-Lieutenant-C Colonel Graham Seton
Hutchinson, former army intelligence
officer and internationally known
author. revived today reports that
King Albert of Belgium did not fall
from a mountain side to his death,
but was murdered.
Il know the facts" said Hutchi-
son in a speech to the writer's club.
The story about his death was
about the biggest piece of nonsense
put over on the world in six months.
1T was put over by planned per-
jury. I aScertained that there were
no bruises on the kings body or his
hand. He was tapped on the back
of the head. This is known in Bel
GUM and nobody dares speak of his
death in Belgium today.
King Albert was opposed TO war
and would not participate in the
devilry of war against defenSeleSs
Germany. He was a great unifying
force between the Walloon and
Flemish sections of Belgium"
Colonel Hutchinson is a graduate of
the Royal Military Academy. In
the World war he served with great
distinction with the Ninety-third
H~ighlanders and the machine gun
corps on the western front. He won
the Distinguished Service Order and
the Military Cross for g~allantry and
was thrice wounded.

The radioed assurance of the
captain that there was no person
aboard who, by any stretch of i'm
agination, could be confused with
the mid-weStern desperate, ended
official concern at this port, and no
police precautions were taken when
the Duchess of York docked at $50
p. m.
The only official to board the ship
other than the customary immigra-
ton officer, was a private detec-
tive from the aliens department.
1t was learned that the captains
investigation was inStigated origin
ally at the request Of the United
States department of justice. which
had asked the Canadian Pacific line,
at Halifax, to check on the paSsen-
gers before the Duchess of York
sailed.
The ship already had left, how
ever, and the consul at Glasgow was
informed of the request for an in
vestigation. The counsel asked the
Canadian Pacific office at Glasgow
to wireless Captain Stuart and the
captain acted quickly, setting the
rumors at end.

Badly burned as he accidentally
came in contact with a high tension
electric wire while working in the
Wabash street plant of the Indi-
annapolis Power and Light Company

Other workmen, Fred Bechold, R.

pulling him from the wire and
%clinging to him to prevent the VIC
tim from falling from the tower on
which the men were working three
stories above the street level.
Shortly after work started at the

cry attracted attention of his fell

Without a moments hesitation
Bechold and Dayhof assembled to
the tower and tore Hamilton loose
from the wire, disregarding their
own safety. They then chung to the
victim until other workmen, at

victim was lowered.
Suffering from serious burns of
the hands and body, Hamilton was
rushed to city hospital, where he is
said to be in serious condition.
Bechold and Dayhof were treated

SPECIAL BILL NEEDED
Extra Legislation Is Held

Congress Days.
BVT imes Special

DIT p tWfN GUfffNl
WASHINGTON. d. c.. May s.
Possibility of a public works admin
~istration loan for the city of Indian
apolis to purchase the Citizens Gas
Company IS completely out of the
picture, it was stated today at the
Office Of Harold L. Ickes, PWA ad-
minlstratOr.
Nothing short of an act of con-
greSs could make such a loan pos
sible and such special legislation will
be impossible in the closing days of
the session. it was predicted.
Under the provision of the PWA
setup, all monies must be spent for
construction and not for plant pur-
chases, such as was contemplated in
the indianapolis gas plan.
This law will remain unchanged
when new appropriations are made
unless Senator Frederick Van Mugs
or Representative Louis Ludlow
could insert an amendment caring
specifically for the indianapolis
case.
Such letting down of the bars
is said to be practically impossible
and a special bill could not be in
trOduCed and passed now.
At the present time, and until a
pew appropriation is available, PWA
is at a standstill so far as any prof.
ret approval is concerned. All
available money has been allotted,
Mr.. Ickes reports.
A slight possibility of paving the
way for more funds for Indiana
when the new appropriation is made
was seen in a ruling of Mr.. Ickes,
which lifts the requirement that
municipal and county bonds must
be first approved by recognized
bonding attorneys before they will
be accepted by PWA.
PWA attorneys will pass on the
bonds h|enceforth and their opinion
will be sufficient, it was announced.
This stand may provide some open
ing for Indiana bonds heretofore
rejected because of the $3.50 tax law
limitation. although the question is
not moot since no funds are avail
able.
