Clerk of Court Britt Says Dis

1t Has Decreased Drinking and Drunkenness in
Oxford and is Believed to be the Solution
Of Liquor Problem.

Mr.. John T. Britt, clerk of the Supe-
rior court of Granville county, is in Raj
eigh. I asked him last night how the
people liked the operations of the dis
pensary in Oxford. He said:
"There has been less drunkenness in
Oxford, fewer arrests and better order
than at any previous time in the his.
tory of our town. We have never had as
orderly town as we have now.
eve consider it the best solution of
the liquor question. Some who were at
first opposed to the dispensary say now
believe it is the best thing. 1t is admirably
managed in oxford and is giving sais-
faction to the people"
This statement of Mr.. Britt confirms
the statements of many other citizens of
that good town.

TWO NAMES ARE GIVEN OUT
Beavers is Indicted Another Indictment Against
MacheR---Who is the Mysterious High Per-

fore the Jury?
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 9.-One of the per-
sons indicted yesterday by the Federal
grand jury in connection with the pos
tai investigation is George w Beavers,
formerly chief of the Division of Salary
and Allowances. 1t is understood that
the charge is conspiracy.
Another of the indictments is against
August w. Machen on a new set of facts,
involving him with Beavers. The charge
is conspiracy.
While the officials refuse to disclose
the names of the four remaining persons
who were indicted yesterday, it is said
that none of them is or has been con-
nected with the Postoffice Department
and that one is a man of some promi-
nence
1t was stated at the City Hall today
that the climax of the investigation IS
to come shortly when a person not con-
nected with the department but equally
as well known as the Postmaster General
himself, undoubtedly would be indicted
for completely in the postoffice frauds.
The grand jury began hearing the evi-
dence in this particular case today, and
it is stated that when report is made
it will in all probability conclude the IN
vestigation in Washington.

seriousness of the situation and confirm
the belief of the authorities that owing
to the general irrigation throughout Euro
pean and Asiatic Turkey toward the
Christians, as a result of the Macedonian
revolt. the Sultan may be swept by the
uncomfortable sentiments of his Ottoman
subjects into a war with Bulgaria, de-
spite the unwilhngness of the Porte to
precipitate such conflict The Turkish
officials express qualification at the Rus
sian-Austraian proposal for coercive dip
lomatic action on the part of the powers
at Sofia. They are confident it will be
acceded to by France, but whether it is
ADOPTED or not the Sultan's hand has al
ready been greatly strengthened, as he
is in better position to act than hith-
erto.
There is no question in official circles
here that the Porte will take energetic
measures to suppress any trouble at Bel
rut. The announcement is made of the
arrival at Beirut of NaZim Pasha, the
Vail of Syria is expected by the Turkish
officials promptly to restore order. That
the task is difficult is shown by the fact
that there have been further riot at Bel
rut. France may order warships to that
point to protect her interests but Ger
many has asserted that she will not do SO.
Great Britain, whose missionary interests
in Syria are practically nil, has not as yet
sent any vessels to Beirut, relying upon
the American warships to protect their
consulates.
The Turkish embassy issued another
statement today, declaring that the re-
ports of the massacre emanate from the
Bulgarian side and are purposely exagger-
ated in the hope of securing European in
tervention.
1t reiterates disbelief in the seriousness
of the Beirut situation and adds:
1.-The Turkish government, therefore
hopes the American warships will depart
as speedily as possible, as their presence
only tends to incite the people. From
ConstantinopIe the embassy is informed
that there is no reason for the assembling
OF the American ships at Beirut"

been no further disturbance at Beirut
since Sunday, great uneasiness, amounting
almost to a panic prevails among the
Christians, many of whom have left Beirut
and sought refuge in Lebanon.
The foreign consuls at Beirut met on
Bombay and decided to make serious rep
resentations to the local authorities looking
to the preservation of order. They also
decided to telegraph to their respective
ambassadors or ministers at CONSTANT

The Porte announces that Nazm Pasha
was sent to Beirut with two battalions
OF troops to take temporary charge OF al

announced, has not been deprived of his
authority. but he will probably remain
inactive at his post during the stay of

While the rioting was in progress, the
Beirut advices further state. an appeal was
made to Rear Admiral Cotton to land ma

Several of the diplomats here drew the
serious attention of the Porte on Monday
to the situation at Beirut, demanding
that measures be taken to prevent fur

OF the Vail, who was In office when the
outbreak occurred.
The Porte intends to concentrate 30, 600

that two thousand insurgents have been
surrounded at Kirk -Kilisreh, thirty-two
miles from Adriahople, and official circles
here momentarily expect news of their
surrender or annihiation.
Notwithstanding the large number OF
troops concentrated at Adrianople, the
regiment OF Hamidieh Cavalry, to which
the Sultan presented colors September 4,
