IN SLAYER'S EFFECTS

Mystery

MADhlD, NOV. lS.--in an ehorl "
learn more OF the extent OF the plot
believed to have been behind yester-
days assassination or Premier Can
alejas. the police were securing Spain
today for the original OF the photo
graph OF a beautiful girl found among
the effects of the slayer Manuel Par
dinas Zarrate.
The picture bears the inscriptions:
ITO my unforgettable Manuel
IL was admitted that the photograph
might be that merely OF sweetheart
and that IL found she would perhaps
be unable TO throw any light on pos
sible widespread conspiracy back OF
the crime. On the other hand, the
police said, she might prove to be
member OF the same Anarchist group
as Zarrate and able, II she could DO
forced to speak, TO furnish valuable
Information.
In the assassin's pocket was also
found a memorandum book contain
ing many mysterious heiroglyphics
which the authorities were trying to-
day to decipher, thinking they might
include q list OF Zarrate's accom-
plices.
The assertion by some eye-witnesses
OF the shooting that Zarrate had an
accomplish who disappeared In the
crowd. under cover OF the confusion
following the assassination and that
Canaleias had received advance warn
ing OF his condemnation to death by
an Anarchist organization, were
thought. to lend color to suspicious
OF a plot of considerable proportions.
Statements that Zarrate failed TO
kill himself outright after the murder
were confirmed today, but whether he
has since died, could not be learned.
The police said plainly that they con-
sidered secrecy necessary pending in
yestigation OF the reported conspiracy.
Zarrate, did as a matter OF fact
wound himself severely in the head
before he was seized, and the report
that he was dead probably was given
out here In the first instance and then
taken advantage OF to facilitate toe
police inquiry.
Ex-Premier Moret, prominent Lib
eral. today declined reappointment. as
successor to Canalejas. II was stated
that Marquis Priety would continue
temporarily In ONCE, but the general
impression was that Gen. Weyler wilt
soon take his place.
I Contrary to custom. King Alfonso
will attend Canaleias' funeral as a
special mark OF honor.
The story that the premier spoke
to Police Inspector Casado after be
had been shot. was denied today. He
was dead, II was stated. before any
enc reached him, one Of Zarrate's bul-
lets, fred from a large caliber auto
matte pistol having passed completely
through his head from behind the ear
to the temple.
The bitterness OF political differ
ences in Spain may be judged from
the fact that when Marquis Priety.
foreign minister. and Premier Prize
tor. eulogized Premier Canalejas, in
announcing the assassination TO the
chamber OF deputies, declaring, the
enemies OF society will not triumph"
the Republican deputies sat in stony
silence while the Conservatives ana
Liberals applauded.
The populace was admitted today
10 the grand hall OF the chamber or
deputies for last look at the face
of the late premier, whose body Was
conveyed from the ministry OF the m
terror to the chamber last night, es-
corted by a guard of honor OF the
Royal Halberdlers. II will be laid TO
rest In the pantheon after a state fu-
neral.
LISBON, Nov 13.-That Manner
Pardinas v arrate, who killed Premier
CanalejaZs OF Spain, died at police
headquarters In Madrid some time az
ter he shot himself, was asserted here
positively today by men whose infor-
nation concerning revolutionary de-
yelopments In Spain, is generally cur
rect. They added that there was DO
doubt the man was an Anarchist.
Confusion concerning the assassin s
name has been due to the Spanish Gus
tom OF bearing the names OF both
father and mother.
Gen. Weyler, was said to be the
strongest candidate to succeed SeEcr
Canaiejas. Weyler has had remark.
