Bucharest, Rumanla, Dec. o.
R)-Home from her turbulent, and
perhaps triumphant tour of Amerl-
ca, Queen Marie spent Sunday IN
the palace with her ailing spouse
and sovereign, King Ferdinand. AL
though the kings affection was not
severe enough to keep him from
meeting his family at the station on
their arrival yesterday, we'll wlshers
found little to re-assure them IN the
bulletin issued by Professor Henri
Hartmann, French specialist, ana
DR., Regaud, noted adio-therapeut-
list. who have just been called in
for consultation. The bulletin reads:
1.-THE results of the first consulta-
tions of Drs. Hartmann and Regaud
show that the recto sigmoidal affec-
ton from which the king is suffer-
ing presents no modification. The
general condition, appetite and sleep
are satisfactory"
The arrival of Queen Marie, Prin-
cess Ileana and Prince Nicolas at
Bucharest lacked the punctual dig
nifty which it is customary to expect
at royal functions. The entire dip
lomatic corps, state officials, prelates
and native aristocracy, arrayed for
the occasion. reached the station at
10 O'Clock in the morning to await
the train which was due at IL.
Shortly before noon they were In
formed that the train would not ar
rive until 2 in the afternoon.
The red carpets were rolled up,
and with the flowers were carefully
put aside in the waiting room. Ev-
eryone Withdrew for lunch.
When the welcoming groups came
back at . o'clock they learned that
the train had pulled in at / and
that the queen had proceeded to the
palace with the king: some one had
had the presence of mind to order
the train to wait in the yard for ~
minutes until Ferdinand could be
hurried to the station.
The king and queen warmly en-
braced and both wept, as did others,
affected by the sight of their re-
union.

SENATOR-ELECT
GOULD UNW0RR|ED
over BEING SEATED

washington, Dec. 4-Senator- elect
Arthur r. Gould of Maine arrived
here today ready to be sworn in
when the Senate conyenes at noon
on Monday Regarding any objection
to his seating which may be raised
by Democratic senators Mr.. Gould
said today that his mind was easy.
Il know I am right and I am not
troubled by any misgivings as to the
future" he said.
AS to his legislative policies Mr..
Gould could only say that he is
firm Republican and will support the
President steadfastly. He reiterat-
ed his opposition to the adherence of
the United States to the World Court,
a principle to which he will cling
should the question come upon the
floor of the Senate this winter.
Miss Olive Boynton, who was for
many years secretary to the late
Senator Fernald, will serve as Mr.
Gould's private secretary. She will
be assisted by Miss Lena Batchelder
and Miss Alma Floberg. both Of
Maine, who were also attached to
Mr.. Fernald'S staff here.
Mr.. Gould is staying at the Pow
hatan hotel for the time being When
Mrs. Gould joir~ him here after the
Christmas recess, he may remain at
the Powhatan or make other ar
rangements at her pleasure.
Mr.. Gould spent a busy morning
upon his arrival at the Senate office
building today. Swarms of newspa-
per correspondents and photograph
ers pursued him up and down the
corridors, from his offices at No. 210
to the public buildings and grounds
committee room, Of which Senator
Fernald was chairman, and thence
to Senator Hale's offices where he
finally took refuge. The prominence
of the recent elections in Maine, in
which Mr.. Gould was the victor, has
made him the object of great inter-
est in the Capital, so that immediate
ly upon his arrival he was engulfed
in wave of typical Washington high
pressure publicity.
When he finally arrived, safe and
sound, in Senator Hale's office he
wac hopping his brow and glad
enough to have Mr.. Marshall, SEN
ator Hale's secretary, refresh him
with a glass of Maine spring water
with which the Maine Senator's Of
fees are always supplied.
