RECICIDE
King Peter, of Servia, Is Re-
ported Assassinated.

Paris, Sept. 1S.-An unconfirmed ru-
NOR was circulated on the bourse here
today that King Peter of Servia had
been assassinated.
The foreign office has no intimation
regarding the rumored assassination of
the king of Servia. The report reached
the bourse here through an agency dis
patch from Antwerp saying a report
that the king had been assassinated
was current there and it caused con-
siderable excitement and depression on
the bourse, owing to the absence of
official information The report was
eventually attributed to the excited
conditions prevailing at Belgrade The
evening newspapers here published the
report but did not attach any serious
ness to it
Official advices from Belgrade indicate
that King Peters recent retirement OF
Colonel Nichtich from the important
position of departmental chief in the
ministry for war is the beginning OF II
movement looking TO the separation OF
King Peter from the conspirators who
took part in the assassination of King
Alexander and Queen Draga. Nicntich,
the leader of the conspiracy, was con-
spicuously honored and is now degraded
as the result of widespread indignation
at the favor shown by the king towards
the participants in the assassination.
The Temps Belgrade correspondent says
the elections for members of the sKup-
shtena next Monday promise to result
in a majority favorable to the separa-
ton of the king from the regicides.
Servian bonds fell one franc, 20 cen
times.
London, Sept IS.-While definite in
formation is still lacking the rumor in
