QUEEN MARIE LEAVES
PARIS ON JOURNEY TO
THIS NATION TODAY

PARIS, Oct .11.-(AP--Queen Marie
of Rumania and her encourage today
hurried through their last minute
preparations for their departure for the.
United States tomorrow. The queen
and her immediate attendants were just
about as much agog tonight as possi-
bic without losing the poise expected of
royalty. Everybody else, even re-
motely connected with the final prep
arations was plainly overcome with
excitement.
On the eve of the queens departure
for the new world, her suite at thel
Hotel Ritz was what more ordinary
tourists are given to describing as al
madhouse Maids, majordomos and
mannequins bumped into one another
as they scurried from room to room
and from corridor to corridor trying
to make sure that nothing intended tol
go into the party's so trunks had been
forgotten. Delivery boys came hustling
up the grand staircase of the hotel one
after another all afternoon, while
mdinettes, almost too excited to speak,
tripped in with eleventh hour pur-
chases. The corridors were filled with
trunks and gayly flowered hatboXes,
while her majesty's maids rushed
around kicking reams of tissue andi
wrapping paper and ribbons until thel
entire apartment seemed as if it had
just emerged from a hurricane
After acting as hostess at a luncheon,
Queen Marie fled from the confusionI
this afternoon and went for an automo-j
bile ride with her sisters Grand
nucbaSS CVril and PrinceSs Reatrice
A womanly impulse to buy just one
thing more to squeeze into the luggage,
however struck her and she directed
her chauffeur back to the shopping
district a little after 4 p. m.
Weary from the most active week
that she has spent in Paris, the queen
remained in her suite for dinner and
retired early, eager for the beginning
of the experiences that will meet her
on her visit to the United States. Her
two special cars with special diner
attached will leave the st. Nazare sta
tion at 1885 o'clock tomorrow morn !
ing Delegations representing the
French navy, the chamber of commerce,
the French government and the port
authorities will bid the queen bon
voyage at Cherbourg before she en-
barks on the Leviathan. Rear Ad !
miral Roger Welles, commander of the
American flotilla of destroyers in the
French harbor, also will greet her be-
fore she boards the special tender /
welcome for the Leviathan, where
Captain Hartley will quit the bridge
and greet the royal party as soon as
they embark upon his ship.

was associated with O'Banion before
oBanion's assassination, and Paddy
Murray, gangster and brother Of.
William Murray who, with Big Tim
Murphy, was sentenced to Leaven-
in big mail robbery here few
years ago.
O'Brier's habit of stuffing his pocl-
cts full of legal documents probably
saved his life. $. A document mors
than an inch thick in his inside left
breast pocket was found perforated
by a bullet. The bullet was found in
the pocket.
After a thorough examination to-
night. doctors said he had been shot
seven. instead of five times, but that
his wounds We're not as serious as
at first thought, and that he should
recover unless complications arise.
Doctors said O'Brien had fight
ing chance to recover. He rallied
sufficiently to make statement to
the police.

did so I heard a rat -a-tat-tat and
felt Il sting lin my arm" he said.
Like a fool, I turned around, but it
was probably good thing that
did or I would have got it in the
face. All that I could hear was that
continual rat-a-tat-tat. ran down
into a basement close by and bumped
into a man I didn't know. We heard
some more shooting, but after Il
while everything got quiet. A woman
came down and told the other man
TO come up, that doctor was wait
ing I don't know whrre the shots
came from; they seemed to come
from everywhere
The effectiveness of the shooting
was evidenced by the spattering of
bullets against the cathedral The
corner stone was pock-marked with
bullets which partly obliterated the
inscription reading, "a. d. 1S74-ia

One of the first to arrive at the
scene of the shooting was Father

D. C. STEPHENSON, FORMER KLAN CHIEFTAIN
in INDIANA, SERVING LIFE SENTENCE FOR
MURDER, TO TELL OF OFFICIAL CORRUPTION

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct lid. c.
Stephenson, a spectacular character
who was generally credited with WELD
ing great power over politics in Indiana
two years ago, will have any oppor-
tunity next Thursday to relate to a
grand jury here any knowledge he may
have of alleged corruption among high
officials
Corruption charges have been made
freely for several days by Thomas H
Adams, publisher of the Vincennes.
Ind. Commercial. An inquiry into the
charges was begun today by the grand
jury.
Judge Collins sent an order to thee
state prison at Michigan City, where
Stephenson is now serving a life SEN
tence on a murder charge, directing
that the prisoner be returned here for
an appearance at 3 a. M, Thursday, be-
fore the grand jury.
Adams accusation, which he said
were based on information developed
with the assistance of a group of Ste
phenson's former employees, have re-
ceived wide publicity during the last
week, but until today had received no
official attention. Acting on request
of Arthur L. Gilliom, attorney general
of Indiana, Judge Collins today in-
struc the grand jury to make COM
plete investigation of the Adams
charges, Will Lemy. prosecuting attor-
ney, will have charge of the investiga-
tion and will be assisted by the attor-
ney general, Ralph Kane, the latter
having assisted in prosecuting Stephen
son on the charge that resulted in a
life sentence for the murder of Madge
Oberholtzer.

but also promotes peace between the
two countries.
with the United States now dry, the
attention of the w. c. r. U. is naturally
drawn toward the border, where
saloons, gambling houses and dance
halls are menace to the youth of our
country 1t is a recognized fact that
saloons along the border depend prin-
cipally for patronage upon Americans
from across the line, and it is for this
reason that the w. G. T. U. is now
needed on the border.
prohibition has come to stay in the
United States, and even such politicians
as Governor AL Smith, of New York,
and George Brennan, senator elect in
illinois,, can never restore the liquor
traffic Brennan has said that prohi-
bition is running the youth of the coun-
try, but before prohibition-when Chi
cago had 1000 saloons-there was
never a word from him about the dan
ger to young people.
1--WE must be fair to prohibition and
not judge it by the standard of per-
fection yet. No law is perfect and we
have had prohibition but six years. If
+, we are improving, we are on the right
road In spite of what we hear, there
is no question but that prohibition is
the right method to combat the liquor
traffic and that the country is getting
better because of it, All the noise we
hear is coming from the minority, who
realize this
NJ. T. COSBY, prohibition agent for
Arizona, in an address on law enfroce-
ment problems, urged campaign for
education on prohibition. II think we
are trying to curb bootlegging with the
club and pistol instead of relying on
education of the public on the law and
its necessity" COSBY stated. "The
main thing is to get all the common
people to believe in prohibition to the
point where they will give the officers
! their fullest support"
COSBY mentioned the need of a
change in the state law which would
make it less difficult for officers to
secure search warrants. 1T is true
that this law protects home owners
from search by officers, but 1 do not
think that law that protects honest
citizens should protect bootleggers in
the same way" COSBY stated
COSBY also advocated the placing of
the prohibition force under civil serv-
ice, with a wage that would permit
hiring the best type of men.

MRS. sIELAFF TEsTIFIEs

HALL OF JUSTICE, LOS ANGELES,
Oct. IL (AP)-The storm center OF
the prosecutions case against Aimee
Semple Mcpherson, evangelist, ac-
cused of criminal conspiracy swept
into the witness box at the prelim-
mary hearing today.
Mrs. Lorraine Wiseman- -Sielaff, who
has confessed that she plotted With
Mrs. Mcpherson and the latters
mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, to man
ufacture evidence supporting the An,
gelus Temple pastors story of kid
naping last May, waived all her
legal rights as a co-defendant with
the other two women and took the
stand against them With the ap-
pearance, of the modishly gowned
confessed conspirator in the witness
box, the legal storm broke.
Attorney w. I. Gilbert for the de-
fense declared that he had documents
to prove that Mrs. Sielaff had been
confined in an asylum for the insane
in Utah and never had Ueen legally
discharged as cured. With this as
sertion he tried to prevent reading OF
a statement made by Mrs Selaff be-
fore she confessed. But he failed
and the statement eventuaIiy was
read.
Then the defense with the courts
permission examined the witness on
the insanity angle. She admitted de-
tention in an asylum but said she
had been held only until it was dis
covered she was the wrong person.
S. S. Hahn, attorney for Mrs. S,e-
laff, charged that Gilbert was seek
ing to embarrass the witness but
the defense attorney persisted in his
examination.
Following this, her pre-ccnfession
statement was read outlining the al
legged plot to offset charges that
Mrs. Mcpherson lived at Carmel dur
ing her absence last May with her
eX-radio operator Kenneth G. Orm-
;ston. Mrs. Wiseman under direct
examination by District Attorney
Keyes, said prior to July of this
year she had lived in San Francisco
for nine years, where she was en-
ployed as a stenographer. She lived
in the Bay city with her mother and
two children, a daughter aged and
a son 10.
Met Aimee July
The witness said:
"I certainly am," when Eeyes asked
her if she was acquainted with
Aimee Semple Mcpherson. She met
the evangelist first July this year.
Prior to coming here by automo-
bile in July Mrs. Wiseman said she
talked with "Mr Martin" This
man approached her when she step
ped out of a telephone booth.
'Mr. Martini" is understood to be
the John Doe" mentioned in the
blanket complaint which included be-
sides Mrs. Mcpherson and Mrs Ken
nedy Kenneth G. Ormiston, rormer
radio operator at Angelus Tempe.

CHICAGO SCENE OF A
GANGSTER WAR, WITH
FORMER OFFICIAL SHOT

CHICAGO, Oct. IL (AP)-W. w.
OBrien, former assistant states at
torney and famous criminal lawyer,
was shot and probably fatally wound .
ed late today when Chicago's gang
land feud, which has flared inter-
mittently for the past two years,
blazed forth afresh. The victims were
ambushed on the near north side,
almost in front OF Holy Name ca
thedral, where the eucharistic con J
gress was opened last June, and only
a short distance from the flower
shop Of Dion O'Barion, where that
notorious gunman and gangster was
ambushed and slain three years ago.
Operating q machine gun from the
second story window of an apartment
building, one party of the gangsters
sprayed their victim with lead, while
a second party, riding in an automo-
bile, opened fire simultaneously with
rifles and machine guns. When the
slaughter was ended, two men lay
in the blood -spattered streets, one
dead and the other dying, another
crawled 10 the curb and collapsed
and two others iimped away and were
found in Il doctcr's office. The ia :
cade of the cathedral, which is the
see of Cardinal Murdelein, was raked
with bullets. n machine gun was
found in nearby alley.

the evangelist and who accompanied
Mrs. Mcpherson on the surf bathing
trip Nav 18 at Ocean Fark, sat in
the spectator's section during the
afternoon session. She was rnescort-
ed. Gilbert uttered an objection when
Keyes asked the witness about the
conversation with "Mr. Martin de-
claring 10 foundation had been laid
to establish Martin as Cocoon
spirator.
"These defendants surely have some
rights" Gilbert said land think
the testimony should be connected up
if possible"
Judge Blake said that all testi-
nony involving the other defendants
not present in court would be sub
iect to general objection if a CO.
conspiracy is not proved.
Keyes, rising in defense Of the
states case at it's most critical point
said:
"Of course we can lay no founda-
tion now that Martin came down
here and conferred with the evangei-
ist but we will shot that his foot
prints are IN this case. 1 insist that
the people also have right in this
court"
Judge Blake overruled Gilberts OBJ
lection and the state won the out

Haverfill was smaller and when
there was a general depression this
was somewhat more pronounced In
Haverhill. Now, however. the city Ia
keeping in better step with the gen.
eral conditions.
The industry is greatly affected by
the frequent changes in styles OF
women's shoes. Formerly a manu-
facturer would go out on the road
twice a year and book six months
business. Now 1t Is necessary to
keep many statesmen out all the time
taking small orders. because retail
ers refuse to stock up heavily on any
one style. The introduction of new
style also necessitates the added ex-
pense of new patterns and large
supply of new lasts on which to
shape the shoes. Discarded lasts are
useless except for firewood.
Another change is the gradual
elimination of jobbers. More and
more chain stores and department
stores are buying direct from the
manufacturers in order to get quick
deliveries. In some cases several
department stores send In joint
orders.
Many nationalities are represented
among the shoe workers here but for
the most part those-of alien extrac-
ton are of the second generation and
speak English fluently. THERE are
Greek and Italian colonies but other
wise the workers are scattered about
the city and its suburbs. living chief
ly in three and four-family houses.
There is an abundance of skilled
workers, particularly women stitch
ers.
The decentralization Of the in
dustry is shown by the fact that
about IA percent Of the factories
make IS percent of the shoes turned
out in Haverhill and employ so per-
cent of the workers. In addition to
the shoe factories there are many cut
sole and wood heel plants.
Mr. Newdick before coming here
had spent many years in industrial
investigations. AS chairman of the
arbitration board he has been called
upon to make the deciding ruling in
hundreds of disputes.
