BORIS WEDS AS
STORM RACES

ASSIST, italy, Oct. 25 GN.S0.
Beneath the beautiful freScoed
dome of the ancient Church of
st. Francis, Princess Giovanna Of
Italy became the worlds youngest
Queen today as the wife OF King
Boris III of Bulgaria.
Despite the wishes of all to have
the ceremony simple in the ex-
extreme, the presence of the en-
tire Italian and Bulgarian royal
families, the women in flowing
gowns and the men in magnificent
uniforms, was sufficient to make
the ceremony a thing OF impress
Sive splendor.
The religious ceremony was per-
formed by Father RisSo, cuSto-
dian of the Franciscan community
and rector of the ancient church,
built in the year 1928.
Storm Strikes City
A terrific storm broke over
Assist just as the last group in
the bridal procession entered the
church.
The silks and satins of royalty
barely escaped the driving rain,
wind and hail which swept with
whiStling force from the snow
covered heights. The squall ragged
almost throughout the churc h
ceremony.
The enormous crowds which
pressed in solid ranks about the
church entrance refused to bulge,

TAX|CAB zones
STANDARDIZED

Confusion in the minds of
patrons of the flat-rate cabs in
Washington as to how far they
can ride without having to pay in
creased fare will be eliminated by
a plan adopted today by six of the
leading cab companies of the city.
After a series of conferences be-
tween the heads of the leading
white and colored cab concerns
and Richmond Keech, Peoples
Counsel, before the Public Utili-
ties Commission, a standardized
zoning of the city has been agreed
upon and maps showing the va
rious zones have been printed. 1t
is planned to post these maps
conSpicuously in every Gao oper-
ated by the agreeing companies,
so that passengers may see just
how far their fare will take them.
The city has been divided into
four zones. The first, embracing
the principal business section of
the District, is designated as the
35 cent zone, and an additional
25 cents is charged for each zone
in addition to the first. The
fourth zonn cor~'~ts of the Blue
2lains section only.
It is brouo1t OFT that, as long
IS e cab remains within the zone
where it picks up a fare. the first
zone rate is charged. AS soon
as it crosses into another zone,
however, the rate increases to so
cents, and crossing the next
zone line again increases the fare.

I'VE can not face a hard

that will rejuvenate business here.
Bishop Mcdowell was followed
closely in his support Of the

church men in the city, whose
expressions follow
The Rev. James e. Freeman,
Episcopal Bishop of Washington:

idea. / am heartily in favor Of
such a campaign. But I also
suggest that, although we con,

movement at this time, we
make it a continuing cOndi-

of making just a superficial
spurt."
The Rev. Earle Whitley, pastor
Of the National City Christian
Church:

proposal of the attorneys Of Her

accused of Staying Mary Baker,

clared that his intention OF
having Col. Calvin Goddard
demonstrate his ballistic expert
ness before the Baker case jury
would be carried out.
The proposal made by Mr.. Col.
Inns, which was hastily accepted
by the defense yesterday, called
for a test of Colonel Goddard's
ability to trace certain bullets to
certain guns ( 1t was proposed
to have the ballistic expert fire
bullets from seven to ten re-
volvers In the presence Of the

back to the revolyera by mark,

Counter Proposal
Charles Henry Smith, chief de.

posed that bullets be fired from
the supposed death gun only, and
then tests would be made on
them by DR.. Albert Hamilton, de-
fense firearms expert, 20 prove
that the bullets did not CORE
spond with the lethal ones.
Then Colonel Goddard would
make tests in an effort TO prove
that these tests bullets were cimi-

The nationwide response to the
call for unemployment relief has
been instantaneous, constructive
and highly satisfactory. Col.
Arthur Woods, Federal employ
ment administrator, announced
this afternoon.
In the past 48 hours, he said,
literally thousands of kilograms
and letters have poured into his
headquarters here from business,
Industrial and charity leaders
pledging their" cooperation in the
Governments campaign to relieve
the stringency of present condi-
tions.
A campaign to have industry
pledge that no employees will be
released until the unemployment
crisis is past, Is under considera-
tion by the Presidents committee.
The appointment of Frederick
C. Croxton, of Columbus, Ohio,
as regional director for the Mid
die. West, is a forerunner of the
appointment of others. The or
ganization probably will be car
ried further by the appointment
of press agents to work under the
regional directors.
No job will be too small to be
acceptable. If the housewives of
the country can be enlisted to
give a days work here and there,
that will help in the emergency,
1t was said. Every agency, large
and small, that can give work is
asked to do so.
One measure of relief, from
which Colonel Woods expects far
reaching results, is the approval
by the voters of many States No
vember 4, of bond issues totaling
$450, ,000,O 900.

Trout Fishing Reported Good; Local Sportsmen Out in Force

| Icording to a record kept by one Of
 the officials. An average of 25 or 30 have been fishing these since the opening day, it was reported.
 Rainbow trout, the prize in every
 fsherman's collection. have been seen often this year. The man who
 caught the 20 trout had two of this type in his collection. Another man
 had four. There have been sever-
 al trout weighing ] 1-2 pounds caught. The average catch, accord ing 10 MT. Monier is from nine to
 F inches in length. The minimum limit is six inches but few take less
 than seven inches, he said.
 It is Mir. Monier's opinion that
 nine of 10 trout fishermen in town went out the opening day. The 10th stayed home either because he was
 sick in bed or his wife would not
 let him go. Mir Monier talked brief. ly about the amusing side of the
 sport in the following statement:
 '"Eyery trout fisherman gets st least one good duckihg during the season and most of them get it on
 the opening day when they are not accustomed to slippery rocks at the bottom of the streams. I received
 my ducking on the opening day. l Everything is taken in good sport" |"

Never in years has trout fishing been as good as it is this year, in the opinion of Fred Monicr, one of the best posted New Britain sports men.
 The limit Of one-half pound fish is 20 and MT. Monier knows of on2 nimrod who caught the limit on his first day. Many others about town have records which compare favor ably with that one.
 Some of the streams about which much was expected failed 10 give their usual supply but other streams were far better than fishermen an- ticipatcd. The state stocked streams have been above the ordinary this year, in the opinion of Mir. Monict. According to local enthusiasts the first days in a stocked stream are always better for fishermen who are anxious for a large catch. The fish are inclined 10 stay in groups but later when it has been found neces sary for them to hurry about for their food they separate and are harder 10 catch.
