ASSISI, "Oct. 26. — Franciscan mysticism blended with royal pomp when Princess Giovanna of Savoy became the wife foday of Boris III of Bulgaria in a sanctuary built over the humble tomb of St. Francis. At 10 a..m. she drove .,up the long mile from the train, where she had donned her white silk bridal dress and a veil which is a priceless heirloom. As the car appeared, escorted by cavalry of the Royal Household Guards with shining breastplates, this city rang with shouts of joy and welcome from 30,000 inhabitants and visi- tors. The Princess had driven from the train in an open auto- mobile, and just before she reached the portals of the church a rain storm broke with fury. Attendants at the door of the basilica hastened to the side of the carriage with umbrellas, but be- fore the bride could get into the shelter of the doors her wedding gown had been wet and her veil blown in disarray. King Boris and his suite, who had also arrived in open landaus were drenched. Leaning on the arm of her brother, Crown Prince Humbert, the Princess, with the wedding party of 200 guests, passed slowly down the center aisle, and, while the vested choir sang the invoca- tion “Oh, Lord, Make Safe Our King,” they gathered about the altar for the ceremony. Heralds in medieval dress blew a fanfare on silver trumpets as the bridal pair passed down the aisle. Giotto’s frescoes alone decorated the ancient walls and masses of lilies shone on the high altar. To the strains of Franciscan music the couple knelt on a fald stool of an- cient medieval days. Royalty Among Guests. At the left of the altar sat Gio- vanna’s parents, King Victor Em- manuel and Queen Elena; King Boris’ father, former King Ferdi- nand of Bulgaria, and Sophie, for- mer Queen of Greece. Behind them were 54 Princes and Princes- ses of the royal blood, chiefly of the houses of Bourbon aud Savoy. At the right of the altar stood Premier Mussolini in the black and gold uniform of the Bulgarian dip- lomatic corps, and state officials from Italy and Bulgaria. By royal command, in respect for the Franciscan sanctuary, not 2 single jewel was worn. King Boris, wore the picturesque uniform of the Bulgarian cavalry. Most of the men of the party were in uniform with Bulgarian or Itali- an decorations. The ceremony in itself, which was very short, was performed by Father Risso, a Franciscan, specially delegated by the Pope. The mass was sung by Francis- can monks. The impressive scene so moved the bride that she wept. King Boris with a smile of affec- tion whispered encouragement, and the ceremony over, they descend- ed to the crypt of the church for a prayer before the tomb of the bride’s ancestress, Maria Cristina. But as every bell in the hun- dred belfries of Assisi began peal- ing the bride smiled on the crowds who welcomed her as Queen, Then in the still pelting rainstorm King Boris and his bride entered closea carriages for the short drive to the communal palace. The bride’s witneses were the Duke D’Aosta, her great uncle, and Prince Philip of Hesse, her brother-in-law. Boris’ witnesses were his brother, Cyril, - and his brother-in-law, Duke Albert of Wuerttemburg. Milanoff, keeper of the Bulgarian seal, affixed it to the document and Premier Liapt- choff and Congressional President Naidenoff witnessed it for Bul- garia, thus giving it the effect of a civil act according to the Bul- garian law. Mussolini, as crown notary and Luigi Federzoni, for the Italian Senate, witnessed it for the Italian Government. Cheered by Crowds. The drive to the villa Costanzt was another triumph. The road was lined with cheering thousands, gathered from all parts of Umbria. By Queen Elena’s express wish the luncheon party was simple and as informal as possible. After lunch- eon Giovanna put on her travel- ing costume and shortly before 3 o'clock the royal couple left in a closed car for a special train which was to take them to Brindisi where tomorrow at Brindisi they will embark on the Bulgarian royal yacht Czar Ferdinand for a trip to Bulgaria where they will arrive in about a week. Soon afterward the long-deferred coronation of Boris will take place. Kansas City Passes Charity Goal.

By the Jefferson City Correspond- ent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Oct. 26. — Constitutionality of the law under which ouster proceedings were filed in the Missouri Supreme Court against Larry Brunk, sus- pended State Treasurer, by Attor- ney-Genera] Shartel, was attacked in a motion filed in the court late today by Brunk’s attorney. The court was .asked in the motion to first pass on validity of the law, and, if the constitutional point was decided against Brunk, to permit him then to file an answer to the ouster suit and to proceed with hearing of that suit on its merits. Brunk previously had stated that he did not desire to rely on legal technicalities in his defense against charges, but that he desired the case to be heard on its merits. Basis of Ouster Proceedings. Gov. Caulfield suspended Brunk as State Treasurer, Oct. 14, as has been told, after his investigators discovered irregularities in pay- ments of interest on State deposits by the defunct Bank of Aurora in Brunk’s home town. The investi- gators reported the bank had with- held $4903 from interest due the State. Of this amount, $2950 was deposited in a special account in the bank known as the “Brunk Rent Account,” against which were charged payments on notes Brunk owed the bank and payments of other personal obligations of Brunk, it was charged. Brunk has denied knowledge of the account, or the withholding of funds due the State, or the payments credited against his obligations. In suspending Brunk, the Gov- ernor directed the Attorney-Gen- eral to institute quo warranto pro- ceedings in the Supreme Court to oust Brunk from office. The Governor acted under sec- tion 13,337 of the revised statutes of Missouri, 1919. This section provides that if the State Auditor or State Treasurer fail to make re- ports to the Governor, as required by law, or make false reports, or if the State Treasurer fails to de- posit State funds as required by law, or withdraws such funds in a manner contrary to law, the Gov- ernor shall immediately suspend the offending official, take charge of his office, and direct the Attor- ney-General to bring ouster pro- ceedings in Supreme Court to re- move the suspended official from office. Based on the transactions in the Bank of Aurora, reported by the investigators, the Governor sus- pended Brunk on charges of mak- ing false reports, with failure to deposit State funds as required by law, and with withdrawing State funds in a manner not provided by law. The ouster proceedings, filed Oct. 20, contained the same charges. Attacks Court’s Jurisdiction. Brunk’s motion, filed by his at- torney, John G. Madden.of Kansas City, states Brunk denies that the court has jurisdiction and deniés that the venue of the proceeding lies here. Leave was asked to sub- mit these questions to the Supreme Court, by demurrer or motion, on or before the expiration of the 30 days granted by the court for the filing of Brunk’s return to the writ of quo warranto issued the day after the suit was filed. The court was asked to rule upon these on them against Brunk, to grant him leave to file his return to the suit and to contest it upon the merits of the charges. Should the court hold the law is constitutional, the ouster = suit will proceed. If the court holds the law is invalid, the ouster suit against Brunk, as well as the sus- pension order, would be invalidated and he apparently would be rein- stated in office. Such a ruling, however, Attorney-General from instituting action under other sections of the law covering the alleged offenses. on of Section 13,337 relates only to the State Auditor and State Treasurer. They are the only two elective State officials who may be. re- Continued on Page 3, Column 4. points, and, in the event it ruled would not prevent thes, HURLEY ASSAILS “PADD LIARS WHO VILLIFY HOOVER” | Secretary of War Says Na- tion Has Turned to His Chief in Every Crisis for Last 16 Years. RECALLS RIOTING IN WAKE OF 1896 PANIC Asserts President Has Avert- ed Similar Disaster in 1930 — Urges Tiuttle’s Election in New York. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Oct. 25 —Patrick J. Hurley, Secretary of War, as- sailed the “muckrakers and paid liars hired for the sole purpose of vilifying the President” in an ad- dress tonight in which he urged the election of Charles H. “‘uttle as Governor of New York. “Able strategists, nationally known obstructionists, are devot- ing their entire time to defeating the President’s program,” he said. “Kept muckrakers, would-be char- acter assassins are hired for the sole purpose of vilifying the Presi- dent. By these means they try to destroy his leadership and prevent the success of his economic pro- gram.” The Secretary of War declared the United States owes to President Hoover's leadership the tranquility which he said exists in this coun- try in the face of the world-wide economic depression. Recalls Riots of 1896. “National business leaders called into conference after the stock market collapse have said that it is due to Hervert Hoover alone that we have not witnessed such riot- ing and bloodshed as followed in the wake of the panic of 1896.” Hurley continued, adding that “half of the world was either in open or incipient revolution.” “In all the great crises of the past 16 years the nation has turned to Mr. Hoover,” he said, outlining briefly the President’s services since 1914 when he was called on to organize relief for the starving women and children of warring Europe, to the Mississippi flood re- lief program and the present eco- nomic crises. “Our President, our government, our business, labor, and agricul- tural leaders are meeting the problems forced upon us with in- telligencs and courage.” Secre- tary Hurley continued, “by agree- ments brought about by our Presi- dent our scale of wages is being maintained throughout the coun- try. In every wther depression they have been reduced. In every other country they are being re- duced now. “Steady Pressure of Policies.” “The steady pressure of the President's policies has averted dis- aster.” “The vast majority of the peo- ple are supporting his economic program,” Hurley concluded. “His splendid leadership cannot be de- stroyed by false propaganda of hirelings.”’ The Secretary made a strong appeal for the election of Tuttle and the rest of the state Republi- can ticket, particularly for the re- election of Ruth Pratt to Con- gress from the Seventeenth Dis- trict. He praised her for “intelli- gence and loyalty to the leadership of her party.” JEWEL ROBBERY ON LEVIATHAN $5000 Theft from American Wom- 2 Bape Reported dine Scotland Yard, By the Associated SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 25.—Scot- land Yard has been asked to in- vestigate a $5000 jewel robbery on the liner Leviathan which arrived yesterday.

By the Associated Press. NIUFOU ISLAND, Oct. 25.— Discovery of a new wave length in the spectra of the sun’s corona and further information on the move- ments of the moon were announced today by American scientists as the fruits of their observation of the solar eclipse here Wednesday. Spectrographs obtained by Dr. S. A. Mitchell, scientific head of the American Naval Observatory expedition, caught manifestations of the heretofore unknown wave length, which showed itself at 6770 angstrom units.» An angstrom unit is one one- -hundred- millionth ofa centimeter. The data is expected to be use- ful in computing movements of the moon and in forecasting future eclipses. Coronal disturbances on both the east and west edges of the sun were recorded. These appeared to have had their origin in eruptive promi- nences. The detail shown in the spectrographic lines of the coro- nium (chief constituent gas of the Corona) did not resemble that ex- hibited by the prominences. Changes in coronal forms shown by the successive spectra indicated These disturbances could be traced to as far as 100,000 miles beyond | violent motion in the inner Corona. the sun’s surface and, as far as is known, never have been observed before. Development of photographic plates indicated the expedition had been successful beyond expecta- tions. A shortage of fresh water delayed developing. This became a difficult job when fresh water had to be brought ashore from the U. 8S. S. Tanager and protected from lava dust blown in by the trade winds. Photographs of exceptional beau- ty and detail were obtained, espe- cially nine planes from the 63-foot tower camera and three from the 65-foot horizontal camera, con- structed as an afterthought from scrap material and a spare lens. Beautiful coronal streamers with especially interesting strawberry- shaped domes were conspicuous on all photographs taken by all the cameras, The data indicates the totality took place two seconds earlier than computed and was of 93.9 seconds duration. Photographs obtained by Dr. Mitchell showed exquisite definition through a large range in wave length from 3200 angstrom units in the violent classification to 7800 in the red. Successful photographs of the flash spectrum were obtained both at the beginning and end of totality. ————— SNOW STORM SWEEPS NEW ENGLAND STATES Fall of 20 Inches in Some Sec- tions—Much Damage to Wires.

BODIES OF 38 FOUND, 25 INJURED RESCUED Gas Chokes Shafts, Ham- pering Relief Workers — Disaster in Saar Region Follows Death of 262 at Alsdorf. By the Associated Press. SAARBRUECKEN, Germany, Oct 25.—Germany’s second coal mine disaster within a week Is thought to have-resulted in the loss of 100 miners’ lives today in the workings of the Maybach mine at Quierschiete, heart of the Saar Valley coal region. An explosion trapped the miners deep in a shaft. The management of the mine announced at 10 p. m. that 930 men still were under- ground and that probably all had perished. Late in the night the bodies of 38 dead had been recovered. Twenty- five injured had been brought to the surface. The explosion was ascribed to fire damp, but a thorough inves- tigation is planned. Gas Hampers Rescue Work. An accurate check of the casual- tiles was impossible early this eve- ning, though the company made every effort in this direction while rescue workers attempted to reach from two sides the men entombed in the shaft. The mine shafts were choked with gas which ham- pered the rescue work, The disaster followed close upon that at the Alsdorf mine, in which 262 miners were killed. The bod- les of the miners at Alsdorf were buried this morning. Rumors in the nearby town of Friedrichstal put the missing as high as 140, while the company in the evening admitted there were 50 and later that there were $0, Smoke Pours From Pit. Clouds of smoke poured from the pit-mouth, and with gas still in the shafts below, doubt was ex- pressed whether many of the miss- ing would be recovered alive. Some engineers said they thought a benzol engine on the fourth level had exploded, igniting gases from the coal seams, but nothing was certain. The Maybach mine was formerly state-owned and had been sur- rendered to France for 15 years under the terms of the Te treaty.
