SARAJEVO MURDER
'BERNE, March 13. Charges that thl assassination
of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and h)i wife at Sara
jevo, on June 28, 1914, was the resultf a deliberate
plot by the late Count Tisza, former j lungarian pre
mier, are made in a pamphlet written py a priest who
was the' spiritual advisor of the Duchefs of'llohenberg
(the archduke's wife) according to a ienna dispatch
to, the Frankfort Gazette. The pamphlii, entitled "the
Sarajevo murder and Count Tisza 's responsibility for
the world war" is said to have mado a yrofound impres
sion in Austria, .s ;
. It is dec lared that Francis Ferdinand repeatcily re
fused to, go to Sarajevo, and it was only an appeal to
his courage that induced him to make, the trip.
"The most elementary precautions-were omitted,"
it 13 stated by the priest. He was simply led into the
trap by the court at Vienna by the Hugarian aristoc
racy, headed by Count Tisza.
The general idea of the pamphlet is that Magyar
magnates with the consent of the Vienna court,' wished
to cet rid of the archduke who was extremely disliked,
and obtain vengeance for the murder at the expense of
the Jugo-Slays, who would be made helpless. : It is
pointed out that "no proper" inquiry was ever made
into the tragedy and that no one was made responsible
for the fact that precautionary measures. were not
taken. ,

PLOT
GUT
MAY BE STAGED
PARIS. Mar. 13. Sporting circles
here are keenly aroused over reports
that the Jack DcmpaeyWillard fight
may be staged In Paris. Promoters
hero have watched with Brest inter
est the difficulties encountered ' oy
"Tex" Rlckard In America In getting
a place for the bout. Offers will be
made to Rlckard soon, if they have
not yet reached him.
The promoters here argue that
Paris with its big floating American
and British population at present
would be a better place than either
Juarez or Havana If the bout goes
outside America. Higher prkea could
be obtained for seats than before the
war.. It is figured that seats that
sold for $50 for the Johnson-Moran
bout would bring $100 now.
A hlEh army official informed the
Associated Press today that the
Dempsey-Wlllard fight would not be
held In the United States, adding:
"There Is one manwho can atop
the fight In America." '
The officers refused to divulge the
name of the man, but said that Wll
lard was not very popular in the
army owing to his attitude during
the war and hla refusal to give his
services to the Red Cross and the
various soldier benefits..
