PARIS, Oct. 25.-Impatiently
waiting word to start for Roumania
and restoration to his place in the
sun, Prince Carol was in sccluSion
today at Belleme, in Normandy.
The former crown prince, though
he has high hopes of returning to
Roumania and either ascending the
throne or debating pQAries through
his baby son, King Michael, is play

1t was necessary for him, in en-
barking on his bid to return from
exile, to part from Nine. Lupcscu.
The scandal of his elopement with
her and his refusal to forsake her
for his wife, Princess Helene, caus.

succession to the throne.
Nine. Lupe scu left Carols villa
at Neuilly an Il was reported to have
gone to vienna. But it developed
that the pretty red haired woman
seen in cafes there was not, as
thought Nine. Lupescu.
Instead, Carol s playmate has
been traced to the French rivera
where she can rejoin Carol easily.
If Nine. Lupescu had gone to
Vienna it might have been difficult
for her to return to France because
the Roumariau government would
have exertei every effort to per,
shade France to deny her a pass.

Carols supporters in Paris said
he has every prospect of success IN
his ambitions. They say that the
power of the government party is
waning. and that the people want

Disturbance Confined to-
Sparsely Settled South
District.
by United Press Leased Wire


Extent of the damage done by the
earthquake which shook the south
east section of Alaska yesterday
was minimized in reports available
from that territory today.
Advices to tho government radio
station at Seattle and dispatches
from United Press correspondents
in Nome and Anchorage indicated
the disturbance was localized III
southeastern Alaska.
The dispatches from United Press
correspondents in Nome and An
chorage said no tremors were felt
in northwest or south central Alas
ka.
Reports to the Seattle naval radio
station told of the temblor being
felt in Sitka and the principal
towns of southeastern Alaska.
Only minor damage was reported
from this district. Windows were
broken in a few houses in Sitka,
messages to the Seattle radio sta
tion said. The naval station at
Bremerton, Wash, reported that no
word had been received there Of
quake damage in Alaska.
Cable communication between
Ketchikan and Wrangell and be-
tween Juneau, Haines and Skagway
was interrupted following the
quake. The cable ship Dellwood
was under orders to leave Seattle
tonight to repair the damage.
Warnings of the possibility of n
tidal wave following the Alaskan
tremor and much more severe
quake on the floor of the Pacific
were issued yesterday and wide
spread precautionary measures were
taken. Reports today showed there
had been no damage from tidal
waves on the Pacific.
Semismographs in the sInitetf
States recorded the earth tremors
over a period of more than two
hours yesterday. /
WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-Officf
ials of the United States coast and
gcodetic survey today were await
ing confirmation of their belief that
Yesterday s severe earthquake IN
Alaska did little actual damage.
They were hoping that cable serv-
ice, reported disrupted by the series
of shakes would be restored, enabl-
ing them to hear from Alaskan cit
les direct. ~
The quake was described .hereF as
probably the most severe since the
Santa Barbara temblor of 1925. By
geometric calculations from widely
separated seismographs,- the survey
officials located it in the Fair
weather mountain range in the cen
tlal eastern portion of Alaska, with
in 900 miles of Juneau and Valdez.
The disturbance lasted mere than
two hours. Father Tondorf. of
Georgetown University. said the
quake shook the needle from ,his
GcismOgraph here.
Yakutat, village of several .hhn-
dred inhabitants directly in the sup
posed quake area, is the only com
munitv likely to have been serious

chiefs.

closing of his desk at American
League headquarters today, Ban
Johnson came to the end Of his q
years as league president. His
resignation was written ready to
hand to the league directors Mon

an annual salary of $4,000 until
it's expiration in 1885, when he an
nounced last summer he would
"clean house and resign"
Of his future plans, Johnson has
said nothing except that he expects
to take long rest. Where he will
go, he said, has not been decided.
f. S. Barnard, president of the
Cleveland club, has been regarded
for months as Johnson's successor,
but no official wcrd has been given
out on his election.

WALTER HAGEN CAN'T BE COUNTED OUT
IN PROFESSIONAL GOLFERS TOURNEY
old Haig' Has Won Title Three
Times. in Succession - He
Doesn't Look So Formidable
This Season, Though
RY a. r. KELLER

The annual championship OF the
United States professional Golfers
Association is now approaching,
somewhat slowly. It is late this
year, in November, at Dallas, Texas.
Speculation begins as to the old
Haig, who has been winning that
fixture 80 consistently that in some
quarters there is a sort Of conviction
that it belongs to him.
He went to the finals at Pelham
in 1923 and lost on the 38th green
in furious battle with Gene Sara
zen, his traditional foe. Since then
he has won it three times in sue
cession, which is all the times the
championship has been layed.
The old Haig hasn't looked so
formidable this season. He had a
strained foot earlier in the year and
seemed unable to do himself justice.
He showed badly in the $4,000 tour
nament in Atlanta in March, and
was not very good in the North and
South open. He played pretty well
in the Ryder Cup matches with the
British professionals, and in the
United States open seemed at last
to have got started, reaching the
final round in position usually
favorite with him-just enough back
Of the lead to worry the leaders.
But in place of closing the gap he
slipped again.
Will Be Battle at Dallas
Still, let US not count the old Haig
out of his favorite tournament as
yet. ] suspect there will be some
battling ct Dallas before he capt.
ulates-if he does capitul, te.
! like to see Walter Hagen play
golf. His game usually is marked
by great variety. Seldom does he
produce what Bernard Darwin calls
the brilliantly dull" rounds of
Bobby Jones. Walter explores the
course thoroughly, as q rule. He
mingles eccentric tee-shots with re-
coveries Of incredible spectaculality.
And when he gets within striking
distance of a mashie-niblick, / know
of no player who is quite so deadly.
Walters putting has reputation,
but to me the strong spot in his
game is the pitch from 100 yards
inward. It is that factor that leaves
him with so little putting to do that
the old putter gets bit of vicarious
credit, though Walter Individually is
grand putter, also.
