SPANISH SENATE CONTROLLED BY KING ALFONSO Republicans Cannot Hope To Gain Effective Foothold By. William H. Lander United I’i'rsH Staff CorreHpondent Madrid, Feb. IX l UP) Republican* can never hope to get control of the Spanish Parliament, no matter how sincere the scheduled March elections are, because of the fact that only half the Senate Is elective. • The best the Republicans tan theoretically achieve Is to get control of the Chamber of Deputies but to ire* a majority in the Senat > is hopeless even if all radical factions participated. The Spanish Senators are o< three cbuses — those who hold seau in t leir own right, such as the King's sons who are of age. Grandees of Spain who have a certain income. Captains-Generals of the Army and Navy, the Archbishops, and the Presidents of 4he various high courts; those who hold a lite appointment from 'he King: and elective senators. Strict Qualifications But even of the elective Senators, many are chosen by corporative bodies and learned societies, and those elected at large are chosen by "Senatorial electors.” whose qualifications for the vote are much stricter than those of electors for deputies. The hold which King Alfonso XIII will have on the next Senate can easily’ be seen by recalling that he has 7t*-odd vacancies of life senators to fill on account of deaths which have occurred since the Senate was dissolved on September 15, 1923, following the coup d'etat of Primo de Rivera. Among those prominent in Spanish public life who aare assured of a seat in the Senate —jrovided Parliament meets—are: The Prince of Asturias, who last May 10 (1930) became of age and automatically became a Senator. Duke of Alba The Duke of Alba, 14 times a Grandee of Spain, and who has a very big income, is another Senator in his own right. He is at present Spain's Minister of State. Others who are in the public eye, and who hold life tenures, by appointment of the Crown are: General Damaso Berenguer Count of Xauen. the present Premier. Before Berenguer could be court-mart tailed for the disaster in Morocco the Senate had to waive his Senatorial immunity. Ex-Minister Francisco Bergamin, and Ex-Minister Burgesv Mazo, former Conservatives, and who now belong to the Constitutionalist Bloc. The Duke of Maura, a Maurista, one of the main apologists for the Crown. The Maquis of Valdeiglesias, owner of La Epoca, Madrid's oldest newspaper. Don Joaquin Sanchez de Toca, an ex-Premier in a Conservative government, now an independent. The Marquis of Alhucemas. leader of the Liberal-Democrats. Don Joaquin Ruiz Jimenez, Liberal,.friend of Count Romanones. Don Jose Roigy Bergada. a Catalan, and follower of Santiago Alba. w ——O ' ■ LOUIS WOLHEIM DIES SUDDENLY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) and. shortly afterward he became seriously ill. He was taken to the hospital and an operation followed. Wolheim's varied career began with a teaching position at Cornell University after he was graduated from that institution. He was a teacher of mathematics. He had been a member of the football team at Cornell and at one time was a professional wrestler. Eionel Barrymore persuaded him to -play a part in “The Jest," and his success turned him from an hcademie life to the field of drama. Such successes on the stags as "The Hairy Ape,” and “What Price Glory” followed and in 1926 he en tered motion pictures. Since then he has starred regularly in feature pictures. Last year he won high film honors in the role of the Sergeant Major in

■ "All Quiet op the Western Front." ■ i Wolhelm was born lit New York ■ In 1885 and received his early editI cution in tlie public scliools there. Wolheim’s success on the stage and screen was largely attributed Ito his homely face, featured by a I nose which had been flattened In I athletics and physical combats. "I first hurt any nose In football," I the actor told friends. "After that » I ‘guess one or two fights Ueljmd matters along until 1 could pass ; unywhere us one of the homeliest ( men in the world.” LOANED BLOOD ■( KEEPS HIM ALIVE Bluefield, Va„ Fb. ” ‘ (U.P) 1 — i The case of Joseph B. Lawrence, ■ Bluefield, sufferer from pernicious anemia, is attracting nation-wide * attention. Lawrence appears a perfectly normal man, but not a drop of blood in his body is his own. Every 1 bit was contributed by 20 other per- ' sons, and he has undergone 51 blood transfusions since Dec. 17, , 1929. His system refuses to manufacture its own blood. Lawrence, who before becoming . ill, weighed 210 pounds, now weights 160, a gain of 44 pounds from December, 1929, when he weighed only 116. He looks well and drives his own automobile, but , he cannot work and ever so often has to have more blood furnished to him. In little more than a year he has gone through 54 operations. ’ counting the transfusions as operations, has had more than 50 Xray examinations and has been examined by a score of doctors. He is 31. six feet tall and one of a family of seven children. _____ o arrivals Mr. and Mrs. A. T. King of Van Wert. Ohio, are thei parents of a girl baby, born February 14. 1931. The baby has been named Patty Sue. This is the second child in the family and the first girl. Mr. and Mrs. King were former residents of this city, and Mrs. King was formerly Miss Iva Ray.

Hurley was inspecting the traffic lights in City Square when he noticed that the chef in a nearby one-arm lunch room watched the blinkers at frequent intervals. Curious. Hurley entered the restaurant and asked the chef if he saw anything wrong with the lights. "No," the chef replied. “I’m merely timing my eggs by them. Two complete changes from red to red and your egg's soft boiled.' three and it's medium, four and it’s hard-boiled." o — United Staten Volcanoes There are very few active volcanoes in tlie United States at ttie present time, but a number have become extinct within times geographically recent.

This is the migration' l lof butterflies. Austin H ("ark of the U. S.
