SON OF HEAVEN PREPARES FOR ENTHRONEMENT Pu Yi Will Become Imperial Ruler of 30,000.000 in Manchoukuo. 'Copyright. 1934. tv Unfed Pres.l HSINKING, Manchuria, March 1. 'Thursday)—Henry Pu Yi, “The True Son of Heaven’’ whom man and destiny have moved on and off imperial thrones since he was a whimpering infant, was to be enthroned today as first emperor of the Japanese-protected state of Manchoukuo. In Shuntien 'Light, of Heaven) square stood a glittering altar at which the slender, bespectacled young prince, now 29. was to touch •he sacred ancestral seal and swear to Shane-Ti, the supreme being, to uphold and defend the well-being of a nation of 30.000.OfK) souls—a state carved from the vast empire he twice headed. Reed-like in the trim uniform of a field marshal, the young prince j emerged temporarily from his precoronation seclusion to receive the i representatives of the press of tne world. Effect of Fast Show For four measured minutes the' correspondents stood close by the j august presence of the “child of destiny” and heard his message. The effects of his three days’ fast showed in his pale ascetic face as j he expressed his appreciation of the j “interest” the world has shown in j his enthronement. Hsinking, usually the quietest of I capitals, throbbed with the excitement of the impending coronation. ! Thousands of persons—the fighting men of Manchu. Mongolians, White j Russians and other nationalities — ' jammed the dusty streets and filled every building to overflowing. Temperatures of 17 degrees below zero did not dampen their enthusi- | asm nor did the presence of Japanese and Manchoukuo soldiers.

Dressed for Ceremony Meticulously an old servitor dressed the dall, slender youth in a jet black fox fur robe girdled by an elaborate yellow silk ash embossed with the new imperial orchid crest, the kingdom's chosen flower. ' His head dress was the same worn by his imperial ancestors —of dark cloth set off with fifteen priceless pearls. Thus clad and escorted by court dienitaries. Pti Yi. regent of Manchoutsuo, was to to leave his residence and start, in solemn march, to the altar of heaven. There, under the guidance of the all suprenje, Shang-Ti, "by whose grace kings reign and princes decree justice,” the young ruler was to receive the imperial seal from the hands of a specially selected functionary. When he touched the seal, carved of the finest jade, he was to cast off his regency and become head of the new dynasty. Only officials invited by the regent or approved by him were permitted to attend the first ceremoney of ascension. Shuntien square was enclosed by yellow curtains. The enthronement hall had a golden ceiling and a red carpet was on the floor. At the right of the altar of heaven was a small restroom, where the regent was to be seated awaiting the ceremony. Kow Tow Banned Officials, priests and other functionaries were to approach him in the restroom after a brief pause. They were ordered by the prince not to kow tow by touching the floor with their foreheads as in bygone centuries. Instead they were to bow respectfully as one of their number handed him a petition representing their own wish that he accept petitions of the people and perform the rites that would make him their emperor. Pu Yi was then to arise and be escorted by officials to the altar erected to Shang-Ti. While all face the south, the regent will cast incense into a nearby vessel and step to the small altar. There he will pay homage to the supreme being and call upon him to witness the ascension. He then will offer a prayer for his people and his country.

A suit contesting legality of state employes holding more than one public office was filed in circuit court yesterday by Herman L. Seeger of Indianapolis, against Albert F. WaLsman, state tax commissioner, and Floyd E. Williamson, state | auditor. This is the third of a series of j suits against state employes. Two j previous complaints named M. Clif- j ford Townsend, Lieutenant-Gover- j nor. and John Bright Webb, joint j senator from Johnson and Marion counties. Mr. WaLsman, the present suit alleges, was named a member of the state tax board by Governor Paul V. McNutt after the legislature had adjourned last year. Mr. Walsman was a member of the house of representatives. Mr. Seeger, on behalf of Indiana taxpayers, demanded that the court order Mr. Walsman to return to the state his $3,500 yearly salary as member of the tax board. The suit also asked the court to enjoin Mr. Williamson from paying the repre- j sentatives his salary as a member of the board. The suit contends that because Mr. Walsman is a member of the general assembly, his appointment to the tax board was illegal.
