day morning for the long journey
back through Canada in preparation
for the four-day visit to Washing

The British sovereigns came to
Vancouver over the scenic route
from Banff, which they left yester-
day morning in an automobile that
took them to Lake Louise and on
across the continental divide to
Field, where they caught their spe-
cial train.
Forty newspapermen and photog-
raphers, who missed the pilot train
travelling 80 minutes ahead of the
royal train, raced across the noun
tains at breakneck speed and caught
their train at the same station.
They had been caught in the Banff
Hotel at the moment when the
King and Queen were leaving and
had to display the usual Difference
to royalty by waiting until the King
and Queen left-With Canadian
Royal Mounted Police on hand to see
they did it.
Before leaving Banff, King George
and Queen Elizabeth attended morn
ing services at st. Georges Church.
The Queen was gay and vivacious.
King George appeared rested and in
evident good humor as they took
leave of the whole hotel staff at
Banff. Everybody from the manager
and his 4-year-old daughter to the
chefs, walters, maids and bellboys
lined up along the driveway to wave
farewell.
Stylists said the Queen was
dressed in the most stunning cos
tune she has drawn from her ex-
tensive wardrobe for her American
tour. Her dress coat and hat were
deep, dusky blue. Her long light
wool coat, falling to the hem of her
crepe frock, was split almost to the
hips at both sides, giving paneled
effect as she walked. Her high
heeled pumps were dull gray suede
and she carried gray bag and a
spray of pink orchids.
All this did not prevent her from
climbing into the cab of the leading
engine of the three that pulled the
royal train up the eastern slope
of the Selkirk Range.
She and the King were smiling
from the first cab window as the en-
gines pulled into Stoney Creek with
the royal special. They had ridden
IA miles on special seats built be-
hind the fireman's seat so they
could get the full benefit of the
mountain vistas.

wear to meet the King and Queen
at the station on June 8. Made of
an azure blue wool sent to her by
British wool growers, the dress is

white pique with pique bow at the
neck. The street-length gored skirt
is slightly faring The narrow belt
is of the same material as the dress
With this frock Mrs. Roosevelt said
she would wear a dark blue straw
hat with white pique trimming and
dark blue shoes.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she under

darker blue and made from
material sent by American WOO
growers, would have a long coat
of the same material to match
with a fox collar. She made it
clear that her dress had beer
designed by Clare Potter, an Amer
lean designer, while the Queens

wool growers had sent her so much
more material than she needed
that she thought she would have

dress for her daughter, Mrs. John
Boettiger.

Other bits of information about
the royal visit dispensed at the press
conference included:
The fact that it had been sug-

the White House columnist whom
the Queen frequently read. She
did nothing about this because she
feared it would cause tempest
among the other columnists. She
declined to reveal the columnist's
identity.
Also the fact that new mattresses
and springs had been put on all the
double beds in the White House
Mrs. Roosevelt's children were re-
sponsible for the change. They said
the White House beds were the
hardest they had ever slept on.
The fact that the hot dogs at

then toasted, and strictly American
corn bread will be in the form OF

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 29.-In-
dictments naming a dozen high
Pennsylvania Democrats on various
charges of forcing political con-
tributions and conspiracy to cheat
the Commonwealth were sustained
today by Judge Howard M. Hughes
In Dauphin County Court.
District Attorney Carl B. Shelley
announced the first of the trials
would begin Monday, June IL. He
did not say which OF those indicted
would be tried first.
The indictments were returned
last January 7 and March 8 on the
recommendation of a special grand
jury that investigated charges orig
inally hurled in the Pennsylvania
1888 primary election campaign.
Judge Hughes dismissed one in
dictment naming five officials of
the Dauphin County Democratic
Committee on charges of "con-
spiracy to blackmail and extort
campaign contributions"
He ruled the indictment was in
valid because of the statute of
limitations, since almost four years
had elapsed since the actions on
which the case was based.
All five of the committee members,
however, were named in other in
dictments.
Among the IL indicted were three
cabinet members in the administra-
ton of former Gov. George H. Earle.
They are David L. Lawrence, Demo-
cratic State chairman and former
secretary Of the Commonwealth !;
Ralph M. Bashore, secretary of the
Democratic State Committee and
former secretary Of labor and in
dustry, and Roy E. Brownmiller
former secretary Of highways.
The charges first were made by
Democrats against Democrats in a
battle between rival candidates in
the primaries. Republicans sought
to make them an issue in their sue
cessful campaign to regain control
Of Pennsylvania in the election
which followed.

is a violation of the statute. While
| the language of the statute is broad
and speaks of any ticket used
''' for the purpose Of
conducting a lottery we are not
disposed to hold that a dead or
expired lottery ticket would satisfy
the statute.
But in this instance the coupling
OF the old with the new could not
have influenced the verdict, since
the evidence establishes that the
tickets in appellants possession at
the time of his arrest were tickets
for use in the future for the pur-
pose of playing and conducting a
lottery.
I'VE have, therefore, case in
which the evidence Enthusiastically
shows the violation by appellant of
a statute passed by Congress with

pellant for the commission of the
crime in the view and presence OF
the officers. In such circumstances
we think it is our duty to affirm the
judgment of conviction"

ton that because a search warrant
had been previously obtained, the
seizure without service of the search
warrant was invalid, the Appellate
Court said the barber shop being g

he was arrested, the book seized,
and found to contain undated num-
bers slips, the court recited in its
opinion.
Another policeman testified that
he noticed through an open door
in the room another man sitting
in a room adjoining writing down
numbers, being called out to him
by woman. that he arrested this
man and seized quantity of num-
bers slips lying on the table in front
of him.
Mr.. Smiths counsel advanced
three points in the Court of Appeals,
which 1t asked to reverse the District
Courts conviction-the lower court
had erred in permitting the officer
to testify he had received informa-
ton that the place of arrest was
being used for writing numbers;
that the court below erred in per-
hitting the introduction in evidence
of numbers slips seized in the ad-
joining room of the BARRIERS shop
after this evidence had previously
been excluded by the court, and that
District Court had erred in permit
ting the introduction in evidence
Of old and used numbers slips.
Court Sums Up Case.
In dealing with the phase of the
case relating to old numbers slips,
the United States Court of Appeals
had this to say:
I'VE gather from the argument Of
counsel that this objection is based
upon the introduction of the lottery
tickets found in the adjoining room
some of which were old tickets or
tickets which had been issued con-
corning past or expired drawing
The objection to this is that it is too
remote, since appellant (Mr. Smith,
was not shown to have had any
control Of the place.
The purpose of the Government
in introducing the evidence, pre-
sumably, was to attribute guilty
knowledge to appellant of the char
acter of the place, and this theory,
If our assumption is correct. is q
little difficult to follow. The statute,
on which the prosecution is based,
makes. it an offense to have know
ingly in ones possession any writing
used, or to be used, for the purpose
of playing lottery. The uncon-
tradicted evidence shows that ap-
pellant was in possession of book
of numbers slips which it is mat
ter of common knowledge in this
community are the receipts given to
the players of the game. He was
actually in process Of writing out
the slips at the time Of the arrest.
This, unexplained, was enough
to justify his conviction under the
statute and we can think of no
reason for the necessity of any
other or additional evidence. For
this reason, we are not disposed
to cavil at the admission of the
evidence obtained from the ad-
joining room, since in our opinion
it added nothing, certainly nothing
prejudicial, to the eyewitness evil
dence, which We have held was
properly admitted. And this is par
ticularly the case since the record
does not disclose anything more
than the introduction of other and
additional old and new lottery
tickets.
