An ambulance brought Stratford here last night from Nil.s where “he” had lived with *“Mrs. Strat. ford” for the last 2 years. Strat- *|ford had been employed as a book- keeper by a nursery there he told hospital attendants, “He” had been junable to worl" for nearly a month. When stewards were removing the patient from the ambulance they heard *“him” murmur: “Don’t put me in the men’s ward —I'm a woman.” P Physicians found this was true. Before dying, the patient told how “he and his wife” had worked as a theatrical team in Hollywood. They came to Niles where they liv- ed for two years. Heavy work as a freight mover in the government supply depot at Washington during the war broke down “his” health and “Mrs, Stratford” came! west with her “husband” to nurse *“him,” the patient said.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES SPOIL WEDDING 0UTLOOK Little Prospect That Princess Gio- | vanua Will Find Husband Among Desired Royaity of Euarope. Rome, May 3 UM—Now that all| likelihood of & wedding between | King Boris of Bulgaria and Princess | Giovanna, 21.ycar-old daughter of the king and queen of Italy, seems to be gone, owing to religious dif- ferences, Roman society gossip is | centered on trying to discover who | is the most probable candidate for the royal young lady's hand. Young Prince Nicholas of Ru- mania, for a number of reasons, may well be considered out of the run- | ning. The second son of the king and | queen of the Belgians, Prince Charles, Count of Flanders, men- | tioned at one time as a possible aspirant, is heard leas and less of now in the salons of the capital. For religious reasons any union with one of the younger sons of the British royal family, the Duke of Gloucester or Prince George, is out of the ques- tion. There remain, fin the ranks of European royalty, only a few mem- bers of families that formerly ruled over the various small German states | and principalities; but inasmuch as only a scant portion of the surviving eligibles profess the Catholic faith, a marriage with the daughter of the Italian sovereign is highly improb- | able. Moreover there is already one German son-in-law in Italian royal family, Prince Philip of Hesse, who | espoused Giovanna's elder sister, Mafalda, in 1925, It would seem then that Giovan- Measure the extra 400 FISHERHEN SAVED | Goyo Maru Grounds OF Kamchatki | FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1929 na's choice, it indeed a princess of | compelled cessation of their ef(orll.l the blood may be said to have one |Throughout the wild night it stood | in determining her future mate, by and today took off the remain-| might fall upon some scion of the der of the vessel, 20 fishermen and | Italian nobility, or even upon a!38 of the cre; “commeoner.” Much has been made | of the fact that she happencd to be s a total engaging in winter sports at Roc- loss.

Twelve others were acquitted. Pedro Tolosa, the leader, was sen- tenced to six months imprisonment and fined 500 pesos ($250), The other six were fined 200 pesos each and sentencel to three months im- prisonment. Government officials said the plot- ters had mset prices for ‘‘commis- sions” in the projected revolution- ary army and that the principal ob- ject was to swindle rather than to fight.
