Watson took the lead on the first hole

but at allpoints was a shade or two be-

King Alfonso Is a Marked
Man Says the Banished
Leader of the Spanish
Anarchists.
SEVEN DEAD AND 80
INJURED IN SPAIN
Fifteen Hundred Are In
Prison-Many in Paris
Hospital.

London. oct. 1S.--The troubles OF
Spain are far from being over ac-
cording to those who have watched
conditions for the past week.
Spain made bad tactical blunder
in shooting Ferrer. It is not true
that his trial was private. There
were present 200 reporters and $50
spectators, but the proceedings fell
far short OF Anglo-saxon ideas OF
judicial procedure. No witnesses
were called, but the prosecution
made free use of what may be de-
scribed asafildavits. these applying
not only TO the specific charge OF in-
citing the Barcelona riots but cover
ed events In Ferrers life extending
back for several years. The judge
really took up tn problem OF decld-
ing whether Ferrer was good or
bad man Having decided that he
was bad. they condemned him to
death. This traversity OF justice In
the present crisis OF Spain's political
fate was worse than folly, and IT. will
bring far-reaching consequences.
Even The Pope forosaw the danger
involved to the church and endeavor-
| ed to- intervene, but unsuccessfully.
The position OF the church has
been rapidly growing precarious for
several years past and responsibility
for the pre- 'cnt blunder will be laid
solely on the clerical party. The
first blows i'm revenge will fall un-
happily upon The young King.
If the ingenuity OF the combined
anarchist clique Of Europe can COM
pass his destruction his life today is
In greater danger than that OF the
Czar The leaders OF the domestic
d foreign anarchists declare open
~ their determination TO kill him at
the earliest possible moment.
Valuan, the leader OF the Spanish
anarchists, who was banished six
years ago, said today:
"Fcrrcr's death will be avenged on
Alfonso personally We hold h,m
rcsponsible, although he is only tho
tool of ,hc Spanish priesthood Fer
rcr was an educatiouallst He found
cd nine schools FOR scientific cduca-
tiou iu Catalonia This iacitad the
cnmily Of the priesthood. and Al
