Much Gold Seen
In Ashanti Welcome
To Prince of Wales

Kumassi, Ashanti, Apr. 10-(By A.
PD-The Prince of Wales today met
the chiefs of the Ashanti at q grand
palaver. following his arrival here
this morning from Secondee. The
chiefs presented the prince with an
address of welcome and gold .du-
plicate of the Ashanti sword of state,
made by local goldsmiths.
A noted figure among the chiefs
who greeted the prince was farmer
hlng Prempeh, who was eXilcd by
the British in 1900 to Seychelles is
lands in the Indian Ocean. lie was
released last year and today was
member of the reception committee.
Prempeh was the only native on the
royal dais.
When the prince drove up to the
great semi circular gathering of the
chiefs. two of them advanced and
presented the gifts. The scene was
perfect riot of gold and brilliant
color, one chief being covered with
massive gold ornaments that hung
around his neck, wrists, ankles and
knees, while he carried huge bangles
on his arms. Even the retainers
wore fortunes in the shape of gold
slaves, while the eXecutioners each
had four large solid gold knives
Slung across their backs.

Coolidge Sees No
Claim of Govt. in
Case of Chapman

Washington, pr. 10-HaVlnS
turned over Gerald Chapman, Allan
ia penitentiary convict, to Connecti-
cut State authorities for trial on the
charge of murder, President Coo
lidge sees no reason for the federal
government to interfere with the
execution of the death sentence i'm
posed as a result of that trial.
While he has received no special
report from the department of JUS
tice as to technicalities which may
be raised as to Chapman's status,
the president is inclined to regard
the governments action surrender
ing Chapman. to the state as clos
ing the matter entirely from the
federal standpoint In view of the out
come of the trial. He assumes that
the state was empowered by the ac-
ton to prosecute Chapman on the
charge brought against him within
it's jurisdiction, and to enforce the
sentence, and as far as he has been
informed, no recent developments
indicate that any other course VIII
be pursued.

OF SHEPHERDS
EFFORTS To learn
EFFECT OF PO|S0NS

Chicago, Apr. 10-Today was a
day of i'll luck for William Darling
Shepherd. held in Jail here for the
murder of his youthful ward, Will
lam Belson McClintock. millionaire
orphan. The state supreme court
denied a motion for a writ of habeas
corpus to release Shepherd on bond,
blocking the fourth and probably
the last attempt of his attorneys to
eHect his release pending trial His
counsel announced that an immedi-
ate trial will be sought as soon as
oHlclal word was received.
A few hours before the supreme
court acted. DR.. William D. McNal-
iy, coroner's chemist, had announced
that sufticient mercury had been
found in the vital organs Of Miss
Emma Nelson McClintock, mother
of the young millionaire, to have
caused her death.
The possible implication of Shep-
herd III this death was being stud
led today by authorities, while chem
lists continued an examination of
the vital oragns of DR.. Oscar Olson.
the McClintock family physician who
died three years ago. Mrs. McClin-
took died 16 years ago, and her son
last December.
New evidence which the authori-
ties said tended to establish a con-
nection between Shepherd and the
death of Mrs. McClintock was re-
ceived during the day, when DIR.
Fosberg. the first person to disclose
that Shepherd mad made a study of
deadly drugs and poisons, appeared
at the office of Judge Harry Olson
and amended his former statements.
Shepherd. he said, had begun his in
terview with DR.. Fosberg by ask
Ing particularly about the action of
bichloride of merucry and the length
of time after death that it might
still be detected. DR.. Fosberg said
he replied that it could be detected
almost any time after death, and
Shepherd then started to inquire
about other poisons.
Commenting on the findings of the
coroner's chemist, who examined the
body of Mrs. McClintock, counsel
for Shepherd issued a statement as
serttng that no matter what was
found in the bodies of either Mrs.
McClintock or DR.. Olson there was
nothing to connect Shepherd with
the death of either. Counsel said
the findings was merely another ruse
to poison the mind of the public
against Shepherd in a contest of
the will of young McClintock in
which he left Shepherd his estate,
except for an annuity of $4,000 to
Miss Isabelle Pope. his rancee.
Judge Olson said he did not ex-
pect poison in the form of mercury
to be revealed in his brothers body.
He said that if DR.. Olson had beep
poisoned it was his belief that prus-
sic acid had been used. Chemist s
testimony will not show the pres
ence of this acid. he said. The re-
port on DR.. Olson is expected Mon
day.
Shepherds attorneys said they
would ask that the case be placed on
the trial calendar next Thursday
when Shepherd is arraigned for plea.
Robert f. Grove, states attorney,
said that his Office will take no ac-
ton concerning the deaths Of Mrs.
McClintock and DIR. Olson until the
coroner's inques is completed.

Chicago. April 10-Navy planes for
cooperation in the ninth expedition
into the Arctic zone of Donald B.
Macmillan next June. have been
completed except for the selection of
the entire personnel, according to
Eugene F. Mcdonald, Jr., of Chicago,
president of the National Association
of Broadcasters. Mr.. Mcdonald re-
turned today from Washington where
he represented Macmillan. The ex-
plorer will be here tomorrow for a
conference with Mr.. Mcdonald.
The expedition will leave Boston,
said Mr.. Mcdonald. and base at Etah
with an advance plane base at the
Northern tip of AXel Heiberg Land,
or, If the ice permits even farther to

use of which it is hoped to do in
days more than previously has been
accomplished in months of arduous
toll.
Each of three airplanes will be
equipped with map making cameras
capable of mapping $50 miles OF
shore line at width of ten miles.
Through their aid it is expected that
new lands will be put on world maps
and vast unknown areas between the
Arctic Circle and the north Pole will
be eliminated.
Radio history also will be made,
said Mr.. Mcdonald. who was posi-
tive in his assertion that radio re-
ports of the expeditions progress
would be sent back daily on wave :
length of twenty metres for general
dissemination by the United States
navy and the National Geographic
Society, under the auspices Of which
the expedition will operate.
Fabulous" sums were offered for
exclusive news from the expedition,
said Mr.. Mcdonald. but, acting for
Macmillan, he agreed with Secretary
of the Navy Wilbur and Rear Ad-
miral w. A. Moffett, chief of naval
aeronautics, that because the expe-
dition was assuming such propor-
tions it would not be fair to confine
the news to any exclusive agency. In
stead the news will be transmitted to
the navy and geographic society for
publication without charge and
without favoritism.
He also hopes to demonstrate that
the voice can be transmitted from
the frozen north, despite the "a hours
of dayligh which will prevail there at
the time, said Mr.. Mcdonald. In that

who was killed in a plunge from a

The will of her foster father. who
died two weeks ago after a 20 year
fight against tuberculosis, was filed
here today.
Available data of the estates of
wealthy children in the United
States show the Leeds heiress to be

temporaries. Gloria Caruso re-
ceived half of her fathers $4,000

phonograph royalties estimated at
S225,000 a year. Each of the chill
dren of the Senator William Clark

ry Abbott was named in the will as
guardian of the estate and Mrs. Alb
bott as the child's personal guardi-
an. Bequests totalling little more
than 100000 were made to other
heirs.
The origin Of Joy Louise IS un-
known. On the last day Of January,

Paris, Apr. 10-(By A. P.)-The
cabinet Of Edouard Herriot resigned
tonight.
Defeated twice within three days
in the senate NJ. Herriot and his
ministers quickly decided there was
no alternative but to resign. When
a vote of lack of confidence. 156 to
1877 was announced the cabinet re-
paired Immediately to the foreign
office, where the formal letter of re-
signation was drafted.
From the foreign office the defeat
ed ministers, headed by NJ. Herriot.
went to the Elysee palace, where
they arrived at 1910 Z. NJ. (4.10 z.
NJ. eastern standard time) and We're
Immediately admitted to the Office of
President Doumergue. NJ. Herriot
placed the resignation in the hands
of the chief executive, who accepted
it, and the retirement of the cabinet
thereupon became official.
AS is usual, however, NJ. Doumer-
que requested the ministers to con-
tinue TO transact the business of
their respective departments until
successors were appointed. After the
customary exchange of compliments
with the president. the ministers,
with the exception of NJ. Herriott,
departed. Nj. Herriot remained with
the president for half hour, dis
cussing the situation.
1t was said tonight that NJ. Dou-
mergue would be unable to decide
upon the man who will be offered
the premiership before Sunday. Be-
sides consulting with the party
group leaders of both houses of par
lament. he intends to discuss the
situation with various eminent poll
ticians. notably former Premier
BRAND. Louis Loucheur, former
minister of commerce, and Jules
Steeg, former minister of the interi-
or. The presidents of the senate and
the chamber of deputies also will be
consulted.
There is much speculation over
who will succeed NJ. Herriot. The
men whose names were mentioned
most prominently tonight are Paul
Painleve, president of the chamber
of deputies; Anatole De Monzie,
minister of finance in the Ferriot
government. and former Premier
BRAND. In the opinion of political
observers, NJ. Painleve woult not
survive long as premier and would
merely pave the way for return to
office of NJ. Herriot with a better Sc
lected ministry.
