esting ceremonies with which the Re-
public of Brazil marked the last home
of their revered Emperor Dom Pedro,
who died in Hotel Bedford in Paris,
December 5, 1891. Brazil always hon.
ored the last of it's emperors in the
highest degree, though political up
heavals had demanded his renouncing
of imperial claims and accomplished
his eventual exile. He was escorted
out of the country with full military
honors and, in the financial sense, he
knew but little difference between
actually reigning and receiving his in,
come in an alien land. Dom Pedro
was the stanch friend of this
country and was on particularly
friendly terms with President Grant.
He was the guest of President Grant
in May, 1876, and accompanied him
to the centennial in Philadelphia and
shared the honors. For this reason
the American embassy was officially
represented at the unwilling of a
bronze tablet reciting the fine quail
ties of mind and heart possessed by
the late Emperor and the esteem in
which his former subjects hold his
memory. The tablet is the work of
Jean Magrou, an artist and associate

Congress Gives I'LL
.R ig ht To States In
Lands With Minerals

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 P--Com-
pleting congressional action, the SEN
ate today accepted house amend
ment to bill which would give to
states full title of lands containing
mineral deposits, ceded by the gov
ernment for school purposes.
The measure advocated by west
ern states now goes to the prcsi-
dent.
Under the house amendment tho
conversion of title would apply to
school sections with known mineral
deposits. 1t was opposed by Secre-
tary Work on the ground that the
government by relinquishing is
rights to minerals would jeopardize
the whole program of federal con-
servation of mineral resources.
Agreement of the senate was reach
ed without debate after Senator Jones'
democrat, New Mexico, made mo-
tion for concurrence in the house
changes.
The measure clarifies the present

Mystery Death OF
Woman OF Wealth
Remains UnsoIved

CAPE MAY, Jan. 20 R.-Belief
that Miss Mary S. Clark, wealthy
elderly woman Whose frozen body
was found on the beach here las,
Saturday night, met her death in
Cape May and not elsewhere was
strengthened today when it was
definitely determined that she ar
rived here last Friday evening. Penn
sylvania railroad conductors today
identified their punch marks on
mileage coupons whose number
agreed with the mileage book found
in Miss ClarlcA naN1fbag on the
beach. The police now know that
Miss Clark boarded Cape May train
IN Philadelphia Friday afternoon.
After arriving here at 6:19 p. m.
all trace of her was lost
Policemen were sent to all hotels
and boarding houses that are open
for winter business but found none
who remembered seeing the elderly
woman.
Two boys, who were arrested In
Camden for taking an automobile
from here, have returned in custody
of local police. They were mot
accused of any connection with the
Geath of Miss Clark, but the authori-
ties wished to question them as to
where they obtained the money on
which they lived in Camden before
applying to the police there last
night for shelter.
An autopsy will be performed Sat-
urday morning by DIR. Julius Way,
county physician. The inquest will
be held Saturday afternoon.

CHURCHILL PUTS
0. K, ON FASCISM
IN STAT EN- 7

ROME, Jan. 2O-lP)- Warm approval
of fascism as applied to the people of
Italy was expressed today by Winston
Churchill, British chancellor of the
exchequer, in statement given out
to newspaper correspondents. The
chancellor, like Sir Austen Chamber
lain, British foreign secretary, came
to Rome to see for himself the achieve
ments of fascism and to confer with
Premier Miussolini, Finance Minister
Count Volpi and other fascist state
ments In one part OF his statement,
Churchill said IF / were an Italian,
l am certain l would be with you
from the start until the end in your
victorious battle against the bestial
appetite and passions of Leninism.
But in Great Britain we have not
as yet been face to face with that
danger under the same form. We
have our own methods of dealing with
such things But on one subject ] have
no doubt whatsoever = that We. are
united in the fight against commun-
ism abroad.
In regard to Americas attitude TO-
ward Europe, the British watchdog of
the treasury had this to say:
IAN entente like that of Locarno ex-
cludes no other power, and it does
not prejudice the interests of any one
who aligns himself with the general
structure of the league of nations and
facilitates the development of that
vital instrument, and the United States
cannot very well much longer remain
aloof. On the contrary, am sure that
nothing would give more satisfaction
to the American people than to see
the great nations of Europe work to-
gether, loyalty and in coordination, as
nothing could more easily induce the
United States to aid with her effica-
cious contribution those who are for
the cause of humanity"

royalty question" he said.
