of the inhabitants of the town were
upon him, and turning the revolver
upon himself, he sent shot in the
region of his heart, expiring few
minutes later.

from the balcony of which Morales
threw the bomb, viewed the body this
morning and completely identified it as
that of his recent guest.
1t was s o'clock Saturday evening
when Morales, disguised in the garb of
a worl<lngman, entered the station at
Torrejon de Ardos. He asked the time
the next train would depart for BARGE

He began to discuss with the woman

and she wished to know il the chances
were for or against her living.
On being assured that her chances
were good to survive she asked the

her attorney to "flX up things"
1t was then the unexpected snag was
struck in the determination of County

MISS LAWTON To
LEAVE BELASCO'S
GREENR00M RUM0RS POINT
TO A MISUNDERSTANDING
Trouble Seems to Have Started Over
Role In Next Weeks Show,
"Girl Left Behind
Me"

The Beasco may lose its leading
woman.
Because of misunderstanding Miss
Eugenia That's Lawton and the man
agement have reached the parting of
the ways, 1t is feared, though friends
are endeavoring to patch up truce
and may succeed by nightfall
Miss Lawton is just back from va
cation trip and has just completed a
successful weeks appearance in RIP
Van Wrinkle" as Gretchen. She had
consented to take the role, breaking her
vacation period with the understanding
that she was not to go on again at
present She had settled down near
Santa Monica to enjoy her stay on
the beach.
Why the Differences
This week, beginning tonight, the
farce Jane" is to be given at the
Belasco. Juliet Crosby was cast for
the leading role in order to yield to
Miss Lawtons desire for further rest.
For next week, however, "The Girl L
Left Behind Me" is billed and the stage
manager wished particularly to have
nllSS LAW lull CdSI III IL SCltoili iOAC.
Over this it appears the present mis-
understanding has arisen.
Neither Miss Lawton nor the man
agement will state whether the part
was unsatisfactory or whether the idea
of returning to the footlights so soon
was Objectionable.
From greenroom gossip it appears,
however, that Manager John H. Black
wood was called upon to decide the
controversy, and he ruled that unless
Miss Lawton did as directed by the
stage manager she would have to
give way to another leading woman.
Such was the situation at midnight
last night, from all accounts, though
there are many in and out of the COM
pany who look for an adjustment of the
little controversy.
Only recently Joseph Galbraith re-
tired as leading man at the Belasco
after spat with Stage Manager George
Barnum, and his successor, the popular
Walling will step into his shoes.

BY Associated Press.
BARCELONA, June 3.-Senor Mo-
rales, father of the anarchist who at
tempted to kill King Alfonso and Queen
Victoria and who committed suicide at
Terre de Joan Arteros Saturday night,
was seen at Barcelona today.
He is the proprietor of prosperous
factory there. He has a strong in
dlviduality and is highly respected.
Answering the questions of an inspec-
tor of police concerning his son, he
said:
Il wish to know nothing of this in
famous creature formerly bearing my
name. L have not considered him as
my son since l drove him from my
house in March.
"The reason for his being cast out
was purely domestic, and L beg to be
excused from discussing it. / do not
know whether he was connected with
the attempt on the lives of the king and
queen, as l have considered him read
since he was cast out March l."
Brother Gives Details
Morales brother Facundo gave these
details concerning the dead man:
AT an early age he was sent to the
mercantile centers of Germany and
France, where he became an expert in
textile production, but his natural bent
was chemistry, and he returned to his
home with a library of German and
French works on chemistry.
His morose disposition led to family
troubles which eliminated in his father
disowning him. Then Morales trans
lated German chemical books for the
Ecole Modern at Barcelona. s.,
"He lived quietly in boarding house
and had a few acquaintances. He left
Barcelona recently. saying that he
would be gone long time"

PLAN INCLINE At
GRAND CANYON
MAKES ASCENTS EASY AND
ECONOMICAL
Eastern Capitalists Project Cog Line
or Elevator at Wonder Spot
Which VIII Be an Engin-
eering Surprise

Rumor has it that eastern capitalists
are considering the construction of an
enormous elevator or incline from the
top of the Grand canyon to the rivers
edge, a distance which will be much
over 5000 feet.
1t is known that several eastern capl-
talists who may be interested in such a
project are at present in Los Angeles,
1t is also known that members of this
party will leave this city within the
next few days for the Grand canyon,
where they will look over the ground
and consult with prominent engineers
who are en- route from the east
The location of the rumored proposed
elevator is said to be in the vicinity
of the El Tovar hotel at the Grand
canyon.
If the elevator is built, which local
engineers say is feasible. 1t will be a
money making proposition and an en-
gineering wonder, say railroad and
hotel men.
At present tourists who visit the
canyon are compelled to go either by
donkeys or horseback to the top of
the canyon to obtain the views of the
canyon whose grandeur is known in
the most distant parts of the world.
Saving of Tourists
A great saving in expense to tourists
would be realized by the construction
of such an elevator or incline railway
system, say local railroad officials At
present the expense to the average
tourist to see the Grand canyon and to
make the trail to the rivers edge is
about $12 With the elevator or incline
railway the expense, it is said, will be
lowered to about SO or 81, making it
possible for thousands of more tourists
to visit the Grand canyon every year.
In the construction of such an incline
railway the geology of the locality will
play one of the most conspicuous parts.
AS many as seven different strata must
be passed over by the railway and the
resistance of these seven different
layers against the action of the natural
elements varies vastly.
A feature of such a construction is
that the greatest weight will fall to the
weakest stratum-the limestone which
forms the top layer of the canyon.
Following the limestone and de-
SceIlulIlB 10 tne DOUtOnl Oh. Ine canyon
the following geological strata are EN-
countered: Cross-bedded sandstone, red
sandstone, blue limestone, green shales,
'tonto" sandstone and granite. Per-
pendicularly there are 500 feet of lime
stone, 500 feet of cross-bedded sand
stone, 1900 feet of red sandstone, $50
feet of blue limestone, 700 feet of green
shales. $50 feet of "tonto" sandstone
and 1900 feet of granite.
Anchorage Problem
The anchorirg OF an incline railroad
to such> geological formations will call
into play the knowledge of the best
geologists and the experience of the
hest engineers in the construction of in
cline railways.
What the outcome of the rumored
project will be is a matter of future
development, say men who have heard
of the possible construction of an in
cline railway at the Grand canyon. But
the opinion of railroad men and en-
gineers in Los Angeles is that 1t would
he one of the most wonderful incline
railways in the world.
