SHOT DEAD WHILE
LIGHTING CIGARETTES

Almost simultaneous with the butch~
cry in the palace the troops endeavor-
ed to arrest all the relatives of the
queen and those ministers whom the
conspirators disliked. Two brothers OF
the queen, Lieut.. Coils. Nikola and
Nikodern Lunjevics, were seized and
escorted by troops from their dwell
ing to the guard room of the division
commander. They were evidently not
suspicious Of their doom, and were
lighting cigarettes when they were
shot dead by eight soldiers.
Gen. ZinZar Markovics, the premier,
Gen. Pavlovics, minister of war, and
M. TodOrovics, minister of the interior,
were shot by the troops as they at
tempted to defend themselves from
arrest. The former two were killed,
while Minister Todorovics is just alive
tonight.
Shortly after midnight the bodies Of
the dead king and queen were carried
to their last resting place. 1t was a
pitiful sight. All day the victims were
repOsirg in rough coffins and had lain
exposed to the gaze of those who had
killed them and to the privileged Curl
Gus.
There have been unpleasant evil
dences of the public resentment
against the late royal couple. Some
persons even Spat on the remains.
Outside the palace a vast crowd
awaited the removal, not only Of the
corpses of the king and queen, but OF
the bodies of all the other victims,
which were similarly inferred, being
conveyed in hearses to the Belgrade
cemetery. In the streets there was a
dead silence, and the public were kept
back by the troops. The burial serv-
ices were brief. Two priests were
present. Inside the cemetery none was
allowed except strong force Of
gendarmes and a few officers. Not a
single friend or relative of the deceas-
ed was present.

noted the spot, marked Alexander

Lieut. Naumovics was not inferred
with the other victims, but, in response
to the wish of the public, was buried

GHICkGO'S HOTEL
STRIKE GENERAL
Twenty-Five HOStelries Af-
fected Are Running After
a Fashion.

CHICAGO. June 12-The strike in
the hotels of Chicago, impending for
the last three weeks, materialiZed to-
day, and twenty-five Of the leading ho-
tells are tonight badly crippled in all
departments. All of the hotels are
running, however, and the prOprietors
declare that the establishments will
remain open for business at any cost.
The fist call to the employees of the
hotels to go on strike was made by the
walking delegates at 9 o'clock this
morning, and all day the delegates Wis
tied the different hotels, represented
in the HOtelkeeperS' association, and
called out the help. In several places
the delegates were refused admission,
and we're compelled to signal the en-
plOyes from the outside. In others the
strike leaders were met with the dec
laratIon that there was no need Of
making a call on the men to go out.
the hotel proprietors telling the help
1t would be necessary TO get out and
stay out until the trouble was over
The complete list of hotels in which
the employees have left follows: Audi
torium, Auditorium Annex, Sherman
house, Grand Pacific, Stratford. Palmer
house. Briggs hO.Se, Bismarck, Kanser-
hOf, ThompsOn's, Victoria, Wellington,
Lakota. Chicago Beach. Del Prado,
Vendome, Hyde Park, Windermere,
MetrOpole, KenwoOd, Holland, Great
Northern, Virginia, Brevoort. Union.
The Lexington hotel signed the scale
presented by the union five minutes
after the help had been called out.
There is every indication that the
strike will 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 proprietors, id
that the prOprietors agreed to treat as
individuals with the unions and have
not done so.
The prOprietors have agreed to sub
nit nearly every point at issue to ar
bitratiOn, but to this the unions will
not consent. They insist that their
demands for higher wages and short
er hours be granted before they will
arbitrate ANYTHING and insist also upon
the absolute recognition of the union.
To this latter demand the proprietors
say they viii never agree so long as
the strikers maintain their present at
titude.
The strikers made efforts today to
divert supplies from the hotels, but
were not successful to any considera-
ble extent. The employees have hopes
Of bringing to their aid the members of
the Transfers and Engineers unions
IN order to keep food out of the hoteI%
and to deprive the establishments OF
a supply Of hot water. Officers of the
teamsters and engineers say they will
not strike.
Tonight pickets surround every ho-
tel in which a strike has been declared
and details of police are patrolling the
sidewalks around the buildings. So
far there has not been the slightest
evidence of disorder.
Nearly all the big downtown res
taurants will probably close tomorrow
