NIP PLOT TO
KILL KING OF
SPAIN, REPORT
Spanish Censorship Makes it
Impossible to Verify
RumOr
POLICE GUARD MONARCH
Arrest Man at Santander for
Alleged Attempt on Life
of Alfonso

New York. Aug. 2l.--(P)-The CEN
sorship in Spain, apparently is pre-
venting for the moment the estab.
lishment of the truth or falsity Of
a circumstantial story related by a
traveller arriving at Hendaye, France,
from Santandcr, Spain. Of an at
tempt TO assassinate King Alfonso at
Santander last Saturday night.
Recently there have been other re-
ports Of plots against the life Of the
Spanish monarch, and an official
statement issued in Madrid Of June
admitted one plot.
The story of the traveller at Hem
daye was to the effect that tail,
well-dressed man put his hand in his
pocket as the royal automobile in
which the King was approaching
near home. A suspicious movement
in changing his dark eye glasses to
clear glasses was noticed by the Sc
cret service men who took him into
custody.
1t was asserted in Barcelona, ac-
cording to the traveller that the King
had been wounded in the shoulder,
that the duke of Marmanda had been
killed and the Kings chauffeur
wounded.
He added that there was no at
tempt to hide the fact that there
was plot against Alfonso in sew
cral cities, participated in by for
eigners. and that police are TAX
ing extraordinary precautions ia
protect the monarch.

Opinion of Attorney Gen.
eral in Procedure
RECEIVE NOTORIOUS, Bill

The state board Of ad\ n.stratlon
today asked Attorney General George
Shafer for an opinion AS to the pro.
per action for it to take with regard
to the c;ty's demand that the capltol
car line be abandoned and the prop
erty dismantled.
Formal notification Of the passage
by the city commission OF a resoiu-
ton demanding such action was re-
ceived by the board Friday and con
sideration will be given the pro-
blem at a meeting of the state body
tomorrow
The Interstate Transportation
company yesterday submitted to the
board a formal proposal to install bus
service if the street car is abandon.
ed. 1t would sell fares in books. OF
so each or $3.75; ten tickets for $l.Vl
and separate fares for "a cents each
The route to be covered half hour

From the Mckenzie hotel west or

to Fourth street, North to Avenue E
East to sixth street, North to tht
Capitol building; South on Sixti

to the Mckenzie hotel.
1t is doubtful, r. B. Murphy, CHAIR
man of the state board, said. wheth
er or not the state can comply witt
the city's demands. 1t has neithe
money nor authority to dismantie tht
property and no money to pave be
tween the tracks as demanded in tn
city )mmission's resolution.
Since the street car franchlsed eX
pired in 1923 it is doubtful, Murph!
said, whether the city could forc'
the state to live up to its franchise
agreement which required pavinf
between the tracks. However, ther'
is no question as to the moral ob
legation. he said.
In its proposal no mention wa
made by the Interstate Transporta
tion company as to the number o.
buses it proposed to place in service
if the street car is abandoned ant
its offer accepted. Murphy said NJ
presumed that they intended to oper
ate more than one, in view of tn
character of the route outlined.

Rhode Island is requiring motorists its heavily

THE POSTAL DEFICIT

Postal for the fiscal year 1925 are gong
to leave deficit of $4,000 000 in spite of the higher
rates Or possibly it should be said because of the
higher rates.
The rates were increased on certain kinds of mail
matter in order to provide revenue for the raises given
postal employees. Large users of the mails however,
nave been making less than before of the mail fa
cities subjected to this higher rate. They say they
cannot afford now to use the mails they did form
erly.
Higher taxation is often found futile as a revenue
point of diminishing returns, beyond which the high
er tax fails because people will cannot pay it.
This argument is being used with regard to the
higher income tax rates. and upheld by recent
experience in that field-a big surplus following the
last lowering of tax rates
