the anniversary Of the murder of
King Alexander and Queen Draga,
June II, approaches. public clamor
against the kings government and
particularly against King Peter him
self increases.
1t is nothing uncommon now for
the newspapers and politicians to
call on the king to abdicate. When
Peter appears on the streets it is to
see the sullen faces of the subjects
over whom he has ruled less than
two years and to hear their murmur-
fngs and even ribald shouts.
Bold characters in the streets dis
cuss his assassination and the Bel
grade newspaper, Pravda, has even
predicted it in thinly yelled language
by saying it fears that the anniver-
sary of the Alexander Draga murder
will not pass without bioodshed."
Another newspaper, the Narodni
Tisty, in Large type warns King Peter
to leave the country if he wishes to
save his life
The Opposizia compares his ma
jesty to a tramp who was never
meant to stay in one place.
Nearly every newspaper in Servia
denounces the king in more or less
severe tones.

er classes and the newspapers has
been aggravated within the last two

PHILADELPHIA, May 29.-With
the hand of the CRATER at its throat,
Philadelphia, corrupt but aroused, is
fighting for its life. 1t looks like the
end of gang rule is in sight.
The fight now is between the may
or, John Weaver, backed by the
aroused people, anH the gang of
grafters which rules the city, sup
ported by the United Gas Improve
ment company.
The people marched upon the coun-
ell and demanded that the gas works
be not sold to the gas trust The
people supposed the council was their
representative. The council disillu-
stoned them promptly. The council
was elected, not by the people, but
by the grafters. 1t being the repre-

sentative of the grafters, it did the
bidding of its masters.
The mayor then became the cham
pion of the people, and he is remov-
ing city officials right and left. AS
these city officials control some 80
600 political jobs. and as the men
who hold these jobs have much in
fluence on the council, the mayor
hopes to force them to do, through
fear, what they will not do for honor
and that is save the gas plant from
the trust.
The council proposed to lease the
plant to the trust for rs years, and
the lease fixed the price of gas at 81
per thousand for 25 years, and at
lesser sums, the lowest only so cents,
for the balance of the term.
