Queen in Paris by Wednesday

S. S. Berengaria, Nov. % - (F) -
Queen Marie of Rumania will reach
Paris within two days but is silent
as to whether she will see her son,
the former Crown Prince Carol. She
regards this as a private family af-
fair.
After a day of anxiety owing to
the uncertainty of King Ferdinand's
condition, the radio flashed the an
nouncement thta the king was bet
ter. and as the queen entered the
concert room, the audience rose as 4
tribute of sympathy and respect.
At a charity concert held aboard
the Berengaria yesterday, Clarence
w. Barron, Boston publisher. de-
scribed Queen Marie as zone of the
greatest mothers of the world, noble
in war and noble in peace"
Advices from the Berengaria said
the queen had received a reassuring
message from the Rumanian pre-
mier. as follows: There is absolute
ly no aggravation in the kings con-
dition; on the contrary there is Wis
ible amelioration."
Certain politicians, the dispatch
says, favor turning over the consti-
tutional powers to Queen Marie who,
however, would be unable to reach
Bucharest before Thursday night at
the earliest. Other solutions discus
sed are that Prince Michael, son of
Carol and now heir apparent to the
throne, be proclaimed king under a
regency or that Princess Ileana be
called to succeed her.

bEEDY PLEADS
FOR SUPPORT GOULD
And PRES. COOLIDGE

Skowhegan. Nov. 2S.-Congressman
Carroll Beedy sroke before a large
assembly here Saturday evening, at
the close of the first picture at the
Opera House. being introduced by
Hon. Clyde H. Smit Congressman
Beedy went briefly over the campaign
of Gould and Redman for United
States senator from Maine and the
investigation and hearing pertaining
to Goulds primary campaign and
stated that Governor Brewster should
have taken his stand after the hear
ing instead of before.
He said that he helped reflect the
governor but said that he did not
believe that anyone gained anything
by dragging down another and what
is needed is men who build up but
do not tear down and added that
Governor Brewster does not need to
worry about the morals of Maine.
He said emp latically, III tell the
governor that NJ. he people are fair
and want fair play" Congressman
Beedy said that there is SO much
greed in public office that the officials
often forget to serve the public, but
1t should be as great an honor 10
serve ones country in times of peace
as in war times.
In referring to Candidate Gould,
Congressman Beedy said that when
mans nefghbors speak as well of
him as Goulds neighbors have, he
(Beedy) had faith in him and related
an incident of Gould's chauffeur who
told congressman Beedy that he had
no mother since he vas seven years
old and that Mr.. 'uld had taken
care of him and said, Il love him"
and when the campaign was over
Mr.. Gould was going to send him to
school.
Congressman Beedy urged the vot-
ers to give their endorsement to
President Coolidges administration
by voting for Gould Monday. He
mentioned the I Republicans and AZ
Democratic senators and the great
Importance of sending a Republican
senator from Maine, that by so do
ing the organization % congress may
be Republican. He asked the people
assembled if anytime had developed
during the campaign to make them
lose faith in the Republican party and
President Coolidge and if not to ote
for the Republican candidate Mon
day.

Dry League Head
Approves Plan for
Whiskey Corporation

Washington, Nov. 2S.-(P)-Pur-
chase and distribution of medicinal
whisky by a private corporation, as
proposed by the treasury department
in it's last recommendation on the sub
ject, was approved today by Wayne
B. Wheeler OF the Anti-Saloon League.
In statement announcing a meet
ing of the legislative committee of the
league this week to consider such pro-
posals, wheeler declared he knew of
no opposition to the departments pro-
posal, provided the activities of the
private corporation were conducted un-
der existing regulations.
There was opposition to the orig
inal plan for government ownership
and distribution" he explained. 1.-THE
secretary of the treasury never en-
dorsed this plan. If the last bill pro-
posed includes the authority needed to
limit the distilleries that may open
this will go far to settle the question
as to whether it is best to buy liquors
abroad or manufacture them in the
United States. 1t is an added reason
for early action on the bill which GEN
eral Andrews requested"
Automobile statesmen and manufac-
turers are unduly disturbed, Wheeler
said, over the recent decision of the
supreme court authorizing the forfeit
ure of automobiles under the old in
ternal revenue laws when seized for
rum running. Their fear that automo-
biles innocently sold on the Install
ment plan would be a total loss when
so seized were not we'll founded, he
said. They have two remedies. he ex-
planned.
BY requiring bond of the purchaser
that the automobile will not be used
for Illegal purposes or by recourse to
the method now provided by law for
the innocent owners when the automo-
biles are seized under section $3.50 of
the revised statutes.
In discussing the elections in On
tario, Canada, tomorrow, Wheeler
stated:
1.-THE liquor election in Ontario to-
morrow represents a strategy in de-
cided contrast to the wet program in
the United States. In two referenda
elections in Ontario the vets lost. Now
they raise the issue through the cleo
ton of provincial officials. In the
United States the vets insist that the
referendum is the only way to settle
this question"
