CROWDS FLOCK TO PARIS FOR DOUMER RITES Million Will See Funeral Thursday: Royalty to Attend. L nited Prr, n PARIS, May 11.—Thousands of pilgrims reached Paris today in a drizzling rain to witness the pomp and display of the state funeral to be given the murdered President Paul Doumer Thursday. Despite the unfavorable weather outlook, 1.000.000 mourners were expected to line the route of the funeral procession. Madame Doumer and Premier Andre Tardieu completed arrangements for the funeral. Tardieu. j whose ministry resigned Tuesday w-hen Albert Lebrun was elected president, succeeding Doumer, ! agreed to carry on his duties pend- j ing formation of anew government. Doumer s body will be taken from 1 the Elyses palace at 8 a. m., escorted by Spa hi horsemen riding j Arab ponies draped with black tassles. Muted military bands will follow the horsemen. Royalty to Attend Relatives of the president will be next in line, followed by President Lebrun, members of the late cabinet, the president of the chamber of deputies and the vice-president of the senate. Members of foreign royalty will come next, including the prince of Wales, the king of the Belgians, and the duke of Aosta. They will be followed by the diplomatic corps. Cardinal Verciier, archbishop of Paris, will officiate at a Notre Dame cathedral ceremony. The body will then be taken to the Pantheon, France's political shrine, where Tardieu will deliver the Aineral oration. Doumer's body will be removed from the Pantheon and buried beside his sons. Andre and Rene, who died in the World war. Edouard Herriot's chance of becoming the first premier in the j new parliament convening next j month was shaken today when t’.ie Socialist, parliamentary group announced the conditions under which it would collaborate with Herriot's party, the Radical-So-cialists. in the support of a Liberal cabinet. Conditions Are Announced The conditions included the fol- ' lowing: Reduction of the national defense budget by 6,000.000.000 francs <5234.000.000i; creation of a national unemployment insurance fund" a guarantee that railway passenger fares will not be increased. Socialists failed to stipulate reduction of Germany's reparations j payments, as expected because j Hcrriot is known to be the firmest i advocate for complete fulfillment of the Young plan. j The Socialist ultimatum must be ; accepted in full or rejected by the Radical-Socialists, but it would be difficult for Her riot to accept, particularly the national unemployment j insurance, which threatens a heavy burden cn the already topheavy budget. . , .. Observers believed, therefore, that a compromise premier would be chasm, such as Paul Painleve. who would be responsive to Herriots guidance.

POWERFUL OIL LOBBY ACTIVE Independents Down Strong Interests on Tariff. fl.v United l'rrn WASHINGTON, May 11—One of the most powerful lobbies in congress this session is that of the independent oil producer, who have defeated the giant Rockefeller and Mellon oil interests in the battle for an oil tariff. The independents long have wanted a tariff to protect them from cheap foreign petroleum brought in by the big companies. The tax bill passed by the house provided such an import duty, and so does the measure as laid before the senate by its finance committee. The tariff fight has been waged largely by Wirt Franklin of Oklahoma, president of the independents, and a man who knows his way around congress mighty well. Two years ago. Franklin brought a trainload of supporters here, set up elaborate headquarters, interviewed every senator, exerted pressure on the doubtful ones through political forces back home, and negotiated with other tariff-seeking groups. He was not able to put over the oil tariff that year, but he laid such a good foundation that the task was comparatively easy this year. Well, the Idea Was O. K. CHICAGO. May 11.—Mrs. Doris Mendelssohn let the young man into her apartment when he said he wanted her signature on a petition requesting more police for Chicago. Once inside, the man knocked her down, took S2O from her purse and fled.

PUSH HUNT FOR KILLER OF GAS STAND WORKER Only Meager Clews Left; Believe Slayer Used Black Sedan. A police net was spread in northern Indiana today in a search for the killer of Joseph P. O'Callahan, filling station attendant, who as shot to death early Tuesday in a robbery at Emerson avenue and Pendleton pike. Only meager clews were left by the killer after he fired two bullets into O'Callahans body, grabbed a $lO bill from the victim's hand and escaped. Saw Black Sedan One of these was the report of P. D. Lamar, 3811 College avenue, who told police he passed the filling station at about the moment O’Callahan was shot, and narrowly escaped crashing into a large black sedan as it swerved into the road from the station. Lamar said the car bore an orange colored license plate, and police believe it contained the killer. Reports that the auto may have been that of three youths and three girls who discovered the tragedy were discounted because their car bore green and white Indiana license plates. Belief that the killer fled to Ft. Wayne was bolstered by statements of O'Callahan's daughter Ethel, that her father had talked to a stranger in the station several hours before the shooting. Funeral Rites Thursday The man. who appeared from a railroad yard near the station, said he was en route for the northern Indiana city, the girl said her father was told. Funeral services will be held at 9:30 Thursday morning in the John J. Blackwell Sc Sons funeral parlors at Tenth street and Capitol avenue, at 10 in Holy Cross church. Burial will be in Holy Cross cemetery. O'Callahan is survived by the daughter and the widow, who resides in Orleans, Ind. TWO FLEE WOMAN’S PRISON: ONE CAUGHT Escaped Inmate Gets Only Ten Minutes of Freedom. One of two women who escaped Tuesday night from the Indiana woman's prison was at liberty less than ten minutes, but the other still is at large Search of a vacant house at 324 North Randolph street by police led to finding Mrs. Alma Coble, sentenced from Randolph county, hiding in a furnace. Covered with soot and ashes, she was forced to take a bath on being returned to the institution. The other prisoner is Charline Powers, sentenced from Lebanon. Instead of returning to the prison kitchen with utensils from the pantry, as they had been instructed, the women went to the boiler room and forced open a door through which they fled. A matron saw them scaling the prison fence and called police.

SCHOOL PLANS CANTBE USED No Funds Available for Irvington High. The city school board today possessed a set of plans for anew Irvington high school, but members wondered what to do with them. The plans, ordered by the previous school board in 1929, are all right, board members agreed, but they are hardly worth the 824,672 they cost, since the city has no money with which to erect the high school building. The previous school board also purchased a site for the school, near Riley and East Washington streets. Construction bids for the new Irvington high school were received by the previous school board, but they were rejected when the state tax board refused to approve a bond issue of approximately 8600.000. A resolution authorizing final payment of 83.855 to the J. M. Rotz Engineering Company for heating and ventilating plans was adopted by the board Tuesday night. The company previously had been paid 83.500. In addition to this sum. $17,317 already has been paid the McGuire Sc Shook architectural firm for the general plans. The board awarded contracts for
