DAY, NOVEMBER ANARCHIST SHOT KAT BELGIAN KING. One Bullet Grazed the Face of an Aide Who Was Accom- panying Leopold on His Way to Church. BRUSSDLS, Nov. 15—An attempt was made to assassinate King Leopold this morning as he was on his way to the Cathedral to attend Te Deum in honor of Queen Marie Henrlette. Three shots were fired at him, No one was hurt. "The city 1s in a turmoil of excitement ‘aver the attempt to kill the King. The man who fired the shots is an tatian named Rubino. He !s & book- ‘keeper. He stood in front of the Bank of Brussels, on the Rue Royale. Some of the cartridges in his revolver proved to be blank. To the police Rubino confessed that he wes an Anarchist and that he In- tended to kill Leopold. Mam Was Arrested. ‘The man was immediately arrested rescuifig him from the hands of the crowd, ‘The royal cortege consisted of several carriages besides that of the King, con- taining the Count and Countess of Flanders, Prince and Prinéess Albert of Flanders, the Princess Clementine and ‘Aldes-de-Camp and Ladies of Honor. ‘The news of the outrage spread rapidly oughout the city and the greatest ex- oer prevailed, The people thronged the streets, eagerly discussing the at- tempt on vhe life of the King, and large crowds gathered In front of the various pulletin-boards, The newspapers issued frequent editions and these were eagor- ly bought. General abhorrence was ex- pressed by the people at the apparently deliberate attempt to assassinate the povereign. King: Leopold appeared to be quite un- moved by the attempt of Rubino to kill him. After luncheon at the palace His Majesty entered a motor-car and pro- ceeded to the railroad station, where he boarded a train bound for, Greenendael. When Rubino reached the police sta- tion he showed ample signs of the yough handling which he received from the crowd. The priconer, who appeared to be weak-minded, sald his only reason for shooting Was exasperation at sec- {ng ‘so many tired looking personages occupying sueh grand cvaches. ‘A fuller inyestigation satisfled the police that Rubino really fired a batt cartridge, the bullet of which smashed the window of Comte d’Oultremont's carriage and grazed the Grand Marshal's face. ace Threatened Violence, When rescued from the mob Rubino was placed in a eab and Infurlated crowds of people immediately surround- ed it and attacked the vehicle with knives an sticks, The police had great dimculty in forcing @ Way to the pdllce station through the crowd, which houted alternately, “KI him!" and one ive the King!” The cab wus badly hacked with knives. ‘\ yearch of the prisoner revealed a { ball cartrid it Is reported thitt mn heard to express Anarchist opinions and ie was alsy sald that he came to Brits tela from Londor expressly to kill King ieopold, and went to the Cathedral this fnorning for this purpose, but refrained from snoring at ine King for fear of Killing soldiers who stood between him and His Majesty, Rubino js also reported to have sald he was employed In the Itallan Secret Service in London and that he-came to Brussels a fortnight ago with the in- tention of assassinating King Leopold, ‘and the police had some diMculty Inf RIVAL CAPTAINS AND ELEVEN OF WHO PLAYED IN THE BIG GAME AT PRINCETON. THE STARS > DOCTOR DENIES BLAC AMIAIL, BUT IG HELD BY THE JUOGE ‘Dr. Benjamin T. Whitmore. Held with Army Clerk Wilson for Attempted Extortion, Now Says He Was Act- ing as Amateur Government Sleuth. An attempt was made to-day to give a new turn to the charge of attempted extortion from the Water Front Im- | provement Company by Dr. Benjamin T. PLOT HATCHED IN LONDON. | Whitmore, famous throughout the country as an employee of Parke, Davis & Co., drug manufacturers, and Harry C. Wilson, chief clerk of the Harbor Improvement Board in the Army Bulld- ing, Both denied the charges against them and asserted that they were act- ing as amateur detectives in an effort to prevent a wrong against the United States Government, ‘They were ar- raigned betore Magistrate Cornell and held in $2.600 bail for examination next Monday. Detectives do not credit their explanation of the affair. Dr. Whitmore gave ball at once, with Herbert Turrell, a chemist, of No. 90 aiden Jane, who lives in Bast Orange, on the bond. Wilson expects tv secure @ bondsman later In the day. Deputy District-Atturney Kresel ob- Jected at first to the amount of the bond required, but Magletrate Cornell said he agreed with Lawyer George Gordon Battle, who v‘epresented the prisoners, that the only object of ba'l was to insure their appearance for ex- amination, Both men, the Magistrate said, held responsible positicne, and he thought the good reputation that they had borne for twenty yeare should be taken Into some account. Lawyer Bat; tle said the eximination on Monday would probably be brief. Dr. Whitmore Nervow Dr. Whitmore appeared to be some- what nervous. He Is a man of imposing pearance, well and stylishly dressed. He sald to an Evening Worid reporter: “Later on I shall’ make a statement that will put me right with the public, T want to jure my friends in the East and the West that there {s nothing in all this thing, 1 have, giany friends whom I should hate to have believe me guilty of any such’ charge as this. Everything will turn out all right, you can depend upon St, when the other side of the story has been heard. Dr, Whitmore added that nis connec- tlon with the case came about through his having done amateur detective work in alding his friend Wilson to run down @ome crooked work which Wilson paid was being done at the expense of the Government, ix weeks ago," he said, “my friend Wilson asked me to help him in'some de- tective work, He was convinced that the Government was not being paid enough for the use of a dredge and tug that had been brought down from the Harlem River for use by the Water Front Improvement Company. He said he was trying to keep his superiors informed about this and wanted me to seek evidence for him, I agreed, we talked it over, and I figured out a plan of action, The rest you know. 1 went to Washington and related to Wilson all that I learned,” Wre it Wisct Asks Rattle. “Don't you doubt now whether it was wise for you to go into the amateur de- tective business?" interrupted Lawyer Battle, “Yes. But I had no criminal intent,’ Dr Whitmore replied, “Wilson was try- Ing to save the Government from being defrauded, and whether {t was foolfsh for me to help him makes no difference now. I went into it with my eyes open.’ Wilson bimeelf later on spoke of the man Preston, and eaid he had confided in him right along. “As for the-amateur detective work,’ he added, “I have in my twenty-five years of Government service frequently been called upon to do such work as this when my suspicions have been aroused that contractors were trying to defraud the Government. 1 have never before ‘been charged with anything criminal, and will prove that what I have said about this case is the truth. I expect {o secure a bondsman before long.” The Centra] Office men say that they oners. Detective McConville asserted that he and the other detectives took their time in working up the case and did not spring the trap till they were quite ready with thelr evidence. On instructions from Gen. Gillesple, Chief of Engincers of the War Depart- ment, seals were to-day put upon the desk and safe of Wilson in the Army Building. Gen, Gillesple was in communication with Maj. W. Ll, Marshall, who ts in charge of the Harbor Improvement of- fices In the absence of Col. Mansfield, and with Deputy Police Commissioner Alexander A. Piper, through whose ef- forts as @ retired army officer the black- mall conspiracy which promised to yleld many thousands of dollars was unvoy- ered. Ordinary telegraph blanks con- taining the following notice were pasted on the desk and the safe: ‘Sealed by or- er of Gen. Gillespie, to be opened by jajor Marshall only. SRMINGvc a oloehe es acto Col. Mansfield will return to the city Monday. Gen, Gillespie will arrive here to-day, but it Is denied that he comes on account of the all on kecsiin alleged blackmail The contents of Wilson's Gesk were examined before the seals were put on it In the presence of representatives of the District-Attorney’s offic ee © and Capt. Among other interesting documents in the possession of the detectives is said to be a letter which was written by Dr. Whitmore to Supt. Martin, of the Water Front Improvement Company, and which contains complete incrimi- nating évidence of the conspiracy. In the course of the negotiations con- ducted by Deteotive MoConville, posing as a representative of the company, Whitmore to:d him that he had been for years a lobbyist In Washington and Albany, and had saved much money to ‘big corporations by putting bills through. He sald, according to McCon- ville, that he knew the ropes so well he could put almost anything througi. It Is now beiJeved that no other per- sone other than the two men arrested were implicated in the scheme, Dr. Whitmore, who lives at No, 122 West Seventy-third strest, and Wilson, the army clork, were arrested by Central Ofiice detectives after tbey had accepted from Detective Bernard McConville, who posed for the occasion as an officer of the Improvement company, the sum of $4,500 in marked bills In payment for influence which was represented as nec- essary to Insure to the city the comtinued use of a Government dredge and barges.

J., Nov. 15.—The warriors of Prin ton and Yale met this afternoon in the on's crucial test for football su- premacy and twenty thousand throats cheered on the youthful giants in their struggle for the slippery oval. ‘The Princeton team, headed by Capt. Davis, leading by a long chain the terrible tiger mascot, snorting and writhing to free himself, trotted out on University Field shortly before 2 o'clock, whereupon a mighty wall of yellow and black rose up on the east stand of the field and rent the alr with the famous ‘Nassau yell.” and ribbons could not hold back a sigh of admiration at sight of the stalwart band of red-cheeked Ilthe youths as they spread themselves about the field with wondrful agility, falling on the ball, punting and tackling. But the cheers were still echoing back ‘and forth between the four walls of the pulsating quadrangle when there flashed on the white-barred arena a score or more of, blue-stockinged glants, and a hush fell upon the great throng; but only for a moment, however, for up rose the sons of Old Fii, and in mighty votce split’ the air with the well-known “Rreckety ax-coax-coax,” followed by the thrilling ‘boola” chorus, But before the first wave of the blue rooters, cheers had rolled out over the | waving plains bathed in brillant suln- | shine and soft balmy mists, the yellow and black was on its feet again with this answering paran to the air of Mr, Dooley: eleven tigers, ‘They are going to beat you They will defeat you; $0 sing you doola, bola, boots, bool.

J., Nov. 15.—The largest, most enthusiastic crowd that ever gathered to see a football game here was packed in a human wall around the gridiron on which Princeton and Yale fought for football hon~ ‘The mildness of the weather encouraged the wearing of bright colors, ‘and such a diversified, inspiring view as that presented by the 20,000 gayly attired spectators is seldom seen on a, football field. Yale was a pronounced favorite, largely because she had the heavier team, but the supporters of Princeton were loyal. Apparently there was no Iimit-to the supply of money available on each side. More than $109,000, had been wagered before the teams appeared on the fild. When the Princeton hordes saw the live tiger mascot they dug up theit reserve bankrolls and wagered all they had on earth. There was a con- fidence in the mascot that extended from Capt. Davis, of the football team, to the humblest freshman in the university. Yale had an extraordinarily large representation on the field. Tho ed stands reserved for old Eli were topped with thousands of banners of blue, In point of lung power the adherents of the two colleges ranked evenly, —— oo HOW 20,000 ENTHUSIASTS FLOCKED AROUND THE FIELD — THE LINE-UP.
