June rioting by furious mobs occupied on the streets here this afternoon. Scores ot Servian business places and dwellings were demolished by pro- government mobs while preparations were being made to remove the bodies of the assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his consort to Vienna tonight. Police and soldiers charged the rioters ineffectually in several quarters. It is reported that several Servians Were killed. Late this afternoon the fury of the moo was incieasing and it was believed that when the bodies of the Servian assassin's victims are removed i the army hospital there is grave danger of a slaughter of the Serbs by the infuriated Austrians.

Officials today declared that after Ferdinand received Gavrio bullets through the neck and as he lay in the arms of his wounded wife his words were: "Sophie, you must live lor the sake of our children. Then he immediately expired. It was announced today that the body of Franz Ferdinand will not lie In the imperial crypt in the Capuchin Church in Vienna, but that the archduke and the countess of Hohenberg i be interred side by side in the private crypt of the picturesque castle of Amstettcn, which overlooks the Danube. Martia! law was proclaimed in the city late thi afternoon and Austrian troops took possession of all strategic points, after warning with drum and trumpet was sounded throughout the streets. This action was taken after the behavior of the mobs became particularly threatened.

Reports were current that their activities were started by the explosion of a bomb oy a Servian on a corner near the city's center. Two persons were said to have been injured by the explosion and a score of Serbs were badly battered by the furious mob. Then its leaders formed into a. long procession with the portrait of Emperor Franz Joseph in the lead. Serb residences and stores along the lino of march were broken into, looted and demolished, until a strong force of soldiers dispersed the rioters.

of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand that caused Servia's hatred of the Hapsburgs, the family to which he be longed. Servia hates Austria-Hungary because that monarchy prevented realization of the Servian dream of a port on the Adriatic, follow ing the ision of land acquired in the latest Balkan war. In IflOS llerzegovia and JJosnia were absorbed by Austria, which sought further and further to extend its boundary southward and to acquire more extensive Slav territory. Backed always by Russia, Servia has resented this onward of the dual monarchy--nd has always blamed Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the strong, the ambitious, for Austria's aggressive policy, raiher than the aged Emperor Franz Joseph. Dominant Austria-Hungary has long been hated by Montenegro and other small principalities who felt slowly but surely Francis Ferdinand was absorbing their territory.

Archduke Francis Ferdinand died, as he probably would have preferred to dfe, in the arms ot his beloved wife--the wife whom he married in the face of strongest opposition, and who herself renounced all claims to royalty. The Duchess pleaded with her husband after the bomb throwing not to expose himself again. He would not hear her warnings, and insisted on making his visit to the hospital to inquire concerning those whom the assassins bomb had injured. His wife, not the less courageous, insisted that she go with him. Assassin Coached In His Part.

The assassin had evidently been caiefullj coached in his part. He lay in wait at a spot where he knew the carriage would have to slow up because of a curve in the road. The presence of the duchess in the carriage made him hesitate momentarily. Then he lired. His bullet struck tne duchess.

Immediately his second shot lodged in the archduke's throat, severing the jugular vein. Herself almost unconscious duchess by superhuman endeavor, raised the bleeding body of her royal husband in her arms, hei blood ran with his as she wept am pleaded for his life not to pass ou with the bloody streams. He died as she held him. As his body stiffened the mortally wounded wife fell on her knees, praying, and hedself died in The Honors That Would Be Yours- THINK VILLA INTENDS TO FORCTSHOWDOWN Whispered in Constitutionalist Camps That Final Break With Carranza Has Come and Villa Will Run Independent Revolution.

The automobile, mean- rope may be altered by two assassins' bullets that yesterday struck down to instant death at Sarajevo, Bosnia, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary and his morganatic wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg. Gravest fears are entertained here that the octogenarian Ern- peror Franz Joseph, now en route here while, had been speeding to a physician. The royal couple were dead a few moments after the shots.

Careworn and feeble the aged Emperor Franz Joseph, arrived here at 11 o'clock this morning. The populace, massed at the station, gave him re- c.pectful greeting in a tremendous demonstration.

Ministers Berchtold lind Tisza met the monarch, and on his arrival at the palace, he imrnedi- fctely called a ministerial conference. Black flags float from all public fcuildings today and from nearly all the houses. The greatest apprehension is felt that the emoeror, -weakened by Ins recent prolonged illness, may not feurvive this latest tragedy in his life. The heat here is terrific and debilitating in the extreme to aged ruler. Sarajevo Under Martial Law.

Reports here today said that Sara- jevo was practically under martial law while the government sought the details of the plot which they believe was responsible for the tragedy. Two students, one of whom threw a bomb at the royal pair, which the archduke deflected from his carriage Tithoul injury, and another, who later lired the shots which caused their death, aru helJ. They disclaim any plot but police are certain the long smoul- dering hatred of the Servian part of the was behind the murders. The bomb tVirower was a Servian compositor. named Gabrinovics.

who came to Sarajevo from Trebinje. The murderer was Gavrio Princip, also a Servian, of Grahovo, a mere boy of nineteen years of age, who said he was a student. Supporting the authorities' belief of a widespread plot was the discovery of a third bomb, unexploded where the tragedy occurred. Third Assassin Stood Ready. It is assumed that a third assassin Blood ready to hurl this at the royal couple, had Princip's bullets not found their mark.

This bomb came from Belgrade. Servia, according to the police. Rigid questioning of the two Ser- vians failed to elicit any admission of a plot.

Heir Charles Francis Joseph, situation tempt to place her on the throne with him, and that his children by her would forfeit their right to the throne.

Emperor Franz Joseph agreed to this morganatic marriage. The hide bound conventions of tha court were never better illustrated today in the official bulletins given out of the assassination. The Vienna Gazette, official paper, described the death of the archduke in detail in its official section, with no mention of his consort. In another section, unofficially the death of the wife was described. Grave Danger to Peace of Europe.

LONDON, June at the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, was overshadowed here todap by the fear that the gravest danger tp the peaca of Europe may be the result of the murders. The killing of the archduke was regarded here as a concrete expression of the Serbs determination to resist to the last absorption into the -Austro-Hungarian empire. The dread was expressed in ail quarters that othe-- assassinations might follow, espc. ially if Austria, enraged by the crime, puts into effect further repressive measures against the Slavs and Serbs in her recently acquired territories in Bosnia and Herzegovina- Should such measures be taken, or even without them, the Servian and GAS COMPANY WANTS TO ISSUE MORE NOTES Asks Authority for $500,000 Issue to Pay Off Same Amount of Three-Year Notes Authorized in July of 1911. The Lincoln Gas Electric Light company has asked leave of the state railway commission to issue $500,000 of notes to take up notes that are due August 1.

The Omaha Lincoln Light company, which operates a line of interurban road from South Omaha to Fapillion has asked for authority to issue securities amounting to $120,000 to pay for improvements and extension and to apply on purchase price. The commission has not acted on either application. The Lincoln Gas company desires to issue $500,000 of -three-year 6 per cent notes to pay off 6 per cent notes that are payable August 1. The railway commission authorized the gas company, under date of July 12, 1911, to issue the notes which the company now desires to take up. The company says it now has outstanding 12.250,000 of common stock and there is also outstanding a mortgage securing an issue of $333,000 6 per cent mortgage bonds, and there is outstanding a mortgage on the company's entire property securing an issue of $1.500,000 of 5 per cent irst consolidated mortgage bonds due December 1, 1914.

of which bonds Jiere is outstanding in the hands of the public $767.000. and in the hands of a trustee $333.000, and $400,000 ledged as collateral to the notes issued under date of July 12, 1914. The gas company says in its appli- Russian interests were expected to be i cation that the bond market has been drawn closer by the killing. German had and st nas been to sell its influence over the untried heir to the bonds, and the only arrangement it Austrian throne is regarded as cer- has been able to make for paying the notes is to issue of 6 per cent tain to grow with the removal of Ferdinand, who. while a friend to Germany, was strong enough to nullify the preponderance of German influence at Vienna.

Lines, it is believed. will thus be clearly drawn tietween Russia and Germany in the contest for 3 dominant position in central Europe and the long expected explosion which has been feared for may come quickly if the death of the aped --mptror Franz follows soon upon hi? latest shock. While no arrangements have et been made here for the royal funeral it was unofficially that the ceremony would probably be held :0. three year notes. TCo dividends have been paid by the company since the commission ossucd its order of July 12, 1911.

It is further represented in the gas company's application that it has outstanding $40,000 of floating short time indebtedness. The company for a continuation of that part of the order of the commission issued in 1911 authorizing it to sell certain preferred stock. It asks the permission be given for the sale of $500,000 of notes at not less than 95 cents on the dollar to enable the company to pay outstanding notes, bills payable, acquisition of property and improvement 61 the company's facilities. Proposed Railway Securities. The Omaha Lincoln Light company desires to issue $95,000 of its bonds and $25,000 of stock.

The company bought a line of road from South Omaha to Papillion, August 15, 1913, from William B. McKinley, trustee. August 19, 1913. the railway commission gave the company permission to issue $125,000 of bonds and of that amount $75,000 was issued for the purpose of defraying the purchase price of the line The company alleges it has expended since that time $120,155 for THE WEATHER TODAY'S TEMPERATURES.

June Carnmza's latest excuse for'delay in sending representatives to the mediation conferences is that he must consult i all his generals. The South American diplomatic colony here regards this as a subterfuge.

They expect that within a few dajs the A. B. C. mediators, tired of delay, will ask that Secretary Bryan Immediately keep the administration's promise of participation in mediation by Carranza. Rear Admiral Fletcher, who arrived last night from Vera Cruz, will tell his story of the battle at that port to President Wilson.

Reports reached here today that General Medina Barren had died at Transcosa of wounds received in the battle of Zacateeas. This has not been contl-med, nor has another version that Barren committed suicide because his troops were so badly defeated. in the history ot Mexican warfare has an army boen so nearly annihilated. It is now stated that fewer than 1,000 of the original array of 14 000 would reach Queretaro. The federal dead are estimated at nearly 4.000 arid the wounded are more than that.

The chairman says that the meeting is called for the purpose of "talking things over." This will of course include a discussion of the situation within the state and nation, particularly the organization condition within the state. The chairman may even want to learn some things that he has not been able to find out. He may want to know how extensively the new party is putting county candidates into the field.

His knowledge of this condition is not complete.

Hutton, former members of the city council, no longer adorn the outer walls of the city pumping station and the power house in Antelope park.

They have been torn down and out, and prosaic bricks mark the spot where they stood. These were not monuments In the ordinary meaning of the word. They were not heroic statues done in marble or bronze, thug preserving the no- hie lineaments or the graceful proportions of the men honored. They were modest granite slabs placed In the walls. Both Mr.

Mockett and Mr. Hutton were living when they were thus honored, and they are still citizens of Lincoln. The monument to Mr. Mockett was erected in grateful recognition of the gallant fight he made to save the city waterworks system from predatory hands. Private capital was anxious to do the pumping and also looked with covetous eyes upon the plant.

Mr. Mockett won his fight for development ot wells In the Antelope valley at A street, and the slab was 1 his chief reward, although in addition the plant there was named the Mockett pumping station. The slab that sought to commemorate the services of Mr. Hutton was placed in the walls of the electric lighting station, when It was built and the plant was the Hutton lighting station. Mr.

Hutton won his fight for a municipal electric light plant after a long and grueling contest The opposition to it was strong on the part of private capitalists, and because of what Hutton had done his associates in the council proceeded to honor him. Mockett Hutton championed municipal ownership when few persons favored it and when opposition' was strong. That -was before those who sought political office had discovered what a splendid campaign platforrrr--public ownership made. The Mockett slab disappeared from the walls of the pumping station a few months" ago. The Hutton alab was removed a few days ago.

Hereafter no individual will be canonized in this way, as the commissioners are erecting over the entrance to the stations a large electric sign, which will herald this information: "City Water and Lighting Department."
