KING OF GREECE DEAD FROM MONKEY'S BITE Alexander Succumbs to Hurt* Inflicted by Pet Early, ia October.? Succeeded to Throne When Father Abdicated Un^ der Pressure of Allies in 1917 ' Athens, Oct. 26 (By the Associated Press.)?King Alexander of Greece died at 5:20 p. m. yesterday. His tttop Hna fa wnnWHs received ( WC.WU ? ? when a pet monkey attacked him early in October, the king beihg badly mutilated. t * > . \ Throughout last night the heart : \ > action grew weaker, his general debility became more pronounced and . , pulmonary symptoms were intense. Breathing at times w&3 most difficult and alarming and at noon today | it was said that the kings condition was hopeless. Alexander succeeded to the throne f Greece in June, 1917, when His father, King Constantine, abdicated \?i ' i in response to the demand of France, f | Great Britain and Russia, the three ? ' >'j ' t powers which had guaranteed the . constitutional liberties of the Greek -people. Alexander was the second : son of Constantine and at the time ] ef his accession was not quite 24 ; years old. His elder brother, Crown Ptince George, was considered in- , m:- L eligible for the throne because of J; : - alleged pro-German sympathies. . ( In any event, King Constantine nominated Alexander to succeed him. ] u "X Tie fall of Constantine had been , brought about through the agency , J the French senator, M. Jonnart, : who went to Athens in June, 1917, as , ..... . r . ^ v- a representative of the three great v': '' -powers, on the ground that this step would establish unity of feeling V-,/,.'- among the Greeks and greater se1 eurity for the entente forces then op;> v'v crating in the East. Constantine had. - ) {'.j teen accused of pro-German sympa' v'-'- tty, partly on the account of his mar- ^ xaige to the Princess Sophie, sister of f 1 the then Emperor William, of Germany, and it was also charged that he ' had not acted honorably toward the 1 allies. Alexander, on the other hand, r. was reported to' be. free1 from pro- ^ German proclivities. ' %v';:Constantine left Athens and took 1 kr v . , . up his residence in Switzerland. \. Alexander took .the oath of office 1 - . at Athens in August, 1917, and prom- 1 ised to carry out ?he policy of his ( father. This is said to hare shocked ^ tfce entente powers. It was soon re- ' forted that he was at odds with the I Fremier Venizelos and had refused ( to abandon liis Idea of continuing his 1 father's program. Some doubts were h : < -r- -- iied as to the advisiability of per- 1 mittinghim to assume thethrone un- ( ton he discontinued what was charac- J fcpized as an obstructive policy. f i Reports of lack of harmony be- * tween Alexander and VeAizelos were ( circulated in the Spring: of 1920, but * tke premier disposed of these in a ( , statement in which, he paid tribute to 1 the king's patriotism.

The first was caused by the truck back firing. When the driver saw that the truck was likely to catch from the blaze he jumped but was painfully burned on the left arm before he got his clothing extinguished. His trousers also caught. The fire spread very rapidly, catching the gasoline/ on the outside of the tank. Soon the tank got so hot that it exploded, and tKe gasoline poured over the chassis and the ground and the flames went up for hundred feet or more. The truck.was entirely consumed. i HANGS UP RECORD FOR I'JNOTYPE* COMPOSITION Salt Lake City, Oct. 26:?Walder Hewitt, linotype operator on the Tribune, on Stfnday night i established what is said to be the world's record for linotype composition, setting.

It was announced that the rreek constitution did not grant him jermission to enter upon the morganatic marriage, and that action by he Greek parliament would be necessary to determine whether Mile, tfanos could become queen of Greece >r remain the king's official consort. Uexander's refusal to give up his rife was said to have greatly worried 7enizelos and there were reports that he king would not return to Greece. le did so, however, and witnessed the Sreek operations in Thrace in the ummer of 1920, entering Adrianoplp, vhich had been surrendered to the rreek troops, amid a great demonstraion. The death of Kink Alexander gives ise to the question of succession to he Greek throne. Former .King Conitantine was reported, according , to >wiss dispatches of October 17, as inending to take advantage of the situition created by his son's grave illless by returning to Greece and :laiming the throne. \ About the same time a regency was uggested, and Constantine gave his pinion of this as follows: "Sufficient unto the day is the evil hereof. I will not think of a rejency yet. My plans are those of my >eople." j ' Premier Venizelos on Sunday last sxpressed himself as confident that Prince Paul, Constantine's third son, vpuld be prevented from taking the hrone by his father, as the latter ?ould learn from the coming elections ;hat there was no prospect for his re;urn. ' Both Prince Arthur of Connaught ind Prince Charles of Belgium, have >een mentioned as possible candidates :or the Greek throne but Premier Venizelos has said that foreign candiiates were not being considered. It is probable that the old chamber rill be reconvened owing to the king's leath to consider what steps are to )e taken before the new chamber neets. COAL OPERATORS Ct N TALK OF PRICES Hundred* Are Gathering. in Cleveland?Thousands May Go. /' st< Cleveland, Oct. 26.?Hundreds of wl I kifnminnlis /?r?o1 ftTWJfatrtM frnm VTA. .!4 rious producing fields throughout the ^ country reached Cleveland tonight ^ for a general meeting here tomorrow at which a communication from Attorney General General Palmer, urg- go ing action toward a lowering of ex- = cessive prices for soft coal will be ^ taken up; The meeting which has been called jij by Col. D. B. Wentz of Philadelphia, 1 president of the National Coal asso- |] ciation, is expected to be of the s most important in the history of the s industry. Judging from arrivals to- s night it is anticipated that upwards gj of a thousand of the 7,000 soft coal ij producers of the country who have ij been invited to attend will partiCi- |j nate in tomorrow's meeting, and it is H j assured that the attorney , general j| communication will be the basis for j| whole soft coal discussion oi the ? whole soft coal situation as it,affects ffi prices. ' . a iGolonel Wentz called the general ij meeting at the request of Attorney ro General Palmer so that the attor- ffj' ney general's proposal might be put |j before all of the representative soft & coal operators. 1 j| 1" It was explained that the National j|r ! Coal association, whose membership s embraces 2,50,0 operators, with more S than three-fourths of the ffegr$gatei, g nrrffc #?oal onf.nnf?'n?Vnf?}l will VAnr f3 reach nearly 550,000,000 tons, can g not because of the nature of its chi^r- a ter, take any action relating to price 3 fixing. Because of thig, CoL Wentz- | decided to put ihe matter before the | general body of coal'operators, but | as' individuals representing the vari- | ous fields. ( |< While it is not thought that ; the operators at tomorrow's meeting will i| attempt to fix any maximum price ji for soft coal,, it is understood: that a Cleveland tonight might support a | resolution favoring "f&ir and re a- S sonable' prices and only 'k reasonable g profit to ,the operators. fi CAROLINA BOYS \ | GET^PRIZE MONEY | Clemson Studwti Take Lmi IrLiri 8 Stock Judging ConteAU. | " I Clemson College, Oct. 26.?Team3 B ?1 11 LHA kiLu S rcjircoeuuiig VIUUAVU vvxtvpv iwvv m done unusually well in the recent g stock judging contests in competi- ? tion with, teams from other institn- | tions.
