FIRING ON CAR
STILL A MYSTERY
Military Authorities and the
Secret Police Investigating
the Incident
BELIEVE It WAS A PLOT

st. Petersburg Jan. 20.--Until the
military authorities and the secret po-
lice get to the bottom of the firing Of
grape-shot upon the Car and the Inn
perial family yesterday--if they ever
do so-the affair will be officially class
ed as an accident. But accidents" Is
an elastic word, and the impression
prevails that It might be more accur-
ately applied to the failure TO kill the
Car than to the loading OF the gun
that sent the deadly shot rafting
around the nations ruler
At all events. the incident is a mys-
terry. II It was a plot no one has been
directly connected with It as yet. II
accident. as the official reports say, no
responsibility has been placed. The
most remarkable feature OF the entire
affair, whether conspiracy or careless
ness, is that the most noted regiment
Of the Guards. outside OF the historic
Preobajensly Regiment. was engaged
In it. Some OF the best names IN the
Empire are on its rolls. It's blood Is
OF the bluest in Muscovy, and here
tofore is loyalty has been unquesioned.
The officers and men OF the battery
have not been arrested, but are con-
fined to barracks. and by the military
regulations are so closely under re-
straint that It IS impossible for the
culprit or culprits TO escape until the
responsibility is determined.
Official Report.
The official account Of the affair Is as
follows:
During the ceremony OF the blessing
Of the waters Of the Neva, in the pres
ence Of the Emperor. as the usual sa-
| lutte was being fired an accident hap
pened. A charge OF grape instead OF
a saluting charge was fired from gun
belonging to one Of the batteries sta
toned near the Bourse. Some bullets
struck the facade OF the winter palace
near the quay gardens. breaking -four
windows.
"A policeman belonging to the st
Petersburg force was wounded Ac-
cording to the information TO hand al
present no other accident occurred. In
quiry continues"
Think II Was a Plot.
London, Jan. 2O-The Londor
papers today and their st. Petersburg
correspondents take the gravest view
