ALFONSO DEFEATED BY REPUBLICANS Ministers of State, Justice and Education Out in Republican Slide. (Continued From First Page.) tricts were the same as those of the cities a monirchist cabinet would find | its position untenable. Pertinax, commentator of Echo de Paris, was inclined to think the mon- | arch rathcr than the monarchy in dan- ger and considered the question wheth- er the monarchist enemies of Alfonso were strong enough to impose main- tenance of the monarchy under an- other sovereign. The peseta, which recently had been improving, slumped this morning to around 943 to the dollar, compared with & Saturday quotation of about 9. Voting in the first elections held in this country in eight years, a tremend- ous popular outpouring showed large Republican majorities in the councils of almost every city and town of any size, and in many of the smaller places. King Alfonso’s home ward, that con- taining the royal palace at Madrid, even went against him, an alderman repre- senting the Republican movement being elected. Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Granada, all turned in large Repubilcan majorities. Answer Due From Monarch. The returns gave Alfonso, who was | born a King and since has been victor | over military rebels and political enemies alike who have assailed his throne, the | task of answering what everywhere was | considered a popular repudiation of his e. Premier Admiral Juan Bautista Aznar, who helped pull the monarchy from the crisis which followed the downfall of “The government did not expect the majority gained by the Republicans. Bui the government has not lost its serenity and will continue at its post. All will be worked out. I shall call the council of ministers together and see what is to be done.” Melquiades Alvarez, who has been one of those demanding that Alfonso “take a vacation from the throne,” while a constituent cortes, or Constitutional Convention decided whether Spain was to continue a monarchy or republic, said: “The triumph of the left is a logical consequence of the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. The King should go. But the King will know his road.” Grave Times for Spain. The Conde de Romanones, richest man in Spain and minister of state in the present cabinet, said: here are grave times for Spam* ahead and this Republican victory is of the greatest importance. I shall confer with the King and tell him| frankly that the situation is serious.” | The provinces which appeared today to have gone definitely Republican were Huelva, Orense, Oviedo, Valladolid, Leon, Badajoz, Barcslona, Tarragena, Lerida, Granada, Malaga, Cordoba, Corun!Coruna, Pontevedra, Ciudad Real, Zaragcza, ‘Teruel, Sevilla, Valencia, Santander, San Sebastian, Toledo, Zamora and Jaen. The elections were held almost with- out disorder. Two army lieutenants and a civilian were wounded in a riot | at Lerjda. There was some fighting in | Madri¢, but generally the country was| peaceful. 91,630 to 38,903 in Madrid. In Madrid there were 91,630 votes cast for the candidates of the Republi- | can groups, and 33904 for those of the Monarchist parties. In Valencia the vote was 38,903 for the Republicans and 18,540 for the Monarchists, who gained 28 aldermanic seats against 32 for the Republicans. The City of Zamora returned 15 Re- | publican aldermen and seven Monarch- ists, but the province as & whole was Monarchist. Granada return:d 35 Re- publicans and 11 Monarchists, but the remainder of the province went Mon- archist. Other returns were Perrol, 26 Re- publicans, 7 Monarchis!

Aznar Scouts Dictatorship. Premier Aznar denied this afternoon that a dictatorship was probable. “No one is thinking of such a thing,” he said. The premier said he had in- formed the King of the results of the elections and that in his opinicn the results indicated “a complete disaster.” Don Niceto Alcala Zamora, Republic- an leader, who recently was court- martialed for his connection with the revolution of last December, declared today that he was “overjoyous.” “I am proud of being a Spaniard after | this,” he said. “It is a matter of great pride to me to see how the citizenry has shown its civic courage and its| political* wisdom. The government should now resign and save the coun- try more worry and struggle. It would be the best way to show that it wants peace and order. Even if a new cabinet is fcrmed, it will not now save the monarchy from impe disaster, since the people, in a solemn referen- dum, showed they are against mon- archial rule.” Sources very close to the government said the cabinet, at a meeting late this afternoon, would decide whether to an- nounce its resignation immediately or postpone it pending a further study of | the possibilities. Rumors that the King might abdi- cate were persisting in many quarters. DECLARES KING MUST GO. Catalonian Separatist Leader Fears Bloody Dictatorship. BARCELONA, April 13 (#)—Col. Francisco Macia, Catalonian Separatist leader, in a speech to a crowd celebrat- ing the Republican victory in yesterday’s polls, declared that King Alfonso must go. “Otherwise,” he said, “he will be obliged to form a dictatorship which would be bloody. because the people would rise against it.” Col. Macia telegraphed Niceto Alcala Zamora, Republican’leader, hailing him as President of the provisional govern- ment of Spain. OFTEN ESCAPED ASSASSINS. Strikes and Insurrections Frequent in Reign of Spanish King. By the Associated Press. King Alfonso has escaped numerous attempts against his life, weathered widespread strikes and put down insur- rections of increasing vigor against the government since he ascended the throne in 1902. Because of the death of his father he became King at his birth, n 1887, but did not begin his rule until he was 16 years of age, Queen Maria Christina acting for him as regent in the meantime. The establishment of a dictatorship in 1923 under Gen. Primo ge Rivera ushered in a period of growing unrest against the monarchy, expressing iiself in the rising tide of Republicanism and culminating in demands from Repub- lican circles that the King should abdi- cate. Gen. De Rivera resigned in Jan- uary, 1930, because of {li health and ;::.)‘: of confidence on the part of the g. The appointment of Gen Damaso Berenguer as premier failed to allay the dissension, a general strike was de- clared throughout the nation. Civilians and police clashed in Madrid over a MUSIC AIDS DRIVE FOR GIRLS" SCHOOL 3 Total of $7,000 Reported After Entertainment at the Auditorium. An elaborate program of music fea- | tured a benefit entertainment for the National Training School for Women and Girls at Lincoln Heights northeast in the Washington Auditorium yester- day. With additional money raised yester- day, the total sought in a campaign to raise $15,000 for the school reached more than $7,000 it was reported today. The funds are to be used to make pay- ments on the trades hall at the schn* Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, presiden! of the school, explained. Dr. John R. Hawkins, treasurer of the drive, re- ported a sum of $6,000 in hand at yes- terday’s meeting. Representative Oscar DePriest of Tlli- nols, in an- address delivered after the musical , paid a ?lowlng tribute to the late Speaker Nicholas Longworth. R. B. Harrison, who attained fame in the Pulitizer prize play as “De Lawd,” addressed the meeting. The progra of music included selections by the fol- lowing: ise R.

FIRE DAMAGE IS $1,000 Two Canaries and Dog Suffocate in Fou..n Street Home. Fire originating from spontaneous combustion in the basement of the home of Clayton Baus, 6019 Fourth street, caused $1,000 damage and resulted in the suffocation of two canaries and a dog. An nd)‘)lmn.,1 home, owned by Arthur Hipsley, was slightly damaged. No one was at the Baus residence when the fire broke out. period of three weeks and many were killed and wounded. This was climaxed by the revolt of the garrison at Jaca in December. Capt. Ramon Franco, Spanish premier aviator, participated in @ republican movement soon after. gh Capt. Franco escaped into Portugal, Niceto Alcala Zamora, for- mer minister of war, and other leaders were court-martialed and sentenced to prison terms, but were pardoned. Meanwhile, Premier Berenguer had re- signed and Juan Bautista Aznar s lected to succeed him. He was greeted with student uprisings in Madrid and other cities, demanding the formation of a republic and the end of the mon- archy. In spite of these events, the govern- ment announced the municipal elec- tions would be held as scheduled—the first in elght years—and that its pro- gram aiming at a parliamentary elec- tion in June would proceed. Whether the June election, in view of yesterday's results, will be held remains to be seen. —comfort for your money — more cleanliness—more convenience—with Marlow’s Famous Reading Anthracite, at the LOW April prices.

A wet counter-attack was in prospect here today as delegates arrived for the opening tomorrow of the conference of the Women's Organizaticn for Na- tional Prohibition Reform, following the conclusion yesterday of the three-day session of the Woman's Natlonal Com- mittee for Law Enforcement and Law Observance, and the meeting today of the Natipnal Women's Democratic Law Enforcement League. Heading the wet group, Mrs. Charles H. Sabin of New York, naticnal chair- man, marked her arrival yesterday with the flat prediction that a dry presi- dential candidate, if opposed by a wet, would meet defeat in 1932. 1In this, she took direct issue with the drys, under the leadership of Mrs. Henry W. Peabody of Florida, who on Saturday had cheered a plea to bolt party ties in the next election if necessary to support a dry for the presidency. ‘Claims 300,000 Members. Mrs. Sabin, whose group is listed as representative of 300,000 women, di- rected her shafts at Mrs. Peabody, say- ing the name of her organization was a misnomer unless it was working for the enforcement of “all the obsolete blue laws” as well as prchibition. Referring further to the drys’ claims of strength, she said (hat “for Mrs. | Peabody and her associates to state | that they represent 12,000,000 women is ludicrous. This sort of thing, a few women speaking for thcusands of others for whom they have no right to speak, has been so overdone in this country that nobody takes it seriously.” ‘The conference, opening here tomor- row at the Mayfiower Hotel, is expected bring about 1000 delegates, repre- sentative of 32 States and the District of Columbia, pledged to work for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Last-minute _arrangements for the conference, which last two days, were being made today by Mrs. Sabin, assisted by other leaders, including Miss Maud Wetmore, Mrs. Coffin Van Rens- selaer and Mrs. Elward S. Moore of New York, who accompanied her to the Capital, and Mrs. Henry Leonard, chair- man of the local committee. The delegates will not go to the White House, as did the woran dry leaders, | Mrs. Sabin said, since President Hoover “repeatedly has said he opposed repeal of the eighteenth amendment.” The conference will be formally opened at 2 o'clock tomorrow alternoon by Miss Wetmore, at which time Mrs. Sabin will make her annual report and addresses will be made by Miss Bell Gurnee, chairman of the Washington division, and Mrs. August Belmont of New York City. Committees on legisla- tive and political activities, platforn |and resolutions, ways and means, con- stitution and by-laws will be appointed and go into executive session imme- diately. Banquet Tomorrow Night, ‘The representatives will be enter- | talned at a banquet tomorrow night at the hotel, to be followed immediately by the second session, beginning 8:30, when the fublic is invited to hear a discussion of prohibition from the economic, social and civic viewpoints. Mrs. Sabin will preside, and the speakers will be Matthew Woll, vice president of the American Federation of Labor; Dr. Esther Richards of Johns-Hopkins Uni. versity, nationally known psychiatrist, and Maurice S.
