He Is Trying to Curb the Power Of
the Church and May Stir up
A Bad Civil
War.
PAPERS AGAINST HIS PROBLEMS IN WAY BORN
Demand Removal Of His Cabinet and
Queen Mother is Also
Trying to Influence
Him.

MADRID, Aug. clerical news
papers today joined in demand that
King Alfonso dismiss Premier Can
alejas and his cabinet, declaring that
civil war is inevitable unless he does.
The attitude of the press is the
most threatening yet assumed. 1t lays
the blame for trouble between the
government and the vatican on the
premier and upbraids the king for
falling under his minister's baneful
influence. Despite the fact that thous-
ands of Catholics are ready to 'forci-
bly, resist the governments proposals
to curtail the church's power both
Alfonso and his ministers believe
that the only thing needed to bring
the issue to- successful conclusion,
is fir1nness on their part
There is no question that the vast
majority of the people are with us, :
Canalejas said today, Spain is pro-
gressive and the government must
| be supreme There is no fear of a civ
| il war; The situation is believed to
be more serious than pictured by the
premier. The pretender's agents are
| openly at work in some places and
/ should the situation between state
and church become more acute, a
revolution may be precipitated.
The queen mother is trying he,
tbest to influence King Alfonso, but
without apparent result.

death. He was conscious, except at
the moments when his heart action
was weakest, during the entire time

PRIMARY LAW
STANDS AS JOKE
ottumwa Publisher Says the Whole
Party Will go Broke Over the
Hardshps.

DES MONIES, Aug. AT the re-
cent meeting of the. Southern Iowa
Editorial Association here the press
was heard from in no uncertain terms
regarding the present Primary law
James F. Powell, editor of the Ottum-
wa G2mrier, in paper said
The primary lay stands as a joke
When the supreme court allowed such
law to become effective 1t passed up
an important duty. 1t imposes hard
ships on all candidates, irrespective
Of party, and it should be annulled or
modified
Under this law the man with the
most money Is the man elected. That
IS, the man whose money holds out
the longest. With a few more primar.
les and campaigns the Republican
party will all be broke and the Dem
ocrats will go into power Then the
Democrats will have the experience
with the law that the Republicans are
now having, and they will all go broke
and the Republicans will get into
power"

prevailing throughout that section of
the country" said the sheriff. Men
were going about killing negroes, and
SO far as have been able to ascertain,

nation given to States Attorney Ed

witnesses have been subpoenaed to
appear before the grand jury in con-
nection with the probe.
A republican state senator residing
in Chicago, according to Mr.. Burke,
volunteered the information to him
that money was used to kill the slot
machine measure.
In addition to the slot machine bill
the other measures involved in the
new inquiry are the loan shark bill
and the measures allowing children
under IA years of age to be employed
by theatrical companies and in places
especially designated
Mr.. Burke believes that when he
has examined all the witnesses under
subpoenas he will have uncovered one
of the largest jack pots in the legis-
lature.
Mr.. Burke denied that any confes-
that he believes the information given
to him by the Chicago senator is re-
liliable enough to implicate number
OF Cook county legislators and firms
in Chicago who put up the money.
Those for whom subpoenas were is
sued follow:
Charles Lederer, republican, Chi
cago; representative from the third
district.
Sidney Adler, law partner of Rep
resentative Lederer.
Herbert S. Mills, president Of Mills
Novelty company, Chicago
Henry P. Heiser, law partner of

Louis ]. Hopkins, president OF Louis
/ F. Hopkins & Co.. loan brokers.
Walter A.. Lantz, democrat, La
Grange member of state legislature.
According to Mr.. Burke, the bill
prohibiting the making of slot ma
4 chimes was introduced in the lower
house of the legislature and a certain
member who opposed the passage O
the bill has information that large
sum was collected from firm making
slot machines and thrown into jaci
! pot for certain members in the gen
eral assembly.
The slot machine investigation, to
/ gether with the other two measures
Mr.. Burke believes, will produce re
suits far surprising those obtained
from the investigation of the eurni
ture contracts. The grand jury viii
convene this morning, but Prosecute
Burkes will devote most of his tim'
to shaping the evidence for the legi'
lative corruption investigation whicl
will open the following day
