PRINCES PREPARE
FOR INDIA FARLEY
London Gathering Includes
"Mr. A." Who Figured in
Badger Game Suit.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associeted PfeSs.
LONDON, october 25.-Princes Of
India, whose combined wealth and
power would defy calculation, gathered
their policies in the Forthcoming round
table conference on India.
Among them we're the Maharajas Of
Jummah and Kashmir, of Birkamer,
Of Alwar, Of Nawanagar, Of Rewa and
Of Dholpuf.
In this distinguished group the best
known figure was the Maharaja OF
Kashmir.- who presided over today's
session. London and most of the world
would remember him In connection
with the adventure Of q fabulouisly rich
young potentate, then Sir Hari singh
heir to the Kashmir throne, in a law
case which was the sensation Of i've
years ago.
Famous Az ''NKr. A.
He was the famous "Mr. A" In the
trial Of an Sction brought by Charles
Robinson, husband 81 the supposed
woman In the case, against the Mid
land Bank for the recovery Of part OF
$4,000 hush money" rnulcted In q
badger game at Paris.
Court witnesses testified that "Mr. A"
was found In o Paris hotel room with
Mrs. Robinson and that her husband
was impersonated by Montague Noel
Newton, extracting two checks Of $780,
900 each, one of which was cashed and
all but $4,000 Of 1t deposited In the
Midland Bank.
Testify 70 Forgery.
william G. Hobbs, IL was testifed,
obtained the money from the Midland
Bank by forging Robinson's signature,
thus garnering most Of the cash the
Rajah thought he was paying to an
injured husband. Robinson sued the
bank for 100000. A London jury es-
tablished the fact that Robinson and
Mrs. Robinson were not parties to the
swindle. The jury was unable to agree
on the liability Of the bank.
"Mr. A" then was in India, content
to stand his loss and keep his name
secret for reasons OF state. There was
fear for b time that he might lose his
chance to succeed to the throne.

MACDONALD DENIES
CHANGE OF POLICY
Explains Governments Pal
eStine Action in Cable to
Gen. SHUTS.
BY the Associated Press.


CAPETOWN, South Africa, october
25.-Denial that Britain's recent state
nent Of policy in Palestine constituted
retreat from the Balfour declara-
ton" was cabled today by Prime Min
ister Ramsay Macdonald to Gen. Jan
Christian SHUTS, former premier Of
South Africa.
Gen. SHUTS, member of the war
time imperial cabinet that drafted the
declaration, had previously sent a ca
blegram to Prime Minister Macdonald
expressing perturbation over the terms
Of the statement.
On receipt of Mr. MacDonald's reply
today. explicitly saying the statement
cannot fairly be described as retreat
from the Balfour declaration" Gen.
SHUTS sent another message to Lon
don expressing appreciation of the
prime minister's prompt and complete
answer.
Reaffirms Objections.
He reaffirmed, however, his objec-
lions to the statement issued by the
colonial Office under Lord Passfield and
indicated his disagreement with Mr..
MacDonalds views as to its effect on
the spirit of the Balfour declaration.
He said he hoped Mr.. MacDonald's
cable would remove some of the mis-
conception"
II especially welcome your assurance"
he said. that recent statements do not
definitely crystallize the government s
policy on the national home, as my i'm
preston remains that both as regards
land purchase and immigration the
statement does not correspond to the
active obligation for a Jewish national
home undertaken in the Balfour decla-
ration"
Gen. SHUTS thought the declaration
represented debt OF honor that must
be discharged in full at all costs.
Mr.. Macdonald said he believed the
generals perturbation had been caused
by the 1ncompleteness Of cabled reports
Of the statement.
Takes Up Cause Of Arabs.
Taking up the cause Of the Arab pop
ulAtion OF Palestine, he said, THE Bal
four declaration explicitly provided
that nothing should be done which
might prejudice the civil and religious
rights Of the existing non-Jewish COM
munities in Palestine.
THE British government has affirmed
the view Endorsed by the Permanent
Mandates Commission Of the Council Of
the League, that the obligations laid
down in the mandate as regards two
sections Of the population are of equal
weight.
You also recall that the Permanent
Mandates Commission expressed the
view that had the mandatory govern
ment concerned itself more closely with
the social and economic adaptations of
the Arab population to the new condi-
tons due 10 Jewish immigration, it
would have served the interest Of both
sections Of the population"
He reaf1rmed the principle that Jew
ish immigration should not exceed the
economic capacity Of the country to alb
serb new workers. but denied the state
nlent involved stoppage or suspension
Of colonization on the large amount Of
land still undeveloped and already In
Jewish ownership.

rain AND HAIL MAR
PRINCESS WEDDING
Gar Boris and His Bride
Leave Assist for Trip on
Royal Yacht.

BY the Associated Press.
ASSIST. italy. october 2s.-Csax
Boris III Of Bulgaria and Princess
Giovanni Of italy were married in the
Church Of St. Francis this morning a.
q tempestuous hail and rain storm ragged
outside.
Fate tossed O monkey wrench into the
machinery Of intricate court arrange
ments for the wedding and the 32-year.
old princess cried bitterly during the
ceremony, for worse marriage weather
could not have been imagined.
But when the ceremony was over the
bride recovered her usual difnpled smile
as she walked across the piazza in
pelting storm 50 that her people might
bid her godspeed and farewell.
The hitch in the arrangements re-
suited from the fact that three royal
trains, bearing members Of the wedding
party. pulled In late from Pisa, despite
the fact that they had clear tracks and
the right Of way.
Mussolini PAGES Platform.
Anxious dignitaries, including Premier
Mussolinia, paced the platform nervous
" in the meantime, knowing from
watching the sky what was coming.
Just as the trains pulled in drizzle
began and the royal perSonages got into
closed motor cars for the trip UP the
hill along streets lined with troops.
This protected them for the moment,
but as the cars pulled up to the basilicA
Of st. Francis the drizZle turned to Q
torrent. Princess Giovanni alighted
and, although anxious hands held UNI
brellas over her, her beautiful white
wedding gown was considerably damp
ened.
In the resulting confusion many Of
the cars were unable TO drive close 10
the church and their occupants were
thoroughly drenehed before they reach
ed shelter.
Assist site In 0 high altitude and Q
sudden cold snap turned the peltine
rain to hail before King Boris could ret
inside the church. Thus. between the
rain and han, nearly all Of those who
made the trip from the station were
either soaked or battered by hailstones.
Low Mass Omitted.
The ceremony itself, performed BY
Father Risso, was brief, but impressive.
later than scheduled the low mass
which had been planned to follow the
ceremony was omitted at the last mo-
ment
After the ceremony the princess bride
and her husband boarded their royal
train and headed for Brindisi, where
they will embark tomorrow aboard the
Bulgarian royal yacht Gear Ferdinand.
This will take them through the Adri-
attic, Ionian, Aegean and Black Seas
TO. Bulgaria, where they will arrive with
In q week.
when the young King Boris reaches
his homeland he viii have his long de-
ferred coronation and Princess Giovan-
ma, at "a years Of age, viii become the
queen Of Bulgaria.

the auditor totals these requests and
makes them public. This Is the last
Authentic information the taxpayers
receive until the first Monday In each
December, when the details Of the
budget are made public In the report
Of the Budget Director to Congress.
In the intervening six months, when
the budget Is being made up, the
auditor makes up his estimate of the
available revenue during the year being
budgeted. The Commissioners decide
how much they are going to recon-
mend TO the Budget Bureau. They
scale down the requests of the depart
nlent heads to meet this figure. The
Commissioners figures then 70 to the
Budget Bureau, where lengthy hearings
ere held and usually further scaling
DOWN s accomplished. But of all this
the taxpayers know nAught, oficially,
save by way Of rurnors.
One That Was Reversed.
OF those which leaked out this year
enc OF the strangest, from the tax
pAyers' point of view, was that the city
heads were basing their budget on an
expected Federal contribution of slQ,-
600 900, plus q tax rate during 1882
q 81 80. per 500 Of assessed valuation
This report was duly confirmed, but
later came another report that the
Budget Bureau had told the Commits
etoners that they must not base their
budget on any Federal contribution In
excess of $4,000. 900, the amount Of the
1891 contribution.
vOn october IL came the disclosure
that the Commissioners had much more
Money actually to their credit in the
Treasury than they had thought; that
- would be unnecessary to raise the taS
rate In 1882; that even with the present
tax rate they would probably close the
current fiscal year with surplus a
g, 800 900 on their budget as now be-
fore the Budget Bureau. No one at thu
