ENGLAND TAKING MANY
 POLICE PRECAUTIONS
King of Spain Will Be Closely Guard ed During His Visit There
 In London.

London, July 1 (P,-ExtraordinaIy police protection has been thrown about King Alfonso Of Spain for the duration of his fortnighCs visit to
 England. in consequence of the re- ported discovery Of a plot in France to assassinate him.
 In addition to the Spanish police agents who always travel with the monarch, special Scotland Yard of- ficers have been assigned 10 guard him. The precautions take are un- usual, contrastod with the protection generally accorded royal visitors.
 The Scotland Yarders and the Spanish police have prepared a scheme Of ''unobstrusiye protection. 2,
 which officials say will ensure AIron- sos complete safety.
 Close communication is also being maintained between Scotland Yard land the French police who deaIth with the discovery of the plot. and efforts are being made 10 trace the movements of the three men who avoided arrest in France.
 One of the greatest difficulties en- countered in protecting Alfonso is his own disregard for danger. He is well aware of the activities of the terrorists in Spain, but takes all sorts of chances in public. particular ly while abroad.

GIISWOLD
 REGULAR OFFICERS
IeartiIy In Accord With PrOpos- al To Employ Full Time Force
LONG FELT NEED, HE SAYS
Judge Says Court Receipts Could Not Pay for Officers, But Would Go Long Way Toward It-Boys Leave for Camp-Other Items.

q sincerely hope that such a thing can be put through" stated Judge George G. Griswold of the Berlin town court today when asked what he thought of the pro- rosal advanced by several citizens to employ three full-time policemen il town, with headquarters in the town hall. Judge Griswold said that the need is a lonS-feit one and that he has favored such step for many years.
 It would be out Of the question to pay for the hire O. the men and the upkeep of the police station with court receipts, according 10 the judge. Such a thing couldn't be done in any town in the state. However. with three men on duty all the while, there would be more cases in court, naturally, and the re- ceipts would go long toward de- fraying the expenses Of keeping three regular policemen and paying for the uplltep of the police quar- ters.
 The time is past when the town of Berlin c,n afford to he without regular police force, the judge said. The turnpike and it's hazards make If almost Imperative to employ reg uIar offictrs, he stated, adding that many residents of Berlin feel the same way about it. Both Judge Griswold and Prosecutor Charles F. Lewis realize the need of it, accord ing to tle judge.
 Ii is umored that Il group of resi- dents will shortly attempt to have the mster taken up in town meet Ing. Whether or not q special meet ing will be called is not known, since it is highly probably that the matter will hang fire until the next annull town meeting in October.
 It is certain that q majority of Berlin residents fcel the need of ampe police protection. II is point cd ,alt that the present system is en- tirslv inadequate 10 fill the needs of Berlin today. The townis growing an7 3. regular force is the only thing which can assure inc citizenry of safety.
 The present officers are efficient, l if Is said. but the system is such that l they cannot give their full time to | the job and therefore cannot op- l crate as efficiently as they could if | full time were given to the work. | The town now has several Consta- | bles but these men are employed l regularly eact day and unless some | thing unusual takes place in the ! course of tte daylight hours they ! do not atterd 10 police worl; until | evening.
 With three men on duty all the while. residents would know that If they called the police station they would be ,ble to get intno com with an officer at any | time, sine, a system would proba- bly, be worked ort whereby one of dcer woufd he on duty at heafGuar- ters all he time. This would aid residents in making complaints Al present much time is lost while corplat1ants endeayor to get into communication with officers.

FOUR YOUTHS ADMIT
ATTEMPTED HOLDUP

sheriff Perrin received a tip Mon
day that four young men who held up
the Spikes garage On the night Of Dec.
4th had been located at Walnut Ridge.
Accordingly he sent Deputies Donald
jackson and John Thompson to that
town where, in company with Sherlh
Neil Cole, they went to the home ot
Harrison Osborne where they found
him in bed suffering with a broken
collar bone and a badly wrenched back.
The officers questioned him as to how
It occurred and he said that he with
four others were coon hunting and That
he fell out of a tree. He gave the
names of his companions as Otto Freer,
who also lives in Walnut Ridge, ana
John Hudson and Charley Bushaw, two
youths who live near that towns The
officers then arrested each Of the others
and got statement from them.
Hudson and Bushaw each stated
that they were out hunting, but each
gave n different statement as to how
Osborne received his injuries. When
presented with the conflicting state
ments Of each of the other young men,
Freer, the fourth man Of the quar-
tette, is said to have made full con-
fession, stating that they were all -four
in the car and assisted in the ATTEMPTED
holdup. After they were foiled in
their attempt to hold Spikes up they
tried to make their getaway and in
their fight ditched their car a few
miles down the road and in the smash
up Osborne received the injuries that
have proved nearly fatal to him.
The officers brought the three of 'liem
to Pocahontas where they were placed
In Jail to await preliminary hearing
which will probably be held Thursday.
Osborne is under guard at his home,
being unable to be removed from his
bed. The young men range in age
from II to % years.
According to the story told by Freer,
they planned to hold up and rob
negro crap game at Walnut Ridge.
They could not locate the game and
one of them suggested holding up the
Spikes station.
The hold-up was frustrated when
Spikes and Louis Smith, who was in
the station, opened fire on them. A
gun battle ensued and the bandits were
put to fight. In speeding around the
curve at Shannon the auto was wreck
ed. After the wreck, according to
Freer, Osborn and another Of them
hid in a field while the other two
walked to the Bagley farm, several
miles distant, and got coupe. They
took Osborn to a doctor in Walnut
Ridge, telling all who asked that the
injured man had fallen from tree
while coon hunting.
