/ Home Office Steps by
Anarchist.
KING ALFONSO WEEPS
AT MEWS OF TRAGEDY
Killing Is Traced to Feeling
I Aroused by Execution of
prof. Ferrer, Republican.
MADRID, Nov. 12.—Premier Canale
of Spain was assassinated by an
anar. lust in this city today. The pre
mier was shot to death as he stood upon
the steps of the home office.
Th. assailant, who subsequently
( . , suicide, was identified as
Manuel Pardinas Zarrate, a dangerous
radical, who has been under police sur.
veillance.
News of the assassination spread at
once throughout the city and created
intense excitement. When King Alfon
so heard of it he is said to have wept
with grief.
The anarchist, who had evidently
been waiting for some time to get a
chance to fire upon the premier, rushed
forward as though to address a peti
tion to the government official when he
appeared on the steps of the home of
fice.
Concealed Gun
With Handkerchief.
The anarchist sprang toward Pre
mier Canalejas and pulled a handker
chief from his pocket in which was
concealed a revolver.
The Instant Senor Canalejas turned
his head Zarrate, taking quick aim,
I fired and the bullet struck the premier
' behind the right ear.
Before Senor Canalejas toppled, a
second shot was fired, which also struck
him in the head.
As several soldiers, who stood beside
the door of the home office, sprang for
ward, Zarrate turned the revolver
against his heart and pulled the trig
ger. The two bodies fell within a
few feet of each other.
Those nearest the scene of the shoot
ing declared that as Zarrate fired the
second shot at the premier he cried:
Thus I avenge my master.”
U hen this information was given to
tne police, it strengthened their belief
that the execution of Professor Ferrer
had preyed upon the anarchist’s
\ mind that he decided to take vengeance
' into his own hands.
Premier Canalejas was 62 years old
and during the latter years of his life
is practically the ruler of Spain. He
guided Alfonso through more than one
'-itional crisis and when his political
•'i'ponents were crying for his resigna
the king would not let him go,

HOSPIIPHOBE
Dr. S. W. Merritt Demands Dr.
R. R. Daly State Definitely
Alleged Improper Acts.
The concluding' session of the council
committee's investigation of the
charges lodged by Dr. R R. Daly, of the
Anti-Tuberculosis association, against
Dr. S. W. Merritt, of the Battle Hill
sanitarium, was enlivened this after
noon in the council chamber by a long
typewritten statement of Dr. Merritt in
which he called Dr. Daly a liar. Dr.
Merritt said in part:
“Dr. Daly has attempted to malign
me professionally and physically and
winds up his statement that he has
seen some things regarding Dr. Mer
ritt at the hospital that were not proper.
He is now requested to state definitely
what these things are or admit publicly
that he lied.”
Dr. Merritt denied the charges of
mismanagement and cruelty. On the
completion of his statement, Aiderman
John E. McClelland tried to cross-ques
tion him. but the committee would not
allow it; whereupon Mr. McClelland
appeared piqued and asserted that he
believed the committee had pre-judged
the case and would vindicate Dr. Mer
ritt.
The committee then adjourned to
meet and formulate a report to be sub
mitted to council at its meeting Mon
day.

Declares the Country Should

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—W. J. Bry
an today bent his efforts toward weld- j
ing more securely the North and South
in an address at the corner stone laying
of the memorial erected to Confederate
soldiers at Arlington National ceme
tery by the United Daughters of the
Confederacy.
He rebuked the Federal government
for its failure to erect a Confederate
memorial on Its own initiative, saying;
“The capital city Is the place for
such a memorial, and one must admit
that it is not complimentary to the
government that this building has been
so long delayed.
“Such a monument should stand in
Washington as a visible proof of the
narmony and concord that make our
nation one.
“A reunited nation is addressing it
self to the task of stimulating the once
estranged sections to honorable rivalry
In advancing the arts of peace.”
Colonel Bryan concluded by saying
that the United States should give
.thanks In proper manner for the unity
of the country and its narrow escape
from a fatal sectionalism.

The crematory’ fight took a rather
sensational turn today with the receipt
of a telegram from Mayoralty Nomi
nee James G. Woodward by’ Aldermat
A. H. Van Dyke. The message read:
New York. Nov. 11.
Why such activity on the part of
Gilbert and others? Are they fear
ful of honest results? Use all
means at your command to pre
vent old crematory being injured In
any way. Present contract will
never be carried out. I hope to
reach Atlanta by Thursday’ next.
J. G. WOODWARD.
This is the first news that any officia
o£ Atlanta has had from Mr. Wood
ward since he left the city a week ago
on a mysterious trip through the East.
He said he would investigate garbage
disposal sy items, but his Itinerary has
been kept secret from every one ex
cept tlie members of his family.
Van Dyke Asks
Old Plant Be Reopened.
Aiderman Van Dyke said he under
stood Mr. Woodward to refer to the
$276,000 contract of the Destructoi
Company, of New York, for a new gar
bage disposal plant by "present con
tract.”
Aiderman Van Dyke today’ wrote thi
following’ letter to Dr. W. L. Gilbert
president of the city board of health:
Inasmuch as nothing can be done ,
toward tearing down the old cre
matory for at least ten days; and
whereas there is no good or valid
reason why the garbage of the city
should not be disposed of in the
present crematory, I respectfully
ask and request, in the name of the
citizens and tax payers of the city
of Atlanta, that you withdraw your
arbitrary order and reopen the cre
matory at once.
Very respectfully,
A. H VANDYKE
Chairman of the Committee of
Sanitary Affairs and ex-Offlcio

Winn to get possession of the old cre
matory, that the Destructor Companj
might begin work on the new plan;
Mayor Winn replied that he intended ti
leave the city’ tomorrow for a rest it
Florida, and that he would not get in
volved in the crematory fight.
Dr. Gilbert tvjll appeal to Acting
Mayor John S. Candler for help.
“I was ordered by the board of healtl
to stop the use of the old crematory.’
said Dr. Gilbert today, “and I will not
rescind that order without instruction.-
from the board of health or a court or
der. The board meets Friday.”
