Wahle, for the defense, went at
Shapiro viciously on cross examina-

And then Whitman let loose the

Madrid, Nov tZ.--Practically every

inspired the assassination of Prem

Extraordinary precautions. have
been taken to prevent a general up

whom are rominent and have great
influence.
1t is understood that Manual Pard-

killed the premier, did not commit
suicide after his arrest, as was report
ed, hut the police gave out this in

pliccs off their guard
There is no sign of further trouble
here tonight. The military guards at
all the public offices have been doub-
led and the force of civilian officers
has been greatly augmented for pat
rol duty. The city has gone into
mourning. All court affairs have
been cancelled and the more promin-
ent business houses are closed.
Wherever people congregate in any
numbers they offer quiet demonstra-
ton of allegiance to the king.
Foreign Minister Pritto was APP
pointed to act as premier until per-
manent selection could be made. A
heavy guard was then placed over
the royal palace and tonight no one
is allowed to linger in it's vicinity.
The assassin was Il slight man,

Gently returned here from Buenos
Ayres. He is e-be4ieved to have be-
longed to more radical elements Of
Spaniards who were formerly friendly
to Canalejas, but as the latter later
in life, became more conservative,

Martin fired four shots at Premier
Canalejas as he was entering the min
stry of the interior to attend cab
met meeting. Two of the shots
struck the statesman behind the right
ear and he fell dead on the spot.
Jose Canalejas Mendes, prime
minister of Spain, who was assassi-
mated today was selected to form the
Spanish cabinet in February, 1912. He
was leader OF the monarchial demo-
cratic party, which came into power
on the resignation of the Liberal cab
met headed by Senior Y. Prendergast.

Southern Railway Sends
Out Warning.

Washington, D. O., March 23.-Re-
petition of the enormous losses sus-
tanned by timber owners throughout
the South last year beoause of the de-
structive pine beetle may be prevented
this year if timber owners will simply
burn the bark of the dead and dying
pines from which the needles have not
yet fallen, the burning to be done be-
fore May 1st, according to DR.. A. D.
Hopkins, who is in charge Of the For
est Insect Investigations for the bu-
reau Of entomology.
"The people of the South have an
opportunity to make q final effort
which, it properly directed, will 90 far
towards controlling this pest" says
DR.. Hopkins. "The beetle is now pass
ing the ~ inter in the bark Of the dead
and dying pines from which the nee
dies have not yet fallen. These trees
should be cut down and the bark OF
the main trunks destroyed by burning
before May 1st or the beetles Will
come out with the warm weather and
take up their work Of destruction.
This object may be accomplished with
out direct expense by turning the in
tested trees into cordwood or lumber,
but it is essential that this cor3wood
be burned with the bark on before
MAY 1st and shat the slabs of the lum'
Der with the bark on be burned before
that time. It's only necessary to treat
the dead or dying trees from which
the needles have not yet fallen. The
dead trees from hich the needles
have fallen have been abandoned oy
the beetle and may be disregarded in
control operations.
Fearing that the danger from the
pine beetle is common to the whole
South, whose interests it considers
identical with theirs, the Southern
Railway Company is cooperating with
the United States Department OF Ag
riculuure in warming Southern timber
owners of the threatened danger ano
how it may be avoided.
