In the bill of complaint filed in l Trenton on Thursday a story of financlal | Suesling is told that amazed Wall street bankers. “If all the allegations are true, and | many of them are borne out in the of- ficial circular of the reorganization com. mittee,” said a Wall street banker to- night, “there should be a vigorous prose- cution of the men responsible. . It would |be a good thing for the community if such were done,” he continued, *“‘for it | would put a stop to the practice of at- tempting to sell worthless securities to the public on false statements of officials. That it Is the intention of the complain- ants in the present suit to carry the mat- ter to the last court of redress is made evident by an announcement in the bfll of | complaint. Paragraph 31 states in part: ‘Your orators charge that the president of the defendant company, Mr. Nixan, who has approved and recommended the adoption of said plan of reorganization, has been induced to do so in the interest of said Schwab with a view to investiga: tion and exposure of his tohduct by the | court and through a disinterested recefv- er, on express or implied understanding | with said reorganizatien that 1 if 3t succeeds in carrying out ans neither he nor his company dreétors will be prosecuted for their misconduct, and | that no restitution: will be sought from him by reason of his or their acts or omissions in connection with the organt- | zation- and management of the defend- | ant." | All Wall street was deeply Interested to- | day in reorganization plan developments. | In_many quarters when the plan was an- | nounced some days ago it was rumored that it would never be carried out on the lines suggested. There was a meet- ing of the committee and long confer- | ences were held, but at the conclusion jt | was announced that the plan would be | continued unless the courts make perma- | nent the restraining order and appoint | a receiver. | Nixon sald to-day he was not the pro- moter of the company. also that he did ot assist in the preparation of the finan- | cial plan and that he sold his plant and | business as a going concern and that the price received was not in any way exorbitant. In certain quarters a much different story concerning the promotion | of the Nixon shipyard trust is told. It is pointed out that Nixon recently de- clared that the company was not borrow- ing a dollar and that the bonds which it is proposed to wipe out of existence were, in his opinion, a golden bargain when they were selling ‘at $50. This statement | was made by Nixon over his own sig- nature, and it is now known that his plans were then being considered to re- organize the company. An animated meeting was held to-day | at the office of George R. Sheldon, head | of the committee on reorganization. Shel- don said: “This proceeding cannot prevent me from getting together security hclders of this company and reorganizing it. Talk of separating the Bethlehem Company from the United States Shipbuilding Com- pany is ebsurd. Mr. Schwab stands ready to take it over at any time, but he has agreed to put up the $2,000,000 cash cap- ital in the interests of all concerned.” —_————— EARTHQUAKE AT SKAGWAY GIVES RESIDENTS A SCARE Shock Is Felt All Over the Country, as Far Down the River as ‘White Horse.

I know from other sources that the discontent of the Servian reople had reached its height, but I could not pos- sibly have foreseen the events of the eventful night. I in no way contributed to their prep- aration rand I took no part, directly or indirectly, in them. On the contrary, their perpe- tration surprised me. “I have received numerous messages of congratulation, but that is all. I calmly await the trend of events. “So long as no formal proposals.reach me I have no redsén to leave Geneva, and . I will remain here. No'one has yet asked'me to return to Servia. No one has yet offered .me the crown. I am even without news of the members of my family, who reside in Belgrade. My opin- jon of the ‘executions' of the King and Queen of Servia'is this: I deeply g:ie%e that. it has been necessary to resort to blood. I formally disapprove of the violent measures, and{ I especially _ deplore that o army has had recourse to such measures—an army which has nobler tasks to accompjish than assassination. ‘It would have sufficed to force.

Eye Witness Werites of the Scenes of Horror Special Dispatch to The Call. ONDON, June 12—Full and authentic details of the mas- €acre of King Alexander and Queen «Draga were tele “graphed from Semlin by the Belgrade correspondent of the Daily Mail, who says: “I was personally an eye-witness of e events I"describe outside the pald ;re. while T have so far as possible gathered-from eye-witnesses and care- fully sifted the details of the sanguinary doings inside the royal building itself. 1, therefore, discard all rumors and ex- aggerations, of which there are any number.” The revolution, says tie dispatch. is now absolutgly established to have been a purely mifitary conspiracy. Officers of the general staff and of the military academy prepared the plan, and in so doing they had secret co-operation, or at least the consent of almost the entire corps of officers. It is possible some/ politicians were just before the fatal moment admitted into the secrets of the conspiracy, but the plan was solely and exclusively car- ried out by i.e trcops. At 11 o'clock Wednesday njght the conspirators be- gan to put their plan into execution. The royal family was absolutely un- suspicious of the coming danger. Silently a battalion of infantry was marched out of its barracks and as silently occupied every a sroach to the palace. The guards inside the building had been corrupted and wk forty officers,, who were to do the deed. pressed forward, the gates were flung open. One officer remained alone faithful to his trust. He was a captain of horse, named Panagaloitsch. He stepped forward and tried to stop the inrush, but he was shot at once. Across the threshold conspirators were met by the adjutant, Colonel Naumovics, who although aid-de-comp of the King and lhi) recipient of many royal favors, had long been privy to the conspiracy. Yet under his leadership and guidance, the task of tracking down the King and Queen was not easy.
