(Sources outside Spain said contro} over southern provinces had been gained by rebel forces, some of which had crossed into the peninsula from Spanish Morocco.) The government declared the rebel eolumns in Segovia Province had been scattered by a loyal air corps attack, which drove them back toward Mi- Tanda with numerous losses. In 2 victory announcement, a gov- ernment spokesman declared, “Span- ish citizens, the movement in insurrec- tion has been subjugated absolutely and it is necessary not to lose the fight. “Every one should return to normal | life.

Dak, July 20— The Black Hills probably won't go on the block, after all. 7 Three big chiefs of the Sioux In- dians chuckled today over the proposal of Thunder Bull, tribal councilor, that the famous area might be sold to Can- ada because the Federal Government allegedly broke a treaty with the Red- skins. And-even Thunder Bull, distant rela- tive of Sitting Bull, was reported to be hedging.

PRAHA, Czechoslovakia, July 20.— Former King Alfonso of Spain sud- denly departed today with a large amount of baggage for an unan- nounced destination. The deposed monarch had been liv- ing in a castle on the Czech-Hungarian border as a guest of Count Zamoyski. When he disappeared today he was accompanied by the count. All day yesterday he sat at a radio set trying to catch the broadcast from the rebel-operated station at Seville, A responsible source disclosed that the castle radio was tuned in on this station throughout the day. A friend said it was possible Alfonso was heading for Koenigswart, near Marienbad, Where another friend, Count Metternich, has a castle. An inquiry at Koenigswart, how- ever, brought the reply that no one was expected there. Speculation was aroused as to whether Alfonso might be heading for Spain.

Roads Guarded. A French tourist, returning from San Sebastian, sald workers, includ- ing many women, were guarding the roads. “Saturday night,” said this tourist, “we were awakened by shooting all around the city, which lasted more than 4 hours. “The rattle of machine guns could be plainly heard, but it was impossible to tell who was fighting. “Early Sunday morning scattered shots still were heard. A rumor spread that a Communist movement had just broken out in Asurias (an area in Northwest Spain, including Oviedo Province) and was spreading through- out Spain against the military move- ment of the southern rebels.” Despite the fact that the French- Spanish frontier was closed, & num- ber of refugees managed to reach border towns of France.

The drive will be con- ducted by his organization, & C. L.

He called the rayon industry, comparatively new in the textile field, one of the “most pros- perous industries in the country.” With the U. T. W. a member of the C.

Rhodes, local attorney, will be arraigned in Police Court August 3 | for the alleged larceny of $13.000 from the Pidelity Building and Loan Associ- ation, which he formerly headed as president. ‘The arraignment was continued to- day, Rhodes attorney, Willlam E. Leahy, explaining that he wanted to confer with Assistant U. S. Attorney Henry A. Schweinhaut before going into court. Schweinhaut preferred the charge against Rhodes. It was understood the case may be put before the grand jury in advance of the new arraignment date. Charge Based on Loan. The charge, it was explained, is based on a $13,000 loan from the association to Rhodes. According to officials, the loan made through a “straw” party, was made for construc- tion purposes, but Rhodes used the bulk of it to meet an overdraft on his account at the association. Declaring the Treasury Department had full knowledge of the details of the loan last December 31, Rhodes said today there was nothing irregular about the transaction. The property in question, located near Fairfax, Va., had been taken over by the association, he explained, and he had agreed to build houses on it. It was understood Rhodes will con~ tend the overdraft on his account re- sulted from these building operations and that the loan was made in this connection. “Straw” Party Explained. The “straw” party to whom the loan was made, according to Rhodes, was & relative. ‘The association’s semi-annual report to the Treasury under date of December 31, he declared, stated that the loan was made to “a party holding for Fred B. Rhodes.” “Certainly there was no secrecy or concealment about that,” he said. He also attacked the action of .the controller of the currency in closing the association, pointing out’ that he had permitted the payment of a divi- dend not more than 10 days ago. “If the company was able to pay that dividend,” he said, “I"don’t see how it can be insolvent now.” Officials of Association.

The Clevenger slaying was de- scribed by Brown as “the Titterton | case of the South,” referring to the fiendish murder of Nancy Titterton, writer and wife of a broadcasting company executive in New York.

I have eight deputies working on the case.” ‘The sheriff said he was looking for other witnesses to add to a number he said would contradict Wollner's alibi that he was at home throughout the night when the pretty 18-year-old New York University co-ed was shot to death in her hotel room around 1 am. last Thursday by an intruder who stabbed her in the face and at- tempted to ravish her.

A 19-year-old former waitress, Mil- dred Ward, at whose home the Ger- man-born violinist roomed, also was detained after she corroborated Woll- ner’s statement he had been at home between 9:30 p.m. Wednesday and 9:30 am.

EFFECTS ARE WATCHED FOR POSSIBLE CHANGE Keech Says Some Difficulty in Rush Period Was Expected. 130 Workmen at Scene. “The néw street car rerouting tied downtown Washington traffic in knots this morning in-its first rush-hour test, Street cars were lined up for blocks in_all directions as a result of con- gestion at and near Fourteenth street and New York avenue. By the time many of the cars reached that point, they were almost deserted ‘Their occupants had left them for faster travel afoot.

Keech, chairman of the Utilities Commis- sion, explained. “We expected some congestion at first, especially during the rush hour, but will have to watch the situation for a little while before we can decide what changes, if any, are necessary.” Part of the congestion, which the re- routing was designed to eliminate, was due to the presence of 150 workmen completing the construction project on Fourieenth street between New York avenue and H street, Keech ex- the confusion, and traffic lights, timed to the old traffic demands, have not been changed to handle the increased north and south traffic on Fourteenth street and east and west traffic on New York avenue. Unfamiliarity of the public with the new routes and the places to board cars in transferring in the downtown area was another cause given by street car officials. At some intersections traffic policemen had not become ac- customed to the new routes. Trafic Director William A. Van Duzer announced several changes would be made within a day or two in the timing of the lights, and a new light is being installed at Fifteenth and G streets to handle changed traffic demands at that spot. A three-way light will -be installed at Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue to permit through traffic east | and west and left turns to northbound vehicles on Fifteenth street at Penn- sylvania avenue, Van Duzer said. Increased Intervals. The intervals for north-south traffic | on Fourteenth street will be increased to accomodate the increased burden of street car movement, and other changes which a survey being made today may indicate are necessary will be made as conditions require, he stated. Officials of the street car company expressed satisfaction with the success of the overnight track change, which put the cars into operation over their new routes early yesterday morning. Removal of the old track and laying of the new was completed without a hitch by a crew of 358 men, and cars were running east and west on New York avenue at 5:09 a.m. yesterday, only five hours after work started. Cars were in operation north and south on Fourteenth street at 6:50 am., and at 7:50 the Mount Pleasant cars, which turn west at Fourteenth and H streets, also were in operation. The job was in charge of E. P. ‘Goucher, engineer of way for the com- pany. Begin in Wee Hours. Shortly after midnight, 11 crews with acetylene torches began cutting through the rails and the army of workmen were ready as soon as the last car passed through at 1 am. yesterday to start removal of the old rails and replace them with new rails and switches to accommodate the new route schedules. The two outside tracks on the 350- foot stretch will be abandoned, but will not be removed until later, Goucher said. The rerouting will speed up street car and automobile traffic at the intersection, one of the busiest in the city. JOE CRONIN’S MOTHER DIES IN CALIFORNIA Boston Manager at Bedside.
