QUEEN MOTHERS
DEATH MOURNED
over BRITAIN
Alexandra Funeral Date
To Be in About Two
!. Weeks; Body to Lie
{ In State at Windsor
(By The Associated Press.)

LONDON. Nov. 21.-The British EN-
pire is in mourning over the passing
of the beloved Dowager Queen Alex
andra. Flags flew at half mast in Lon
don today and many buildings were
draped in black
Death came to the Danish princess
late yesterday in Sandringham palace,
while her son, King George, and Queen
Mary and various members of the roy.
al household stood with tear bedimmed
eyes at the bedside. The Prince OF
Wales, always her favorite grandson
was delayed by heavy fog as he trav-
eled from London to Sandringham, and
did not reach the palace in time to bid
his grandmother FAREWELL
Listeners-in throughout the British
Isles heard over their radio that the
widow of King Edward VII, and the
mother of their present monarch had
gone to her last rest. In London from
to o'clock the big bell in St. Pauls
tolled out sonorously the tale of the
passing of member Of Great Britain's
royal family. 1t is only when mem
Der of royalty dies that the clang of
the bell in St. Pauls awakens the
sleeping DeIry.
No date has yet been announced for
the funeral of Alexandra nor when her
body will be taken to Windsor to lie in
the royal vault in st. Georges chapel
beside that of Edward VII. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that the funeral will
not be held for two weeks.
Arrangements have been made for
signing the Locarno treaties in London
December /. If the queens death caus-
es any alteration in the date for sign
ing the pacts. many foreign countries
must be consulted. 1t is already taken
for granted however, that if the date
is not changed the proposed banquet Of
King George to the signatories will be
cancelled, all the more so as December
n comedies with the anniversary OF
Alexandra's birth.
The newspapers today came out in
deep mourning for the Danish princess
who arrived in England in 1863 to be-
come the bride of the Prince of Wales.
An indication of the popular affec-
tion existing for Alexandra is the fact
that the laborite organization, the Her
aid which usually ignores royal hap
penings or prints an inch concerning
them when other newspapers print a
column, today devotes two columns to
the death of Queen Mother Alexandra
ande also cordial tribute headed "A
woman with kind heart. ="

collation. of contracts let by Governor
Miriam A. Ferguson's highway COM
mission, and for restitution to the state
OF S600,000 alleged excess profits.
The district court order also cancels
the company's permit to do business IN
Texas and requires it to pay the costs
Of the suit.
Counsel for the road company appear
ed in open court and confessed Judg-
ment on all the essential allegations in
the attorney generals suit. Joe Wor-
sham, road. company counsel, recon-
mended TO the court that order be en-
,ered accordingly, bat at the same time
reiterated his clients sincerity.
Judge George Calhoun, in delivering
the order, said the evidence presented
apparently made the agreed settlement
a just one.
Any criminal action that may grow
out Of the suit will rest entirely with
the grand jury, the attorney general
said last night.
Governor Miriam A. Ferguson, pitted
with the highway commission against
Attorney General Moody in an unsuc-
cessful Intervention attempt seeking
dismissal Of the action, was silent last
night regarding the outcome of the suit
Neither was comment available from

immediate comment, he said. He in
dicated that no statement would be

sion until the courts official order had
been examined by the governor.
The $600,000 recovered by the state
represents approximately two-thirds Of
total profits Of the company on its sur
facing of APT miles of state highways.
In the restitution the total will include
$314,500 approved estimates held by the
road company and thus will ieave less
than 100000 actual cash Que the state
Attorney General Moody declared that
the recovered amount will be enough to
give the roads figuring in the disputed
contracts second treatment. 1t was
the road company's contention that il
considered the 100000 a fair price fo1
which to give the roads second treat
ment, if that proved necessary.
From San Antonio came reports that
United States District Attorney John d
Hartman was taking cognizance Of al
legations made during the hearing that
federal aid funds had been mixed with
state road funds and that the former
showed considerable discrepancy be-
tween the amount paid out from Wash

state treasury.
Mr.. Hartman intimated that the fed
