ALFONSO CARRIES
A DUMMY BABY

London, Nov. st Is learned
from a trustworthy diplomatic source
that the baby brought TO England
with the king and queen of Spain
was not the genuine royal infant, but
a dummy. The real heir apparent
came some days ahead of its par
ents. It having been decided that 1t
would be taking too great a risk for
the king and his heir to travel to-
gether, In view of the possibilities
of an anarchist outrage or even an
accident.
When this ruse was being decid-
ed upon the contingency of the iden-
tity of the royal infant being con-
tested II its parents and the dunn
my were blown up was fully con-
sidered and a formal state paper
was prepared, duly attested by high
ministerial and court authorities at
Madrid, setting forth the circum-
stances and the reasons why the eX-
pedient was adopted. The return OF
the royal babe to Madrid Will also
be secretly arranged.
King Alfonso has disproved the
popular belief about mothers-in-law
at any rate in his own case. AL
though he is brought much into con-
tact with her, the king has had none
of the traditional friction with nls
wife's mother.

PLENTY OF MONEY TO
MOVE NORTHWEST
CROPS
Bankers Have Obtained Nee.
eSSdry Funds to Permit
Sale of Grain.

St. Paul, Mimi, Nov. &c. II.
Bailey. president of the First Ma
tional bank, announcEl last night
that as a result of conference of
representatives Of Duluth, st. Paul,
and Minneapolis banks with New
York financial interests. arrange
ments have been made whereby
money Will be secured for the move
ment OF the northwest crops. Ball
ey refused to give details of the
plans.
The matter of securing funds to
move the crops has caused great con-
Germ to the farmers of the northwest
this year, owing to the panic in New
York, which Is compelling them to
take other than currency for their
grain, but the conference of the
bankers and New York financiers Is
said TO have definitely settled the
fact that there will be plenty of cash
for moving the crops, which are
now ready. All shipments are being
handled and banks are paying cur
rency for checks received In pay
ment for grain.

HITCHCOCK APPEARS IN
COURT AND GIVES
BOND
Actor Has Been iii and Has
Not Been Outside
New York.
HE DECLARES HIS
INNOCENCE OF CHARGE

New York, Nov. e.-4Raymo ond
Hitchcock, the actor who disappear
ed several days ago after having
been indicted on charges preferred
by several young girls, appeared In
the criminal court building today
and went to the office of the district
attorney.
Hitchcock was arraigned this af-
ternoon upon only one of the six in
dictments against him, to which he
pleaded not guilty and furnished
bail. He was paroled in the custody
of his counsel upon the other five.
His counsel said that the actor had
been out OF New York, but had been
suffering from enrvous prostration as
a result of the charges. This, he
said, was the first day he was able
to get out. Hitchcock looked pale
and haggard and showed signs OF
illness.
Hh declared that he is innocent
of the charges and said that he de-
cided the only way to prove IL was
TO stand trial.
While Hitchcock was in court his
wife in the district attorneys Office
was in a semi-hysterical condition.
There is no doubt that Hitchcock
! has been undergoing a tremendous
strain and he clearly shows the ef-
feet of his week Of hiding from the
public view, as we'll as OF illness.
| He nervously repeats that he is not
guilty and that he merely befriend-
ed the girls in the case. His wife
also repeats her belief In his inno-
cence and says there has never been
| any reason to feel that he is guilty
| Of the charges made by the girls
through the agency of the Gary So
| ciety.

New York, Nov. 6.-Yesterday's
election furnished few surprises in
the way of results. New York coun-
ty went democratic while several
other places in the state furnished
republican majorities and few dem
ocratic, about equally dividing mat
ters.

Rhode Island entered the list with
about half and half for each party
the democrats having elected a gov
ernor while the republicans carried
the legislature.

In Kings county, Brooklyn, the
democrats under the leadership OF
Patrick II. McMarren suffered re-
verse, all the republican candidates
except one being elected.
