ATHENS WELCOME
TO KING GEORGE
Robert Kitchens Picture of the Late
Kings Reception on the Eve
of War.

In The Century's series on "Skirting
the Balkan Peninsula" by Robert
Kitchens and Jules Guerin, Robert
Hichens writes in the April Century
of being in Athens Just in time to see
the late King Georges arrival there
on the eve of the war:
The Hellenes was not an enthusi.
astic people, as rule They are
critical, intellectual, sometimes rather
cynical. But that night they gave
way to emotion. Great crowds We're
lined up in Constitution square, and
We're massed on the brow of the hill
before the palace, when at length tho
police let me go Darkness had long
since fallen, but the square was Hum
mated brightly. All the balconies
We're packed with people. The terrace
before the Grande Bretagne was black
with sightscers. And everywhere In
the forefront were rows of eager, Vi
yacious Greek children, many of them
the soldiers of the future,
we had to wait for a very long
time. But at last the king came in an
open carriage. driving with the Dia-
dochos, as the crown prince is al
ways called in Greece. Both We're in
uniform There was no ceremonial es-
cort, so the people formed an uncere-
monial one. They ran with the car
rage, shouting, waving their hats and
handkerchiefs, cheering till they were
hoarse, and crying, War! War The
great square rang with the clapping
of thousands of hands. Never before,
said a Greek to me, has the king had
such a reception When the carriages
containing the rest OF the royal fam
ran in our thousands to the palace.
Above the great entrance porch there
is a balcony. and after short time
slim King George stepped out, rather
cautiously, | thought, upon it, follow

ut was very dark, but a footman ae-
companied his majesty, holding an
electric light, and we had our speacb.
The king read the first part OF it
in loud, Unconditional voice, bending
sometimes to the light. But at the
close he spoke a few words extempore.

war should come, TO the mercy of

Sensational Developments.

CHICAGO, April Sensational
developments came in the Dietz muir
uer mystery this afternoon, following
the announcement by the police they
mad discarded the theory that there
was any connection between the death
OF Edna May Frederickson, a sixteen
year old girl, following criminal
operation. and the Staying of Dietz,
who was found dead in bed with his
skull crushed Monday morning.
coroner Hoffman admitted that the
man arrested last night and held on
suspicion in connection with the muir
der was George Nurnberg, 1s41 West
Lake street, dealer in harness.
I'VE are investigating the story that
Nurnberg was visitor to the Dietz
apartment and paid marked attention
to Mrs. Dietz,' said the coroner.
At the same time Coroner Hoffman
declared that a careful investigation
had failed to reveal any proof that
the murderer of Dietz forced his way
into the apartment before Staying the
tailor with heavy blacksmith's ham
mer. The rear and front doors of the
D1etz apartment were unlocked and
a window in the kitchen, connecting
with the murdered mans bedroom,
was open when the police arrived
Monday morning.
Another arrest in the Dietz case
may be made before the day is over,
the coroner announced. He added that
the .other person who may be ar
rested was placed under surveillance
today
That the police and the coroner's
Office are not working in absolute
harmony was learned after Coroner
Hoffman had admitted that the man
larrested last night was Numbers.
Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler,
who is heading the police investiga-
ton, confirmed the coroner's state
ment, but said that he withheld Nurn-
berg's name from the public because
he believed there was no foundation
for the theory.
sNurnberg is an old man. grand
father" said Scnuettler. He was a
friend of Dietz and Mrs. Dietz. He
visited the Dietz home as other friends
did. I did not believe that he should
be dragged into the case unless the
police had something tangible to es-
tablish connection
George Ringler, Jr., fiance of the
dead Frederickson girl, who was ar
rested on his arrival in Chicago from
milwaukee today, will be released,
the police announced. After putting
! Lillian Dixon, an associate of the
dead girl, through a close examina-
ton the police declared they were
satisfied that Dietz sever knew the
girl They are inclined to believe
the theory of Mrs. Dietz that news
paper clipping containing an account
of the Frederickson girls death was
stuffed in Dietzs pocket after his
death for the purpose of misleading
THE police Under the assumption that
the police are now working on, the
rough letter found near Dietz's body
was a similar effort to mislead.
