QUEEN MARIE MAKES FIRST VISIT TO INDIANA

FEWSUGGESTIONS AWAIT CONGRESS FROMJRESIDENT Tax Credit Plan Will Be Chief Feature of Annual Message. By United Press ' WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—With only three weeks before Congress assembles, President Coolldge today began a draft of his annual message to that body. Prom all indications, the President’s annual report will be comparatively brief, containing very few new recommendations or suggestions for legislation. The Administration’s tax credit plan, announced ten days ago by the White House, will be the highlight of the message. He will recommend that $250,000,000 surplus be returned to taxpayers as ,a credit on taxes due next March, on incomes of this year. Democratic demands for downward revision on all income rates will be answered. The President is expected to warn against any permanent reduction in the income rates because the Treasury is yet unaware of the amount of revenue the existing law will yield. The President also is expected to touch on Muscle Shoals, the Merchant Marine, Economy and prosperity. Any reference to foreign affairs will be based on his Armistice day speech in Kansas City in which he served notice that the United Suites would not enter the World Court un less United States Senate Reservations were accepted by all members of the tribunal PROPOSE FEDERAL ACTMHERRIN Law Abiding Citizens Course Only One Left. By United Press HERRIN, 111., Nov. 1/5. —Law-abid-ing citizens of southern Illinois today were of the opinion that Federal intervention is the only remaining weapon that will put a stop to the bloody gang warfare which is daily taking a toll of life and property of this section. The Federal angle followed receipt of news that Governor I.#en Small has refused a request of Mayor Marshall McCormack of this city, which asked that a military court be established. The letter written several days ago by the mayor, but not made publio until Sunday, stated that it is “impossible for civil authorities to ccpe with the situation.” The body of Claude Craig was found just north of the local citv limits early Sunday. Near a roadhouse operated by a man known only as "Big Swede.” It was riddled with buckshot and marked near the heart with several revolver bullets. However, police were of the opinion that neither the Birger or Shelton gangs, the two warring factions, were responsible for this murder, as Craig was allied with neither as far as is known. POLO PLAY IS STARTED Business Mem Bow to Fort Team by Score of 9 to 4. That civilians may come to know more about polo, the first of a series of games between a team from Ft. Benjamin Harrison and Indianapolis business men was played Sunday at the State fairground Coliseum. The Fort team beat the business men, 9 to 4. The soldiers were members of the second team of the Eleventh Infantry. Members of the business men’s team were Capt. P. R. Tombaugh, Washington Bank and Trust Company; A. G. Foote, Truscon Steel Company, and Fred Rakeman, of the Washington Company. The infantry team consisted of Lieutenants L. W. Haney, Ralph Finch and George E. Isaacs. The first team of the infantry beat a team from the Third Field Artillery, 9 to 7. A tournament is scheduled for the latter part of next month between an Army team from Ft. Thomas, Ky., a Cincinnati, (Ohio), civilian team, a team from Louisville, Ky., and Indianapolis players./ MANY LACK CHUKCH TIE By Times Special NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—The United States has 60,000,000 persons without any church affiliations, the State Federation of Men’s Bible Classes was told at Its convention in Brooklyn.

SA YS FACTS FORM BASIS OF ‘REVELRY’ Author Talks About Book Which Is Disturbing Political Circles. Du United Press BURLINGAME, Cal., Nov. 15. “ ‘Revelry’ is an attempt to draw a picture of what occurs in a republic when a well-meaning but weak type of man is put in control of affairs,” said Samuel Hopkins Adams today In discussing his novel, which has created a stir in Washington. Adams is here visiting Stewart Edward White, novelist and big game hunter. "Revelry” deals with "President Willis Markham” betrayed by a group of friends who loot tho Government. Realizing the hopelessness of escape after he has taken poison accidentally, he refuses to call for aid and his passing appeals to have been a natural death. “The book,” Adams explained, "is not in any sense a political preachment. It is a narrative. It is drawn, in part, from several American administrations and against e. background of American politics. Tho atmosphere and the motivation are historical. jin part Its event parralled historical events. Not all of them occur in one administration.” Gone, but Not Forgotten Automobiles reported stolen to police belong to: Frank Trcsper, Needham, Ind., Chevrolet, 145-572, from Senate Ave. and Washington St. Russell Herne, 1540 S.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Roumanian Sovereign and Party See Steel Mills at Gary. KING CURTAILS JOURNEY Demands Mate Be Home by Christmas Eve. By United Press GARY, Ind., Nov. 15.—Queen Marie of Roumania today made her first visit to Indiana with an iaspection of the great steel mills here Prince Nicolas, who has a keen interest in industrial machinery, greatly enjoyed the trip. The sentimental value of Queen Marie’s presence in Roumania “on Christmas eve today caused the curtailment of her American visit. While the original itinerary will be carried out in full, and even extended to include Atlantic City, White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., and Richmond, Va., the Florida visit, on which her majesty had set her heart, will be omitted. The visit to North and South Carolina is also in doubt, due to plans of the royal, party to board the White Star liner, Majestic, Dec. 11. Custom Governs Her majesty received a message from King Ferdinand Sunday night demanding that she be in Bucharest during the Christmas holidays, to allow him to carry out the ysual custom of having his family about him at that season. Ferdinand’s cablegram means the cancellation of 100 social engagements in Southern cities hnd as many more in Washington and New York. Tentative plans call for a four-day visit in Washington, two days in Atlantic City while Prince Nicolas and Princess Ileana attend the Army-Navy football game In Chicago; three days in White Sulphur Springs, a day in Richmond, and possibly a day in Boston. Makes Tour of Chicago Sunday the Royal party toured Chicago, laid a wreath on the statue of Lincoln attended a private luncheon worshipped at a Roumanian Synagogue and an Orthodox Church and attended a ballet performance. The day was not without its troublesome moments, however. Three middle aged men and women were discovered passing out alleged communistic handbills before the synagogue and were summarily arrested by policemen who charged them with disorderly conduct and distributing hand bills, the latter being a local offense. They made no show of violence and their presence was unknown to the Royal party.

THE EMPEROR’S RING AM) THE RAJAH’S ELEPHANT Five times around the globe, twen-ty-six years, in the most romantic countries of the world —China, Japan, Persia, India —and so much happening in that time that I scarcely know just which incidents will prove most interesting to my readers. My adventures with the spiritualists in Sydney? How in Canton I narrowly escaped death when bound to the tracks while a trumcar came charging along ahead of schedule? Or, better yet, the story of the Emperor’s ring and the Rajah’s elephant! By the Emperor, I mean the Emperor of China, and the ring I always carry about with me. It is a strikingly brilliant ’diamond of a modest karat and an eighth, and set in a bizarre Chinese yellow-gold carving, the clawed talons of a dragon. Mystic by nature, the Chinese are very fond of magic, and when I opened my show in Peking there was as much excitement as a national holiday. In attendance on the opening night were the royal family and all the high officials of state. I had a great many tricks and illusions to perform in the time alotted, and I started out at great speed, treading one upon the other. To my astonishment, after a few minutes, a tall, solemn, gorgeously dressed individual walked up to the stage and delivered a message from the Emperor. I was to do my tricks more slowly! I explained that of the illusions depended upon speed for their effect, nnd this point was weightily discussed for a while. Then the Emperor agreed to the Justice of this, but requested that I stop a while after each trick while the nudlence discussed the ways and means of solving it. I complied, with the result that the show lasted until 4 o’clock in the morning. At the conclusion of the performance I passed down the aisle and, extracting a rabbit from a mandarin’s coat, I presented It to the Emperor. Ho seemed delighted and the next day I found out that he was Indeed. By special messenger he sent me the wonderful diamond ring, which I have never parted from since. This matter of receiving present* from all tho potentates I performed for was very lucrative to me, and on a tour through India I received lots of jewelry and other valuables.

OUR BOARDING HOUSE—By AHERN

A Yankee Magician In the Orient

Nicola, the mystic, is making his first tour in American vaudeville, after twentysix years of travel in the Orient, studying the magi* of all countries. During this F time he has had innumerable adventures, some comic, some thrilling, but all Interesting. A different adventure will be told by Nicola each day this week.

The culmination came when I gave a special show for the powerful Nizam of Hyderabad. With Yankee canniness I showed the Nizam the wonderful gifts-I had received from other rulers, hoping that his ego would induce him to surpass in magnanimity as he believed he surpassed tho others in power and distinction. I was not disappointed! After the show, the Nizam told me he had the most magnificent gift for me that I need ever hope to receive in the OHent. I was thrilled with the picture of some sparkling ruby as big as a roc's egg, or perhaps a 1,000-year-old tapestry. The Nizam led me out to the grounds of the palace and with overweening pride pointed out to the white gates. I looked and looked again—what did I see? A huge, husky, browsing elephant! Truly the Nizam's gift sur-
