ROUNANIA MAY

Queen, Highly Popular With
the People, Exerts Pow
erful Influence.

(Continueo from previous page)
RCumanian arts and crafts Often she
dressed in the gorgeous Byzantine cos
tune of the olden days and the Rou-
manians had many welcome oppOrtuni
ties to cheer her appearance in their
national dress. In her mountain home
she sometimes wore ordinary peasant
dress and she had a whole room fur
nished with native pine wood, inlaid
with thin strips of silver, the handi-
work of the Roumanian craftsmen.
She is a Protestant; her husband
is a Catholic; but the children have
been brought up in the orthodox Greek
faith, the national church of ROuma-
mia, as of Russia. This is a further
tie binding her to the car.
There is only one person more popu-
lar in ROumania than the queen and
that is the new crown prince Carol.
He is a fine cavalry officer, handsome
and dashing. Moreover, he is a stu
dent of the University of Bucharest
and a favOrite of his fellows there
He speaks ROumanian without a trace
OF an accent, an accomplishment neith-
er his parents nor his dead grand
uncle, the late king Charles, could
boast. His sgmpathies are strongly
with the allies and it is expected that
his wife and the future queen of Rou-
mania, will be Olga, the second daugh-
ter of the car.
Cabinet With Queen.
In throwing her great influence to
the allies the queen is taking the side
of the very stroAg cabinet. which cas-
ily thWaTted king CharleS's desire to
go to the assistance Of the kaiser.
Opposing her there is a very small
! German party here, composed of army
officers and politicians educated in
Germany The cabinet is probably wait
inc because
will later be a more propitious mo-
ment to enter the struggle.
The aristocracy, the bulk Of army
officers and the well-to-dO class are
intensely interested in the success Of
France. They regard Frenchmen as
the closest kindred of ROumanians the
latter maintaining they are the de-
scendants of the Roman Danube col
1 onv. as the French are largely drawn
| from the Roman settlers of Gaul
The peasantry are quite as strongly
I preiudiced on the side of Russia, for
with them the likeness in religion is
stronger than the relationship OF
/ blood.
: The Roumanians will go to war. like
( italy, to redeem" their oppressed
! cOuntrymen. There are three million
Roumanians in the Austrian province
. Of Transatlantic and the crown land
. of the BukoWina, both adjoining Rou-
mania. These Austrian Roumanians
/ are said to be very badly treated. Rus
/ sin has now conquered Bakowina, but
primises to turn it over to Roumania
( in exchange for services in crushing
| the dual monarchy
] The principal restraining influence
is the surety that Bulgaria would at
! tack its rival to the north from the
/ rear the moment the ROumanian
| troops cross into Austria Hungary.
| The Bulgarians will never forget how
| RCumania modified and seized $500
| square miles of Bulgaria Just at the
moment when Bulgaria had her hands
/ full with Greece, Servia and Monte
negro in the second Balkan war last
year.

WORLDS BIGGEST
BOAT IS LAUNCHED
WHITE LINER BRiTANNlc, sue.
cEssoR TO TlTANTic LAST
WORD IN OCEAN SAFETY.
(BN Associated Press.)

Belfast, Ireland. Feb. 26.-The
worlds biggest ocean liner was launch
ed here today. 1t Is the White Star
liner Britannia, nine hundred feet long
and capable of carrying load Of fifty
thousand tons.
1t is believed the launching of the
Britannia marks an important devel-
opment in constitutional safety. 1t
had just been laid down when the Ill
fated Titantic met its disaster. and the
lessons learned about the weak points
in that boat have been put into practi-
cal demonstration in the new vessel.
The Britannia is owned by the same
company as the Titantic, and is regard
ed in some ways as the successor of
the sunken ship. 1t has, however,
many strong safety appliances that
were not used in the Titantic.

Vardaman Pushes Fight on
Appointment Negro Judge

Il do not think it is a good thing
for the negro or for the white man for
negroes to hold offices of such impor-
tance as this. The question involved
is above party politics. 1t is more i'm
portant than all econmic problems
that have confronted the country"
Senator Vardaman said he thought
he would have support in the Senate
in this fight. Il shall have the support
of every white man in the Senate" he
added.
The subcommittee of the Senate
judiciary committee, to which the nom
ination of Terrell has been referred,
is composed of Senators Shields of
Tennessee and Fletcher of Florida,
Democrats. and Senator Root of New
York, Republican. The committee
has not yet given consideration to the
nomination.

said Senator Vardaman, ION the
ground of race, supplemented by the
fact that do not think that any par
ticular consideration should be accord
ed him because he is a negro. He
has been a Republican in the past, l
understand. and the president has Sc
lected him for appointment because he
is a negro.

Santa Monica, Feb. 26.-Sixteen Of
the fastest automobiles in the world
lined up at ten o'clock today for the
start of the great Vanderbilt Cup race.
This years contest will cover two hun

While the stability and general ex.
cellence of the car is a strong point
it is generally conceded the most i'm.

the coolest head, generally wins. and

this morning declaring it to be the
sense of the legislature that no bond

tee, branded the resolution as ridic-
ulous, pointing out that appropriations
padc by the legislature already ex-
ceed the prospective revenues.
After lively debate the resolution
was ruled out of order because it had
been improperly drawn.
Later Mr.. Everett reintroduced his
resolution in perfected form, and the
o bond issue advocates won the first
test, the resolution being voted down,
81 to 4S.

MACHINERY FOR
Digging OIL WELL
HAS BEEN SHIPPED
}. W. CHAMPION, CONTRACTOR,
RECEIVES BILL OF LADINc
FOR 10000 POUNDS.
PLANT ENTIRELY COMPLETE
Nothing Omitted For Successfully
Prosecuting Entcrprise-Car May
Arrive Any Day-BeIieved Work
Will start Within Three Weeks.

The most definite assurance yet re-
ceived that an oil and gas well will
positively be dug at Oloh by the Mis-
sissippi Oil and Gas company, was
received today in the form of bill
of lading from Shreveport, La, show
ing that the machinery for digging the
well was shipped from that place Feb.
20.
The bill of lading was received by
]. w. Champion, who has been select
ed as contractor and driller of the
well. The delay in it's receipt was
caused by the letter having been sent
to Mr.. Champions office at Rushton,
La, from which place it was forward
ed to him here.
The car contains a load of 10000
pounds, and Mr.. Champion said today
that every particle of machinery
necessary for successfully digging the
well has been included. The car is
billed for Epley, Miss, whence it Is
to be carried to Oloh on a tram road.
An effort is being made, however,
| to locate the car and have the destina-
tion changed to Hattiesburg. The
company wants to do this so as to
give the people of Hattiesburg an op-
portunity to personally investigate the
/ engine, drillers and other appliances
and be convinced there is no doubt
about the we'll being dug.
| Efforts to locate the car today, how
ever were unavailing. 1t left Shreve-
port six days ago and unless it has
| been unnecessarily delayed en- route,
it ought to be in the vicinity of Hat
tiesburg.
Mr.. Champion said about ten days
will be required for setting up the
apparatus after it reaches Oloh. AL
lowing for all the delay possible in
transit to Oloh, in setting up the plant
and all unexpected hindrances, there
is no reason why the hole should moi
be started within the next three
weeks.
1t is not expected oil will be struck
above $500 feet According to Mr.
Champion. however. the plant is capa
BILE of drilling nearly 1000 feet, and
he believes it certain that oil will be
struck before that depth is reached.
Mr.. Champion is fresh from the
Shreveport oil fields, and before the
precious liquid was discovered in that
section. had considerable experience
in the oil fields of Denison and othel
points in Texas. He stated today he
is convinced beyond doubt there IL
oil at Oloh, and all haste is being made
to dig for It.
