DEATH CLAIMS
HARDEN, FAMOUS
GERMAN EDITOR
By ERIC KEYSER
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN. Oct. 1.-Maximillian
Harden, enemy of the former kaiser,
first important publicist to predict
the World War and the man who
warned that the United States
would not be an ally of Germany in
that conflict, died yesterday at his
home in Notwithstanding, Switzer-
land. He was G6 years old.
As founder and publisher of the
weekly newspaper "Die Zukuft'
("The Future') he became one of
the kaiser's earliest and most fear
less foes.
AS early as 1892, in one of the
first issues of his paper, he pointed
out the danger from the vilful and
inconsiderate policy of the kaiser s
personal regime. Six months in
prison was the answer of the kais-
er's government. This was the be-
ginning of Harden's fame.
In December, 1911, Harden told
the Berlin correspondent to the
United Press, in a copyrighted in
terview, that unless there was a
complete "right about face' in the
methods and policies of the men in
control of Germany's foreign af-
fairs, war between Germany and
England would be inevitable. He
doubted that there would be right
about face he said.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 81. - Ap-
proximately $7,20O,00O will be avail
able for expenditure upon California
highways from the new three cent
gasoline tax levied for the three
months ending September 80, it was
announced today by the state board
of equalization.
This figure exceeds by more than

cent per gallon went into effect
July 20 of this year.
Compared with the gasoline sales
for the corresponding quarter of
1926, sales for the quarter just clos
ed showed gain of 23,S39, 1869
gallons, or an increase of 11.9 per-
cent.
The total distribution for the last
quarter was 273, ,753, ,669.6 gallons,
and the two cent tax which was lev
led against all of this, after deduc-
tion Of one percent for shrinkagc
according to law, was $5,42O, ,32O.G7.
In addition, the newly authorized
one cent tax was levied against all
gasoline distributed since July 20,
yielding $1,770,733.67.
The latter amount will be used for
building of new roads, but proceeds
from the two cent tax are limited by

CAROL NOT STRONG
ENOUGH FOR COUP
OBSERVERS STATE

LONDON, Oct. 31.-Dcspite re-
ports of great activity of pro-Caro-
lists in Roumania, the majority of
observers OF European events in
London believe today that Premier
Bratianu's regime still was en-
trenched strongly in support of the
boy king Michael.
The majority of political writers
declared Prince Carol lacked the ne
cessary popular support for a coup
to take the throne, arguing that he
possessed followers only among the
ranks of junior courtiers and young
er officers of few regiments and
the small aerial branch, in which
Carol personally is interested.
1t was asserted that the national
peasants party, backing Carol, re-
presented only part of the agricul-
tural element. Furthermore, it was
said, its allegiance to Carol was due
to its hostility toward Bratianu
rather than to love for Carol.
Some asserted that Carol, by his
seesawing between amourous ad-
ventures and political ambitions,
had shown himself not sufficiently
strong willed and daring to effect
the deposition of Bratianu.
Carols statement in Paris Sat-
urday that he was prepared to an.
swer the appeal of the Roumanian
people is interpreted in most quar-
ters merely as being new mood of
