Marce|o de A|vear,
Former President
OF Argentina, Dies
Head of Pro-Democrutic
Porty Had Been III
For Some Time

By the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES. March a.
Marcelo de Alvear, 70, president Of
Argentina during the republics
golden era Of 1922-1928 and Min
lister to France during the first
World War, died last night at his
country estate in suburban Don
Torcuato.
He had been Ill for some time
and less than two weeks ago re-
signed as national chairman of the
Union Civica Radical" Argentina S
major pro-democratic political party.
The resignation. however, was re-
jected by the National Committee.
Marcelo Torcuato de Alvear,
fourth of line illustrious In Ar
gentine history, governed his coun-
try during the most prosperous
time the nation had known.
Bumper crops of wheat, corn, cat
tie and sheep coincided with high
agricultural prices in the wake Of
the World War, and recuperating
Europe was an eager customer. The
peso went higher than par, and
Argentina progressed with seven
league strides.
Alvear's administration was a rift
less interlude between the first and
second terms of his Radical party
colleague, Hipolito Yrigoyen, that
unpublished hero Of the masses, who
was destined to be overthrown by
revolution in 1890. In the Casa
Rosada social gayety sparkled about
the continental-minded President
and his wife, who had sung on the
stage as Regina Paccini. The Prince
Of Wales paid his first visit to Ar
gentina, and the Crown Prince OF
Italy was the nations guest.
Born October 1, 1868.
Great-grandson of a Spanish ad-
miral, sent to Buenos Aires by the
King OF Spain to settle an Hispano-
Portuguese dispute over the bound
ary between Brazil and Argentina,
Marcelo was born in the Argentine
capital on October 4, 1868, and fin
ished his law studies at %. He had a
revolutionary fling. participating in
an aboruve rebellion against con-
servatism in 1898, and organizing a
Union Of Radical YOUTH" but hav-
ing independent means he began to
spend much Of his time in Europe.
He served a couple Of terms in the
Chamber Of Deputies after 1912. and
Yrigoyen in 1916 made him Minister
to France, where he advocated a
breach of relations with Germany
after its submarine campaign jeo-
pardized Argentina's food shipments
to Britain. In 1920 he was on the
Argentine delegation to the League
of Nations, and resisted but eventu.
ally obeyed Yrigoyen's instructions
to withdraw his country from men,
bership in that body.
He retired to Paris after his presi-
dency, came home at his partys call
after the 1880 revolution to reorgan-
ize the Radicals, was refused per-
mission by the de facto government
to be the Radical presidential can
didate at the elections which re-
stored constitutionalism, and was in
Hted to leave the country when the
Radicals were suspected Of aiding
an abortive revolt in July, 1881.
Again he went to Europe, but came
back early in 1882 to resume reshap-
ing his party when Argentina re-
turned to normalcy under President
Augustin P. Justo, who had been
Minister Of War in the Alvear cab
met.

TYPHOID FEVER
 PATIENT FOUND
Second Case Within Three Weeks Reported to
 Health Officials

The second case of typhoid fever in Waterbury within three weeks was reported today by the State Health department in its weekly bulletin. Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, was out of the city but aides said that the case had been traced to carrier and there was no danger of any outbreak.
 Discovery of the new case was made Friday. The victim Is a Wom- an, who is now under medical care. In the earlier case, in which the victim was a man, the cause has not yet been found, though inves- tigation has been steadily carried on by Dr. Godfrey and his staff.
 The two vases have no connection with the city's water supply, health department authorities reiterated today. The low level of the muni- cipal reservoirs has caused an un- pleasant water taste for some weeks but the water is still pure and safe.
 Four cases of whooping cough for the city are listed in the State Health departments weekly report Also listed are three cases of scarlet fever and one case of lobar pneu- monia.
 The severe winter weather is blamed for the statewide increase in most types of communicable dis ease.
