By Associated Press

Athens, November 12.-The late King Alexander's marriage with Asjasia Manos was declared valid by the court here today, which dismissed the oppo- sition of former King Constantine and ordered the seals on the apartments of the late monarch broken.
 Madame Manos will inherit Alexan- der's personal property.
 Madame MAnos' attorney asked the court on November to remove the seals from the apartments of the late King Alexander, claiming that she le- gally was entitled to inherit his prop erty. A lawyer acting for former King Constantine asked the court to sus- rcnd action until he had time to in- stitute opposition. He declared Con- stantine intended to contend that the marriage of the late monarch and Mime. Manos was invalid. -

The other was not so fortunate. Halfway out it was derailed, and at o'clock, the hour fixed for de- parture, the second train was not yet in sight, nor was there any word from it.

 Less than two miles out on the prairie the driver sighted the delayed second section coming towards him, and threw his own motor into reverse to come back into Point Isabel. Then the tragedy of the day occurred. The load was too great for reversed engine and the crank shaft and one of the springs un- der the car gave way simultaneously.

WHISKY ROBBERS MAKE HUGE HAUL FOLLOWING
 KIDNAPPING OF OFFICER
By Associated PreEs

Newark, N. J.. November 14.--A band of whisky thieves, believed by the po- lice to number 25 or more, early today broke open two freight cars in the South Broad street railroad yards here and stole 5sS cases of whisky and A barrels of alcohol. The whisky is valued at sS2,- S40 and the alcohol at s35,200. The loot was carried off in motor trucks after a railroad policeman had been kidnaped.
 Tie robbers had emptied two freight cars and were breaking into the third car when the police surprised them. The police feared to open fire on the robbers in the darkness lest they might wound one another, and in the delay the thieves fled down the railroad tracks through the maze of cars and escaped.
 Two truck loads of plunder were re- covered. The whisky barrels bore labels of the American Distilling company, Pekin, III,

VOTERS
DESERT IN RED
RIVER DISTRICT
Falling Off Shown in Counties
Which Adjoin North Dakota,
Refuting League Lie

Fargo, June 2S.-The Townley head
quarters has during the week issued
frequent statements calling attention
to alleged tremendous gains in Red
ftiver counties OF Minnesota, shown
at the recent primary election.
Carefully refraining from quoting
figures, the league organs have print
ed streamers about the great victory
for the league in Minnesota and in
particular in the Red River valley.
The figures when analyzed prove that
the league cannot possibly survive
a similar "victory." The Nonpartisan
vote in Clay county in 1918 was 1884:
this year it was 1435. Norman coun-
ty cast 1896 Nonpartisan votes two
years ago, this year 1913; Polk county
shows decrease from 1878 to 2776.
Wilkin cut the vote from 622 to 3S9;
Kittson from 1916 to 696, and Mar
shall from 2232 to 1859.
The total Nonpartisan vote in the
sir Red River counties was reduced
from 1923 in 1918 to 1883 in 1929.
The league majority in the six coun-
ties was cut from 2101 to 612.
The league state headquarters here
says that the results in the Red Riv-
er valley counties indicate the trend
of public opinion in North Dakota.
A similar reduction in the Nonpartt-
son vote here would mean decided
defeat of Townleyism.

Jack Guyer Must Face Another
Trial at Ft. Yates After
Jury Was Out 18 Hours

Fort Yates, June 28.-The Jury in
the cattle rustling case against Jack
Guyer was discharged by Judge Han
