however, and the proprietors declare that
the establishments will remain open for

The first call to the employes of the
hotels to go on strike was made y the
walking delegates at o'clock this morn
ing and all day the delegates have been
visiting the different hotels represented in
the Hotel Keepers' association and calling
out tha help. In several places the walking
delegates were refused admission and were
compelled to signal the employes from the
outside. In others the strike leaders were
met with the Information that there was
no need to make a call on the men to go
out, the hotel proprietors telling the help
It would be necessary to get out and stay
out until the trouble was over. The last
hotels In which the strikes were declared
were the Virginia, tha Great Northern, the
Brevoort and the Union. The men In these
places walked out tonight

The Employers' association, representing
more than fifty hotels. Including all the
prominent hotels of Chicago, held a meet
Ing this afternoon and gave out a state
ment, la which they review their efforts to
bring about a settlement of tha contro
vert. This statement says:
The hotol employers. Individually and
' ttiiwurh their sMoolatiun. have offered to
U .nlnns -ti4jrnfed arbitration of j all
4,-qirliu of 'wnges- and hours, and also
'arbitration 'Upon the question of union
recognition. The hotels even agreed ti submit-
to arbitration tha question of union
recognition as advanced by the unions
ihamnclvesVhe Various unions of hotel
employes, As represented by tholr respective
head, have stated that the only arbitration
they would consent toWould be the arbitra
tion 6f their own board and have also
stated that before they would entertain
anv tiearotiatlons further with the hotel
employers, they, the union board, should
first determine hours snd wages and also
that under no circumstances would they
consider the question of freedom of em
ployment even If the hotel men agreed to
ir nlnv union Inbor where It was available.
The hotels where strikes have been de
clared are not closed, wnne tney are ais
ntmmoded and naturally handicapped b;

will continue to take care of their guests
to the best of their ability. -The situation
aa It stands is the guests will be provided
with rooms and accompanying accommoda
tions and sufficient food to take care of
them. i
Iadleatioaa of Hard Fight.
There la every indication that the strike
Ul be hard fought. The hotel proprietors
declare that the demands made by the men
are unreasonable and the unions claim to
have not been fairly treated by the pro
prietors In that the proprietors agreed to
treat as Individuals with tha unions and
havo not done so.
The proprietors have agreed to submit
nearly every point at Issue to arbltralon,
but to this the unions will not consent. Tho
unions Insist upon the absolute recognition
of tha uilon. To this latter demand the
proprietors say they will never agree so
long as the strikers maintain their present
attitude. The unions also demand that the
members of the Hotel Keepers' association
come to the office of the employes' assocla
tlon aa Individuals and not as members of
ary association.
The strikers today made efforts to divert
euppllea from tha hotels, but were not sue
cessful to any great extent The employes
have hopes of bringing to their aid the
members of the teamsters and engineers
unions In order to keep food out of the
hotels and to deprive the hot tie of a supply
of hot water. Present prospects are that
the strikers will be disappointed In these
hopes, for President Young of the team
sters' union declared tonight that his or
ganlxation would not declare a sympathetic
strike In aid of the cooks and waiters be
cause the latter placed themsolves In the
wrong in refusing to accept the offer of ar
bitration nade by the proprietors.
The officers of the engineers' union mad

engineers would remain on duty no matter

level which the water,' coming In from' the
east and northeast will have to reach. It
Is now flowing along the lines of least re

continue to advance and submerge the

at tha point at which It pours through the

The water has crossed the Louisville It

Belt Line. During the night it reached
tha St Clair turnpike. overwhlch runs the

At 10 o'clock official announcement was
made of tha encroachment of the water on

that no cars would be run to Belleville,

The officials wanted to run It on the via-

BELGRADE, Juna ll-King Alexander
and Queen Draga were buried during the
nigm in the family vault of tha Breno
vitchs' In tha chapel of the cemetery of
St. Mark.
Shortly after midnight the royal victims
were carried to their last restlna- nlace.
It was a pitiful sla-ht All riv inn. h.
victims were reposing In rough coffins and
had lain exposed to tha gase of those who
had killed them and to the privileged cu
rious, who gave many unpleasant evi
dences of tha publlo resentment against
tnem. Soma persona even spat on the re
mains. Outside tha palace a vast crowd awaited
the cortege, which Included the bodies of
all the victims, which wcra simultaneously
interred, being conveyed in hearses to the
Belgrade cemetery. In the streets there
was a dead silence, the publlo being kept
back by the troops. The burial service was
brief. Two priests were present. Inside
the cemetery no one was allowed except a
strong force of gendarmes and a few offi
cers. Not a single friend or relative of tha
deceased was present
The remains of the royal pair were In
terred In a vault In the cemetery chapel.
Two wooden crosses alone denoted the
spot, marked "Alexander Obrenovlcs" and
"Draglnja Obrenovlcs." The other bodies
He outside In the cemetery ln tough graves.
Today the sisters and the pieces of the
late queen who had been arrested were
expelled from the country.
Colonel Naumovlcs Is described ln tho
official notice of his death as "dying on tha
Held of honor for bis fatherland."
It is now confirmed that only Queen
Draga's brothers were killed. Her sisters
were taken to Pancsova by some of tho
conspirators.
Take Office to Stay Anarchy.
In the course of an Interview today Pre
mier Avakumovics said:
We ministers only accented office In order
to prevent tbe country falling Into a con
dition of anarchy. As soon as a king la
elected we will appoint a definite cabinet
Skupshtlna can decide the fate of the coun
try quite Independently of the army, al
rn'mgn an apmrBMtnt seems probable. In
tl vent of the lertlon of Vfiu.-t. v-t-i . '
gcorevltch a denulatlon will an ,. ri.ihuu
. aria. , -
inform him of his election and Invite him to
come 10 fioigraac. lie will De Peter I.
The constitution of will be the basis
of the future governmental iyiem. As to
the present position of the ccuntrv, calm
prevails everywhere. There have been no
disturbances and the situation promises to
becomo better in the future. Those who
speak of excited popular sentiment and
predict further changes are entirely wrong.
Some. Favor Republic,
The meeting of the Skupestchtna on Mon
day is looked forward to to confirm the
army's proclamation of Prince Peter Kara-
georgevltch hi king of Sorvia and to regu
larize the new situation. The only new
element ln the situation is a growing feel
ing among the intelligent classes In favor
of the abolition of a monarchy altogether
nd the creation of a republic.
Differences of opinion on this point de
veloped today at a meeting of the cabinet,
when the new foreign minister Ljubonur
Kalievlcs, favored the establishment of a
republic. The majority of the ministers.
however, declared themselves In favor of
a new king in Prince Peter Karageorge-
vitch and urged the wisdom of their de
cision by the strong argument that It was
certain- Austria and Russia would not
countenance tha creation of a republic.
This Is ths view generally shared by poli
ticians. The government has laid claim to the
possessions of tha late monarch, as it Is
supposed he leaves considerable sayings,
having lived economically during tho last
decade. It Is reported that the greater part
of his money was deposited ln England,
but It Is questionable whether this will be
delivered to the Servian government
It is posulble that ex-Queen Natalie may
also appear aa an heiress.
Queen Draga was ln receipt of 30,000
gulden monthly abd also had great savings,
which will be handed over to her three
alaters.
Karageorgevltch Sot Yet King.
VIENNA, June 12. The new Servian pre
mier, M. Avakumovics, is quoted ln a d In
nately from Belgrade today as saying:
I returned home yesterday from Alxlnabe,
where I was on professional bUHiuess. I
was at once summoned to the ministry,
where the other ministers had assembled.
They Informed me that the deed was com
mitted at their request. 1 accept the pre
miership. The cabinet meets - today and
will consider what steps shall next be
taken. At present we are not In communi
cation with Karageorsevltch, even if the
army hus proclaimed him king. His elec
tion as king is probable, however, as there
is no other course open. It will remain for
the Bhuklptlvina to remove him or not.
The government will not propose him,
but will leave this task to the representa
tives or the people. We shall then resign.
We do not fear any external Interference,
aa there was none In the case of Bulgxtia.
Please say that peace prevails throughout
Servla and It will continue. That event
now DelongS 10 mniurjr. re anuuiu noi
judge the deed nor aweu on me past. Due
look to the future.
The telegrams from Bsigrada differ as to
the attitude of the Servian people. Soma
of them aay that only the military element
desires Prince Karageorgevltch to be king;
others Bay the Servians want Prince Mlrko
of Montenegro to rule over them, while
many of the more Intelligent are in favor
of a republic.
4oeen Natalie Prostrated.
PARIS, June 12. Former Queen Natalia
of Servla la so deeply affected by the mur
der of her son, King Alexander, that she is
unable to leave the apartment at Versailles
of her sister. Princess Chlka, wife of the
Roumanian minister.
Intimate friends of the queen believe she
will remain completaly Isolated at Versailles
until tha Servian crisis is over. The queen'a
nephew said today that she is resolutely
determined not to maka any public state
ment. Meatenegrlan Prlace Not la It.
