RESCUED AT SEA JUST
 AS BOAT GOES UNDER
Three Americans, Victims of Florida Storm,
 Picked Up at Sea

Harye, France, Oct. IS lP) - An eight day battle in a disabled mo- tor boat with the tail end of the Florida hurricane ended in almost miraculous rescue for three Amer jeans, who were taken from their tiny craft a few moments before II sank in the raging seas.
 The three, William Sandberg of Brookline, Mass; Patrick Nash of San Francisco, and Russell Houng of Cambridge, Mass, arrived here today on the T.. S. shipping board steamer Keanticut, which picked thom up after they had given up their last hope and were facing death.
 The hurri ,ane hit the launch without moments warning as it was chusging down the Florida coast. The men were forced to head to sea to avoid being swamp cd under the monster waves that time and again smashed oyer the decks of their craft and buried the bow under tons of water.
 For five days they managed to keep the bow of the launch to the sea; then the engine was disabled, and the only reliance left to them was jury sail, rigged out of blanket.
 For nearly 72 hours they were without sleep, for the thrush of water kept two of them bailing all the time. while the third handled the wheel. Finally they gave up hope, with the water almost up to the sheer-line, and huge waves still battering them.
 It was then that the Meanicut hove into sight and took them off, just as the launch plunged to the bottom. Even then, Sandberg nar- rowly escaped death, for in his ex- hausted condition, he fell from the boarding ladder under the sinking launch and was hauled out with difficulty.
 The three men today had the highest praise for Captain S. c. Wallace and the crew of the Meanticut. who gave them every ccre, furnished them clothing and brought them to. Havre. .........

New York. Oct. IS CF - Queen Marie of Rumania and her royal party stepped onto American soil at the Battery today in drizzling rain which dampc..ed everything but tho spirits of the smiling visitors and tho cheering hundreds who crowded the great square for a glimpse of the first queen to visit America in seven years
 Gives First Interview Before her arrival, the queen granted an interview, possibly the only one she will give, on board the Leviathan.
 There were some 200 reporters. huddled together in dripping mass in the foyer outside the presidential suite about a roped enclosure.
 A hush fell suddenly and Marie was there. standing gracefully in- side the ropes and smiling at the newspaper men and women. Clad in wine colored velvet coat with blacN fur collar and cuffs and with a gold turban topping her chestnut bob, the queen was in striking con- trast to the bedraggled throng about he.
 Telling the reporters that she had heard on the boat about the barrage of questions they would hurl at her the queen proceeded to take the in- terview into her own hands.
 T have not yet had time to sec much of America" she said. But am very much excited. I anticipate having a lovely time. I came here to see all the beautiful things in America.
 T don't know what I want to see most: I want to see everything beautiful. And I know I shall find hero some of the love that Ruman- ians have for Americans.
 "1 am especially interested In the position of women here. what they have been doing in the cause of peace. Women have done so much for peace. Some day W men will end war: That Is, If they don't start fighting among themselves"
 The interview lasted only five l. 1utes and during tat time the queen talked steadily. her voice a soft ripple with a suggestion of the Scotch burr. Two or three times, however, reporters broke through with questions and the first of these, asked by woman reporter, con- cerned the city's skyline. Both the queen and the other reporters broke into laugh at the trite stock query. which was allowed to go unanswer- ed.
 Likes American Cooking
 Do you like American cooking? ?" was the next question. and the queen replied: "Oh, don't T." the almost countless trunks brought by the royal party also came in for mo- tice. "They aren't really all full of my gowns" the queen assured her hearers T don't spend so much for clc-hes as has been reported

UNLICENSED DOCTORS
 LOSE IN HIGH COURT
Supreme Tribunal Upholds Connecticut State
 Dept. of Health

Washington, Oct. IS LP) - Inc Connecticut law authorizing the state department of health to can eel the licenses of physicians with out a preliminary hearing was sus- tained today by the supreme court which dismissed for want of juris- diction case brought by Arnold H. Brein.
 Brien contended that the law was unconstitutional but the board of health replied that a court review fully protected him in all his guaranteed rights.
 Decision by the United States supreme court that the state de- partment of health of Connecticut may pass upon the right of mcdi- cal men to practice medicine in the state and withhold licenses to practice is expected 10 bring to an end controversy of more than two years standing, the appeal of Arnold II. Brein, of Bridgeport, be- irg regarded, it is understood, as the real test case.
 The controversy had it's origin In an exposure of the situation pro- duced by traffic in so called bogus medical college certificates. The state department of health ordered revoked several score of licenses which had been issued hy the ec- lectlc examining board. The physi- cians who had their licenses re- voked went to the general assem- ply for relief and the result was to extend the time in which the aggrieved practitioners might ap- peal 10 the court for review of their cases.
 Attorney General Frank F.. Healy afterwards gave an opinion that the state department of health should disregard a petition of the eclectic examining board for reinstatement of 55 physicians whose licenses had been revoked following the long inquiry of an inquisitorial grand jury with Bcne- dict M. Holden as foreman. The attorney general said he was un- able to find any statutory authority which would permit the state de- partment of health to rescind it's action in revoking the licenses.
 Last October the first step was taken towards q review of the situa- ton by the |. S. supreme court when John B. Dillon of Bridgeport secured from Chief Justice George w. Wheeler of the Connecticut su- preme court a writ of error in the case of Brein which had been con- tested in the courts 10 an adverse decision for him. The case of Brein was based on the fact that his certificate had been revoked by the health department on recom- mendation of the eclectic medical examining board on the ground that he had obtained the same by fraud. Judge c. L. Avery of the su- perior court had accepted from

 Tt is true that the Southern Pacific insists on the regular rates for carrying Queen Marie's special, {" r. S. McGinnis passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific told the Examiner last night. "We were asked to take at the s1 nomin- al rate but. declined.
 The only exception ever made by the Southern Pacific was in the case of Marshal Foch, who came here as the representative of America's allies in the war. He alone had the benefit of the s1 rate"

LAW ENFORCEMENT, l GOVERNORS DUTY
This Is Democratic GubernatOri. al Candidates Reply to Query
ANSWERS OTHER QUESTIONS
Morris, Replying to Woman's Con- mittee Questionnatre, Comments on Judgcships and also on Five Year Jury Legislation.

Hartford. Conn, Oct. 1S-Answers to questions on the enforcement of prohibition, the appointment of judges and county detectives and the five year law for jurors which the Woman's Connecticut committee for law enforcement addressed to Charles G. Morris, candidate for governor on the democratic ticket, were made public today at the Connecticut conference for law en- forcement.
 Regarding the first question. do you favor strict enforcement of the Connecticut liquor enforcement laws in their present form?" MT. Morris said:
 Enforcement a Duty
 "One of the duties of a governor, which in his oath of office he agrees to faithfully discharge is to take care that the laws be faithful ly executed, So long as the present laws remain on the statute books, should have no choice or desire but to enforce them impartially and equally"
 The second question was will you, If elected, favor the appoint ment of judges and other executive officers of the best available mate- rial as to ability and character, ir- respective of the political services of candidates?"
 Views on Judgeships
 To this he replied: The judicial system is the backbone of American freedom. Ability and character are so essential that they must be dominant in making such appoint ments. But since judge is a human being and therefore neces- sarily inclined toward certain views and away from other views. I be- lieye that 1t Is desirable as between candidates of substantially equal ability and character to consider their mental attitudes as well. I do not think that judgeships should ever be prostituted to serve as po- litical rewards"
 Do you favor restoring to the of ficials of the court the power to ap- point county detectives?" Mir. Nor ris was asked.
 "I do not know enough about how the duties and service of county de-
