SAYS NEW YORK GREEK
Acquaintance Declares Kings

assassin of King George. Batznoulis saws
Schinas was an anarchist but never on

"AIeco Schinas comes from the village
Of Kanalia." the statement reads. He
has a brother I'm NolO. named Hercules
Schinas. who has a chemists shop there.
There the assassin worked as an assist
ant. As It often happens with brothers,
they had a quarrel, and Alcco came To
America Here he could not stand the
heavy work and returned to Greece. The
statement that he was the founder Of a
school OF anarchsm or was a candidate
for the Boule is entirely untrue, because
he was entirely reticent. and all he did
was 10 70 from the chemists shop 10 q
coffee house and back.

LIBEL VERDICT DISCUSSED
Lloyd George Rufus Isaacs
Case in House of Commons.

London. March 2l.-The disclosures of
American Marconi speculations were
the sensation of all England yester-
day. The fact that these ministers did
not reveal to the House of Commons in
october last their participation in the
American company share transactions
came as great surprise To everybody.
Mr.. Lloyd George went To the House
of Commons on October II. and with
much righteous indignation - a voice
QuiVering with emotion said: The rca-
son why the government wanted frank
discussion before going into committee
was because We wanted TO bring here
these rumors, these sinister rumOrs.
that have been passed from one foul lip
to another behind the backs of the
House"
What the public now wants to know
is why did not Mr.. Lloyd George say
frankly that he and other ministers
had been putting their money into the
American Marconi Company but that
this company had no interest in the
English company which made the con-
tract with the Postmaster General. al
though the English company had a
large share in the American.
In the House of Commons yesterday
the Prime Minister gave an excellent
imitation Of man in surprise when
Mr.. Bonar Law asked him if he had
ANYTHING to say about the proceedings
in the libel case against lie Matin.'
Mr.. Asquith did not see what there was
to say. and so Mr.. Bonar Law promised
10 bring the matter TO his attention
again on Tuesday next. when IT IS 10
he presumed that the Prime Minister :
knowledge of the affair will be suf-
ficient TO enable him TO say either that
he approves of the course taken 10y his
subordinates In the Cabinet or that he
is opposed 10 II. Mr.. Asquith's answer
is awaited with the deepest interest, not
ONLY by the House of Commons but by
the country as a whole.
