ILL SIAMESE KING SPEEDING EAST TO N. Y. Royal Train Will Enter U. S, at Portal, N. D., on Sunday. QUEEN NURSES HUSBAND Ruler Appears in Public With Wife Despite His Sickness. BY GEORGE E. lIELMER lilted Pres* Staff Correspondent VANCOUVER, B. C., April 18.— Oriental royalty was speeding eastward today on a special trai carrying King Prajadhipok, Queen Rambai-Barni and their entourage to New York, from where his highness will go to John Hopkins hospital at Baltimore for an eye operation. Hectlce day receptions prior to debarkation activities ended about 6:30 Friday night, and at midnight the regal train left here bearing an ill monarch and his loyal companion on their cross-country journey. The train will enter the United States at Portal, N. D.. late Sunday. Canadian officials will be replaced there by Americans, who will escort the royal party to New York. Queen Nurses 111 Husband Although King Prajadhipok admittedly was seriously 111 and took chanecs of endangering himself by exposure when he greeted accompanying officials late Friday, the train carried no special nurse. The queen, assisted Rear Admiral Momchao Thavara Jayant, the king’s physician, in taking care of her husband. When the royal couple appeared together Friday for the first time since the party arrived on this continent, they resembled a pair of youngsters on an excursion. The queen had been at her husband's bedside almost constantly, doing much of the work a nurse ordinarily would do. Os slight build and small In stature, only King Prajadhipok’s regal bearing betrays his identity. He appeared to be far younger than his 38 years, and his beautiful wife easily could pass for 18. Couple Traveling Incognito Because the king had been ill and unable to meet officials, Prince Svasti, his uncle and the father of Queen Rambai-Barni, took the monarch's place in receiving Canadiana delegations at Victoria and Vancouver. Prince Svasti won over officials and newspaper men by his hearty greetings. The king and queen are traveling incognito as Prince and Princess Sukhodya, and will assume their regal titles only when visiting the White House on the evening of April 22. Shortly thereafter they will go to Oplin Hall, at Purchase, N. Y., palatial home of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, where the royal headquarters will be established while the party is in the United States.

HOOVER’S POLICY IN NICARAGUA BIRTH OF NEW DOCTRINE

‘Hands Off’ Attitude Wholly Opposed to That of Coolidge. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 18.—The evolution of what may go down in diplomatic history as the “Hoover Doctrine’’ was seen by some observers here today in the administration’s present Nicaraguan policy. This policy—only party enunciated in Secretary of State Stimson’s formal statement Friday—appeared to have two cardinal points: United States property in Nicaragua, bought by those who realized there was risk of internal disorders, is not necessarily en-, titled to military protection, although under certain conditions it may be. United States citizens In Nicaragua can not expect military protection if they disregard warnings to seek safety. Observers, in pointing out how widely this doctrine differs from that followed during the Coolidge administration, and earlier, cite President Coolidge’s address before the United Press at New York, in April, 1927. He said: Part of General Domain “The person and property of a citizen are a part of the general domain of the nation even when abroad. . . There is a distinct and binding obligation on the part of self-respecting governments to afford protection to the persons and property of their citizens, whereever they may be. These rights go with the citizens. Wherever he goes, these duties, of our government must follow him.’’ . On the other hand, Stimson, who has advised constantly with Mr. Hoover during the present Nicaraguan crisis, instructed American envoys in Nicaragua as follows: “You will advise American citizens that this government can not undertake general protection of Americans throughout that country with American forces. To do so would lead to dilfioulties and commitments this government does not propose to undertake. At Their Own Risk “Those (Americans) who remain do so at their own risk and must not expect American forces to be sent to their aid.’’ Stimson advised Americans either to evacuate the country or go to coast cities where war vessels are stationed. Thus far this doctrine has been applied only to Nicaragua. Offiicals decline , to. predict whether it will be employed in the entire Caribbean area, where United States forces often have been sent during the last thirty years to protect life and property. Inquiry at the state department today revealed that about 850 American lives and some $19,000,000 worth of American property will be affected by the administration’s policy in Nicaragua.

Lawrence Speaks; Times to Print Amazing Story “LawTence of Arabia” has spoken at last, and The Indianapolis Times and the United Press will present to you an exclusive series giving the inside story of why this British colonel turned from the glory of “uncrowned king of Arabia” to the humble place of “Aircraftsman Shaw’’—a private in the royal air force. You will find this one of the most fascinating series ever published in any newspaper. It is one of the outstanding journalistic enterprise achievements of recent months. Lawrence, the mysterious, fanned the flame of Arab revolt during the W’orld war. Today he takes orders and does even menial service. The “why” of this is given in the series, the first article of which will appear in The Times Monday. In conversations with Henry T. Russell, United Press staff corespondent, “Lawrence of Arabia’’ revealed the reasons for his voluntary choice of a life of hard manual labor, strict discipline and oblivion. It is one of the most dramatic personal stories that has come out of the great war. Hitherto Lawrence has had repeated offers of huge sums for his personal story and refused all requests to talk about himself. This is the first authentic story from Lawrence's own lips. START IT IN THE TIMES MONDAY.

WALSH DERIDES HOOVER'S STAND ON DROUGHT AID ‘President’s Sense of Values Is Out of Balance/ Declares Senator. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, April JB.—President Herbert Hoover has been criticised again for opposing federal appropriations for drought relief. Meanwhile, the Red Cross, which refused to accept United States money for this purpose, planned to seek more members to offset its recent heavy expenditures in the drought states. These plans were announced In resolutions passed as the American national Red Cross ended its annual convention. “All Out of Balance” “The President’s sense of values, spiritual and otherwise, appears out of balance,” said Senator Thomas Walsh (Dem., Mont.), in speaking of Hoover’s opposition to United States expenditure for drought relief. “The President,” said Walsh, “made a moving defense before the Red Cross convention a few days ago of his opposition to an appropriation from the treasury to that organization to help it out in the tremendous task it undertook to feed the hungry and cloth the naked during winter. Recalls War-Time Aid “It was a great preservation of spiritual values, he thought. “One recalls in this connection that the eluogists of the President in times a gone were wont to tell of the staggering sums he insisted, and successfully insisted, the governments of France and Great Britain should put up for the purpose when he undertook to feed the Belgians. “The judgment of the world at the time was that the spiritual values treasured by the people of Great Britain and France had been preserved rather than destroyed by this course.” NEW FIRM TAKES OVER 20-YEAR HOTEL LEASE Six-Story Pennsylvania Put in Hands of Eldo I.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1931

LESLIE’S PART IN TRUCK BILL WILL BE AIRED Marion Circuit Court to Delve Into Mystery of Disputed Measure. UTILITY 0. K. RUMORED Conspiracy Allegation to Be Added to ‘Home Rule’ Suit. Part played by Governor Harry G. Leslie in the mystery surrounding signing of House Bill 6, in a form different from that passed by the senate, will be aired in Marion circuit court, it was learned today. An additional paragraph to be added to the complaint asking that the bill not be published as law, will charge conspiracy. This will mean that the entire process by which the bill was presented as an honestly enrolled act and signed by the Governor will be gone into, it was asserted today by Richard Ewbank, one of the attorneys seeking the injunction. Demurrer Is Overruled Judge Harry O. Chamberlin on Friday overruled the state's demurrer in the case. It w’as announced by Hugh Merrifield, deputy attor-ney-general, who is appearing with Earl Stroup, another deputy, on behalf of the secretary of state, that the next step will be filing of general- denial. This will mean that the case will be heard on its merits and with the matter of alleged conspiracy gone into, all persons connected with the bill’s progress may be called to appear. Besides the Governor, the list will include Lieutenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush, Walter Myers, Speaker of the house; Dick Heller, house clerk, and Leland K. Fishback, senate clerk. Utility O. K. Rumored One of the stories which may be brought out on the stand is the allegation that on the last night when the bill was signed, an Insull utility lobbyist sent the following note to the Governor’s office: “House Bill 6 is O. K.” The bill places complete jurisdiction over all bus and truck lines in the hands of the public service com-, mission. It is being fought by Indianapolis and tyfuncie because it will abolish “home rule” completely. AIRESCORT TO GREET HURLEY

BAKER AFFIRMS COURT'S STAND Lawyers Warned Against Delays by Judge. Reiterating today his belief that only speedy justice and heavy sentences will reduce crime, Judge Frank P. Baker informed lawyers they as well as prisoners must recognize the Marion criminal court is a “hardboiled” place. Speaking at a dinner for members of the Calvin W. Prather lodge, F. & A. M., Forty-second street and College avenue Friday night, Judge Baker enlarged upon comments, previously issued from the bench, regarding lawyers who apply for continuances of cases. “A lot of attorneys are trying to get continuances in the hope that the state’s witnesses will become scattered and will not be available when the case comes to trial,” Judge Baker declared. “Flagrant abuse of such privileges Is not going to be tolerated in my court for we are out to reduce crime regardless of whether it suits every one or not,” he continued. The judge explained suspended sentences are going to be few and far between in criminal court cases and that special judges sitting in his place will assume that attitude.

SPAIN’S UNITY ASSURED; SPLIT DANGER OVER Catalonia Agrees to Become Integral Part of Republic. AMPLIFY CHURCH BREAK Complete Separation Policy to Be Adhered To, Ministers Say. BY JOHN DEGANDT, United Press Staff Correspondent MADRID, April 18.—The unity of Spain under the republican government was assured today with settlement of the problem of Catalonian autonomy. Catalonia will be an integral part of the republic and details of its government system will be worked out by the forthcoming constitutional assembly, the provisional cabinet of Niceto Alcala Zamora said in announcing successful conclusion of negotiations at Barcelona. Simultaneously, the cabinet reiterated and amplified its policy of separation of church and state. The ministers decided to request all members of the clergy to refrain from mixing religious affairs and political affairs. The cabinet also decided that all government officials would abstain from official participation in religious ceremonies, as was the custom under the monarchy which supported the Catholic church. Neutrality Is Pledged It was emphasized, however, that the government would extend all courtesies to the ecclesiastical authorities and that the ministers themselves would remain strictly neutral In regard to religious affairs. The problem of autonomous government for the Basque provinces also was in process of solution, it was announced by the government ministers, who also said all financial obligations undertaken by the monarchical government would be recognized. The announcement was expected to strengthen the peseta on the exchange. The cabinet discussed the Catalonian problem for hours Friday night while representatives were in Barcelona negotiating with Francisco Macia, head of the Catalonian government. The meeting was interrupted when a telephone call from Barcelona announced an agreement had been reached.

Agrees to Respect Pact Marcia agreed to adhere to the pact signed with Madrid republicans at San Sebastian, under which Catalonian republicans agreed to work with the Madrid faction and to remain in the republic, permitting the constitutional assembly to work out details of the new government system. The government at Barcelona, which acted immediately to nullify action taken toward establishment of a separate republic, will be assured of the right to carry out its plans for autonomy. The Catalonians, however, pledged themselves to abide by the assembly decision, and not to attempt to use force in the future to split the republic. • Berenguer Offers to Surrender .
