a base of operations.
The American woman issued a
proclamation in the counts name
in which it was asserted his am

constitutional monarchy along
British lines.
In the constitution, she said,
will be guarantees that no An
dorran's property shall be ex-
propriated, and that none of the
present citizens of the tiny hill
republic will be expelled from
the country. Why any of them
should be expelled by a new

AUTO LEAVES
ROAD, | KILLED,
four INJURED
Coroner's Jury Finds B.
Serunian's Death Due
to Broken Axle
CONDITION OF OTHERS
NOT SERIOUS, BELIEF

Barue Serunian, age 33, of
Greensboro, was instantly killed,
and four other persons injured
yesterday afternoon about $50
o'clock when the automobile III
which they were riding turned
over at Fletcher.
A coroner's jury investigating
the wreck this morning returned
a verdict that Serunian came to
his death as a result of an auto
mobile accident caused by a bro
ken axle.
Serunian was driving the car,
and the injured persons were Mr..
and Mrs. H. Pushman and A. A.
Pushman, of New York, and Miss
Dean Babcock of Asheville. Miss
Babcock left the Mountain SAM
tarium this morning and the other
three people were not thought to
be seriously hurt.
Serunian was a native of Ia
briz, Persia. He was a graduate
of the University of North Caro-
lima. He was engaged in the orr
entail rug business in Greensboro.
A brother is now at the Univers-
ity at Chapel Hill.
Witnesses said the car was
travelling at a rapid rate when a
tire blew out in front of the Lance
Motor company. The car swerved
to the side of the road and struck
the concrete steps leading to the
home of Mrs. w. f. Poteat. The
car then turned over, throwing
Mr.. Serunian to the pavement and
crushing his skull.

'RUMP' LEGISLATURE

BISMARCK, N. D., July 21.--

Every political resource OF
North Dakota's ousted governor
William H. LANCER, was bent 70
dav on impeachment of Ole Ol'
SON, his successor and chief ene-
nv. LANCER was ousted because
he is under sentence for a felony.
From his room in the ornate,
Patterson hotel, LANCER directed
a furious effort to muster a quo
rum for a rump legislative session
late today. H.
Almost directly below him the
hotel management established
"barracks" for a small army OF
supporters - penniless farmers
who left their dust-blown ana
sweltering fields to protest IN per-
son against supreme court rui-
ing which placed Olson in his Oh

grew as the hour for assembly OF
the legislature approached.
Olson, his feet cooked on Lang,
er's walnut desk in the capitol
and perspiration trickling into a
handkerchief knotted around his
neck, fought a quieter but just
as effective battle.
Through three days of the most
feverish political action ever seen
in this bailiwick of strange poll
tics he frankly has schemed and
conspired to keep a majority OF
the states legislators out OF Bis
marck.
Cries in the house that he was
attempting to become a "dlcta-
tori bothered him not a whit.
A count of legislative noses to,
day indicated he probably would
be successful in preventing quo
rum in the senate.
"I'm not convicted of any
crime until the United States Su.
preme court refuses my appeal,
LANCER said, "and Pm asking re-
election to show that the people
of North Dakota recognize this as
political persecution"
