nand and the Duchess of Hohenberg
was of the most carefully planned ever
carried out against royalty.
Indications from the scene of the
tragedy showed that it was engineered
by persons possessing more mature
organizing ability than that Of the
youthful assassin. 1t is generally
thought in Austria and Hungary that
the plotters had their headquarters in
Belgrade. the Servian capital.
Servian hatred of Austrians, which
always has been violent. has been
fomented by the newspapers in Bel
grade and by agitators thru Servia and
Bosnia, who have helped to inflame the
minds of the students and to induce
them to sacrifice their lives in the be-
lief they will go down in history as
patriots.
To Have Contrary Effect.
Yesterdays crime seems likely to
have contrary effect to that desired
by its authors. Even before the bodies
of the murdered couple have been in
tered the Austrian authorities are con-
templating. severe measures against
the Serbs in Austria and Bosnia. These
measures are likely further to EN-
bitter the relations between the coun-
tries as we'll as those between Aus
tria and Russia, the protector Of all
the Serbs.
King George to Be Represented.
London, June 29.-The Duke of Teck,
accompanied by small military mis-
sion, including a field marshal of the
British army. will represent King
George at the funeral OF Archduke
Francis Ferdinand.
Knew Of Danger.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, it is
asserted today. was well aware OF the
danger he was running during his tour
of Bosnia. which he undertook as in
spector general of the forces of the em-
pire. This title was conferred on him
last year by Emperor Francis Joseph.
His chief task was to inspect the
Austrian army which guarded the
Servian frontier during the recent
Balkan wars and prevented any en-
croachments by Servian troops.
The Servian minister at Vienna told
Archduke Francis Ferdinand Of the
peril Of his visit to Sarajove at the
present time and implored him even If
he insisted on going there himself at
least to leave the duchess at home.
Duchess Takes Risk.
When the Duchess Of Hehenberg was
informed. however, of the dangerous
nature of the journey the archduke was
about to take. she said her place was
at her husbands side.
When the archduke and the duchess
arrived at Sarajevo on Saturday some
signs Of hostility were shown by the
Serb portion Of the population. Just
before the couple passed thru the city
the authorities succeeded in getting rid
of great display of Servian hags
which the people had hoisted instead OF
flying the Austrian colors.
Feeling. however. was carried to the
extreme. when, at session Of the
Bosnian diet, called to express sorrow
at the death Of the archduke, four

Planned to Blow Up Train.
The plan of the assassins contemplate
ed. it 10 said, the blowing up Of the royal
train on which the archduke and his
wife were leaving Sarajeyo in case the
attempts by Cavrio Prinxip, failed.
Prinzip's plans were carefully laid.
He secreted himself behind a building
at spot where It was necessary for
the archduke's car to slacken speed.
Some accounts of the crime say that
Prinzip actually stood on the step of
the car az he fred the shots.
Prinxip Paid Assassins,
Against all these carefully laid plans
of the criminals the extraordinary pre-
caution taken by the authorities proved
unavailing, for tho murderers guessed
rightly that the archduke would not be
frightened into giving up his program
after the first bomb had failed.
In Prinxip's rooms the police found a
large sum Of money. which they say is
further proof that he was paid assass-
in Of some Servian organization.
Sympathy For Aged Emperor.
The sympathy not only of the rulers
but of the people Of Europe has been
expressed to the aged emperor Francis
Joseph. whose much needed rest at his
summer residence at 1schl has been
broken by the crime. He left Ischl,
where he was recuperating from his
recent severe illness. for Vienna this
morning. The imperial train stopped
at Arstetten. where the emperor was
