STORY FROM TOURIST
Says Monarch Wounded in
Shoulder, Relative Was
Murdered, Chauffeur
Injured in Plot.
(Aonclatrd Tnm Loaed Win )
NEW YORK. Aug. 21. The cen
sorship in Spain, which has been
imposed upon f eature stories, lo
cal, foreign and national news and
headlines, apparently prevented for
the moment the determination of
the truth or falsity of a circum
stantial story related by a traveler
arriving at Hendaye, France, from
Santander, Spain, of an attempt to
assassinate King Alfonso at Sant
ander last Saturday night.
Recently there have been other
reports of plots against the life ot
the Spanish monarch and an offi
cial statement Issued In Madrid on
June 10, admitted one plot. This
was the finding of a bomb on the
railway track between Saragosa
and Barcelona over which Alfonso
was- to pass. The explosive was
discovered before the king's train
arrived. Several persons were ar
rested and were said to have con
fessed participation In the plot.
The story of the traveler at Hen
daye was to the effect that a tall,
well dressed man put his hand In
his pocket as the royal auto In
which the king was approaching
neard him. A suspicious move
ment in changing his dark eye
glasses to clear glasses was no
ticed by the secret service men.
who took him into custody. Tt was
asserted in Barcelona, according to
the traveler, that the king had
been wounded in the sohu'der. that
the Duke Of Miranda had been kill
ed and the king's chauffeur wound
ed. He added that there was no
attempt to hide the' fart that there
was a plot against Alfonso In sev
eral cities participated In by for
eigners and that the police were
taking extraordinary - precautions
to protect the monarch.

NEW YORK, Aug.. 21. John
D. Miller, president of the Na
tional Co-operative Milk Produc.
era Federation, aaid today, a con
gressional investigation .may be
asked to determine the causes for
the removal from offce of Dr.
Henry C. Taylor, chief of the bu
reau of agricultural economics.
Dr. Taylor resigned at the re
quest of Secretary of Agriculture
Jardine.
"We view this action with grave
concern." Bald Mr. Miller, on be
half of his organization, represent
ing between 340.000 and 350,000
milk producers.
"Last winter there were two co
operative marketing hills pending
in congress. One was known aa
the commission bill, being support
ed by the chairman of the presi
dent's agricultural commission.
The other was known as the Dick
inson bill. r
"The commission bill was op
posed by substantially all ot the
co-operative marketing associa
tions of the country. The Dickin
son bill was supported by many co
operative associations.
"The struggle In congress was
strenuous. Attaches of the de
partment of commerce were known
to openly favor the commission
bill. Attaches of the department
of agriculture, Including Dr. Tay
lor, were known to believe that It
any legislation on the subject was
to be had, the Dickinson bill was
for the best.
We will make an Investigation
to ascertain the facta In the case
land if It be found that public aer
jvants who supported the commls
jsion bill are continued In office and
, that Dr. Taylor has been removed
; because he favored the Dickinson
bill, then It may be well that co
! operative associations will request
a congressional Investigation of
the entire matter."
Dr. Taylor quit the department
where he hsa served since 1919
only after Secretary Jardine, with
whose policies he does not agree,
had requested him to do so. Some
lime ago the secretary Indicated
that a resienatlon would be accept
able, but Dr. Taylor declined to fol
low the hint. Instead he consu'ted
a lawyer as to the legal right of a
secretary who had been in the de
partment but a comparatively
short time to force him out ot of
fice. The controversy came lo a clim
ax when Secretary Jardine, from a
sick bed sent word that the resig
nation must be submitted at once.
The change about completes Mr.
Janllne's reorganisation of the de
partment, a though a few minor
I officials, particularly in the bureau
jof agricultural economics, still are
expected to go.
Dr. Taylor came lo the depart
ment on April 1, 1919. During the
; administration of the late Secre
tary Wallace he became chief of
'the bureau of agricultural econo
! mica. Before coming to the de
partment he was an instructor in
the University of Wisconsin.

said in a statement last night-
The prediction was made Just

the proposed fight from San Fran

since the World war. "It is even
more Important than the round-the-world

ing the flight to Hawaii we have
definite things In view for the
naval air service," he said. "If
the planes fall this time, another
attempt will follow very soon."
Regarding dirigibles, Mnffett
said, unless the secretary of war
has "changed his plans since I
left Washington one dirigible will
certainly make the trip to Hono

Evangelist Victimized by
Janitor Who Has High
Revel With Women
For 1 6 Days.
MIAMI, Fla.. Aug. 20. Dr. E. J.
Dulgln, nationally known Presby
terian missionary of Portland. Or.
Is on the war path. And well he
might be for on Norman C. Lynch,
who claims to be tne son of an ex
governor of Rhode Island. Interna
tional traveler and writer, has
snent 16 days In bacchanalian rev
elries with wine, woman and song,
aboard the evangelist's yacht un
der false pretenses.
Norman, with all the appearance
of the scion of a family of wealth,
and with a line ot chatter that
would have made Barnum blush,
handed the son of the missionary a
check for $2(1.000 as consideration
for the yacht, according to the tale
told Tuesday by the evangelist.
"I am the son of ex-Governor
Lynch of Rhode Island," the alleged
24-vear-old Impostor Is said to have
told young William Dulgln, son of
the missionary, aa he handed over
the check. "TJiore are mllllona
ninre where this Is coming from."
William notified his father of the
sale of the yacht. And Dr. Dulgln
was pleased. For what was a mis
sionary to do with a yacht that cost
more than S200 per day for running
expenses? The missionary had pur
chased the yacht In hones of ob
taining a sanetuarv of silence from
Florida's hustle, when In fit. Peters
burg. Dut. because of (he expense
he was glad to sell It. Lynch, who
was Janitor in the William Penn
hotel at the lime of the-purchase,
moved his luggage aboard the
yacht Immediately from the Miami
beach caravansary. He made Ihe
nurrhase without a dime. And. while
the Dev. Mr. Dulgln spoke of heroes
In homespun during a lecture tour
of the Shenandoah valley tinkle or
cocktails, abandoned laughter of
women and risque songs broke the
sqmi-sllllness of the tropical aea
beneath the silvering stars.
Dr. Dulgln returned to Miami
Tuesday and vowed that he would
prosecute Lynch to the limit, ac
cording to Captain C. A. Huron of
the yacht. The would-be governor's
son worked as a Janitor at a Miami
newspaper during the time he waa
suoimsed to be owner of the boat In
order to obtain spending money.
Citizens of Miami agree that Ihe
evangelist has - n right to feel
aggrieved, first because of Ihe un
holy proceedings on an ark of
prayer, and, secondly, becsuse the
revelry must have cost Ihe doctor a
pretty penny.
