time it appeared that Queen
Marie had succeeded in effeCting
an alliance between her house
and the HohenZollernS. This
romance, however. fell through,
and while no reason was ever
given officially for the breakup.
it is understood that religious
differences made the marriage
impossible.
1t was only a few months ago
when newspaper men talked to
Princess Ileana at her mothers s
country palace at Bacic on the
Black Sea and asked her about
her marriage plans. At that time
Princess Ileana naiVely replied
that it was harder for a princess
to find herself a husband than
an ordinary girl.
1t was often rumored that
during her recent tour of the
United States with Princess Ileana,
Queen Marie was not averse to
accepting an American Suitor for
her daughters hand, but the
Princess returned from this jour
ney still foot-loose and fancy free.
One thing that decided Queen
Marie in Count Alexander's favor
is that his mother, like herself,
is an Englishwoman by birth. The
Princess of PleSs was formerly
Mary Cornwallis-West, daughter
Of a distinguished British family
and in her youth one of the most
sought after young ladies of
Europe She is known through
out the world as Daisy, Princess
of Pless, by virtue of the re-
Vealing memoirs she wrote under
that name.
Princess Ileana is 81 years of
age, while the count is 25. He
was born in London. Their mar
riage will reduce the number of
unattached royal princesses in
Europe from eight to seven.
The date of the Forthcoming
marriage is expected to be made
known Saturday, when official
announcement of the bethrothal
is expected to be made by Queen
Marie.

PROMISE FIGHT.
OVER CUSTER
Of HERBERT
Continued From Page y

CONTINUED From Page y
Prohibition Commissioner Doran
is saying nothing and letting his
boss do the talking.
Lowman last night, answering
charges on the floor of the Sen
ate by Senators Wheeler and
Borah that Herbert has been
shown unfit for his job by the
Department of Justice inveStiga-
ton, denied that any charges had
ever been made against the for
mer Baltimore administrator.
When asked why Herbert had
been transferred at the same
time Quinn was discharged, Low
man stated that there vas fric-
ton with the United States dis
trict attorney at Baltimore"
Denied by WOodcock
This statement was flung back
at him by Amos w. W. Wood
cock, the district attorney IN
question, who denied positively
that there had ever been friction
between him and Herbert.
Wheeler yesterday lifted the
lid on the Herbert-Quinn matter,
which has been seething for sew
eral weeks, by referring to it in an
informal debate on the break
down of prohibition enforcement.
Wheeler declared that crooked
and incompetent enforcement Of
ficials are responsible for the
present prohibition situation and
placed the responsibility squarely
at the door of the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
He cited Herbert and Quinn as
recent examples and read from
Saturdays issue of The Washing
ton Times telling of Quinn's dis
charge from the service and the
effort of officials to keep it secret
by announcing that Quinn had
been transferred to Texas. The
article also pointed out that
Herbert, while denoted to Idaho,
was really in line for early dis
missal.
Borah broke into the debate
to state that a Departnen of
Justice agent had told him of
his findings in the matter and
that if the agents report was
true, Herbert should be dealt
with by grand jury instead of
being sent out to enforce pro-
hibition laws in Idaho and
Montana.

met a fellow photographer who
was leaving" Cauthen said. II
asked him if he obtained pictures.
No. and you better stay away,
those fellows of the airline are
aimed with axes and are likely
to beat you up" Cauthen said
he was told.
Il went on anyway. The Airline
employees were standing in groups
around the remains of the plane
which appeared to have been
chopped into small pices. Some
OF them we're using hacksaws to
cut the frame work of the cabin
to pieces.
Il heard two of the men talk,
ing. One of them said, You
shouldn't have said a word to that
photographer. You should have
picked up something and knocked
his brains out. We're not going
tC have any pictures of this
wreck and that's all there is to it. ;
Cause Is Disputed
Pending the verdict of an Of
ficial investigation, there was dis
agreement today as to the cause
of the crash. The plane, accord
ing to witnesses, made a wide
circle at an altitude of 400 feet
above the airport preliminary to
landing about $50 p. m. last
night.
Suddenly it Sideslipped and
plunged like dead weight toward
the earth. AS it neared the earth
in its fatal plunge, fire broke out.
A terrific explosion occurred as
the ship struck the ground.
The scared remains of the dead
were found in a grim huddle at
the front of the cabin, killed from
the impact of the crash.
AS quickly as the bodies were
removed, hastily mustered crew
of pilots and mechanics from the
Universal AirlineS began remoV-
ing all evidence of the accident,
savagely fighting off reporters
and photographers as they
worked.
The smoking frame of the ship
was torn apart with axes and
saws. Within an hour. all evi-
dence of the wreck had been
strewn about the corn field where
the plane crashed. Where the
ship had plowed up the soft soil
bonfire was built.
List of Dead
Only few scattered reminders
remained as evidence of the death
toll. A wonIan'S comb, a maga-
zine, a box of cold remedy and
a broken package of cigarettes
were scattered around where they
had fallen from the clothing of
the four men and the young
woman who met death.

shotgun loaded with bird shot.
The police detail carried theiI
service revolvers.
None of the policemen were
certain just what they saw
whether it was a panther OF a
large dog. They saw something,
however, as the barrage of ledG
they tossed at the animal bore
witness.
Earlier in the day Policeman
Watson Salkeld spotted the
panther" on the Bladensburg
Road near Fort Lincoln Gene
terry and fired two shots at it.
Neither took effect.
When the beast put in his ap,
pearance last night before the
Gordon of brasS-buttoned hunters
he apparently was untroubled by
the service revolvers. After the
shooting died down and the
panther" had gone over a fence
for the Home grounds. his tracks,
large as a mans hand. were fol
lowed for a mile. Then the trail
was lost.
An organized search will be
made today and tonight for the
beast, which, from present move
ments, is heading directly for
the heart of the residential sec
ton of the northwest near the
Soldiers Home.
Fear Attacks on Children
Police are all on the watch for
the temperance of the animal
and are frankly worried that he
might move from attacks on pigs
and chickens and turn in the
direction of children.
If the predatory beast does not
change his tactics he probably
will show up near the chicken
runs, dairy sheds or pig-penS at
the Soldiers Home grounds. These
places are all being watched.
Every precaution is being taken
by those searching for the Anlmal
TO keep him in the wooded sec
tion and prevent his moving into
the sections where he might at
tack and injure a person.
While panthers as rule are
timid, according to experts at the
National Museum, if they are
cut off from their natural prey
and become hungry, they are
likely to attack a person. After
all, according to these experts.
a big cat is a big cat with pr; Ia
tory instincts and when hungry
it is hard to tell what they
might do.
Report after report of the
panther" was sent into head
quarters yesterday. One report
had the animal in the vicinity of
La Plata, Md. where Mrs. Earl
Hayden declared she saw
beast kill a dog This was about
l a. m. yesterday. The claw
marks on the dog were similar
to those found on pigs slain by
the beast.
The distance from La Plata to
Washington is not so great that
panther or mountain lion could
not travel it in a few hours,
hunters aver. and place credence
in the report. as we'll as in the
report of the animal being in the
Soldiers Home Grounds.
The Lions Club of Silver
Spring, Md, has offered bounty
for the animal if it turns out to
be lion. Ten dollars has been
posted for the man who ends the
activities Of the marauder.
T. F. Harris, local hunter, has
suggested that bait loaded with
catnip be placed where the
panther is apt to come across it.
No matter how large the cat
he stated it will stop to sniff
catnip and by this means should
be caught.

since the brilliant opening in
the House of Lords just a week
ago today. There is some ques-
ton as to how the press repre-
sentation will be worked out, but
it is likely few neWspaptrmen
from each nation will be admit
ted to the conference. while the
others listen in by means OF an
amplifier arrangement in the big
press workroom.
No official explanation was
made as to the reason for call
ing the plenary session, but 1t
was beginning to be painfully
evidently that little progress was
recorded at the secret meetings
where all felt free to bring up
any questions they desired.
Forcing matters into the open
is expected to put the brake on
some questions which in Ameri-
can eyes are extraneouS and have
little bearing on the primary pur-
pose of the conference, which is
to limit auxiliary fleets.
Private Talks Continue
Meanwhile the private discus
sions are to continue among the
heads Of the delegations. Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald is
to meet the japanese and French
delegates at different hours this
afternoon at his chambers in the
House of Commons, where the
parliamentary situation is at pres
ent keeping him occupied.
1t is understood that the
plenary session will consider the
appointment of a committee to
furnish a report to the full con-
ference methods of reaching
naval limitation, either by global
or categorical allotments. Premier
Macdonald discussed the present
progress of the parley at a lunch
con with Secretary Stimson at
the Ritz Hotel today.
The sharp Franco-Italian CON
troVersy which is already raging
before the adoption of he
agenda is regarded as merely
prelude to the even sharper fight
that will come when the confer
ence gets down to deciding bigger
questions than Franco-ItalIan
parity.
In this manner the vagaries
and jealousies of European poll
tics are holding up the most i'm,
portant work of the conference
which includes the ratification of
the cruiser agreement reached by
President Hoover and Premier
Macdonald. the settlement of
Japan'S naval armament ratio and
broadly the limitation of all cate
gorieS not provided for at the
Washington conference.
U. S. Delegates Bored
The Americans are bored by the
proceedings but helpless. Inevit-
ably, the Franco-Italian contro-
Versy brings up the question Of a
Mediterranean pact with all those
concerned boxing toward the
United States for support.
To the americans, the contro-
verSy is one with which they
are not concerned. 1t is not
likely, therefore, that Secretary
Stimson will take sides with
either the French or Italians to-
day.
1t is g-nerally felt that the
French have a stronger basis for
their viewpoint as far as respec-
tive naval claims go. This may
prove an important factor in the
discussions today.

make his resignation possible.
The question of whether or not
he should continue was submitted
to II army officers and they were
told to render their decisions by
telegraph to Madrid.
The report that De Rivera had
resigned naturally indicated that
these officers had wired that they
believed the best interests of the
country could be served only by
De RiVera'S resignation.
Fears were expressed that if the
vote were adverse Spain would
