District-'Attorney Edwin A. Olson, who contends Chicago’s politics are corrupt and the city is ldwless, despite the denials of JVlayor William E. Dever, ordered the Federal grand ' jury to inquire further into the mass of evidence which already has brought about the indictments of a municipal judge, several high police officials, and the mayor of* Cicero, one of Chicago.s suburbs. Olson’s term expires Jan. 1 and he has announced he expects to have 3,000 politicians indicted between now and that date. Already 153 have been named. Olson said his present campaign was to determine whether the United States Government is “powerful enough to protect the regular processes of its courts.’’

Horse Eats With Human Guests Bu United Press BALTIMORE, Md„ Nov. 18. —Feted as few horses elver have been, Frank, favorite driving horse of Mrs. Agnes Johnson of this city,- Wednesday night exhibited complete equine equanimity when led into his mistress’ dining room for a party given in honor of bis seventh birthday. His party costume consisted of a neck; garland of chrysanthemums. But the other guests took so many of the flowers for souvenirs that not even a vestige of the collar was left today. Walking with stately step over planks laid from the stable to the kitchen door, Frank was greeted by applause from a hundred guests, but he paid small heed. On the table was a silver dish heaped high with oats. Frank buried his head In the oats. Girls crowded about him as if he were a movie star, but he was indifferent. Having consumed his oats, Frank returned to his stable.

QUEEN SLIPS, BUT RETAINS HER POISE Heel Catches in Rug at Roumanian Church and She Falls to Knees. A few persons Wednesday witnessed how a Queen can suffer an accident and, recovering instantly, graciously assure her escort tnat “it's all right. It didn’t amount to anything.’’ As the Queen descended the steps from the altar of the Chrlstion Orthodox Roumanian Church, Wednesday evening, after the ceremony and the presentation of gifts to her, her heel caught in the rug at the top step. Ixising her balance, she fell to her knees. Several of her' escorts hurriedly helped her to her feet. '"l’m quite all right,’’ she said and repeated a number of times. She limped slightly as she walked down the aisle and her escorts seemed much concerned. "Poor soul, I just know it’s because she’s getting tired—so much traveling,” one of the Roumanian women said softly. “Bring your car down to the race if you can,” was Prince Nicolas’ parting remark to F. E. Moskovics, j president of the Stutz Car I Company. “The Vt/nce was referring to the | open races held in Roumania each ! summer,” Moskovics explained. “I sqiote to him of possibly entering a car in the event.” L Several in the crowd that lined j the circle on both sides of the < 'olumbia Club had opera and field I glasses to insure “close-ups” of the royal party. , Mrs. H. C. Winter, Columbia Club i hostess, arranged for three young ; matrons, wives of junior club memI b|ers. to act as the reception committee for Princess Ileana. They were Mrs. Warrick Wallace, Mrs. Scuyler Cole and Mrs. Matthews Fletcher. Medals, most of them conferred by Queen Marie to American oliiccrs during the war, weTe in evidence adorning several seated on the Queen’s dais at the banquet. Outstanding were those of Dr. I Daniel J. McCarthy of Davenport, j la., who, with his wife, were in attendance. V K* i Dr. McCarthy received the order ' of “Regina Marla” from the Queen for Ids services in a medical unit under tile Red Cross for nine months in Roumania, He also wore n. medallion presented him by the King of Serbia, son-in law jf the Queen.

The Queen seemed v to tire during j the evenipg, the strain of her social j rush telling in the slight sag of | her usually majestically straight ! shoulders. Several rtfWfc's. while ' speaking, she straightened herself 1 with an evident effort. I Prince Nicolas also appeared fa- | tigued, largely due to the tiring drive from Chicago. Princess Ileana, alone of the three royal -visitors, seemed to have withstood the day’s | journey best, in spite of being in an auto crash. She smiled continually i upon Charles W. Jewett, mayor of Indianapolis, who was her ' dinner partner. The Princess retired I to the special train early, however, j to rest, he,r attendants evidently \ feeling the auto 'crash might have been a strain on her strength. The fabled “kiss on the hand,’’ known to the American populace I generally only through the medium of books, stage and screen, became a reality before their eyes when Princess Ileana rose, promptly at 11 o'clock, from her place to the Queen’s left* at the banquet and .stepped to her mother’s right, kissing the Queen’s right hand and bidding her "'good night.” The Queen kissed the princess’ left cheek as Ileana bent to take her hand. The Queen was visibly touched when Hilton U. Brown came,to - tiiat part of his welcoming address where he said: “ . . . and at some future time, once again our hoys of America may have to answer the call to arms in defense of liberty. Then will they again be ready, and they may be called to tight beside your son.” : At this reference the Queen ex--1 pressed her emotion In a wan smile. I Her face and manner was entirely calm throughout the rest of Brown’s address. The Queen seated the assembly with a gesture of her right hand, when they rose to their feet .and I applauded prior to her answer to the j welcoming address. ( The Queeti spoke in a clear soft : voice, and with but a slight accent. ; Her words for the most part were ! carefully chosen and only a very few times did she seem to grope for words to express herself. The sadness Queen Marie fell 1 was evident In lier speech and at , the conclusion her words became "throaty” as she mentioned “bidding the first of her last goodbyes.” Regaining lid- composure after a moment’s hesitation, she forced a smile and sat down. : The Queen kept the gold pencils tendered to her by Brigadier-General Dwight A. Aultman and Lieutenant- ; Governor Harold Van Orman, when ' they aske4 her to autograph their ! menus. “A souvenir for a souvenir.” ; the men remarked later. Work of the street cleaning deI partment in carefully grooming the j Meridian St. approach to the Soldiers j and Sailors Monument went for ! naught. j Festive crowds in the office build- ; lng near the Circle, waiting for the 1 Queen, tore to bits many sheets of paper and the pieces, thrown to the winds, floated down like snow and 'settled on the pavement. A few long paper streamers also descended on j the streets and the crojvds.

GOLDEN-COATED ME WOMAN IN LITTLE CHURCH Queen Speaks to Fellow Countrymen of ‘My ChiL dren and Yours.’ __ By Kldora Field A queen m a golden coat came to j Indianapolis, passed through the; milling crowds, bowed, smiled, made j gracious speeches, and all who cjjme | into the circle of her glance and i her smile were ready to say, “It’s j not because she’s a Queen —really, not that —that we admire her so. It’s just because she’s guch a charming, lovely woman.” All that you might* have pictured royalty to be —this was Queen Marie of Roumania. But those who went with her out to the little Roumanian church after tho elaborate welcoming ceremonies, got another picture of her as just a woman, a mother. Church Bt'Us Peal Through the streets lined with wide-eyed "common folks,” the Queen passed in, royal pageant and a the line of edrs turned west tow&rd the Christian Orthodox Roumanian Church at Blackford and Market Sts., the chiming of church bell was heard. Louder they pealed as the royal car came nearer, then the line of cars stopped, the Queen descended. Through a line of quaintly dressed Roumanian women in native costume, past wreaths and baskets of flowers, into the candle-lighted interior of the old world church, walked a woman in a golden coat, rather lost in thought, a lltiile weariness creeping into her blue eyes. "Hallelujah,” the choir chanted, apd down the aisle, up the flowerstrewn steps, to the altar, the woman in the golden coat walked. She stood, shifting a bit in the golden shoes while the choir chanted again and again, but softly now, “Hallelujah.” Then, in a great chair, golden too, like her coat, the woman sat whjle a service—in her native tongue—was chanted. Then she rose again, made a gracious little speech. “My Children and Yours” "My children and your children”— that was what she talked about, and the Roumanian men and wofrven listened eagerly gratefully. A mother, with slightly tired eyes was talking. Gifts were given her, then the singing began again. The royal escort started to move forward, the golden figure left the platform and as the cnurch bells pealed nptes of triumph, a woman passed from the candlelighted church. Outside the crowds milled and craned again. “She’s coming, the Queen is coming:” they said. AJgrt, head high, vivacious, royal, she passed. The Queen, into the world again.. Attorneys arrested Police Raid Offices and Report Finding Liquor. Federal prohibition agents today held Earl Sample, 48, ex-judge of Hancock Circuit '“ourt, and Francis T. Boyden, 46, with law offices at 63 the When Bldg., on liquor charges. I Agents Bendel and Sturgeon, aided ' by local police, raided the suite of rooms and reported finding liquor there. Both were tjaken to city prison in the patrol wagon. x

THE INDIANAPOLIS’ TIMES

PRINCESS LA UGHS ABOUT CAR CRASH Proves Vivacious Guest at D inner—Retires Early, Due to . Weariness—Prince Talks Motors.

Sklddy roads have no more respect for royalty than for the ordinary motorist. Princess Ileana of Roumania [ learned that lesson ..Wednesday when she drove her car into-the rear of a truck near Grant Park,’lll., shak-1 ing up herself and denting a fender i and knocking off a hub cap of the automobile. “The Princess laughed at reports that she was suffering in a hospital j because of the accident," said G. G. | Culver, regimental adjutant of £ul- j ver Military Academy, who was rid-; ing with her. “We took a little time out when the Princess complained of nausea at Rossvßle, 111., where 1 changed to Nicola's car, but they were soon on their way again.” Prince Nicolas, who also had been driving, remained within a hundred feet of his sister’s car, as far as Rossville. Prince Goes Ahead Then he forged ahead while his sister rested, arriving for an inspection of the Stutz factory at 4:55 p. m. Less than an hour later, Nicolas rewarded the patience of several hundred persons of whom many had gathered as early as 3 p. m., at the Columbia Club. i ' “The Princes and Princess iffwe stepped on the gas coming down from Chleqgo,” Culver said. “Why, we were going sixty and sixty-five miles an hour most of the way. But no one had any worry because they both j are really excellent drivers.’> The Prince, a motor fan, talked of I automobiles and the pleasure of driv- I ing during the journey, according to companions. “It was nothing,” was the comment of the Princess concerning the accident. “The accident was merely a collision with a truck when I put the brakes on too fast apd, as for my illness, I was very tired and Just stopped too-est a little while.” The Primess was a vivacious dinner guest, but left for the special train an hour ahead of the royal party because of weariness. Arriving at the Columbia Club. thV Prince obligingly posed for newspaTRAINING FOR FOREMEN Conferences Conducted by Purdue University Department. $ Foreman trailing conferences, a new activity of the engineering ox department of Purdue Uni- ■ versity, are meeting with consideri able interest in the Industries of Indianapolis and th® Calumet district according to university officials.

per photographers and told reception committee members that he wished to exchange his motoring cap and fur-collared overcoat for more formal attire. He went to his room on the fifth floor of the club, emerging a little later resplendent in the blue and gold of a Roumanian naval officer. A graduate of Cambridge University, Prince Nicolas appears more of a Briton than a Prince of n Latin race. He speaks English, not American, and his blonde hair and cast of features were similar to that of the average voting British officer. English Air The Prince comes by his English air legitimately, for Queen Marie is the granddaughter of of Queen Victoria and the royal family has spent many years in England, particularly when Germans and Austrians overran their Tittle country during the World War. Nicolas was jubilant as lie examined tlie mechanism of cars at the Stutz factory. He compared the motors with those of European cars and commented upon similar parts. Culver said the Prince has five automobiles at his disposal in his native land. The Prince drove a Stutz car from Chicago, but after bis arrival here rode in a Marmon. Prince Nicolas joined his distinguished mother in a visit to the Christian Ortiiodox Roumanian Church at W. Market and Blackford Sts.

SPURIOUS MONEY FINANCES DEALS OF BOOTLEGGERS U. S. Secret Service Bares Counterfeiting by Master Traffickers. Ru United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. The United States secret service has unearthed a serious counterfeiting jdot among master bootleggers. It became known today Federal sleuths hsfd corralled one bootlegger with sixty-one $1 Oil-bin*, part of the output of a ring engaged in making spurious money wherewith to traffic in rum. Evidence so far unearthed leads the powerful secret service under chief, W. H. Moran, to believe it can run down more of tlie liootlcgger counterfeiters, who not only cheat each other with false money, but put some of it into general circulation. But their task is perilous and difficult. Moran revealed that Government operatives, who go into underworld districts after counterfeiters are now suspected of being prohibition agents and are doubly watched by liquor law violators and counterfeiters. To combat this new development, Moran will probably request Congress to increase tlie secret service personnel.
