Next Important Move Expected

Irregulars.

ATHENS, April 1.-The frontier sit
uation is developing. slowly for two
reasons. In the first place bad weather
SHOWS, rain and bitterly cold winds
has made campaigning in the noun.
famous districts anything but a picnic,
and has retarded all movements. In
the second place, intentional or other
wise, all dispatches are being consider
ably delayed, a not unusual occurrence
since the beginning of the present cri-
sis. But if the development Is slow it
is none the less m%enacing, and an open
outbreak of hostilit.es or a backdowu
on the part of one or the other, or both
of the countries interested, cannot be
much longer delayed, as the strain of
maintaining armies of about 100, 900
men each in the field is being felt with
steadily increasing severity by both
Turkey and Greece, SO that a declara.
ton of war would be welcomed by
either side with a feeling of relief.

OBITUARY..
SAMUEL WATERHOUSE.


Samuel Warehouse. the veteran cloth
ing merchant, died at his residence yes
terday on Carleton street. The immedi-
ate cause of his death was kidney trouble.
Mr.. Waterhouse was born in Portland
so vars ago and has lived here all his
life. In 1910 he went into the clothing
business on the southerly side of Fore
street, corner of Market street. He re-
manned there for period of about ten
years and then moved across the street.
He has been located there ever since,
although the situation of his store has
been somewhat changed. Mr.. Water
house was one of the Oldest merchants in
the state and city and certainly was the
Oldest clothing dealer here. Fifty seven
years of continuous business entitled
him to be called veteran Mr. Water
house was a director at one time in the
old Portland and Rochester. He was a
member of Ancient Brothers. lodge of
Odd Fellows, having Joined it in 1898.
He was a member of the board of alder.
men in 1875 and 1876, and of the common
council in 1862. He leaves two sons.

TRUSTEES WITHDREW OFFER.
Portland VIII formally Apply to Them for
a Manual Training School.

The Walker trustees have Withdrawn
their offer to mako the city of Portland q
present of a manual training school
building at the corner of Casco and Cum
berland streets. Instead of this offer the
trustees are to await until the desires of
the city of Portland in the matter are
known and then they will build the city
manual training school thoroughly
equipped for work at any place which
the city desires. II the city should desire
the manual training school to be erected
at the corner of Cumberland and Casco
streets the first offer will again be made.
The above is practically the result Of
the meeting of the Walker estate trustees
and the special committee of the city gov
ernment which was held at noon yester-
day. The meeting occurred in the Port
land Safe Deposit office, on Exchange
street. Of the city committee Messrs
Moore, Ilsley, Dow and Mayberry were
present and all the Walker trustees,
Messrs. L arrabee and Fogg, were in at
tendance. The conference lasted for an
hour and a half during which time views
were exchange in an informal manner
1t was the opinion of the committee that
the manual training building first pro-
posed is too large and that 1t will involve
too great an expenditure by the city to
equip it and make the extensions in
manual training which are involved.
There was also some difference of opinion
about the proposed location, it being sug-
gested that Chestnut street would be q
better location than Cascc street.
The Walker trustees finally submitted a
proposition in writing, in which they
Withdraw the offer of a manual training
building and ask the city to indicate
what kind of q building they desire.
The trustees do not withdraw the offer
on account of any ill feeling, but because
they are anxious to give the city some
thing that will be of real service, and
are willing to be guided by what the citi-
zens really want. The city is now to
make application to the trustees for a
manual training building, and the trus-
| tees will then use their discretion in &C.
ceding to whatever request may be made
A member of the committee said he
ought the city would ask for smaller
uilding, fully equipped for the purpose.
