HEIR TO THRONE IS ASSASSINATED « Austro-Hungarian Archduke Francis Ferdinand and His Morganatic Wife Shot by a Student A BOMB HAD BEEN 4 THROWN PREVIOUSLY Archduke Hurled Missile Aside, but it Wounded Some Mem- bers of His Suite—Royal Party Was Driving Through Streets of Sarayevo, Capital of Bosnia, On Annual Visit, When a Youthful Servian Student Poured a Volley at Them—Archduke and His Wife Fell Over, Mortally Wounded—But One of a Long List of Tragedies That Have Darkened the Reign of Emperor Francis Joseph. Saravevo, Bosnia, June 28-—The heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and morganatic wife, the Duchess of Ho- henberg, were shot to death today while driving through the streets of Barayevo, the Bosnian capital. A youthfui Servian student fired the #hots that ended their lives and added ' another to the long list of terrible tragedies that have darkened the reign of Emperor Francis Joseph. Bomb Thrown at Them. First a bomb was thrown at the au- tomobile they were driving. at the town hall, but being forewarned of a possible attempt against his life, the archduke was watchful, and hurled the missile aside. It fell under an auto- mobile which carried some of the members of his suite, wounding Count Von Boos-Waldeck and Colonel Mer- izzo Volley of Shots. On their return from the town hall the archduse and the duchess were driving to the hospital when the Ser- vian, Gavric Prinzip, darted at the car and poured a voiley at the occupants. His aim was true, for the archduke and his wife fell over mortally wound- ed. With them at the time was the governor of the city, who escaped un- injyred. The bodies of the murdered coble collapsed bss him and pro- tected him from stray bullets. The governor shouted to the chauf- feur to_rush to the palace at top speed. Physicians were in prompt at- tendance, but their services were use- Jess, as both were dead before the pai- ace was reached. Until the emperor's wishes are known the bodies will lje in state at the palace here. They will doubtless be interred in the Hapsburg vauits in the Capuchin church at Vienna, Town in State of Gonstesnatien. The town of Sarayevo is in a state of consternation. There is mourning everywhere, with black draped flags and streamers on all public buildings. The president has sent a message to the emperor expressing the grief and horror of the whole population at their yuthless crime and assuring His Ma- Jesty of the people’s unalterable devo- tion to the ruling house. Weeping Women in Groups. Throughout the day weeping women were to be seen in groups .and great crowds surrounded the spots where the bomb exploded and the fatal shots were fired. The bomb was filled with mails and iead filings and the explo- 8ion was very violent. The iron shut- ters on many shops were pierced by flving fragments and iron railings were shattered. In all, about a score of persons were injured. several of them being women and children. Final Tragedy but One of Many. is final tragedy which has come ¢ house of Hapsburg is the cul- m of the personal sorrows that rshadowed the life of the em- His reign began with sinister for he faced internal dissen- nd external aggressions from the moment he came to the throne. In 1853 ihe list of tragie incidents be- gan with an attempt upon his own life, when a Hungarian named Lebenye wounded him with a knife. Fourteen years later his brother, Archduke Max- imilian, emperor of Mexico, was cap- tured by those who rose against him, condemned to death by court martial and executed. 'Then foliowed the burning to death of a’niece in Vienna, a sieter in Paris, and the death by icide in Strahrenberg lake of a cou- sin. In 1898 the emperor's wife, who was 2 daughter of Maximilian Joseph, duke of Bavaria, was stabbed to death at Geneva by a mad Italian anarchist. They had been estranged for many years, but the emperor had never gz!‘d to show a deep affection for Mysterious Death of Crown Rudolph, I.ess than ten years before, the em- peror’s only son, the Crown Prince Ru- dolph, a man of ability and promise, upon whom the Austrians had pinned their hopes. met death in a mystery which to this day has not been clear- ed. On January 30, 1889, his dead bodv was found in a hunting lodge at Meyerling, not far from Vienna. Be- Prince gide his body lay that of Baroness Marc Valzera. Archduke Charles Francls, known topulnrly as Karl, who becomes heir 0 the Austrian throne, owing to the morganatic birth of Archduke Fran- cis Ferdinand’s children, debarring their succession, has been carefully edicated with a view to fitting him for the position of emperor. He dif- fers from all other members of the imperial familv in as much as he is the first member of the imperial house to have been educated in the public schools of Vienna. He mixed,_ with 8chool children of every class of so- ciety. He associated with workingmen and tradesmen and joined them in their games, thus getting into closer touch with the aspirations and ideas of the public than any other Hops- burg. Duke Shot in the Face, Duchess in Throat and Abdomen, The archduke was hit full in the face and the duchess was shot through the abdomen and throat, Their wounds proved mortal within a few minutes. Those responsible for the assassina- tion took care that it should prove offective, as two attempts were made by two different assailants, the first armed with a bomb and the latter with a revolver, The bomb W: thrown at the royal autemobile as the town hall, was te be held, but de-camps in a second car and half a dozen spectators. Act of an Eighth Grade Student. It was on the return of the proces- sion that the tragedy was added to the long list of those that have dark- eneq the pages of the recent history of the Hapburgs. As the royal auto- mobile reached a prominent point in i the route to the palace, an eighth grade student, Gavrio Prinzip, sprang out of the crowd and poured a fusil- lade of bullets from an automatic pis- tol at the archduke and the ruchess. Both feli mortally wounded. Conspirators Barely Escape Lynching. Prinzip and a fellow conspirator, a compositor from Trebinje named Gab- i rinovic, barely eecaped lynching by the infuriated spectators and were finally seized by the police, who af- forded them protection. Both men are natives of the annexed province of Herzegovina. The first attempt against the arch- duke occurred just outside the girls’ high school. The archduke’s car had re-sfarted after a brief pause for an inspection of the buliding when Gab- rinovic hurled the bomb. This was so successfully warded off by the arch- duke that it fell directly beneath the | foliowing car, the occupants of which, Count Von Boos-Waldeck and Col- onel Merizzo, were struck by siivers or iron. Duke Remonstrated to Burgomaster. Archduke Francis Ferdinand stop- | ped his car and after making in- quiries as to their injuries and lend- ing what aid he could, continued his Jjourney to the town hall. There the burgomaster hegan the customary ad- dress, but the archduke sharply in- terrupted and snapped out: “Herr Bur- gomaster, we have come here to pay you a visit and bombs have been thrown at us. This is altogether an amazing indignity.” ter_a -pause. the archduks said: Now you may speak.” On leaving the hall the archduke and his wife announeed their inten- tion of visiting the wounded mem- beérs of their smite at the hospital on their way back to the palace. They | were bound on their mission of mercy when at the corner of Rudolfstrasse and Franz Josefstrasse, Prinzip open- ed his deadly fusillade. Bomb Thrower Captured. After his unsuccessful attempt te blow up the imperial visitors, Gabri- novic sprang into the river Miljachka in an effort to escape, but witnesses of his crime plunged after him and seized him, A few yards from the scene of the shooting an unexploded bomb was found which, it is suspected, was thrown away by an accomplice after he had noted the success of Prinzip’s attack. The assassins were interrogated by the police during the efternoon and both seemed to glory in their exploit. Prinzip said he had studied for a time at Belgrade. He declared he had long intended to kill some eminent person from nationalist motives. He was awaiting the archduke at a point where he knew the automobile would slacken speed, turning into Franz Jo- sefstrasse. The presence of .the duchess in the car caused him to hési- tate, but only for a moment. Then his nerve returned and he emptied his pistol at the imperial pair. He denied that he had any accomplices. Prinzip 1is 18 years old. Nedetjo Gabrinovics is 21 years old. He told the police that he had obtajned the bomb from anarchists at elgrade, whose names he did not know. He similarly denied that he had accom- plices and treated the whole tragedy with cynical indifference. ARCHDUKE ADVISED NOT TO VISIT BOSNIA When Told of Tragedy, Aged Emperor Exclaimed “I Am Spared Nothing Vienna, June 29.—When the news of the assassination of Archduke Fran- cis Ferdinand was imparted to the aged emperor he exclaimed: “Terrible! Terrible! I am spared nothing. Austrian opinion sees in the tragedy the result of a well prepared conspi- racy. It is asserted that when it be- came known at the Servian legation here that the archduke intended to &0 to Bosnia he was advised mot to un- dertake the journey, as certain Servian desperadoes were planning an attempt against his life. The archduke disregarded the warn- ing and proceeded to Sarayevo last Wednesday. He took up his residence at a watering place near the Bos- nian capital and attended the various fetes as well as the army manoeuvres which were concluded Saturday. He issued an army order expressing his great satisfaction with the manoeu- vres. > Telegrams are being received todmy from all parts of the kingdom an- nouncing the immense sensation caused by the erime.

GENERAL CARRANZA’S. REPLY HAS§ BEEN RECEIVED. Asks that Time be Given Him to Con- sult With His Generals. ~ Washington, June 28.—General Ven- ustiano Carranza, first chief of the Mexican Constitutionalists, has replied to the invitation extended for partici- pation by his agents in an informal conference with representatives of General Huerta and the United States concerning plans for a provisional government in Mexico, asking that he be given time to consult with his gen- erals. General Carranza, it was learned here tonight, informed the mediators in his latest communication that be- cause of the plan of Guadaloupe under which he was chosen first chief of the constitutionalists, it would be neces- sary for him to confer with his asso- ciates in the movement before entering upon such important negotiations. Ac- ceptance of any proposed provisional government to succeed Huerta, he said. necessarily might require some change in the termas of the Guadaloupe plan, and this could not be done without the consent of the various military leaders in the revolutionary move- movement. Assurances are sald to have been given the mediators by General Car- ranza that he would hasten the pro- posed consultation wita his chiefs as is order that some definite under- standing could be reached quickly as to the position to be taken with regard to the informal mediation conferences. Some of the constitutionalist represen- tatives in Washington still insist that General Carranza has been influenced to look with favor upon the proposal to confer with the United States com- missioners and Huerta representatives Others, however, are not as certain of this outcome and they insist that whatever happens, the military cam- paign against Huerta is to be pursued with renew vigor toward Mexico City with Aguas Calientes, San Luls Poto- si and Querataro as the next objective points of the revolutionist armies.

Washington, June 25.—Bombard- ment of the rebel city of Puerta Plata by President Bordas of Santo Domin- 80, was silenced late Friday by fire from the main battery of the Ameri- can gunboat Machias. Only a few shots were required for the task. News of this incident came to the navy department late tonight in a belated dispatch from Captain Rus- sell, on board the battleship South Carolina. The Machias, which car- ries eight four-inch guns, was sent into the inner harbor at Puerta Plata prepared for battle after the Domini- can forces had time and again violated an agreement not to Wse artillery in attacking the rebel forces holding the port. Protected Lives of Foreigners. Captain Russell was sent to Domini- can waters with general instructions to protect American and other foreign lives and property. He had warned the contending forces against the use of artillery, which meant certain death to non-combatants, and had been promised that only small arms would be employed. The captain's despatch, dated Friday, follows: “This afternoon about 5.30, when the Bordas artillery ashore fired shells into the city of Puerta Plata, the Ma- chias anchored in the inner harbor and with some shots from her main battery stopped the artillery fire into the ecity, after which there was no further firing. We have the situation well in hand and no additional vessels. either United States or foreign, will be needed to prevent the bombard- ment of Puerta Plata. The prompt stopping of the artillery fire into the city this afternoon will have a very reassuring effect upon the Americans and other foreigners in the city who have recently displayed great anxiety about their_safety MEDIATORS TO TAKE A FORMAL RECESS Unless Definite Word is Received from Carranze by Tuesday.
