U. S. EVIDENCE NEAR CLOSE IN OIL DEAL TRIAL Government Is Expected to Finish Case Tuesday; i Recess Today. By HERBERT LITTLE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—With the Government’s conspiracy case against Former Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall and Harry F. Sinclair virtually completed after two weeks of evidence, the trial resulting from the lease of Teapot Dome Naval Reserve today was in recess until Monday. Prosecutor Owen Roberts plans to call Robert W. Stewart, chairman, Standard Oil Company of Indiana, as the last witness on the Continental Trading Company phase of the indictment, seeking to show Sinclair passed 230,500 in Liberty Bonds to Fall. United States to Close Tuesday Stewart may testify on a Government charge which so far has not been established by “eye-witness testimony.” That is, that Sinclair was a Continental stockholder, and, thus, in a position to receive certain profits in Liberty Bonds traced to Fall’s possession. Afterward, the Government will present evidence dealing with Sinclair’s admitted loan of $25,000 in Liberty Bonds to Fall in 1923, after Fall retired from the Cabinet. The Government charges this loan was a part of the conspiracy to defraud the Government. The Government probably will close its case Tuesday, and the defense will start at once with a notable array of witnesses. Resume Story of Contract Charles W.

ANGORA, Oct. 29.—Turkey is today celebrating two anniversaries; the proclamation of the republic, and the beginning of the nation’s westernization. Both occurred Oct. 29, 1923. Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the first president of the new Turkish republic, led the way to both happenings. His activities resulted in revolutionary changes which are generally being inaugurated throughout the country. Soon after the one-time Ottoman empire was proclaimed a republic, century-old Turkish traditions were altered and gradually numerous important changes were made in some of the oldest customs of the East. Throughout the today—which was declared a national holiday—the entire country is celebrating not only the fourth anniversary of the republic, but also the satisfactory continuance of Turkey’s westernization.

hearing their comments and reasons for each bid and play as it is made. Listeners-in should have four players and a pack of cards ready for the opening of the game. Thousands of enthusiasts have set aside Tuesday night especially for the bridge games and no other appointment or engagement will be permitted to interfere with the broadcast. The games appeal not only to the seasoned player, but also to beginners eager to improve - their game, for by listening to the games as broadcast they actually may play with America’s best players. Bridge by radio was first put on the air three years ago and has gained in popularity until it has become the established feature of leading stations and newspapers such as The Times. One of the interesting features is that advance hands will appear in The Times previous to the broadcasting of the game. By this means, bridge players are able to play the game in their own way and then compare their judgment with that of the experts. Interest in foreign countries has been especially keen, as many letters are received asking that reprints of the game be mailed to them. Among the countries heard from are England, France, Spain, Russia, China, India, Scotland, Ireland, Hawaiian Islands and Alaska. Quite a number of letters were received from ships in the Pacific and Atlantic waters.
SIX EMPLOYES' DRIVE GROUPS SETTO START Goal of $722,800 Must Be Reached, Marmon Tells Workers. More than 500 men and women attended the pre-campaign dinner for workers in the six employes divisions of the Indianapolis Community Fund organization Friday night at the Claypool. v Walter C. Marmon, general chairman of the executive committee, urged workers to make the goal set by the fund this year. In the last years Indianapolis has been improving but has not yet reached the quota set, he said. Budget Not “Padded” “The goal is $722,800. It represents the actual needs of thirtyeight agencies which share in the fund,” he said. “Many persons believe the budget is guessed at, and in order to get what we really need, we just add several thousands to the quota to be sure and get what is needed. But this is all wrong. Experts study the needs of each agency and fix the budget. This is then passed on by the superintendent and nally by the executive board of the Community Fund,” he said. Robert Bryson, chairman of the public utilities division, told of the organization among public employes, and urged the members of his division to do their utmost to make their sections a 190 per cent unit. Chairmen Are Ready “Our plans were completed and things looked promising for a 100 per cent drive in our division,” he said. Today it is different. Salaries of teachers, policemen, firemen and other public employes are being held up. But despite all the obstacles, the public employes will meet their quota. Just as soon as the city treasurer honors vouchers for salary checks, we will begin to measure up to the standard,” he said. George Torrence, chairman of the railroad division, announced he is ompleting plans for a race among the various railroad companies to see which one will report 100 per cent first. Chairmen of the four other divisions explained their plans.

QUEEN MARIE IS 52 YEARS OLD j HAS QUIET DAY
Watches Political Turmoil From Background; Marriage Talked.
Bu United Press _ _ , BU CHARCOT, Oct. 29.—The loneliest queen in Europe celebrated her fifty-second birthday today. Pushed to the background of public attention while her grandson, 6-year-old King Michael, occupies the throne his father, Prince Carol is seeking, Queen Marie spent her birthday dreaming of the great adventure that started 35 years ago, when she married Ferdinand, and which ended recently on his death. Helene Has More Power Her birthday was a quiet one for Queen Marie, as the whole of Rumania is speculating on the significance of the moves of Prince Carol to regain the throne he renounced a year ago. No longer does Queen Marie have the prestige, or even the right to claim the power which she held so firmly one year ago today. H:r daughter-in-law, Princess Helene of Greece —the mother of 6-year-old King Michael—is now far more powerful than Marie in the affairs of Rumania. On the other hand, there is none who ever attempt to claim that Marie is not interested in her adopted country, and it can even be said that she is by far the most capable queen left in Europe. During the prolonged illness of the late King Ferdinand, Marie took the affairs of state into her own hands and ran things as she thought best—without fear or favor to or parties—and in the end was generally acclaimed a success. In fact it has been said that during the last few years that Ferdinand war. king, it was not actually his reign, but "Marie’s Reign” and will probably go down in history as such. Marriage Rumored There have been a number of rumors and reports that Mar.e is c—templating marriage again. How far these reports can be accepted as within the realms of possibility cannot be said, but it has more than once been hinted that Marie might look with favor upon a suit of_an English or American millionaire.

tion that she is desirous of making another trip to the United States has increased the speculations in diplomatic and social circles close to the royal faiAily that Marie may be laying plans for the future, and possibly for herself. Marie spent the day quietly, receiving gifts from all of the members of the royal family, including her six-year-old grandson Michael, who delivered his gifts in person to his grandmother. It is understood that the exCrown Prince Carol, who renounced his rights to the throne after taking up his residence in Paris with his morganatic wife, Mme. Lupescu, sent his mother a gift.
