PLANS OF AssAss|Ns
CAREFULLY PREPARED
Servian Nationalist Plot Matured in
Belgrade as Revenge for Blow
to Country's Aspirations.
DANGERS ARE INCREASING
Only Aged Emperor Has Been Able
b to Keep heterogeneous Elements
In Check, and His End Is Near.
Europe Alarmed.

London. June 2e.---The tragedy that
mas befallen the House of Hapsburg,
according to news renchinR London,
was the result of II carefully prepared
Scrvian nationalist plot In revenge for
tn" annexation of Bosnia md Herze-
govfna. which defeated the dreams
and aspirations OF creating n greater
Servin.
The assassins of the Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand and his wife have con-
Iessed that the plot was matured at
belgrade. Tho terrible event Is only
another illustration of how we'll 1usti-
lied Is the anxiety always present in
,he minds of European politicians and
diplomatiGts about the unstable condi-
ticns prevailing In tho Balkans and
even In the dual monarchy Itself
This anxiety Is considered likely to
Increase during the short period before
the aged Emperor, who alone Ia be-
heVed able to hold together the hete-
rogeheous components of the Austro-
hungarian empire, finally disappears
from the scene. He has been display
ing his customary strong character In
the face OF his latest bereavement and
seems In excellent health. Anti-Ser-
wan riots are already occurring I'm
various parts of Austria Hungary, as
we'll as ut SaraJevo.
| NEWSPAPERS FOMENT
HATRED OF AUSTRrANs
Servtan hatred of Austrians, which
always has been violent, has boon To-
mented by newspapers in Belgrade and
agitators throughout Servia and Bos-
hia, who have helped to iniame the
minds of the students and to induce
them to sacrifice their lives in the be
! lief that they will go down to history
as patriots.
Yesterdays crime seems likely to
nave contrary erect to that desired
BY Its authors. The Austrian authori-
alE6ndy Arm Nla fIr,cr
measures against the Serbs among the
Inhabitants OF Austria and Bosnia.
These measures are likely further to
emoitter relations between the two
countries. rs we'll as those between
Austria and Russia, tho protector of ali
tho Serbs.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, 1t Ia
asserted to-day. was we'll aware of
the danger he was running during hia
tour of Bosnia. The Servian minister
ut Vienna told the archduke Of the peril
or his visit to Sarajevo at the present
time. and tmplored him, even IL he In :
sisted on going there himself, at least
TO leave the duchess Mt home. The
ducheSS arrived Mt Saratevo on Satur-
day. and some signs of hostility were
shown Just before the couple passed
OF ServiRn flags which tho people had
hoisted instead of the Austrian colors.
The plans of tho assassins contem-
plated, II is said, the blowing up of the
royal train when the archduke and
ms wire were leaving Sarajevo. In case
tho attempt by. Gavrio Prinzip failed
1t was learned to-day that scverSl
bombs were found along the Saraioyo
Railway.

TO-DAY MARKS CLOSE
OF FULL FISCAL YEAR
Under First Twelve Mouths Of
Democratic Administration.
RECEIPTS ARE 1904, 5oS.oo7.a s
Heavy Returns Still to Be Made,
Which VIII Bring Total Up Sew
eral Millions Acknowledgements of
Income Taves Slow.

Washington, June 2s.-To morrow
marks the close OF the first full fiscal
year under the Democratic administra-
tion. Figures made public to-day
| showed that UP to and including last
Saturday tho governments receipts
had been 894.5o5. O07.23 as against
s69s. ALSO for the corresponding
period OF the last fiscal year.
To-day and tomorrow will add
heavy receipts. especially In corpora
tion ,nnd income tax assessments, which
arc delayed until the last moment
Receipts for corporations and Income
taxes aggregated s6,627.666.24 Satur-
day, making tho total collections from
| those sources for the year up to that
date S32,2S5 GS6S7. The Treasury De-
partment estimate of the amount to be
derived from those taxes Is $4,000, 900,
and If the experience OF last year Is
repeated, the final day for payment will
bring in half the total assessment.
Figures including Saturdays re-
ceipts. show the amount of money coll
lected from customs as S290.s91. 266.6 60
against s316,33S. 572.03 last year for the
corresponding period. The internal
revenue collections from ordinary
| sources SO far this year aggregate
*3O6.2G7. 1867 compared with s303.560
| 624.9S for tho preceding year. From
| uiisCeHdIeouS sources inc recelptS were
| $57.210,20T.42 against 60.661. 1854 for
| last year.
| The estimate OF Secretary afcAdoo of
the receipts for this fiscal year, made
in his annual report last year, was
s733.00o.000. Delay in tho payment OF
income tax doubtless Will mako It i'm
| possible to obtain definite figure on
the governments income for some time.
The total assessment returned on per-
| sonal Income tax Is S3o750.00o. or $780,
100000 less than Mr.. McAdoo expected
| to derive from that source. While
all these assessments probably will be
paid promptly. there Will be some delay
| in prosecuting the tax dodgers, from
which Mr.. McAdoo expects to collect
enough TO make up tho difference be-
tween his estimate and returns made
| by taxpayers.

RATE DECISION MAY Be
DELAYED MANY Weeks
Interstate Commerce Commission
Has Not Yet Reached Conclu-
sion as to Final Action.
SERIOUS sNAGs ENCOUNTERED
Shippers Have Presented Vast
Amount OF Evidence, Which Is I'm.
contradicted by Railroads Which
Make Pleas for More Revenue.

Washington. Juno 2e.-Indications
to-day were that the decision Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission on
the application of Eastern railroads
for per cent advance in freight rates
would not DO made public this week,
as had been expected generally. Tho
decision may not be announced for at
least two weeks and possibly not for
longer time than that, as II is known
that Some serious phases of the gen.
eral questions involved remain to be
settled before a conclusion can be
reached.
The suggestion has been made that
the commission might make n state
mont. preliminary to the completed de-
ciSion setting forth it's attitude. This
however. Is considered unlikely. It is
stated authoritatively that reports dur
Ing the last week or two purporting
to give the conclusions Of tho commis-
sion are founded only on conjectur,,
ana that the commission as yet actual
ny mas reached no final conclusions
Ono OF tho serious conditions which
mas been encountered is what has b,en
termed the lopsidedness' OF the record
OF the case. as respects certain COM
modities. For nearly q month, testi-
mony was taken by tho commission as
TO the reasonableness of the rates on
certain specified commodities. the evil
dence being given practically entirely
by shippers. Most OF tho witnesses
maintained either that existing rates
were too high or that they were fairly
reasonable. Every one protested
against an advance on his particular
commodity.
Counsel for tho railroads submitted
worry little testimony. In some instances
mono at all The result Is that tho
record as to these commodities is
strongly indicative of tho reasonable
ness Of existing rates.
1t Ia explained now by the railroadR
counsel that they were relying for 40
ton favorable to them upon their gem
oral evidence that they needed addi-
tionnl revenues. Doubt has arisen,
however, In the minds of the commits
sion as to whether, regardless OF any
conclusion on the railroads evidence
1t would be justified In making n hori-
zohtal advance In the face of uncon-
tradicted testimony OF the reasonable
ness OF certain specific rates.
That is only one OF the nnaRs which
the commission has struck in going
over tho evidence in this case. Diff
ferences OF opinion naturally have
arisen among the commissioners, and
while none appears to be insurmount-
able. all OF them require time to re-
solve.
Ordinarily tho commission takes a
recess for the summer about July l.,
but the situation of the pending cases
is such that the taking of the recess
will have 10 be postponed for some
time.

Standing of the Clubs

For the first time this year the La
mar league team is below the top of
the league standing. There are sew
eral causes for this. First and most
important they did't make enough
runs in last Sundays game; second,
Las Animas postponed the July 4th
game and we have played one less
than Rocky Ford land third the uncom-
pleted game of May 31st is still
still counted against us although three
innings are yet to be played The last
two would not have affected our po-
sition if Lamar had won Sunday, SO
that is the principal cause.
1t was badly crippled team that
went up to Rocky Ford on Sunday
and the changes made necessary in
the lineup owing to regulars being out
of the game resulted in a badly brok
en- up infeld. This coupled with the
fact that Fred Littler. the regular
pitcher, was badly under the weather
himself made the game rather easy
for Rocky Ford, but as it is the first
they have been able to win from our
boys out of four tries we look for
reversal Of the score on next Sunday.
Rocky Ford took the lead in the
first inning with three runs and La
mar was never able to catch them. In
the eighth inning Bud Litter took
Fred's place in the box and with Cole
man catching stopped Rocky Ford's
scoring. Lamar started its usual last
inning rally but it did not last long.
The box score tells the story as fol-
lows:

More HOlsteins

The Helvetia Co. shipped 125 fine
Holsteins from Highlands, Illinois,
this week to ]. M. Williams & Son.
They arrived here Monday and by
Tuesday evening all had been taken.
Fred Noble took seventy for the A. b.
S. Co. ranches and the balance were
taken by N. N. Mclean and Williams
& Son for their ranch. 1t was fine
lot of cows, and only the extreme
drouth in that section would have in
duced the farmers to let them go. The
company is trying to see that all go
to sections where they have factories.
The situation has become so acute
there that from five to ten cars of al
falfa are shipped from this locality to
them every day.

Coming In

The stream Of wheat is already be-
ginning to arrive at the mill and the
various elevators. Practically the
whole crop has been cut and the
threshing outfits are all now busy
working at the big job Of threshing
it. The reports from the various out
fits show that the yield is big and
promises a crop averaging over 40
bushels to the acre. In the meantime
the farmers no sooner finished the
work Of cutting the wheat than they
had to start in on the second crop of
alfalfa which is now ready to be cut.
1t is certainly busy time for them,
and makes itself very noticeable in
town also by the big falling off in
numbers seen on our streets.

came a necessity if anything was to
