BOY KING MAY LOSE
FUTURE RULERSH|P
Observers in Rumania Point
to Maniu'S Leaning to
RepubIiCaniSm.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, November 6.
Some political observers see in the
turn of events in Rumania which have
followed the resignation of the govern
ment headed by Premier Vintilla Bra
tianu a possibility that the 7-year-old
King Michael may never actually rule
his people.
With Julio Manu-, leader Of the Ma
tional Peasants Party, one of the posi-
BILE choices of the regency, who rule for
the boy King, for the premiership. po-
litical observers point to Maniu's lean
ilgs toward a republican form Of gov
ernment. They are beginning to fear
that Michael, like his exiled father,
former Crown Prince Carol, may never
be actually the King.
None of these observers are willing
to guarantee that the present regents,
who were appointed by the late Premier
Ion Bratianu will last until 1889, when
King Michael attainS his majority and
the right to rule.
At the Alba Julia conference of the
Peasants Party last May Manu- said
the peasants would march on Bucharest
unless the Bratianu cabinet retired and
he even limited at the formation OF a
republic.
Now that censorship has been abol-
ished In Rumania, the prediction is
heard that if the progression Transyl-
vanian leader gains control he may ulti-
mately abolish the regency and lay the
foundations of republic on modern
American lines.
He would thus add another monarchy
to the heap of discarded European
thrones and King Michael and his
mother, Princess Helen, might be forced
to Join Carol in exile.

SUB DISASTER SUITS
REACH HIGHEST COURT
Estates of Three Naval Officers of
Sol Sue United States for
100000 Each.
BY the Associated Press.

The disaster in which the submarine
S-51 was sunk after collision with the
City of Rome In Long Island Sound has
reached the Supreme Court in three
suits brought against the United States
by estates of naval officers who lost
their lives. 1t is alleged that the Gov
ernment was guilty of negligence in not
having proper running lights, whistles
and other equipment.
The suits are for 100000 each,
brought by Godye M. Dobson, admins
tratrix of the estate of r. H. Dobson;
Tempa Russell Egbert, Administrative
of the estate of E. w. Egbert, and Law
renee B. Haselden, executor for j. D.
Haselden, jr.
The United States District Court
dismissed the suits for lack of jurisdic-
ton and was sustained by the Circuit
Court of Appeals, which held that while
recent law permitted suits against the
United States arising out of collisions
in which Government vessels were in
volved. the estates of the naval officers
could not maintain the suits because
they were amply provided for under
the pension system.
