DIR. Vidal Says Greek Plotters
Poisoned Monkey to Kill King

1t was only after the first symptoms of
rabies began to be apparent that the
physicians attending him began to sus-
pect the real cause. Then it was that
the plot against the Kings life was
revealed
When the symptoms of hydrophobia
began to be more pronounced, then only
were energetic antirabies antidotes
applied The treatment came almost
too late. The Kings life was de-
SPARED Of. But, as the worst of the
crisis in his condition seems to have
passed two days ago, DR.. Vidal said
some hope was being entertained that
his life would be saved
PARIS, Oct. 22.-An Athens message
received at the Greek Legation at 10
o'clock tonight reported little change
in the condition OF King Alexander.
1t said hope was still entertained for
his recovery.
ROME, Oct. 22.-Professor Delbet,
an eminent French surgeon, passed
through Italy to-day on his way to
Athens, where he hopes to arrive in
time to operate on King Alexander in
an endeavor to save the monarch's life.
The surgeon travelled from the French
frontier to Rome on special train,
the railway line being cleared for it's
progress. Dispatches from Greece
were delivered to Dr. Delbet here by
the Hellenic Legation. He then left
by another special train for laramie,
where \ Greek torpedo boat destroye
was awaiting to carry him at full
speed to Athens.

MILAN, Italy, Oct. 22.-Dr. Georges
Fernand Vidal, the French specialist,
who passed through Rome to-day on
the way home from Athens, where he
was called in consultation in the illness
of King Alexander Of Greece, told ltal-
ian journalists that the Greek King
had been the victim of plot to assas-
sinate him.
Asserting that his investigations
while it Athens had proved to his salts
faction that the real truth of the
poisoning Of the King had not been
told, Dr. Vidal said that political en-
emies of the monarch, knowing that
Tatos, the monkey whose bite poisoned
the king, was AleXander's favorlte pet,
had inoculated the animal with the
germs of hydrophobia, in the dlabolical
hope that it would go mad while the
king was playing with 1t and bite him
as it actually did.
Monkey Had Grown Tame
The monkey had grown SO tame and
domesticated that it had been allowed
to wander at will about the park at
the palace. Gradually the animal
showed signs of i'll humor and several
weeks ago it bit the Kings foot vi
ciously after trying to bite the mon
arch's favorite dog.
Alexander at first had no idea Of the
seriousness of the bite, DR.. Vidal said.

show that Chase was in on the worlds
series fixing. He said that he had
real evidence, but would not go into
detail, further than to say that he
knew that Chase telephoned Sullivan
from Jean Dubuc's hotel room in New
York. "Rube" Benton also charged
that Chase had offered him money to
throw game.
Abe Attell, who is in Montreal,
where he says he will stay until the

He Married Helen Yorke
After a Short Courtship

Misha Appelbaum, founder of the
Humanitarian Cult, and his wife, Helen
Yorke Appelbaum, a singer, whom he
married April T, after courtship of
two weeks, are in a precarious condi-
ton at the Knickerbocker Hospital as
a result of poisoning by bichloride Of
mercury.
Appelbaum told the police that he
and his wife had taken the poison by
mistake.
The Appellants live on the third
floor Of the apartment house at 131
West Seventy-fourth Street At s
o'clock yesterday afternoon the negro
elevator boy received g telephone
message from Appelbaum, who said:
"Taken poison by mistake. Send for
doctor"
Policeman Brings Remedies
The negro notified Patroman Harry
Singer, of the West Sixty eighth
Street station. Singer called an ambu-
lance from the Knickerbocker Hospi-
tai, then obtained bottle of milk and
some eggs, and hurried to the Appel
baum apartment.
He says that Appelbaum and his
wife were fully dressed. The woman
was lying on bed. Appelbaum was
doctors had reached the scene and had
given Appelbaum an emetic. The eggs
and milk were. used, but the couple
still appeared to be violently i'll.
Appelbaum, according to Singer, said
he and his wife each had swallowed four
712 grains of mercury tablets. The
bottle was found on the mantaipiece.
The poison victims later were re-
moved to the hospital, where Appel
baum, although weak and sick, insisted
that they be assigned to a private
room together.
DR.. Robert Leddy, a visiting physi-
clan on the Knickerbocker staff, had
accompanied the ambulance to the APP
pelbaum apartment. Appelbaum told
him that the poison was taken acci-
dentally, but according to the police
the high priest" of the Humanitarian
Cult offered no explanation Of the mis-
take.
Couples Fate in Balance
DR.. Leddy said that each of the Ap-
pelbaums had taken heavy overdose
of the poison and this would act in
their favor, he believed. Whether the
couple will recover depends upon de-
velopments of the next two or three
days, it was said at the hospital.
At no time, according to the police
did Mrs. Appelbaum offer a statement
Appelbaum is forty years old and is
a native of Russia, as is his wife, who
