En Military Honors | for Slain King. Procession Passed Spot Where Ruler Was Shot Down By Lurking Assas sin. ernmental Endorsement of Loan te China. i Repudiation by President Wilson o ' the Knox policy with regard to Chin: | and the proposed six power loan © | $125,000,000 to that republic was an | nounced at the White House. King George of Greece was shot and mortally wounded by an apparently insane man while he was walking in’ the street in Salonika, Turkey, and died half an hour later. ; The body was embalmed and re’ moved from the hospital to the palace on a stretcher borne by his son, Prince Nicholas, and several superior officers of the Greek army. The stretcher was followed by a strangely diversified procession, con-' sisting of regular troops in their cam- paign outfit, officers in brilliant uni- | forms, clergy, civilians, Cretans, Mus- sulmans, Greeks and people of the various Balkan races in a kaleido- scopic variety of costumes. Soldiers of the Greek light infantry, in their quaint kilts surrounded the humble military stretcher as a guard of honor. The procession on its way to the palace passed the spot where King George was shot down. i On arrival at the palace, military honors were given. The body was placed on a bier in the main cham- ber and the Greek metropolitan of- fered prayer. As the civil and military | authorities filed past many of them ' burst into tears. A guard of honor, consisting of Greek captains and priests, the latter continually chanting prayers, will be stationed around the body until it is removed for burial. | Queen Olga, who is now on her way’ to Salonika, fainted in Athens when told of the assassination. Aleka Schinas, who murdered King George 1. of Greece, appears to have lived much abroad. He returned to Salonika only when it was occupied by the Greek army after the surren- der of the Turkish garrison. } The premeditation of the regicide appears to be established by the fact that Schinas lurked in hiding. He rushed out when his royal victim was only six feet from his hiding place and fired point blank into the back of the king. The shooting occurred only a few yards from police headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel Francoudis, the king's aide-de-camp, was walking be- side his royal master, and immediately dre whis revolver. Schinas turned and fired at the aide-de-camp, but the shot went wild. Two Cretan military po- licemen who were acting as an escort to the king dashed at Schinas and pinioned his arms before he could fire again. | When Francoudis saw that the as- sassin had been arrested he turned to King George, who he supposed had es- caped unscathed, and was horrified to find his majesty stretched on the road- way. Francoudis raised the stricken mon- arch’'s head from the pavement, but the king was already unconscious and he never spoke again. Soldiers who had been summoned by the shots lifted the king from the ground and carried him to a hospital. He expired on the way without recov- ering consciousness. When questioned by the police, Schinas truculently replied: “You have courts. I will speak there.” | Pressed to say who he was and what was the motive of his crime, he replied: “Take me to the police sta-! tion so that the crowd shall not mal- treat me. [ will speak there.” i On reaching the police station he! gave his name and a few particulars about himself. Prince Nicholas, the king's third | son, and other officers hurried to the hospital. Arriving first, Prince Nicho- las summoned the officers and, speak- ing in a voice that was choked with sobs, said: “It is my deep grief to have to an- nounce to you the death of our be- loved king, and to invite you to swear fidelity to your new sovereign, King Constantine.” . The officers responded by shouting: “Long live the king.” After Two Hours’ Fight Drive Thirty Seven-Foot Mammal Ashore. Federal coast guards in Ocean City, N. J.,, battled with a sperm whale thirty-seven feet long in the shallow water off Fourth street. They captured the whale after a hard tussle and moved it close to the shore, where it was left by the reced- ing tide. The whale was discovered lashing about several hundred feet from the shore by a number of the beach pa- trol, who summoned other guards from the federal station. The whale gave them an exciting fight before it was steered into shallow water and ul- timately beached. Two of the life sav- ers were knocked over by the blows from the whales tail, Two years ago a large whale was landed near the same spot. Alaskan Women to Vote. The Alaska senate passed the house bill granting votes to women. There was not a dissenting vote in eitther house. The bill exempts women from jury duty. Two Dead In Boiler Explosion.

' five powers, Great Britain, Germany, | 1912 was $3,605,247, a decrease of $1, { was much larger, likewise its blast! A statement from the president's own hand says that the new adminis | tration has declined to request the New York bankers interested to com i ! tinue their participation in the sb power negotiations. Mr. Wilson has taken this action because he does no! approve of the conditions of the wo | posed loan or the responsibilities im plied in governmental endorsement of the proposition. This means that J. P. Morgan a Co., Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the First Na | tional bank and the National City, bank, representing the American in terests, will withdraw from co-opera | von with the bankers of the other France, Russia and Japan. Also the | United States government will with draw from the loan arrangement. | This action by President Wilson ig the first repudiation of a policy of the| Taft administration. It probably fore | shadows the turning down by the new | regime of other features of the Knox. “dollar diplomacy” program. : The Wilson declaration does not, mean, however, that the way is block | ed for the lending of American money; to China. Now that the six power] combination is dissoived any group ol | American bankers will be at liberty to! negotiate with China independently of the bankers of the other five nations. | This is what is expected to follow. President Wilson speaks very plain ly in his statement. He holds that the] past policy of the United States to ward the Chinese loan involves re sponsibilities' that are obnoxious tc the principles upon which the Ameri | can government rests, and that the re ' strictive conditions imposed on China! menace the administrative independ. enec of that republic. | The new president pledges himself, however, to the promotion of all le! gitimate American commercial enter | prises in China, but only through the, “open door"—the “door of friendshig| and mutual advantage.” His statement | is therefore a reaffirmation of the pol icy enunciated toward China by John Hay. ! Mr. Wilson pledges himself further to the support of legislative measure: necessary to the development of Amer ican banking facilities in the Fa: East. ! Steel Trust Earnings $117,926,402. A noteworthy feature of the elev enth annual report of the United, States Steel corporation, covering ‘he! operations for the year 1912, is the! change in the corporation's system of! bookkeeping. The total earnings are given as $117,926,402, this being “exclusive oi charges for interest on bonds and mortgages of subsidiary companies.’ | In previous years total earnings were’ stated, after this deduction was made, | and compare with this year's “balance’ , of earnings,” which are given as $108, 174,673. " i These latter figures compare with $104,305,465 in 1911. Net income for 1912 was $77,075,217, a decrease of $1,250,222 from 1911.

The average number of employes in the service of the corporation for 191% was 221,025, as against 196,888 in 1911. Total annual salaries and wages in 1912 aggregated $189,351,602, an In crease of $27,932,571 over 1911. Hawthorne Guilty of Mail Fraud. Julian Hawthorne, Dr. William J. Morton and Albert Freeman are guilty of using the United States mails tc defraud the public “in conection wib the romotion of four mining properties in Canada which the three men knew to be worthless.” The verdict was rendered in the United States district court in New York by a jury which had been de liberating over twenty-seven hours.

Mr. Underwood found that the wave and means committee would need ll other week to draft the tariff sched ules, and the proclamation is in def erence to the wishes of Mr. Under wood and other house leaders, The absence of any specific reason for the calling of the extra session is explained by the fact that Mr. Wil son's statement immediately after his’ election declared that he would call an extra session to revise the tariff, President Wilson plans to point out specifically his wishes for the extra session in his first mesasge, which he now is preparing. This, it is known! from talks the president has had wilh members of congress, will outline the’ administration's idea of how the tarifi | should be revised and just what sched | ules should be taken up. The belief is general that the entire message will be taken up with a dis cussion of the tariff with the excep tion of the last paragraph or two. which will draw attention to the need of currency legislation at the earliest possible moment and will indicate the; purpose of the president to send later a special message on that or othe: subjects, which he believes should be' taken up by the new congress. i It is understood at the White House that the president's first message will request that currency reform, the inde. pendence of the Philippines and other! important interests be left for the reg: ular session of congress in December. | Arson Chief Confesses. The report that John Danies, aileged chief of the “arson trust,” had made’ a confession was confirmed by Assist. | ant States Attorney Johnston in Chi | CAgo. Danies, according to Johnston, nam- ed several men “higher up,” and ad mitted he had started more thap twenty fires in Chicago. An aggregate of $500,000 in insurance was collected from the Danies fires, said Johnston, who announced that at least forty warrants for business men, fire insur ance adjusters and actual incendiaries, named by Danies, would be sworn out. “1 tried to get out of the business, but people would not let me alone,” said Danies in his confession. “They kept sending for me to do jobs for them, and I kep on going in the same old way for fiffeen years. My experi ence with fires began in my own home, and when I settled for the insurance an adjuster told me that I could make lots of money by setting incendiary fires. That's how I got mixed up in this rotten stuff.” Hollis Is New Hampshire Senator. Henry A. Hollis, Democrat, was elected as United States senator by the legislature in Concord, N. H. The election broke the long dead: lock which has rivaled in national po liticai interest the double-deadlock in the Illinois legislature.
