ALFONSO POPULAR
WITH HIS PEOPLE
Richard H. Webber, Jr., Just Back
From Spain, Says Country Is
Peaceful and Prosperous.

Manufacturing plants running in
full blast, people moving to and fro
in peaceful pursuits, farmers tiliing
the soil and bringing forth abundant
crops-these were the observations OF
Richard II. Webber. Jr., of the j. l..
Hudson Co., who has just returned
from five weeks trip to Spain. He
saw no evidence of the troublous
political currents that started after
the execution OF Ferrera, the revolu-
ZIONIST. more than a year ago. Peace.
was the keynote In every section ho
visited.
Mr.. Webber's visit to the once
teresting incidents. Sailing from
Boston he stopped for several days
at the Azores and then proceeded to
Gibraltar. From the British citadel
he travelled to Tangier end Algeciras
and then arrived at Ronda, Southern
Spain. The journey through Spain
proper then began, the trip revealing
the beauty and splendor .characteris-
tic of Moorish architecture, the rich,
fertile fields and the impetus which
modern methods have given to the
Spanish commercial world.
He gazed in wonderment at the AL
hambra, the fortified palace of the
Moorish kings of years gone by,
which stands on a hill north of Gra'
NADIA. This building, Mr.. Webber
says, represents the high artistic
character OF the Moorish people, a
bewildering mass of colors and de-
signs adding to the splendor of the
entire structure. The next place Wis
tied was Cordova, and then Seville,
the capital OF the former kingdom
OF Spain.
Seville. Mr.. Webber says, is a
labyrinth OF narrow, winding streets
and lanes. The houses generally are

told her long ago to git out o. town
and let me alone. I've got my own
reasons for being through with her.
"She came over here Sunday to
say goodby to me. / didn't know
about any job she'd done. It's a big
surprise to me. don't want to say
why I'm through with Grace. There's
a lot of stuff that could be said, but
II wouldn't look well for me to say
anything. I'm waiting sentence

to say too much
"She told me she was going TO
Cleveland and take the kid along With
her" lt
The jail authorities say she was a
constant visitor at the jail, coming to
see her husband. She frequently
wrote letters to Mccarthy while she
was in the home of the Rev. William
A. Atkinson, tp whom Judge Phelan
paroled her. These letters were writ.
ten In breezy, slangy style, and
expressions common 70 crooks were
frequently employed. :.
The story OF Grace Prices fall
from grace was told exclusively in
The Times, Wednesday. Judge Phe-
Ian. who paroled the woman, was not
much surprised.
IL told her when I paroled her that
I didn't think she merited the conf

Judge. IT told her was freeing her

ton has been wired all over the coun.
try. Capt. Mcdonnell intimates that
there are other things about which
he wishes to confer with her. II is
generally understood that she Is
wanted by the Chicago police.

The Times declared that II the au-
tomobile ordinance then pending be
fore the council were adopted and en-
forced this slaughter In the streets
would cease.
The ordinance was adopted and has
been In effect for over two weeks.
Selfish motorists have rallied against
II because IL has caused them some
little Inconvenience: an alderman OPP
posed to II has openly boasted that
he would be the first to violate It,
and the police, either with or without
the sanction OF the commissioners,
have tried to kill II by over-epforce-
ment but the significant outstanding
fact remains that Il hasn't been neces-
sary to add a single death dot to the
map, nor has there been a serious
automobile accident since tae ordi-
nance went into effect.
