BUTCHER WEYLER TO
SUCCEED CANALEJAS

MADRID. Special. Investigation
OF the nssnssinatIOn OF Premier
CanaIejas yesterday has revealed
that King Alfonso and General
Meyler, the captain general of the
Catalonia, have both been marked
for death by the Spanish unarcnISTS.
The King has been warned TO
take the strictest precautions and
not TO appear In public unless ac-
cOmphnied by bOdyguard which
will Insure absolutely safety.

Conservative Statesmen express
fear over the political outlook.
Even today, within tWenty-fOur
hours after the murder of senior
Canafejas, unrest Is noticeable, es-
pecIally throughout Catalonia,
where radical Socialist sentiment Is
very strong.
That General WGSIer's life, should
he be elevated to the premiership,

II THE FLAT is COLD
YOU NEEDN'T PAY RENT

NEW YORK Special Justices
Seabury, Blur and Guy, sitting in the

The decision was handed down in
the case of Mary A. Oilweter against
Franklin Fischer, who leased an apart
ment for a year at 500 month.
Fischer, when he left the place on
February %, owed $29. He was sued
for that amount and for $3.50. rent due

pired. The plaintim obtained "A 1udg-
ment in the Seventh District Munich
pal Court. from which Fischer APP
pealed.
Fischer testified on the trial that
last January his apartment became
Iuntenable because the heat was In
sufficient, and that he had to move
with his wife and baby. Relying on
| n promise made by the owner he re-
turned, but February brought no i'm
lprovement, and he again got out.
1T was the duty of the landlord tC
