ARRESTED here The authorities viii
give no information relative to the

how many arrests have been made.
1t is believed that the authorities
have been investigating the ramif1ca-

d'Alba was arrested in Rome charged
with attempted assassination he chung
to the story that he was alone in the
matter.
There were rumors Of various sorts
One of these was that d'Alba was IN
the pay OF Turkey and had been elected
by an anarchist society to kill the king
The belief most generally accepted at
the time, however was that d'Alba had
gone insane through reading accounts
Of Italians killed in the war with Tur-
key.
That the police have DELAYED makius
arrests until the last minute so as NOT
to arouse suspicion and hinder their in

that many other arrests Will be made.
In the meantime King Victor expos, i:
