Li .iiJJY I- THE MICHIGAN DAILY I I I I King's Subjects File Past Body I ast 1Ti'inuite; Crowds Wait In Misty Rain At Westminster Hall For Final Glimpse LONDON, Jan. 24.--(P)- The first of 1,000,000 sorrowing pilgrims filed today past the bier of the late King George V - a black catafalque, ap- proached on purple-carpeted steps, in the ancient palace of Westminster. There, the new King Edward VIII and the bereaved royal family left their liege for four days of public homage before the final service and burial next Tuesday at Windsor. As Big Ben boomed the nation's pilgrimage began. When the famous clock strikes 10 p.m. Monday, authorities said, at least 1;000,000 of the dead sovereign's sub- jects - men, women and children alike - will have joined in this last act of tribute. Long before last midnight, crowds gathered in the streets about the medieval Westminster Hall, sacrific- ing their sleep and braving a misty rain to be among the first to pay tribute to their late king. Await Dawn Huddled in mufflers and heavy overcoats, they leaned throughout the night against the grey stones of the palace, which also houses Parliament. When a rain-washed dawn broke over the rooftops of London, the queue stretched nearly a mile. Through the great south window of Westminster Hall, the crowds could see the glow cast by the flickering candles where the monarch lay, alone with his guards. The flag-draped catafalque, bear- ing the royal coffin, formed an island of light amid the shadowy spaces of the ancient hall which the late King once called "the heart of our mighty empire." He spoke those words on May 9 when-he received the congratulations of Parliament on his silver jubilee- the last time he was at this spot alive. Ancient Glory The age-old rafters looked down once more on the glory of medieval uniforms as a bodyguard kept vigil through the long watches of the night., At each of the four corners of the catafalque stood a Life Guard, his head bowed. A little deeper in the gloom stood four yeomen. One of the yeomen of the guard, exhausted by the ordeal, collapsed and was carried from the hall. With- out a word, another took his place. When the great crowd of pilgrims at last surged into the building, it was shepherded through wooden barriers, in lines four abreast, along both sides of the coffin. Rich and poor, young and old,,they flowed by throughout the day at an estimated rate of 15,000 persons an hour. Many countryfolk, bewildered by the whirling traffic of metropolitan London, joined the throng. "I wanted to make certain of see- ing my King once more," said one old man who had traveled all night.

Rumors among some Democrats in Congress that Jesse Jones (above) would replace Henry Mor- genthau, Jr., as secretary of the treasury were met with statements by administration heads no such change was in prospect. Trust Busting Predicted As Election Issue Court Developments Bring Back Old Slogan Of Former Campaigns WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. - (I') - The old cry, "Bust the Trusts," is be- ing heard again with increasing fre- quency. Three recent developments, two in the United States Supreme Court, call to mind the slogan that has played a part in so much American history. The court has scheduled oral ar- guments for Feb. 3 in an anti-trust action against the huge Sugar In- stitute. Government lawyers won a Su- preme Court review in a case against a subsidiary of the United States Steel Corp. - the Elgin, Joliet East- ern Railway. Justice Department officials made known recently they had been asked to investigate reports that mergers of large steel corporations are im- pending. With a presidential campaign al- ready producing political repercus- sions, the injection of "trust bust- ing" as an issue might produce varied results. Senator William E. Borah (Rep.) Idaho, already has described "mon- opoly" as a leading issue. Most observers agree that anti- trust activity reached its peak short- ly after the turn of the century under Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. In later years, court assaults on big business did not arouse so much popular interest, though the battle was renewed intermittently. The Sugar Institute case was car- ried to the Supreme Court by 15 of the largest refiners. New Plans Of wpA Will Cuti 'SuW f'sBY 500 Many Branch Offices To Close; Hold Emergency Recruiting Is Over LANSING. Jan. 24.-(MP)-- The Works Progress Administration ma-ped, today, the detais for a reor- ganization of its administrative staff n Michigan designed to reduce it by 500 employes. Frederick S. Schouman, adminis- trative assistant to Harry L. Pierson, WPA administrator for Michigan, said the staff would be cut from 1,521 em- plAoyes to 1,020. Schouman explained that the emer- gency work of recruiting WPA em- ployes is completed, and the personnel department no longer is needed. It was headed by James E. Mogan, for- mer director of the state board of tax administration. Many branch district offices will be closed, Schouman said, and in others the personnel will be reduced to an engineer and a stenographer. The re-organization is in line with a bulletin issued by Harry L. Hopkins, National WPA director. The safety division and the projects and planning division will be merged into an operations administration. Louis M. Nims, of Saginaw, former head of the projects planning divi- sion, will direct it. Frank Watters, of Lansing, will direct the new finance and statistics division which will replace the former finance and reports administrations. The employment division will ab- sorb the labor management and in- take and certificates offices. It will be under the direction of James Bry- ant, of Battle Creek, who formerly directed labor management. Miss Catherin Murray, who for- merly directed women's projects, will have charge of a fourth new depart- ment described as the women's and professional propects division. It will include public services such as edu- cational programs and all women's in- terests. 75 Eggs, 5 Minutes Flat, Is Kansan' s Championship Bid DETROIT, Jan. 24 - (/P) - It seems that Detroiters were a bit hasty in proclaiming Marco Bommarito the egg eating champion of the world. Bommarito's feat of consuming 61 raw eggs was widely heralded in these parts as a championship per- formance but to Emile (Bud) Gil- lette, of Arcadia, Kans., Bommarito is only a minor leaguer . Gillette wrote the following letter to a Detroit newspaper: "I claim the raw egg eating cham- pionship. I read about this fellow in your city but I eat 36 eggs in 1 minute and 14 seconds, and 51 eggs in three minutes and I can eat 75 eggs in five minutes. Once after eating 51 eggs I ate a 75 cent din- ner and that was just a starter. I have eaten 11 pounds of bananas at one sitting, only to get up and eat three more pounds. I can beat Mr. Bommarito any time he feels like it." New Courses To Be Given By Mr. James Plumer From Bequest Of Charles Freer, '04 Mr. James Marshall Plumer, who has been appointed Freer Fellow and Lecturer on Far. Eastern Art, will give two courses in Far Eastern Art next semester, Dr. F. E. Robbins an- nounced yesterday. The Charles L. Freer award is given! each year to aid research work for the Freer Oriental Art Collection now belonging to the Smithsonian Insti- tute and for the publication of the results thereof. The bequest was given by Mr. Freer, '04, honorary A.M., of Detroit, and amounted to ap- proximately $60,000 to the University for carrying on this work. Each year the fellow-lecturer is appointed by the University and gives two courses in Chinese and Japanese art, tracing its development from ancient times to the present as it is manifested in painting, sculp- ture, architecture, ceramics, bronze and jade, and the minor decorative arts. Mr. Plumer is a graduate of Har- vard and a native of Massachusetts. Since 1923 he has been in the service of the Chinese Government in the department of Maritime Customs. Dr. Robbins said that Mr. Plummer holds three certificates for proficiency in Chinese language, has traveled ex- tensively in China andhas a pro- found knowledge of Chinese art and history. Frank H. Simonds Dies Of Pneumonia WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-(P)- Frank H. Simonds, journalist who predicted the World war with un- canny accuracy of detail, died at his home here Thursday of pneumonia. Simonds' death at the age of 58 ended a 35-year career as newspaper- man, historian and commentator on foreign affairs. Of New England stock, Simonds was graduated from Harvard in 1900. He began immediately a newspaper career. He was in the Balkans when the fuse of European disorder began sput- tering, and it was there he wrote the editorial prediction of the world con- flict. A profound student of foreign affairs, Simonds saw that summer beyond the Serbian incident and real- ized what the world might expect during the next decade. His editorialI cabled to New York from Greece, was published July 25, 1914. Donor To Science 'Frank Murphy ForGovernor, St r eii Mia .DETROIT, Jan. 24.-UP)-A "Frank Murphy for governor" boom struck a snag today in an assertion by the former Detroit mayor that he feels his job as high commissioner of the Philippines is not yet completed. Charles W. Babcock, a Detroit at- torney, and a volunteer committee began the circulation of nomination, petitions for Murphy yesterday. In Washington members of the Michigan congressional delegation said that Murphy's candidacy would be "pleasing" both to Michigan mem- bers of congress and to the national administration. In Manila, however, Murphy said that any efforts to inject him into Michigan politics were not of his sponsorship. "Michigan is my home," he said, "and to me it is the first state in the union. I am ready for any service in her behalf if needed. In the Democratic party, however, there are many leaders well qualified for the governorship and I cannot believe that it is necessary to draft me for the job. -Associated Press noto- Without a thought of personal profit, Dr. Leroy L. Hartman, Co- lumbia University scientist, has giv- en free of charge to the dentistry profession a secret formula he per- fected that eliminates pain in den- tal work. Town's Only Doctor Let Out Of Prison HILLSDALE, Mich., Jan. 24. -(UP) - Dr. E. Calvin Bechtol, only physi- cian in the village of Montgomery, resumed his practice Thursday, after three weeks spent in the county jail, Dr. Bechtol was sent to jail when he refused to abide by a court order to pay the $485 attorney fees con- tracted by his wife in a divorce suit which was dismissed. A delegation of Montgomery residents appealed for his release, on the grounds that his detention left the village without medical service, but the court was adamant. The doctor paid Thursday. .i Find New Way Of ChromiumPlatini ii ulng th w=ool ov tlem-'Ci: ther ei" yf*'r: . ue't i-city, Itw, iinakig iL act jut i;I- ferent than normal, according to Dr. Richard Schneidewind of the depart- ment of electrical engineering. They have developed an improved process to secure an even deposition of chrom- ium on metals, he said. Dr. Schneidewind explained that all electricity, including lightning, takes the path of least electrical resistance and naturally tends to strike high, sharp points. He con- tinued that in an electroplating bath most of the current goes to the bumps and raised places on the metal surface and a heavy deposition of chromium occurs there, but nearby in a hollow place, a coating barely sufficient to cover the surface is se- cured. He stated that in his new process special networks of wire are used to conduct the current into the de- pressions and attain an even distribu- tion of chromium on the metal. One manufacturer reported his pro- duction of chromium plated frying pans could be raised from 65 to 100 an hour because of the advantages of this new process. t } ,j r 1 l' t 1 C 3 9 ill ail OF All^ Ali -_ 1869 1936 Today's Special 1 Doz.
