by the deed of yesterday, which Will
not die for years in the public mind.
The commander Of the troops had TO
stand in the market place late this
afternoon, in front of his massed
forces, and say to the peoples:
''If you love your Emperor, then 20
quietly to your homes"
Two bombs were thrown during the
day-one by youth standing on a
corner of the main street. The only
damage done was to passing Mus
sulman, but the rougher element in
the crowd seized the chance, and in a
few minutes hundreds of Croatian stu
dents Joined the throng and passed
through the streets, stoning the win
dows of Servian shops, clubs and
schools and footing the houses. With
a huge picture of the Emperor at the
head of the procession they attacked
everything Servian, singing the Aus
trian national anthem as they swung
through the thoroughfares. An over
whelming force Of soldiers met them
and turned them back, but the pro-
cession formed again.
This time it ceased its pillsge and
attack, and black flags and pictures of
the dead archduke and duchess began
to appear. Speeches were made at the
scene of the tragedy and the people
knelt and prayed reverently for the life
of the Emperor and the souls Of the
two dead persons. There was a dis
play of intense emotion. Many wept
and sobbed cloud.
At 8 O'Clock in the afternoon martial
law was proclaimed and soldiers were
set at every public point. The town
quoted down, willy-nilly. The eXecu-
tive of the Diet posted manifesto
throughout the city denouncing the
crime and expressing loyalty to the
Hapsburg dynasty.
Gabrinovics, VINO hurled the bomb at
the automobile, admitted 10 the police
that he was in Belgrade a short time
ego, and while there obtained bombs
for the sole purpose of trying TO kill
the archduke. He also confessed that
he was expelled from Sarsjevo two
years ago, but was recently allowed TO
return through the intervention of
Socialist member of the Bosnian Diet.
Gayrio Prinzips, who shot the arch
duke and duchess, said he returned
from Belgrade only recently, with
firm purpose to kill some Austrian Of
fetal. ain order to avenge Servia's
wrongs" as he put it. He declared he
knew nothing of Gabrinovics's intent,
and that when the bomb exploded he
was so bewildered and so excited he
missed an opportunity to fire at the
archduke when he drove past the first
time.
Members of Servian Church.
Both prisoners said they were natives
of Bosnia and members of the orthodox
Servian Church. 1t is confidently be-
lieved the men not only had accom-
plices. but that their deed was care
fully planned by more scheming and
intelligent heads than theirs. Several
persons suspected of completely have
been arrested.
The bodies of the archduke and
duchess were embalmed after death
masks had been taken, and were later
placed on a catafalque in the chapel OF
the palace. Flowers were banked high
Oh every side.
The bodies of the arehduke and
duchess were removed from the cats-
falque in the palace at 6 o'clock this
evening by officers after thousands OF
people had viewed them. The passage
of the collins to the special train was
made the occasion for much ceremo-
NAL. They were escorted by detach-
ments of troops, the band playing the
dead march. A salute of twenty-fOur
guns was fired from the fort as the
eortege started.
The Governor of Bosnia, the civic
officials and members of the clergy
marched in the procession. The crowds
were bare headed all along the route
to the station. When the collins were
placed on the train the troops fired
volleys, and the train started for Met
koviteh amid the roar of guns and the
strains of the national anthem.
Several hundred persons are in Jail
tonight as a result of the riots during
the day, among them Athanasius Sofa.
president of the Seryian group in the
Bosnian Diet. Soldiers guard the pris-
ons, for it is feared that there may be
an attempt to release the Serbs and
lynch them. The fury of the mob was
so intense this morning that the regi-
mental colonies are wary Of further
outbreaks.
The rioters consisted for the most
part of Moslems of the lowest class.
They looted shops, throwing the con-
tents into the streets, and invaded pri-
vate dwellings. The residence of a
rich Sesvian, NJ. Jestanovich. the step
father of the Servian Minister to Rus
STA, was pillaged and all the furniture
of the Hotel Europe, belonging 10 tes-
tanovich. was smashed. The hotel om-
nibus, carriages and sledges in the sta
bles were damaged beyond repair.

nounced out Of danger, while the injury
