Official Denial.

Madrid, Jan. T. An official an
nouncement was issued today to the
story that an attempt on the life OF
King Alfonso was made yesterday in
Malaga where the king and his suite
stopped briefly, on route to Melilla.
The denial is based upon statements
from the king himself, Premier Canal
ejas and others in the party. The story
OF the bomb attempt arose. it is said,
from the fact that an irresponsible per-
son in the outskirts of the lcrowd that
greeted Alfonso at the station, fired a
pistol. His act was due to exuberance
and not to any desire to do harm.
King Alfonso reached Melilla today
aboard the royal yacht Ciraldn,

The Schenck Case.

Wheeling, W. Va, Jan. An
doubt as to the attitude OF John 0.
Schenck, the millionaire packer, will
take at the trial Monday OF his wife,
charged with poisoning him, was re.
moved today when Schenck gave the
United Press his first interview since
the arrest of his wife.
Schenck, too nervous to see the
United Press correspondent personally,
talked through his sister, Mrs. Mary
Doepkin, at whose home he is staying.
Il must have been blind not to have
seen what Laura was trying to do" he
said.
Any reports that the prosecution viii
not have Scheuck's full approval are
without foundation. He is convinced
OF his wife's guilt. He will not 60 or

the alleged administration Of arsenic

ply through her attorney. J. J. P

Carnegie Trust Company Fails.

New York, Jan. The Carnegie
Trust Company, big financial insti,
tuition in New York, was closed today
by State Superintendent OF Banks
Cheney.
The company was chartered in 1907
and had a paid,up capital of 81, 800
900; surplus and undivided profits OF
$737 900 and gross deposits Of about
SIS, 900,0 900. ]. T. Howell, formerly
president OF the Fourth National Bank,
Nashville, Tenn, was president. ]. B.
Reischmann recently retired.
Officials Of the closed institution
stated that there had been quiet run
on it for more than week and that
this had used up all of the available
ready resources,!so the state banking
department was called on to interfere
to protect the rank and file OF tho de-
positors.
0. H. Cheney, head OF the banking
department, issued the following state.
ment:
Superintendent Of banks has taken
charge OF the property and business OF
the Carnegie Trust Company. The
examination of the affairs OF this
company has caused the superinten-
dent to conclude that it is in an I'M
sound condition to transact business
and that it is not sale for it to con
tinue.
The examination is not yet COM
pete and no further statement can be
made at this time"
More than $11 900, 900 is involved in
the closing OF the trust company, the
last report OF the institution to the state
banking department, on November TO-
1910, showing total assets Of 1,170,,
600. The Carnegie Trust Company
was depository OF the New York Cot.
ton Exchange, but it is said it had not
received large percentage of the bust
ness OF the exchange lately,
John C. Robin. the Indicted wreckcr
of the Northern Bank OF New York
was indirectly responsible for the clos.
ing of the Carnegie trust. He was ono
of the original directors Of the Carnegie,
but was forced ont two years ago. The
fact that Robin had been connected
with the institution, however, started
the run that caused the suspension.
Big southern brokers and tinanciers oi
Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi and the
Carolinas are hard hit by the suspen-
sion.
Despite its name, Andrew Carnegie,
the steel millionaire, was never in any
way connected with the Carnegie Trust
Company.

OF New York City, in statement issued
this afternoon, accuses City Chamber.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, JAN.

A PHYSICIANS statement to HIM
that in one week three wives had died
in Cleveland. Ohio, because OF their
refusal to assume the duties OF mother
hood. caused Rev. II. J. MacAipine,
pastor of the Boulevard Presbyterian
Church, Cleveland, 10 frankly discuss
race suicide "Wednesday night IN his
talk on THE. Model Wife" dc de-
clared that race suicide was becoming
appalling. Mr.. MacAlpine startled his
congregation by the assertion that the
average wife wastes enough to keep .
small family, and the lack OF economy
in the management OF the majority oil
homes was driving men to rum ana 10
drink. There arc two. many wives,
he said "who indulge in altogether too
much scolding and finding fault with
their husbands, and the result IS that
many divorces follow and homes arc
broken up. A great responsibility rests
nuon the housewife today. Her bus
band is up against the bread and butter
problem; Of course, the wife IS under
\ big nervous strain, too, and her duty
is to Join her intuition TO his reason,
and together they should fight out
the battle of life. If the husband can
not .ciothc the wife with silks and luTS
then let her be content with what he
can afford. F."

NO AMERICApHOBlA IN JAPAN.


Japanese newspapers received at
Victoria, B. c., yesterday devote much
space to comments on the dispatches
regarding the inadequacy of the Pacific,
coast defenses OF the United States.
The Japanese editors protest against
the inference that Japan is unfriendly
to the United States. Collecting a
number OF comments, the Eibun Tsush-
in, Toxic news agency, says:
IT is strange, but true, that the
fever OF Americaphobia, supposed to
be rife in Japan, is not known in
Japan. 1t must be stated candidly
that japan is not in position to fight
against foreign country, DO it
America. England or Germany.
While VIC admit that Japan and Amer
lea have great interest in China, these
interests are of commercial char
actcr, and will not affect in the least
degree the political and commercial
positions commanded by both these
countries. What reasons could there
be in advocating in any way war be-
tween Japan and America? Foreigners
may be assured that Japan neither is
at present, nor will be in the future, in
fighting mood, because all the Japa-
nese, in spite of the increasing popu-
lation and other considerations, find
the fact to be that it does not pay to
fight with country which is superior
in every respect to her.
Should m emergency arise in the
PHILIPPINES the United States would
have to depend upon native troops for
the defense Of the islands, and the
Filipino would be found loyal soldier,
according to the annual report OF
BIigadlcr General John j. Pershing,
commander OF the Department of
! Mindanao.
