KING AT PRIYY COUNCIL

London, Oct. 27-(UP)-King Ed ward attended 8 meeting of his privy council this morning a few hours before the meeting of the court at Ipswich where Mrs. Ernest Simpson, his close friend, was a petitioner for divorce from Ernest Simpson.
 The king motored in from Belve- dere, his country place near Lon- don, for the meeting at which Ram say Macdonald, as lord president of the council, presided.
 King Edward summoned the meeting in order that the council might formally discuss his speech from the throne at the state open ing of parliament next Tuesday when 1t is expected that Mrs. Simp- son will be in the distinguished strangers gallery of the House of Lords to watch him read his speech.
 It is customary for the king to read speech prepared by his min- isters, dealing with domestic, em- pire and foreign affairs. In the kings case, however, there was speculation whether he might de- cide-as he could-to interpolate some statements of his own.

 National speakers have charged Governor Landon with closing schools and, at the same time. using federal relief funds while not using much of his own state money to help the needy. Alderman Phillips attitude is apparently, it was claimed today, the result of studying the anti-relief policies of the Landon administration.

After 1872, 1878 and 1874, Hughes
left the Usage tribe and went with
the Commanches to work as a
cowboy for Powers and Buckley,
who had a government contract TO
supply meat to Indians. After the
buffalo were killed off, the gov
ernment decided to keep the In
dians eontented and off the war
path by supplying them with
meat. The cowboys cut the cat

Hughes spent considerable time

In the spring Of 1877, Powers
and Buckley lost the contract with
the government Hughes went
along as a cowboy when the vast
herds were moved from the In

they were fattened until fall on
the long grass. The cattle then
were sold and shipped to market.

Captain Hughes says one cupfull

Indian traders would send out
huge wagons Of supplies TO the

would keep the supplies for trading

Coal township property owners

levied by an overwhelming major

Proceeds from the levy Of 2.99

Physicians have said that

MONEY EARLY
PROBLEM FOR
CONGRESS
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

new monetary bill, raising the
lie of currency initiation and in
rational policy, was slated to-
" to be thrust before the new
top heavy Democratic Congress
early in January.
Treasury experts already have
gathered a mass of material for
use by President Roosevelt in max
ing his recommendations.
Monetary legislation is expected
to be the first big problem before
Congress. Expiration of authority
under which the 1000 million dol
lar sterilization fund was created
on January 80 will force the Ad-
ministration to make speedy de-
cision.
Door Open for Battle
Expiration of the Presidents
authority to further devalue the
dollar between so and so per cent
of it's former value opens the door
for a Congressional initiation
battle Mr.. Roosevelt may ask con-
tinuance of the present power, but
Treasury officials have indicated
that no further devaluation is
planned.
Backers of the commodity dol
lar" theory and outright Congress
sional inflationists may demand
drastic changes in the present
currency plan. The agreement
with Great Britain and France to
prevent violent fluctuation in the
dollar, pound and franc virtually
forces the Administration to ask
continuance of the 1000 million
dollar sterilization fund.
The crushing defeat suffered by
Father Charles E. Coughlin in the
election may ease the Administra-
tons path if Mr.. Roosevelt asks
Congress to put complete power
over the currency in his hands.
The "Coughlin bloc" however, is
certain to fight such proposal.
Power conferred on the Federal
Reserve Board to permit issue Of
Federal Reserve notes with Gov
eminent bonds as backing is
limited to March 3, 1887, thus
again raising the monetary issue.
Another possible fight doomed
because of expiration Of the Pres
ident's power to fix the weight of
the silver dollar IN relation to gold
and to provide for unlimited coin
age of gold and silver at the
ratio. and the possibility that the
statutory limit will be reached
under the present silver purchase
law.
Glass in Saddle
Fresh demands for greater
silver purchases and unlimited
coinage of silver may be made
by the "Silver bloc"
Senator Carter Glass, Cd, of
Virginia, foe of initiation, is slated
to become chairman of the Sen
ate Banking Committee.
Mr.. Roosevelt also must decide
early in the new session of Con-
greSS whether the Government
will further withdraw from bust
ness by allowing authority Of the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton to make new loans expire.
A Congressional bloc anxious to
"take the Government out of bust
ness" is expected to demand that
the Reconstruction Finance Cor.
poration be liquidated, on the
theory that the emergency for
which it was formed has passed.
Monetary legislation will pro-
vide the first test of Mr.. RooSe-
velt's control over the Senate and
House. Some Democratic leaders
fear that party quarrels may
break out because of the weakness
Of Republican opposition.

LOST MAN BE LEGALLY DEAD.
Ralph Devereaux to Lose Estate Unless Found
 Before October ,

Ralph Ward DevcroauX, an heir to part of the estate O. his father who died in Hastings, Nebraska, last January. will be declared le- gally dead unless he communicates with the court authorities before October 5, next.
 Devereaux was last heard from as a member of the crew of Ket- chikan fishing boat seven years ago. His sister, Mrs. F. A. Rubenstein of 1082 Highland Ave, Santa Ana, California, has written the U. $. Marshals office at Ketchikan, and from there the communication has been forwarded to the office of United States Marshal William Ma honey in Juneau.
 Mrs Reubenstein recounts that she appealed to the Ketchikan of flee several years ago, at which time her brother had been missing for some time, and was able to trace her brother to a fishing boat. Letters which she subsequently, sent him were never answered, though the fact that they were not return ed leads her to believe that he re- cciyed them.
 In the recent communication she says that their mother, now 83, is constantly asking to see her son before she dies. By the court action taken to settle the fathers estate, Ralph Devereoux will be deprived not only of a share of the present estate, but if he should be declared legally dead next month, it will prevent him from sharing in the estate of his mother when she dies.
 The mother is at present living with another brother, George Dev- ereux, 1726 w. Fifth St., Hastings, Nebraska Information is also de- sired by J. Halsey Bohlka, County Judge of Hastings, Neb.
