MARIE JOSE GIVEN PAPAL BLESSING ON BRIDAL EVE

ROYAL PARTY IS PRESENTED FOR SHORT AUDIENCE Memories of Ancient Italy Revived by Colorful Pageantry. TROOPS PASS IN REVIEW Belgian Princess Receives Pledge of Fealty as Future Queen. BY THOMAS B. MORGAN L’nltc'* Press Staff Correspondent ROME Jan. 7.—Pope Pius XI. as a spiritual and temporal sovereign, received foreign royalty at the Vatican today for the first time since restoraton of the papal state, when King Albert and the royal Belgian wedding party visited him at the Vatican. Accom;>anied by Queen Elizabeth Prince Leopold and Princess Astrid, Prince Charles and Princess Marie Jose, the king was driven to the Vatican at 11 a. m., directly from the quirinal. King Albert and Queen Elizabeth conversed with Pope Pius for twenty minutes. Princess Astrid. Princess Marie Jose, Prince Leopold and Prince Charles were received after the king and queen had departed. They remained in the throne room for ten minutes. Princess Marie Jose said she was “immensely happy” to receive the pope’s blessing on the eve of her wedding. Abandons Custom In leaving from the Italian palace rather than from the residence of his own diplomatic representative, King Victor was the first to abandon the custom—maintained since the popes became "prisoners of the Vatican”—in which visitors avoided going directly from the Italian palace to the papal residence. Under the escort of Monsignor Caccia-Dominioni, master of the papal household, the king and his family arrived shortly thereafter at the small throneroom, at the entrance of which they were met by the Pope. All the visitors genuflected and kissed the papal ring. The Pope took his seat on the throne, while the royal family were grouped around him on gilded armchairs upholstered in red damask. Astrid and Marie Jose sat at the king’s right, while the two princes were on his left. Pageant Colcrful Every street in Rome and every nighway into the Eternal City became a living mass of color during the pageant earlier in the day. Swarming into the capital by every means of transportation—and on foot—came legions of pilgrims from every part of the kingdom, to make holiday and sing their homage to Marie Jose. On these streets were seen figures that might have been found in Rome, treading their way to the games in the Colosseum, twenty centuries ago. And they were .loetled by modern buffalo boys from the Pontine marshes, peasants from Lombardy, and tanned desertriders from Tripoli. Every district of Italy from the Alps to Somaliland and from Eritrea to Sicily, was represented in the gorgeous and spontaneous display. United Natkm Shown The kaleidoscopic crowd apparently had one object—the object expressed Monday by state officials and diplomats—to show to Marie Jo6e the strength and beauty of a united nation, and to picture for her the high lights of a history of twenty-seven centuries. Each of the regions featured its own long history from dynasty to dynasty, from triumph and oppression to the days of the fearless patriot, Gambetti and a united Italy under the House of Savoy. The processions issued from the central military barracks, known as the Macao and moved slowly, impressively along the Via Venti Settmbre to the famous fountains of the Quirinal square. Standing erect at military salute. Prince Humbert greeted each division from the main balcony of the palace. Princess Marie Jose stood at his aide, smiling apd watching the pageantry of the country which after Wednesday will be hers. The pageants of the Venetian regions especially interested her because it was there that she attended school and first met Prince Humbert.

Demand Increases Each Year As more and more people appreciate this better method of treating colds, the demand for Vicks increases year after year. Only a short time ago the famous slogan, “Over 17 Million Jars Used Yearly,” was raised to “21 Million” to keep step with this demand. These figures. too, have been outgrown, as there are now “Over 26 Million Jars Used Yearly”—a jar for every family in the United States. VICKS ▼ VAPORUB

NEGRO VALET, LINK IN FILM DEATH, FOUND Taylor’s Servant Ready to Reveal Slayer’s Name to Grand Jury. BY FRANK H. BARTHOLOMEW. United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1930. by United Press* SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7. Henry Peavy, second missing witness in the William Desmond Taylor murder case, was found in a northern California city today by the United Press. “I am willing to return to Los Angeles immediately and tell the grand jury all I know,” the young Negro said. “I’ll tell them more than the district attorney let me tell the first time.” “Do you know who killed Taylor?” he was asked. “I’ll tell that to the grand jury,” he said nervously. He had been awakened from a sound sleep. “Did you confide in Dr. Thomas Filben that (a motion picture celebrity was named) killed Taylor?” “Yes, I did.” “Will you repeat it to the grand jury?” “Yes.” Heads Law League Dr, Filben, who befriended Peavey, is executive secretary of the California Law Enforcement League. The person accused by Peavey was the one named by Otis Hefner, another long missing witness, in an exclusive statement to the United Press Monday. Hefner, a convict at Folsom penitentiary, was paroled in 1926 after he had made a confidential statement to the prison board that the motion picture director was killed as a result of the operations of a narcotic ring of which Hefner was a member. Hefner said he was with Edward Sands, the only key witness not yet located, when the latter found Taylor’s body. While Hefner’s story covered events immediately after the murder, including the identification of a woman he said he saw rushing from the bungalow court, Peavey revealed what happened the preceding evening while Taylor still was alive. “I’d been working for Mr. Taylor as valet for eight months before he was killed,” Peavey said. “He was my best friend. I’ve got his picture right here on my dresser.” “I went to Mr. Taylor’s house about 7 the .evening that he was shot. I wanted to check out for the day. Heard Loud Voices “Before I opened the door, I heard loud voices. One was a woman’s. She was angry. “I waited around for ten minutes, but the quarrel kept up. I wanted to go downtown, and I didn’t know whether to open the door or not.” “Did you recognize the woman’s voice?” he was asked. “Yes. I saw her, too, for pretty soon I got tired waiting outside and : opened the door to speak to Mr. Taylor.” “Who was she?” Peavey hesitated, nervously. “You told Dr. Filben who she was, didn’t you?” “Yes, I did.” “You named ?” He nodded his head. “Was that true?” “Yes, it was!” he cried. “It was all true. Every word of it! I’ll go down to Los Angeles and tell it all to the grand jury. I’m not afraid.” COLLEGE STUDENTS CONTINUE STUDIES Epidemic Does Not Prevent School Work at Indiana Central Morose sequels to the spinal meningitis epidemic were reflected at Indiana Central college today, where co-eds and campus heroes wore melancholy countenances because officials there persist they must keep rendezvous with studies, despite closings of other scholastic institutions. Not to get a vacation is bad. they say. but next week there are examinations. Further, the dean of women has forbidden dates this week. This announcement elicited unrestrained provocation among students, but “back to books’’ is the pedagogical order. Now co-eds are busying themselves in decorating dormitory parlors in preparation for “stay at home dates,” while across the campus male undergradfiates laugh a bit over their dilemma and carelessly continue their rook and chat sessions while lessons “go hang.” INSTALL NEW OFFICERS J. A. Sprague Succeds J. E. Hanft as Universal Club Head. The Universal Club installed new officers at its luncheon at the Columbia Club today. Jesse E. Hanft, retiring president, was succeeded by James A. Sprague. Other new officers are Urey M. Warmouth, vicepresident; Willis S. Thompson, sec-retary-treasurer; Edward J. W. Fark and William D. Lewis, ser-geant-at-arms; Perry P. Smith, William R. Roepke, Frank Knyvett, John Geiger and Rollin E. French, directors. BURGLARSARE BALKED The crash of a window they shattered to gain entrance to an Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company store, at Thirtieth street and Cornell avenue, early today, spoiled plans of two burglars to rob the store. Mrs. Nora Redfern, 2965 Cornell avenue, across the street from the store, awoke, aroused her son, and sent him to a neighbor’s house to oumon police. The burglars heard him beating at the neighbor's door and fled. Police emergency squads found no trace of them.

Collins, who Monday night was honor guest at a dinner in the Marott hotel, marking the termination of the jurist's twentieth continuous year on the bench in Marion county.

Marott, member of the dinner committee, introduced speakers. Other committee members were j Charles W. Wells, chairman, and Samuel E. Rauh. Guests included L. Ert Slack, Judges Dan V. White and Thomas E. Garvin, Paul Rhoadarmer, chief deputy prosecutor, and Earl Cox, attorney. Music for the occasion was furnished by Mary Traub, soloist. Hall gave a semi-humorous account of the life of Collins in Indianapolis. “Providence gave him a talent for friendship,” he said. “His sympathy and interest centers in people, and he is sincere and loyal. He possesses the rare ability to select capable, efficient men and to enlist them as co-workers in the cause of philanthropy. His opportunity came from the opportunity to speak words of cheer and to do deeds of kindness.” Judge Collins. In his response, detailed the sociological problems in the administration of justice, and advised curative maesures through probation, which, he said, is of first importance.

Valor’s Reward Bn United Press CHICAGO. Jan. 7.—Eleven years ago, Daniel Stewart, then 25, stepped forward when a volunteer was wanted for a dangerous sortie into no man’s land. For that the United States gave him a hero's medal. Monday he stood in Judge Herbert G. Immenhausen's court, a hollow-cheeked man in ragged clothes. In his arms were his two children, frightened at the bustle about them and wondering why papa was crying. “There’s mamma.” said one of the tots as a woman put out a hand toward the children. “Get away! You’re not fit to touch them,” the man said bitterly. The woman turned away. She was in court to answer Stewart’s charge of bigamy. He declared she had run away with another man. Judge Immenhausen ordered the wife sent to the psychopathic hospital for observation. The other man, Thomas Coster, was held for federal action. Both will be fed in county institutions. The hero must shift for himself and his babies.

CHICAGO, BROKE, IN BAD POSITION Crime Mounts Each Hour as Former Cops Hunt Jobs. Bn United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-The city of Chicago was down to jingling pennies today and dodging creditors to whom it owes more than $250,000,000. Crime mounted hourly as 473 former policemen sat idle at home or looked for other jobs. Employes of city and county governments practically had given up hope of getting paid this month's salaries. All in all, the city was in a bad fix and things rapidly were getting worse. Among the pay rolls for which no funds are in sight are city rolls totaling $3,500,000 due Jan. 20; county rolls of $450,000 due Wednesday and $2,000,000 advanced by banks for October and November salaries long overdue; pay rolls for civil service employes, working for the school board, amounting to $400,000, and teachers’ salaries of $1,850,000 due Jan. 24.

He was taken to a hospital and told he probably would not live many hours. Loyal to gangland’s code of silence, he declined to name his assailants. McManus was suspected in the murder of Henry Connors last September.

GERMAN CHIEFS FACE SETBACK AT TM HAGUE Two Events Indicate Defeat for Political Program of Delegation. BY SAMUEL DASIIIELL United Press Staff Correspondent THE HAGUE. Jan. 7.—The political victory upon which Dr. Julius Curtius and his German delegation to the second Hague reparations conference had counted clearly was out of the question today. Two events indicated defeat for the German program. First was the summons of Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank, to The Hague. Second was the decision of Philip j Snowden, British chancellor of the ! exchequer, to join with Premier Andre Tardieu of France in his demand for additional sanctions (military guarantees) in the event Germany defaults on her payments under the Young plan. Overplayed Hands It is believed here that Groat Britain's agreement to join France in her stand for sanctions was due to the fact that the German delegation overplayed their hands through their insitence upon the insertion of a “good will” clause in the reparations protocol, which would have nullified, virtually, the safeguards already in the Versailles treaty. Observers believe the Germans placed too much stress on the clause in the German-American treaty, which places Germany in* the same category with other debtors to the United States. The French, it is pointed out, originally were willing not to mention sanctions in the protocol, relying entirely upon the Versailles treaty for guarantees. French Become Suspicious When the Germans stressed the point, however, the French became suspicious, and the result was a surprising solidarity on the part of the allied diplomats. The coming of Dr. Schacht, who has been a severe critic of the present German government’s financial policy, is a blow to the prestige of ! the delegation. A bitter debate had | preceded the decision not to make | him one of the official delegation | to The Hague. It is believed probable that Dr. Schacht will co-operate with Snowden and Tardieu and formulate a sanctions clause, so worded that It will mollify public opinion at home, and at the same time be sufficiently strong and unequivocal to satisfy the French parliament. CITY WOMAN WILL BE BURIED IN MARSHALL CO. Mrs. Ralph E. Barrett Came Hero in 1901 With Husband. Arrangements for the funeral of ! Mrs. Ralph E. Barrett, 56, of 526 1 East Fall Creek boulevard, who died 1 Monday in a store at Ttfenty-eighth street and Central avenue, were to be completed today with the arrival of a son from Denver. Rites will be held at Flamier & Buchanan mortuary, with burial in j Marshall county, former home of Mrs. Barrett. Mrs. Barrett came to Indianapolis with her husband, Ralph E.
