DRESS OF PURE GOLD ONE
PRINCESS WEDDING GIFTS

Belgrade May 16.--A dress of
pure gold is one of the most con-
spicuous of tho wedding gifts receiv-
ed by Princess Marie, of Rumania,
who will be married here June to
King Alexander of Jugo-Slavia. The
dress was presented to her by the
peasants of the country.
King Alexander has received from
the Serbians in Macedonia, shirt of
pure silver, woven on a hand loom
from medieval design that now is
nearly extinct. Among the kings
presents to his bride to be, is mag
nifcent crown of gold, ombellished
with diamonds, rubies and ame-
thysts, each district of Jugo-Slavia
having contributed one precious
stone for the crown.

"WUSN'T THAR"

Uncle Jim Stark says that all this
talk about his going to Level Land is
null and void. He hasn't been there,
he says, since he made the conclud-
ing Grafton on the benefits of good
roads away back yonder before the
war, or thereabouts. He converted
Judge 4. F. Carwile with that
speech, and he thought when he did
that he had about done all the good
he could do in that community.
He does not deny that nephew"
was in that precinct on one occasion
last summer, and he is not sure but
that he went again. But he says he
knows the nephew didn't do
much card-playing and liquor
drinking, because he hears that
there was fried chicken galore
spread before the visitors on that
occasion and he says the nephew
wouldn't lay fried chicken down for
"no kind of drink" to say nothing
of a deck of cards; "Great Balls of
Blue Mud, No, he wouldn't" Uncle
Jim declared.
Since all the testimony has come
out about the wickedness of Level
Land it is said that several fishing
parties are being planned for that
section; in fact if Col. Pat Roche
hadn't already "set his function for
Shuckpen Eddy" he doesn't know
but that he would go to Level Land
"hisself."
We are expecting Mayor Walter
Wilson and Chief John K. Temple
down in a few days to give cor
rect inventory of what is going on in
Level Land.

Becker Is on trial. Assistant District
Attorney Cohn put in most Of the day

fact that the body found buried in a

Beeker's display OF emotion lasted
only few minutes before he regAined
his usual impassive expression, while
the Assistant District Attorney forged
chain OF evidence that Alexander

cross-examination.
During the taking OF testimony Il
developed that Becker had told three
conflicting stories az the time OF his
wife's disappearance carly in April.
Mrs. Celia Sitter, who lived on the
same floor with the Beckers at Sl9
East i50th Street, said he had told her
his wife had gone 70 a picture show
the evening OF April 6 and had never
returned.
Mrs. Rose Sccdman, Of 552 Fox
Street, a friend Of the dead woman,
testified that Becker related 90 her
that his wife had run away from him
during The night.
The third version he gave was that
Mrs. Becker had LEFT him to return 10
her family in England. according to
Mrs. Carrie Rosensweig. Of 1890 Brook
Avenue. Mrs. Roscnsweig ALSO said
that Becker had been attentive 10 her
Younger sister. Annn Elias, for three

In spite OF Palmer's protestations
that he was an innocent bystander and
