zOGU DECIDES He
NEEDS PRINCESS
Breaks Engagement in Order 70
We'd Royal Blood

Tirana, Albania Nov. ~ Rl-Kine
Zogu Is understood to have broken
his troth to the daughter OF
wealthy landowner and decided that
he must have a princess Of royal
blood to share his throne.
Engaged Six Years
Zogu. who was proclaimed king
ON Sept. 1st had been engaged for
six years to Leila. the c3-year-old
daughter of She,ket Bey Viltiz,
wealthy landowner of FL Basson. He
is now understood to have written
her saying that he deeply loved her
but that reasons OF state compelled
him reluctantly and sorrowfuliy TO
give up the idea Of their marriage.
Leila is reported to he nearly
heart-hroken and unreconciled to
her fate. She is quoted as having
said that she could never love any
man except the tall, handsome "a
year-old king.
The reported breaking Of Zogus
troth again has stirred up discus
sions as to whom he will choose TO
share his throne. Mosiem subjects
OF Zogu refuse to believe there IL
any possibility Of Princess Giovanni
OF Italy becoming their queen since
she probably would not be willing to
abandon the Christian faith nor
ZoKu the devout adherence to
Mohammedanism.
Many Runsors
II was recalled that when Zogu
first announced his plans for turn
ing the Republic Of Albania into a
kingdom there was = rumor that he
intended to marry b daughter Of
King Fuad of Egypt. This again
possibly was being discussed by
those who thought that ZoKu would
wed the daughter Of titled Moslem
family.

while District officials flsmedI
over an inadequate fire escape law
today, death claimed a second vic.
tim Of the fire which swept q roon1-

N. W., yesterday.
Franklin Donahue, six, who leaped
from the blazing building to the
arms Of passersby, died at 1880
4. M, at Emergency Hospital from
severe burns and injuries received
in the fall.
Mother Not Told
Physicians did not Immediately

The other victims Of the fire was
Edward Perly 55. over whose
death an inquest is to be held as
soon as the building inspectors
offire has completed its investiga-
ton Of the fire.
When news Uf the boys death
reached the District Building, off.
cias redoubled efforts to bring
about a new law that wodld pre-.
vent q repetition of the tragedy.
Building inspectors searching the
ruins of the rooming house reported
they found gas lines had been con-
nected with STOVES in the various
apartments, despite the fact that
the owners Of the property had
been told in 1926 that fire escapes
must be placed on the building II
the stoves were connected.
Old Law Defective
The present fire escape law, en-.
acted by Congress in 1906. pro-
vides that all buildings over three
stories in height used as tenement
houses. apartment houses. fats,
hotels, ETC., must have fire escapes,
but does not mention rooming or
boarding houses.
The proposed new law provides
that rooming houses and boarding
houses or any other building over
three stories high, in which five or
more persons sleep on the third
floor, must be equipped with fire
escapes.
The present fire escape law has
been source Of contention ever
since st was enacted
In 1907 the corporation counsel
was called upon to decide whether
boarding houses or rooming houses
should be included in the scope of
the law. He ruled that they should
not be.
20 In Narrow Escape
In 1924 a rooming house In the
500 block OF Pennsylvania Ave,
caught fire and about 90 persons
were. rescued from the upper floors
by firemen. The building was not
equipped with fire escapes.
The fire department protested
against the loophole in the law
which allowed rooming houses to be
erected without fire escapes and an
amendments including roominG
houses and boarding houses was
prepared by the Commissioners.
The matter was allowed to die
down and no action had been taken
on it until yesterdays fire aroused

Last Three Days;

BIZ United Press
MUKDEN, China, June 21.-The
death of Chang Tso Lin, Man
churian war lord and former die
tator Of the North China govern
ment, was announced officially to-
day.
The announcement said the Man
churian ruler had died this morn
ing.
The Manchurian commander was
injured late in May when his
special train, in which he was flee
ing from Pekin after the successful
Nationalist advance, was bombed
or the outskirts of Muhden.
Chang Tso Lin was wounded in
the head and taken Immediately
to his home within the walled city.
A great corps of doctors was called
in to treat him and they issued
encouraging reports as to his con-
ditions, INDICATING he still was
directing HE forces.
Apparently Chang Tso Lin died
from the injuries received in the
bombing of the train.
It was announced officially that
the funeral services for the late
leader would last three days, begin
ming Saturday.
Chang Tso Lin, 8 Chinese bandit
who rose to great political power

recent Chinese history. Small,
wiry and keenly observant he had
moulded together a government in
Manchuria that virtually was free
from all alliances with the remain
der of China.
He took over, after a bitter as
sault on the Central Powers, the
government of Pekin in 1924 and
since had ruled there. He claimed
all of his efforts at controlling the
central government we're aimed to-
wards protecting China from COM
munism.
Finally late in May, when the
Nationalist approached perilously
close to the capital, Chang Tso Lin
renowned his control of the Pekin
government, said he hoped for a
reuniting of China, and then fled
the city amidst the cheers and mill
tary saluteS of the citizens.

1t as something that God gives and
about which we, as individuals, have
nothing to say. This is a mistaken
notion. While it is splendid to have
nature bless us with good physique,
the care and protection of this gift
Is our own responsibility.
Konjola is a new medical prepa-
ration that helps Nature keep the
inner organs of the human body
functioning properly; or if one is
suffering from disorders of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels,
or nervousness, rheumatism and
neuritis troubles, it will bring about
a new feeling of health and life
energy. The Konjola Man is at
Hooks drug store, Illinois and
Washington Sts., Indianapolis,
where he talks to men and women
in all walks of life every day and
explains to them the merits OF this
celebrated compound.
IT haven't had rheumatism since
I finished treatment Of Konjola,
over five months ago." states Mr..
Jesse Butler, well-known Indian
apolis citizen, living at 1919 Kappes
street, and employed by the Mar
mon Motor Company of this city.
Before I started with Konjola,
my health was in a terribly rundown
condition and was never able to
find anything to help me. My trou-
BILE started with sour, acid stom-
ach and in spite of the different
remedies I began taking in hope of
ending this unhealthy condition be-
fore it got too far, my health con-
tinued to go from bad to worse. My
stomach would bloat up to almost
twice it's normal size after eating
and I was subject to belching up
bits Of undigested food and hot,
bitter LIQUID that caused a burning
sensation from my throat to the pit
of my stomach. Then began suf-
fering from rheumatism. In damp.
rainy weather my whole body would
be affected and every joint would
feel sore and achy for days after
ward. Gnawing pains in my limbs
kept me awake.
'When L started to take Konjola.
I had only hoped it would end my
stomach trouble and didn't think it
would help all my trouble. I really
cid not expect it from single medi-
cine. 1t put my stomach in good
shape In such a short time that
was surprised and felt it would be
worth while to keep on taking this
medicine little while longer. Now,
am glad didn't stop as soon as it
relieved those awful stomach mis-
cries. Within two more weeks was
almost free Of every ache and pain
in my body and by the time I fin
ished the treatment, my health was
in better condition in every way
han 1t had been for several years
Konjola is a wonderful medicine
and I strongly indorse it."
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
Drug Store, Illinois and Washington:
streets, Indianapolis, where he is
daily meeting the public and intro
ducing and explaining the merits of
this remedy. Konjola is sold In
