New Orleans, La, Feb 17-(UP)-- The negroes of New Orlians were holding their own Mardi Gras to- day, as thousands of negro merry makers crowded the narrow streets of their own quarter to greet King Zulu, monarch of their dusky carni- val.
 The celebration centered around an undertaking esta blishment. in Jackson avenue, where a large elec- tric eye winked above the cheerful slogan We've Got Our Eye On You"
 But the proximity of this grisley remainder could not dampen the king, who was presented the keys of the city, directly beneath it. King Zuiu arrived without queen and when questioned disclaimed in- terest in the dusky maidens who crowded around the throne and the undertaking establishment. No queen fo' me because I'm all through with women" Zulu declared. He indicated, however. that he might be induced to choose a damsel for himself later in the day.
 At 10 o'clock today. Long before the Mardi Gras pageants of the white people began, the Zulu king arrived abroad his royal (coaD barge in a canal near the Union Station.
 This year the king was Allen Leon, steward. Former Kings of Zulu have been barbers, undertakers, Stevedores and walters. King Zulu today was accompanied by three cx-kings, all who could be rounded lp at the moment. They were dressed. or rather undressed as savages, with grass skirts and much green and red paint smeared about here and there on their bod ies. The king fouHished the jaw bone of an ass.
 The Royal Barge '"The Clara Belp' tied up near the station and the king alighted to ride upon three somewhat sketchily decorated floats. all representing jungle scenes. with palms and aligators prominently upon an elephant. The cheering was loud and lusty as the parade got underway.
 Six outr!ders won acclaim in full evening dress and high silk hats. Each carried a stuffed rooster on his shoulder.
 One ri ]er. bestride a mule, played upon a fiddle and proved a popular figure.
 The parade with its garish floats passed slowly down Rampant street. the Broadway of the New Orleans negro-to the clubhouse in Gravier street where a ball was held, The ball was to last all day and far into the night. Only negroes attend. Few white penetrate the black belt to see this ball, still marked with many early negro tribal characteristics.

 Five thousand dollars of the $40,- 900 will re used in buying material for new houses at the reformatory. The remaining $35.00t will be used for material for the marker shop. It will be noted that no money is asked for in the appropriation 10 pay help at work on the new col struction work. This is due to the fact that it is planned to have the inmates It the reformatory do all the work. This will save the state thousands of dollars.

 Madrid, Feb 17.--(UP)-Don Jose his efforts to form . cabinet to suc- ceed that of Premier General Damaso Berenguer, resigned.
 He advised King Alfonso to ask Mclquiades Alvartez to form new government. 4
 Aware is leader of the reformist party which, like the constitutional- ists of Sanchez Guerra, desires 10 call an assembly to change the 1876 constitution. with restrictions on the kings power.
 The failure of Sanchez Guerra was a surprise inasmuch as he had an- nounced when he left his home to go to the palace that his cabinet was completed. AHA f9sa ht
 Everything now depends on the king" he had said. a
 However, when the former premier left the palace after about half an hour with King Alfonso, he describ- ed his abandonment of efforts to form a cabinet as due to failure ito obtain the support of certain fac tions."
 T declined to form government because l am man of the right" he said. T was unable to obtain the support of certain factions which are considered Indispensable to the cabinet in view of the most grave situation at present.
 II advised the king to call Alvarez, who surely will have the support of these factions
 Sanchez Guerra is of the left wing of the monarchist or conservative groups.
 Should the king call Alvarez t would mean the new cabinet would go a little further to the left. thus breaking still further away from the conservative factions which most firmly support King Alfonso.
 It was believed Sanchez Guerra 3 failure was partly due to the opposi- tion of socialists because of the former premier's vigorous opposition to the socialist revolutionary strike of 1917. S -.,
 Don Melquiades Alvarez Con- zalez, who was suggested for the premiership by Sanchez Guerra, Is one of the greatest orators in Spain. He was a foe of the dictatorshlp set up under leadership of the late General Primo De Rivera in 1923 and protested to the king against the arbitrary regime. "'

Larklll Bills Later

Hartford, Feb 17-Hearings on bills sponsored by Attorney William J. Larkin, Jr, of Waterbury and af- fecting the court of common pleas of that city will be held next Friday afternoon. One bill calls for an in- crease in salary for Judge Miles Me- Ntf. His present compensation is $4,0O0 per annum. The bill pro- poses to increase it to $6,0OO.
 Another bill of Attorney Larkin makes 1t necessary that the judges of the court of common pleas con- cur in the appointment of the pros- ecuting attorney and the clerk of that tribunal. At present the power is invested in the senior judge. The author of the bill apparently antici- pates the appointment of democrat judge might jeopardize his chances of being renamed as prosecuting at- torney. He also favors the appoint ment of judges by the general as- sembly rather than by the governor as has been the custom for many years.

The courage of Policeman V.

wrestling a gun form a colored
man whom ne was arreSting, was
highly commended today by Judge

The man. Moses P. Owens. col

Policeman F. j. RoWen for a

a. the policeman's head. Vaughn
stood still for several minutes.
With a sudden dive he closed
with his prisoner. pushing the
gun into the air and twisting him
around so that he was poWerlesS.
Judge Given sentenced Owens
to 800 days in jail. He said:
This officer showed bravery

Word reached the capitol that

War Department Lies
in Declaration TIL a t
u. S. Lags in Planes

F. Trubee Dawson, Assistant Sec
retary Of War for Aviation presented
a report to the War Department in
which he states that the United
States is far behind other powers in
the building of fighting planes.
Dawson is liar! About four months
ago, Moffett, Chief of the Bureau of
Aeronautics stated that the navy was
a year ahead Of its five year building
program. The army also had such
a program of which four-fifths was
completed in June. In six months of
this year Dawson ordered 426 planes
The United States spends more
money for arms than any nation in
the world and the present declaration
Is the forerunner for requests for
still more arms. The increased ef-
ficiency of the army planes is evident
In the fact that deaths fell from So
to 2s last year despite the increase Of
7l,7s7 flying hours.
