BELGRADE, Oct. IL. -
Mounting rage at King Alex
ander's murder, manifested
in wild riots, kept police alert
and authorities worried late
this afternoon as young Peter
II sped across Europe to
claim his unhappy heritage.
Concerned over publ Ii C
anger, the government was
reported to have given police
at Zagrab orders to shoot to
kill if necessary to prevent a
planned demonstration before
the Italian consulate there.
Students planned the demonstra-
ton at meeting last night.
The resignation of Albert Sarraut
French minister of interior, reSpon-
sible for police arrangements at
Marseille, and the promised diSnis-
sails of two officials at the scene
made ar excellent impression and
feeling against the French was
calmer
Sarajevo, where Archduke Franz
Ferdinand of Austria was assaSsi-
mated in 1914, was the scene of the
latest violent demonstrations.
Cathedral Is Damaged
Townspeople, enraged at the
death of their king, wrecked shops
and houses, milled outside Roman
Catholic churches, damaged the in
terror of the Roman Catholic cathe-
dral, and bombed the postoffice.
In these riots, Serbs selected as
the object of their wrath people who
failed to display crepe in mourning
for Alexander.
In earlier riots, mobS attacked the
secretary of the Italian consulate at
Laibach Gjubljana) and demon
strated against Hungary in the vii
lagos of Esseg and Subotich, which
are near the Hungarian frontier.
The riots at Sarajevo last night
assumed serious proportions. They
broke out in the form of spon-
taneous demonstrations all over the
city.
Excitement Grows Rapidly
Police patrols were strengthened
at once, but excitement grew rap
idly and the populace we're in
clined to attack all persons imagined
to be enemies of Alexander.
Police could not disperSe van
dals at the cathedral before heavy
damage was done to the interior
A bomb was exploded inside the
postoffice. One employe was
wounded.
The mobs began smashing win
dows and interiors of shops which
failed to display crepe, and went
about to Roman Catholic churches
venting wrath on priests who re-
fused to fly the black flag. 1t was to
a capital divided between rage and
sorrow that little King Peter was
coming to receive the homage OF
his people.
Peter Due Tomorrow
Peter, his mother, Queen Marie,
and his grandmother, Dowager
Queen Marie of Rumania. were ex-
pected here tomorrow.
His fathers funeral was set for
Thursday. Until then there was a
political truce. Afterward, with the
regency headed by Prince Paul rul-
ing for Peter, the cabinet was ex-
pected to resign-as it offered to do
yesterday-and opposition political
elements were expected to attack the
government

to Split (Spalato) on the Adriatic
coast.

preference for a $3.50 wages claim,
against E. j. McErlane, trustee for

Charleston police, who are
said to be questioning ChA-
dress intensively, reported to
Louisville officials that he an
swered in a general way the
description of the kidnaper fur
nished by Mrs. Fowler Violet, "a
year-old maid in the luxurious Stoll
home.
News of his arrest came immedi-
ately after William S. Kammerer,
attorney and close personal friend
of Berry V. Stoll, oil millionaire hus-
band of the kidnapped woman, had
announced at a press conference in
Harrod's Greek. picturesque village
near the Stoll estate, that the fam
lily had no desire except to regain
Mrs. Stoll and that it had received
no word from the kidnaper.
Mr.. Kammerer, who asked the CO.
operation of the newspapers in as
surfing Mrs. Stoll's return, denied
heatedly a persistent rumor that
Mrs. Stoll already had been re-
turned to her home and that the
fact was being kept secret to allow
the kidnapers to escape.
He said that all automobiles had
been withdrawn from the Stoll
estate, making pursuit impossible if
the kidnaper suddenly appeared
there; that new telephone wires
strung to the house yesterday were
to assure the kidnaper he would be
free from overlapping investiga-
tors; and that the family was ready
to meet any demand 1t humanity
could meet.
All Planes Grounded
Mr.. Kammerer also gave authen-
ITCHY to early reports that the kid
naper's car might well have dis
appeared into Indiana. He said that
a car resembling the kidnaper'S had
been seen speeding over a Louisville
bridge into southern Indiana half
an hour after the kidnapping and
that some attempt had been made
to trace it.
A moment later, seemingly un-
aware of the inconsistency involved,
he remarked:
I'VE would back up on a trail
rather than develop one. I want
those kidnapers to be able to get
hold of Berry Stoll. Every channel
Of communication is being made
available"
A short time before. the press
conference, every plane in Ken
lucky, except those of regular trans
port lines and including those at
Fl. Knox, had been ordered ground
ed. 1t was explained that this was
to assure the kidnapers that no air

ABOUT THE 1884 CHEVROLET;

The new 1884 Chevrolet is a big, husky car, built to stand the Calf. The extra built-in value, which you cannot see, means much toward the comfort and safe ty of the passengers and the long CT life for the car. It is built right; its extra weight insures the maxi mum in riding comfort and safe Ity.
 Here are some facts about the 1884 Chevrolet sedan which were taken from the April issue of N A. D. A. official Guide: The 1884 Chevrolet sedan has lsss more pounds of built-in value than the 1934 Ford v-S de luxe sedan; 300 more pounds than the lTerraplane de luxe sedan; 247 bounds more than the de lnxe Ply mouth sedan; 175 more pounds than the Hudson Standard 8 sed' tan; 1sO more pounds than th' lStudebaker Dictator "A" sedan; ant I140 more pounds than the Dodg' sedan, all extra built-in value.

the new "Commerce-Labor" Depart
ments. Delay occurred, fortunately
for the proper development Of the
general building plan. 1t was realized
that the. space afforded by these "five
squares" would be too small to permit
the erection of three structures, none
| of which could possibly be large
enough to accommodate its occupant.
Then was proposed the placement Of
one Of the three buildings on the Mall.
That was stoutly resisted and the plan
was abandoned and finally it was de-
cided to proceed with the acquisition
of the remainder of the triangle and
to use the western end for q single
structure, which was allotted to the
Commerce Department, from which
the Labor Department had been sepa-
rated and given an individual entity.
This left the Department of Justice,
originally assigned on paper to one OF
the three buildings to be crowded into
the five square" site, without definite
allotment, but in the final develop
ment of the triangle, eventually pur-
chased as a whole by the Government,
it was located in the space on which
now has risen the structure that today
definitely becomes its home-its first
real home-with the transfer Of the
entire establishment from its rented
quarters.
These delays and changes have made
for the evolution Of better plan than
that which, if adopted and carried
out, would have set the Department
of Justice in a cramped space opposite
the White Lot without room for the
development that has come about In
the later years, with the assignment
to it of new duties and responsibilities.
Thus the branch of the Government
that began by being an Attorney Gen
eral without department and then q
department without home; has its
own place in which to carry on the
work in which it is engaged, OF vital
Importance to the welfare and the
security of the people Of this country.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

| He wondered at the temerity Of some
visitor, who had flicked the ashes on
his cigar into the pot. II Aunt Mary
knew about that!
Another memorable plant of child
hood was the so-called rubber plant.
At least one Of these stood in q
large tub in every home.
| The tub invariably was painted a
very dark green, shutter green 1t would
be called today, or blind green.
In the Summer this often was set
out on the porch. The word piazza"
was very much in vogue, too. Every
body had piazza. Nowadays we
hear on all sides that the old-time
porch Is doomed by the automobile,
and it Is true that many Of the open
verandas are being boxed in and
called sun porches. Such Is the vogue
Of the sun.
"Portico" is another old word. And
we must be excused for thinking that
an open addition Of some kind to q
house Is very much In human nature,
and probably will continue to be for
many . long year to come.

The famous might blooming Cereus"
bloomed once in ever so many years
in grandmother's parlor.
There was an old portable organ
there, upon which one delighted, at
rare intervals, to play the lugubrious
strains of Go Tell Aunt Rhody," or
was she Rosy?
There were old books in an old case
seldom opened. 1t had glass doors,
and II you chanced to find the key
and opened the glass, q smell of musty
paper smote you full in the face.
II you opened a book, q large black
insect of uncertain lineage was Just
as likely as not to dart out and down
the cover.
The famous Cereus, some said,
bloomed once every hundred years,
but even the children knew that was
q joke, because it had been known to
flower several times already.
The neighbors all came in and
looked at 1t in the light Of the coal
oil lamps. Is nasal memory correct in
attributing to the flower considerable
odor Of q heavy, pungerit character?
| \ \ \
Asparagus Is another plant which
the memory of long ago pictures easily.
1t was not a flower then, any more
than 1t is today, but its flowing,
graceful green made it memorable,
then as now.
There was no "wilt" in those days.
1t grew like q sea Of wavering green,
catching the light at the slightest
breeze.
The asparagus bed was a thing Of
beauty. One may believe that very
small beds of it would be an addition
to any flower garden. There are many
vegetables, in fact, which are beauti-
full. One Of these is the so-called
scarlet runner bean, whose pods now
hang ripening on the fence.
After all, there Is somthing very
fern-like about asparagus plants. The
graceful green Of such growing things
Is always welcome.
Greenery Of all sorts Is the basis Of
any garden. Without green we would
have no gardens as we know them.
Even in Winter the grass remains
colorful
Get color, in q garden, by all means,
but never forget the essential base and
foil-the green Of ferns. violets. shrubs,
