RENOUNCES CLAIM
TO SERVIAN THRONE
Crown Prince George Steps Out as
Result of Charge That He Killed
a Servant.

Belgrade. March 25-George, crown
prince of Servia, has renounced his
right to succession to the Servian
throne. The action is the result of
a bitter press campaign in which the
crown prince is accused of the death
of one of his servants, man named
Kolakovitz.
The servant, Kalakovits, was remov-
ed to a hospital last week suffering
from serious internal injuries, and
died after the operation. According
to the report of the doctors who per-
formed an autopsy, the man suffered
from hernia, and death was due to a
serious injury consequent upon falling
down stairs. The press and public,
however, refused to accept this ex-
planation and openly voiced their sus-
|picions the crown prince was respon-
sible for the death of the servant.
The scandal grew to such proper
tions that it was impossible to hush it
up The, final outcome was the SEN
sational announcement of the crown
prince to the premier. 1t is reported
the servant, before death, asserted the
injuries had been inflicted by the
lprince.
There have been many previous re
ports of the brutalities of the hair

grade after the murder of King Alex
ander and Queen Draga in 1903.

Yesterday in Congress

Washington, March 25-Following is
a summary, compiled from the official
proceedings, of the work of both
houses of congress yesterday.
SENATE-The senate was not in ses-
sion.
HOUSE Declaring, among other
things. that a mistake was made in
the Payne tariff bill in not arranging &
the revision on the basis of raising rev.
enue only on every item. Mr.. Clark of
Missouri, the minority leader, held the
attention of the house for more than
five hours in discussing the measure.
incidentally, he pointed out that much
time would have been saved in the con-
|sideration of the bill had the demo-
cratic members of the committee been
consulted about the various provisions
of the proposed law. Mr.. Clark spoke
in characteristic style. and frequently
moved the house to applause and laugh
ter. AT the conclusion of his remarks
he received an ovation from his demo
lcratic colleagues. He was followed by
Messrs. Washburn of Massachusetts
and Adamson of Georgia, the former at
tacking the Inheritance tax provision
| of the bill, while Mr.. Adamson opposed
the erection of tariff wall so high al
to prevent the people of the Unite,
Estates buying in all the markets of tn
world as well as disposing of their sur
lplus products. At 5:13 p. m. the hous
adjourned.

Fordney were given carte blanche to

Cut to Revenue Basis.
There was, he declared, no question
of free trade involved in the revision
In the present posture of affairs, he
argued, every approximately prohibit

basis. There were many of them in
the Dingley bill, a large portion OF
which, he said, were retained in the

had been cut in two, being reduced
from $7.S4 to 1892 ton, but he pre-
dicted that the Payne rate would
prove just as prohibitive as the higher

Plan Now Afoot to Force
Another Advisory Vote

AIDED BY GOVERNOR
Hopkins Men Declare Denen's
Refusal Was to Avoid
disgrace"

Springfield, ILL.,, March 25.-Througn
the morning there was much discus
sion among the members OF the legls-
lature of the events of the prolonged
balloting yesterday. 1t was freely
stated the refusal of Deneen to accept
the senatorship if il was given to him
had encouraged the Hopkins men, and
that plans are being made by the Hop
kins forces to prolong the deadlock
through the session on the argument
that if it could disgrace" the COVER
nor to become a candidate it would
equally disgrace" the other promi-
nent politicians to enter the race.
Back to the People.
Should the deadlock continue over
the session there would be an oppor-
tunity to submit the senatorship to
the people for another advisory vote
next spring in the primaries.
Result of Ballot.
The 61st ballot for senator resulted:
Hopkins, "A.
Foss, II.
Shurtleff, 10.

Balloting will be resumed next Tues
day.
Deneen Dodses Honor.
Spring ngfield, ILL.,, March 25.-GOver-
nor Charles S. Deneen refused a seat
in the United States senate yesterday
and then came out into the open and
took a hand in the deadlock business
himself Yesterday he could have had
all of the republican votes in the gen,
eral assembly but Is. Instead he
clamped a paddock on this deadlock
temporarily, and all his friends be-
lieve that he intends to throw the key
into the reservoir.
The deadlock is one OF the handiest
bludgeons he ever had in his fine col
lection of maulS. He is thoroughly
convinced if he can't force his '"holy
alliance" and "band of hope" member:
to vote for former Senator Hopkins
he at least can keep them bound to
gether and thus hold the balance o
power in the deadlock.
So long, also, as the deadlock is on
the governors friends understand tha
the governor believes he will stand /;
much better show of getting the leg
islation he wants.
Deneen's Club Aids Hopkins.
AS the situation stands, it is les
islative deadlock rather than sena
torial deadlock, for, although Mr.. HoI
kins maintained his vote of Is on 1
tortuous joint ballots yesterday, h
held them because Governor Denee
dubbed them into submission an
forced them to desist in the plan t
elect him senator.
Temporarily it is now a deadlock b.
tween Governor Deneen on the on
hand, who wants the deadlock to COZ
tinue, and the anti-Hopkins and som
of the Hopkins men on the other han'
who would like to see it smashed.
For the purpose of the legislatiy
deadlock as distinguished from tf
purely senatorial deadlock, Governt
Deneen thinks he can rely on abol
46 members of the original 'band
hope" of the house For the purpo:
of naming a senator, he cannot deper
upon all of the 46, but for the legisl
tive tie-up he may, for time at leas

vESPER SERVICES At
STETSON UNIVERSITY

Last Sunday the vesper service
at Stctson University was largely
attended, as usual. Not only was
the main auditorium filed, but the
galleries also were opened.
Mrs Shackleford, President Of
the Woman's Club of the State Of
Florida, the guest of Mrs. Wideman,
was in the audience. There were
many other distinguished visitors
there.
The subject of the address was
"Thc Importance Of seeking first
Of all The Kingdom Of God. y
Emphasis was laid on putting tie
FIRST thing first Many people do
not do this:They elevate secondary
matters into places of supreme i'm
portancc. In doing this they make
failures of themselves, Every life
is a plan of God, but every person
must work out that plan for himself,
He cannotdoitby pursuingb bubbles,
or by blowing bubbles. Inc Ming
dom of God should be the main
thing in every persons life. 1t is
the significant thing in each person S
life.
Next Sunday the revival
services begin in DcLand. The
Vcsper service will be planned in
harmony with the revival spirit,
A philosophical presentation of the
subject of revivals will be present,
Every year Stctson has emphasized
special religious services for its
students. 1t offers no apology for
doing this. 1t does not do it on
any little narrow two by four basis
it does not do it in the interest of
any sectarianism. 1t does it be-
cause religion is universal religion
is of God; religion is necessary to
every normal life. The vesper
services are held every Sunday in
the Auditorium beginning at 4
o'clock, and everybody is invited
to attend them.
