KING LEOPOLD IS DEAD;
ALBERT THE NEW RULER
Death from Ensbolism Comes Sud-
denly to Aged Patient in His
Royal Abode.
LONG LIFE OF BELGIUM's KING
Monarch Often Denounced for Atroc-
tiles in Congo and Shocking CAL
1antries with Women.

King Leopold of Belgium died at
2:47 o'clock Friday morning. his aged
and wasted body being unable to stand
the strain put upon it. The collapse
occurred suddenly and at moment
when the doctors seemingly had the
greatest hopes for his recovery. The
kings death. it was announced by DR..
De Page, was due to embolism, a
small blood clot probably being carried
to the heart
There being no direct hereditary
nelr, the crown passes to Prince Al
bert, the only son of Leopold's broth
er, the late Philippe, count of Flan-
ders. The new monarch was born on
April 8, 1875, and on Oct. 2, 1900, mar
ried Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria.
They have three children, Prince Leo
pold, 8 years old; Prince Charles,
years old; and Princess Marie Jose,
who was born on Aug. 4, 1906. Prince
Albert is one of the most popular mem
bers of the reigning house of Belgium.
His wife is equally popular, their home
iiIe being such as to attract the adj
miration and love of the people Prince
Albert has travelled extensively and
is man of affairs.
King Leopold was the ruler of Bel
GUM since the death of his father,
who was King Leopold l., on Dec. 10,
1865. In spite of the open and glar-
ing irregularities of his private life,
the king of the Belgians was sue
cessful administrator of his little
realm. He set up the policy Of Eng
land as the model for Belgium; and
from the moment he became ruler he
never ceased to urge the doctrine of
colonization and extension of trade,
through a merchant marine and
through sending samples of Belgium
