COUNTS LIFE
EBBS AS BLOOD
LOSS MOUNTS
Heir to Spanish Throne
Given TRANSMISSION
By Best Friend

NEW YORK, Aug. 28 GN.S0.
While the blood of his country
men redeemed the filedS of Spain
in a cause which conceivably could
result in his ascension to the
throne, Count Alfonso of Cova-
donga today bled dangerously in
the white sheets of Presbyterian
Hospital here.
A victim, not of war but of the
dread hereditary disease Of the
Bourbons, hemophilia, Count Al
fonSo has lost blood continuously
for more than 36 hours.
He was reported resting COM
fortably today after receiving
some of the blood of his faithful
companion, Gottfried Schweizer,
in a TRANSMISSION. But he still is
not out of danger.
DR.. Antonio ValentiMeStre, his
Spanish physician, said:
"He is dull and his chances
are just fair"
BOIL STARTED BLOOD
The Count was rushed to the
hospital Wednesday night after a
physician had lanced boil and
thus started him bleeding.
Blood of the sufferers Of the
mysterious hemophilia, which al
fects only men, does not clot as
it does in normal persons. Once
bleeding starts, even though from
a minor wound, it is extremely diff
ficult and sometimes impossible to
stop.
Count Alfonso almost lost his
life from an internal hemor-
rhage in Havana last February.
Schweizer gave a quart and a half
of his blood in 20 tranSfusionS to
save him at that time.
Claimed Brothers Life
Two years ago hemophilia
claimed the life of one of the
Counts brothers, the prince child
Gonzala, in Spain. Gonzalo was
cut in an auto accident. Though
the foremost physicians of the
country were summoned, he bled
to death. Instead of clotting, his
blood ran thin as Spanish white
wine.
A year before that the Counts
father, the then King Alfonso. al
most lost his life after an automo.
bile accident. His face was white
as wax when doctors finally man
aged to stem the flow of blood.
Because of the pending annul.
ment of his marriage to the beau
tiful Cuban commoner, the former
Edelmira Sampredo, Count Alfonso
i is regarded as a possible heir ap
parent to the Spanish throne.

LONDON, August % U.N.S).
George Lansbury, veteran British
laborite member of Parliment, pro-
posed peace conference of world
rulers when he was in Washing
ton recently, he disclosed today as
the executive councils of the labor
party and trades union congress
met jointly to discuss the policy
of organized British labor towards
Spain.
Revealing his advocacy of a
peace conference such as that at
tributed to President Roosevelt
this week-but denied by his ad-
visors- stated:
"That was the aim of my
American trip. told Americans
that if the British government
did not call the conference I
wanted Americans to induce
President Roosevelt to do so.
''If a man like Roosevelt could
meet leaders not in formal con-
ference but as a human being,
then the atmosphere of back to
barbarism' which hangs heavy
over us might be lifted.
II am convinced that if lead
ers, including Stain and Hitler,
got together, a real step toward
peace would be taken.
'NO nation wants war. All
are arming because of fear"
Meanwhile a majority of the
labor party and trades union con-
gress executive council members
were believed to favor non-inter-
vention in the Spanish civil war.

ored for support of the Madrid
regime.

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
TOP EKA, Kan, Aug. %.
U.N.SO The American people
are aroused to the issues of the
presidential campaign and will
vote for good government in No
vember, Governor Alfred M. Lam
don declared here today as he
rested after his first campaign
trip into the East.
The Republican nominee will re-
main here, clearing his guberna-
torial desk in the State House,
until he leaves for Des Moines
next week to confer with PreSi-
dent Roosevelt on the drought
situation. Landon will make GER
tain recommendations to the preSi-
Dental conference for relieving
the drought but their details will
not be made public until after he
speaks to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Landon was highly delighted
with his reception from crowds in
nine States on the 2,900-mile jour
ney from his vacation retreat in
the Colorado Rockies to his birth
place at West MiddleseX, Pa, and
back to Topeka. He particularly
expressed qualification at the in
terest taken by women and young
people in scores of cities and
towns, where he made brief talks
from his train or formal speeches.
Gratified by Trip
Landon said:
81 return to Topeka deeply
gratified with my first trip of
the 1886 campaign. Travelling
for eight days between the
Rocky Mountains and Lake
Erie, I have appreciated the
friendly welcome of those whom
1 have had the opportunity of
meeting, whether it be from the
rear platform of the train,
aboard the train, or at West
MiddleSex, Pa, Chautauqua and
Buffalo,"
The nominee made his major
addresses in these three cities.
He added:
"It has been interesting to
find that the people of all of
the nine States visited are striv-
ing to solve in an honest and
common sense way their COM
mon problems. Our neighbOrs
of Colorado and Nebraska are
much the same in their
thoughts and aspirations as the
people of Pennsylvania end New
York. And all are No different
from the folks of Kansas.
Everywhere, despite differ
ences in geography, the people
are undoubtedly interested in
good government. The crowds
that have gathered is proof of
this interest.

he went on his 2,900-mile journey
from the Rockies to Buffalo and
back to Topeka. Time after time,
his speeches from the rear end of
his train were broken up by sud-
den showers. At other stops his
train rolled to a halt just as a
heavy rain ceased. In other
places rain either preceded or fol-
lowed his speech.
At West MiddleSex, Pa, his
birthplace, it rained all morning
only to clear before he spoke in
the afternoon. At Chautauqua,
it rained the day before he spoke.
At Buffalo, it rained the day be-
fore he spoke, the afternoon he
spoke and Sprinkled the night he
spoke.
On his way home, he rode
through heavy rains in Ohio and
Illinois. In Missouri, the rains
were ahead of him. And all the

crowds he would like Ito take
the rains home with me-" He
did. It rained here during the
early morning hours. And Ian
