Feared Anarchist Airman.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 10, 1913:
Paris Police Let Only Known Aviators Fly for King Alfonso.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    PARIS, May 9.— King Alfonso's visit to Buc to-day to witness the aviation evolutions presented a new problem to the Paris police. It was conceivable that danger might come near the King in the form of an anarchist flying over the royal stand.
    During the display, therefore, all the airmen in Paris, except those participating in the spectacle at Buc, were forbidden to make ascents.

    PARIS, May 9.—The political results of the visit of King Alfonso have not been disclosed, but the opinion is general in well-informed quarters that a close understanding between the French and Spanish Governments has been attained, and that this may develop into an alliance.
    Virtually the entire press of France, with the exception of the Socialist newspapers, expresses itself in favor of such an alliance, which, it says, would add 200,000 excellent soldiers to assist in the defense of France, and would make Spain a secure field for the investment of French capital and thus develop the immense latent resources of the country. Spain, it is pointed out, would by such an alliance be raised to an important place in the diplomacy of Europe.
    Count Alvaro de Romanones, the Spanish Premier, speaking to a representative of the Liberté to-day, said: "To-day Spain and France have reached a friendly agreement. To-morrow the two countries may take a further step. The understanding we have attained is the result of mutual effort."
