CRISIS MAY END IN ABDICATION OF SPAIN'S KING Premier de Rivera’s Regime Faced With Threat of Early Decline. Important, but complicated, event* are taking place In Spain, an the culmination of more than *l* year* of dictatorship under Premier Primo de Rivera the “Spanish Mussolini." How tbe arose and what thev are expected to lead to are dealt with hr John de fiandt. Chief of the Madrid bureau or the l nited Pres*. BY JOHN DE GANDT United Pres* Staff Correspondent MADRID. Jan. B.—After holding the reins of government as dictator of Spain for six years and four months. Premier Primo de Rivera Is faced with a political crisis which it Is believed presages the early decline of his regime and which may lead, among other things, to the abdication of King Alfonso. Two of the main difficulties under the old regime, overthrown in 1923, were first, a costly war in Morocco against the Moors, who had rebelled against Implantation of a Spanish protectorate; secondly, social disorders in many parts of Spain, reaching a climax in the Barcelona region where workers were assassinated, banks raided and bombs thrown by anarchists almost daily. Stepped to Fore Primo de Rivera, captain-general of the Barcelona region, surveying this situation, decided to take matters into his own hands. He issued a pronouncement Sept. 13, 1923, equivalent to the proclamation of a military dictatorship. Two days later the king, who always has declared he knew nothing of De Rivera’s plans, swore him in as president of a military directory. De Rivera’s iron hand quickly stopped the domestic troubles, but It was not until two years later that the Morocco campaign succeeded and the Riff leader, Abd el Krim, was defeated. Returning from Morocco, De Rivera strove for the political regeneration of the country. In December, 1925, King Alfonso agreed to change the military dictatorship to a civil one. Affairs Turn Worse Affairs turned somewhat to the worse, however, and the dictator learned he no longer could count on the support of a certain section of the army. Acting quickly, however, in characteristic fashion, De Rivera alw r ays was able to upset counterplots. The acquittal of Sanchez Querra by a court-martial, despite the fact he had admitted himself guilty of training a revolt against the government, was a direct hint that De Rivera should go. Yet, after lengthy cabinet meetings and several talks with King Alfonso, the dictator announced a few days ago he w T ould continue in power another half year, or until next June.

'HOOVERS LEAD WASHINGTON IN SOCIETY^ WHIRL Brilliant Series of Dinners and Receptions Opens Thursday. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. B.—President and Mrs. Hoover are leading Washington official society in one of the most brilliant social seasons it has enjoyed in years, A long series of dinners and evening receptions at the White House will start tomorrow night when the chief executive is host to the juciciary. Thereafter, some event is scheduled on Hoover’s social calender for nearly every Thursday evening until late in March. The judicial reception comes at a time when the highest ranking honor guest, Chief Justice Taft, is resting in the hospital. He went there after a recurrence of bladder trouble with which he suffered some years ago. Associate justices of the supreme court and justices from the benches of several District of Columbia courts are expected to attend the function. First Lady 111 The opening of the social season found Mrs. Hoover confined to the White House with a prolonged but not serious cold. Dr. Joel T. Boone, White House physician, has prescribed quiet and rest and advised Mrs. Hoover not to leave the White House even to attend two outside functions with her husband last night. Hoover was the guest of honor at a dinner given by Vice-President Curtis and Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, his sister and official hostess, in their Mayflower hotel apartment. Later, he attended a reception in his honor at the Congressional Club. The White House social calendar tills year is perhaps the longest in many years. Whereas former Presidents have scheduled only four receptions, save for the public one on New Year's day, Hoover planned for eight. One, the diplomatic reception, was to have been held in December. It was canceled because of Secretary of War Good’s death. New Functions Added Hitherto, receptions were held for the diplomatic corps, congress, army and navy and judiciary, while the cabinet always was honored at a dinner. To these functions the present chief executive has added receptions for the treasury and postoffice, interior and agriculture and commerce and labor departments, in groups of two. He will receive the senate and house members separately. White House dinners have been scheduled for the chief justice and the supreme court, the Speaker of the house, the diplomatic corps and the Vice-President. The cabinet dinner, canceled because of Good’s death, likely will be added to the calendar. MORE BRITISH AT WORK Bv United Press LONDON, Jan.

EIGHT AMERICAN MARTYRS MAY BE CANONIZED Continent May Have Saints in Catholic Church for First Time. Bv United Press NEW YORK, Jan B.—Dispatches from Vatican City saying that eight North American martyrs may be canonized before the end of the holy year, indicate that for the first time this continent will have saints in the Roman Catholic church. The only resident of the new world to be canonized was Saint Rose of Lima, Peru, who entered sainthood in 1667, after a life of self-inflicted martyrdom. The eight men to be canonized all were born in France and all were killed by Indians, either in the upper part of what now Is New York state, or in Canada. The Rev. John J. Wynne, S. J„ editor of the New Catholic dictionary, who had a prominent part in the beatification of the eight men in 1925, explained today the lives and work of the eight men. The eight marytrs are: Captured by Iroquois Issac Jogues, born in Orleans. France. He w r as a missionary among the Hurons in Canada at the age of 29. “Father Jogues was captured by * the Iroquois,” said Father Wynne, “along with Rene Goupil, a young surgeon, and one of the eight martyrs.” On Oct. 18. 1646, Jogues was killed by the Iroquois after he had escaped, gone to France and returned to do missionary work. Goupil was tomahawked on Sept. 29, 1642, for teaching an Indian child the sign of the cross, John Lalande, the third martyi, was a companion of Jogues. He was killed for loyalty to the missionary. Anthony Daniel founded a mission at St. Joseph, Canada. He was killed by the Iroquois during an attack on the mission and his body was thrown in the fire that destroyed his church on July 4, 1648. Considered Outstanding John De Brebeuf is considered to be the outstanding North American martyr. He was captured by the Iroquois on March 16, 1649. He was tortured to death. Gabriel Talemant, a companion of Brebeuf, died a similar death the next day. Charles Garnier was killed on Dec. 7, 1649, when the Iroquois attacked the village of St. John, the evangelist. Noel Chabanel, the eighth martyr, was killed by an apostate Huron Indian on Dec. 8, 1649, while on the way from St. John to the island of St. Joseph. Judge, 23, Begins Duties BiV Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Jan. B. Charles, Eichel, 23, Evansville’s new city court judge, and believed one of the youngest men ever to hold such a position, fined three young men S2O each on intoxication charges as his first official act.
