BULGARIA MUST
NOT INTERFERE
viii Be Held Morally and Legally
Responsible for Life of Miss
Stone Should the Bandits in
Evaporation Kill Her

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 12.-Consul Gen
eral Dickinson of Constantinople, sup
plemented his verbal representations to
the Bulgarian government by a note
today, in which he recapitulates the
history of the abduction by brigands OF
Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka, and the
steps taken to obtain her release, and
reminds the foreign minister of his
promise to give every assistance. He
cites instances where the attitude of
subordinate officials had not conformed
with this assurance. Finally Mr.. Die
kinson repeats his demand for the non
interference of the government in the
negotiations.
Mr.. Dickinson also quots from Hiss
Stones letters saying the chief danger
to which she is exposed is flight from
the hiding places by night owing to the
approach of troops. He declares that
the people of the United States will
hold the Bulgarian government NOR
ally and legally responsible for the
lives of the captives, should the bandits
exasperated by pursuit, STAY them.
The governments reply according to
the opinion expressed in official cir
cles will set forth that while hesitating
to establish the precedent that the gov
eminent give protection to brigands, In
treating for the ransom of captives, in
the present case, involving the safety
of two ladies', the government, as an act
of courtesy and humanity win comply
with Mr.. Dickinson's request.
A private agent who was employed
to visit DoubritZa, reports that the
members of the secret committee were
discussing the lowest terms of ransom
that would be acceptable. One member
of the committee informed the cores
pendent of the Associated Press here
that he had Leen invited to join the
band and to take part in the kidnap-
ping, but that he refused and deprecated
an attack upon inoffensive women,
pointing out that such action was cal
culated to cost the committee more in
sympathy and support than the value
of 20 ransoms. This view seems to be
dawning gradually even in Bulgarian
circles, where kidnapping is condoned
as in the interest of a sacred cause.

NEWS OF RAILROADS
AND THEIR employees

The Union Station yesterday morning
was enveloped in a blanket of fog and
it made life for the locomotive employ
es on all the roads running into the
city unpleasant while it lasted The
gateman had hard time as it was
very difficult to distinguish approaching
trains and extra care was necessary TO
prevent accidents.
The Boston & Albany system of the
New York Central will have but two
divisions after Jan. /. The division
east from West Springfield to be called
No. and the division west to Albany to
be No. g. With this change comes the
decision Of the operating department to
allow the engineers and firemen a
choice of division they would like to run
on and to have a choice of positions
that may be open through the transfer
of those securing other runs 1t is ex-
pected that some will ask for another
run. There has been a rumor that the
wage system will be changed from a
daily pay to a system of paying by
mileage, but nothing has been said
about it as yet. Some of the men who
are on long runs favor the idea as it
means much to them. The sentiment
of the men to be affected win be asked
before Dec. %.
Train number was an hour late
yesterday morning through the break
ing of an eccentric strap on engine TO
which the train was attached. When
the train was leaving the station at
South birmingham the eccentric strap
on the engine broke. The disabled en-
CINE was replaced by engine 1903 which
was sent from the South birmingham
roundhouse. The train proceeded to
Worcester but it did not make much
Roadway and at Southville it was
overtaken by train number SO which
took the two mail cars off and started
for Worcester, arriving here 40 minutes
late. Another coach was attached at
the Union Station and with another en-
CINE train number SO proceeded to

Prof. Mike Dwyer of Three Cities
in as Many States FIoOred
Twice in a Three Bout Contest
with the Worcester Man
FIRST FALL WON BY THE
VISITOR ON HALF NELSON
Twenty One Minutes Consumed
in the Bout - Lundin Finished
the Match in the Next Is Min
utes - The Fearful Armenian
Put on His Back

Hjalmar Lundin, Worcester's heavy
weight wrestling ruler, won another
match, in Mechanics Hall, last night.
Prof. NJ j. Dwyer of Hartford, Ct.
New York city and Grand Rapids,
Mich, was the victim, and the purse
was 5000. Nearly 800 people attended
and the share of gate receipts was
rs per cent to the winner and 20 per
cent to the loser
BY clever skill in the finer points of
catch-as- catch-can wrestling, DWyer
won the first fall in a fraction over Fl
minutes Lundin had an advantage
of nearly rs pounds in weight and he
did not lack in physical condition. So
far as wrestling was concerned, there
was little chance for display of the
best qualities of other contestants
Lundin weighed 1877 pounds and Dryer
1863 pounds, Dwyer won the first fall
and Lundin Whirled through the next
two.
In the preliminary Oscar Sundstrom.
Lundins wrestling partner, won over
Advert Maljian, the fearful Armenian
The latter weighed about 1865 pounds
and Sundstrom 1853. The Armenian as
sumed the aggressive from the call of
time, but after working himself to
the llmlt SunOStrOm showed dBBTeS-
|siveness and the Armenian was thrown
in Is minutes. Sundstrom winning the
match.
John Anderson, of>baseball fame was
referee of the preliminary bout and
P. A Dowd OBLIGATED in the main bout
Lundin received a splendid reception
when he came on the mat, but Dryer
was not without friends and the
gamey little fellow was cheered re-
peatedly when he removed his sweat
err and prepared for hard work. After
81 minutes of fast work, Dwyer got a
half-Nelson on Lundin and gradually
bore him to the mat There was no
betting until the first fall, but at this
point sentiment asserted itself and the
Worcester man became a 5-to-4
favorite, with few takers.
In the next 10 minutes Lundin threw
Dwyer twice and won the matchs At
the conclusion, the visitor made a
speech in which he declared that it
was only through the fact that the
strange hold was allowed that Lundin
won. Dwyer offered to throw Sund-
strom, Lundin's wrestling partner,
twice within an hour, and match will
probably be arranged on this basis.

THERIAULT IS
FOUND GUILTY
Charge Against Him Murder, the
Penalty Of Life Imprisonment,
the Evidence Against Him Cir
CumstantiaI

Skowhegan, Me-, Nov. ia jury this
afternoon found Alexander Theriault, q
woodman, guilty of murder in the first
degree, in causing the death of Matthias
Pare, young Canadian logger. The pen
atty is life Imprisonment.
Pare's body was found beside trail in
the woods of the Moosehead region, last
March The sun and winds had cleared off
the snow under which 1t was buried and
at the same time left intact snowshoe
prints on the layer of snow on which Pare
was killed Beside the body was a rife
cartridge shell Pare left a logging camp
a month before with his winters wages,
bound for his home in Canada.
Theriault was arrested on circumstan-
tial evidence and on it also he was con-
victed The chief points were the snow
shoe prints, of peculiar character, which
compared with the marks of Theriaults
shoes, the rifle shell which was peculiarly
marked by the firing pin of his rifle; the
fact that he was seen on the Tote road
the day Pare left camp and that Theriault
while penniless before that time had
money enough later to pay numerous
bills
At the trial no word of reproach was
said against Theriault for he had always
been a steady hardworking woodsman. He
lived in the woods with his family.

new ACADEMY
WHATS NEEDED
Report of Board of Visitors to
West Point Recommends That
There Be No More "PatCh-
work" Improvements Made


Washington, Nov. 12.-The most i'm
portant feature Of the report Of the
board of visitors to the West Point
Military Academy is a recommendation
that the academy be rebuilt. The re-
port says: $40
TT has been nearly one hundred
years since West Point was founded,
and from the birth of the institution
nearly all the Improvements have been
on the patchwork plan. There is but
one building constructed by the govern
ment at the post that is in harmony
with this day and generation. All the
others are old, uncomfortable and en-
tirely inadequate to meet the present
conditions. Few of them are equipped
with any of the conveniences now to be
found in the average public school
building in the country districts of
many of the states. 1t can be truth
fully said that there is a pressing ne
cessity for a complete tearing down
and new building up. The policy pur-
sued in this regard at Annapolis should
be speedily adopted at West Point.
Nothing can be gained by postpone
ment. Indeed it seems to the board
that almost every dollar spent in the
future for charging here and altering
and patching there, is so much money
thrown away. The enlarged duties and
responsibilities of the military, as re-
lated to the recently enlarged sphere
of American influence and power is
such as not only to justify but force
Congress to proper recognition of the
demands of the military academy
Putting the matter in a few words
it can be truthfully said that the bar
racks in which the cadets sleep and
study and live when not in. recitation
room or on the drill ground, are little
better equipped than the barracks of
the average county "poorhouse," In
many of the rooms three cadets are
crowded. The ventilation of these
rooms is in accordance with hygienic
notions of a century ago, and is simply
execrable.
Features Of the present arrange
ment which are especially condemned
are the electric light and gas plants; no
water or sanitary arrangements in the
barracks and no bathrooms; the lack of
church facilities and the hotel, which
is described as "A mere hut, The wa
ter supply also is threatened and wa
ter famine is imminent nearly every
summer.
The report says the board is salts
fed that hazing has been eradicated.
Full credit is given to Col. Mills for
this. The report also says that the
sturdy support given Col. Mills by the
secretary of was has done much to es
tablish and secure discipline upon
sound basis.
The report refers to athletics and
says that cadet members of the base
ball and football teams compare favor
ably with others who do not participate
in those games. 1t is recommended
that the academy be provided with
modern seacoast battery and a modern
mountain battery for the instruction
of the cadets.
The board recommends that the pay
Of the cadets, which is now $40 a year
each, be increased 500 a year to be
equal to that of naval cadets.

THE idea of a composer incorporat-

THE composer of today to- be sue

DAYS IN
COUNTY JAIL
Andrew M. Lawrence, Managing
Editor of Chicago American
Sentenced by Judge HaneCy for
Contempt

Chicago, Ill, Nov. 12.-Judge Hanecy

case of the editors of the Hearst's Chi
! cago American. He ordered that An
drew NJ. Lawrence, the managing edi-
tor, receive 40 days in the county

against W. r. Hearts, Glare Briggs and
Homer Davenport, the judge said
would be allowed to stand until such
time as they could be brought into
court by the sheriff
Former Gov Altgeld, one Of the coun-
sci for the respondents, entered form
al exception to the decision. This case,
l may say, the court remarked, sis not
appealable. You may file bill of ex-
ceptions for a writ of crrQr, however. L
am willing to delay the serving Of pa
pers on Mr.. Lawrence and Mr.. Garfield
till you have drawn your bill"
1--WE do not fell that we have any
favors coming from this court" Mr..
Altgeld answered. 1--WE are much
obliged"
The article in the American upon
which the proceedings in contempt
were based was a criticism of the
courts decision on an application for
the forfeiture of the charter of the Peo-
pies Gas Light & Coke Company
Judge Hanecy said if the matter pub
lished were allowed to go unnoticed by
the court, it paved the way for other
attacks and that the judiciary, if not
held in respect, would fall, with all
democratic government The article,
the court declared, was not merely an
attack on the court, but a bold threat
to every other court 1t should, there
fore, not go unpublished.
