A Archduke Ferdinand and Morganatic Wife Slain By Young Student CRIME APPARENTLY CAREFULLY PLANNED Preparations Made for More Than Attempt to End Life of Ruler Sarayevo, Bosnia, June 29.—Martial law was proclaimed today both in the city and the district of Sarayevo In consequence of the assassination yes terday of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and the Duchess of Hohenberg. Death masks of the archduke and the duchess were taken today and the bodies placed on a catafalque in the chapel of the palace and surrounded by a magnificent display of wreaths and other floral emblems from all parts of the country. According to the semi official report of the tragedy when Gaviro Prinzip, the young assassin fir ed the fatal shots, Field Marshal Oskar Potiorek, governor of Bosnia was seat ed In the archduke's motor car. Count Francis Von Harrach was standing on the foot board of the car acting as a shield to the occupants of whom he constituted himself the special body guard after the bomb had been thrown a short time before by Nedeljo Gabri novics. The archduke was joking with the count about his precautions when the: reports of several shots rang out. The aim of the assassin was so true! that each of the bullets inflicted a mor tal wound. For an instant after the attack Field Marshal Potiorek thought the arch-j duke and the duchess seated opposite him had again escaped. Neither the archduke nor the duchess uttered a sound but a moment afterward it W& seen they had been hit. Lieut. Co*. Erik Meri1":! who had been wounded by the bomb in the first attack -was todav pronounced out of danger while the injury sustained by Count Von Boos-Waldeck is said to be inslgnifi cant. The Croatian students here to-1 day made several attempts to punish th* Serbs but the troops were called In and maintained order. Gabrinovics, it was learned today had been expelled from Sarayevo two years ago but had been recently per mitted to return through the interven-1 tion of a socialist member of the Bos-1 nla diet. Some Servian students here when they heard the news of the assassma tion shouted: "Thank God we need not do it ourselves." They were arrest ed as accomplices of the assassins. Carefully Planned. London, June 29.—Every dispatch today from Sarayevo and Vienna brought additional evidence that the assassination yesterday of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and the Duchess of Hohenberg was one of the most care fully planned crimes ever carried out •gainst royal personages. The arch duke was heir apparent to the Aus trian throne. Indications from the scene of the tragedy show that it was engineered by persons possessing more mature or ganizing ability than that of the youth ful assassins. It is generally thought in Austria and Hungary that the plot ters had their headquarters in Bel grade, the Servian capital. Servian hatred of Austrians, which always has been violent, has been fomented by the newspapers in Belgrade and by agi tators throughout Servia and Bosnia, who have helped to inflame the minds of the students and to induce them to sacrifice their lives in the belief that they will go down in history as pa triots., Yesterday's crime seems likely to have a contrary effect to that desired by ltB authors. Even before the bodies of the murdered couple have been in terred, the Austrian authorities are contemplating severe measures against the Serbs among the inhabitants of Austria and Bosnia. These measures are Ukely further to embitter the re lations between the two countries as well as those between Austria and Russia, the protector of the Serbs. Archduke Francis Ferdinand, it is asserted todp,y, was well aware of the danger 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 upon him last year by Emperor Francis Jo seph. His chief task was to inspect the Austrian army which guarded the Servian frontier during the recent Balkan wars and prevented any en croachments by Servian troops. The Servipn minister at Vienna told Archduke Francis Ferdinand of the peril of his visit to Sarayevo. 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 dangerous nature of the journey the archduke was about to take, she said her place was at her husband's side. When the archduke and the duchess arrived at Sarayevo on Saturday some signs of hostility were shown by the Serb por- (Coct'nued on Page 5) *7 ,-vx EMPEROR FBAN2 JOSEPH.

The situation produc ed by the equally tragic death of Arch duke Rudolph repeats itself today. Archduke Francis Ferdinand when he became heir presumptive was as comparatively unknown as is Archduke Karl today but with this important dif ference that Emperor Francis Joseph then had prospectB of many years to reign. Now the empire must in a com paratively short time be governed by an inexperienced prince instead of a ruler with twenty years experience.

It was argued that should a youthful and inexperlenc ed ruler like the Archduke Charles Francis Joseph, son of the late Arch duke Otto, suddenly be called on to take the reigns of government a period of anxiety might supervene.
