Spain Established
Clearing House for
Missing Soldiers
News. of War Victims of All
Belligererts Was Collect
ed and Distributed Under
Supervision of the King

I! In small room tucked away on on,
| of the topmost floors of the enormou,
royal palace at Madrid the Offices o.
the private secretary Of the King o.
Spain are located.
Here during the war was delivered
daily the largest royal postbag il
Europe. For King Alfonso voluntarily
turned his private secretariat into &
clearing house for news of the wounded
and missing of all the belligerents.
In the course of the war the number
of inquiries addressed to the Spanish
king totaled several millions and the
monarch did not hesitate to contribute
large sums of money from his privy
purse to increase the staff and Office
equipment of the private secretariat ir
order that no inquirer, however
humble, might be left without a reply
King Alfonso himself willingly de-
voted a great deal of his time to su.
pervising this work of mercy.
Salary $4,000 Year
The private secretary Of the King OF
Spain is Don Emilio Mara de Torres, q
diplomat by career, who enjoys the rank
of ambassador and has as assistants
several secretaries Of embassy. He
possesses quite unusual knowl
coupled with the we'll known damo
cratic spirit of the King, results in the
private secretary's department being
the most businesslike and most acces-
sible of all public offices. The private
secretary receives salary which does
not amount to 10000 pesetas ($4,000)
year, nor is he entitled to a car
riage-something of an exception in q
palace where so many functionaries-
physicians, ecclesiastical dignitaries
and the like-enjoy this privilege.
All petitions to the. King and re-
guests for employment pass, in the first
instance, through the ministry con-
royal palace Offices. The private sec
rotary receives the petitions for audi
ences of the King or other members
Of the royal family, and correspondence
dealing with investitures, as we'll as
the enormous daily mail which the
King receives from his subjects on an
immense variety Of matters.
Kings Press Agent
According to the Spanish constitu-
ton the King cannot be addressed per-
sonally except by what is known as
"lnstancia"..a document folded down
it's length with the writing only in the
center. The petitioner does not sign
his letter, but affixes his name at the
beginning. The letter must close with
the conventional phrase "a los Reales
Pies de vuestra Majestrad" ("To the
royal feet of your majesty">.
An important part of the private sec
retary's Office is the preparation OF
press cuttings for the Kings perusal
as we'll as the reading of books which
make reference to the King. One
branch of the work which is partic-
ularly heavy is the demand for the
Kings photograph. King Alfonso has
invariably several hundred photos
waiting at a time to be signed.
1t is a rule at the private secretary's
Office that every letter should be an.
swered. The thought uppermost in
Senior de Torres's mind seems to be
to elude as far as possible the encum-
bering meshes of red tape omnipresent
in Spanish Official life.-London Daily

termed "organzed assassination" in
Ireland. The meeting was called under

mittee for Irish Freedom, about 800
delegates attending.

Walsh, James Larkin, Irish labor
leader. and Thomas OFlaherty, labor
organizer of Boston, all of whom &C.
cused the British government of
organizing "pogroms" in Ireland in an
effort to terrorize the Irish people. A
resolution introduced by Patrick Ennis,
of the Marine Firemen's Union, con-
demning the alleged "organized as
sassinations" and calling upon labor
bodies in England to stop work and
compel the withdrawal of British
troops from Ireland, was adopted.

Says Goose Is 90 Years Old
Ohio Farmer Asserts Aged
Fowl Still Laws Errs

Spectdt Dispatch TO The Tribune
PORTSMOUTH. Ohio, March 2S.-
From the publicity agent of goose
that lived at the home of Adolph Brun-
ner, merchant, comes the assertion
that the fowl is ninety-two years old,
despite which important fact it con-
tinues to lay eggs. There, to be sure,
is no birth certificate for the bird to
produce as evidence.
Years ago Drummer bought the bird
and extraordinary age was attached
to the fowl by the seller. That it is old
there is no question, but that it is on
the road to the century mark is open
to dispute.
This spring Drummer observed gan
der and younger goose shielding their
old companion while it scattered straw
and made a nest Drummer is now
watching to see whether his old goose
will hatch out the eggs which were
laid under community auspices, as it
were.

get the boy away from a crowd with

he would rather kill the boy than have
him criminal. Before his death Frank
requested that his father be not pun
ished. Piano was rearrested following
his sons death and the assault charge
changed to one of murder.

SOUTHAMPTON, March 2s.-All the

damaging the vessel so badly that her
sailing date had to be abandoned, were

definite results were obtained in ascer-

pected the vessel will be able to sail
this week for New York.
