KING PETER Is
HIS Own GUARD
First Act Is to Remove His
Name CONSUMPTION List
CARRIES BOMBS WITH HIM
Is Great Fighter Using Both
Fists and Feet in Strife

Belgrade, July 11.-One Of the first gov.
eminent acts of the new King was to re-
move his name from the list of persons
billed to be executed the moment they
are caught. He had been on the list since
1868 and had to be very careful not tc
enter Servian territory. The King also
was pleased to restore TO himself his real
estate confiscated by Milan, among other
parcels several degrade houses.
Peter is not easily surprised by dyna-
mite bombs. When driving. he has a
few in a side pocket Of the carriage. and
half a dozen or more are always on his
writing desk disguised as match boxes,
cigar holders and the like.
IF Alexander had had two or three OF
these things beside his bed on the fatal
night, he could have denied any number
of conspirators," said the King to the
mayor of Belgrade.
Whether Peter is good bomb thrower
remains to be seen. That he is an ex-
pert shot and fighter with fists and feet
he repeatedly proved; in fact he was
made King of Swiss sharpshooters dozens
of times. Boxing with the feet is a spe-
cialty of his which he learned in France.
where he is called 'savate." A little
while ago while returning home late to
his apartment in Paris. he was accosted
by two footpads. While boxing one of
the fellows into Inconsistencies with his
lists, he kicked the other so severely that
he has been a. cripple and a charge on
the community ever since.
Peter was disappointed to find the old
Konak still in state of disorder. Three
Gays after the murder, the provisional
government ordered the mirrors and
window glass replaced 642 window panes
and 80 mirrors. There was not enough
mirror glass in Belgrade TO supply the
demand and Vienna and Budapest were
slow in filling orders.
The condition of the palace proves that
the royal pair We're actually chased from
living rooms to roof through a long sue
cession OF apartments. There are bullet
holes and evidences of violence every
where.
The King ordered the window through
which the bodies of Alexander and Draga
were flung closed forever. 1t is a small
window overlooking the front garden and
the woodwork inside and out is deeply
stained with blood that refuses to come
off. The King is unwilling to have paint
put on, fearing to draw attention to the
window, so the blood must remain. a
dreadful reminder of the night that gave
Peter his crown.
