KING IS PROUD
 OF NEW ARRIVAL
May Name BIue-Eyed Babe
 After Queen Elizabeth

London, April G2 CP-Number IT Bourton street, Mayfair. today, as yesterday, was the center of attrac- ton for worShipping women and girls, who crowded to the spot to view the house in which Great Brit aims newest princess was born early "Wednesday morning to the Duke and Duchess of York. At all social gath erings the toast is The New Baby Princess"
 Speculation is rife as to what name will be chosen for the princess, among the most popular in the minds of the public are Elizabeth, Mary and Victoria. Elizabeth makes a strong appeal to the popular imagination because of the possihili- ty of the little newcomer some day ascending the throne, thus giving England another Good Queen Bess" and another Elizabethan era,
 A vital question regarding the princess from woman's viewpoint is what is the color of the baby's eyes. This has been answered by those who profess to know. They assert that the eyes are blue. They also declare that the princess weighed more than seven pounds on her arrival. The physicians in attendance report her strong and healthy and as hav- ing q quantity of hair.
 The christening of the infant is expected to take place in the Chapel Royal at St. James palace, The god fathers will be King George and the Prince of Wales, while the two grandmothers. Queen Mary and the Countess Of Strathmore, will be the godmothers. Nothing concerning the christening. has been officially an- nounced.
 King George and Queen Mary and Queen Maud of Norway had a peep at the little girl yesterday afternoon and are declared to have expressed much pride in her. The royal grand parents had been up since an early morning hour, when they were in formed of the new arrival.
 Throughout the day messages of reorganization from all parts of the empire arrived at the mansion of the Earl of Strathmore, where the baby was born, for the Duke and Duchess of York. The endless stream of mes sqpvsrS go taxed inc front door bell that late in the afternoon it was put out of commission. Electricians were called in and their efforts to fix the bell gave the crowds outside cause for much amusement
 In addition to messages of felieita- ton flowers in large quantities were sent to the mansion. and before nightfall all the rooms were filled

the alien property custOdian's and At
torney Generals offices were traced to
Jesse w. Smith today in the Daugh-
erty Miller conspiracy case.
The name of Smith. described as
Harry NJ. Daugherty's friend, has
fitted through the Is days of the trial.
1t first was mentioned when it was
testified that Smith helped to acquaint
Richard Merton, German metal mag
nate, with Thomas w. Miller and as.
sistants to Dausherty. Then it was
shown that Smith got half Of the
$50 900 retainer" Merton gave King.
Sold Through Hibbs Co.
Today Edward n. Toland, an as
sistant in the Attorney Generals Of
fee, told how he traced to Smith $40.'
900 of the bonds Merton gave to King.
Smith had the bonds sold in 1922
through the Washington brokerage
firm of w. B. Hibbs.
Merton was recalled by the Govern.
ment to give the defense an oppor-
tunity to further cross-examine him
before he sails for Germany tomor-

as Attorney General, are charged with
conspiracy in connection with the
payment to Merton Of the $7,000,00O

throughout the trial that he does not
have to prove the claims were false
