United States Senator Wesley l..
Jones did not want an investigation
of Washington politics, believing
that little is accomplished by such
:; inquiries, he testified today at the
hearing on Washington senatorial
campaign expenditures.
Jones denied under oath that he

money from "wet' forces. He de-
clared he never accused Bullitt of
spending 100000 in his campaign.

BUCHAREST, Oct. 26. - Queen
Marie Of Roumania, who has bcgal
her tour Of the United States aud
part of Canada. has been advised
by King Ferdinand TO cartail lcr
trip.
Confirmation of the monarch s
message to his wife was given the
United Press yesterday. An offic-
ial communiquc explained that in
ccssant rains in the United States
ever since the royal party landed
in New York aboard the Leviathan
one week ago had given the queen
case of grippe and that she was
still i'll.

The capitals of two continents to
d"V awaited the action of Queen
Marie Of Roumania with respect to
the announcement in Bucharest that
X ing Ferdinand had ordered her TO
curtai! her American visit.
What Interested diplomats AMI
humber folks aliks was this:
"Who wears the royal Roumanlan
trousers -
If the figurativc garment be
longcd to Marie, it would be pre-
snmed that she would fulfill her
American itinerary; if to King Fcrd-
inand, then Marie : stay here would
be curtailed.
Censorship in Roumania today ap-
parcntly was interesting with the
dispatch or news messages from
Bucharest TO the outside world. On
Saturday night two United Press
queries to Bucharest seeking intor-
nation regarding the statement that
Ferdinand had ordered Marie home
were confiscated by the Roumanian
authorities.
From Washington today came the
news that Il source of information
close to the Roumanian legation IN
timatcd that Maric's tour might be
modified or come to premature end
unless her health improved.
II was said. however, that Marie
might 'lose fac"'' in q political
sense if she returned home 1T ferd-
inamd's behest.
Members of the royal party
aboard the train which was to take
Marie and her children into Canada
today were vehement in denying
that Ferdinand had summoned the
Queen to return.
A special correspondent on the
continent cabled his paper that he
had no knowledge of such COM
muniouc. but inclined to think that
some such thing is to be expected.
Meantime, all was not we'll aboard
the royal train, where there was
trouble with respect to the high
command of the rolling palace. Con-
ditions aboard the train were such
that interesting developments were
likely unless the friction were re
moved.

Wandering Elephant
Captured in Kansas
After 4 Days Liberty

Ottawa, Kansas. Dec. 14-(P)-Af-
ter roaming through four counties in
southeastern Kansas for three days,
Diamond, circus elephant, wa~ ZAP
tured by his trainer late today IS
miles southeast of Garnett.
The trainer and assistants, with
horses from the winter quarters of a
circus at Quenemo. from which the
pachyderm escaped last Saturday,
overlook Diamond and subdued him
without great difficulty.
Diamond recognized the horses and
permitted them to approach. Then
ropes were fastened about the four
ton beast and he was tied to a tree.
A blazing fire was built near Dia-
mond to thaw him out and the circus
men hoped the warmth would save
him from threatened pneumonia.
In his self conducted winter ex-
petition over the countryside, the
elephant smashed fences and out
buildings and stepped on a pig. Ap-
pearing in a schoolyard Monday at
Garnet he terrorized school children
before being driven away.
The trail of property damage, how
ever was not great and Diamond in
Jured none of the hundreds of farm
ers who chased him, firing with
shotguns and small calibre rifles. The
bullets made little impression on
Diamonds hide.
