Margherita celebrated her 74th birthday anniversary on November 20. The actual cause of death was a cerebral blood dot which developed I last night, but a heavily contributing cause was the serious weakening of her powers of resistance by the attack of pleural pneumonia which began ear ly In November. Throughout the night the end was postponed by fre (pieut administration of oxygen. The B netunl coming of death was hardly K apparent to the little group around the bed. From the beginning of the 24-hour ■ battle between the Queen Mother's astonishingly strong constitution and the cerebral obstruction it was appar ent that tlie result was merely a ques tion of hours, and all the members of the family hurried here. ■ The King and Queen came from H Home; Margherita's favorite grand child, Crown Prince Humbert, and her brother, the Duke of Genoa, from V Turin; and her nephews, the Count of Turin and the Duke of Aosta from Florenee-'and Naples. |W l News of the sudden change for the V* worse in Margherita's condition, and U then the announcement of her death g caused a wave of profound emotion to sweep over the nation. * Margherita was the best beloved queen Italy had ever had, not, only IB because of her personal sweetness and charm, but because she was herself an Italian, being born a princes of Savoy. Extreme unction was administered j to the dying queen by Father Sismon dini, Who entered the death chamber at 8 o’clock this morning, and re ; uniiiied for nearly an hour. The first message of condolence to | arrive at the eastle was from I’re i mier Mussolini. Others followed from Signor Tittoni. president of the Sen ate; Signor ("azartano, president of the chamber of deputies; members of the cabinet, and other notables. Alabama Pass is Still Talked on Coast. Pasadena, Cal., Jan. 3.—Which Alabama player heaved the long for t ward pass to Johnny Mack Itrown that resulted in the University of Alabama’s second touchdown ngainst the University of Washington in Friday's football game here is a query that still is unrevealed. > Eckersall. who refereed the game, says Dooley Hubert threw the ball 53 yards to Brown. Coach Wallace Wade and Captain Rruee Jones credited Grant Gillis with the remarkable toss. Gillis has ndmitted that be heaved the pass. As to the length of the pass, press box witnesses are not agreed. f t With the passing of time, however, JL their estimate is shrinking, most of | ** them now declaring the distance was I approximately 55 yards, although some maintain it was 65 yards.
