Ruler Will at Once Give Evi
dence of His Sense of Justice
by Punishing Assassins.
KIXG'S DEPARTURE FIXED.

"Wednesday. .
ST. PETERSBURG, June 16. An official
note was published lh the Gazette today
recognizing Peter Karageorgevich as
King of Servia and welcoming his ac
cession. In brief, the note declares that
It Is Incumbent upon King Peter to
avenge the assassination of King Alexan
der and Queen Draga, and expresses the
conviction that ho will know how to pun
ish the regicides, whoso misdeeds should
not be visited on the entire Servian na
tion or army. The note adds that it
would be dangerous to the tranquility of
Servia to leave the crime unpunished.
On this subject the note says:
"The imperial government, while hail
ing the election of the new monarch,
scion of a glorious dynasty, and wishing
all success to the supreme head of the
Servian people, which Is allied to Russia
by ties of religion, can nevertheless not
refrain from expressing the confident
hope that King Peter will be able to give
evidence of his sense of justice and firm
ness of will by adopting measures at the
outset to Investigate the abominable
deed that has been committed and mete
out rigorous punishment to those traitor
ous criminals who have stained them
selves with the infamy attaching to reg
icides. Of course, the entire Servian
nation or army cannot be held respon
sible for the crime which revolts pub
lic conscience, yet It would be dangerous
to Servia's internal peace not to exact
expiation for Uie revolution carried out
with violence by the military. Such neg
lect would Inevitably react In ah un
favorable manner on the relations of all
tho states with Servia, and would cre
ate for Servia serious difficulties at the
very commencement of tho reign of King
Peter,
"Their Russian co-religionists offer to
God supplications for the repose of the
souls of King Alexander and his consort,
who have met an untimely end, and they
Invoke the blessings of the Almighty on
King Peter for the welfare and pros
perity of the Servian people."
CZAR'S MESSAGE IS EXPLAINED.
Emperor of Austria, Heine; the Elder,
He Let Hint Rend Servia a Lesson.
BELGRADE, June 18. It was officially
stated this afternoon that the Parlia-.
mentary Deputation, which Is to meet
King Peter, will leave tomorrow for Ge
neva, and will return with him not later
than June 25. Tho Skupshtlna will then
be dissolved, and another one will be
elected under the modified constitution.
Somo difference has arisen in regard to
the preclso terms of tho modification of
the constitution, but all accounts agree
in saying that after the arrival of King
Peter a complete revision of the consti
tution will be undertaken.
There is considerable speculation as to
the future of the Metropolitan, who was
a strong supporter of the late King Alex
ander. His complete recantation at the
Te Deum service today failed to satisfy
the Metropolitan's enemies, and prob
ably he will soon retire.
Workmen havo been busy all day dig
ging holes for the Venetian masts and
arches which are to line the whole route
at the railroad station and palace. Rus
sia has Instructed Its representatives to
resume diplomatic relations with the
Senian government. It Is stated that
the Czar's telegram of congratulation
omitted to reprehend the assassinations,
hy an agreement between the Czar and
the Emperor of Austria, that the latter,
being the elder monarch, should admin
ister the lesson.
King Peter has alreaOy assumed the
reins of government by directing that
all important matters be referred to him
at Geneva.
The uneasiness heretofore prevailing
in intelligent circles has been greatly
minimized by the smooth working of the
provisional government, and the feeling
of security has been increased by the
favorable attitude of the ' powers. It Is
generally believed now that a serious
crisis has been averted, and there Is
reasonable hope of the Inauguration of
a peaceful settlement. An unfounded
rumor that King Peter hud been assass
inated caused great consternation here
today. There Is some talk of converting
the old Konak Palace Into a museum and
depositing therein the personal belongings
of the now extinct Obrenovltch family.
NICHOLAS SENDS REST WISHES.
Prince of Montenegro Joyfully Hails
Ills Son-ln-Lnw as Kin;?.
VIENNA, June IS. In his telegram oi
congratulation to King Peter. Prince
Nicholas of Montenegro says:
"To the whole of Servia I send wishes
of happiness, but first of all to her hero,
and who, in the person of the grandson of
George the Black, today received the long
dslred Knight of a knightly stock that
they may revive together with him the in
born virtue with which the freedom and
Independence of Servia was conquered and
esiablisbed.
"All the Serbs from the eea to the Dan
ube greet your auspicious succession.
"The founders of our houses, Knra
gecrge and Vladlka Danllo. will ever live
and glow In Servian hearts.
' I. all to the justice of God; hall to you;
haU to the Servian people.
"The community of our feelings and
bloc & Is a pledge to all the Serbs that the
indivisible friendship of Servia and Mon
tenegro will ever, gleam holy and healing
for our people.
"Above this Servian concord hovers the
angelic eoul of Zorka, my daughter and
your spouse, .whore blood and love shall
ever unite your children and mine. Loss
Hvo the King bf Servla."
EMPEROR'S MESSAGE SUPPRESSED.
Francis Jesepk Mskeit Severe Strict
ure ob the Assassins.
BELGRADE, Juno IS. The telegram of
Emperor Francis Joseph to King Peter
was not published here on its receipt be
cause of the Emperor's strictures on the
murderers of King Alexander and Queen
Draga.
Lato today a leaflet giving the
text of Emperor Francis Joseph's tele
cram to King Peter was circulated, but.
the strictures were so blurred In the trans
lation that they were almost incomprehen
sible. The telegram, however, was other
wise so sympathetic that It was accepted
as being eminently satisfactory.
It appears after the assassinations the
conspirators sounded the cabinets at St.
Pitersburg ana Vienna and received assur
ances or their approval of the election of
King Peter. The latter's eldest sister.
Polaeena Preschcrn. the divorced' wife of
an Austrian landowner, who has been liv
ing for years In reduced circumstances
near Vienna, has announced her intention
of returning to Servia.
King Peter Is not expected to arrive
before Juno 21 or 25.

prayed for the prosperity of Servia. King
Peter then received the priestly benedic
tion. Strict police precautions were taken In
connection with the visit to the church.
The presence of the Servian military depu
tation created much curloelty In the
streets. King Peter received the Servian
officers with much ceremony. He ac
cepted their homage and, addressing them,
said he was happy to "meet the brave
representatives of the gallant Servian
army."
Pope Extends Condolence to Qneen.
ROME, June 18. An investigation of
the report published by an American news
agency yesterday that ex-Queen Natalie,
of Servia, had written to the pope an
nouncing her Intention to revisit Rome
shortly to consult with the pontiff re
garding her entering a convent, shows
that the pope merely conveyed his con
dolences to Queen Natalie. The Queen
replied, thanking the pope.

ers' note Is to secure a conference, but. In
addition fb this. It contains a suggestion
that the operatives be allowed to go back
to the factories with the understanding
that all shall receive the plnces hold by
them. This proposition was met with a
flat refusal from the agents, who said
the strikers had that opportunity present
ed to them when" the gates were reopened
a few weeks ago, and refUBed.

COURSE MOODY WILL PURSUE.
Crnlser Will Be LnnnChcd, Even if
a. Shoiv of Arms Is Required.
WASHINGTON. June IS. It Is slid here
that proper respect will be shown the
mandates of the courts, so long as they
keep within their Jurisdiction, but the
Navy Department cannot 3ubmlt to an
Interfeence with its ng'ntE. Tae cruiser
Galveston, at Richmond, it Is stated, will
be launched when ready. Secretory Moody
Is not at all disposed to act hastily re
garding the Galveston, but indefinite de
lay upon the construction of that Vessel,
In the event of an International emer
gency, might prove a grave matter, and
the department therefore Is bound to
proceed wjth the work as rapidly as pos
sible. Secretary MOody was informed tonight
of the action of the Richmond court re
straining the Government from further
work on the Galveston, but declined to
talk oh the subject until after conferences
tomorrow with the President and Attorney-General
Knox. Attorney-Generil
Knox was unwilling to be quoted until
his opinion, rendered to the President as
to the jurisdiction of the Government
over the Galveston, had been made pub
lic. It cart be staled, however, that the
Attorney-General recognizes as eminently
well taken the Contention advanced by
Rear-Admiral Bowles, Chief of th;e Bureau
of Construction and Repair, that ho court
his the right to Interfere with the work
on a war vessel, and that the Government
would be warranted In calling Federal
troops to protect Its agents engaged in
such work.
Instructions have beenvent Lieutenant
Thciss and Naval Constructor Orosdeck.
in chirge -of the work on the Galveston,
to proceed with all possible dispatch In
the effort to .get the ship ready for launch
ing on Monday. When the Galveston shall
bo launched, a gunboat will probably be
sent to accompany her to Norfolk, It Is
not excepted that the department will
havo to resort to a show of naval or
military force to execute Its orders.
Nnvy Has Right to Defy Court.
WASHINGTON. JUne IS. Attorney
General Knox has Indicated to the Navy
Department that he will render an opin
ion sustaining the contention of Rear
Admlral Bowles that the Government has
the right to complete the work on the
Galveston, building at Trigg shipyard, In
Richmond, even at the expense of a show
of force.
POSTAL FRAUD GROWS GREATER.
Grand Jury Will Soon Return Five
More Indletinents.
WASHINGTON. Juno 18. The Federal
Grand Jury, which has bt-cn Investigating
postal affairs, Is expected tp bring in flvo
indictments tomorrow against persons In
volved, but may not report until Mon
day. Assistant District Attorney Tag
gart. who has the cases In charge for the
Government, was at hla office earlier than
usual this morning, and was busily en
gaged in going over the Indictments. He
denied himself to all callers. Although
every effort has been made to keep the
public in Ignorance of the action to be
taken until the papers were ready for
presentation by the Grand Jury, it Is
learned on unquestioned authority that
the Jury has voted to return Indictments
against August W. Macnen. DIHer B.
Groff, Samuel a. Croft, George E. Lor
enz and Mrs. Lorenz the two latter be
ing residents of Toledo, O. The specific
charge. It Is understood, will be conspir
acy to defraud the Government.
The fact that now indictments would be
returned against Machen and the Groff
brothers has been talked of for some time
around the Courthouse, but it was not
expected that .action would be taken so
soon. The sensational feature of today's
probable proceedings Is the connection of
Mrs. Lorenz' name with the transactions
which led to the arrest of Mr. Machen
and the Groffe. At the time of the ar
rest, stories were In circulation that there
was a go-between, but the Information at
hand then was not conclusive enough to
establish the Identity of this particular
party.
Whether or not Mrs. Lorenz acted In
this capacity Is not known, - but It has
been suggested that this go-between was
a woman.

"I cannot but feel that under ordinary
circumstances such summary action as
has been taken la" my case would not
have txen had without giving me a chance
to be heard by yourself In my own de
fense. "It must be due' to the heated, excited
and congested condition of affairs in the
Fostofflce Department that the Postmaster-General
has consented to the sum
mary dismissal of a man who, for the
tTest part of his life since attaining man
hood, has devoted his whole thoughts and
being to the honeet discharge of his duties
to the Government and the best Interest
of the postal service, in which no stain
or suspicion has ever heretofore at
tached." "The common sense of Justice and the
right of defense which my score of years
of faithful public service entitle me to.
must impel the. Pestmaeter-Gcneral to
grant me this opportunity of demonstrat
ing to him that his action has been hasty
and unjust to a faithful public servant,
who has devoted his life to the best In
terests of the Government.
"The suspension of your order la re-
spectfully asked until such time as you
may hear from me."
Id m ball Succeeds Metcalfe.

JURY IN FEUD HANGS
Kentucky Assassins Are Gon
, fident of Acquittal.
REIGN OF TERRORtStfLl: E'XISTS
Commonwealth's Attorney Scverely
Dcnounces the Murderers, bnt Ills
Act Will Cause Him to Move
Governor May Take It Up.-
JACKSON, K, JUrie IS. A3 expected
here, the jury in the case of Curtis Jett
and Thomas Whltei charged with murder
ing J. B. Marcum. has been unable to
agree upon a verdict. The case has been
in the hands of the Jury all afternoon,
and tonight It Is stated that at least two
-Jurcrs are holding out for conviction,
while others are divided, mcst of them
favoring dcqUlttal. The jurors went to
bed eariy. "and there will be no report
before tomorrow.
During thl3 suspense there has been
Intense anxiety about the Courthouse and
throughout the town, In dlMuasIcg what
might follow either a verdict of guilty of
of 'acquittal or of a compromise on Im
prisonment, but the Indications are that
the Jury will finally report that It has dis
agreed and ask to be discharged. It Is
said that In that event there will be no
such probability of bloodshed and further
acta of arson os there would be In the
event of conviction; that there will be a
general exodus of members Of the Catfd-
well-Coekrell faction, the widows and or?
phans of victims and other.?, and that the
dominant faction will be left without for
midable opposition In holding the town as
well as the county offices hereafter.
Prosecution Wa Not Stop.
It Is not expected that the prosecution
for the murder of Mnrcum and others will
stop with this JUry. Although the court
has been In session some weeks at great
expense to the county and also to the
commonwealth. It Is believed that In
spector Hlncs will make such a report to
the Governor as to pecure other trials un
der different conditions. It Is rematked
that the general exodus that Is expected
will take away many of those who might
otherwise be depended on ao witnesses
and Jurors.
It Is hot likely that the county will find
soon such another witness as B. J. Ewen.
who has removed to Lexington, Or another
such proven tOr,fts Commonwealth Attor
ney Byrd, who expects to locate at Win
chester, Ky.
Business was practically suspended to
day. The reign of terror still continues,
with all sorts of apprehension as to the
future and no hope of nny convictions
under the present official conditions.
Hargis Faction Is Jnhllantt
The members of the Hariris faction were
almost Jubilant tonight oVef tho unoffi
cial reports from the Jury-room. It wai
asserted confidently that 10 of the jurors
were firmly for acquittal and the other
two were being Induced to join tnem to
morrow in a verdict of acquittal. It Is
mentioned that all of the men brought
In for the panel from which the Jurors
were selected were brought In by deputies
or members of the dominant faction, and
that they can be depended oh for the
result that Is now anticipated.
It was another "circus crowd" that as
sembled to hear the closing arguments In
the case. The pleadings of Judge J. B.
French. John D. O'Neal and B. B. Golden
for the defense, and of Captain W. T.
Hurst and Thomas Marcura for the prose
cution, yesterday and last night, had at
tracted so much attention that all wanted
to hear Commonwealth's Attorney Byrd
clo?e the case this morning.
The mothers of the defendants, widows
of feud victims, and other women were
again present While all men who en
tered the courtroom have been searched
every day for concealed weapons, extra
precautions were taken today by the sol
diers, as there were grave apprehensions
as to what may happen with such a
crowd In the town after the trial is con
cluded.
There were grave fears today for some
newspaper men. Two correspondents left
yesterday, and their papers havo sent new
men who are not known to the assassins.
It Is dangerous for one man to remain
here long If his paper has a, circulation
In the town.
When court convened today. B. B. Gol
den concluded for the defense and Com
monwealth's Attorney Byrd made his ar
gument. Byrd has a reputation as a fear
less prosecutor. When this case opened
he announced that he proposed to do his
duty. It mattering not who was hurt. He
spoke of how Ewen had to be protected
by soldiers, fearing that ho would be as
sassinated If he ventured from his home j
unprotected, and how he had been forced
td remain under the protection of the sol
diers since the trial.
The defense objected frequently to hte
statements, and in some instances wa?
sustained, and the prosecutor reprimanded
by the Judge.
Attorney O'Neal objected to a statement
by Byrd that a motion had been made
to dismiss the jury, which was sustained,
and Byrd proceeded.
Byrd Makes Jury's Dnty Plain.
Byrd asked the Jury to be willing. If
necessary, to make the same sacrifice
that Captain Ewen had made for Justice.
Raising his hand aloft and shaking it
threateningly toward two prominent men
who sat in court, he said:
"I want to give warning to you and all
of your followers, that your bloodthirsty
duels must stop in Breathitt County.
Leave this county and Its people. God
knows they have suffered enough, God
knows the day has got to come when tho
arch assassins, the men who are the con
trolling powers behind the Jetts and the
Whites, will be exposed to the world and
either sent to prison Or to the noose."
With clinched fists and shaking with
emotion, Byrd walked toward the Jury
and said:
"Gentlemen, you are on trial as well as
Jett and White, and you must answer to
tho bar of public opinion as well as the
bar of the Breathitt crtmlnnl court. You
have got to do your duty or be pilloried
by public qplnlon."
Byrd followed tho testimony with merci
less precision, and lauded Ewen as a
man, the superior of whom In manhood
does not live.
In conclusion he brandod Hargis and
Callaghan as cowards, and mid their tes
timony showed a skillful tissue of false
hood from beginning to end.
Jett was visibly moved. Tears were In
his eyes when Byrd closed, and he trem
bled like a leaf.
Ewen Is Tenered an Ovation.

Ewen was escorted to the Elks' Hall last
