Iu6 uQSL lIdSAC AyudobASS OA GH rope, he will rule under three man regency during his minority. Alexander lay in state in the prefecture here beside the body or Louis Barthou, French foreign minister, who among others Fell an incidental victim to the bullets of Petrus' Kelemen. 40 year old Croatiar shopkeeper. In chancelleries all over Europe statesmen. who for months had been negotiating to perfect their alliances in a long pending shift of alignments, wondered what would happen.
 Another Historic Date It was believed everywhere that the Marseilles assassinations would serve to mark an historic date in post war European history-se ond only to the assassination or Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 by Kelemen's Bosnian compatrlots'
 Police made thorough but fruit
 less search for possible co-piotters of Kelemen.
 In their examination of Kele-
 mems body they found one signifi- cant thing:
 On the assassin's left arm was tattooed a skull and cross bones inside q royal crown. Under the
 crown were the words: ..Liberty or death." This, Jugoslavians said, was the symbol of the Macedonian comitadti
 bands, who like the Greats and the others in Jugoslayia have fought tenaciously for years for freedom from one king after another. Kele- men was a native of Zagreb, Jugo- slavia.
 President Albert Lebrun and the principal members of his cabinet arrived here just after the queen had spent half an hour alone with her husbands body as 1t lay on its
 catalaque in the prefecture. t Back on Same Destroyer Arrangements were made to send the body from the prefecture al
 3:3O p. m. (10:30 a. m. EST) under a guard of honor of two battalions of infantry. It will be put aboard
 the Jugoslavian destroyed Dubrov-
 nix at 4 p. m.
 It was at 4:05 p. m. yesterday on the same destroyer that Alexander larrived. He rode 150 feet along the Canabiere with Barthou in motor cade to meet his death. Alexander's hloodrstained uni
 form, that of a Jugoslavian ad- niral was changed at the queens request for the field marshaps uni-
 form he wore in the World war. He served gallantly in little Si-
 beria's fight against the central powers.
 Barthou's body dressed in a gray travelling suit lay beside the king
 in the prefecture.
 First FOrmalities The funeral formalities for Alex ander and Barthou began at noon. when President Lebrun and Queen Marie went together into the chapel the rose salon of the prefec- ture.
 They went up to Alexander's bier. Lebrun inclined his head. The queen stood rigidly erect. They re. mained for five minutes, praying silently. Then they moved to Barthou's catafalque beside 1t and prayed there.
 From the chapel Lebrun accom- panied the queen to a private apart
 ment. He left her with the women Of honor of her court who accom-
 panied her on the. train to Mar seilles.
 Lebrun joined Andrew Tardieu
 and Edouart Herriot, ministers
 without portfolio; Francois Pietri,
 minister of marine, and General
 Victor Deaaud, air minister. Pietri escaped death yesterday by chance. He went out to meet Alex ander in the cruiser Colbert. He
 was to drive with him but at the
 last moment entered the car be-
 hind.
 The body of the king was placed in its coffin at D. m., in its old, gray field marshals uniform, stain ed from field service in the war.
