KING PETER |. IN SERVIA
Diplomats Ignore Him, But Peoples
Reception is Enthusiastic.
It 10 Said, Though, That Onicers Goaded
Them to Shout "Long 1.-Two the
Ktng".Gaysty In Belgrade.

Belgrade, Servia.-King Peter. on his
arrival here, was received with great
enthusiasm. The King, who wore the
uniform Of Servian general and
looked grave and almost nervous. de-
scended from his car amid fanfare
of trumDets. He shook hands with
Premier Avakumovitch, who ended q
powerful speech Of welcome with call
ing for cheers for King Peter, to which
the crowd responded with enthusiasm.
The King read his answer to the Pre-
mier's welcome In low tones, thanking
him and promising to do his utmost for
the good Of the kingdom.
Replying to an address Of welcome
delivered by NJ. Paulovitch, member
Of the Communal Council. King Peter
said he would see to 1t that Belgrade
became worthy centre Of Servian life.
The only foreign representative who
participated in the reception were the
Russian Minister. NJ. Tcharykoff. and
the Austrian Minister, Herr Dumba-
After the mass the Metropolitan made
q short address. He said Gods guild
ance was evident in everything, and
prayed God to grant King Peter the
mower to rule wisely and we'll. spe-
cial prayer for the King was offered,
and the choir chanted the old Gregor-
ian "Kyrie Eleison" ("Lord Have Mer-
cy.w
The King approached the Aetropoli-
tan and kissed his hand as tribute OF
the temporal to the spiritual power,
and the congregation burst into hearty
cries of Long live the King"
It was evident the new monarch was
affected deeply by the ceremony, and
his manner as he left the church con-
veyed the impression that he mad come
to some momentous resolution during
his self-communing before the altar.
The Kings procession moved at q
brisk trot to the new palace. The King
entered the state ballroom, where the
members Of the Skupshtina presented
him with an address Of welcome. In
reply King Peter remarked that he
could only repeat what he had said at
the railroad station-that he would do
his best to rule in accordance with the
constitution.
King Peter advanced to the Deputies
and shook handS WITH eacn OF tuem'
but he did not utter word.
After luncheon the King held con-
ference with the Ministers and dis
cussed the situation. He dined quietly
and witnessed the torchlight procession
in the evening.
There are no lack Of persons convers-
ant with the inner life Of the Servtan
capital who say the apparently univer-
sal enthusiasm was a cleverly "stage
managed" demonstration, and that
many expressions Of regret were ut
tered privately, and that except for the
mounted officers who circulated among
the crowds. commanding the people to
cheer for King Peter. much Of the out
ward signs Of rejoicing would have
been absent.

FORCED RELEASE OF coRWELL:
Five thousand Delawareans Demanded
Alleged Lyncher's Discharge.

Five Thousand Delawareans DEMANDED
Alleged Lyncher's Discharge.
Wilmington, Del.-An angry mob Of
5000 persons, threatening to storm the
city Jail here, forced the authorities to
release Arthur 'Corwell, who was under
arrest charged with the leadership of
the crowd which burned at the stake
George White, the negro, who brutaly
assaulted and killed Helen Bishop on
June 10.
The verdict of the Coroner's Jury,
which found that White died at the
hands of persons unknown, made pos
sible this release. and just as soon
as it was known that this verdict held
no person responsible for Whites
death Attorney-General H. II. Ward
caught at the straw and ordered Cor
wells release On $4,000 bail. 1t was i'm
mediately Forthcoming, and Corwell
was freed just as the mob began get
ting desperate.
This speedy action undoubtedly
aveTted bloodshed, for the mob was
growing more threatening each minute.
AS it was, there was great disorder
and the Police Department had all 1t
could do to preserve order. Crowds Of
men and boys numbering from fifty to
200 each marched here and there sing
ing and cheering. celebrating the re-
lease Of Corwell and the popular YER
dict of the Coroners Jury.
The belief Is growing here that no
one will ever be punished for the
lyrching of White. Certain prominent
citizens. although they deplore the oc.
currence, stand ready to raise fund
for the defense Of any one who should
be prosecuted for the offense.
Officials and leading citizens seem to
be agreed that the best thing to be
done in view Of the volcanic condition
Of the public mind Is to let the matter

DOUGAL. FOUND GUILTY
Sentenced to Death For the Moat
House Murder.
Ths Body Of wealthy Miss Holland Was
Discovers in Ditch or Her
Own Property.

London.-The Moat House murder
trial, which has created more sensation
than any in recent years in England,
ended with the passing Of the Death
sentence at the Chelmsford Assizes on
Samuel Herbert Dougal for the murder
of Miss Camille Cecile Holland, wom-
an with whom he lived at the Moat
House. near Saffron W alden, Essex.
The prisoner maintained an immovable
stoicism almost to the last stage Of the
proceedings, listening apparently un-
moved to the accumulation Of circum-
stantial evidence which was brought
against him.
The evidence presented was simply q
repetition of the testimony at the in
quest, after the finding Of the body Of
four years after her mysterious disap-
pearance.
To the surprise Of everyone, counsel
for the defense announced that he
would not call any witnesses, not even
Dougal, who had previously asserted
that he intended to testify in his own
behalf.
His counsel, in bis address, dwelt up
on the alleged incohclusiveness Of the
evidence. but the jury. after an absence
of fifty-five minutes, brought in a ver-
dict Of guilty, and the judge, assuming
the black cap, sentenced the prisoner TO-
death by hanging without commenting
on the verdict.
Dougal, who was pale, remained
silent when asked If he had anything
to say.
Miss Holland was the aged and
wealthy owner of Moat House, Saffron
Walden, Essex. About four years ago
Dougal, who was supposed to be her
husband, appeared upon the scene ac-
companied by a woman whom he In
troduced as his sister, but who after
ward proved to be his wife. Shortly
afterward Miss Holland disappeared.
Dougal was subsequently arrested for
cashing a check purporting to have
been signed by Miss Holland. This
created suspicion. and search was
made for Miss Hollands body. 1t was
found last April in a ditch on the
grounds. A bullet wound in the head
showed the cause of death.

There can be no greater offense
against the Government than q breach
Of trust on the part Of public official

be exerted to bring such offenders to
punishment by the utmost rigor Of the

therefore, that If you cannot detail

special assistants in these postoffice

which indictments have been found,
or hereafter may be found, but to ex-
anime into all charges that hare been
