News of the assassination spread at
once throughout the city and created
intense excitement. When King Alfon

been waiting for some time to get a
chance to fire upon the premier, rushed
forward as though to address a peti

firm! and the bullet struck the premier
behind the right ear.
Before S nor Canalejas toppled, a

him in the head.
As several soldiers, who stood beside

ward. Zarrate turned the revolver
against his heart and pulled the trig
ger. The two bodies fell within a
few feet of each other.

Great Loving Cup of Gold One
of Many Tokens Given
Happy Couple.
A great loving cup of purest gold, fl
heavy tablet of the same precious met
al, wonderful masses of exquisite bou
quets and perhaps a thousand letters in
a thousand handwritings filled the cen
ter table In the apartments of Colonel
and Mrs. Robert J. Lowry today, as
they began their second 50 years of life
together. When their next half century
is completed perhaps they’ll have a
radium wedding—but who knows what
the fashion will be then?
The loving cup, the work of Charles
W. Crankshaw, was the gift of 187
loyal friends and was presented by
Captain James W. English at thfe re
ception at the Capital City club last
night. It bore an inscription of love
and a bit of a poem by Frank Stanton
and was filled to the brim with wine.
The tablet, engraven with an expres
sion of affectton and esteem, came from
the men of the Lowry bank, while the
flowers were gifts of a -thousand
friends.
The golden wedding of the Lowrys
was by far the most beautiful, as it
was the most elaborate, affair which
has taken place at the new club house,
a suitable setting for such a gathering
The most beautiful costumes, the most
gorgeous gowns, the most exquisite
flowers ever seen at an Atlanta social
event were there. Perhaps 2.000 of the
most prominent men and women of
Georgia society were the guests. The
reception began at 4 o’clock and con
tinued until after midnight.

Mrs, Lowry was dressed as a bride

U. D. C. OF KENTUCKY
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—Sectional
feeling of Civil war times was revived
today when members of the Kentucky
delegation of the Daughters of the Con
federacy, which meets' here tonight, at
tiie special session proposed a petition
calling on the Kentucky legislature to
remove the statue of Abraham Lincoln,
which now stands in the state capitol
and replace It with one of Jefferson Da
vis, president of the Confederacy.
During the meeting, which was held
in the New Willard hotel, the dining
room orchestra played “Yankee Doo

Daughters another protest. They de
clared that this air was “not in keep
ing” with the occasion and suggested
to the manager that “Dixie” should re
place the Northern melody on the pro

Wilson was elected president, M. S.

out a hurrah for Colonel Roosevelt In

chosen president.
As everybody knows, Wilson was
elected; so Lanier carried out his
promise and attracted a whole lot of
attention on Broad street when he
yelled at the top of nls voice for the
president-elect. He more than paid the
bet in full and with three other Moosers
cried out this verse:

SAYS FOES
FEHR HIS
PROBE
“Present Crematory Contract
Will Never Be Carried Out,”
v He Wires to Allies.
TELLS VAN DYKE TO
BLOCK DESTRUCTION
Political Circles Stirred by First
Word From Nominee on
Mysterious Trip.
The crematory fight took a rather
sensational turn today with the receipt
of a telegram from Mayoralty Nomi
nee James G. Woodward by Aiderman
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 offleia.
of 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 systems, but his itinerary has
been kept secret from every one ex
cept the members of his family.
Van Dyke Asks
Old Plant Be Reopened.
Aiderman Van Dyke said he under
stood Mr. Woodward to refer to tho
*276,000 contract of the Destructor
Company, of New York, for a new gar
bage disposal plant by "present con
tract.”
Aiderman Van Dyke today wrote th«
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-Offlci»
member of the board of health.
Aiderman Van Dyke said he would
seek a mandamus from the courts to
force the board of health to resume tho
use of the crematory if his request was
not complied with.
Winn Refuses to
Get Into Controversy.
Dr. Gilbert sought aid from Mayop
Winn to get possession of the old cre-»
matory, that the Destructor Company
might begin work on the new’ plant.
Mayor Winn replied that he intended to
leave the city tomorrow for a rest in
Florida, and that he would not get in
volved in the crematory fight.
Dr. Gilbert will appeal to Acting
Mayor John S. Candler for help.
"I was ordered by the board of health
to stop the use of the old crematory."
said Dr. Gilbert today, "and I will noc
rescind that order without instructions
from the board of health or a court or
der. The board meets Friday.”
Leading clubwomen at a meeting yes
terday afternoon entered into the fight,
expressing indignation at the delay of
city officials in providing some syatem
of garbage disposal. Among those who
made talks on the subject were Mrs. J.
K. Ottley, Mrs. Sam D. Jones. Mrs.
Charles J. Thaden and Mrs. Thomas B.
Felder.
The Woodward forces, who won their
first victory with the halting by Judge
Pendleton of the board of health's plan
to tear down the huge smokestack of
the old plant, await the home-coming
of their leader for the renewal of tha
tight.
The Chamber of Commerce probably
will take a hand in the crematory row
at an early date. One called meeting
to consider the question has been held
by the directors of the chamber.
The directors yesterday took no ac
tion because of the pending decision
of Judge J. T. Pendieton, who an hour
later granted an injunction restraining
the board of health from tearing down
the old crematory at present, but avo* -
ed their Intention of meeting cither to
duy or tomorrow. *
