ESCAPES A BOMB
THROWN AT HIS AUTO
PIotters Had Carefully Laid Plan To
Blow Up Royal Train if Assassin
Failed-Austria ContempIates Sc
we're Measures.
(By Associated Press.)

Sarajovo, Bosnia, June 2S.-As a con.
sequence of the assassination yester-
daay of Archduke Frances Ferdinand
and his morganatic wife the duchess of
Hohenberg, martial law has been de-
clared in the city and district of Sara
jovo.
Indications are that the crime was
engineered by persons possessing more
mature organizing ability than the
youthful assassin Prinzip, a student in
the eighth grade, who used an auto
matte revolver. 1t is generally thought
here that the plotters had headquar-
ters in Belgrade, the Servian capital.
Even before the bodies of the mur-
dered couple have been inferred the
Austrian authorities are contemplating
severe measures against the Serbs il
Austria. These measures are likely
to further embitter the relations be
tween the two counties.
| Several bombs were found along the
Sarajovo railway today, indicating
that the assassin contemplated blow
ing up the Royal train in the event tn,
attempt of Prinzip and his accom-
plices failed.
Before the duke and duchess wer
shot in their automobile an attemp
was made to destroy them with
bomb, which was thrown directly a
them. The duke threw out his arm
and warded off the bomb, which fell t.
one side, wounding several.

Mississippians
Caught in Act
of Disrepute
DISCHARGED FROM ANNAPOLIS
FOR ATTEMPTING UNFAIR
SCHEME.
(By Associated Press.)

Annapolis, Md, June 29.-M. P. Har-
ris, of Mississippi, a young enlisted
man in the navy, was escorted to the
boundaries of the government reserva-
tion at Annapolis and there dishonor-
ably discharged from the service be-
cause he had impersonated another
man in an examination to the Naval
Academy as a midshipman.
Harris won a designation from Unit
ed States Senator Williams to take the
entrance tests under a new plan of
Secretary of the Navy Daniels for the
benefit of enlisted men. He passed the
test and later took the place of T. B.
Longre, of Hattiesburg, Mississippi,
and passed the first examination for
him in Virginia. When Longre appear
ed at the naval academy to take the
physical test the deception was dis
covered because his handwriting
did not agree with that in the first ex
animation papers.
Although kept in ignorance of the
investigation and told that he was sLf
fering from a slight physical defect
Longre left Annapolis when publiclt,
was given to the affair and did not re
turn.
The naval academy authorities rec
commended court martial for Harris
but the ruling of the Secretary of tn
Navy was for dishonorable discharge
Harris had been a prisoner aboard tn
prison ship Reina Mercedes since tn
discovery of his guilt Longre's cas-
has been referred to the civil servic
commission at Washington.

WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ACTS
OF AGENT OF PRISON TRUs-

Special to The NelCS.

Special to The Neics.
Jackson, Miss, June 29.-The Mis-
sissippi Supreme Court today reversed
the judgment of the Kinds County
Circuit Court in the case of Col. w.
A. Montgomery, a prison trustee con-
victed last year of malfeasance in Of
fee; sustained the demurrers of the
indictment, and ordered the defendant
discharged.
Col Montgomery, who is at the head
of the Confederate Veterans in this
state, was fined 800 and removed from
office by the lower court, but appealed
to the higher tribunal.
The main grounds of the prosecu-
tion were that as prison trustee Col
Montgomery could not delegate to the
secretary of the board authority to sell
farm products, collect money, endorse
checks, etc.
The Supreme Court holds that prison
trustees cannot be held criminally re
sponsible for the act of the agent
though they may be liable civilly fol

Lawrence Yerger, who confessed tt
stealing more than 100000.

the indictment were conflicting an,
the defendant could not properl
present his defense.
The decision was written by Justic
Cook.
