GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS
is CLOSELY GUARDED
Pretender to Russian Throne Gets
Note Telling of Wreck of
His Automobile.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, April - Grand Duke
Nicholas Of Russia, who with Grand
Duke Cyril is claiming the throne of
Russia, is being more closely guarded
than ever by secret service men as q
consequence of the receipt OF Ia
comic message telling of the overturn-
ing Of his automobile on the Paris
Bonneuil road tonight. The duke
was not in the automobile, but three
passengers, as yet not identified, were
injured. The pretender is taking no
chances. Detectives constantly are
watching him and his aides, while in
another section of Paris the police are
shadowing Russians known to harbor
hatred against members of the for
mer Russian nobility, particularly
against the late Cars encourage.
The grand duke is to open the con-
gress of Russian emigres here tomor.

The automobile was overturned

HEARING WEDNESDAY
ON DOUBLE -DECKERS
Large Crowd of Spectators Likely
in View of Great Interest
in Bus Question.

The doubled deck bus question, which
has lowered like a nightmare before
the Public Utilities Commission ever
since it rejected the original request
of the Washington Rapid Transit
Company for permission to add six
more busses of the two-deck type to
it's service, will be decided at a pub
lie hearing in the board room of the
District Building, Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock.
The hearing has been called because
Of the reapplication of the company
for authority to buy the additional
double-deckers, which was accom-
panied by the results Of a ballot taken
among the bus riders which showed
an overwhelming sentiment in favor
of the so-called rubber neck" busses.
The commission also has before 1t the
report Of it's experts showing that a
reduction in bus fare will not be pos
sible unless more of the two-story
busses are put into service.
The chief complaint against the
two-deck busses is that the peppers
who ride on top of them remove all
vestige, of privacy from homes along
the route. The superintendent OF
trees and parkings of the District
Clifford Lanham, also had advised the
commission that the use of double
deckers will require considerable trim
ming of the shade trees along the
various routes.
The hearing on the double-deckers
is expected to attract a large crowd o1
spectators and witnesses, in view o1
the interest that has been aroused In
the question:

PILGRIMS FLOCK|NG
TO VIEW MIRACLE
italian Girl in Comatose
State, With Hair Pulled Out
and Forming Halo.
By Gable to Tn. star and New York World

By Cable 10 The Star and New York World
NAPLES, April 3.-ThousandS of
Catholics in southern Italy are deeply
moved on the eve of Easter. by what
they regard as the fourth successive
holy week miracle at Montalto, a
small town near here.
Elena Ajello. daughter of the local
tailor, on good Friday. fell into a
comatose state. Immediately there
after her forehead was covered by
bloody sweat and stigmata appeared
on her hands and feet. 1t appeared
as if an invisible hand had torn out
her hair by the roots and it lay
around her head in the form Of a
halo.
Pilgrims Kept Back.
The girl, thin as a skeleton. lies in
her bed in her fathers squalid home
whilst pious pilgrims fight to enter
and see the miracle. Guards are fixed
in the sun flooded piazza to protect
the house from the zealots and the
pilgrims kneel for hours praying for
a revelation of the miracle. Blind,
lame and other sufferers, are being
brought to the house while the girl
lies unconscious and moaning.
Prelates, az well as medical men,
admit the case is extremely rare, but
scoff at the superhuman element as
cribed to it by the devotees. The girl
is an adorant of St. Rita. and ascribed
to her several remarkable recoveries
from previous illnesses.
Jaws Locked Every Friday.
1t is said that every Friday in Lent
the girls jaws have become locked,
with loss of temperature and the ap-
pearance of the bloody sweat on her
forehead. The sweat was never so
pronounced as 1t was on Good Friday.
Physicians ascribe the girls condition
to religious exaltation. It has been
noticed that her condition is .aggra-
waited when the statue of st. Rita is
taken into her presence.
Called sanity nun, the girl re-
Gently took vows, but was sent home
from a convent by the mother

EY ROBERT r. SMALL.

The polcewomen OF the District OF
Columbia want it understood far and
wide that they are not a part or a
parcel of the movement to bring
blue laws" to the National Capital.
They do not want to close the movies
and the legitimate theaters on sun
day. They have no desire to keep
the base ball boys. professional or
otherwise, off the diamond on the
Sabbath.
The police ladies' feel that the
thoughtless coupling of them with re-
form mea sures is hurting their
chances of getting through Congress a
bill which would give them far greater
authority than they have at present
and fix them as permanent and
more or less independent police lnsti-
tuition in Washington.
1t so happens that the blue law
bills have been introduced in Congress
at about the same time that the police
women had their bill introduced.
Therefore the. two moves have become
associated in many minds. Especially
has this been true since the police
women have asked for more than a
200 per cent increase in their per-
sonnel.
But 1t is stated now in behalf Of the
head of the women's bureau that the
women police are not interested in the
enactment of new laws. Their sole
desire is to enforce existing laws with
as much consideration as possible 10
feminine and juvenile offenders.
Preventive Work Their Aim.
Their desire. furthermore, is to do
| preventive protective" work. They
like to dwell upon this feature most
of all. They believe, with Sir Robert
Peacock of Manchester, England, one
of the worlds great police experts,
that the purpose of the police Is tne
nreyention. rather than the detection
of crime after it has been committed.
The International Association ol
Policewomen has its headquarters
here in the Capital and is doing every
thing in it's power to further the
woman in police work. At the present
time policewomen are employed as
mart of the official police staff in 145

Croquet Becoming Popular.
Another outdoor sport which is in.
creasing in popularity is croquet
There are eight courts for this at

peared almost entirely when the
field in West Potomac Park was

However, the Army Polo Association
took it UP after the war. Even last
year there was Il great Increase in
the interest in this sport, with the
result that games are played regular
ly every Wednesday and Saturday
afternoon. and they draw such crowds
that parking space around the field
and in its vicinity IS at a premium.

the northern end of the park. This
year nine new stone ovens have been
erected for the use of picnickers, so
they may cook what food they want.
In these groves have been placed ! 5
new rustic tables and 60 benches, in
addition to the facilities already there.
In addition to all these there are
bowling greens, but these are little
used now.
All of the sport fields are crowded
