BUCHAREST, Rumania, June 10.
D-The coronation of Carol II as
king of Rumania will be delayed

today as the newly-proclaimed
monarch speeded efforts to complete
establishment of a new government.
There are various obstacles in the
way of his formal ascension to the
throne. some of which he started
Immediately to remove. A state
ment by Madame Magda Lupescue,
for whom Carol deserted the throne
FIVE years ago. was published in the
Bucharest press today. declaring she
had sacrificed" herself in the in
tereSts of the nation.
A reconciliation with his former
wife, Princess Helene, appeared
much more difficult than had been
anticipated. Also the liberal party
opposition to his return has not en-
tirely vanished. although the king
acted Immediately to complete the
rout of his political foes. He also
strengthened the royal family's
unity and position by giving his
brother, Prince Nicholas, the high
est rank as inspector of the ma
tons armed forces and by a ges-
ture to win hack Princess Helen.

GIRL WHO DATED
OWNER OF TORCH
CAR is MISSING
Detectives Seek Waitress in
Hope of Learning VAL
liable CIeW.

Miss Gene Carson, 25, waitress in
a South Illinois street restaurant,
who had date with Harold Herbert
Schroeder, 35-year-old Mobile, Ala,
business man. two nights before his
car wsN found blazing on May 81,
with a mans cllarred body on the
High School road, has been missing
since Sunday.
Detectives, seeking to question her
as to details Of her night ride with
Schroeder to Danville and return,
in which they passed within
quarter of a, mile of the torch
murder scene, found she has failed
to- return to her work, at the
restaurant, although she did not
quit the position. She also has failed
to- return to her room, the address
of which detectives refuse to
divulge.
Detectives believe some details of
her conversation with Schroeder
may give them the needed clew to
his rooming place while he was in
indianapolis before the torch MUIR
der.
Blanket Is Examined
While the search was under way
for the girl, a blanket microscopic
examination was made of the
blanket which Schroeder carried in
his car and which was thrown, with
the raincoat he wore, over the fence
in the rear OF a South Senate ave-
nue. automobile shop after Schroe-
der's car was found.
The examination revealed black
hairs such as Schroeder had and
also revealed red hairs, similar to
those found on the charred body of
the torch murder victim.
Believing Schroeder had roomed
near the South Illinois street restau-
rant, where he ate, and where he
made a date with the waitress, police
checked rooming houses and hotels
in the vicinity without avail. Com
parison of hotel registers with sig
natures of Schroeder was in vain.
Report of DR.. r. N. Harger, toxi-
cologist of the Indiana university
hospital, on analysis of scrap of
cloth found on the burned body of
the man was awaited today. The
tests will determine, it is hoped,
whether the material is the same as
that of Schroeder's coat, found near
the blazing car when it was discov-
cred on the High School road the
morning after the Speedway races.
Tests Regarded Important
The tests also may determine what
chemical was used toNinsure COM
plete destruction of the body. Ordi-
nary fire would not char a human
body to such an extent that bones
would be burned away, authorities
point out.
With several detectives clinging
to belief the body is that of Schroe-
der and that he was the victim Of
a robbery and murder, the tests are
regarded as important.
Coroner G. H. Keever, Sheriff
George Winkler and others contend
Schroeder is alive and that the
burning of the body in his car is
phase of an insurance fraud plot to
permit collection of his more than
$4,000 insurance by his wife while
he carried out previously-ex-
pressed desire to disappear"

CINCINNATI, June 10.-A cru
ss@ into the world of finance by
4. w. Shsfer, 36-year-old, $75-a-
week district sales manager of
Henry L. Doherty g. Co., resulted
today in the closing of a hank here
and revelations that he may have
embezzled more than $1,000,000.
While depositors milled about the
darkened doors of the Cosmopolitan
Bank and Trust Company, through
which Shafer handled his alleged
manipulation, Shafer was arraigned
charged with specific embezzlement
of S1o,162.50 and released on bond
pending action by the county grand
jury.
Bond was posted by his compare
lively wealthy father, o. j. Shafer,
president of the Slafer Pattern
Works, who revealed his son had
been "bucking" the stock market
for some time. Young Shafer re-
fused to discuss his arrest.
Native of Cincinnati
Shafer is a native Cincinnatian.
He was educated in the public
schools here and is unmarried.
He entered the employ of the Do
herty company, which deals in Cities
Service Company stock, eight years
ago and became so proficient he
was advanced to the post Of district
sales manager, whose duties 1nclude
the collection and disbursement OF
thousands of dollars.
His first action today was to en-
ploy an attorney. The bank, mean
time. was taken over by the state
and corps of auditors were rushed
in by the Doherty company to check
Skaters accounts, which were de-
scribed as "hopelessly entangled."
No Disorder at Bank
Depositors gathered in groups be-
fore the bank and les suburban
branches, but there was no disorder,

holders.
County Prosecutor Nelson SchWab
said preliminary investigation indi-
Gated the accused man had stolen
money and negotiable securities and
worked an alleged check game that
involved both good and bad checks.
He said he was unable to deter
mine, as yet, how far back Skaters
alleged defalcations extended but
expressed the belief they could be
traced to the collapse of the stock
market last fall.
Both the bank and the Doherty
company are protected by indemnity
bonds but whether the bonds will
be sufficient TO cover the alleged
speculations could not be deter
mined.

plank in the Democratic plat
from when it was read to the
1,544 delegates in Cadle tab

This plank was followed by an
other condemning the placing of
100000 emergency fund in the
hands of the Governor without
check or control.
No intimation that such planks
were being considered was made by
members of the advisory committee.
Despite efforts of various leaders
of the liberal element in the party
to have the platform declare for
either referendum on the wet and
dry question or modification of the
prohibition law, no action was taken
by the committee.
Demand Registration Law
The Democratic platform as draft
ed, however, accedes to the major
portion of demands made.
1t provides specific remedy for
the tax situation through an income
tax, although leaving the field open
for other remedial measures.
The platform demands a registra-

mands of liberals in condemning the
yellow dog contract, urges Limitation
by statute of the use Of the i'm

Recommending that inmates Of

products of known labor should not
be thrown upon the market to COM

Condemn State Police
The Republicans are condemned
for slow farm relief, tariff failure
and for not averting the financial

permitting the special interests to
plumber the people.
Use of the state police by the
secretary of state to build up
political machine is condemned and
he is charged with causing the
neglect of the proper duties Of those
departments under his Jurisdiction.
Abolition of the fee system of
payment for county officers is
recommended.
The public service commission
should protect the public from un-
just rates and be composed of mem
bers who will carry out their duties

clared.
Control of municipally-own
