APPEAL FOR. HELP.
Kansas City, Kans., Flood Suffer-
ers Still in Dire Need of
Outside Assistance.
Kansas City, Mo., June 12.—Kansas
City, Ka,n., is still sorely in need of aid
for its flood sufferers. A zsecond urgent
appeal to the committee at large has been
issued by the relief committee of that
city. It follows:
“The destitution, on the part of the flood
sufferers in Kansas City, Kan., demands
immediate relief. Local charity is totally
inadequate to meet the situation. Outside
assistance is imperative. Two entire
wards and parts of two others, compris-
ing at least 23‘,OCO souls out of a population
of 60,000 in the entire , are made home-
less and dependent. Hundreds of their
homes have been swept away and those
that remain have been left with a deposit
of filth, both inside and out, of from one
to. three feet in depth. In most instances
persons were able to .save only the cloth-
ing they wore. Their household goods and
clothing have been swept away or de-
stroyed by water and mud.
“Kansas City, Kan., has fed and shel-
tered these 23,000 persons for 11 days.
■While the number dependent on charity
is gradually diminishing as employment
opens up, yet there will be many thou-
sands dependent on charity for food,
clothing and household goods for weeks
to come. Thei funds raised up to the pres-
ent time have been nearly exhausted. The
authorities will be unable to cope with
existing conditions unless the outside pub-
lic shall come to their aid. The city offi-
cials have inaugurated a vigorous and ef-
fective system for the care of the flood
sufferers. Money and supplies in large
amounts will be needed to prevent ex-
treme. suffering. All donations from the
general public should be sent to Thomas
B. Gilbert, mayor of Kansas City, Kan.
Unlike its sister city, Kansas City, Mo.,
Kansas City, Kan., has no wealthy citi-
zens to whom it may look for aid. Its
population is made up.largely of working
people.

OPERATION ON ROOSE V ELT S COUSIN
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 12.—Miss Ellen
C. Roosevelt, a -cousin to the president of
the United (States, has been successfully
operated upon, for appendicitis at her home
in this city. Miss Roosevelt was at one
time a champion, lawn tenths player and is
an expert in the handling of ice yachts.
PROMPT RESPONSE TO ALARM.
The fire department were all called out
yesterday in response to a general alarm,
and in less time than it takes to tell it the
whole department were on the scene. The
fire is supposed ‘ to have originated from
rats cutting into a box of matches, and
but for the prompt response of the fire
department the loss would have run up
into thousands of dollars, not to mention
several cases of Sea Wall Bond Beer
which were growing cold under several
blocks of ice which is being used freely
since the reduction in the price.

KING AND QUEEN
REST TOGETHER.
Two Stories of Burial of Assassi-
nated Sovereigns.
TROOPS ON THE MARCH
TO AVENGE ALEXANDER
Other Stories Are to the Effect All Is
Now Quiet at the Servian
Capital.
Belgrade, Servia, June 12.—King Alexan-
der and Queen Draga, who were assassi-
nated early yesterday morning in the
royal palace, were buried during the night
in the family vault of the Obrenovitchs
in the chapel of the cemetery of St. Mark.
The interment was carried out with com-
plete secrecy between 1.30 and. 3 o’clock
this morning.
Col. Naumovich will be buried this
morning.
The city is lavishly decorated with flags
and the national colors.
All officers yesterday removed Alexan-
der’s cipher from the cockades on their
ca.ps.
TRIOUBLEI AHEAD.
Loyal Troops on March to Avenge Alex-
ander.
Berlin, June. 12.—A dispatch to the Lokal
Anzieger from Banfolanzieger from Buda-
pest says the‘garrison of Nish; wher e King
Alexander was most popular, is, according
to a railroad official who has arrived at
Budapest from Belgrade, marching to the
Servian capital with full war equipment
and artillery.
DISHONORED IN DEATH.
Another Story of the Burial of Murdered
Royalties.
London, June 12.—A special dispatch
says the bodies of the king and queen, of
Servia were buried in a large pit dug in
the village of Rakovita, and that as a
mark of ignominy the bodies of their mur-
dered relatives and those of the ministry
killed were placed above them, and then
the common grave was filled with earth.
• TROUBLE IIS BREWING.
Paris Doubts the Alleged Tranquility of
Belgrade.
Paris, June 12.—The foreign office here
received a dispatch from the French
agent on the IStervian frontier confirming
press announcements that the new gov-
ernment at Belgrade, had abolished the
legislative assembly created by the late
King Alexander and had renewed the
ancient sfcujjschtina. which has been or-
dered to assemble next Monday for the
purpose of ratifying the proclamation of
Prince Peter Karageorgevitch as king.
The assembly just 'abolished was made
up of appointees of the late king and did
not contain a member who was opposed
to Alexander’s policy. The dispatch adds
that Belgrade continues quiet, the people
apparently being reconciled to the new
conditions.
Officials here doubt the truth of the re-
port that Belgrade is quiet, a.s authorities
here are unable to secure further direct
dispatches from Belgrade. Even official
dispatches, which have reached Paris, ap-
pear to have, been mutilated-
It is staled authoritatively that thus far
there has been no exchange of communi-
cations between the powers concerning
Prince Karageorgevitch’s assumption of
the throne of Servia, but officials are be-
ginning to seriously consider the delicate
question of recognition of the new sov-
ereignty. It is expected the Servian au-
thorities will convoeate a meeting of for-
eign ministers at Belgrade and present
them with definite evidence that the peo-
ple want a new government and that it
has ability to maintain order and guar-
antee safety to foreigners.
When the ministers have a.dvised their
respective Governments that such assur-
ances have been received the powers will
determine, whether rcognition shall be ac-
corded.
It is considered probable that the
powers will, act together on the question
of giving or withholding recognition.
It is further stated that if the powers
individually or collectively protest against
the bloody methods used there Is likely to
occur a, hitch with the question of recog-
nizing the new government.
The latter thus far has not addressed
any communication to the powers, the
latter receiving all their information from
their own ministers or from agents.
i NEW PREMIER TALKS.
Sensational Stories Are Published in
Vienna, Newspapers.
Vienna, June 12.—(Servian Premier M.
Avakumovics is quoted in a dispatch from
Belgrade today as saying:
“I returned home yesterday from
Alinatz, where I was on professional legal
business. I was a,t once summoned to the
ministry, where other ministers had as-
sembled. They informed me that a deed
was committed. At their request I ac-
cept the premiership. The cabinet meets
today and will consider what steps shall
next be taken;
"At present we are not in communica-
tion with Karageorgevitch. Even if the
army has proclaimed him king, his elec-
tion as king is probable, however, as there
is no other course open.
“It will remain for the skupschina to
elect him or not.”
ISensatjonal stories, many of which were
undoubtedly sent for the purpose of po-
litical influence, are being published here,
the most revolting of them being that sol-
diers outraged Queen Draga and muti-
lated the body of King Alexander, and
that those admitted to the palace yester-
day ,spat and stamped upon them.
HAD TO KILL HIM.
Death of Alexander Claimed to Have Been
Necessary.
Berlin, June 12.—A dispatch to the Col-
ogne Gazette from Belgrade today says the
massacre lasted three-quarters of an hour.
An assailant declared the killing of King
Alexander was unavoidable, because, if the
queen alone had been murdered or removed
the court clique would have incited the
king to persecution and reprisals.
A window in the, Russian legation at Bel-
grade was shattered by a bullet during the
fusllade at the palace.
WILL NOT INTERFERE.
Russia and Austria Will Permit Servia to
Solve Hei’ Difficulties.
London, June 12.—The Servian minister
here has received confirmation of the state-
ment that neither Russia nor Austria will
interfere in the Servian choice of a sever ■
cign. He anticipates that Prince Peter
Karageorgevlch will await at Geneva a
summons from parliament, a deputation
from which will probably go to Geneva and
escort the new king to Belgrade.
FEELING AT 1ST.’ PETERSBURG.
St. Petersburg, June 12.—The tragedy at
Belgrade yesterday caused an immense
impression here. The newspapers express
Indignation and horror at the outrage,
parallels for which, they add, are only
findable in ancient times. At the sa.me
time the papers consider that any inter-
ference of the powers in Servian Inter-
national affairs at present is not permissi-
ble, although developments might compel
Russia and Austria to take action.
PREMIER. REGRETS IT.
Budapest, June 12.—In the Hungarian
diet Premier Kolomon de Szell, following
other members of the diet who expressed
horror at the occurrence at Belgrade to-
day, said he. would confine himself to an
expression of deep sorrow and indignation
produced by the outrages, the conse-
quence of which at present could not be
foreseen.
ABANDONED HIS PRETENTIONS.
Vienna,, June 12.—Prince Alexis Kara-
georgevitch, nephew of the newly pro-
claimed king of Servia, who -has himself
been a pretender to the throne, during the
course of an interview here today an-
nounced he had abandoned all claim
thereto: and welcomed the advent of his
uncle as the best solution.
NOT 'OFFICIALLY PROCLAIMED.
Washington, D. June 12.—The state
department has received the following
cablegram from Charles S. Watson, secre-
tary of the legation at Athens, dated yes-
terday:
‘‘No new king has been officially pro-
claimed. The national assembly decides
on Monday.”
WAR. VESSELS AT BELGRADE.
Vienna, June 12.—(The Austrian river
monitors <Shamos, Leitha, Maros and
Koeroes are said to have anchored before
Belgrade yesterday evening.
It is reported the garrison of Nish,
Servia. has refused obedience to the new
government.
BELGRADE IS QUIET.
Belgrade, June 12.—Everything is quiet
thus far throughout the country according
to all official and other reports.
RELATIONS ARE
NOW STRAINED
Ugly Feeling Between Nicaragua
and Costa Rica Over Later
Aiding Revolutionists.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
6‘a.n Jose, Costa Rica, June 2.—The rela-
tions between Costa Rica and Nicaragua
have been for the last few weeks very
strained. It is stated-in diplomatic circles
that while the Eovernment of Costa Rica
protested friendship to Nicaragua it was
aiding the revolution and co-operating
with other Central American states to
overthrow President Zelaya. The Nica-
raguan cabinet wants an understanding
with the president of Costa Rica and has
sent .Secretary Sanchez to hold a confer-
ence with him, to warn him against
further interference.

Hendrickson, 23 years old, a bridegroom
of two months and brother-in-law to the
former wife of Louis L. Dlsbrow, who

cide. Hendrickson was well known on

EVIDENCE IS ALL IN.
Presbytery of the Brazos Will De-
cide Church Matter.
CHURCH FEELING IS INTENSE
Object of the Pi'esbytei’y la to
Straighten Out Tangles and Solve
Church. Difficulties.
The Presbytery of the Brazos, noiw in
session in Galveston, remained in session
until 2 o’clock this morning. "Witnesses
giving testimony on the matter that
brought about the meeting of the presby-
tery were examined until that hour. Mem-
bers of both sides of the controversy re-
mained in the church building until the
hour the presbytery adjourned. Nearly
every one of the members of the congre-
gation who remained at the church until 2
o’clock this morning was present when the
presbytery convened again at 8 o’clock this
morning. They were tired, but had lost
none of their determination. They had.
prepared to see the controversy through,
and if anything the feeling that exists
among the divided congregation is strong-
er today than it was yesterday.
The stated clerk of the presbytery, Dr.
Tanner, informed a Tribune reporter just
before noon that all the' witnesses had been
examined and the presbytery was then
considering itd decision. Unofficially it
was learned that this decision will en-
deavor to effect a reconciliation between
the members of the congregation.
It is well within the range of possibilities
that the presbytery will submit the results
of its hearing some time this afternoon,
but no inkling could be obtained from an
official source as to what this report will
recommend.
It was learned from one of the members
of the church who has followed the pro-
ceedings from the convening of the pres-
bytery that a proposition has been made
to divide the church, the section of the con-
gregation retaining- the present church
building to recompense the section that
withdraws for the property retained. This
proposition will not be acted upon until
the presbytery makes it report. In the
event the report of the presbytery does
not meet with the .approval of a majority
of the church members here it is well with-
in the range of possibilities that this propo-
sition will be accepted.
Within the church today the same faces
that were seen yesterday were to be seen.
The two factions of the congregation are
still occupying different sections of the
main auditorium. They are sitting close
together and at noon were evidently dis-
cussing the matters under consideration
by the presbytery. Their voices were
pitched very law. but it was evident that
the greatest of earnestness was put into
their talks. To an outsider it would ap-
pear that both sides are thoroughly con-
vinced of the justice of their contentions,
and in talking with representatives of both
factions whenever a compromise was men-
tioned it was vigorously combatted.
No formal charges have been lodged be-
fore the presbytery. This much can be
truthfully stated. In fact both sides agreed
that the account of the cause for the, con-
vening of the presbytery that was pub-
lished in yesterday’s Tribune was a fair
exposition of the present troubles. Inter-
est in the outcome of the meeting of the
presbytery has not abated and the meeting
is the theme of universal comment on the
streets of Galveston, today. Incidentally
this interest is not confined to the mem-
bers of the Presbyterian church, but to
citizens generally.
HERIE US THE VERDICT.
Rev. C, E. Sullivan Will Leave First
Presbyterian Church.
The following is the finding of the pres-
bytery of the Brazos in the matter which
it has been investigating for two days:
Resolved, that because of the unwise
action of same of the officers and mem-
bers of the First Presbyterian church of
Galveston in hastily a,nd without adequate
cause insisting on the immediate resigna-
tion of Rev. C. E. (Sullivan, there exists
in said church a condition making the dis-
solution of the pastoral relation advisable
and necessary, and it is ordered that the
pastoral relations existing between said
church and pastor (be dissolved; that
evangelistic authority be hereby given
Rev. C. E. (Sullivan in this presbytery un-
til the next regular meeting of this pres-
bytery; that we commend Mr. Sullivan as
a,n able, pious and conscienrlous Christian
pastor.
Resolved, that Brazos presbytery ex-
tends to Rev. C. E. Sullivan and to the
members of the First Presbyterian church
of Galveston its thanks for the elegant
entertainment of the body while in ses-
sion at Galveston.
