PARIS PAPER SUGGESTS REMOV
AL FROM VIENNA TO TOMB
OF HIS FATHER.

Paris. May 27.-Thc question of tn,
burial place of the poor little king al
Rome, son of the great Napoleon, has
been raised again in the Paris press.
This morning the Echo de Paris
prints "A letter from a correspondent IN
Vienna in the course of which he
writes:
This morning, like every French
visitor to Vienna, | thought | would
go and see the tomb of "LAiglon." It
is pitiful sight. There, amid 50
many beautiful tombs in bronze, rich
ly decorated and decked with flowers
that of Napoleon IL. was "A melancholy
spectacle. 1t is "A plain tomb, without
ornamentation, without u flower"
In comment on the subject the Echo
remarks:
us L'Aiglon' always to be i'm exile,
always a prisoner of the Austrians
His rightful place is under the dome of
the Invalides, beside the father who
cherished him so dearly. The govern
ment would do well To ask for the re-
turn of this Frenchman to France. In
Il question of this kind politics have
no place"
"L'Aiglon's" life, il will he recalled,
was "a brief one, and mostly spent in
exile. Born four years before the
downfall of his great father. he was
proclaimed king of Rome in his cradle
ON the first abduction of the emperor
he was taken to Vienna by his mother
Marie Louise of Austria, and there he
died before reaching manhood-an
eaglet that never spread its wings.

Discussing Mr.. Kelley and the gov
ernorship, the Lansing state Journa
says
The Lansing man has declared pos-
| itively in letters to friends here that
| he will not campaign for the nomina r.
| ton for governor. This decision h.
says he will stand by firmly. He is n
candidate for congressman in the
sixth district and has no desire To en-
ter the eXhausting campaign for gov
crnor.
In this Mr.. Kelly is wise As a
congressman he has made an cnviablc
record and one which will prove Of
great value To him when he comes
before the people next fall asking fo~
their support. But in such free-f for
all battle as the Republicans are pre-
pairing To stage i'm Michigan this year
his record would not prove of much
help.
"One of the many instances which
show the growing prominence of Mr.
Kelley in national politics is an ar
ticle which is appearing in THE Re-
Hector" u magazine devoted To poll
ties, over his signature. The article
deals with the return of the Republic
can party To power. In it the Michi-
that he has made a close study of the
national situation and his deductions
stand the acid test"
