Director Eldridge has been at,

A fine of 50 Is imposed on a viola

ranges from SO to SIS. Results of
the heavier fine in Cleveland are
shown in the recorded reduction in
violations. Heavier fines and Inn

other cities by the Director where
the violations were of more seri-
Gus nature.

Nomadic Rites Attend Burial
of Tordana, Ruler OF
Mitchell Tribe

Fires will burn DULY in camps
scattered all over the United States
for one year dating from today, in
memory of Queen Yordana. of the
Mitchell gypsy tribe. who died a
week ago at Tampa, Fla. No quaint
gypsy chants, no swish of brilliant
skirts or flash of dancing feet will
liven up the evening camps of the
tribe, until one year has elapsed, a
year consigned to mourning for the
passing of a beloved ruler.
Then at the end of the twelve
months a new queen will be chosen,
feasts celebrated, and the nomadic
gayeties Of the tribe resumed as be-
fore. The new queen, and who she
will be no one knows yet, will be
chosen by an election by the 1900
members of the tribe, conducted by
Louis, reigning king.
A colorful contingent of the tribe,
ruled by King Louis and Queen
Yordana, assembled today to attend
the last rites for the queen at the
Saffell mortuary, 1913 Fifth street
northwest where Yordana's body
lay in kypsy splendor. More than
fifty gypsies, men and women,
were gathered in the orom with
the royal coffin. A weird chant of
mourning arose as Father A. Azure

The Washington club is looking

While the manner in which the

to undue optimism, Administration

today that the negotiations will be
resumed before the expiration of

loans to France, which she now
needs so badly to consolidate her

of the chaos into which an un-
balanced budget and ragged
taxation system has brought her
national finances.
Law May Be Needed
While there is no law under
Wall Street from floating interna-

frown mas usually operated to stop
such ventures in the past, and un-
doubtedly will do so in the future.

temper Of Congress is such that

session to do just this irrespective
Of administration encouragement.
The belief prevliled In Washing.
