BY BEN STERN HOOSIERDOM is to be treated to an exhibition of old-time presidential stumping next week, when Governor “Alfalfa Bill” Murray of Oklahoma will make six speeches in three days in the central and northern parts of the state. Murray, expected to announce for the Democratic nomination within a few days, certainly has picked out a man’s size speaking program. He opens his tour with an address here Tuesday afternoon at the district conference of Indiana Rotarians. The picturesque one-man government of Oklahoma will proceed immediately to Monticello, where he will address a gathering of Second district Democrats that night. The next afternoon (Wednesday) Grant county Democrats will hear him at Marion, fit a meeting arranged by Mayor Jack Edwards; and that night, after crossing the state, Murray will speak to First district Democrats at Gary. u It * His schedule,calls for a speech at the Indiana Petroleum association meeting in the Anthony hotel at Ft. Wayne at noon Thursday and that night he is to appear at a rally in Cadle tabernacle here. Probably the most picturesque and interesting of all the presidential aspirants, Murray is noted not only for his 5-bent cigar and his suspenders, but for the fact that he wrote the Constitution of Oklahoma and has, by use of his powers as Governor, arbitrarily increased the price of oil through ordering militia to halt production. It has been years since Indiana has been stumped in such a vigorous fashion by a presidential aspirant, and his friends feel that he may obtain much .support and some convention pledges by a personal appearance. n n The puzzle to all observers is, however, how former State Senator Perry Easton became Murray’s manager. The political strength and prestige of Easton is summed v.p in the following incident. Easton appeared in the office of Sheriff Buck Sumner here and put the bee on him for a contribution to defray the cost of Murray’s appearance at Cadle Tabernacle. “Who’s Murray?” asked Buck, feigning ignorance. Easton explained all about the Oklahoma Governor and asked Buck to donate. “Why should I?” asked the sheriff. “He isn’t going to be President and, anyhow, I know I’m not going to be delegate to the national convention, and it’s a dead certainty that you won’t be, so what are you getting so ffet up about?” Easton left without the contribution. Heuss, 79, Indianapolis resident forty-three years, who died today at his home, 1430 Kennington street, will be held at the residence at 2 Monday, with burial in Crown Hill cemetery. Mr. Heuss was born in Germany. He was a lithographer by trade. Ends Dental Lectures Series A series of dental hygiene lectures by the Marion County Tuberculosis Association has been completed by Dr. A. E. Fogg of Chicago, who, since Jan. 25, addressed 16,000 school children and teachers in the county.

HEIRESS MADE A MOSLEM IN FLYINGMOSQUE English Beauty, a Princess of Borneo, Takes Vows in Speeding Plane. (CoDvrleht. 1932. by United Press) PARIS, Feb. 19.—An English beauty and heiress, a princess of Borneo, who, some day, may rule over savages, revealed today why she left England as a Christian in an airplane speeding 100 miles an hour, and landed in France a Mohammedan, after a ceremony in mid-air in the flying mosque. “I chose the air for my conversion because I wished it to be performed on no earthly territory,” the heiress, Princess Muda of Sarawak, Borneo, and daughter of the late Sir Walter Palmer, said. The fore compartment of the Silver Wings, liner of Imperial Airways, was converted into a mosque. The ceremony was carried. out 5,000 feet in the air, halfway between England and France. Dr. Khalid Sheldrake, president of the Western Islamic Asssociation, performed the ceremony. Prays to Allah Shouting loudly to overcome the roar of the motors, he prayed to Allah, “the beneficent, the merciful, all praise due Allah, lord of the world.. . . the beneficent, the merciful.” Then he placed his hands over the palm of the right hand of the princess, who repeated the words of the Koran; “I bear witness that nothing deserves to be worshipped but Allah, Allah, and I bear witness that Mohammed is the apostle of Allah, Allah.” “I give the name of Khair-Ul-Nissa, fairest of women,” Dr. Sheldrake shouted as solemnly as possible under the circumstances. Princess Muda wore a black fur coat and a black frock. The red fez worn by Dr. Sheldrake was the only eastern touch to the scene. The silver Wings crew was aboard in regular uniform. A steward served luncheon to the princess and Dr. Sheldrake after the ceremony. The plane carried other regular passengers. Reared a Protestant The princess has made other changes in her religion. She was reared in the Protestant faith and later became an ardent Christian Scientist. In 1930 she became a Roman Catholic and was received in private audience by the Pope, wearing the national Malayan costume at his request. The princess will become the custodian of one of the most valuable garments in the world, a tunic which Mohammed is said to have worn more than 1,300 years ago. The garment is valued at $1,750,000. The faithful from many parts <i the world are expected to inspect the tunic when displayed at a large hall in London. Princess M!uda was left a fortune by her father, the late Sir Walter Palmer, who was a partner in the biscuit manufacturing firm of Huntley and Palmer. As the wife of the Prince of Sarawak, Borneo, she some day may rule over the savage headhunters. / OLD LAWS UNCOVERED ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 19.—Among things you can not do lawfully in New York state is sell wine without a government stamp, and with swords or dance on a stretched wire, Assemblyman Carl Pack has revealed in seeking repeal of twentynine ancient laws.
