BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 20. -
/ Queen Marie received q series of
-ovntions on her arrival by motor here
this drizzlv afternoon from merry
crowds more enthusiastic than the
respectful throngS she met in New
York and Washington.
Streets from the outskirts of the
city were packed with spectators -
factory girls, mothers with children
and workers. The spectators fill
ed sidewalks and streets, leaving a
lane just wide enough for her clos
ed automobile to pass through.
The queen s party arrived at 20
after Il fast ride over the 40 miles
of paved highway from Annapolis
where she was received at the Unitdc
States naval academy and treated to
"a review of the regiment of midship
men.
WASHINGTON, Oct 2O.-Queen
Marie s new itinerary, lodging Cali
fornia, was presented to the inter
state commerce commission today as
final arrangements were made by
railroads for caring for her ma lies
ty's special train at 81 hop be
tween cities.
The new itinerary is unchanged
for the trip from New York to Van
couvcr, Canada, and back to Port
/ land. From Portland, instead of
heading south over roads which re
fused to allow the 81 rate, her ma
jcSty will come east to Spokane,
Washington, then to Billings, Mont,
TO Wcndovcr, Wyo., to Denver, Colo,
to Kansas City, Mo-, to St. Louis, to
Springfield, H., to Chicago. From
there ON, the old itinerary will be
followed.
No Income Tax Return
Although under Il strict interprc-
tation of the law Queen Marie would
be subject to United States income
tax on any money she received in
this country, her majesty probably
will be permitted to leave America
without making tax return. Under
Secretary of the Treasury Winston
said today in an unofficial opinion.
For diplomatic reasons, tax offic-
ials may be expected to look the
other way when the queen leaves
this countrYi" December it was
intimatcd.
Officials of the internal revenue
bureau asserted strict interpreter
tion of the law would make Queen
Marie subject to tax like any other
foreign visitor. The question of n
tax ON royal earnings has never
before been raised. it is understood.
