PARIS. July 3 CR.-Bonaventure
Duretti. Spa Eish anarchist, who was
arrested on a charge of cOnspiring to
assassinate King Alfonso of Spain,
today said that the real motive was
only to kidnap the King and then
start a revolt ton.
When Duretti was arrained before
an examining magistrate today, he
said his version of the pretended at
tack on the King while the latter was
in Paris was false. He added that he
did not want to embarrass the revo-
lutionary movement in Spain.
The defendant then protested
against a charge that he had partici-
pated in a bank robbery in Spain. He
asserted that the Spanish government
was seeking to implicate him in the
robbery in order to be able to demand
his extradition.

Abadia Ascaro, who was arrested

Figures compiled in the public
parks office show that the per acre
appropriations for care and improve
merit OF the parks is dWindling, but
this is not as serious as it looks on
it's face, as many of the park areas
which have been purchased by the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission will not come under the
Improvement program for some years.
The per acre appropriation In l9Zo
was $1S4.11. In the fiscal year 1926
it was $l7549. and this year 1t is
S172.25 per acre. Last year the APP

was S63l,7O0, while this year it is
S676,790, and. most Of this is to be
expended on parkways now accessible
to the public.

Many of the projects which are
being purchased by the Park and
Planning Commission, it must be re-
membercd, are being bought to save
them from destruction for park pur-
poses. and many of them will not be
improved for some time. notably Rock
Creek and Potomac Parkway. While
some Improvement has been started
in the northern end of this. it will be
some years before this area connect

is connected for public use. For in
stance, before this Improvement is
completed there must be a SeaWall
built on the Potomac River costing
more than S250000, an estimate for
which is to go to Congress at the next
session.

increase in the park area during the
past couple of years. In 1924 the
total park acreage was 3,047. from

rise to $3.50 in 1925. $500 in 1926 and
