FAKES UP NEW " ,0 * cr MAHS RECESS t \ Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, were assassinated Saturday while driving through the streets of Sara jevo, the Bosnian capital. A youth ful Servian student fired the shots which added another to the long list o¥ tragedies that has darkened the reign of Emperor Francis Joseph. The archduke and his wife were victims of the second attempt in the aame day against their lives. First a bomb was thrown at the automobile in which they were driving to the town hall. Forewarned, however, of a possible attempt against his life, the archduke was watchful and struck the missile aside with his arm. It fell under an automobile following which carried members of the archduke’s suite, wounding Count von Boos-Wal- deck and Col. Merizzo. On their return frem the town hall the archduke and the duchess were driving to the hospital when Qaviro Prinzlp darted at the car and fired a volley at the occupants. His aim was true and the archduke and his wife were mortally wounded. With them at the time was the governor of the city, who escaped injury. The bodies of his murdered companions collaps ed across him and protected him from ■tray bullets. The governor shouted to the chauf feur to rush to the palace. Physi cians were in prompt attendance but their services were useless as the archduke and his wife were dead be fore the palance was reached. In Sarajevo there is mourning everywhere will black draped Jags aad streamers on all public buildings, nroughout the day weeping women were to be seen in groups while great crowds surrounded the spots where the bomb exploded and where the fetal shots were fired. Archduke Charles Francis, known popularly as Karl, who becomes heir to the Austrian throne, differs from aM other members of imperial family Inasmuch as he is the first member of the imperial house to have been educated in the public schools of Vienna, where he mixed with pupils representing every class of society He associated with working men and trades people and Joined them in their games, getting closer in touch with the aspirations and ideals of the people ihan pry of the other Hp.ps- burge. He is a first lieutenantln the Austrian army. Anti-Servian demon'•irations began Saturday night. The may of Sare- jevo issued a proclamation to the residents of the denouncing the crime and declaring that by thu confessions of the assins it was shov/n beyond all doubt that the bomb thrown at the archduke's car same from Belgrade. At a meeting of the provincial diet tie preeldent of the chamber express ed Bosnia's profound sorrow and in dignation over the outrage and paid a glowing tribute to the archduke and the ruchess. He also declared his unshakable love and devotln to the emperor and the ruling house. Those responsible for the assas sination took care that it should prove effective. There were two as sailants, the first armed with a bomb and the second with a revolver. The bomb was thrown at the royal auto mobile as it sped to the town hall, where a reception was to be held. The archduke saw the missile hurl- |&g through the air and warded it off with his arm. It fell outside the car and exploded, slightly wounding two aides de camp in a second car and half a dozen spectators. It was on the return of the procession that the tragedy was added to the long list of those that have darkened - the pages of the recent history of the Hapsburgs. As the royal automobile reached a prominent point in the route to the palace an eighth grade student, Gav- rio Prinzip, sprang out of the crowd and poured a deadly fusillade of bul lets from an automatic pistol at the archduke and the princess. Prinzip and a fellow conspirator barely escap ed lynching by the Infuriated specta tors, They finally were seized by the police. The first attempt against the arch duke occurred Just outaide the girls' high school. His car had started after a brief pause for an Inspection of the bollding, when Gabrinovlcs hnrled the bomb. This wa/ so ■successfully warded off by the archdoke that it ’well dierctly beneath the following ear,, the occupants of which. Count wen Boos-Waldeck and Col.

Clinkscales, candidate for governor' took a new tack at Bishop- ville Tuesday in his race, when he Joined one of his opponents, W. C. Irby Jr., in Memandlng a square deal for minority stockholders in South Carolina mills. Mr. Clinkscales was so anxious to avoid the charge of “striking a blow at the foundations of the greatest industrial develop ment of our State” that he read his speech. Mr. Clinkscales declared that there is a class of cotton mlllfe in this State in whose management the minority of the stockholders has long since lost confidence. Mr. Clinkscales ad mitted that in many cases there were natural causes for depreciation in the value of cotton mill stocks. “But I believe that where there is a cotton mill owned and controlled by what we have come to know as the 'selling agent’, who, with the ac quiescence of a highly paid mill presi dent, directs the operations of the plant, the South Carolina stockholder has very little show,’' explained Mr. Clinkscales. A part of his speech follows: j “Briefly I ask for a square deal for the minority stockholder in the cot ton mills of- South Carolina that in the end greater confidence may be shown In our great Industrial enter prises and our people may escape greater losses in the years to come, and thX laborer in these mills get a square deal and better wages. 1 would avoid in South Carolina a rep etition of the losses that have been recently sustained by the minority stockholders of railroads in New England by secret control of these properties through the greater in terests. “In South Carolina we want to as sure a healthy condition in our cot ton manufacturing enterprises, and it is not asking too much that the people be able to know Just what the conditions are that have destroyed confidence in so great a measure in the stocks of cotton mills in this re gion. "If elected governor I will urge inquiry Into the financial status of the mills of this State. If there be dishonest plans on foot in any com pany to destroy the value of these properties with a view to their ac quisition by the greater Interest such an inquiry will bring them to a halt and purify the general industrial at mosphere. I do not believe South Carolinians should be robbed of their money through the manipulation of properties by those in charge for their private gain. “This statement I make in the na ture of a warning and I believe it should be sounded throughout the commonwealth.’ CARRANZA WANTS MORE TIME TO DECIDE QUESTION IS COMPLETE GREETED WITH APPLAUSE Rural I letter Carriers Give Clink- Mcales' Name Warm RecepUon. Tumultuous cheering for. John G. Clhikscales, professor of mathematics at Wofford College afftRcandidate for Governor, was inspired by the men.- tion of his name' at Spartanburg Tuesday at the opening session of the annual Convention of the South Carolina Rural Letter Carriers’ Asso ciation. The applause is being fea tured by his advocacy of State-wide compulsory education, continued for several minutes. The speaker was R. D. Robinson, of Edgemor, Chester County, and he was responding to the address of wel come. He paid a tribute to Spartan burg as the home of well known men whom he mentioned, and had no more than uttered Dr. Clinkscales’ name than there came such a demon stration of enthusiasm for the candi date from the letter carriers as pre vented the speaker from continuing for perhaps three minutes. The out burst of- applause was commented upon as being remarkable for its spontaneity. tives. He was awaiting the archduke at a point where he knew the auto mobile would slacken speed, turning into Franz Joseph strasse. The pres ence of the duchess in the oar caused him to hesitate, but only for a mo ment. Then his nerve returned and he emptied his pistol at hte imperial pair. He denied he had accomplices. Prinzip is 18 years old. Nedeljo Gabrinovlcs is 21. He told the police he had obtained the bomb from an archists at Belgrade whose names he did not know. He denied also that he had accomplices and treated the tiagedy with cynical Indifference. After his unsuccessful attempt to blow up the Imperial visitors, Gabrln- ovics sprang Into the Mtljachka river In an effort to escape bnt spectators plunged after him and seised him. A ew yards from the scene of the shoot ing an nnexploded bomb was found which It was suggested was thrown away by an accomplice after he had noted the succees of Prlndp'a attack. Constitutionalist Chief Wants to Con fer With His 8upi>orters—Minis ters of Mediating Countries Differ as to Their Hope of Ultimate Suc cess—Recess Has Been Taken. a recess of mediation was decided on Tuesday by Ambassador Da Gama of Brazil and ^linisters Saurez and Naon of Chile and Argentina, respec tively. This action followed the re ceipt of a note from Gen. Carranza, expressing an inclination to partici pate in informal conference with Huerta delegates for the solution of Mexico’s internal problems, but ask ing for more time in which to con fer with his subordinate generals. The Constitutionalist chief declared he wished to get full authority from the signers of the plan of Guada- loupe, the platform of the Constitu tionalist movement, so that delegates might be clothed with plenary pow ers. Mediation is in a most complex state. While the signing of the se ries of protocals covering various phases of the international situation has brought forth confident expres sions from some quarters that media tion ha^ been a success, skepticism lias arisen among others vitally con nected with the proceedings as to whether anything of value actually has been accomplished. That was has been averted is gen erally admitted, but of the actual pacification of Mexico few see any visible signs of progress. The pro tocols already signed set forth in ef fect the conditions under which the United States will recognize a new government in Mexico. Everything, however, is conditioned on the estab lishment of a provisional government which must be the result of an agree ment between the -two warring fac tions. These have not yet been brought together. Some of the media tors doubt If they ever will be. If they confer there has been ^o Indi cation that the Constitutionalists will alter their attitude toward the Huera faction. Minister Naon, who is believed to be on intimate terms with the Con stitutionalists, professes optimism. Minister Saurez and Ambassador Da Gama are understood to be rather skeptical. The Huerta delegates are non-committal. The American dele gates will remain at Niagara Falls as long aa there is hope. In the meantime the widening breach between Carranza and Villa and the weak resistance being of fered by the Huerta troops to the Constitutionalist advance are pro ducing grave apprehension that a military conquest of Mexico City is likely while mediation is in session and perhaps provoke the interna tional controversy anew. The media tors have not yet obtained an explicit agreement between the 'American and Huerta delegated, on the lan guage of the protocol relating to the future evacuation of Vera Cruz by American troops. Without it the international con troversy would not be completely set tled. The Huerta delegates are anx ious that a short period fife fixed, ex tending from the day of recognition by the United States of the provi sional government within which the American forces shall sail away. The inconsistency of atemptlng to hold an election in all Mexico while American troops are encamped on a part of national territory has been ^advanced as “an argument against continued occupation, and there is little doubt that the American gov ernment will consent to the fixing of a definite period for the withdrawal of Gen. Funston’s troops. Should the Constitutionalists re fuse all proffers of peace and sweep on to Mexico City there are many close to the mediators who believe the Wilson administration, If con sistent with its previous policy, would not care to extdBd recognition to a government that had been set up by arbitrary force apd had spurn ed the ways of peace. It is practi cally certain .that Brazil, Argentina and Chile wlH hesitate long before recognizing such a government.

Underwood Shows There is No Treas ury Deficit. Fortified with officials figures from the treasury department, Democratic ( Leader Underwood Saturday told the House there would be no deficit in government ’finances and that any prediction of one was a drbam, based on wishes springing from political antagonism. In an analysis of the government’s financial situation Mr. Underwood an nounced that the total receipts of the govemn}jj£>t for the fiscal year ending TuesdayTJune 30, would aggregate $732,000,000, leaving a surplus of $30,000,000 and that with only a half year’? operation of the income tax. That did not include Panama expen ditures, estimated at $35,000,000. Next year, he declared, Panama ex penditures virtually would pass away,' and canal receipts would pay run ning expenses. Mr. Underwood’s speech was in support of the Senate amendment to the legislative appropriation bill to increase the treasury fund for col lecting the income tax from $1,000,- 000 to $1,500,000, which the House finally agreed to. Air. Underwood ex plained the increase was for collect ing the Income tax fj’om persons and corporations trying to evade it. “For next year,” he predicted, “we can be assured of collecting more than $100,000 from the Income tax, even if no more proportionately is collected than was collected this year, and more proportionately will col lected." - . Mr. Underwood said customs re ceipts were producing in the current year $22,000,000 more than the ad ministration had expected, and that the treasury department ’teported these figures of the total revenues for the current year just nding: “Income and corporation tax $75,- 000,000, which had been estimated at $95,000,000; Internal revenue $309,- 000,000, estimated at $312,000,000; customs receipts $292,000,000, esti mated at $270,000,000; miscellane ous receipts $57,000,000, estimated at $59,000,000.” Mother Breaks Neck.
