Third Victim ' Succumb
, By Tka Aaaa rfataa rraea.
'London. Oct. 25. Terence Mac
Swiney, lord mayor of Cork, died at
Brixton prison, this city, at 5:40
o'clock this morning. - '
His death occurred on the 74th
day of a hunger strike that eclipsed
any in the annals of the medical
world. , .
'MacSwiney, who had been uncon
scious 36 hours, did not recover his
faculties .'before he died. Father
Ucminic, his private chaplain, and
nis oroinerk jonn Macswmey, were
v ith him when the end came.
. Wife Not Present.
John MacSwiney and the. chaplain,
who had been waiting downstairs in
the prison, were told by prison offi
cials at 4:35 o'clock that they should
go to the mayor's bedside, as they
thought death was approaching. The
brother asked for the privilege of
communicating with other relatives
ho were not present, but the offi
cials, it is said, refused him the use
of a telephone.
After the prisoner's death his
brother and the chaplain were not
permitted to leave Brixton prison
until 6:15 o'clock. John MacSwiney
immediately conveyed word to the
widow of the lord mayor, who was
staying at a West End hotel with
Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien, the former
being the London executive of the
Irish Self-determination league.
Mrs. MacSwiney, accompanied by
her parents, and the Misses Annie

Athens, Oct 25. King Alexander j
cf Greece; died at 5:20 this evening. :
His death was due to wounds re- j
crived when a pet monkey attacked
him early in October, the king be
ine badlv mutilated.
Throughout last night the heart J
action giew weaker, his general de-j
bility became more pronounced and
pulmonary symptoms were intense.
Breathing at times was most difficult
rnd alarming, and at noon today it
was announced. the king's condition
Ruled Three eYars.
Alexander succeeded to the throne
of Greece in June, 1917, when his
father, King Constantine, abdicated
in response to the demand of France,
Great Britian and Russia, the three
powers which had guaranteed the
constitutional liberties of the Greek
people. Alexander was the second
son of Constantine and at the time
of. his accession was not quite 24
years old. His elder brother, Crown,
Prince George, was considerede in
eligible for the throne because of his
alleged pro-German sympathies.
In any event, King Constantine
nominated Alexander to succeed him.
The fall of Constantine had been
brought about through the agency of
the French senator, M. Jonnart, who
went to Athens in June, 1917, as a
representative of (the three great
powers, on the ground that this step
would establish unity of feeling
among the Greeks and greater secur
ity for the entente forces then oper
ating in the east Constantine had
been accused of . pro-German sym
pathies partly on account of his
marriage to the Princess Sophie,
sister of the then Emperor William
of Germany, and it also was charged
that he had not acted honestly to
ward the aliles. Alexander, on the
other hand, was reported to be free
from pro-German proclivities.
Canstantine left Athens and took
up his residence in Switzerland.
, Lack of Harmony. .,. -Alexander
took the oath of of
fice at Athens in August, 1917, and
promised. to carry out the policy of
his father.. This was said to have
shocked the entente powers It soon
was reported that he was at odds
with Premier Venizelos and had re
fused to abandon his idea ot con
tinuing his father's program. Some
doubts were raised as to the advis
ability of permitting him to assume
the throne unless he discountinued
what was characterized as an ob
structive policy.
Reports of lack of harmony be
tween Alexander and Venizelos
were circulated in the spring of
1920, but the premier disposed of
j these in a statement in which he
! paid tribute to the king's patriotism,
i One respect in which the king and
his premier were said to have been
at odds was over the king's inor
ganic marriage to. Mile. Manos,
daughter of a former aide-de-camp
to his father, which is said to have
taken place in November, 1919. No
record of the marriage was obtain
able owing to the fact that it was
not recorded with the metropolitan
of Athens, the supreme eccleciastic
authority of Greece.
Morganatic Marriage.
-The young king and his morgan
atic wife were childhood friends and
sweethearts. Alexander asserted
that he had a right to marry whom
ever he pleased and took his bride
to the palaqe , in Athens. This
aroused a storm of ' discussion
which so displeased his wife that
in the early part of 1920 she went
with her mother and sister to live
in Paris, and Alexander visited her
there in the following May. It was
announced that the Greek "constitu
tion did not grant him permission
to enter upon the morganatic mar
riage and that action by the ureek
parliament, would be necessary to
determine whether Mile. Manos
could become queen of Greece or re
main the king's official consort
Alexander's refusal to give up his
wife was said to have greatly wor
ried Venizelos and there were re
ports that the king would not re
turn to Greece. He did so, however,
and witnessed Greek operations in
Thrace in the summer of 1920, en
tering Adrianople, which had been
surrendered to the Greek troops,
amid a great demonstration.
On October 3 he was bitten by a
monkey while endeavoring to pro
tect his dog from an attack. His,
wound became infected and several
operations for the removal of flesh
were performed. His condition for
several days was reported to be
critical.

by the death of Lord Mayor Mac

in Brixton " prison, London, this
morning, is mingled with the grief
in which his death has plunged South
Ireland. .Although the people ap

bitterness, it is regarded as extreme
lv improbable that there will be any
outbreaks or disorderly demonstra

It is expected, however, there will
be a considerable extension and in-

are doubling their vigilance, espe

Stunt Aviator to
Appear in Court
Birdman Charged With Dis
turbing Peace in Flight
First Case on Record.
William C. Brooks, Blair, Neb.,
the aviator who executed a series
of "contour chasing" stunts just
over and under the tops of down
town buildings Saturday morning,
will appear in police court . this
morning "to answer charges of dis
turbing the peace, littering the
streets with paper and distributing
advertising matter without a license.
Charles E. Foster and C. E. Walsh,
prosecuting attorneys, will represent
the state.
This is the initial case of its kind
to be .tried in the United States.
There is no law, so far5 as known,
that controls the situation and it is
expected that Brooks will be ac
quitted. The only law that applies
in any way is that which defines the
control of motor vehicles.
If the state is able to prove that
airplanes are characterized as motor
vehicles, the aviator no doubt will
be indicted. However, a vehicle is
defined as a conveyance moving on
wheels, and an airplane can hardly
be classed under that head. The case
will be tried at 9 this morning.

Br Tha AftaocUttrd frm
Washington, Oct 25. Senate;
Harding in a kre-election state
ment to the American people made
public here tonight, declared the re
publican party "goes to the peoph
assured that they will recognize it
superiority as an instrumentality o
admtnistration and that in the elec
tion now impending, they will givt
it' the certificate of their confidence
and trust" '
The republican party nominee
criticised democratic administration
of governmental affairs, ; declaring
"the nation is determined to be done
with democracy under the mere guise
of democratic forms." The republican
party, he asserted, "has proposed in
its platform and developed in the
utterances of its leaders, a program
which contemplates equal opportun
ity for all," and "recognizes the vices
of exploitation and profiteering."
Stand onLeague,
As to the league of nations issue.
Senator Harding summarized his
partv's position as follows:
"the republican party proposes
such an association of nations as will
most effectively further the aspira
tion for world-wide and permanent
peace without sacrificing any part of
the independence of the American
nation. It believes America can and
must bear its full part in the respon
sibilities of the world, but it always
believes that America alone must de
cide what that part shall be."
Senator Harding's statement fol
lows: "In asking the suffrage of th(
American electorate this year, the re
publican party has in mind both the
record of service from its beginning,
whereof it is very proud, and the
vision of opportunity for service in
the future which its spokesmen have
presented during this campaign. We
are asking that a great responsibility
be imposed upon us. It is a respon
sibility that must be measured br

"Domestic, economic and ad
ministrative policies had brought this
country to the danger of disaster
before the outhteak of the war in
Europe. The vast expansion of out

the war, saved US from immediate
precipitation of that disaster. But

ingbut a return to those construc

have always characterized the repub
lican administration can save us from

fronted us at the middle of 1914. "
"Fromvlhe beginning of the war in
Europe, the democratic administra

was apparent to most people that our
country was in imminent danger ol

People Denied Peace.
"Instead of settling itself to rem
edying these conditions, the admin

day of the armistice to promoting
a project of world reorganization in
which America should bear the larg
est responsibilities of guaranteeing
a new scheme of things. Instead of
making legal peace as soon as actual
peace had been won, the American
people alone of all warring nations,
were denied by their government, the
privilege of a return to the legal
status of peace and to the enjoyment
of those rights which they had tem
porarily surrendered under the cir
cumstances of war.
"So long as war was on, republi
