THINKS WAR IMMINENT
AMBASSADOR STORER DISCUSSES
THE TURKO-BULGARIAN CRISIS.
Main Hope of Peace, He Says, Is
Based on Coming Conference of the
Gar and Austrian Emperor.

OYSTER BAY, Sept. 15.-Bellamy Storer,
ambassador to Austria-Hungary, and Mrs.
Storer were guests of the President and
Mrs Roosevelt at luncheon to-day. Ambas-
sador Storer came to take leave of the
President on the of his return to Vien-
ma. He will sail from New York for Europe
Tomorrow. He said to-day he regarded
the danger of war between Bulgaria and
Turkey as imminent. Bulgaria he thought,
had nearly reached the limit of endurance
and unless the powers of central Europe
INTERVIEWED to prevent further outraees on
the part of the Turkish troops war scarce
ly could be avoided. In the opinion of Mr..
Storer the hope of peace now must be
based in the conference which is to be held
the latter part of this month between the
Car OF Russia and Emperor Francis
Joseph. Of Austria-Hungary. He did not
believe actual war would be precipitated
before that conference, although the strain
on Bulgaria is very great He expressed
the hope that the Car and Emperor Fran
els Joseph might reach some solution of the
present difficulties that would avert a dis
astrous conflict, which once begun might
involve seriously other European powers.
Ambassador Storer discussed the situa-
ton with President Roosevelt to-day and
now is hurrying to Europe in order that he
may be in Vienna at the time of the con-
ference Of the heads of the two great
powers of central Europe.

TWO RABID SOCIALISTS
PORTO RICAN AGITATORS CONVICT
ED OF ANARCHISTIC CONDUCT.
They Threatened Governor Hunt and
Declared the American Flag Was a
Rag Fit Only to Cover RascaIs.

SAN JUAN. p. r.. Sept. 15.-Eduardo
Condo and Leonidas Guillot, two Socialists
who spoke in a recent meeting of the
American Federation of Labor, were put
on trial to-day for insulting the American
flag and threatening the life Of Governor
Hunt. Their speeches teemed with abuse
of the government. One of the prisoners
was accused of advising the workmen upon
the return of Governor Hunt on Oct. 1
from the United States to parade carrying
black flags and then to make demands upon
the government. If these demands were re-
fused, the speaker added, the alternative
of killing Governor Hunt remained. The
other orator was said 10 have declared that
the American flag was a rag fit only to
cover rascals and criminals The accused
vehemently denied the charges. They were
anarchistic conduct and sentenced to six
months in prison.
Justice Kopel says the flag is higher than
the law and Anarchists need never expect
any mercy in his court. The case has es-
tablished a precedent as Porto Rican Off
cial warning that attacks on the flag and
government must stop.
The Americans and loyal Porto Ricans
jubilant, while the Socialists angry at
to-day's decision. The convicted men will
appeal from the judgment. claiming that
Justice KOpel had no jurisdiction as there
is no law covering the offense. The interest
in the case is intense.

in Cincinnati, was this afternoon found in
thirty-two feet of water in the middle of
Pine lake.
Lavey returned last night to the home on
Holmes island occupied by himself and son,
Philip Lavey. and the latter's family, and
shortly thereafter a splash was heard and
the boat with Lavey's hat in it was found
drifting on the water. Rescuing parties
spent all night and nearly all day before
the body was recovered by Charles Wedow
and julius SCHNEIDER.
The relatives claim Lavey accidentally
fell out of the boat, but the generally ac-
copied theory is that the man committed
suicide and had planned the manner of
death. Yesterday afternoon he appeared at
the office of Attorney +. r. Liddell and ex-
ecuted a deed in favor of a relative, Mrs.

CAMDEN, Ind. Sept. 15.-The citizens
of the little town of Deer Creek are de-
termined not to have a saloon in their viii
lage and this morning the room to be used
as a club was destroyed by dynamite.
Several weeks ago a man named Snyder,
from Logansport, moved to Deer Creek and
informed the people that as soon as he
gained residence he would apply for license.
He was stopped by remonstrance and he
then bought room TO open club.
The building was demolished, as was also
a quantity of goods placed in the room by
Snyder. 1t is reported here that the per-
sons that did the work are known; that
some of them are wealthy farmers and
damage suits will be filed. The citizens
of the township raised money and offered
to pay Snyder fer the building but he re-
fused to accept and for that reason il is
thought he knows the dynamiters. His loss
is about $500.

ELWOOD, Ind, Sept. ia storm of pro-
test has gone up all over the city over the
publication in local paper Of the fact that
a saloon is to be opened in the old Austin
block, across the street from the city hall.
The rear of the building faces the childrens
reading room of the new Carnegie Library,
and this feature Of the situation, more than
anything else. is responsible for the present
condition of public sentiment.
The building has just been purchased by
DR.. Blume, a local physician, and the state
ment that 1t is already under lease or will
be leased to Alenberg Bros, wholesale
liquor dealers, for saloon purposes, is not
contradicted. The building is In the Second
ward, which now has but one saloon, against
which an unsuccessful remonstrance was
circulated two months ago, and this failure
on the part of the temperance people is sup
posed to have encouraged the saloon ele-
ment to their present activity. Strong eff
forts will be made by the friends of the
library to dissuade the new owner of the
building from leasing ii for the purpose set
forth on account of the alleged demoralizing
effect its presence would have on the minor
patrons of that institution.
