will be on in earnest by tomorrow

the convention for discussion and set
Element are of paramount Importance
and far removed from the groove of
routine business usually transacted at
gatherings of the kind. Then, again,
there will be numerous spectacular
features, including parade, band

expected to be a factor in the attend-

The great central question to be
fought out in the convention-one that
is likely to result in prolonged and
heated discussion and possibly lead to
/ stringing out of the sessions beyond
the weeks limits the readjustment

BELGRADE, June 13-Theodore-
witch, a member of the late King AL
exander's cabinet, died today OF
wounds received during the assassina-
tion of King Alexander. King Charles
of Roumania, honorary colonel OF the
Sixth Servian regiment, which headed
the revolt, has severed his connection
with that regiment, because the regi-
ment gave such horrible proof of lack
of military honor"

Switzerland There is big following

cles"
The report that the Servian garri-
son at Nisch was marching on Bel
grade to avenge the murder of the
monarch is not true.

not fully developed and showed weak
ness. Alexander left three hundred
thousand dollars, one-third of this
amount being on deposit in Brussels

RALPH SMALLEY TAKES TWO
SHOTS AT ED. LAZARUS

Ralph Smalley enlivened the upper
end of Main avenue about IL O'Clock
this forenoon by firing two shots at
Ed. Lazarus, evidently with deadly in
tent The trouble took place in the
Pierce Bros restaurant Il. j. Benja-
min, who was ar eyewitness. gives
the following. He (BenjaminD was
eating at the lunch counter on the
right hand side OF the entrance. Op-
posite him was Ed Lazarus, who was
indulging in a late breakfast. While
they were eating Mr. Benjamin MOTTO
ed Smalley walking up and down in
front of the restaurant. ,hWen Lazar-
us finished his meal he started to
leave the place and about as he
reached the entrance Ralph stepped
up to the door and fired point blank at
him. The ball, however. went wild
Lazarus then ducked TO the right side
of the restaurant. Smalley sending a
second ball after him, this time taking
effect in the ankle. The ball came
dangerously close to Benjamin.
Lazarus escaped through the back
entrance while Smalley went and gave
himself up to the sheriff While not
serious Lazarus viii have a sore an
kle and maybe stiff one. as the bone
was slightly fractured. The injury
was dressed by DIR. Lackey.
Mr. Lazarus. in response to a query
from representative of The Herald.
says he is at a loss to know why
Smalley should desire to kill him.
He says he has had no trouble with
the man, although the latter has at
tempted to have rows several times.
on the other hand Smalley said to a
reporter that Lazarus mad told some
of his old customers that he was
partner of Smalley, etc. 1t seems the
two had some trouble last night with
the result that Smalley opened fire
this morning.
Smalley is in the county jail and
will probably have a hearing this
evening or on the first of the coming
