SERIOUS CONDITIONS
IN SPAIN.
Hasty Call of Meeting of Cabinet
IgIesias Wants to be Arrested

Madrid, July 16.-All the members
OF the Spanish cabinet have been
hastily summoned to attend an inn
portant conference in the palace with
King Alfonso tomorrow TO discuss
the admitted danger OF 4 revolutionary
uprising Of a serious character in
Barcelona, the hotbed Of revolution
and the scene OF last years pitched
battles, and which is considered the
danger zone OF the revolt, although a
general strike has been ordered in
Giion. accompanied by disorders.
Labor agitators and revolutionary
leaders are busiest in Bilboa and other
Spanish cities are seethlng with DIS
content. A declaration Of martial law
is expected at the first signs of disor-
Ter. II is conceded on all hands that
the situation is even more critical than
during the revolution which took
place when the Spanish reserves we're
summoned to the cOlOrs for duty
against the Moors around Melllia III
Africa
Madrid, July 16.-Pablo Iglesias,
cpublican leader in the Spanish
Chamber of Deputies, is trying get
arrest d and cannot succeed. His failure
is interfering with the republican
plans for forcing an investigation OF
King Alfonso's and former Premier
Maura u responsibility for last summer 5
bloody disorders at Barcelona and
elsewhere in Spain. On the other hand,
it is doubtful whether the government s
prestige could suffer more seriously
han il is from its failure to imprlson
Iglesias.
After accusing Maura and failing to
get arrested Iglesias threatened the
former premier. Even an attach on
Maura's person." he declared on the
floor OF the chamber, after a severe
arraignment of the former premier,
would be justified, if it were necessary
TO prevent his return to office.
"Your words are criminal, " shouted
the president of the chamber, and
you must withdraw them instantly"
| will not, SAID Igleslas.
Then you will be severely pun
ished," broke in Prgnier CanaIeJas.
Your remarks constitute encourage
ment of murder"
81 will answer for them in court, "
answered Iglesias defiantly.
The president OF the chamber, and
Premier Canaleias and ex-Premler
Maura held a hurried conference, at
the end Of which the president weakly
announced that Senior lglesias's words
had been expunged from the record
and that he might proceed with his
speech.
Iglesias and his followers now an
nounce, both inside and outside the
chamber, that the governments sur
render was due solely to the fact that
they did not face the investigation that
they knew must follow an attempt to
prosecute the republican leader This
assertion is accepted as true in all parts
of Spain.

APPEAL TO
MISS LEN EVE
The Whereabouts Of Doctor Crippen still
Unknown TO the London Police.

London, July l6.-An unique expe-
dent in the hope OF capturing DIR. III. II.
Crippen, wanted for the murder of his
wife, was adopted by Scotland Yard
today.
The newspapers have issued an APP
peal. in the name OF Scotland Yard, to
Miss Leneve. Crippen's typist, with
whom he is believed to have eloped,
urging her to come out Of hiding and
to reveal Crippen' whereabouts. They
hope this communication will be seen
by the young woman and that she will
betray this physician. In this appeal
it is pointed that Miss Leneye has
everything to gain and nothing to lose
by adopting such course and being
perfectly frank with the police officials.
The press is taunting the police over
their bungling OF the case and point to
this unusual appeal to Miss Leneye to
show the hopelessness Of the police.
The police have retaliated by issuing
a statement that they had no legal
justification for arresting DR.. Crippen
before the discovery OF the body proved
that a crime had been committed.
They added that even to have shadow
ed the doctor when he was under sus-
picion and thus have prevented him
from escaping from London, would
have been to exceed their authority and
to have laid them open TO damages.
When DIR. Crippen disappeared he
had only $3.50 in money, but carried
jeweIry, belonging to his wife, valued
at 1875, 900. The detectives have an
accurate list Of this jewelry, which they
have cabled to all parts of the world.
They believe Crippen's funds will
shortly be exhausted and he will be
forced to dispose Of some of the jewels.
That Miss Leneve must have been
acquainted with the crime is attested
today by q dressmaker, who declares
that shortly after February 2, the day
OF the murder, Miss Leneve appeared
with hamper Of clothing, since
identified as having belonged to Mrs.
Crippen. She told the dressmaker she
intended marrying DR.. Crippen; that
the gowns had been left her by one OF
DR.. Crippen's aunts and she wished to
have them altered. Miss Leneve called
for the dresses Friday, the day before
she and DIR. Crippen disappeared.

THE discovery of the remains in a
cellar in London Of woman believed to
have been the wife Of DR.. Crippen makes
the second murder laid recently to the
charge of natives Of the United States
while sojourning in foreign countries.
While many people were still talking
OF the horrible crime of Charlton, who
assaulted his wife and before the woman
was dead placed her in a trunk and
sunk her in Lake Como, the London
police were unearthing the remains
OF the wife of a former Philadelphia
doctor. The woman after having been
murdered was cut up, her larger bones,
removed and what remained placed IN
quicklime and buried six feet deep III
e cellar. The alleged murderer and his
typewriter subsequently disappeared.
The number of horrible crimes seems
to be steadily increasing.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, JULY lG.

THE Municipal Council OF Paris has
taken drastic action against the hand
bill nuisance, which is largely respon-
sible for the untidy condition Of the
streets. 1T has passed law putting %
substantial tax on every dodger given
out in the public thoroughfares. 1t Is
believed that the new regulation VIII
prove to be prohibitory, rs the tax Is
so high that advertisers will not care
to pay it. Visitors, ~ writes a CORE
spondent, look with disgust at the
pavements Uttered with countless thous-
ands OF handbills. mostly torn, ragged
filthy; on windy day they see them
whirled about their heads, drifted and
tossed till the air seems full OF lying
paper, and they go away with The I'M
preston that the streets of Paris are the
worst kept they have ever seen. 1t Is
true that the road for the horses is bet
ter kept than the road for the human
beings, but this is not the fault of those
responsible for the keeping Of the
streets, for an army of men is abroad
every morning at dawn, sweeping and
watering; it is the fault Of the law,
which allows full liberty in the giving
out OF street advertisements. " The
new law is expected to change all this
speedily. What is true in Paris is true
of Alexandria. The Civic Improve
ment League could profitably give the
matter attention.

WALL STREET wound up the first hal
OF the calendar year with the unpleas-
ant knowledge that the prices of stock.
had declined in an accelerated ratio in
that period. Some of the wiscacrcs
attribute this condition to the growth
of radical political sentiment in both OF
the old parties, but others say the cause
is solely due to the increased cost of the
necessaries of life, which had under
mined gradually the investing power
and confidence Of the general public.
