QUEEN MARIE
RID|CULES
POISON TALE
Dowager Of Rumania
Ill With Influenza,
Says Archduke
BY ALFRED TYRNAUER
Copyright. 1887. by international
News SerVice)

VIENNA, March 15.-From her
Sick-bed in Bucharest, Dowage1
Queen Marie of Rumania today
laughed at widespread fears that
she was dangerously i'll.
Archduke Anton, husband OF
Princess LENA, Queen Marie'S
daughter, revealed that Ileana had
telephoned direct to her mother
and learned she was suffering
from minor stomach disorders in
conjunction with an influenza at
tack. Anton said:
''My wife has just telephOned
to her majesty, the DOwager
Queen, AMI received cheering
word. Queen Marie laughed off
anxious stories that she had
been poisoned and was a vic
tim Of partial paralysis
"She said she would be up
again in a few days, and felt so
well she persuaded my wife not
to go to Bucharest, as she had
INTENDED. In view of this. Arch
duchess Illeana will stay at
SOnnberg castle"
The castle is the Austrian home
of the archduke, where Queen
Marie recently visited her daugh.
ter and received the Duke of Wind
Sor.
Poison Reports Secuted
Private advices from Bucharest
also indicated there was nothing
to reports that the Fascist iron
guard was back of an attempt to
poison Queen Marie in retaliation
for recent acts against the guard
by King Carol. Bucharest charac-
terized these reports as sheer in
vention."
Queen Marie was taken i'll Fri
day, and a stringent censorship
prevented news from leaking out
until last night. Telephone calls
to foreign correspondents in
Bucharest were cut off at the first
mention of her name.
OminouS rumorS were circulated
at once, based on combination
of facts and reports of the conflict
between King Carol and the Iron
Guard. 3. Udahenu, marshal of the
court at Bucharest, was taken i'll
at the same time as the Queen
mother, and showed the same
symptoms, it was pointed out.
Universities Shut
Twice within a month King Caro-
had laShed the Iron Guard. On
Carols instructions, three weeks
ago, the foreign ministry sharply
reproved the Italian and German
ambassadors for attending g
funeral of two members of the
Iron Guard killed fighting for the
Spanish insurgents. Last week
Carol suddenly closed Rumania' s
universities, and expelled all stu
dents belonging to the Iron Guard
Rumors that Premier Nicolas
Titulescu, removed from office I'm
der Iron Guard pressure last year
also was poisoned" likewise were
resurrected. Titulescu subsequently
was taken ill in Switzerland, but
insisted the cause was natural.
Bucharest underground reports
also said strong police and mill
tary precautions had been taker
to protect members Of the roya
household.

REBELS BEATEN BACK

"It must not be forgotten that
there are foreign formations
with the reds. CzechOslOvakian
and Russian prisoners prove our
statements"
Ten battalions of the Interna
tional Brigade bore the brunt OF
the loyalist defense beyond Guada
lajara, Salamanca said.
Madrid RetOrts
Madrid promptly struck back
with this statement:
"The object of the commu-
nique is to hush up the scandal
of violation of Spanish territory
by foreign armies such as those
attacking on the Madrid and
Guadalajara fronts"
The loyalist defense council at
the same time sought to bring
Madrid back to its senses after a
weekend of pubilation over Satur
days day of glory"
Fearful lest the defeat of the
Italians should lead the loyalists
to become reckless, the entire
press came out with warnings
against overconfidence, pointing
out that the insurgents have thou
sands of fresh troops ready to re-
new the offensive.
LONDON, March IS G.N.SO.
Spanish Ambassador Luis Araquis-
tan left Paris hurriedly Saturday
for Valencia "in anticipation of
a cabinet crisis within the next
few days." the London Daily Mail
reported today.
The Mails correspondent at
Paris quoted an official of the
Spanish embassy there as saying
"The ambassador went to
Valencia by train via BARGE
Iona. An airplane had been
placed at his disposal, but it was
cancelled at the last minute in
view Of the bad weather.
"The ambassador decided not
to wait for the weather to clear.
1 am unable to reveal the nature
of his mission, but 1 can tell you
it is urgent"

work on the naval aviation base
on MajOrca, and it is necessary
he should continue his activ-
tiles"
The government also handed
out copies of instructions said to
have been taken from an Italian
officer.
Bearing the purported signature
of the Italian commander, Yer
gonzoli, and dated March 9 at
Alcola de Pinar, the instructions
outlined the Italian plan of cam
paign on the Guadalajara front
and, according to the government,
showed that only Italians partici-
pated in the drive.
Behind a deadly curtain of bombs
and machine gun fire from scores
of swift airplanes, loyaliSt armies
today followed through on their
smashing weekend victories be-
yond Guadalajara with the cap
ture of Valdearenas.
Forestalling a possible repetition
of Gen. Francisco Frances regular
tactics of striking at another front
as soon as the loyaliStS have
rushed reinforcements to one bat
tleground, the loyalistS at once
opened a fresh offensive in the
Jarama River sector, southeast of
Madrid.
Dead Litter Valley
A government communique said:
eve are steadily driving back
the insurgents along the Jarama
front, through a valley strewn
with cOrpSes and carcasseS Of
horses and discarded rifles"
This reported advance ends for
the time being the insurgent threat
to cut the Valencia highway from
the south.
On the eve of the ninth month
of the conflict, while loyalists JOY
ously celebrated the insurgent set
back, a wordy battle continued
between the two sides, designed to
sway foreign opinion.
In reply to loya1ist charges that
from 10000 to $4,000 italian SOL
diers were fighting with the in
surgents before Guadalajara, an
insurgent communique at Sala-
manca said:

SOCIAL SECURITY
CHANGE IS MADE

Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. Guy T. Helvering announced
today that employers subject to
tax under Title VIII of the Social
Security Act will be required to
file only one information return
for the period July 1 to December
81, 1887. This is the return OIL
Forms SS-2 and SS-2a on which
the employer reports to the col
lector of internal revenue the
amount of wages paid to each en-
ployee. These returns are used both
for verifying the accuracy of the
monthly Federal social security tax
returns and as a basis for credit
ing wages to the accounts of vSl-
ployees in the Federal old-age ben
efits program.
This announcement is of inter-
est to the hundreds of thousands
of employers who are required to
file this type of return. Instead of

TOURIST j !. !. I. / INCOME
IS RATED. l. HIGH 1 I. |.

Prof. Alfred Atkinson of the
Montana State College, in one of
his farewell talks to the people of
Montana, rated the income from
tourists as the second most profit
able industry of the state. State
game Warden James A. Weaver
afirrns this view and declares that
Montana's abundant wild life--its
fighting trout, it's colorful and
plentiful native and imported game
birds, it's elusive deer, powerful
elk and bear-compose that ele-
ment of Montana's charm that
will perpetuate this states roman
tic appeal to nature lovers of the
nation and the world.
Appointed by the State Game
Commission with the approval of
Governor Roy E. Ayers, State
Warden Weaver has the duty of
enforcing game laws for the pro-
lection of wild life, of propagating
and fostering wild life and Of pro-
noting cooperation between sports
men and the personnel of the game
department. AS secretary of the
commission and chief executive Of
ficer, his duties require a thorough
knowledge of latest theories of
conservation, practical enforcement
of laws and ability to publicize one
of Montanas' greatest assets, it's
wild life.
Arrest and prosecution Of law
while necessary, is by
far the least important part of the
State Game Department, Warden
Weaver asserts. The department
operates IA fish hatcheries, 8
spawning stations and one pond
cultural station. The department
also operates two game bird farms
and it's field force of 22 deputies,
5 special deputies and scores of
cooperating sportsmen keep close
watch on all wild life at all sea-
sons of the year.

LENGTHEN ? ARK
TOURIST YEAR

The two-week extension of the
Yellowstone park season ordered
by President Roosevelt after Wis
iting the park recently "is not a
precedent for lengthening the sea-
son., according to a national park
service official.
Agitation by Montana and Wyo-
ming communities for extending
the season this fall met park SER
vice objection on the ground no
funds were available, but the pres
ident authorized use of interior de-
partment reserve funds to add the
extra two weeks.
"The length of the season next
year," the official said, "will be
about the same as this year-from
about June 20 to about the middle
of September-since the approp-
ration for the park service, made
by congress at it's last session, was
about $411 900 or virtually the
same as Yellowstone park received
for this year. g..
"There's no way the season can
be extended except through action
by congress to- make the necessary
increased funds: available"

county's most successful ranchers.
John T. Kelly, Red Lodge, has been
confirmed by Governor Roy E. Ay-
ers to the post Of chief Of the grain
division of the state department Of
agriculture.

democratic central committee, Kel-
ly has. long been identified with his
party's activities in the state. His

have been important factors in
solidifying the democratic party in
the county. A year ago he was mar
rowly defeated for his party's
nomination for railway and public
service commissioner, a loss which
he took gracefully. He was active
in working for the democratic vic
otry last fall.
Mr.. Kelly was also Carbon
County Commissioner for a time.

Mr.. Kelly was at one time presi-
dent of the Montana Farmers
union.

ROBERTS BOY IS
WINNER o. PEST
CONTROL DRIVE. | /.
Stanley Exile Destroys A
Total Of 1850
Magpies

Stanley Exile, II year old youth
living west Of Roberts was scored
the high point winner in the county
wide Rodent Control program for
Carbon County which closed on
September 18th. This contestants
record shows that a total of 1850
magpies, 72 magpie eggs and 8
coyotes were destroyed by him in
the seasons campaign.
A total of 80 boys participated
in this contest and an average
number of points scored for each
contestant was 1882, in compari-
son with 882 scored in 1886. STAN
ley Exile scored 9794 points in all.
His nearest competitor, Glenn
Tjeltveit of Luther, scored 6946.
The second place winner is a bro
ther of the 1886 rodent contest
winner.

P. Roberts, with the cooperation
of the Baldwin Lumber Company,
the State Fish and Game Commits
sion, the Carbon County Turkey
Pool, the Roberts Wool Pool the

the Peter Fbx Company, whose
contributions made this contest
possible.

one % repeating rifle and $50 in

ue of $4,000. 1t is felt that the
saving due to the eradication of
these pests amounts to over ST.
10000 to polltrymen and stock
growers of the. county.
This program was instituted at
the request of harrassed poultry
men and sheepmen and in the
past two years this program has
accounted for 25y516 magpies and
their eggs, LII crows and their
eggs, 2206. English sparroWs and
their eggs, and 81 coyotes by the
boys and girls who have particip-
ated in the rodent program. It has

since the institution of this pro-
gram.

STUDY SHORTAGES
IN LIQUOR STORES

Criminal prosecution faces sew
eral state liquor store vendors and
assistants who have been discover
ed covering up shortages in state
funds, as the result of a strong
letter addressed to the Liquor Con-
troll Board this week by Governor
Roy E. Ayers. In at least three
cases vendors have signed written
confessions of peculations from
their office receipts; in other, un-
explained shortages have been dis
covered in accounts by state aud
itors.
While the bonding companies
have made good to the state all
losses, Governor Ayers points out
that such practices must be met by
stern prosecution.
II am informed that bonding
companies have made restitution
on the losses to the state, and that
these defaulting persons have gone
forth without prosecution" the
Governors letter sets forth.
"This is absolutely contrary to
all state law and in a way has
placed the state in the position of
confounding an embezzlement. I'm
der no circumstances can the state
be party to such procedure. BY
all means the state must set the
example of law enforcement"
