POLITICAL CRIME

New York, Dec. 29, Dr. Jon Duca, the Prime Minister Rumania, has been assassinated, according to a telegram from Bucharest.'

It is presumed that the outrage was political- ly plotted and the outcome of the recent elec tions in which the Liberal Party, of which Dr. Duca was the head, gained a complete majority over all other parties.

Dr. Duca made many enemies by his political manoeuvrings following the return to Rumania of King Carol.

VEILED ROYAL DICTATORSHIP

The King's return was bitterly opposed by the Liberal Party. which pronounced it to be a breach of the constitution.
