SANDRINGHAM, England, Nov. 20.
(A. P.) Queen Mother Alexandra,
widow of King Edward VII and mother
of King George V, died late this after

Queen Alexandra (mused to rent
. amid the peaceful rural surroundings
V which she loved so well. Since Thurs
day morning, when the doctors' an
nouncement made it patent (hut the
aged queen was in a critical condition,
the hamlet of Sandringliain and its
' tiny neighbors, Wolferton and Der
Bingham, which claimed her for their
. very own, had wafted heavy-hearted
for the end.
- Throughout the long hours little,'
groups linered, wet-eyed at the por
tals of the royal residence, hoping
against hope for some word that their
beloved mistress would survive.
Within a few days (December 1) the
queen mother would have celebrated
the 8tst anniversary of her birth and
nil the Inhabitants had been preparing
in elaborate fafthlon to celebrate the
event at Samirtnglinm house.
A bulletin signed by the attending
physicians. Dr. F. J. Williams ami Sir
Thomas Horder, said:
"Her majesty, Queen Alexandra,
passed away at 5:25 o'clock. The
k Itliiff, queen and members of the
f royal family were present."
The Prince of Wales and the Duke
of York were due to arrive at Wolfer
ton. near Sandringham, by train at
6:29 o'clock but the train was 16
minutes late. The kind's sons were
escorted to the royal waiting room of
the Wolferton station, where the sta
tion master broke the news of their
ffrnmininthftr's death.
All through the trying hours of j
darkness there was keenest anxiety
among the people of the district, nil
nf whom knew the aged widow of Kd- I
ward XII. almost as one of their
family. Little groups waited along
the highway to Sandringham scan
ning every passing vehicle nnd milt-j
mlttlng any arrlvnis from the royal .
house to searching questioning. I
Others flocked to. the plnces where
(he telegraph instalments had been
installed.
This morning the princess royal,
,o"Up. eldest of Alexandra's three
daughters, arrived from London io
inlti the ether royalties here. Thus
nil the surviving children of the queen
mother were 'at Sandringham.
One of the most pathetic figures on
the scene during the last trying hours
was the aged Mlsff Charlotte Knollys.

SAYSPRESIDENT
In N. Y. Speech Mr. Coolidge
Declares Legitimate Busi
ness Will Not Be Interfered
With Urges Adherence to
World Court.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20. (A. F.)
Legitimate business has the assurance
of President Coolidge that his admin
istration will not interfere with its
activities long as they are conduct
ed on true business lines and kept
within legitimate bounds.
In an address lam night before the
.New York state chamber, of . com
merce the president advocated the
largest possible co-operation between
government und business and empha
sized that the whole policy, pf the gov
oinnifitt in Its syHtem of opposition to
monopoly and its public regulation Of
transportation ami trade has ben
animated by a desire to have business
remain -business.
"The present generation of busi
ness," lie added, "almost universally
throughout Its responsible organ izt
tion and management,.' has shown
every disposition to correct Its own
abuses with as little intervention from
the government as possible.
"l'roper regulation and control are
dlsugreeable and expensive. They
represent the suffering that the just
must endure because of the unjust.
They are a part of the price which
must be paid to promote the cause of
economic justice.'
During the address, which was In
terrupted by frequent bursts of ap
plause, the president pointed out that
the government was rendering a. ser
vice in suggesting elimination of
waste in industry; advocated contin
ued effort for economy nnd efficien
cy; expressed opposition to loans to
foreign nations fur use in maintaining
big armies and navies and appealed
for support for the wprld court pro
posal. Applauded by his audience, the
president declared that "with our al
ready enormous and constantly In
creasing interest abroad, there are
constantly accumulating reasons why
we should signify our adherence to
the permanent court of international
justice."
After his address the president
boarded a special train for a fast run
to Washington, pleased that his fath
er. Colomd John O. Coolidge had lis
tened to his address on the radio.
Major James K. Coupal, the presi
dent's physician, however, went to
Plymouth, Vt., to attend Colonel
t'iMillilge and to urge him to go to
Washington n soon as possible to

SELLING AT 42 CIS.
ROBEBUnO. Ore., Nov. 20. The
Thanksgiving market opened today,
the rceeiplH being exceptionally light.
The market opened at a price of 41
cents, which quickly went to '42
centH as the birds started corning
In. ' With the number of birds very
amall, competition forced the price
upward to 43 cents shortly after 10
a. m., but H was thought probable
that this price would not hold. Buy
ers are apparently trying, to keep
the price under the 43c mark, while
growers are holding out for a better
price. Only birds in prime condl

la the advice of Sir Harry H. Bruce-.

The advice - was given before the
members of the National Society of

Ian claimed that most of the cher
ished traditions .of the nursery are
not only fallacious but Injurious to
youngsters. I
"It is a good thing to tickle
bullies," said Sir Harry. "It makes
them laugh, und thus they expand
their lungs and breathe fresh air."
Continuing his dlssertlon, Sir Harry
contended that It was wrong where
there are children to cease all noise
when the babies are asleop. It was
much better, ho believed, that the
child should be prepared for the
rough and tumble of later -life-through

Former Judge Advocate - Is
Completely Exonerated of
' Charges Made By Mrs.

In Line of Duty-rWidow's
Attorney Protests Verdict
WASHINGTON, Nor. 20. (A. P.)
Captain Paul Foley was exonerated
today by tbe Shenandoah naval court
ot Inquiry of Mrs. Margaret Rosa
Lansdowne's charge tbat he sought to
sway her testimony. .
The court held tbat Captain Foley,
Its former Judge advocate, was not
guilty either of seeking to cause false
testimony to be offered before the
court, or of seeking by - "improper
means to Influence" the widow of the
Shenandoah's commander. , ..
The decision read by Rear Admiral
Hilary P. Jones, president of the
court, follows:
"It appears to the court after A
careful consideration of all evidence
adduced and of record In that connec
tion that the defendant. Captain Pant
Foley, United States navy; late the
'Judge advocate of this court. Is not
,eullty of seeking and endeavoring to
. cause false testimony to be offered
before this court and la not guilty of
seeking and endeavoring by Improper
means to influence a witness about to
tostlfy before this court, and It fur
ther being a matter of Judicial nottoe
of this court that-It wag an . obligation
Imposed by lawful regulation upon
I Captain Foley as Judge advocate to
intake a preliminary examination of
witnesses to be examined before this
court, and It further appearing to this
court upon consideration as aforesaid
that the accused Captain Foley has In
no wise been guilty of improper or
unethical qonduct as such Judge advo
cate, and all of the evidence known r
to the court having been adduced be
fore It and made a part of Its record;
"It Is hereby adjudged and ordered
that the said defendant, Captain Paul
Foley, United States navy, la not ,
guilty ' ot the ' matters and things 1
alleged against him,
"Bald defendant Is hereby dis
charged and released from further at
tendance upon this court." -
WASHINGTON, Nov. JO. (A. P.)
While the Shenandoah naval court of
Inquiry wsb weighing today the guilt
or Innocence of its former Judge advo
cate, Captain Paul Foley, Seoretary
Wilbur had before him a formal re
quest of counsel for Mrs. Margaret
Ross Lansdowne that the oourt be dis
charged from further duties because
of the manner In which it conducted
tbe Inquiry into ber charge against
that otflcer. -
The primary complaint of Mrs.
Lattsdowne's counsel, Joseph D&vles,
former chairman ot the federal trade
communion, was that Mrs. Lansdowne
upon her appearance on the witness
stand had been denied counsel while
Captain Foley had been permitted to
have counsel to cross-examine all wlt
najises called to support her charge
that he bad sought to sway her testi
mony. ' Moreover, Mr. Davlei argued that
the court was without authority to
Investigate the charge that "a hostile
juifce advocate (Major Henry Leon
ard) was the Judge of tbe propriety
of his own questions," and that be
also while "seeking to impeach her '
testimony, absolutely controls the
character of questions which shall be
asked nf other witnesses."
