Rebels Are Surprised.
El Paso, Texas, June 29. Mexican
Constitutionalists here and at Juarez
were outspoken today in expressing
tliel. surpriso at General .Villa's, aban
donment of the pursuit of the. fedorals
whom he defeated at Zacateeas and
forced to evacuate Aguas Calientes.
His explanation that he had returned
to Torreon and was recalling his men
on account of lack of ammunition was
not generally accepted. The belief was
(cneral that his quarrel with General
Carranza had reached an acute stage.
It was even hinted that Villa was like
ly to break finally with his chief and
to conduct an independent revolution
of his own henceforward.
Villa Sends Ultimatum.
It was certain at any rate that he
had seut an ultimatum to Carranza,
coupling with it the announcement
that operations by his force, would cease
until he received a reply.
It waa said he demanded an immedi
ate supply of ammunition from Tampico
and authority to use the railroails in
(.arranzista territory as he chose. He
expressed hiself, it was stated, in the
most emphatic language.
Villa partisans here asserted that the
Carranzistas hau persistently withheld
uoeded ammunition from the former and
that they have greatly hampered him
by refusing to allow him to avail him
elf of railroad facilities, holding up
bis shipments again and again.
Carranza was on his way today to

It was feared there would be a general
slaughter when the murdered man and
woman were removed from the army
hospital for shipment to Vienna.
The crowds' tury unquestionably was
increasing and in several encounters
they had with troops and police tho
rioters had the better of tho fighting.
Thought of Children.
The official account was that the
archduke's last words were: "Hopbie,
you must live for our children."
Dr. Dynes, commander of tho army
hospital, embalmed tho bodies. Ar
rangements were made for sending them
I to Vienna tonight. They will be taken
I by special train to Mctkovites, where
I they will be put on board an Austrian
battleship and escorted by a squadron

Assassination Result of Flot.
Cabrinovitch, the newspaper compos
itor who tried and failed to kill the
archduke and his wife with a bomb,
and Gavrio Prinzip, the 19-year-old stu
dent who made the successful attempt
with a pistol, were being strictly exam
ined to determine whether or not they
had accomplices. Both denied it but
the authorities suspected the assassina
tion was the result of a widespread
Servian plot.
Bosnia, of which Zerajevo is the cap
ital, was once a Turkish province. Tho
Russo-Turkish war lett the sultan, how
ever, with only a nomination sorere
ignty over it. It was under a loose
sort of Austrian protectorate. Its pop
ulation is largely Servian. Servin, conse
quently, was ambitious ultimately to
acquire it.
In 1909, however, the Austrian gov
ernment suddenly announced that it
had annexed Bosnia, with its sister
province, Herzegovina.
This so enraged tli Servians that
there would have bee
war but for the
a stniL'L'le he
obvious hoplessncss of
""'e ocrvia
art J powertul Aus-
tna.
But the Sorvians never forgave Aus
tria's course. Those who lived in the
annexed provinces were especially bit
ter. They held Archduke Francis Fer
dinand, in' particular, responsible for
what had been done. Accordingly, when,
for state reasons, the nrclulukedccidcd
a short time ago to visit Zeraicvo. he
was repeatedly warned that his life
would be in danger there. j
This did not deter the archduke, but
ho tried to persuado his wife not to
accompany him. 8he insisted, and at
last they wont together.
First Attempt to KilL
The first attempt to kill them was
made as they were driving to the Zera
jevo town hall. As they passed through
tho crowded streets Cabrinovitch step
ped out from the throng and threw his
bomb at tho automobile. The arch
duke on the alert, struck it aside with
his arm. It rolled under the automo
bile following the royal car, exploded,
and Count Von Boos Waldeck and Co
lonel Merizzo, of th archduke's staff,
were slightly wounded, as were half a
dozen bystanders.
Cabrinovitch ran to the Mil Jach
river, leaped in and tried to swim
across, but was dragged out, frightfully
boaten and probably would have been
killed had not tho police rescued him.
The archduke waited until satisfied
thnt no lives had been lost, then went
on to the town hall.
"Ilerr Burgomaster," he complained
to the mayor, "it is scandalous. We
come to Serajevo on a friendly visit
and a bomb Is thrown at us. "
He did not make much of the inci
dent and the city hall program was car
ried out in due form. Then he and his
wife started for tho garrison hospital
to see Waldeck ami Morizzo.
Jumps on Running Board.
On their way Prinzip leaped from a
hiding place he had found behind a
horse fronting on the street through
which it was certain the royal automo
bile would pass, jumped on tho running
board of a car just behind it, raisod his
pistol and fired.
Tho ' bullet pierced the archduke's
juglar vein. His wife threw her body
across hir own in an effort too late to
protect him. A second bullet struck
her in the abdomen.

Rulers Take Precautions.
London, June 2!). Dispatches from
nearly every capital in Europe told
today of the extra precautions rulers
and important public men were taking
to protect themselves hgninst attempts
similar to the ono which cost the lives
of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his

In Russia, where a nearly successful

to dynamite the czur's train on tho

CHERRIES, RACES AND
HOSPITALITY ALL GOOD
Cherrians Responsible for the
Success of Annual Festi
val of the Cherry
A grnnd street frolic closed the
Cherry Fair Saturday night with a feast
of merry making after 40,000 people
had witnessed tho first electrical
parade that was ever attempted in any
city in the state outside of Portland.
Salem was thronged with visitors who
were leaving the city on every train
yesterday and many yet remain thia
morning. Salem's biggost and host
Cherry Fair has now passed into history
and the Cherrians who promoted the
show is duo the credit for its success.
A good exhibit of cherries, lively
parades, unbounded entertainment and
hospitality, and fast motorcycle races
to thrill the speed fans wore features
of tho ninth annual festival in honor
of tho cherry which has placed Salem on
the map.
Tho hotels aud restaurants were
crowded but experience gained1 during
years of state fairs has taught tho peo
ple to prepare for such rushes and all
wore served in due time. Hundreds of
farmors wore in th city . in all sorts
of conveyances and hundreds more came
from near by towns In autos and motor,
cycle excursions coming from as far
south as Eugene.
Tho electrical parade fulfilled all ex
pectations but the autos which were
banked alongside tho curbs compelled
the crowds to surge into the streets
where the lack of sufficient police
permitted them to spoil the effect of
tho parade. The floats could not be
seen until they were directly opposite
the spectator and no view of the en
tire parade was' possible. Had the
streets been roped off and the floats
crowded closer together the people of
thlg city would have een ever prouder
of their illuminated parade.
After the parade the bands took up
a position at the end of the street roped
ofi for dancing and after a few dances
for the Cherrians and their guests the
pavilion was turned over to the de
votees of the new dances and plenty
of the old steps, all of the new and
some original steps were tried out by
tho many couples which took part in
the mardi gras festival. The dance
continued until midnight but the streets
were full of people until long after and,
tho small hours of the morning only saw
the end of the biggest and best cherry
fair.
Maccabees Are In Line.
One of the features of the electrical
parade was tho Knights of the Macca
bees in uniform rank with their glitter
ing helmets, armor and Spears. Late in
the season tho lodge members were
asked to participate in the procession
and by hastily summoning their mem
bers they succeeded in turning out 62
strong with 18 visiting knights. They
practically got up from a banquet table
to march. Among the number march-
