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
ne failed to recognize the Inscription.
Dlsregarding an impulse to soak
the package in water before he in
Vestigated, he united the narrow pink
ribbon that bound it and cautiously
Iltted up the cover. No explosion.
On the contrary, in the box was
some of the most delicious appear
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
ltors 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 it absolutely empty
The fudge laid at his shrine by some
fair and unidentified worshiper had
been basely and completely consumed
by his pagan guests.

ATLANTA SHRINERS
SEEK AID OF MOBILES
Hearst Newspapers Also Join in
Fight to Win 1914 Convention
for This City.

With the blare OF trumpets tenn
porariIy 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 be-
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 Americana:
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 III III lllt DOuln Is 50
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
all 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.

year, and $40, the average per 1000
of the past ten years. The loss of
1101 per 1000, 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
S66,417,OOO. Probably 80 per cent of
this loss is due to hog cholera.

QUEER MOTIVE
FOR At TACK ON
KING ALFONSO
WouId-be Assassin of SPANS
Ruler Said to Have Sought to
Spite Monarch's Wife.
Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.

CpeCl2l Cable TO ne Atlanta Georgian.
MADRID April 14-That Rafael
sanchez Alegroe, the would be regi-
eide who 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 if 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 i'm
mediately be sacrificed as a result.
The latter was intended as a post
mortem statement.
Alegroe is held under close surveil-
lance He has the appearance Of a
clerk.
If it had not been for Alfonso's ac-
tiyity the man probably would have
been killed by the soldiers who were
swearing i'm recruits at the time OF the
attempted assassination.
The King took an early ride in the
park to-day and was cheered by a
.hrong which had gathered to salute
him. The people show evidence Of
great joy that the King escaped I'M
wounded
AlegrOe was rejected from the
Spanish military service because OF
nervous trouble.

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
SocialiEtic 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 potteries are idle.
The strike has not been felt at
Antwerp so far. Most of the metal
workers throughout the kingdom lai6
down their tools. About half the
hands remained at work in the linen
and cotton mills.
As a general rule, engineers and
firemen remained on duty wherever
necessary to prevent damage to plants
or property.
Tram service in this city will come
TO a standstill tonight with the walk
out of the public service employees,
unless the Government is able to op-
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 manufac-
turing and mining districts
The situation is causing the great
est alarm to King Albert and his min
listers. 1t 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.

M'HARG DENIES
COLONEL is MAN

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-ormsby Nc
Harg, who for several months has
been promoting plan for get-to-
gether movement of Republicans and
Progressives, denied emphaticaily to-
day that behind the scenes Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt is being groomed
as a presidential candidate in the Re-
publican primaries OF 1915. He did.
however, profess a strong admiration
for Mr.. Roosevelts ability In admin
istering the affairs of the country
when president and praised him as a
really conservative president
While Mr.. McHa-g further out
lines his plan for the uniting of the
radical and the conservative wings Of
what was once the Republican party.
Pregressiyes laughed at the idea of
Colonel Roosevelt being a Republican
candidate again. The Progressives.
said the report in Washington, simply
was a scheme to stir the Republican
leaders to greater activity, and they
were using Colonel Roosevelt rs the
DOGGY man" to rouse the Republicans
to action.
