'V. ..(St1* S & i'&x ES ASSASSINS: PUNS ARE WELL MADE ing of Austrian Heir Due to Plot.7 FRANCIS FERDINAND HAD BEEN WARNED Officially Informed of th.? Dan gerous Nature of Hi ss Visit to Bosnia. J* *i* *J* !$?- J I &!- J**I $- J* Sarajevo, Bosnia, June 30. Martial law has been proclaim- 4- ed, both In the city and the J* district of Sarajevo, in conse quence of the assassination of S* Archduke Francis Ferdinand and the Duchess of Hohen berg. N Tendon, June 30.Every dispatch from Sarajevo and Vienna brought ad ditional evidence that the assassina tion of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and the Duchess of Hohenberg was one of the must caretully planned crimes ever carried" out against royal ty. Archduke Francis Ferdinand, it is asserted, was well aware of the dan ger he was running during his tour of Bosnia, which he undertook as in spector general of the forces of the empire. This title was conferred up on him last year by Emperor Francis Joseph. His chief task was to in spect the Austrian army, which guard ed the Servian frontier during the re cent Balkan wars and prevented any encroachments by Servian troops. The Servian minister at Vienna told Archduke Francis Ferdinand of the peril of his" visit to Sarajevo at the present time, and implored him even if he insisted on going there himself at least to leave the duchess at home. When the Duchess of Hohenberg was informed, however, of the dan gerous nature of the journey the arch duke was about to take, she said her place was at her husband's side. Signs of Hostility Shown. When the archduke and the duchess arrived at Sarajevo Satv.yday some signs of hostility were shown by the Serb population. Just before the cou ple passed through the city the -au- thorities succeeded in getting rid of a great display of Servian flags, which the people had hoisted^instead of fly ing the Austrian colors. The bitterness of feeling, however, was carried- to the extreme when at a session of the Bosnian diet, called to express sorrow at, the death of the archduke, four Servian deputies ap peared in light suits in contrast to the somber black of their fellow depu .ties. The plans of the assassins contem plated, it is said, the blowing up of the roya? train, when the archduke and his wife were leaving Sarajevo, in case the attempt by Gavrio Prinzip failed. It is learned that several bombs were found along the Sarajevo railway over which the archduke and his wife would have traveled. DETAILS OF THE SLAYING Was Second Attempt of the Day on Lives of Victims. Sarajevo, Bosnia, June 30.A dou ble tragedy was added to the long list in the reign of Emperor Francis Jo seph of Austria when Archduke Fran cis Ferdinand, heir to the throne, and his morganatic wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, fell dead under a fusil lade of bullets fired by Gavrio Prin zip, an eighteen-year-old Servian stu dent. Archduke Ferdinand and his wife left Vienna last Thursday for a tour of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They were in the best of he'alth and spirits. The double murder occurred while the royal party was motoring through the streets of Sarajevo, the Bosnia capital, after attending a* re ception at the town hall. It was the second attempt of the day on the archduke's life, the first occurring while he was going to the reception, when Neideljo Gabrinovics, twenty-one years old, hurled a bomb filled with nails and Lits of lead at the royal car. The archduke saw the deadly missile coming through the air and warded it off with his arm. Archduke's Aids Are Wounded. It exploded outside, slightly wound ing aids-decamp in a second car and a half dozen spectators. The duchess tried to persuade her husband from venturing in the car again, but M. Potiorek, governor of Bosnia, reas sured them with the remark: "It's all over now.

The archduke gave what aid he could to the injured and ordered his car to proceed When the burgomaster began his customarj address at the town hall the archduke interrupted sharply: "Herr Burgomaster, we have come to pay you a \isit and bombs have been thrown at us. This is altogether an amazing Jndignity." Alter a moment's pause he said: "Now you may speak." After leaving the hall the archduke and duchess said they wished to visit the wounded membeis^ot their suite at the hospital and were on their mis sion ot mercj when, at Rudolph and Franz-Josef streets, Prinzip began fir ing. The assassin had been carefully coached in his part, but the presence of the duchess in the carnage made him hesitate momentarily. Duchess Hit by First Bullet. Then he fired. His bullet struck the duchess. He fired again imme diately and his second shot lodged in the archduke's ihroat, severing the jugular vein. Herself almost unconscious, the duchess, by superhuman endeavor, raised the bleeding body ot her royal husband in her arms. Her blood ran with his as she wept and pleaded tor his life "not to pass out with the bloody stream. He died as she held him. As his body stiffened the mortally wounded wife fell oh her knees pray ing and herself died in this position. The -governor was in the car, but escaped uninjured. shouted to the. chauffeur to rush "to the palace. Physicians were in readiness there but their services were useless. Both the archduke aaftd duchess died before arriving.y \V~' The archduke died, as he probably would have preferred to die, in the arms of his wifethe wife whom he married in the-face of the strongest opposition and who herself renounced all claims to royalty.

S^^ tICWashington, June 30.It is con fidently believed here that there will be a congressional investigation of the Bart that great oil interests in this "epuntry and England have .taken in the Mexican situation. Members of congress in both branches are thoroughly aroused over the disclosures made and from prac tically every side there is a demand that the whole situation be exhaus tively sifted so that public officials may know the facts and so that they can be understood by the American public. Those of the Minnesota delegation who~ discussed the matter unanimous ly agreed that either congress or the administration should go to the bot tom of the affair. Great indignation was expressed by some o\e the po sition in which the government is placed, although the Minnesota mem bers said they believed that all that had been done thus far had been from the highest and "most patriotic motives.
