Vice Graft Charged
To Council Accuser
Counter Complaint of Receiving Pro-
lection Money To Be Made
Against City Alderman.

Positive reports to-day were circu-
lated that a charge of receiving graft
for vice protection would be lodged
against a member of Council who has
been active in accusing others. Prac-
tically all the members Of Council adj
mitted they knew such a charge would
be made, but no one would give the
name of the man who is to make it.
The graft probe has been delayed
by a technical defect in the appoint
ment OF the Council investigating
committee. Mayor Pro TEN Warren
thought his naming Of the committee
was regular enough, but the minutes
of the City Clerk showed differently.
Alderman John 5. Gambler said he
could not make a move until notified
of his appointment. Mayor Pro TEN
Warren, therefore, decided to notify
City Clerk Taylor of the formal ap-
pointment of the committee already
announced
With official authority. Alderman
Gambler said he would cali a meeting
Of the probers at once.
Thomas Reynolds, the mysterious
witness from Baltimore in the hose

ence with Mayor Woodward to-day.

Jesse Perry Gets a
Scare; Loses Candy
Governors Secretary, Fearing Bomb
or Poison, Robbed of Delicious
Homemade Fudge.

Mystery surrounded the presence
OF a small. oblong box on the desk of
Jesse G. Perry, Secretary to Governor
Brown. to-day.
An Internal machine" was the first
thought of the secretary when he re-
turned to his chair, after an absence
of only five minutes.
Gingerly, Mr.. Perry inspected the
mysterious package In a hand fine
and Enthusiastically feminine, his name
was written on the wrapper But
he failed to recognize the inscription
Disregarding an impulse to soak
the package in water before he in
vestigated, he united the narrow pink
ribbon that bound it and cautiously
lifted up the cover. No explosion.
on the contrary, in the box was
some of the most delicious-app
ing home made fudge that ever met
the eye of man.
But Mr. Perry was not to be lured
to his death by a box of poisoned
candy, not he.
Have some candy?" was his genial
greeting to some three or four Wis
itors who happened into the Gov
ernor's reception room at the moment
Then he watched them very closely
None of them curled up on the floor.
He waited, and some time later re-
marked that he thought he was safe
in trying some of the candy himself
He reached his hand into the box,
but Withdrew il absolutely empty.
The fudge laid at his shrine by some
fair and unidentified worshiper had
been basely and completely consumed
bN his pagan guests.

Every Form of Industry Crippled
by Refusal Of Socialists to
Work-No Violence,
Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BRUSSELS, April 14.-The So
ciaIist labor leaders claim tonight
that 100000 workmen throughout
the kingdom have obeyed the call
to strike in support of manhood
suffrage.

BRUSSELS, April 14.-Belgian
workmen struck a mighty blow for
manhood suffrage to-day when the
national strike went into effect in a
number of districts. In other quar-
tiers the date for the beginning of the
strike was postponed until to-mor-
row.
While thousands of coal miners in
the province of Hainault went out at
midnight. the real force of the walk
out was not felt until the hour for
workmen to report for their Monday
labors.
The district hardest hit is the min
ing region around Baringa, where
more than 100000 miners are idle to-
day The mining industry in the
great mining basin about Mons was
practically paralyzed. Leaders of the
strike declared that by tomorrow
night $4,000 men will have obeyed
the call.
No violence" is the slogan OF the
Socialistic leaders.
Some manufacturing concerns were
forced to close because of shortage of
fuel.
Enough men remained at work in
the mines around Charleroi to keep
the companies working so that the
mines would not be flooded. The
Client potteTies are idle.
The strike has not been felt at
Antwerp so far Most OF the metal
workers throughout the kingdom laiS
down their tools. About half the
hands remained at work in the linen
and cotton mills.
As a general rule, engineers and
liremen remained on duty wherever
necessary to prevent damage to plants
or property
Tram service in this city will come
10 a standstill tonight with the walk
out OF the public service employees,
unless the Government is able to OPP
crate cars with soldiers and other
strikebreakers Violence was report
ed from Houdeng. Roeulex and Mig
nault. where strikers cut the telegraph
wires leading to Brussels.
Troops Are Distributed.
In spite of indications Of a peaceful
strike. great bodies OF soldiers were
distributed throughout the nanufac-
turing and mining districts.
The situation is causing the great
est alarm to King Albert and his min
listers II is likely before the end OF
the week that the Government Will
open negotiations with the strike
leaders on the basis Of electoral re-
form.

SOUTH IS SWEPT
BY HOG CHOLERA
Georgia Among States That Suf-

Quarter Of 1918.

WASHINGTON, April 14.--HOgs in
Southern States suffered great loss
from cholera during January. Febru-
airy and March, according to the esti-
mates of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee. Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkan-
sas, North Carolina and Texas lost
many more hogs in the first three
months of 1918 than in the similar
quarter of 1912.
Losses Of swine were 110.1 per 900.

year, and 549 the average per 1000
Of the past ten years The loss of
1101 per 1,OOO if applied to the esti-
mated number and value of hogs on
January 1, would indicate a total loss
of approximately 6.736.OOO head. val
ued at 1886 per head. or a total Of
$6641TOOO. Probably 80 per cent Of
this loss is due to hog cholera.

Iowa, 100; Arkansas, $50: Mississippi,
1874: Indiana, $50; Illinois, 14O; Kan

Hearst Newspapers Also Join in
Fight to Win 1914 Convention
for This City,

With the blare OF trumpets tenn
porarily hushed. Atlanta Shriners
continued to work quietly to-day for
the great Shrine convention in 1914.
They got into correspondence with
leading Mobiles who will assemble in
Dallas in May to win their support
for Atlanta, and are confident that
Shrine officialdom will be solidly De
hind this city's claims.
The Hearst newspapers in other
cities have begun their campaign in
behalf of Atlanta. Here is the open
ing gun in The New York American:
For the year 1914 Atlanta is
marshaling all her splendid forces
of persuasion and hospitality to
invite the Mystic Shrine to be its
guest. Almost every Southerner
in social life knows and loves the
Mystic Shrine, and the 100000
Southerners in New York are
keenly interested in seeing the
next Imperial Council go to this
brilliant and beautiful capital of
Dixie.
No city in all the South IL so
well equipped In every element of
beauty and hospitality to enter
tain the Imperial Council as At
lanta. II is the center of enter
prise. the most beautiful city, the
most generous city. the best
equipped in places and ways Of
entertainment and one Of the
most convenient Of accress Of any
city OF the South or Of the coun-
try.
Travellers of commerce are ac-
customed to say that the city in
ali the country that best con-
soles them for absence from New
York is Atlanta!
Perhaps the Imperial Council at
Dallas will take the same view
for 1914.

QUEER MOTIVE
FOR ATTACK On

WouId-be Assassin Of SPANS
Ruler Said to Have Sought to
Spite MOnarch's Wife.
Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MADRID. April 14.-That Rafael
Sanchez Alegroe, the would-be regi-
eide VINO tried to assassinate King
Alfonso yesterday, was spurred to the
deed in order to spite his wife, was
the strange motive assigned for the
attempt to-day by the police
The Madrid authorities stated that
they had found a letter on the person
of Alegroe addressed to Sonora Ale
groe in Barcelona, stating that the
outrage would not have been commit
ted # the woman had answered a de-
mand made upon her The husband
had evidently sent for something,
money perhaps, which the wife had
refused TO give.
Alegroe evidently had believed that
he would be successful in killing the
King and that his own life would inn
mediately be sacrificed as a result
The latter was intended as post
mortem statement.
Alegroe is held under close surveil-
lance. He has the appearance of a
clerk
If il had not been for AlfOnso's ac-
tivity the man probably would have
been killed by the soldiers who We're
swearing in recruits at the time Of the
attempted assassination.
The King took an early ride in the
park to-day and was cheered by a
throng which had gathered to salute
him The people show evidence Of
great joy that the King escaped IN
wounded
Alegroe was rejected from the
Spanish military service because of
nervous trouble.
