King Alfonso's Illness

Geneva, June S-Despite official de-
malls that his health renders it inn
possible for King Alfonso to spend
another winter in Spain, it is the
general belief in Switzerland that a
Spaniard who recently purchased
handsome villa at Lezins. a sahitar-
ium resort near the Rhone valley was
acting for His Majesty So far as
can be learned, it is not. indeed, true
that Alfonso is consumptive as orr
ginally reported, but 1t is said that
the disease from which he has long
suffered, involving the decay of bones
in his head is making such serious
progress that DR.. Moure of Bordeaux.

change in the forlorn hope that it may

News that Queen Victoria of Spain
is coming to Switzerland late in June
to have her second son, Prince Jaime.
operated on for a defect of speech
comes as the first definite confirmation
of previous reports that many of the
Spanish royal children are defective.
The truth is according to apparently
reliable information. that all of them
are so and there is good authority for
the statement that in at least one
case the weakness is mental as well
as physical.
The children's infirmity is attributed
to Alfonso's condition at the time of
his marriage. 1t is known that he. in
turn. inherited grave troubles from
his father and was only kept alive
during babyhood by the most heroic
treatment. Later, an outdoor life
and constant exercise seemed to be
working an improvement but moresre-
Gently his health has been breaking
up again. The story that he will
spend next winter in Switzerland per-
sists and is probably true.

Colonel Not
so Friendly
Republicans Not Much Impress
ed With Story That Roose-
welt Will Help Taft
STIMSON GAVE OUT STORY?
Certain, However, Roosevelt Will Not
Run-Won't Put Himself Out
For Taft.

New York June appointment Re-
publicans have been much interested
in the dispatches which stated that
Col. Theodore Roosevelt had given his
unqualified support to President Taft
for the presidential nomination of 1912
but somehow no one seems to be par
ticularly impressed. Close friends OF
the colonel say he is not so friendly
with President Taft politically as had
likely Roosevelt is ready to make the
fight for Mr.. Taft's nomina ton, since
the president and other friends Of the
administration had not treated him
particularly well.
1t is asserted here on good author
ity that the person who gave the in
formation to the press associations at
Washington was Secretary of War H.
l.. Stimson, who is a close personal
friend of both Taft and Roosevelt.
While he is friendly to both, it is said
his leanings are more toward Taft
than the colonel 1t has been we'll
known that the relations between Taft
and Roosevelt have not been on such
friendly terms as they were shortly
up to the time Taft was elected pres
ident, and the impression seems to
prevail here that the friendly manner
in which the two greeted each other
at the Cardinals jubilee in Baltimore
was taken for granted that they were
once more old friends.
One thing is certain. however, and
that is Colonel Roosevelt will not be
in the race in 1912. AS far as that
rect. but there is quite a doubt as to
whether the colonel will put himself
out to help Taft secure the nominal
ton.

President Taft will have the "unqual-

like saying that one is warmer in the

did not give his endorsement to Pres
ident Taft. upon whom could he be-
stow it? Secretary Meyer is credited
with having brought the message Of
assurances of support from Mr.. Roose-
Welt to Mr.. Taft 1t is Of a piece with
that other notable declaration that
the Dutch had taken Holland.
Mr.. Taft is surer Of denomination
in 1912 than he was of rlomina ton in
1908. Since this became true, there
has never been any question here
about Mr.. Roosevelts position.

M'FARlAND BOXES
RINGS AROUND ERAE
Chicago Boy, Outweighed
Ten Pounds, Has Big
Advantage.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 26.-PaclSey
Mcfarland Of Chicago boxed rings
around Young Erne last night in their
six round bout at the National Athletic
club. The Chicago boy outclassed his
opponent and had him missing his
punches by a wide margin.
Mcfarland had a marked advantage
in four of the six rounds, the other
two being even. Packey kept a steady
storm of lefts bombarding Erne's body
and jaw and carried his attack with
cuttin grights to the face.
Both men were strong at the end, but
Mcfarland had such big advantage
that he surely would have secured the
decision had one been rendered.
Erne went into the ring ten pounds
over the weight agreed on. 1913 ounds.
A long argument ensued before the
men began to fight. Erne maintained
that, as no forfeits were posted for
weight. he could see no ues for his
training down
