Aged Sister of England's
DOwager Queen Grieving

Copenhagen, Nov. 81 P -- The
Danish court today went into mourn
ing for Dowager Queen Alexandra
Of Great Britain who before her
marriage to the late King Edward
was a Danish princess. The mourn
ing period will last for three weeks.
The aged and feeble former Dow
ager Empress of Russia, who was
Alexandra's favorite sister, this
morning declared her intention Of
going to England for the funeral. It
is understood, however, that King
Christian persuaded the grief-strick-
en- old lady TO abandon the plan,
which might prove too great strain
although her health is better than
for a long time.
The American minister and other
foreign diplomats today left cards of
coincidence with the king and dow
ager queen Of Denmark, the former
czarina and Prince Valdemar.

PAINLEVE AGAIN
SURVIVES CRISIS
Deputies Continue to Study
Finance Problems -.

Paris, Nov. 81 R>-The chamber
OF deputies sat unintcrruptedly from
10 o'clock last night until 1850
o'clock this morning dealing with
the program Premier Painleve has
formulated to rehabilitate the finan-
cial status OF France.
The net result achieved aside
from a precarious repairing OF the
political fences OF the left groups
and flow OF oratory, was the yot-
ing OF article one Of NJ PainleVc's
plan. This article deals with the
creation Of national amortization
fund OF the public debt, and so many
amendments and counter proposals
we're advanced from all sides of the
house that 1t was 1915 o'clock when
counter proposal was finally
passed after nine hours of discus
sion.
NJ. Painleye's bill comprises q
articles. and II one-half the time Is
spent on each that was spent on
number one there is little likelihood
that the bill will be ready TO 60 be-
fore the senate in time to be passed
December s. The chamber will meet
again this afternoon.
The extreme fragility of the coali-
ton on which the government de-
ponds for Its means OF existence
once more was demonstrated last
night. When at o'clock last night
NJ. Blum, socialist, demanded a
pledge from the government that
there should be no more imitation,
but forced consolidation Of the ma
tional defense bonds and got an EN-
phatic refusal, everyone thought the
coalition was split for good and that
the government was doomed.
However. by 10 o'clock in the eve
ming all was mended again, as the
situation had been mended several
times before. but this time the crack
remained apparent to all. The sum
total Of NJ. Blum's outburst was to,
afford NJ. Painleve an opportunity to
appear to an advantage. which he
could have dispensed with and waste
time which he could III afford TO
spare, for every day spent in de.
bate brings him nearer December s.
the day on which 2.500. 100000 franc
short term bonds will have TO be
met. The bill Of the premier pro,
vides for their consolidation. but
unless tits passed, there will be all
solutely no alternative but to print
more notes.

GOTHAM
WATCHES BUCKNER
Dry Thanksgiving Is His Pre-
diCtion--Wheeler Indignant

New York, Nov. Fl Pl-Parched
today in learning President Coo
lidge's views on the methods Of
Emory r. Buckner, federal district
attorney. In making the city arid.
The interest was increased because
Mr.. Buckner's policy threatens a
dry Thanksgiving and a dry Army
Navy football game.
Wants All Punished
The President let 1t be known
yesterday that he thinks all VIOLA
lions of the prohibition law. no
matter how slight, should be prose-
Cuted. His conviction is qualified
by the opinion that stress should
be placed upon cases where con-
yictions would close up large
sources of liquor supplies.
Mr.. Buckner, padlocker eXtraor-
binary thinks that the federal ma
chinery is utterly inadequate to
cope with small cases and that un-
der existing conditions padlocks
arc especially effective. He had
padlocked some five hundred
places. including scores Of fash
ionable clubs with exclusive Glen
teles since he left Elihu Roots law
firm to take office.
Wheeler Is Indignant
His policy of disregardng petty
violations stirred up Wayne B.
Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-sa
loon league, who complained to
President Coolidge about 1t.
Mr.. Wheeler thinks a policy Of
! ignoring petty violations is an open
invitation to disregard of the law.
Some of today's New York pa
pers interpret the Presidents views
as ndorsing Mr.. Buckner's policy
Mr.. Buckner yesterday obtained
paddock agreement with IS more
of New York's wet spots, mostly
Broadway cabarcts. The lights
were dimmed in the grill and bar
room of the Elks' club, a few days
ago.
Having invited Mr.. Wheeler to
New York to investigate conditions
for himself, Mr.. Buckner says: Il
am much too busy enforcing pro-
hibition to devote further energy
TO correspondence with Mr..
Wheeler"
Replies to President
AS to President Coolidge's views,
Mr.. Buckner said: Give me
enough Judges and l will prosecute
every violator in New York"
When yesterdays padIocks were
snapped the district attorney said;
THE most dramatic proof of the
efficacy of the paddock as against
wasting time arresting and timing
walters, is to be found in the fact
that the rroprietors and attorneys
OF the places which have surren-
dered were almost fearful In their
Representations as to the stagger-
ling financial losses they would sus-
tain. That is much better than to
attempt to collect small fines from
a vast horde of walters who might
be arrested for selling the liquor
