His wife, the Infanta Eulalia, who has
been separated from him for twelve years,
has complained bitterly of his conduct.
my husband lives to-day with another
woman" she said recently to corre-
spondent "in a house in Paris within u
few yards of where / am living. We can
not be divorced, because there is no di-
vorce In Spain" AZ
The Infanta is a woman of more ad-
vanced ideas than are customary in royal
families She published peculiar book
entitled "The Thread of Life" in which she
asserted the right of every woman to OBJ
tain a divorce when she could not agree
with her husband, King Alfonso, as an Of
fetal representative of established religion,
would not permit such view to be adj
vanced by member OF his family draw
ing her income from the royal revenues.
The King ordered his aunt to retract her
views and cease to publish books on pain
OF being cut off from the royal family She
refused at first and her income was in fact
stopped. After six months she came to an
agreement with the King and agreed to
withdraw her book from circulation. Her
income, OF which she was greatly in need,
was then resumed. -~E

visit to Paris where he found no difficulty
in amusing himself without her.
In connection with the startling charges
of Prince Antoine against King Alfonso
must be taken in consideration the pecu-
liar record OF the Prince. For about twen-
ty years he has been noted in Paris and
other places for his extravagances and
designations.
Indeed It is reported that instead Of
having escaped from King Alfonso, as he
asserts. he has really been kidnapped by
coterie OF adventurers Of both sexes,
who hold him in their power and are liv-
ing on his immense fortune. This, In fact,
Is the excuse of King Alfonso's officers for

from Withdrawing money from banks
and my convictions were confirmed that
Spanish officials were playing a comedy.
The real object was that the court wanted
to take possession of my fortune in order
to pay heavy debts.
They forced me to sign power of at
torney, but / escaped from Spain in time
and checked their manoeuvres. My inter.
diction was granted at the request of my
children, instigated by my daughterin-law,
Princess Beatrice. You certainly know
what her conduct has been in the Spanish
court. The scandal reached such point
that when the Queen of Spain returned to
Madrid Princess Beatrice was invited to go
abroad. In matters of that sort Journeys
abroad are still in vogue in the Spanish
court.
Senator Ortega succeeded in having a
court administrator named in France for
my property. from which he received large
sums which we're never accounted for He
then came to Italy with an order from King
Alfonso to withdraw sums due me, and to
carry them in the diplomatic pouch to
Spain. The Italian court, however, did not
recognize the validity of the order.
Last May | was informed that decree
was published by the King of Spain inter-
dieting me, and was told that Alfonso
wished me to go to Madrid which did, ac.
companied by two Spanish officers.
Alfonso Immediately summoned me and
began to inquire about my health. It had
even been said that was smoking opium
and using morphine. This is all nonsense,
because I never tried to find any artihciei
paradises. To my remonstrances against
the decree Alfonso promised to arrange
things as soon as reports could be received

Rumania, but, like her, is most lively and
enterprising princess And here lies the
chief feminine interest Of the drama, for
Prince Antoine charges that his beautiful
daughter-in-law was constantly intriguing
against him to urge the weak King Alfonso
to rob him in order to pay his own debts,
to deprive him OF his estates and liberty
and perhaps even his precious existence.
And If the beautiful Princess Beatrice
was thus using her subtle influence with
King Alfonso against her father-in-law,
what object could she have had except to
gain wealth and supreme power at court
for herself? Beautiful princesses do not
exercise their fascinating arts upon the
King solely for the benefit of the King and
with the object of paying his old debts.
The Princess's marriage to her husband,
by the way, was a runaway match.
In order to put the principal personages
in this romantic drama clearly before the
reader this table of "dramatis personae"
will be useful:
King Alfonso Of Spain, an extravagant,
pleasure-loving monarch.
Queen Victoria, his English wife, who
banishes her cousin, Princess Beatrice,
when she discovers her plotting.
Infanta Eulalia, aunt of the King,
princess with modern ideas about divorce
and "women's rights"
Prince Antoine, her husband, a liberal
minded, open-handed prince of vast wealth,
who amuses himself away from court and
becomes a victim of intrigue.
Prince Alfonso, son of Infanta Eulalia
and Prince Antoine. tool OF stronger
characters.
Princess Beatrice, beautiful wife of
Prince Alfonso, who exercises great in
fuence over the King and intrigues against
her father-in-law.

trice is the first cousin
of Queen Victoria. The

ROME, Dec. 2s.

YIS Royal Highness Prince Antoine OF
- Bourbon-O Orleans, uncle and cousin
q = of the King Of Spain, has revealed
to the world a story of court plots and
counter plots that sounds like an intrigue
The Washington times., 1920-01-11


The Princes story, indeed.
is as thrilling as one of the
historical novels of Alex
andre Dumas or as a chapter
of real history in the days Of
the Borgias or at the court
of the Valois in France.
Prince Antoine, who was
deprived Of his royal rank
and estates in Spain In De-
cember, asserts that this ac-
tion was the result of a deep
laid conspiracy at King Al
fonso's court to obtain pos
session Of his property in
order to pay the Kings vast
debts incurred in all kinds
of debauchery and extrava-
gance, which he dared not
publicly admit.
Prince Antoine married
the Infanta Eulalia Of Spain,
who came to the United
States as q representative
of her country at the time
of the great Columbian Ex-
position. He has long been
separated from her. The
Infanta is the aunt Of King
Alfonso and her husband is
by birth a cousin Of the King
and by marriage the Kings
uncle.
