''Do you realize that Eliene is max

she had given you tons and tons of
ice for this summer? You, my dear
Kitty, with your dynamic personality

''The Children were all healthy and
self-respecting but as they grew up,

SPANISH KING ON
MEXICAN OUTRAGES
BY AssoCIATED PRESS,

Madrid, April 2-In his speech from
the throne at the opening of the Span
ish parliament today. King Alfonso
alluded to the outrages of which
Spaniards and citizens of other coun-
tries had been victims in Mexico. The
Spanish government, his majesty said,
had sought and was continuing to seek
a method by which Spaniards and
their property in Mexico could be pro-
tected. The presence Of Spanish war
ships at Vera Cruz had, he continued,
demonstrated the solicitude of the
Spanish government for the lives and
interests of Spanish subjects He
concluded that all possible help, NOR
al and otherwise would be afforded
by Spain for the safeguarding of the
interests of her subjects and their
property.

st. Johns, n. F.. April 2.-The
Steamer Newfoundland came into port
sealing steamer Southern Cross and
her crew of 170 men.
The exact loss of life is not known.
but it is believed that practically the
whole crew perished after the South
ern Cross had been crushed and sunk
IN the ice off Cape Race.
The Newfoundland picked up fifty

tossing ice foes to which they es-
capped when their craft went down.
Those who survived were able in
their weakened condition to tell but
little of the wreck and the probable
fate of their fellows. Ships were at
once despatched in the hope of finding
other survivors or recovering more
bodies.
The suffering of those found by the
Newfoundland beggars description.
For forty eight hours they were adrift
on ice foes while a furious blizzard
swept over them.
The Southern Cross had completed
an unusually large catch in the gulf
of st. Lawrence. Her holds were filled
with sealskins and her decks were
piled high with trophies of the cruise.

fered by the owners. This unusual
load added TO her difficulty when she
encountered the storm and ice.
The Southern Cross was reported off
the Southern coast on Sunday and
ought to have reached here last Tues
day. AS near as can be learned she
was rounding Cape Race when she
ran into an immense field of drift
ice from the Labrador coast and about
the same time the blizzard enveloped
the ship, cutting off observation.
Not long after the sealer was caught
between two ice foes, which crushed
her plates like cardboards. The crew
had just time to tumble over the side
onto the slippery ice cakes when the
steamer disappeared.

only to prolong the controversy. SEN
ator Norris was prepared today to de-
mand immediate consideration Of his
resolution providing for arbitration of
the treaty disputes involved In the

was ready to take advantage OF the
first opportunity to bring up his mea-
sure calling for a postponement Of
of the tolls question un-
til President Wilson submits the de-
tails of the foreign relations existing
between the United States and other
countries affected by the repeal.
Senator Jones furnished another
possibility for action today. He de-
ciared his intention to press his reso-
luton providing that the president
furnish the senate with the names of
all the nations which have protested
against the tolls exemption clause and
was resolved to force it into early ac-
ton.

leaders of the two factions show that
