This extra weight on RUMANIAN QUEEN MAY BECOME NUi QUEEN MARIE GRIEF STRICK-EN OVER THE LOSS OF HER HUSBAND, THE LATE KING FERDINAND Bucharest, Rumania, July 30 Grief stricken over the death of her husband, King Ferdinand, Queen Marie may seek peace and consolation within the quiet walls of a convent, it is believed by friends. Drawn to Convent They say she has often been drawn to the picturesque sixteenth century convent, near her castle in the village of Bran, for prayer, and think it likely that she will join the nuns in this retreat. From the time Marie came to Ru-j mania 35 years ago, she has been especially interestea in ine monasteries. Peasants' Idol The idea of Queen Marie entering a convent is not favorably received by the Rumanian peasantry. She has long been the peasants' idol and they are averse to losing a champion of their interests.

Fortunate is the man whose wife is his mental partner, stimulating his ambition. Gov. Fuller of Massachusetts heard yesterday the last plea by counsel for Sacco and Vanzetti, un rier sentence of death for murder.

If there is ANY doubt, even the faintest, as to the men's guilt, Gov Fuller will set them free.

No clamor will influence him. If, on the other hand, he concludes that there is absolutely NO DOUBT he will let the sentences stand, and the law will take its course. No clamor or threats will influ ence him there either. Fate has forced upon Gov. Ful ler a duty difficult and dangerous.

ING GOVERNOR TIME TO CONSIDER BILLS. Madison, July 30 Tha fifty-eighth session of the Wisconsin legislature, the second longest in the history of the state, adjourned Friday night after more than six and one-half months of law making. Sine die adjournment will take place six days after all bills have been messaged to Governor Fred Zimmerman. Stage Bitterest Fight Adjournment was finally taken after one of the bitterest fights of the session a disagreement between the upper and lower houses over the $11,000,000 University of Wisconsin appropriation bill which was passed finally. The house held out against an amendment to the bill by Senator Titus, relating to the method of appropriating for an addition to the state historical library by the university.

The house contended that the money should be appropriated unconditionally to the state school while the senate maintained the historical society should advise and consent. Numerous recesses were called as the bill traveled back and forth. The senate committee finally consented to reconsider from its posi tion. If the senate had so voted the bill would have been killed and the university would have been without Its appropriation. Difficulties again appeared in surmountable.

Senator Sauthoff claimed the floor. "I move, Mr. President." he drawled, "that the committee on conference be permitted to escort Senator Schumann out in the corridor." Forget Senatorial Dignity Senatorial ire and dignity were forgotten as the chuckle, which grew into a roar of; appreciation, swept the senate chamber. Senator Schumann appeared indignant but Senator Sauthoff immediately offered to kiss and make up, Sen-, ator Schumann grinned and declared he would "rather be shot." He then withdrew his motion, the senate reconsidering from its position, and concurred with the lower house. Before recessing Friday, the senate killed the Kettle-Moraine park bill, introduced by Senator Daggett.

The bill would have appropriated $50,000 for the purchase of the Moraine park region in Fond du La; and Sheboygan counties. Through disagreement of the committee on conference, the means of raising the funds the bill lost out. The senate killed a resolution by Senator Caldwell ordering the board of regents of the state university to accept all gifts to the school. This question was brought up two years ago when the school refused to accept large donations from the Rockefeller educational fund. Senator Cashman, university regent, explained the school could accept all gifts except those proferred by such foundations.

Senator Goodland's bovine tuber culosis bill, allowing increased indemnities for animal3 slaughtered after a retest, was included in the of the assembly. last minte rush, receiving approval Total $5,151,789 Appropriations, for normal schools of Wisconsin made by the legislature which finished its most important business last night, totaled Newspapers have carried various amounts as the total of the appropriations ranging from $4,500,000 to $7,000,000, their representatives having been confused on the total in the maze of amendments to the original joint finance committee bill introduced in the senate. Several amendments were added in the senate, including the appropriations. Then as the closing days of the session brought acceptances and rejections of the amendments by one house or the other in the bill's sev eral trips between the assembly and senate, the press representatives lost count of th total. Even the legislators themselves finally could not tell exactly how much the appropriation bill finally gave to the normal schools, even the chairman of the joint finance committee telling newspaper men that he had lost track of the total in the myriad of amendments.

Center of Interest The appropriation bill now be comes the center ot interest for points in the state having normal schools, because of the prediction, leard frequently the capitol, that Governor Zimmerman will veto the measure because of excessive expenditures.

Eyes on Washington All eyes appear to be turned on Washington to learn whether a situ ation will develop to change the stand of Hugh S. Gibson, chief American delegate, that the British plan for a treaty on cruisers, destroyers, and submarines was unacceptable, but there is no mistaking the feeling that only a miracle before the plenary session set for Monday can save the conference. 1 May Discuss Proposals British circles have indicated that the British might be disposed to discuss any American proposal for a certain number of eight-inch gun cruisers. Nothing came of this and the idea was not even proposed formally by the British delegates, Reginald Peck Wins Geneva Plane Race Lake Geneva, July 30 Water races, airplane a band concert, and finally a smoker given by the American Legion post for visit ing aviators marked Friday's activ ities in the four-day water and air regatta being held here under auspices of the Lake Geneva chamber of commerce.

Los Angeles, July 30 Aimee Semple McPherson Ohtensibly re mained at the head of Angelus Tern- pie today in spite of conflicting re ports regarding her future plans. Won't Go to Court Addressing her followers from the pulpit Friday night, the woman evangelist refused to submit to the demand of the branch churches by declaring the dispute would be settled between themselves. At the same time she announced that the courts would not be resorted to in the move to settle the dispute.

The bone of contention is whether Emma Schaffer, secretary, companion, and staunch supporter of the Evangelist, is legally a trustee of the Echo Park Evangelical associa tion which owns the church. Mrs. McPherson contends Miss Schaffer is a trustee. Her mother holds that she and the Evangelist are the only legal trustees, the third having died. In spite of her rout as business manager, Mrs.

Kennedy still is one of the trustees. The membership meeting failed to clear definitely the question of Mrs. McPherson's future status.
