ABOARD SIAMESE ROYAL
TRAIN EN- ROUTE TO SCAR
BOROUGH, N. 2, April 20-King
Prajadhipok, ninety eight-pound
Monarch Of Siam, came to the
United States today, crossing the
Canadian border at Portal, N. D.. in
a strange midnight ceremony that
combined the dignities Of a state
reception with the frank curiosity
Of northwest farm town.
In e. corner of the observation car
of a Canadian Pacific special train
sat the frail potentate About the
car stood his majesty's brown
skinned aids and coated,
sombreroed Canadian mounted po-
lice, the later taking their leave of
the royal encourage at the border,
after guarding the party eastward
from British Columbia.
Watches Driving Snow
From his solarum window, the
king looked out wide-eyed upon the
midnight assemblage. A northwest
wind which had been kicking up
squalls Of dust all days was now
driving fakes of snow against the
glass Of the observation car.
Youthful King Prajadhipok, ruler
of 100000 souls in tropical Siam,
seemed to shrink farther and far
ther back into his corner.
Finally the Canadian representa-
tives bowed their way out, the king
remaining seated, smiled at the de-
parting guests and then looked seri-
ously again at the crowd and the
storm. NOW the signal came for the
United States to extend its official
welcome to the first Asiastic mon
arch ever to visit this country.
Up the rear steps Of the car
climbed Richard Southgate, per-
sonal representative Of President
and Mrs. Hoover. The king rose
from his chair and acknowledged
Southgate's bow.
Brings Hoover's Greetings
IT have been directed" southgate
said, "by the President to extend to
your majesty and to her majesty
the queen, q most cordial welcome
to the United States and to assure
your majesties Of the pleasure with
which the people of this country
will receive their royal visitors.
1.-THE President and Mrs. Hoover
trust that your najesties' stay in
this country will in every way be
enjoyable, and they ask me to say
that they are looking forward with
the keenest anticipation to your
majesties' visit to Washington -
King Prajadhipok and his attrac-
tive Queen Rambi will be re-
ceived at the White House in
Washington within a week after
they reach Scarborough, N. Y, their
present destina ton. Later, his ma
1esty will undergo an operation for
the removal of a cataract which has
blinded his left eye, that being the
main purpose of his visit to the
United States.
Queen Randi remained in ner
compartment during the ceremonies
at Portal. Her father, his royal
highness, Prince Svasti, said she
had contracted cold while riding
through Canada in temperatures far
below those Of the Malay peninsula.

Antlers hotel.
'HTake the legion out of politics

state if the Legion is to exert its
political power effectively, Mount
told the post officers.
Floyd L. Young, Viacennes, state
commander, appointed a committee
to decide upon the redistricting
question and report July II. Final
action on the matter probably will

convention at Anderson Aug. % to
