KING CAROL AND
 ALL ROYALTY IN RUMANIA TO DIE
Konrad BercOvici, Novel Writer, Went Down to New York, From Conn Farm to Tell About It
BY H. ALLEN SMITH

Limited Press Staff COrFespOndent)
 New York, May 14--Revolution is almost certain in Rumania, with the distinct possibility that members of the royal family will lose their lives in the fare-up, according to Konrad Bercovici, native of King Carols country who has gained quite repu- tation for himself in the United States as a writer of novls and short stories.
 Bercovici came down from his view. He wore a steel vest, which he says is a protection against Ruman- ian bullets, because he has written a book exposing a great many secrets of the manarchy. Already, he claims, his life has been threatened score of times, and once two Rumanian ruffians hoped on him and gave him a severe beating on the out skirts of Central park.
 "Rumania's royal family" he said, twill pass from the political scene be fore 1891 has passed. And I con-, slider 1t extremely. possible that they will pass out of earthly existence at the same time."
 The Rumanian people, Bercovici explained, are hot-headed lot. King Carol holds it in his power, he be- lieves, to save himself and the other members of his family. He can abdi- cate and declare republic, with him. self at its head as president, if he wants to. But unless he does that, he stands good chance of ,"getting his throat cut" Bercovici said.
 Bercovici has written many books and stories about Rumania, and he has become quite famous for his tales of the country's peasant and Gypsy life. Since the war he has spent four or five months of each year in Rumania, and he feels that he knows the bent of the Ruman- ans mind. "I know one thing" he said, "They're sick of their royal family"
 Queen Marie and Prince Coral, and the others" he said, "have made comic opera out of Rumania. Americans think that all Rumanians are like Queen Marie and the oth- CTS. But they are far. from that. The Rumanian people are starving.
 While there exists a possibility that Russia might gain a foothold in Rumania and make the country communistic. Bercovici believes a republic is at hand. But there will be difficulties," he said, "what ever happens. The situation is extremely dangerous. The moment republic is declared there's going to be a squab- ble. Russia and Austria and Hungary and Germany may be in it. They'll all claim they have part of the country coming to them. The thing has potential dynamite in it. It might touch off another great war. And Carol can avert it."

 Congressman Goss explained that according to the finding of the com mission, rates on tank car loads or gasoline and fuel oil will be re- duced approximately $50 per car. He offered as an example the cast per car under the present rates and the cost per car under the new rates whcih the commission Is expected to announce by next winter.
 The rates are based on cents per one hundred pounds. The present rate is 27 cents per 100 pounds on gasoline and fuel oil.

.stitutions. The authorities ascribed the footing and burning to the erst- while monarch's activities.
 An official degree was issued last night empowering the minister of finance, lndalecia Prieto, urgently to appropriate everything in the kings private fortune in Spain." It was estimated that Alfonso's estates and other properties would exceed $1O,0O0,O00 in value.
 The most valuable is the royal palace at Santander, in the north, which was personal gift to Alfonso by the citizens of Santander. The other royal palaces are the pro- perty of the crown.
 The decree followed a statement by the prosecutor-general of the republic, who said the government was investigating whether Alfonso could be held responsible for inter- vening in governmental matters. The inquiry would be made also into the motives of recent visits with AL fonso made by the Marques Luca De Tena, publisher of the newspaper "ABC" now in jail.
 Perfect tranquility now exists throughout Spain, Niceto Alcala Za- mora, president of the council of ministers, said to-day in announcing general elections June 21 or 2S. Many monks and nuns have re- mained in their convents, he said.
 Alcala Zamora expressed the opinion that the recent disturbances originated among the monarchists, whereupon extremists seized the op- portunity to spread disorders.
 That must not be taken as imply ing any alliance, the president made clear, but was a mere coincidence, with both factions desiring to dis credit the republican government; he said he was unable to tell whether Alfonso had been involved in the plotting; but the former mon- arch was doubtless acquainted with the monarchists' intentions.
 The president lamented that the government had been taken by sur prise in Madrid, but he pointed out that those guilty of negligence have been punished.

 Sir Thomas observed his Sist birthday last Sunday. Despite ms age, he has announced that he hopes to make one more try for the Amer. ica's cup, which he has failed to hlt in i've previous attempts. :,
 Lipton's election to the Royal Squadron ends years of speculation about his non-m membership. Some persons said the squadron never ln- vited membership but always re- quired an application, and that Lip, ton had never applied. Others sald he had desired for years to belong and had actually been proposed py King Edward. who was reported to have been greatly offended by Lip- toms non-election. In recent years the Royal Squadron appeared to have relaxed somewhat its strict ex- clusivity and Lipton's election had been expected for some time.

Windsor.-James Grant is lucky. But his luck won't do him any good, for even if he returns to claim a $25,000 legacy willed him, he must face a prison sentence.
 Grants father willed him the money while he was in prison. Some of his relatives was let out on parole to fight contested the will and Grant the case.
 before 1t could be validated, Grant skipped his parole. If he had remain ed he would have found that the second will also left the bulk of his fathers estate to him. Now both the police and local firm of lawyers are looking for him-each with diff ferent motive, however.

Turks, Turning Modern, to Drop Friday
AS Day of Rest for Efficiency's Sake

ISTANBUL, Turkey.-Turkey having
realized that she is losing forty-eight
days year by keeping the Moslem Sab
bath and resting on Friday instead of
Sunday, has decided to change the day
of rest and prayer. The Turk will
either close shop on Sunday, together
with millions of Christians, or will wake
up TO find his Friday disguised as Sun
day by a government that has ac-
complished even more astonishing
things.
When Turkey adopted the European
calendar the Arabic numerals and the
Latin alphabet, there was also a strong
rumor that Friday would lose its all i'm
portant meaning as the day of rest
for Turks. Although the question was
then discussed at length the change
was not made. Perhaps the religious
element was considered and the tho !ght
of adopting the Christian Sunday as
the holy day of rest for 1000, 900
Moslem Turks seemed too bold at that
time.
Yet this is not a religious question
%he Moslem religion orders one day of
rest, when the Moslem is TO devote a
lengthy prayer TO Allah. Whether that
prayer Is said on Friday or any other
day Of the week is not important.
