Haney, late Democratic nominee for Senator, and John Manning, Smith supporters are leading, with George Curry and H. G. Starkweather, the latter the Walsh leader, running next.

His Most Catholic Majesty is thought to agree with Dictator Primo de Rivera that none of the four Spanish Infantes (sons of the King) are physically fit to inherit the throne. For their weakness: and infirmities His Majesty understood to blame reports, said to cir Al- ed| a 0! not his own ardent self, but Her | Majesty. He is said to have test- ed this theory hy begetting, under the rose, spring. Meanwhile, unfertunate Queen Victoria Bugenie is not likely to forget that she is descended (through her father) from the Teuton family of 'Hesse-Darm- stadt. In the strain of that house | abides the dread and mysterious disease, haemophilia. The blood of a haemophile does not congeal mnormally upon con- tact with the air, and ‘thus the slightest wound leads to profuse bleeding, due to the extreme re- tardation of the process vulgarly called “healing.”” Now 'it hap- pens that from the haemophilic House of Hesse-Darmstadt have sprung the last of the Russian Tsarinas, Alexandra, and the pres ent Queen Victoria Kugenie of Spain. To each of these exalted mothers came the bitter pang of recognizing in her first born son State Convention. It is under- stood they will work for the re- nomination of Coolidge with Her- bert C. Hoover, second choice. —, - Stunting Plane Crashes and Two Aviators Injured SEATTLE, May 19—Skimming a grocery store roof, an airplane crashed nose first early last eve- ning in the South Seattle Field injuring Harry Nilson, instructor and Carl Berlin, student.

As everyone knows ‘Psarina Alexandro and Tsar Nicholas the Last came under the influence of the notorious “Black Monk” Ras- putin because he could control— it is said by hypnotism—the hae mophilia of the Tsarevitch Alexis. Not until the assassination of Rasputin and the execution of the Romanovs did history have done with that dark incident. Today Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain is said to repose a strong intui tive faith in a certain obscure Catalonian doctor whom she hopes may be able to cure the haemophilia of her first born, Don Alfonso, 21, Prince of she As. turias, and heir to Alfonso xm'- throne.

It was less than five hours between the | | time the bill reported and on the way to the Sen- ate. This speed is interpret- ed as meaning the session’s | work is approaching the end.

Among - well-posted Spaniards there was emphasized, last wéek, the tentative character of *he in- Guiries made at the Vatican as to whether any flaw exists in the marriage of His Most C~tholic Majesty which could be construed as rendering it null. .- Should such a flaw be conveniently found it would be apparent that their Majesties have not been married all these years, and His Majesty would naturally be free to take another Consort and beget a per- haps more healthy heir. So far as the attitude of the Vatican could be ascertained, last week, the Beatissimus Pater, Pope Pius XI, appeared to deplore the pos- sibility that a flaw could be found. ‘His attitude resembled that of a secular judge reluctant to grant a divorce. In these cir- cumstances, and because. the Bri- tish Government would be sure to resent any brusque treatment of Queen Victoria Fugenie, it was intimated at Madrid that impetu- ous but shrewd King Alfonso XHI and wary Dictator Primo de Rivera are reconsidering any in- tention which they may hawe had to ask the Vatican for an annul- ment. *An orr mooted alternative, viewed with repugnance by the King and Father, would be to ‘transfer the succession to Prince Alfonso of Bourbon-Sicily, healthy and dashing son of His Majesty's elder sister, the late Infanta I{,- ria-de-las-Mercedes, Queen of Spain/ qul King Alfonso's W % e o, ) this time forward, to publish as news the appearance on duty of any sg-called dry member of the| House or Senate in an obviously intoxicated condition.” The warning is obviously in- tended to prevent a repetition of the scenes enacted in the closing hours of the last session of Con- gress when one senator, recog nized as a leading champion of prohibition, had to be led out of the Senate chamber and four or five others groped their way in and out of the cloakrooms in full view of the gallery crowds. e s IVY IRKS NEIGHBOR ed yesterday because of fog.
