tent, tonight completed organiza-
tion of the conservative monarch-
ist cabinet he heads as premier.
The swearing in of ministers was
completed today and the cabinet
held its first meeting for a definite
declaration of policy, which is
mainly to restore economic and
political normality and to seek
modification of certain sections of
the constitution of 1876.
Country Remains Calm.
In the meantime the country re-
mains calm but the opposition is
already speaking of refraining from
participating in elections to be
called by the government.
They also criticized the new gov-
ernment, saying it is too close to
the king and thus will lose its
independence.
The republicans continue attack-
ing the monarchy but the socialist
attitude will not be known until
Saturday when the directors of the
Spanish socialists and the General|
Union of Workers will decide.
But monarchists of all classes
have expressed their adherence to
the monarchy, expressing jubila-
tion over the solution of the crisis.
Provinces Are Loyal.
Numerous personalities h a v e
signed the albums in the royal.
palace and many telegrams have 
been received from the provinces
and also from abroad, confirming
allegiance to the throne.
The new ministers sworn in to-
day were Juan Ventosa, finance;
Admiral Luis Rivera, marine, and
Antonio Gascon y Marin, who were
unable to take the oath yesterday
at the same time as their col-
leagues.
A promise that the censorship
would be lifted when possible was
given at this ceremony by Juan de
la Cierva, minister of public works
and father of the inventor of the
autogyro, who declared: "The gov-
ernment desires to give the people
liberty. The censorship will be lifted
as soon as those who demand it
make this possible."

TRAVERSE CITY--An effort to
enlist all members of chambers of
commerce in the state to fight the
proposed reduction of four fire ap-
propriations in the administration's
budget bill now under considera-
tion at Lansing was started by the
local chamber today. James T.
Milligan, president of the Traverse
City chamber of commerce, said
the conservation department's for-

that construction of a 54-mile high

inaw and Tuscola county towns. It
was made possible by securing fran-
chises from villages and townships
through which the line will pass.

"Lives of princes and princesses
were very lonely," said G x a n d
Duchess Marie last night in a lec-
ture on "My Old World Background
for a Modern Life." "We had very
few friends as children that we
were allowed to play with. Those +
few were not permitted to call us,
by our first names, and if their be-
haviour did not come up to stand-
ard, if they were considered too
rowdy, they were not permitted to
come again."
The life of royalty is not all hap-
piness, according to the Duchess.
"My brother and I were jealous of
the children who came to see us,"
she continued. "They seemed hap-
pier, and lived more intimately with
their parents. With us, the differ-
ence in generations was not easily
bridged. Our father generally saw
us twice each day - once in the
afternoon, and in the evening when
he used to read to us before we
went to bed. Our drives in the
afternoon were regular ceremonies.
We went out in a carriage, attend-I
ed by coachmen and footmen in
their royal liveries. When we stop-'
ped to walk around, soldiers and
officers saluted, and crowds watch-
ed us and followed us."
The revolutionary period did not
first bring her in touch with mur-
der and assassination. "During the1
Russo-Japanese war, there was a
great deal of dissension and un-
popularity," she said. "At that time
we were living with my uncle, who7
was governor of Moscow. One eve-'
ning on the way to the theatre, an1
attempt was to be made to assassi-
nate him. However, the man who I
was to have given the signal was+
afraid, and we all escaped death.+
Because of the danger, our Uncle
rode alone all the time, and two1
days later he was murdered." ,

House to Postpone
Liquor Probe Here
(Bv Associa fed Press)
LANSING, Feb. 91 ----The house
indicated today it will take no
action on a resolution recom-
mending an investigation of liq-
uor conditions at the University
of Michigan until next week.
Action on the recommendation
submitted by the rules and reso-
lutions committee was deferred
today in view of the absence
from the session of Representa-
tive Frank P. Darin, of Detroit,
sponsor of the original resolu-
tion asking for a joint probe by
the house and senate. Repre-
sentative Darin is not expected
to attend the Friday session.
Pleading for more time to con-
siderthe recommendation, Rep-
resentative Andrew I-. Harnly,
Saginaw Baptist minister, said
he had not determined whether
the investigation was intended
to be "a smoke screen to divert
attention froi conditions at the
University or an honest inquiry
into moral conditions at the in-
stitution."

WASHINGTON, F e b. 19-
The Senate passed the veterans
bill tonight, 72 to 12, completing
one of the most devastating routs
of the administration on capitol
hill in the term of President Hoo-
ver.
The measure to which t h e
President only yesterday voiced
his vigorous objection was rush-

only the votes of 34 Republicans
for it but with the support of
many of t h e s e administration
members in debate also.
Applause rang from the galleries
and the floor as the overwhelming
majority was announced by Vice-
President Curtis at the completion
of the roll call shortly after 6 p. m.
Veterans Can Borrow Money.
The, bill would allow World War
veterans to borrow up to half the
amount of the face value of their

(By Associated Press)
LANSING, Feb. 19.-The ground-
Work for a major division over an
administration proposal was laid in
the legislature today.
Alarmed over a prospective exe-
cutive message on an automobile
drivers registration bill, friends ofs
Frank D. Fitzgerald, secretary of
state, rushed a measure simultan-
cously into both branches, designed
to retain in the state department
the division issuing drivers and
chauffeurs licenses. Charles Rubi-
ner, assistant attorney general, and
drafter of the administration mea-
sure, had prepared a message in
a bill proposing to shift the issu-
ance of the license to the depart-
ment of public safety. The Fitzger-
ald adherents, by prompt action,
forged into the legislature with
their measure first. It is expected
the administrative proposal will be
submitted in a day or two.
On the surface the conflicting
bills were merely measures dealing
with a technical detail. Under-
neath, however, there was great
activity and strong feeling. Fitz-
gerald, when he learned that the
administration reregistration bill
provided for taking from him the
issuance of 2,000,000 operators li-
censes, intimated he viewed the
move as an "unfriendly" gesture.
The state department, he said, has
the machinery for issuing licenses
and is acquainted with the work.
To remove so important a branch
of the state department during his1
first term as secretary of state
could be construed only as a slap,
he said.

as recently as Jan. 31 when he at-

Bolstered with these tremendous
majorities the legislation will be
sent to the White House tomorrow
and a certain veto was forecast.
Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mis-
sissippi, asserted in the Senate to-
day it would be passed over the
veto and the Republican leaders
tonight conceded this was probable.
Alarmed that the measure might
be killed by a pocket veto without
returning it to Congress before ad-
journment was stilled late in the
day by semi-official word from the
White House that Mr. Hoover would
veto it within 48 hours.
Democrats Support Solidly.
Democrats voted solidly for the
loan measure which was advanced
as a compromise for the full cash
payment of the certificates advo-
cated by many.
Senators Watson, of Indiana, and
McNary, of Oregon, the Republican
leaders, joined in the party bolt
to support the bill.
Watson will support the veto as
the administration leader but there
was little indication that any oth-
ers would switch over to help sus-
tain the veto.
Of the 12 who did not vote only
four were paired against the meas-
ure, thus giving the opposition a
total strength in the Senate of 16,
far less than the required one-third
plus one necessary to sustain a
presidential objection.
