London, Jan. 2S-(AP)-While rid
ing to hounds today in Leicestershire
the Prince Of Wales came a bad
cropper and fractured his left col
larbone. 1t was the second accident
he had sustained in the last two
days, for yesterday at Melton Now
bray his horse fell dead under him,
though the prince was not hurt.
Wales took formidable hedge to-
day with a ditch on either side. His
horse cleared the obstacle, but STUN
bled and fell. The prince tumbled
on his shoulder and his fellow hunt
ers ran to his aid. gave him what
assistance they could and took him
toia nearby cottage.
After his arm and shoulder had
been strapped up, the prince started
back for London. An N-ray showed
the fracture to be a simple one, and
not likely to interfere with his rid
ing for longer than did a similar ac-
cident to his right shoulder in 1924.
The prince Of Wales himself re-
quested his personal friends and the
newspapers to avoid sensational all
lusions to his latest fox hunting mis-
hap. which he considers merely n
matter of luck in a rather hazardous
sport.

4 Philadelphia, Jan. 2S.-(AP)-The
Statement by David L. Marshall, Phil
adelpha chiropractor, that he killed
Miss Anna May Dietrich and dismem-
bered her body because she had at
tempted to blackmail him, has been
completely repudiated." the police an
nounced tonight.
Evidence was unearthed today, the
authorities said, concerning a motive
for the Staying. Beyond stating that
it was not blackmail, however, they
declined to say what the motive was.
Thirty witnesses will be summoned
by the commonwealth when Marshall
is placed on trial charged with muir
der in the first degree. Many of these
already have been examined by the dis
trct attorneys staff.
Marshall, who yesterday collapsed
after he had been held without bail
for the action of the coroner and had
to be placed in the hospital at Moy-
amensing prison, apparently had recov-
cred today. His chief concern seemed
to be to get a shave. but in this he
was unsuccessful. Prison authorities
have been informed that he has threat
ened to take his life and are taking
unusual precautions to guard against
such an act.

McQuigg Satisfied
World Court Action

Portland, Me-. Jan. 29-(AP)-Sat-
isfaction with the action of the SEN
ate with relation to the United States
becoming a member Of the world
court, was expressed today by Brig.
Gen. John r. McQuigg, national
commander of the American Legion,
upon his arrival today to deliver ad-
dresses here tonight and at Bangor
tomorrow night to the American Le-
gion members.
Il think the Legion attitude on the
world court was well covered by
resolutions passed at the last con-
vention," he said. "At that time We
declared ourselves as favoring a
world court, although we made no
stipulations as to what form of world
court we favored. l do not feel it
necessary to amplify in that respect
at this time. l can merely say that
the Swanson reservations appended
yesterday seem to me to be all right,
and that l am well satisfied with the
senate action"

BRUSSELS PAYS
final TRIBUTES TO
CARDINAL MERCER

Brussels, Jan. 2S-(AP)-Belgium
paid tribute today to Cardinal Mer-
cier, primate of Belgium and arch
bishop of Malines. King and peasant
marched humbly afoot in the cortege
that carried all that was mortal Of
the beloved prelate through crepe
darkened streets to the great metro
in great national service they tes-
titled to the love and veneration they
hold for him.
1t was a ceremony of pomp and
solemn grandeur. but one in which
even the lowliest of the Belgians had
part. 100000 Belgian people lined
the funeral route and bowed silently
as the plain oaken coffin, surmounted
with its simple mitre of gold, was
carried to the cathedral. And they
still lined the way when a few hours
later, without military circumstance,
it was borne back to the north sta
ton. to be taken to Malines, where
tomorrow the Catholic church win
hold the last rites and consign the
body to the crypt in ST. Rombaut Ca
thedral.
The scene of st. Gudule presented
vivid contrast, with the brilliant
uniforms of the diplomatic corps and
military officers. the violet cassocks
of the bishops and the white gowns
OF the priests silhouetted against the
dull black and silver in which the
church was shrouded. AS the cortege
entered, it was met by the queen. pale
and in deep mourning. She herself
has risen from sick bed to honor
the memory ofsher friend.
The coffin rested on an immense
catafalque at the entrance to the
transept. 1t was surmounted by the
cardinals purple mantle. with three
rows of candles. Immediately facing
it was black covered throne reserv-
ed for the king, and on the opposite
side throne for the papal nuncio.
On either side were crepe-covered
seats for eminent personages-high
officers Of state. members of the
clergy. senators, deputies. judges. di-
plomats, distinguished scholars and
others.

BowdOin President
Warns People Maine
OF Senate MiXup

Especial to the Kennebec JournaO
Brunswick, Jan. ga warning to
the people of Maine is sounded by
president Kenneth c. NJ Stills Of
Bowdoin college who feels that they
should heed the lesson taught by the
controversy over the seating of Sem
ator Nye of North Dakota and insist
that the Maine laws be revised SO as
to make such a miX-up impossible In
this state.
President Sills' statement is as fol-
lows:
The controversy over the seating
Of Senator ,Nye of North Dakota
ought to be warning to the state
OF Maine, If l am correct in believing
there is at present much doubt about
Inc procedure to be followed should
mere be certain vacancy in the Of
nee OF United States senator. There
s believe, no provision in the sta
tutes Of Maine for the filling of va
eancies in the office of United States
senator. nor is there any specific
statutory authority for holding an
eiectlon apart from the regular state
election. Apparently in the minds of
some authorities there is serious
count If the governor would have the
right to appoint a senator to fill the
vacancy.
IN matter of this Importance It
seems to me to be highly desira Bile
Lat there should be no ambiguity
whatsoever. 1t would be interesting

Mas introduced in the last session to

would be most unfortunate if in

lame should be deprived of it's right

tniled States senate through failure
make proper provision in advance,

out their allotted time today and adj

THE anthracite committee met to-
day and 100 and continued its discus
sion of a possibility of reaching an

There was a general discussion of
numerous plans submitted to the con-
ference. These plans were still under
discussion at the time the committee
adjourned at 6 o'clock"
Under an agreement the six miners
and six operators are not supposed to

silent as to whether any progress Is

LINER ROOSEVELT
RESCUES Is ABOARD
FREIGHTER ANTIN0E

New York. Jan. 2S.-fAP)-The sea
and human heroism have broken even
in the latest renewal of their age-old
battle.
The President Roosevelt, her tunnels
belching defiance of the gale she has
fought for days. has resumed. her way
to Cherbourg tonight, with the whole
crew of % men from the mangled and
helpless British freighter Antinoe
aboard.
Their rescue was the seaman's vic
tory. A few hundred miles to the
north and west bits of wreckage on the
still turbulent Atlantic gave evidence
of the battle the sea won. They are
all that is left of the Laristan, also a
British freighter, which went down
with her captain and rs men.
The Roosevelt completed her victory
early this morning by the light Of a
moon which came out propitiousIy dur
ing brief lull In the 90mile gale. An
open boat from the Roosevelt, CONF
manded by Chief Officer Miller, took
the last 10 men off the Antinoe.
They were exhausted from hunger
and battered by the waves. Earlier,
Captain George Fried of the Roosevelt
had wirelessed of the rescue of the
first ~ of the crew, but said the 9TH
ers had to be left aboard because they
We're too weak to risk jumping into the
sea-"
Captain Fried had stood by the An
tnoe since Sunday. Early this morn
ing he got a "blinker' code message
from the IS left aboard saying the ship
was listing SO degrees and could not
stay up much longer.
Though the gale had abated little,
heavy swells were running and the
waves were high. Nevertheless the
Roosevelt launched its sixth lifeboat.
1T succeeded.
little later her wireless operator
sputtered a message to the home OF
fee of the United States Lines saying
they We're ION the way to Cherbourg
again. regretting the loss of two of the
crew who were drowned in an earlier
attempt to reach the Antinoe. and
leaving the freighter still afioat, "a
serious menace to navigation"
CAPTAIN Fried lives in New York.
Now I hope George will get some
Sleep" his wife said when she heard
of his victory. II knew he would get
them off if it was but humanity posi-
BILE to do it."
The North German Lloyd liner
Bremen, which had stood by the lost
I.aristan as the Roosevelt stood by the
Antinoe, wirelessed today the names
of six men she had been able to rescue
from the Laristan before she went
down. They are Ships Carpenter Sa-
cenby. Sailors Carina and Johnes, and
Firemen Philips, Mckee and McCahan.
