Tuesday, May 26, 1914. Equipping Assassins.

Grabež, Ciganović and Princip in Kalemegdan Park, May 1914

Bosnian Serbs' Gavrilo Princip, Trifko Grabež, and Nedeljko Čabrinović were supplied weapons and training by Serbian Major Vojislav Tankosić.  Tankosić was a member of the Black Hand Serbian military society, and the goal was to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, who was scheduled to inspect military maneuvers in Sarajevo in June.

Suffragist Maude Kate Smith damaged the painting Primavera by artist George Clausen at the Roycal Academy Summer Exhibition, as somehow that was supposed to advance the cause of women.

How isn't clear.

Theodore Roosevelt spoke to the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C. about the "River of Doubt" expedition.
