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, COST OF RIOT DUTY TO STATE THIS YEAR WILL REACH $5,000 1 ” sou weeks' service of the Na- Guard of Georgia on. riot duty in entailed an expense upon the of ipproxlmately s4,i)o0 —$1,000 t of the trial and execution of " negroes at Cumming, in For- 'hi "lunty, reached SBOO. ‘ Item, with the Augusta expense, . total of riot duty cost in Geor- I 1 .‘ir to nearly $5,000, or double t l h j ' ltm amount appropriated by < legislature for such work.
