of his father, 11-year-old King
Jeter of Jugoslavia arrived here
today en- route to Paris.
He was accompanied by his
grandmother, Dowager Queen
Marie of Rumania. The royal
party Immediately boarded a
channel steamer for Calais.
Extraordinary police precautions
weer taken here. The entire plat
form was cleared of everyone ex-
cept known officials before the
royal party was permitted to
alight from the train which
brought them from London.
Queen aMrie and the young
king then walked slowly hand in
hand along the platform to the
dock where the French mail boat
Cote d'Azzure awaited them.
In London, the bewildered H.
year-old monarch, wearing a black
tie, was closely Shepherded by
Scotland Yard detectives. On his
trip from his hotel to the station,
he sat in the rear seat of a sleek
limousine with a detective beside
him.
The car was driven at terrific
speed, the chauffeur disregarding
traffic signals.
Police Guard Station
Police took extraordinary pre-
cautions to assure Peters safe de-
parture at Victoria Station.
Large numbers of police, both
uniformed and plain clothes, were
on duty, while uniformed men
lined the barriers. Scores more
were stationed along the platform
for the entire length of the train.
A crowd of more than 1000
was gathered near the station.
One Pullman car with its
blinds drawn was especially re-
served for the royal party.
1t was plain that London was
not going to have any repetition
OF Marseilles. No one except
passengers was allowed to
approach the barriers.

How will fees for appraisal and
other services rendered in con
nection with the refinancing OF
an existing home or the buying
of a new one be handled under
the mutual mortgage plan?
Since the rules for this i'm

Many persons are anxious to
gain information along this line,
however, if the dozens of letters

MARSEILLES, Oct. 10 G.N.SD.
Stricken and worn, but bearing

by special train early this morn

she was to have ridden in

Croatian assassin, lay in state

There she sat, alone except
for two officers of the guards
with drawn swords, near the

Around the death-bed, which
was in reality a high-backed couch.
were massed huge punches of
flowers. On a wall directly above
where the King lay was a Jugo-
slavian flag.
King AleXander's great coat lay
at his feet, while his admiral's
hat rested on his knees. His hands
were folded on his chest, one Ell.
bow resting on the hilt of his
sword.

So stricken with grief was Queen
Marie that she was unable to re-
move her gaze from his face. She
sat with moist handkerchief
clenched in her hands, occasion

down, and heart-rending sobs were
heard outside the room.
One of the guards, whose duty

was the most narrowing scene he

was almost impossible to restrain

ously in all he had written her
OF course he was in dead earn
est at first, but later she showed
an utter lack of flnesse in ques-
tioning his feelings, his actions,
his goingS and comir1gs, his at
tendance at their meetings and so
on, without stopping to consider
that now, and for years past, he
had lived in a sphere in which
she could never have a part. He
reminds her of that, gently but

planning new books. He was be-
ginning even then to dream of
Little DOrrit.
Then too-although carefully
concealed by Mr. Forster, his BIZ
ographer, and his daughter who
edited his published letters-he
was at this period devoting
great deal of his time in assisting
the Baroness Burdett- Cults in the
conduct of a Home for Fallen
Women.
Why this important branch of
his humanitarian work was de-
leted is, one of the mysteries that
surround many abridgments in his
biographies. There were also
many friendships and intimacieS
with the people of the stage that
are Just now, in the world wide
search for more information
about this great man, emerging
from their graves of silence.
Giving all this the slightest
glance, it is clear that he had
little inclination to coquet with
Maria. Of course her sudden re-
appearance had superseded every
thing else for the moment; but
after the first meeting or so the
novelty wore off; the rushing tide
of his strenuous life flowed on and
Maria's antiquated little boat was
Swamped in the fleet of friend
ships and business activities-a
condition of which she was be-

L N mendously vital problem
which underlies the whole of the
second series of letters in his cor
respondence. In the indiScreet
warmth of those intimate letters
"all to herself" Dickens had eX-
posed himself to embarrassing
danger; and in his saner moments
after the first flush of excite
ment he was evidently hard put
for excuses that would let him
self out gracefully, without an

it will be seen that he used con-
siderable strategy.
Georgina Hogarth wrote that
Dickens and his wife were to-
tally unsuited to each other in
almost every respect" and that
they had lived unhappily for
years" 1t is quite possible that
in 1855 this had already become
more or less noised about, and
had it come to light that there
was to be an open rupture, the
public. always hungry for scan

curious to find out who was at
fault.
Mrs. Dickens being a plain, I'M
obtrusive home body, the Suspi-
cion would naturally fall on the
more romantic head of the fam

about in theatrical circles, among
all sorts of people, and exposed
to all sorts of temptation.

opposed by R. Earl Peters. who has

There were reports that the
Peters faction might attempt to
elect Tom Mcconnell, Fowler, the
Second district chairman. but Nc
Connell may have tough shedding
even to return to the state COM
mittee.
Mcconnell Backs Peters
Mcconnell is a strong hacker of
Peters in the senate race, but the
administration strategy board is
running Lawrence Corey. Monticello
editor, against Mcconnell, and
claims his election.
One of the bitterest district fights
is scheduled for the Tenth where

Peters Claims 1,4O0 Votes
Almost on the eve of the district
elections, Peters issued a statement
insisting he has no ambitions to
control the state committee, but ex-
pressing confidence that he has
enough delegates pledged to assure
him the senate nomination in the
state convention June IL.
Administration spokesman, in
Guiding Governor McNutt, contest
both claims, however, pointing out
that the former state chairmen's
supporters made strong fight for
precinct committeeman elections in
the primary.
The Peters delegates claim is con-
tested by Frank McHale, adminis-
tration advisor, who made cheek
for the Governor and who contends
that no candidate can enter the
convention with more than $50 to
500 votes assured.
A total of LOTS votes are required
for nomination and Peters support
ers are claiming a maximum Of
