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. Que respect *

was burned Saturday between,
this point and Pelzer. The, truck
belonged to the Gulf Refining company
and only a small amount of
insurance was carried. 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.

Way. 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.

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
