KING ALFONSO EXPECTED TO JOIN HIS FAMILY IN FRANCE
LONDON IS. ULTIMATE GOAL
Of DEPOSED MONARCH

Zamora stepped before the micro
phone to request the peoples
allegiance to the new govern
ment. The blinds Of the cars
were drawn.
Accompanying the exiled King,
so far as could be learned, were
the Duke of Miranda, several roy
alist supporters, an escort Of civil
guards, and Alfonso's personal at
tendant. The cars rushed at fast
pace through the dark night and
reached Cartagena before dawn.
It was understood here that the
French government has assured
the royal families its protection.
Indications were that similar wei
come would be extended to them
in England, where plans for their
reception were reported under
way. Alfonso is related to the
British royal family through his
marriage to King Georges cousin.

ney and William Wright.
The trio was taken to the
Eleventh precinct and then the
two men were taken to police
headquarters and grilled.
Finally, Charles Owens broke
down and confessed participation
in the attempted robbery.
He told of leaving with Gary
wens and boarding the street
car.
Gary whipped out a pistol.
There was struggle and
shot rang out. Charles and Gary
leaped from the "ar and ran
across the St. EliZabeth'S Hos
pital grounds.
Gary said, according to
Charles:
II shot that guy. I don't
know whether l killed him or
not. The-fOOI shouldn't have
tried to fight.
Denies the Story
After this the men separated
and returned to their homes. A
few days lat Gary was taken
into custory and then released.
After hearing Charles story de-
tectives brought Gary into the
room. The nephew leaned across
the table and said:
'Well, I told them about 1t.
I told them we tried to hold up
the car and that you shot the
mOtOrman."
The uncle leaped out Of his
chair and glared at his nephew
with blazing eyes. He shouted:
That's a damned lie. I
never shot anybody. 1 never
tried to hOldup anybody. You
can't put this on my shoulders"
Detectives seized the man and
forced him down IN his seat.
Charles then reiterated his con-
fession, looking steadily at his
uncle. The uncle assumed a sui
len attitude and refused to say
anything other than:
"It's a lie. 1 didn't do 1t.
It's a Iie."
It was almost 3 O'Clock this
morning before detectives COM
pIeted their grilling and then re-
turned the two prisoners to the
Eleventh precinct.
The gHilling was continued this
morning and police are hopeful
that Gary will break ana admit
the murder.

SAYS WRITER
Ex-King, in Interview With
Frazier Hunt, Voices Wish
to Make "UnoffiCiaI" Tour

NEW YORK, April Is G.N.SD. Z.
Don Alfonso de Bourbon, until
yesterday His Majesty, the King
of Spain, but now just a private
citizen, is certain to come to
America soon, in the opinion of
Frazier Hunt, well-known maya
zine writer, who obtained the last
formal interview with the Spanish
ruler. Mr.. Hunts interview ap-
peared in the Cosmopolitan maya
zine in June, 1880. He said
today:
king Alfonso told me that
he would like very much to
come to America, especially to
attend the Chicago exposition
in 1892, if he could travel as
a private citizen. Now, in view
of what has happened, 1 believe
he will come here much sooner,
possibly some time this year"
Avoided Stock Crash
Mr.. Hunt paid high tribute to
the Kings business ability.
"He was q lot smarter than
hundreds of Americans who
were supposedly right on the
job. He saw the big crash
coming in Wall Street long be-
fore they did here in America
apparently. He told me that
he had sold all of his hold
ings-and they were very ex-
tensive-in July, 1929, several
months before the market
crashed.
eff any big American firms
are seeking a smart foreign
representative they would do
well to try to obtain the
services of Alfonso. He would
make a great directing head
for any organization. He has
been able to make a lot Of
money for himself and he
could do it for others"
Eager to See America
Mr.. Hunt told of his interview
with the King, which took place
at the palace in Madrid on
Christmas morning, 1929. He
described the king as one of the
most charming men he had ever
interviewed. In his story in Cos
mopolitan, Mr.. Hunt wrote:
"T hope you won't be so
busy that you cannot come to
the Chicago exposition in 1882
I said. TT would be mighty
fine if you could
"'Why nOt,' he answered,
with an expressive open gesture
of his long, able hands. Maybe
/ can come, but would want
to travel unofficiaIIy. 1 would
like to do that very much
"YOu know he continued,
I've always had a lot of affec-
ton for America. I've worked
more than a quarter of a cen.
tury to bring about close rela-
tiOnS between our two govern
ments.'"
The Washington times., 1931-04-15

All were much affected and Of
the entire group the only one
who did not give way to tears
was the Infante Don Jaime, who
bore tie responsibility Of escort
ing his royal mother out of Spain.
The Queen embraced MANY of
her ladieS-in-waiting and close
friends among the group who had
gathered to bid her farewell. She
expressed her sorrow at leaving
country (which 1 love SO well
and where 1 have so many loyal
friends"
The last meeting was brief and
as the Queen turned to board the
waiting train she was weeping
profusely. The mobiles stood
silently with heads barred as the
royal travellers steamed out into
the night.

StimSon Lifts Ban
On NICARAGUA News

Secretary of State Stimson to-
day lifted the censorship which
has blanketed all official dis
patches from Nicaragua for the
past two days.
Angered over newspaper reports
that a war time type of censor
was Withholding Nicaraguan dis
patches from the press, it was said
on Secretary StimsOn's behalf to-
day that he never planned to con.
ceal or withhold any news of the
Central America republic relating
to the rise of banditry and revolt
there.
His whole purpose has been, it
was said at the State Depart
ment, to review the navy dis
patches before they were made
public. He had never intended
t. withhold them from the press.
LOOting Exaggerated
Reports reaching the State De-
partment today from American
Minister Hanna at Managua, in
dicated that the looting follow
ing the earthquake in that cap
ital has been greatly exaggerated.
Minister Hanna's dispatch said:
"'NO IOOterS were killed by
American Marines. There were
two cases in which lOOterS were
shot by the native guards. On
the whole the behavior of the
pOpulace after the fire was
restrained and temperate"
Situation under Control
The situation at Puerto Cabezas,
threatened by Sandino bandits, is
now firmly under control, accord
ing to State Department dis
patches. The landing force from
the cruiser Asheville has already
returned to the ship. Bandits
are no longer threatening but as
a matter of precaution, patrols
will be maintained in the out
skirts of the town for sometime
to come.
John Bryan, 40, is reported to
have been killed. He had been
in Nicaragua for a year, accord
ing to his brother, Joseph L..
Bryan, of 1922 B st. S. E.. Wash
ingtOn.
In Charge of Plantation
He has been in charge of a
1000 acre banana plantation
near the British Honduras bound
ary and had planned to return to
Washington. He was to have
sailed from the port of Cabeza
on Sunday, April 10.
John Bryan, according to let
ters received by his brother,
would doubtless have returned
to this country to make his home
as he was not fully satisfied with
the living and working conditions
in the Central American country.
Another brother, William P.
Bryan, resides at 1862 South Caro-
lima Ave. S. E., has also been
deeply concerned regarding the
welfare of John as they feared
outbreaks of native workers over
whom he had control.

Referring to the important interim
during which the coalition cabinet
ruled Britain before the recent elec-
tions, we learn that the king pre-
vented what might have been a po-
litical and business debacle by stav-
ing off the emergency until the ma
ton had time to find itself.
The crisis, we are told, came just
before the fall Of Macdonald as the
labor premier. The country was in
a bad way and he wanted to resign.
This meant an immediate election.
Hurrying to London from his coun-
try home, the king called Macdonald,
Samuels, the new labor leader, and
Stanley Baldwin, conservative chief,
into conference at the palace. There
he told them the nation appeared
to have gotten into rather bad mess
and that, in his opinion, an imme-
diate election could only make it
worse. Therefore" he is said to
have added, Il have asked you three
gentlemen, as leaders of the three

net which ruled until the nation

New York, Dec. 22.-One of the
sights of "old New York" I shall al
ways regret missing was that Of
Barry Wall, the king of the dudes, .
strolling the "Avenoo' in all his bi-
zarre sartorial splendor.
Apparently this was one gent
about whom exaggeration would be
impossible. Recently I encountered
an ancient photo showing this fash
ion plate wearing tight CATERS to the
knees; an eye-crashing plaid and
striped coat came to the waist and
looked as though borrowed from a
minstrel parade; low silk topper
perched at an angle on his head.
A top hat, 1t seems, was the mark
of a banker a lawyer or an actor out
of work. Identification depended up
on what part of the city the person
happened to be haunting.
Today every third clerk encoun-
tered at theater hour affects a "top-
per" and even drama critics have
been observed wearing them. In
Bary,s day no "dude' was complete
without a pair of shoes so thinly
pointed that they could have been
used for toothpicks; bullying and loud

Later in the afternoon, as prepara-

In both cases police charged the

It may be that the Communist

they do not actually tell their dupes
