HUSBAND LOCKED
 OUT HIS WIFE
This Is Claim Made by Mrs,
 Isabella Spencer

New York. May IT R-Mrs. 1sa- bella Spencer. daughter of Sir James Beattie of Scotland, and England, was locked out of her Fifth avenue apartment last month by her hus- band, Harold s. Spencer. lawyers told Supreme Court Justice Erlang- CT yesterday.
 Counsel for husband and wife filed briefs in Mrs. Spencer's action seek ing to prevent her husband from suing her for divorce in Wisconsin. Decision was reserved.
 Mrs. Spencer's lawyer said the couple lived in London. England, from 1918 to 1924 and that they then became residents of New York. con- trary to Spencer's claims that they become residents of Wisconsin. He asked for an order compelling Spencer to bring his suit in this state.
 The lawyer said that on April 27 Spencer changed the lock on the couples apartment in lower fifth avenue, told the housekeeper not to let his wife in, and then went to Wisconsin where he had the divorce papers prepared. He said Spencer was back in this city on May ?.
 Counsel for Spencer said Spencer had changed the lock and ordered his wife to leave after re- turning from Europe to be told by tho building door man that man had been staying in the apartment. Masculine garments belonging to Spencer al3o were found in the apartment he said.

SPANISH ARMADA
 AGAIN IS PLANNED
This Time the King Will Have q
 v Peace Voyage

Madrid, May IT (uP)-Construc- tion of q Spanish armada of peace to escort King Alphonso across the seas on visit to North and South America, the United Press learned from high and authoritative source today, is being discussed here. The information became available in connection with the double anni-
 versary today of King Alphonso's s birth 4l years ago and his formal
 assumption of the throne 25 years
 ago. Alphonso was proclaimed king on the day of his birth. May IT. 1 1Ss6, under the regency of his
 mother, his father having died the previous November. On May F. 1902, the regency ended and AL
 phonso became king in fact as well
 as in name.
 King Alphonso will visit North
 and South America as soon as it is politically possible for him to do so. it was said here. Government con- firmation added that unless some- 1 thing unforeseen occurs, the king will depart for the new world in ! 1929. probably accompanied by Premier Primo de Rivera, if the lat ter were still in power.
 Material means for the trip have ! been under discussion for some time.
 It has been suggested that sea squadron of Aa vessels be built to
 escort the king. Each Spanish
 province would raise funds by cele-
 brations, bull fights and tombolas to
 build one ship which would carry the name of the province. The con- struction of 4s ships would greatly remedy the current labor crisis. A tiftieth vessel would be constructed with funds provided by Spaniards living in North and South America. That vessel, to be named America, would bear the king and his party. Many details remained to be con- sidered. for instance the appoint ment of some kind of regency dur
 ing the kings absence. King AL phonso's desire to go is undeniable.
 He recently was quoted as having said America, spiritually, is a
 prolongation of Spain
 The king would have visited the
 new world long ago, probably in 1920, but was obliged to cancel his
 plans because of domestic consider ation,
