spectacular coup d'etat of modern

voted his return was a “dangerous ad-
and refused to accept the
sw order of things. Carol signed a
izing all acts of the regency
in the name of King Michael and also
approved a generai amnesty act; but
he then proceeded to punish certain
prominent politicians who spoke against
him after his return. He told cor-
respondents he would work constitu-
tionally through parliament and that
he had no idea of establishing a dic-
tatorship. At latest reports he was
having difficulty in forming a
government, the National

Carol's future family concerns were
doubtful, His mother,
Dowager Marie, hastened to
Bucharest from Oberammergau to wel-

wife, thelr divorce having been his

cold-blooded murder of Alfred J. Lingle,
veteran police reporter of the Chicago
Tribune. Rewards totaling £55,100

fog to the conviction of the slayer:
the city authorities have been sub-
jected to the severest criticism for not
suppressing the gangsters, and the po-
lice department is apparently devoting
most of its attention to rounding up
the known criminals or frightening
them out of the city.
Lingle was a remarkably well posted
crime investigator and was intimately
acquainted with the affairs of both the
underworld and the police. Presum-
ably because he knew too much, he

cotton, from a trip to Missouri,

there's §16 worth of cottonseed sieved
