IHOOSIERDOM is to be treated
Il Il to an exhibition Of old-time
presidential stumping next week,
when Governor Alfalfa Bill" Muir
ray of Oklahoma viii make six
speeches in three days in the CEN
trail and northern parts Of the state.
Murray, expected to announce for
the Democratic nomination within
a few days, certainly has picked out
a mans size speaking program.
He opens his tour with an address
here Tuesday afternoon at the dis
trict conference Of Indiana Ro-
tarianS.
The picturesque one-man govern
ment of Oklahoma will proceed
Immediately to Monticello, where he
will address gathering of Second
district Democrats that night.
The next afternoon "wednesday
Grant county Democrats will hear
him at Marion, at meeting ar
ranged by Mayor Jack Edwards;
and that night, after crossing the
state, Murray will speak to First
district Democrats at Gary.
y n
His schedule, calls for speech at
the Indiana Petroleum association
meeting in the Anthony hotel at TT.
Wayne at noon Thursday and that
night he is to appear at rally in
Cadle tabernacle here.
Probably the most picturesque
and interesting of all the pres
idential aspirants, Murray is noted
not only for his scent cigar and
his suspenders, but for the fact that
he wrote the Constitution of Okla
homa and has, by use of his powers
as Governor, arbitrarily increased
the price of oil through ordering
militia to halt production.
1t has been years since Indiana
has been stumped in such vigorous
fashion by a presidential aSpirant,
and his friends feel that he may
obtain much support and some con-
vention pledges by a personal ap-
pearances
The puzzle to all observers is.
however, how former State Senator
Perry Easton became Murray's
manager.
The political strength and pres
tige of Easton is summed Up in the
following incident.
EaSton appeared in the Office of
Sheriff Buck Sumner here and put
the bee on him for a contribution
to defray the cost of Murray's APP
pearance at Cadle Tabernacle.
who's Murray?" asked Buck,
feigning ignorance.
Easton explained all about the
Oklahoma Governor and asked
Buck to donate.
why should II" asked the
sheriff. HE isn't going to be
President and, anyhow, know I'm
not going to be delegate to the ma
tional convention, and it's dead
certainty that you won't be, so what
are you getting so net up about?"
EaSton left without the contribu-
ton.

in Speeding Plane.

Copyright. 1882. by United Press)
PARIS, Feb. 19.--An English
beauty and heiress, princess Of
Borneo, who, some day, may rule
over savages, revealed today why
she left England as a Christian in
an airplane speeding 100 miles an
hour, and landed in France a Mo-
hammedan, after a ceremony in
mid-air in the flying mosque.
Il chose the air for my CONVEX
sion because I wished it to be per-
formed on no earthly territory" the
heiress, Princess Muda of Sarawak,
Borneo, and daughter of the late
Sir Walter Palmer, said.
The fore compartment Of the
Silver Wings, liner of Imperial
Anyways, was converted into a
mosque. The ceremony was car
rfed out 5000 feet in the air, half
way between England and France.
DR.. Khalid Sheldrake, president
Of the Western Islamic Association,
performed the ceremony.
Prays to Allah
Shouting loudly to overcome the
roar of the motors, he prayed to
Allah, "the benef1cent, the merci-
full, all praise due Allah, lord Of
the world -. the benef1cent, the
merciful."
Then he placed his hands over
the palm of the right hand of the
princess, who repeated the words
Of the Koran:
II bear witness that nothing de-
serves to be worshipped but Allah,
Allah, and bear witness that NO
manned is the apostle Of Allah,
Allah"
II give the name of Khair- Ul-
Nissa, fairest of women" DR.. Shell
drake shouted as solemnly as pos
sible under the circumstances.
Princess Muda wore a black fur
coat and a black frock. The red
fez worn by DR.. Sheldrake was the
only eastern touch to the scene.
The silver Wings crew was aboard
in regular uniform. A steward
served luncheon to the princess and
DR.. Sheldrake after the ceremony.
The plane carried other regular
passengers.
Reared a Protestant
The princess has made other
changes in her religion. She was
reared in the Protestant faith and
later became an ardent Christian
Scientist. In 1880 she became a
Roman Catholic and was received
in private audience by the Pope,
wearing the national Malayan cos
tune at his request.
The princess will become the GUS
todian of one of the most valuable
garments in the world, a tunic
which Mohammed is said to have
worn more than 1900 years ago.
The garment is valued at $1,750, 600.
The faithful from many parts { f
the world are expected to inspect
the tunic when displayed at a large
hall in London.
Princess Muda was left a fortune
by her father, the late Sir Walter
Palmer, who was partner in the
biscuit manufacturing firm of Hunt
ley and Palmer. AS the wife of the
Prince of Sarawak, Borneo, she
some day may rule over the saw
age headhunters.

store about o'clock while he was alone.
The woman, whom he described as a
"good-looking blond" and unusually
tall, maneuvered him to the rear by
asking to see tea set. Then one Of
the men, he said. pulled out a revolver
and ordered him to put up your
hands"
The store owner was escorted into
the rear room, where one man went
through his pockets while the other
rifled the store cash register. AS the

Spencer, venerable and respected
"kingfsh" of the new Department Of
Commerce aquarium, is dead.
The big 5-foot sturgeon, idol of Wash
ington children and known far and
wide by reputation, succumbed sudden
ly yesterday to acute indigestion.
His widow, Ruby who also suffered
a stomach disorder yesterday, Is dis
consolate, but is expected to recover
from the double shock Of her illness
and her mates demise.
Spencer's death, distinct blow to
Clean Leach, chief of the fish culture
division, Bureau of Fisheries, who had
reared him tenderly from infancy,
answered a question that long has
puzzled icthyologists:
How long does sturgeon live?"
II Spencer may be taken as a
criterion, the answer is l9 years. Tha:
is how long it has been since Spencer,
then 6-inch fry fresh from the Po-
toma became a ward Of Mr.. Leach.
Acipencer Sturio was the name
wished on him by thoughtless scientists,
but Spencer is the name he preferred
and the one to which he responded
when Fish Commissioner Henry O'Mal-
lev or Mr.. Leach wished to show their
friendship by scratching his back.
Nothing pleased the big fish more than
a good back scratch now and then
unless It was the arrival several months

Thousands Of men, women ana chll-
dren had visited the Department OF
Commerce Building just to see Spencer
and his fish companions. Ofhcials es-
timated Yesterday that more than 2OO,-
600 persons had viewed Spencer dur
ing his lifetime.
Friday Spencer and Ruby ate their
regular diet of ground beef heart and
calf liver and not long after the meal
Spencer showed signs of distress. Ruby
also threshed about in the glass tank
and turned over on her back in ex-
haustion. Attendants removed her TO
the fish hospital in the basement OF the
building and after treatment there she
recovered completely.
In the meantime, Spencer was taken
to the hospital, where it was found
necessary to confine him in a sort OF
fish straightjacket to prevent him from
splashing around and hurting himself.
He died not long afterward.
Department of Commerce officials
have arranged to preserve Spencer for
posterity. He will be stuffed and placed
on exhibition in the fish division OF the
Smithsonian Institution.
And Ruby. poor fish, must bear the

Wants u. S. Air Training
,sE,,RER OF CHINESE LEGATION STAFF TO BE CADET.

AZ nTTARY training as a course
M in good citizenship and self
UE discipline has encouraged Su-
1 il Lee Chang, junior member
of the Chinese legation staff
in Washington, to become a living
cadet at Randolph Field. Tex, where
he was entered by special permission
of the Government.
AS a member of the r. o T. c.
Infantry unit at Georgetown Univer-
sity during the past year, Mr.. Chang
became a buck private; shouidered
his rife with other cadets and applied
himself diligently to the technical side
of military training. What impressed
as contrasted with the foreign method,
he wrote in the Infantry Journal, was
that the technique of the use Of arms
is not taught as an art of aggressive
war.
Graduate of Hankow.
Mr.. Chang is a graduate of Hankow
University and also has studied in this
country. When he entered George
town, it was with special permission
from the president of the university,
DR.. w. Coleman Nevis, S. j., to take
only the military course. Upon his
completion of this course, he applied
for admission to the training school at
the Texas field, where most of the
Army aviators are graduated"
1t was the lessons in citizenship that
the r. o. T. c. stresses that prompted
the young Chinese attache to take the
course at Georgetown and to complete
his education by an aviation course.
AT Georgetown, Mai. William H. Hob
son, U. S. A, the commandant, found
him an energetic and enthusiastic
cadet. His grasp Of English made it
easier for him.
Writing of his lessons, Mr.. Chang
refers to himself IN his article as fol-
lows:
He observed to his satisfaction the
entire absence of militaristic proselytiZ-
ing and the high-powered preaching of
ideas of nationalIstic egotisn which the
pacifists fear It is in reality an I'M
surpassed citizenship and personality
training by methods known in mill
tary science. 1t helps to develop in
the youth admirable qualities of self
discipline, courtesy and obedience,
esprit de corps, perseverance, mental
and physical coordination, desire to
know, and the ability to think.
Lauds Citizenship Training.
"These qualities will stand any one
in good stead for individual as well
as for national life. Love for ones
country is natural. Once the direct
benefits of military training are given,
authorities may rest assured that pa
triotism and a sense OF duty will take
care Of themselves amply we'll,
