STUDENTS ARRESTED
BUST OF SPANISH KING DECAPITATED CHARGE OF LESE MAJESTE (United Service) LONDON, Sunday. The Bordeaux correspondent of the “Manchester Guardian” says there have been numerous fresh arrests of university students at, Madrid, following on the decapitation of a bronze bust of King Alfonso which stands in the university amphitheatre. The demonstrators painted the remainder of the bust blood red, and intended to make the head into a plaque for presentation to a comrade, Sberg, president of the Federation of Students, who is at present imprisoned, but later they flung the head into a water main. The police adopted extraordinary means of interrogation, which resulted in one of the arrested students inculpating many of his companions.
The Prime Minister, General Primo de Rivera, declares that it is his intention to bring the students before a court-martial on the charge of lese majeste.
