 January 15

An erstwhile boy violinist and the 'baby of the opera" who for years admired more than each others mu- sical gifts, have had tho spotlight of the musical world turned upon them by being married: and most piouantly of all to New Britainites. the pair while on their honeymoon will appear on the same concert platform in New Britain.
 This musical romance has en- Eulfed the hearts of Nanette Guil- ford, who in 1923. at the age of IS. made her debut with the Metropoli- tan Opera, and Max Rosen. violinist. who, as a little Roumanian prodigy. was discovered on the East Side of New York and from there has nd- died his way into the hall of fame. Rosen made his sensational debut at Carnegie Hall 10 years ago. Both musicians have kept we'll to the top since their early triumphs. And it became known today that last Fri day the pair suddenly decided to be married. They wanted to keep 1t secret, and succeeded for nearly . week.
 Mir. and Mrs. Rosen will appear on the same platform at the Capitol theater on Sunday.

 Ordered to Attack
 The newspaper says that in Octo- Der. 1918. the German navy received orders to attack the British fleet. Admiral Scheer who had succeeded Admiral Won Holtxendorn as chief oi the German naval general stan, agreed. but only on condition that the Kaiser accompany him on hia flagship and assume nominally su- preme command. In this demand the paper says. Scheer had not only tho support of practically all naval officers but also that of Prince Ma, Won Baden, General Ludendorf and Admiral Tirpitz. Tho latter fell that the Kaiser's presence with the fleet would vally all sections of the population around the throne.

Prague. Czecho-Slovakia. Nov. 30 Rs-Alcibiade Bebe. Albanian stu dent who assassinated Zena Bey, AL banian minister at Prague and . brother-tn-law of King Zogu of AL bania, was shot to death today at the opening of his trial. His as- sassin was q servant of Zena Bey's brother. He was captured.
 Before the slayer could be seized, an Italian newspaperman was seri- ously wounded and the official court interpreter and . spectator suffered less serious injuries.
 Fires Six Shots
 The assassin. whose name was not disclosed. fired six shots at his vic- tim. the first of which killed Bebe. Other shots struck the correspon- dent of Giornale d'Italia of Rome and pr. Jetzura. the interpreter.
 At the discharge of the bullets, which the police later said were dum-dums the throngs in the court scurried wildly to the doors In an effort to make possible the assas- sins escape. several Albanian kins- men fired revolvers into the air ad- ding tn the indescriba ble panic.
 Leaps From Bench
 The judge leaped from the bench and two jurymen. seeking to escape. fell headlong on the floor. One dislocated his thighbone and the other was trampied by the terror ized spectators.
 The assaasin, who is 32. opened , flrs just a Bebe was relating how and why he had assassinated Zena Key. 0nhD~tald the court that he belonesd~ te an Albanian terrorist organizations in Jugoslavia which ordered him to destroy Zema Bey under penalty of being shot him. self If he failed to carry out the order. He declared that he was pro- vided with money and munitions by this same organization.
 Fires Point Blank
 Suddenly the assassin pushed his way through the crowded court room brandishing a revolver and fired point blank at Bebe. who fell dead.
 T have avenged my masters brother in true Albanian fashion. v shouted the assassin as the specta- tors lied in terror.
 Bebe fired two shots into the back of Zena Bey as he was seated in a cafe in Prague on the night of Oc- tober l4, 1927. The minister died on his way to hospital. His deed accomplished, Bebe calmly handed his revolver to a waiter. surrendered his passport to . policeman and was taken away without resistance. He explained to the police that he had killed Zena Bye because he believed the minister intended to betray Albania to Jugo- Slavia.
 Prominent Family The slain diplomat belonged to one of the most prominent of AL banian noble families and was known as an advocate of "the Bal kans for the Balkan people" He was generally credited with seeking to promote close relations be- tween his country. Jugo- slavia, and Czeeho. SloyaLia
