KING PETER HAS INDICATED THRONE Illness Given As Reason-Was Made King By Officers Who Murder
 ed His Predecessor.

BELGRADE, Servia, June 25-King Peter, of Servia, today abdicated the throne in favaor of his eldest son, the crown prince, Alexander. The announcement was made today from the palace and the king stated that he was laying aside the cares of state because of continued i'll health.
 King Peter has been on the throne since the night of June 10, 1903, when a number of army officers murdered King Alexander and Queen Draga and proclaimed Peter as king. He was crowned in October. 1904. but the, royal families of Europe never re- ceived him or his queen because @of the belief that he was concerned in the murder. They did. however, re- cognfze his government rather than have continued unrest in. the Balkans.
 The salary allowed by parliament for the king is t.35.o 900 and 'ths pal. ace is kept up by the government.

 American government also has many claims for damages because of the murder of our citizens in Mexico and those injured while on the border,
 when the rebels frequently shot across the line into the United States. The American mining companies. the Southern Pacific Railroad, the Stand ard Oil Company and all the other corporations are to be reimbursed at the expense of the Mexican taxpay- CTS for the loss caused by the rebels.

.TeIephohes From Helena That Hs -. Will Return As Soon Az the Po-
 lice Can Give Him Protection.

BUTTE, Mont, June 25.-President Mover, of the Western Federation of Miners, who fled from this city be- cause of the attack made upon him and his associates by the members of the newly organized union, tele- phoned today from Helena;7 where he has sought refuge. that he will re- turn in few days just as soon as the police of this city can assure him of protection from the attacks of the w. w. workers and agita- tors. ~ 't
 The conditions here are no better than yesterday and the police fear to make arrests because the miners will attack the jails and liberate the prisoners, as they have done on sev- eral occasions. No arrests have been made because of the dynamiting of Union hall by the new union. The building is complete wreck.
 But few of the mines are work ing full crews, as the men prefer to remain on the streets watching the many fights than to go below in the mines. The mine owners threaten to import men to take the place of those who do not report and should they carry out the threat the situation will only be further complicated.

Athletic Club Rifle Shooter
Accomplishes Feat for
First Time in History
of Rifle Shooting
OTHER MEMBERS OF
RIFLE TEAM ALSO
PILE UP GOOD SCORE
Evans and Starnes Barely Miss Get
ting Into Hall of Fame-Highest
Total of Season Scored Yes
terday Against Milwau-
kee Team

For the third consecutive time, T. X.
Lee of the Birmingham Athletic club
scored a possible" yesterday morning
on the clubs rifle range thereby setting
a new worles record for consecutive
rifle shooting. Last Sunday Lee made
his second consecutive possible, or
perfect score. tieing the worlds record
and yesterday morning he set a new one.
All during the past week club members
have been anXiously awaiting to see
whether he could successfully break the
worlds record and so yesterday their
hopes that he would were fulfilled.
The remarkable shooting of Lee marks
him as a gunner of the highest calibra
and from present indications he has an
almost unlimited future before him on
the rifle range
Nearly a year ago Lee first gained no.
toriety by equaling the worlds record for
hitting moving targets and he now has
undisputed claim on a worlds champion
ship.
Following in the steps of Lee the re-
naming members of the Athletic club
rifle team have taken brace and their
score now rank favorably with those of
other teams in the league. The local
team got off to a bad start, due to lack
of practice and unfamiliarity with new
guns and sights, but it has now hit its
stride and will make its presence in the
league fully known.
Including Lee, five members of the club
team shot against Milwaukee yesterday
and the highest total that has been made
this season was scored The five piled
up a total of 800 points next TO the high
est score that has been made in the
class a. of the rifl- league this year.
Starnes and Evans were second among
the shooters with score of 199 each,
missing a possible" by only one point
Finn scored 1877, while Wingo brought up
the rear with 1875. This makes an average
OF 1928, an average never before made
at the Athletic club.
