KING LEAVES TO- NIGHT
Peter VIII Leave Geneva for Belgrade
This Evening"

New York Sun Special Service.
. Geneva, June 22.-The Servian parlia-
mentary delegation arrived here yester-
day 1t consists Of eight members, whose
mission is to greet King Peter and obtain
his signature to the new constitution.
They were welcomed at the railway sta
ton by the kings secretary and a num-
Der of Servian and Russian students.
Later they were received in audience by
the king. They will accompany his mai
esty to Belgrade.
King Peter will leave for his capital at
3 o'clock this evening. In addition to the
foregoing he will be attended by his
brother, Prince Arsene, some Servian
civil officials, military body guard and
a number of detectives.
He has again been asked whether he in
tends to punish the regicides. His reply
indicates that he has changed his mind
during the last few days. He was quoted
lately as saying emphatically that If he
permitted the guilty officers to escape he
would be equally guilty with them. To-
day he said. evastvely, that it was mat
ter for the Servian parliament to settle.
In any case 1t was an internal question
and did not concern the foreign powers.
He refused to discuss the matter fur
ther His majesty Is reported to be much
irritated and upset by the attitude Of
England and the other powers that are
acting with her. sss.....
King Peter spent part of Saturday in
making final purchases, which included a
revolver and quantity Of jewelry. He has

east said Representative elect J. Adam
Bede Of Minnesota, in an interview here.
When one goes az far as Minnesota the
enthusiasm equals any ever accorded the
=plumed knight in his palmiest days and
in the arid region he is regarded as an
oasis In a political desert.
This is not because he has done any
particular thing but because he has
demonstrated that his heart is right, that
his head is clear, that, contrary to the
expectations Of some. he is safe and well
poised and because we have an abiding
faith that whatever occurs he will be on
the side Of the best interests Of the
American people.
There are few persons in the east
who believe the president should assume

wise and silent as q memorial window, but

REFUSES SECOND PLACE
Hanna Says He Wouldn't Accept
+ Vice Presidential Nomination
Under Any Conditions.

Cleveland, Ohio, June Ex-senator M.
"A. Hanna. has reiterated his recent state
ment that he is not and will not be a
candidate for the vice presidency. He has
gone so far as to say that if his nominal
ton was made he would decline to accept
it. He said further that his ambitions
do not lie in the direction of the White
House, and that nothing could induce him
to alter his decision in the matter.
p When the action Of President Roose-
Welt towards the vice presidential nomi-
nation was cited to him as an instance OF
how public men sometimes change their
views with regard to political nnomina-
lions when the sentiment of the people
demanded it, and they were compelled
to accept Office, Senator Hanna said that
men in public life who knew him know
very well that nothing can be forced upon
him.:
Colonel Myron T. Herrick. whose name
also has been mentioned in connection
with the e-presidency, said that his
sole, political ambition was to be elected
governor of Ohio.

Russian and Austrian Demands for

King Peter Seems Inclined to Allow
Parliament to Deal With
the Matter.
Belgrade Papers Caustically Criticize
Great Britain for the Attitude
She Has Assumed.

Belgrade, June 22.-The position of the
ministry is becoming more unenviable
daily i'll consequence of the Russian ana
Austrian demands for the punishment OF
the assassins of King Alexander ana
Queen Draga. The terms of the Russian
note almost caused a panic among the
cabinet ministers, who are anXlouSly
awaiting the arrival of King Peter to eX-
tricate them from the dilemma. The war
minister is the paramount power IN the
ministry, as he is backed by the entlre
army and he threatens severe measures
in the case of punishment of the con-
spirat tors The promotions of officers sent
from Geneva are variously explained as
either intended as an open defiance or as
being the results of alarm caused by the
attitude of the army.
The foreign representatives who have
not been instructed are asking their re-
spective governments what attitude they
shall assume at the reception OF King
Peter. The Russian minister is in a
uuandary. He had resumed relations
with the provisional government when the
car telegraphed his recognition of King
Peter but the minister takes the subse-
ouent publication Of Russia's demand Tor
punishment as an indica ton that Russia
will possibly order the suspension OF re-
lations with the government until the
n1urderers are punished.
Meanwhile, preparations for the recep-
ton of King Peter continues A public
holiday has been proclaimed, provincial
deputati tons are coming to Belgrade, free
wine and beer are to be provided by the
government, and the town is to be given
up to rejoicing. -.
Scoffed at Britain.
A newspaper here makes scoffing al
1ustons to Great Britain's moral attitude
respecting the assassination. 1t says: 1T
is pity that countr yso enlightened and
so liberal has failed to see the purport OF
late events forced upon this country by
the tyrannous rule of King Alexander
The world will not forget that Great
Britain recently crushed the life out OF
two small nationafities."
The foreign representatives met yester-
day to decide upon their attitude on the
occasion Of King Peters arrival Wednes-
day. It is stated that there was such q
variance that decision could not be
reached and the representatives tele-
graphed to their respective governments

WHAT WILL THE
TRIAL DEVELOP?
Washington Politicians Now Are
Discussing Prospective Disclos-
ures Of the Machen Case.
It Is Said That Former Rural Super
intendent Was Congressmen's
Cats-paw.
Former Representative Loud Al
ready Implicated-0thers May
Expect a Like Fate.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, June 22.-The publication
Of the statement that Former Representa-
tive Loud, chairman Of the postoffce COM
mittee, assisted in railroading men into
the classified government service via, the
Bakersfield, CAL, route, has aroused live
ly discussion of the probable sensational
developments at the trial of Former Su-
perintendent Machen of the free delivery
service, which will be held next fall.
Interest in the character of Mr.. Mach
ems testimony is intensified by the fact
that Machen, when he read a published
interview in which Mr.. Loud roasted the
free delivery service In general and
Machen in particular, grew purple with
indignation and surprise and said:
by God, Loud dare not talk that way
about me. I'll put him on the bum. I've
got letters, letters, letters, and If, neces-
sary, I'll publish them in every paper in
the country" =
Whatever Mr.. ~Machen may have to say
with regard to Mr.. Loud when he. takes
the stand in his own defense, Is consid-
cred relatively unimports Mt compared
with the problematical character Of his
further testimony. The relations of Mr.;
Machen with numbers of senators and rep
resentatives and other prominent men
were known to be friendly, in some cases
even intimate.
Congressman Implicated.
They came to the superintendent of the
free delivery service for favors. Mr.
Machen was always obliging. The rura
free delivery service has been, without
doubt, the most popular branch of the
postal service, and is, therefore. an &C.
knowledged factor in establishing the pop.
ularity Of senators and repres entatives
among their constituents.
The investigation of the rural free de-
livery service up to the present time has
demonstrated that a considerable proper.
ton Of the rural routes established by
the former superintendent of the free de-
livery service are to all intents and pur'
poses practically worthless from every
point of view. The districts Of certain
