CAROL COUP TOWN
THRONE REPORTED
Peasant Party Negotiates
Return of ex-Prince, Says
Paris Journal.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 81. L'Oeuvre
French radical newspaper, today says
that delegates of the National Peasant
party of Rumania have negotiated
with former Crown Prince Carol for
his return to Rumania and his as.
sumption of the throne.
L'Oeuvre, in an article signed by
Henry Barbe, foreign editor of the
paper, says that the Peasant party
delegates laid down one condition
that Carol break with the titian-haired
Magda Lupescu, with whom he eloped
nearly two years ago, deserting his
wife, Princess Helen. Carol accepted
this condition, it is stated.
Returns Next Year.
Barbe says that Carol will enter his
kingdom at the beginning of next
year, and that the congress or the
National Peasant party to be held at
Albaiulia, Rumania, October "a, Will
Carols return.
Barbe adds that Premier Bratiano
and his brother, Vintila, are so
alarmed at the prospect of Carols re-
turn that they are doing all in their
power to prevent the Congress from
meeting. They offered the Peasant
party power and participation IN the
government with the Liberal party,
headed by the Bratianos. Lionel Brat.
tiano agreed to take the portfolio OF
foreign affairs on two conditions
First. no more talk of Carol; second,
no interference with the present laws
and the national bank. This offer,
Barbe says, was refused.
Barbe also relates that Queen Marie
wishes to come to Paris to see Carol,
but Premier Bratiano, fearing that
she might betray him, exclaimed
bluntly: "If you continue to poster
me with your family business. / will
proclaim a republic"
The possibility of Carols return,
however, is not regarded seriously in
well informed quarters here, as the
latest reliable advices from Bucharest
say that by general consent, the Car
olist movement is non-eXistent in Ru-
mania.
The leaders of the Peasant party
are said to frankly admit that they
are not working for the former Crown
Princes return, as such activity is
unnecessary, since WldL tHSy TERM
maladministration of Premier Brati-
ano will eventually bring about
Carols return.
Therefore, the Peasant party lead
ers are quoted as declaring they are
quite content to let things work them
selves out.
other rumors and surmises are con-
tanned in the papers of Paris.
Couple Seen Parted.
lie Journal says that Carol has
broken with Nine. Lupescu. The rea.
son given by that paper is that her
memoirs now appearing in the Ameri'
car papers caused Carol intense an.
noyance. Nine. Lupescu formally de-
MED that she was the author of the
memoirs, but Carol preferred to sepa-
rate from her and did SO last Tuesday
LIE Journal says.
On the other hand, the Paris edi-
ton of the New York Herald says a
prominent member of the Rumanian
colony in Paris declared he saw the

Norris Opposes Proposal to
Ditch Equalization Fee for
DireCt-Aid Plan.
NYE WANTS SUBSTITUTE
| BEFORE BACKING BILL
Leaders, Seeking to Find Middle
Ground, Postpone Confer
ence to Monday.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The proposal TO ditch the "equali2a-
ton fee" of the McNary-Eiaugen farm
relief bill and substitute a direct Gov
ernment aid, advanced by some mem
bers of the newly organized progress
sive group, today struck a snag.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, the
tentative choice of the group for the
presidential nomination, said that he
was by no means ready to abandon
the equalization fee. He added that IL
some other plan for working out the
farm problem calculated to achieve
the same result could be devised, It
might be acceptable to him, but that
so far none had been devised that he
knew of. He said that the farmers
were not asking for a direct subsidy
from the Government and that he
himself was opposed to one.
Nye is Disturbed.
Senator Nye of North Dakota, an.
other member of the group, was dis
turbed by reports that the equaliza-
ton was 10 be abandoned. He too
said that unless some substitute was
found which would accomplish the
same results as the McNary-Haugen
bill was intended to accomplish, he
would stand for that bill.
Take the equalization fee out of the
McNary-Haugen bill," said Senator
Norris today. land it would be like
cutting the heart out of a man and
sending him on his way"
Senator Brokhart of Iowa, on the
other hand, is not so insistent on the
equalization fee. but is willing to pro-
vide direct Government aid to the
farmers.
Senator Borah of Idaho, anothe
member of the group. is strongly op-
posed to the equalization fee on con.
stitutional grounds. He voted against
the McNary-Haugen bill during the
last session of Congress.
The Progressive group is seeking to
find some middle ground upon which
all its members could stand. A con-
ference was set for II o'clock this
morning to discuss the matter and to
formulate a statement for the group
on the agricultural question. This
meeting was postponed. however, un-
til Monday, because Senators Frazier
of North Dakota. and McMaster of
South Dakota could not be present
today.
Might Have Wide Effect.
Should the Progressive group finally
decide that the equalization fee was
not an absolute necessity in any farm
Legislation, its attitude might have a
far-reaehing effect both in the matter
of legislation in the coming session
and in the field of politics. If farm
bill can be passed at the coming ses-
sion of Congress which can receive
the approval of the President, a long
w.v.I1 NoI-
the farm question from the next cam
paign.
Incidentally 1t would cut the ground
from under the candidacy of former
Gov. Frank o. Lowden of Illinois for
the Republican nomination for Presi
dent. and in some measure would also
tend to eliminate Vice President Dawes
from consideration for the presiden-
tial nomination.

Street Railway Proposal
Is Recalled.

Harley p. Wilson, owner Of the

author of a plan designed to bring
about a merger Of the transportation
agencies of the District, today with
drew a tentative copy of the docu-
ment from the Office Of John w. Chill
dress, chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission.
The tentative plan was submitted
to Mr.. Childress for his consideration
last week, and it was withdrawn, Mr..
Wilson announced. because he did not
desire to embarrass the Utility Com
mission chairman and his colleagues.
Plan Merely Suggestion.
In a letter to Chairman Childress
asking that the document be returned
Mr.. Wilson said:
when I submitted to you tentative
ly few days ago an outline of the
general principles of plan for a
merger of the street railway lines in
Washington, did so merely for the
information of yourself and your col
leagues and with the hope that formal
presentation to the commission of a
definite plan for public hearings and
discussion might be expedited.
'Since there seems to be a disposi-
ton in some quarters to regard the
tentative plan as official, and there
fore a matter for publication, 1 feel
that / ought not to embarrass you
and your colleagues by leaving the
unfinished plan with you, and 1 there
fore beg to withdraw it.
Dispute Is Blamed.
II shall, as soon as possible, present
officially a definite plan for your con.
sideration."
The merger plan has been guarded
with utmost secrecy ever since its
presentation to Mr.. Childress. The re
quest for it's return, it is understood
followed refusal by Engineer Com
missioner William Il. Ladue, a member
of the commission, to read the docu
ment until it was presented formally
and officially to the commission
Chairman Childress and Col. Harrison

ment, 1t was said.

Three members Of the younger so.

serious injury yesterday afternoon
when an automobile driven bv Doug
las Macarthur, jr., II years old,
nephew Of Maj. Gen. Douglas Mac

CLANCY, Is years old, of Worcester,
Mass. None of the young people was
reported in serious condition after
they were taken to Emergency Hospi-
tai.
Crashes on NOrmanstOne Drive.
The car skidded on Normanstone
drive near Thirtieth street, and struck
an abutment of a culvert and over
turned before young Macarthur was
able to bring it under control. He is
believed to have applied the brakes
too suddenly when he approached a
sharp curve. The car skidded about
30 feet, Macarthur told the police.
The machine was badly damaged.
The three injured persons were
taken to Emergency Hospital by DR..

ing, collided with No. 10 police patrol
wagon in front of the District Build
ing, breaking the wagon and hurling
Policeman Wallace w. McGregor to
the street
McGregor was on the rear step Of
the wagon signaling the motorman
on the approaching car a warning as
the wagon backed from the west curb
to make turn to go to Police Court
with Leroy Washington, colored
prisoner. It is said failure Of the
emergency brake TO properly function
resulted in the car skidding against
the wagon.
Seeing an accident inevitable, Nc
Gregor made an effort to enter the
vehicle and hard just succeeded when
the crash came, the impact throwing
him from the vehicle in front of the
street car. The motorman brought
the car to a stop in time to avoid strik'
ing the policeman.
McGregor's face was cut by broken
glass from the street car and he was
severely shocked. Brass rods on the
patrol wagon were damaged. The ac-
cident caused an interruption to traffic
for short period.
