The question whether the New York

Louis NJ. Isaacs. representing the com
pany, said the lease under which Band
ler's rent was fixed was made before
April !, 1920. when the rent laws went
into effect He argued that those laws
are prospective and therefore could not

rent laws after the regular session of

in the courts as not retroactive and that
the extraordinary session In September

RAILWAY MAGNATE,
DIES Of APOPLEXY

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. g.
Thomas Dewitt Cuyler, a director Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
and chairman Of the Railroad Exc
cutives association, was found dead
today in the private car of Presi-
dent Rea, of the Pennsylvania, in
Broad street station.
Mr.. Cuyler was in Rochester, yes
ter, N. Y, yesterday, and was ap-
parently in good health.
The private car arrived at Broad
Street station early today and was
placed on a sidetrack. According
to instructions a porter called Mr..
Cuyler at a. m. He received no
response and becoming alarmed
summoned an attendant and a physi
clan. The physician pronounced Mr.
Cuyler dead. Death was due to
apoplexy. He had been dead a
little more than an hour, according
to the opinion of the physician.
Mr.. Cuyler was a lawyer but most
of his time was taken up with raj.
road and financial affairs. He came
prominently before the country in
the recent railroad shop strike by
virtue of his position as chairman
Of the railway executives and took
a firm stand against some of the de-
mands of the strikers, especially
that relating to seniority.

COTTON FUTURES
WRONG, SAYS DIAL;
PROPOSES REMEDY

GREENWOOD, S. c., Nov. g.
Expressing the belief that the pres
ent sytem of dealing in cotton fu-
lures was mainly responsible for any
lack Of prosperity of southern cot
ton growers, United States Senator
Nat B. Dial, Of South Carolina, in
an address before a group of bust
ness men here, proposed that the
grades. He would give purchasers
Of futures contracts the right to Sc.
lect half of the contract in any two
grades, and the sellers half in any
two good grades, which, he said,
would protect the buyer and still
make contracts elastic enough to be
tradeable.
81 have seen prosperity in other
sections" said the senator, land I
have become convinced that the
trouble with us is our marketing
system. 1 am not fighting cotton
buyers and exchanges. but 1 mere
ly want an unfair system corrected.
The future contract market controls
the spot cotton market. The grow
er and buyer of cotton want cotton
to go up, and the man who sells it
wants it to go down. AS the future
market goes down the spot market
goes down in sympathy. Almost ten
times as much cotton is sold each
year as the country producers" He
then outlined his corrective plan.
Senator Dial also criticised the Re-
publican party. declaring that "its
schemes initiated against the pros.
perity of the south, causing us to
lose our rights and privileges on &C
count of concentration in Washing
ton" He characterized Secretary
Hoover as "the Santa Claus of the

Explained ANGLES
Of MONTANA KILLING
PUZZL|NC OFFICIALS

HAVRE, Mont, Nov. 3-(By the
Associated Press. - Unexplained
features Of the double killing Fri.
day Of the Rev. Leonard Jacob
Christler, an outstanding church
man and orator, of the state, and
Mrs. Margaret Carleton, a member
Of his congregation, still puzzles au-
thorities here today.
When a coroner's jury, Saturday
night, returned a verdict to the eff
feet that Mrs. Carleton did the
shooting while under the influence
of an overdose Of sleeping powders,
the matter appeared to be closed.
But Mrs. Cartoons mother, Mrs.
Joseph Pyle, of Butte, was not salts
fed and started a further invesiti-
cation. 1t was shown that the bull
let which killed Mrs. Carleton had
been fired downward, not upward,
as had been testified at the coroner's
inquest. The husband Of the dead
woman, former District Judge Frank
E. Carleton, issued a statement as
sorting that Mrs. Carleton had con
fessed to him her love for Rev. Mr..
.-,r.stler, and had intimated that
her love was returned. Mr.. Carie
ton condemned what he characteriz-.
ed as an attempt to whiltewash"
Mr.. Christler's character.
Ownership of the gun which was
used in the killing is another mys-
terry. Mrs. Carleton had a revolver,
a smaller weapon, which was found
later among her effects. Mrs. Pyle
also claimed that diamond rings,
Mrs. Carleton was seen wearing
Thursdnv, have not been found and
has suggested that if the rings were
taken from Mrs. Cartoons hand
after the shooting, the revolver
might have been placed in the open
palm at the same time.
The only story of the shooting
told so far was that of Mrs. Chris
tier, said to have been the only 9TH
err person in the Christler house at
TIE time. She had her back iowa d
Mr.. Christler and Mrs. Carleton
when she heard two shots, and turn
ed to see Mrs. Carleton fall, she
told the coroner's jury.
City officials and physicians who
answered Mrs. Christler's telephor
call after the shooting found the
bodies in a small hall, in which the
chief Of police testified at the in
quest, there would not have beer
room for a third person.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pyle left today for
Helena, where a second funeral serv
ice for Mrs. Carleton will be held.
One was held here yesterday. Mrs.
Pyle said before leaving that she

GRAND DUKE CYR|L'S
CLAIM To CZARDOM
STARTLES RUSSIANS

LONDON, England, Nov. g.
Something akin to CONSERVATION
has been caused in Russian mon
archist circles by Grand Duke
Cyril's recent manifesto claiming
succession to Gar Nicholas II.
and a conference will take place at
Wiesbaden to find a way out of the
difficulty caused by rival groups OF
Russians who will not admit that
the Russian revolution terminated
czardom.
The Belgrade group Of monarchists,
which considers itself most repre-.
sentative, was not warned of Grand
Duke Cyrils decision and would not
in any case have supported him
either as the guardian of the Rus
sian throne or as a candidate to it,
according to the Berlin correspond
emit of the Times. The Belgrade mon
archists' hopes are centered around
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicolaievitch,
and they have been endeavoring for
a considerable time to persuade him
to place himself at the head Of their
movement.
This group asserts that the chief
instigator of Grand Duke CyriPs I'M
expected declaration is a Colonel
Balasheff, at one time a secret
agent, and paid guard Of the Rus
sian Minister Protopoff. The mon
archists on the whole regard Colonel
Balasheff with great disfavor as he
only recently left Soviet Russia,
where he was in the service of the
Bolsheviki. On coming out of the
country he became CyriPs closest ad-
visor. Cyril's supporters maintain
that his energy, military experience,
and finally the fact that he is now
the head Of the family, are all fac
tors which render him the most suit
able candidate for the throne.
Supporters of Grand Duke Nicho-
las retort that Cyril is unpopular,
not only among the masses of Rus
STA, but also in the Romanoff fam
lily itself, while Grand Duke Nicho-
las popularity is so great that this
factor alone decides their choice.
Many monarchists seriously de-
plore the whole controversy and con-
denim the supporters of the unpopu.
lar Cyril as well as the supporters of
Nicholas. These they say, are en-.
deavoring to bring into the contest
the figure of an old soldier who has
repeatedly declared that he would
devote the remainder of his strength
to the service of the Russian peo-
pie only if he were called upon to do
so by their general vote, but that
he was loath to place himself at the
head of any movement outside Rus.

President Harding
Celebrates Birthday
Without Ostentation

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Presi-
dent Harding today celebrated the
fifty-sevanth anniversary of his
birth almost as quietly and simply
as the average American citizen OBJ
serves a birthday.
There were no indications at the
White House of anything more than
just an ordinary day m the life Of
the chief executive of:the land. The
presidents plans called for his ap-
pearance at his office at the regular
time, the usual forenoon round Of
conferences, the customary noon
day period devoted to meeting visi.
tors in the capital from the towns
and hamlets of America who consid
err the moment when they grasp the
presidents hand and hear his word
of greeting the climax of their visit;
luncheon, and then perhaps few
hours of golf over the course of a
nearby country club. Because Mrs.
Harding still is confined to her bed
although recovering from her recent
illness, there will not even be
birthday dinner party, but the presi-
dent will spend the evening with
her.
The fact that today was his birth
day, however, was not forgotten by
the close friends of the executive or
by the nation. All day long, tele-
graph wires at the White House
licked and messenger boys arrived
carrying messages of birthday
greetings, many of them from. rul-
ers and leaders of other countries.
Close acquaintances of Mr.. Hlr-
ding remarked to day on the recent
Improvement in his physical condi-
ton. A month ago the strain of
two years-for it was just two years
ago today that Mr.. Harding was
elected to the presidency-had be-
come, noticeable. A summer of con.
tinu6ds work without a vacation,
the troubled industrial situation
and, finally, Mrs. Harding's illness
had increased the strain.
Adjournment of congress, adjust
ment of the major industrial con.
troversies and the steady progress
toward recovery made by Mrs Har-
ding allowed the tension to lessen
Needing the advice of his physician
the president for a month has been
taking things easier.
The result, according to associsr es
g the president, is that President
Harding is in better physical cor6i
ton on his fifty-seventh birthday
than he has been for months,
