Discovery of Anarchist Plots
Will Prevent Visit to Arch
dukes Bier

BERLIN, July 2.-Kaiser Wilhelm,
of Germany. will not attend the
funeral OF the Archduke Franz Ferdi-
nand in Vienna, ,''according TO official
announcement today. Rumor has 1t
that the discovery OF widespread an
archist ploth in the Austrian city
makes the emperor fear for his life.
The greatest surprise was felt here
when the announcement was made. Ii
was officially stated that cancellation
Of the kaiser's plans for the Austrian
trip came as a result OF slight in
disposition which has attacked the
aged emperor OF Austria, and that II
was not deemed advisable in his pres
ent agitated condition that the further
strain OF entertaining the kaiser
should be placed upon him. To this,
the official explanation went, the kai-
ser agreed.
Ii was generally admitted here to-
day that only the gravest reasons
could have prevented the visit OF the
German emperor, Austria's closest
ally, TO the funeral OF the heir 10 the
Austrian throne. The fear OF anar
ehistlo activities Is widely regarded
as the only adequate explanation.
TRIESTE. Austria, July 2.--Into a
city draped In black. whose bells
tolled requiem from thousand spires,
the bodies OF the assassinated Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand OF Austria and
his wife, the Countess of Hohenburg,
were borne here today from the bat

lined the streets as the corpses were
carried TO special train by blue

Before and behind the caskets and
in long lines on either side marched
blue Jackets The whole suite of the
slain archduke walked with measured

ed through the throng TO prevent any
possible outbreak against the Serbs

the death OF the assassinated Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand OF Austria was
squeezed out OF an italian named
Alessandrini who recently returned
here from Paterson, n. j., and who
was arrested here for completely II
the double murder at Seraievo.
Alessandrini, under the severes
questioning, admitted he had worket
in the American city as a carpente
