It has just been revealed that the recent postponement of the evening of the Rumanian Parliament was the result of a quarrel between King Carol and his brother, Prince Nicholas, in the course of which His Majesty blocked a right hook aimed at him by Nick, but he blocked it with his eye. The royal fracas was the result of King Carol's high-handed methods in declaring the marriage of Prince Nicholas to Lucia Deletj null and void. Nick eloped with the young woman, who is a commoner and a divorcee, and compelled the mayor of a provincial town to perform the marriage ceremony. So incensed was Carol when he heard the news that he ordered all the records destroyed. • On Nicholas's return to Bucharest after his honeymoon. King Carol upbraided him for marrying a commoner, forgetting his own amours with commoners Mesdames Lambrino and Lupescu. * Words finally came to blows and when order was restored it was found that Carol’s majestic eye was in deep mourning. Our artist, to whom a shiner is no novelty, having worn such an adornment on divers occasions, illustrates above how the royal visage appears with the plebeian color scheme. Bucharest, —A black eye, or. as you thinking about to run off and

it is commoTily called in puglistic circles, a ‘ shiner'' is an embarrassing adornment to the human countenance when worn by a plebeian, such as a clam digger or a boot-1 logger, but when it appears on the physiognomy of a king print is too | cold and unemotional to describe ' the effect. Recently the official opening of | the Rumanian Parliament was mys-' teriously postponed by a royal pro-, clamation of King Carol. Socratic I statesmen, ministers and bell-hops I made wild guesses as to the reason for such an unprecedented action on the part of dlis Majesty. They decided that it must be a matter of grave concern, involving the destinies of the country, to merit such drastic action. But the most important annual event in Rumania was bandoned for the simple reason that the ruler of the count.y had a "shiner” History may be dotted with kings wh > suffered wounds when they broke a lance in the sacred cause of chivalry, but to Kin; Carn belongs the distinction of being the first motmrch to acquire a black eye in a vulgir exchange of fisticuffs. His Majesty collected the discolored optic in an encounter witli his royal ‘brother, Prince Nichols, over the latter’s recent marriage to Mme Lucia Del?tj a c mtmoner and divorcee. 'lt will be recalled that Nick eloped with the beauteous Lucia to a provincial town, where he bullied the mayor into performing the marriage csretn tty. When Ch: .4 heard that his bro the' had thrown himself away upon a woman whose blood was not of the royal shade he was greatly annoyed. So annoyed, in fact that hr: , ordered all r. cords cf the marriage destroyed and pronounced the ceremony nuil and void. When Prince Nicholas returned to Bucharest front his honeymoon, it was to face the wrath o; his kingly hr .th r. One does not have to be the possessor of an elastic imagination to picture the scene in the royal palace. In effect, it probably went as fol-1 lows: ‘"So you're back, huh?" was the i opening gun from King Carol. Nicholas doesn't think any comnt nt necessary, so he just nods. His royal brother goes on: ‘"What in heaven's name were Bulk and Bar HOME MADE CANDY The Best You Can, Buy. GREEN KETTLE — t

tnar.y that common woman, having the family talked about?" “Now listen. Carol, she's not a common woman and the family ought to be proud to have her as an addition to it," snaps Prince Nick. “It’s not that, it's the principle of the thing," says Carol, "I told you that you were to forget any thought you had of marrying that woman. Do my royal commands njean anything to you? 1 never heard of such a thing, prince galloping off with a commoner." “‘Commoner!" yells Nick. “You should be the last person in the world to try to give me an object lesson. What about your own amours with commoners, as. you call them? How about Madame Lambrino and the ruddy-haired Madame faipescu! You fell for that pair, didn't you. crown, throne and all? Besides I don't want anything f ont you or the state. Lucia and q will go aboard, I can support her." “That's enough" Carrol breaks, in “You forget you are speaking to your king. . “You may be the king to the rest of the world." inte. nipts Nick, ‘"hut you’re just a busy-body to me." "Just tor that,' says Carol, “I'll run your lovely Lucia out of the country.” I his was too much for Nick so he deftly applied a right hook to the loyal jaw of his brother. Carol attempted to etic iiintit , lull Nijck t :ssed over another haymaker and His Majesty fell—more rapidly than he fell for eitli r the Mesdnie-e Lambrlno o • Lupescu. At this point the gentlemen of the royal househould in ter veined and ejected Prince Nick. But the damage was done. The majestic optic of Carol went into deep mourning with the far-reaching effect of stponing the opening of the national Parliament. Now the battling prince is under ar. est in his quarters, but he still insists o ndefying the royal decree that he renounce his bride and all Rumania is waiting agog for the next round. o—. , Boulder Dam Workers Must Wear “Tin Hats” Las Vegas, Nev., D<*‘. 2. —(U.R)— Ware equipment is in vogue at Boulder City, near where workmen are constructing Boulder Dam.

MOONEY’S FATE TO BE STUDIED (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) which Mooney was convicted. Waler, Aaron Sapiro and Frank P. Walsh, attorneys for Mooney, all held that perjured testimony led to Mooney being found guilty and all placed responsibility “for correcting this wrong" directly <wi the governor. The mayor said today he was satisfied with the hearing. The mayor is scheduled to see the governor late today to bid him goodbye. The mayor’s- plans for returning to New York are indefinite. Because of the cold he has suffered the past few days he said he might go to Santa Barbara or Palm Springs before his return. As a result of the asserted communistic demonstration during the hearing yesterday 21 men and four women were scheduled to appear in court on charges ranging from assault to disturbing the peace and inciting a riot. Fifteen were arrested when they attempted to get into the hearing and four were arrested when they attempted to free the 15. Finally six others were taken when mounted police were forced to ride into the crowd to stop disorder. About 400 took part in the demonstration, police said. Speakers for the demonstrators, openly hostile to Walker and Rolph, said they regarded Mayor Walker as an interloper and accused him of attempting “to steal Mooney from the workers." Three policemen received minor injuries when they rode into the crowd to • disperse the demonstrators. At the hearing Walker offered a letter from Charles M. Fickert, district attorney at the time Mooney was found guilty. This letter said "you probably are right in maintaining that it would be to the best interest of the state that executive clemency be granted to Mooney.” Fickert, who has maintained that Mooney had a fair and impartial trial and was rightfully convicted, said today his letter did not have any reference “to the guilt or innocense of Mooney." A second letter introduced ly Mayor Walker was purported to be from Mooney, and said that he wanted a complete and full pardon and that under no circumstances would he accept or apply for a parole. Warden James Holohan of San Quentin, where Mooney has been held said this morning that no letter went out of the prison from Mooney. He stated, hojvevor, that Mooney had authorized the writing of the letter. Walker's major point was that Frank Oxman and John McDonald, witnesses who had placed Mooney at the scene of the bombing, had been shown to be perjurors. He said McDonald had admitted that his evidence was false "while the distinguished governor of your state (former Governor C. C. Young) wrote officially and indelibly into the record of California that the testimony of Oxman was unworthy.” “Without Oxman and McDonald there could have been no conviction of Mooney,” Walker said, ‘and they have been shown to be liars.” The 'mayor told how the 10 living men who were on the convicting jury thought Mooney should be pardoned and how the PILES srV-i Don’t suffer another minute from blind, itching, protruding or bleeding piles without testing the newest and fastest acting treatment out.

Santa Claus has flow completed the last desperate flying leap, perhaps the most dangerous of the entire trip to Decatur. From the snow deserts of the North, from No Man’s Land, to the heart of Alaska, to Fairbanks, from where Santa Claus took a train to rest his starving, tired dogs, the eight huskies have brought Santa, safely, with only minor mishaps occuring along the way. The long journey has been over rocky cliffs where the miss-step of

Half the courtroom was in tears h as the mayor finished and 84-year-’ ’ old Mrs. Mary Mooney, mother of ■ the convict, came forward, wiping I 1 her eyes, to thank the mayor.. “It will come true now, after ■ 1 all these years; 1 know it will,". 1 she said. ; 1 Walsh preceded the mayor and ’ outlined the history of the Mooney |‘ case, pointing out that Mooney 1 had appealed unsuccessfully to 1 the three governors before Rolph. - 1 Sapiro spbke last and said: “If Mooney stays in San Quen-. 1 tin prison one day longer, it will' be because California -deliberately 1 keeps in prison a man who had no right to be there even one day. 1 1 This is the last time anyone will | appear with a request for a pardon for Mooney.

Liabilities of the Wabash exceed- ; ed book values of its assets by $6.-,, (160,006 and gross earnings for the ten months ending October 31 were $11,200,000 under a similar period last year, the complaint , said. The complaint says $4,730,476 of the railroad’s liabilities were for material and supplies. One of the principal factors in the reduced earnings of the Wabash, it was said, was the affect which the business depression has! had on the automobile industry. The Wabash, running into Da-1

Itroit, depended a great deal on auto shipments for revenue. Since I the 1929 stock market crash reduced shipments of cars has cut WaI bash revenue. I Truck competition and the policy of transporting cars to markets milder their own power resulted in reduced income for the Wabash. [ The Tie Company's petition pointed out the danger of operating the railroad in several units and told the court that “it is essentially to the interests of the defendant and | the public that the property should not be sacrificed." Continued operation of the sysitem as a whole is the only means whereby the railroad can pay its debts, the petition said. i The Wabash Railway Company was incorporated under the laws of Indiana, October 22, 1915, as successor to the Wabash Railroad 'Company which was sold under 'foreclosure July 21, 1915. Earnings of the Wabash have been reduced considerably since the depression. Gross revenues of the company in 1929 totaled $76,OOO.ODO and dropped to $62,000,000 in 1930, wiping out the margin of profit. For the first six months of i this year there was’ a reported deficit of $1.7X9,000. The Pennroad Company, a subsidiary of the Pennsylvania railroad owns 48 per cent capital stock. Last year the company was ordered to divest itself of the stock by | the Interstate Commerce CommisI sion. The order was appealed to I the federal court. o Reformed VV.M.S. & G.M.G. i Cafeteria Supper. Sat. 5-7 pm 284t3

Never Read The Advertisements” AOU know this person. He thinks he is telling the truth. But quiz him and he will recite the-make of his motor-car, his hat. his shirt, his suit, his shoes, his tooth-paste, his towels, ad infinitum ... with the accent on the ‘‘ad. Jn other words, they are all advertised products. Why, he cou’.d no more escape the presence and the power of the printed word than he could evade eating or sleeping. The advertisements are a definite part of contemporary American life. Their messages are vital to daily existence. They have a definite association with the pocketbook, than which there is nothing more intimate and personal. The important thing is not merely to “read the advertisements,” but to read all of them. The one advertisement you “didn’t see” may contain information you would have given a great deal to possess. Certainly, it is as important to you to know that Smiths are having a sale of sheets or shirts, as to read that Congress will hold a special session! “Friend, guide and counselor”—the advertisements in this paper.

Figures Show Less Wheat Marketed in 1931 Harrisburg Pa., —(UP)—Pennsylvania farmers marketed only 15 per cent as much wheat up to Sept. 19 as they did during a corresponding period last year, according to the State Bureau of Markets. The figures are taken from records of carlot shipments of wheat from Pensylvania shipping points at the Baltimore terminal. Only 64 carloads were received by Sept. 15, as compared with 420 during the same period last year. Market officials believe most farmers have stored their entire crop and probably will feed an unusually large proportion of their grain be- ) fore the next harvest. Throat Sore?
