THE ARMY REVOLTS AND COM
MITS MURDER
NINE PEOPLE ASSASSINATED
King and Queen of Servia Die in Each
Others Arms Pretender to the
Throne Is Proclaimed by the Army
Decision Will Be Confirmed
BELGRADE A military
acy which subsequent events show
had the sympathy of the majority of
the Servian people was carried out in
the early hours of Thursday morn
ing and King Alexander Queen Dra
ga her two brothers and several min
isters were assassinated
The following is the official list of
the killed
KING ALEXANDER
QUEEN DRAGA
THE QUEENS TWO BROTHERS
PREMIER MARKOVITCH
THE MINISTER OF WAR
TWO AIDES-DE-CAMP AND TWO
OTHER OFFICERS
The time of assassination is given
officially as 2 a m
Prince Peter Karageorgeovltch the
pretender to the throne has been pro
claimed king by the army and there
is every reason to believe that this
decision will be confirmed by the
Servian parliament which has been
summoned to meet on June 15 The
revolution was executed without any
opposition on the part of the people
of Belgrade and the capital and the
country remain quiet
While the main outlines of the
events which took place within the
royal palace are known the details
are conflicting owing to the extra
ordinary secrecy with which the plot
was contrived and carried out The
chief conspirators were all men of
high rank who acted in concert with
the army
The participation of the latter in the
assassination which blotted out the
Obrenovitch dynasty which has ruled
Servia with a short intermission for
nearly a century is mainly due to
the atttiude of King Alexander and
his consort towards the officers of
the army whom he- always treated
with scant courtesy His desire to
remove the war school from Belgrade
to Shebatz particularly gave the offi
cers offense
The date is a sinister one in the
history of the Obrenovitch house be
ing the thirty fifth anniversary of the
assassination of King Alexanders
grand uncle who was done to death
by Agents of Alexander Karageorge
ovitch the then leading member of
the house which had long disputed the
throne of Servia against the Obreno
vitch family and whose head now
Prince Peter Karageorgeovitch has
been proclaimed king
Dissatisfaction against King Alexan
ders rule nas Deen actuated since
his suspension of the constitution last
April and it is from that time that
the military plot dates The organiza
tion of this bloody deed was carried
out with consummate skill The king
for the past two months was thrown
off his guard by the apparent quietude
of the reception ot his recent coup
detat In the meantime the conspir
ators had decided on June 10 as the
date for the execution of the revolu
tion for two reasons firstly it is the
anniversary of the murder of King
Alexanders grand uncle Michael
and secondly because it was feared
that further delay would permit the
skuptschina to settle the succession
to the throne according to the kings
wishes and it was believed that the
brother of the hated queen would be
his choice
Expect a Special Session
TOPEKA Kas It is expected that a

this vivid description of the break
The break occurred at 1140 My
gang was hard at work with the oth

and noted that it was almost time to
take our midnight lunch The water
was pouring over the top of the em
bankment in a sheet even after all
our work Suddenly with a roar that
1 shall never forget a jet of water
shot through the embankment almost
at my feet I was carried away but
threw out my arm and seized some
firm object and pulled myself out of
the water C D Sherwood a laborer
standing at my side was swept away
and I saw him drown In an instant
the water had cut a section of the em
bankment out and a stream twenty
five feet wide was rushing through
I looked across the torrent and saw
another section of tne embankment go
out a few minutes liter and then that
portion standing between the two tor
rents went down and the river pour
ed through in all its tury Many men
especially negroes were drowned I
know that several negroes worn out
were lying asleep right in the path of
the break They certainly drowned
I escaped by running along the em
bankment back to the city
The alarm spread like wildfire and
whistles were blown bells rung shots
were fired and cries of warning were
sounded but even witn all this pande
monium the majority of the aroused
inhabitants failed to leave their
homes

CATTLE There was a much heavier
run of cattle than was generally an
ticipated and packers took advantage
of the opportunity to take oft somo of
the advance they have been putting1 on
for the last several days The trade on
beef steers was not very brisk as sales
men all wanted steady prices while
packers were trying to buy supplies
fuly a dime lower As a general thing
the market could be quoted right close
to a dime lower The choicest grades
in a good man case did not sell over
a nickel lower but on the other hand
the common cattle and especially big
heavy cattle that were lacking in qual
ity sold a big dime lower There were
only a few cows and heifers Included
In the offerings and ns a result prices
showed very little change Anything
desirable sold without trouble at
steady prices Bulls veal calves and
stags were In good demand at steady
prices If the quality was at all desir
able The demand for stockers and
feeders was very limited and the few
bunches that arrived had to sell a lit
tle lower than yesterday
HOGS There was another liberal
run of hogs and the market opened
fully a nickel lower as Chicago was
quoted 510c lower Trading was
fairly active at the decline and It soon
became evident that packers all had
to have a good many hogs and that
there were none too many to fill their
requirements The early sales went
mostly from G to 605 The bulk of
all the hogs sold from 597 to 6-
