GREEKS BURNED ALIVE.
Atrocities Committed by the Insur-
gents in Macedonia,

A report received in Washington through
official sources says that a state of anarchy
has become epidemic throughout Macedo-
mia, that public security has by no means
been restored and that assassinations Of
Christians not in sympathy with the Bull
garian revolutionary movement are of daily
occurrence. 1t says that Greeks, as rule,
are the victims, and large numbers OF
them have been tortured. with the result
the frontier of Greece with retaliation as
their purpose.
An extract from the report reads: pub
lie security Is by no means restored In Mace
1onia. So-called political murders-that Is.
the assassination of Christians not In SYM
pathy with the Bulgarian revolutionary
movcment-are of daily occurrence Re-
fusal to pay blackmail orr the indication of
the whereabouts of bands are reasons for
these murders of which Greeks as a rule
are victims. Since the introduction of re-
forms hundreds of Greeks of the better
class have been tortured to death or burned
alive by Bulgarian bands"
| 1t also IS stated that these would-be
Iato molest Turks" and that the perpetrators
of the crimes are hardly ever brought to
Justice or are seriously pursued.
Another extract from the report reads:
'.In response the Greeks have now started
bands and have taken the law into their
own hands Over 1000 men In the last
month have crossed the Greek frontier with
the object of retaliating and protecting
their own countrymen. The result is a
state of anarchy has become epidemic
throughout Macedonia"

CHURCH OF THE COVENANT.
Rev. Teunis s. Hanllin Talks of the
Spirit of the Day.

Palms and other potted plants, stalks OF
corn, pumpkins, autumn leaves and other
parts of the foliage of the frosty days pre-
ceding winter, formed an appropriate set
ting for the sermon of Rev. Teunis S. Ham
lin at the Church of the Covenant this
morning when he preached sermon to
a large congregation. composed of mem-
bers of the congregation and others, on
the spirit of Thanksgiving day and the ap-
propriateness of the feast that forms a
part of the festivities.
,ong before the hour apHounced for the
opening of the services the church was
filled with people, all of whom enjoyed
the discourse by the pastor.
Prior to the sermon the regular ritual
of the church was gone through. Hymns
typical of the occasion were sung. pas
sages' from Holy Writ were read and a
contribution for the benefit of charity was
taken up.
DIR. Hamlin took as his text a passage
from the Gospel of St. Luke, chapter ID,
verse %, LET us eat and make merry.
He started out by telling his hearers that
Jesus Christ recognized the feast as a le-
gitimate method of showing gratitude. ana

D1sPLEAsED WITH THE CONSUL.
Mr.. Davis May Be Recalled From Post
| at Alexandretta.

Displeased by some action of the ma
tives, Mr. Davis, United States consul at
Alexandretta, is reported to have lowered
the United States flag from the consulate
during a recent celebration in honor of the
accession of the sultan. 1t is said the Of
ficials and people of Alexandretta regard
the action Of the consul as an insult and it
is expected at the State Department that
a complaint the subject will reach
here soon from Constantinople. Should the
Turkish government request the recall Of
Mr. Davis 1t would be necessary to COM
ply with the request.
Assistant Secretary, Loomis of the De-
partment of State had intended to transfer
Mr.. Davis to another post in any event.
One year ago an American citizen of Ar
menian birth had trouble with the Turkish
authorities, who arrested and imprisoned
him as he was leaving the CITY, Consul
Davis vigorously interfered and thrashed
several of the Turkish police who made the
arrest. Subsequently few bricks were
SHE'D at the consulate Consul DAVIS
cabled the State Department to send him
warship at once. That was done. The
cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco re-
manned at Alexandretta for several months
1t is said the State Department finally
came to the conclusion that Mr.. Davis had
such propensity for getting at loggerheads
with the Turks that he would better serve
the United States at some other place.

DIR. GILMAN's INTENTIONS.
It is Said That He May Give Up
Presidency Of Carnegie Institution.

1t is reported that DR.. Daniel e. Gilman
of Baltimore is to be succeeded as presi-
dent of the board of trustees of the Car
negie Institution by Prof. Henry s. Pritch-
EFT, formerly chief of the United States
coast and geodetic survey, and now presi-
dent of-the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology. The report Is based on the
expressed desire of DIR. Gilman to be re-
lieved of the duties of the Office When Dr.
Gilman accepted the Office over a year ago
1t was with the general understanding that
he would not be expected to serve beyond
the expiration of his term of one year.
which expires next month 1t is declared
that there is no truth in the rumor that
he has had any differences with the truss
tees of the institution, and that If he re-
tires from the presidency next month, as
intimated it will be entirely of his own vo-
lition.
Secretary Hay, who is member of the
board of trustees, said today that he had no
personal knowledge of the reported pros
pective change in the presidency of the
board. He added that the matter was not
mentioned at the last meeting of the board
and that he had no information that it was
to be brought before the next meeting in
December.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
How late may cassava be safely
planted in north Florida? Answer.
The season has so much to do with
this matter that no definite answer
can be given. l have planted a fair
ly good crop as late as May 10th.
Last year some 800 acres were plant
ed in Suwannee county after Apr. "a,
and in Jefferson county 100 acres
were planted from seed which arrived
on May 7. 1t is true, however, that
these are extreme cases, and show
possibilities rather than safe or COM
mendable practice. March is really
the cassava planting month, and any
planting done after the middle OF
April is at some risk, from dry
weather for sprouting, and early frost
before maturity in the fall.
What is the cause of black spots
appearing ON the pods OF
string beans, often coming III a few
hours time and greatly injuring the
of the crop? Answer. This
is a germ disease for which there is
neither remedy nor protection. The
disease starting with the seed plant
ed, to which the germs, or spores, adj
here exactly like the spores of smut
in grain. These spores grow with
the plants, and develope in the pod,
coming to the surface there, as smut
comes out in the kernels of grain,
though it grows all through the plant.
The only practical precaution is to
use seed beans which grew in Il field
entirely free from the disease. After
the spotted pods are discovered it is
too late to effect any remedy. A few
pods may indicate many to
follow. 1t is therefore best to hurry
he mark citing of crop when the
first indications of the disease appear
Soaking seed beans in solution of
1luestone is reliable protective
measure.
