WOTOR PILGRINAGE REGEIVED B POPE All Autos Washed and Shined for Papal Inspection Vatican City, May 1 U — Pope Pius XI today received a great num- ber of pilgrim motorists in the Court of Saint Damaso, made them a brief speech, bestowed his blessing upon them and watched them pass their cars in review before him. Most of the members of the “motor pil- grimage” were from his former dio- cese in Milan, belonging to the au- tomobile club of that city. ‘Those participating in the hom- age to the pontiff gathered in the Via Belle Fondamenta, behind the Basilica of St. Peter adjoining the Vatican. The Milan Auto Club's inspectors saw to it that every car to take part in the procession had been thorough- ly washed and shined. The policing of the vast throng of machines and their drivers was done by Vatican attendants, all wearing the brassard of yellow and white, the papl colors, with the pope’s coat of arms in the center. ' The visitors were warned not to sound their horns too strenuously, and not to open their cutouts. At a given signal the usual pro- eession made its way into the inner courtyard and there in dead silence awaited the pope's arrival. He mounted on a specially prepared throne facing the assemblage, hav- ing before him a new automobile recently presented to him. Once he had pronounced the apostolic ben diction, the motorists passed their cars in review before him, saluting in the Roman fashion with the hand free from the wheel.

The royal family was said newspaper to have been living at the village in utmost secrecy and that their identity was ot disco until villagers had heard who acted as tutors to the children, address Otto as “'King Otto.” Flim-Flam Game Fai On Man Once Swindled Stamford, May 1 (P—Fred Iields was once victimized in a swindle, ng $300, but yesterday when ed out as intended victim of a flimflam game he sensed the crook- edness of a deal and had two men arrested. The attempted ‘“game” failed as one of the pair he was #topped by, pointed to his confeder- ate who stopped to pick up a pocket- book on the street which he said had presumably fallen out of an auto- mobile. When they offered the poc etbook to him in exchange for an amount of money, Fields walked away in the direction of the police station and within a short time the pair were arrested. They gave their names as John Haskins, 30, South Norw . and John McClaneg, 19, of Stamford, when placed on a techni- rrier pigeon, cvidently e hausted from a long flight perched upon the chimney of the home of Francis C. Kelly of 28 Brady avenue and dropped through onto the fire- 1. The bird was of a gra ish-white hue and carried an alumi- num band on its right leg with the inscription AU-28-HCC-384.
