable vogue here with the some sort of “question and answer | clinic” he presides over in the Unit- | ed States. Dr. Cadman conducted a series of religious conferences at St. Martins- in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square, at the foot of the Strand, and he In- vited all kinds of queries from his auditors. Londoners were not slow spond to the invitation, although | many of the questions obviously designed more as tests for the min- ister than to obtain information. One man wanted Dr. Cadman’s opinion on cremation. “Please reply frankly. to be cremated,” he said. Another asked: “Is Rotarianism a more practical way of spreading good will than the services of the Christian church?” Dr. Cadman discoursed at various | times on spiritualism and the Chr tian church, Christian science, Sun- | day rest, prohibition, the Darwinian theory and world pelitics. One poser put to him was whether the high wages and ‘“superabund- ance of money” is a blessing or a curse to the Christian people of the { United States. There were also pointed political puzzlers, such as: “If America believes in world peace, why does it stand aloof from the League of Nations?" “If America is friendly to Great Britain and other allies, why does it not cancel war debts?" In an interview Dr. Cadman dis- cussed the following question which had been put to him: “I was brought up in the traditions of English Pur- itanism. When I talk to my young people on matters of sex, marriage and divorce they tell me I am an old fogy or an carly Victorfan. Why is clergy- | to re- 1 intend In reply, the clergyman recalled that the common theory is that young ben and girls of today are worse than the younk folk of the Victorian age.

Vanzetti entered the warden's office with a sheaf of papers in hand and apparently confident. When he emerged nearly an hour later he was plainly depressed. The man had been upright and well poised as he quit his cell block but his shoulders stooped and his feet shuffled as he was led out after the conference, The governor first saw Madeiros to whom he has given several re- spites pending his investigation of the Sacco-Vanzetti case. Fifteen minutes later it was Sacco's turn and then after a slightly longer lapse of time Vanzetti ‘came in.
