MAYOR DuNNE sUNcoED.
Beer Garden Waiter in Chicago Plays
Losing Game.

Chicago, Sept 25.-Mayor Dunno has
been fiimhammed by a beer garden
waiter out of $40, but the executive
had the satisfaction later of appear
ing against the swindler and seeing
HIM fined SIS and costs.
His honor and a party OF friends
were returning from a funeral, and
stopped at the Bismarck gardens,
where they had a couple of sandwiches
around and a few glasses of beer. They
finally called for the bill and Mayor
Dunno insisted upon paying it. The
urbane waiter presented him bill for
sS.75. and the mayor gave him $40
bill. Meanwhile another waiter came
up with a bill for $3.50, and the mayor
realized he had been stung.
He threatened to close up the place
unless the swindling waiter was pro
duced.
1t is believed this is a regular game
carried on at many big establishments
whereby out of town visitors are
swindled unknown to proprietors or
the places. At any rate, the offending
waiter was produced in court and the
proprietors gwen warning to investi'
gate attendants.

at none of them noted any indication
of restraint upon voters. Good order
is being maintained throughout the

that this was done because they hat

RouMANIA's JAR WITH GREECE.
Minister Has Been Recalled From
Athens by Government.

Bucharest, Roumania, Sept. 25.-The
diplomatic rupture between Greece
and Roumania has been completed by
the departure of the Roumanian min
lister from Athens. The interests Of
the Roumanians in Greece have been
entrusted to Italy, while the Russian
legation here will guard the interests
of the Greeks in Roumania.
The cause of the trouble is the refus-
al by Roumania of the demand of
Greece for compensation to those who
suffered by the pillaging of Greek
shops and the maltreatment of Greeks
during the recent demonstrations at
Bucharest and for satisfaction for the
burning of the Greek flag by demon
strators at Gurgervo. The Greek gov
eminent complains of the general in

FEED STARVING PEASANTS.
Russian Authorities Adopt Active
Measures.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 25.-Special
committees from the department Of
agriculture and the ministry of the in
terror have left to take charge Of the
relief work in the famine districts Of
Russia The cost of this work is esti-
mated by the government at S2O,O0O,-
600.
No acute distress has yet been re-
ported, and the government hopes by
prompt distribution of food, seed, grain
and fodder, and the employment Of the
famine stricken populace on public
works. to tide over the people until the
new harvest.
The rates Tor the transportation OF
grain and fodder into the governments
stricken by famine have been reduced
but the deficiency in rolling stock is
the chief obstacle to the work of re
lief. Plenty of grain is available In
Russia both for forwarding to the gov
ernments affected and for other uses
