London Receives the News.

London, March 1S.-The official world at London and the general pub- lie were startled this evening by terse message from Saloniki, announc- ing the assassination Of the King oi Greece.
 Interest in the troubled Balkans has been waning of late, but the news of this wholly unexpected tragedy caused an instant and immense sensa- ton. It was not generally known that the King of Greece still was at Saloni- Ri as nothing had been heard of his movements for several days.
 Concern regarding details of the assassination was intense but as the hours passed and no further news reached Eondon 1t became evident that af rigid censorship was being maintained by the army administra- ton. The strained relations between the Greek and Bulgarian contingents at Saloniki gave grounds for fears that the assassination of King George might have been incident to clash between the allies; but a message re- ceived at midnight dispelled such ap- prehensions by identifying the assas- sin as a Greek degenerate. Another dispatch referred to him as dement, ed
 The British foreign office, Marl- borough House, where the Queen Mother Alexandra, sister of the dead king, is residing. and the Greek lega- ton were beseiged by reporters but no one at these places had any in formation except the newspaper bull letins until nearly 10 o'clock. The king and queen of England are stopping at Windsor castle, and the first official confirmation of the trag- edy came to the foreign office in a dispatch from Prince Nicholas at Sa- lonili and was transmitted to Wind sor and Marlborough house and then given to the public. This despatch announced that the king had been shot and had died in half an hour. Another telegram reporting similarly was received from the Greek adminis- trator at Saloniki.
 Earlier in the evening the press
 message had been communicated to the King and the Queen Mother as a rumor.
 The greatest sympathy is felt for Queen Alexandra. King George of
 Greece was her favorite brother. She 1 only recently suffered another al though less tragic blow, in the death of her brother. King Frederick of Den
 mark. The Princess Victoria broke the news to her and, because of the uncertainty, she was able to hope thai the report was not true But it was soon confirmed by an

HUMAN HAIR DEALERS HANG BIG ONE ON WEALTHY NEW
 YORK BANKERS.

New York, March 19.--Antonio Mus ica and his son, Phillip, dealers i'll human hair, with branches and con nections all over the world, were in dleted here this afternoon on charge of defrauding ]. and W.

The transaction District Attorney Whitman asserts, is but one of many through which the Musicas have defrauded 22 American and foreign banks out of about sl,- 000000.
 Father and son, it is believed have fled the city. Detectives today ex- pressed the belief that they are bound for South America and will be appre. hended within 24 hours at Key West or New Orleans. Antonio Musicals daughters, Louise and Grace, also have disappeared.
 On the Fabre Line pier here are 28S cases of human hair consigned by the Musicas to merchants in Eu- rope. This hair, the Musicas claimed five days ago, was of the finest qual- lIN OH tnt iHtS biiic0 " s'e top figures and on the strength Of these invoices, it is claimed obtained from bankers invoices covering the full value of the cases of at least a portion of the shipment. How much of the S600,000, which this shipment is worth, according to their figures was collected from bankers, the dis trict aftornev had not determined this afternoon.
 But the cases told different story from the invoices when opened. The entire shipment experts say, was worth about what it would cost to haul away.
 The specific offense charged in the indictment is that the Musicas through their corporation, the United States hair company, obtained or

Contrary to general belief, vegeta

are reported.
This is particularly true in connec

worth the effort.
In the case of Peerless potato, s.
