TO KILL KING PETER.
Plot Against Servia's Ruler Rumored
in Odessa

Special CablegraIn to The Star.
ODESSA, November u.--There are many
indications of widespread plot to dethrone
King Peter OF Servia. An ex-minfster of
Servia writing to friend in Odessa, de-
clares that the kings position becomes
more perllous every day. Conspirators are
at work, and they swear that King Peter
will be removed from the throne in one way
or another. The king is we'll aware of these
plots against his life. and he is anxious to
abdicate in favor of his son.
Weak and unstable as the present dis
tracted regime Is says the eX-minister,
'.thc kings abdication would, owing to the
character of the heir to the throne, be ca
lamitous for the country. The new king
reign would in all probability be very brief
and the end as tragic as that OF Alexander
0hrenovitch."
