SOFIA Aug 16.-The anti-Greek move
ment in Roumania, and especially in Bull
earia is daily assuming greater proper
tons and threatens to become a serious
danger to peace. The Bulgarian govern
ment, 1t appears. will be forced to taxi
exceptional measures to terminate the dis

Greek feeling with which the entire popu-
lation of the principally is imbued. The
cause Of this feeling is the historical COM

Gently reawakened and stimulated by their

alleged, has been artihcislly encouraged by
the Turkish authorities-and by the atroci-
ties of the Greek bands. 1t is asserted that
the patriarchal church at Constantinope
has acted as an accompllce OF these bands
with the object of forcing the peaceful
population of Bulgaria to Join the patri-

has been carried out in Bulgaria by the
organs of the patriarchal church, which
openly raised subscriptions for the benefit
of the Greek patriotic societies and also
sought to infiame the Bulgarian national
spirit.

WABASH BuILDISG NEW TRACKS
Present Storage Capacity for Cars IL
Inadeuuate.


The Wabash railroad is putting in be-
tween four and FIVE miles of storage tracks
at what is known as the East switch. The
work is being supervised by w. w. Green
land OF Moberiy engineer Of maintenance
of way. The need Of extra storage tracks
for cars has long been felt. but never more
so than in the last two weeks during the
heavy shipments Of grain.
Within the last few days the Wabash
moved over COO cars OF grain out OF Coun-
ell Bluffs. this being a large volume of
business in comparison to that OF year
ago. officials of the road say. General Traf-
fc Manager d. o. Ives Of St Louis was
here in person and worked up the business,
while p. ]. OBrien, superintendent of trans
portation. and NJ, @. Carter, trainmaster,
looked after the Work OF securing cars.
During the heavy rush of grain shipments
| requiring the bringing Of hundreds Of cars
here from other parts of the system, the
master mechanics force had its hands full
repairing cars and getting them At to pass
inspection. z. d. Thompson. the local mas
| ter mechanic, found the work somewhat too
! exacting and he suddenly decided to look
for other employment. and accordingly tel
egraphed his resignation in the following
words to ]. H. Dacey. master mechanic at
Moberly: Am leaving here at o'clock to-
night. Arrange to have man In my place
tomorrow morning. May the Lord be with
you always, I can't. Goodbye r. d.
Thompson" t
There was something doing when Mr..
Dacey received this message and the wires
| were kept hot between Moberly and Council
Bluffs. Mr.. o'Brien, the superintendent OF
| transportation. happened to be in Council
| Bluffs and the result OF a conference be-
tween him and Mr.. Thompson was that the
latter reconsidered his determination to
leave the employ of the road There was
nothing else to do, however, as Mr.. Dacey
and the officials absolutely refused TO lose
the services Of Mr.. Thompson, who stands
| high in their estimation. '

The seven commissioners appointed by
Auditor Of state b. F. Carroll to devise a
system of accounts for all cities of the
state under the uniform account bill passed
at the last session of the legislature met
in the judiciary room of the senate today
Most of the members of the commission
reached the city last hight. Today they
met for the first tirne formally and elected
Harry Gross of this city, ex-city treasurer,
as chairman of the commission. and Frank
c. Norton, auditor Of the city of Burling-
ton as secretary. The commission then at
once began the question OF working out a
system for keeping the accounts of cities.
Auditor Carroll met with the commission.
He must approve the system they devise
and certify It to the various cities which
are under. obligation to adopt Il, the law
being mandatory. The question Of a uni
form system of accounts for all cities is a
very complex one. When there are cleo
trio light, or water works or gas plants
owned by the city the question of what to
classify as repairs and what as improve
ments is one of the vexing questions that
must be settled by the commission in order
to have uniformity and b system that will
be easily understood. and easy to follow.
Not every public official is an expert book
keeper and this fact is also necessarily
taken into account by the commission. All
the members of the commission are present,
the members being: F. H. True, Council
Bluffs; W. P. Filth, Mason City; Louis
Fessler. Fort Dodge; Harry Gross. Des
Moines; w. 2. True. Sioux City; f. H.
Munger, Waverly. and Frank c. Norton,
Burlington. All are city oficials or ex-
city oficials .'a

to occupy the see without the approval OF
the Bulgarian government. The incident
aroused intense public feeling and resulted
in attacks on the Greek church. school and
monastery, which were followed by scenes
OF disorder in every district possessing
patriarchal religious establishments.
The trouble at Anchialos arose from, a
meeting called to protest against the ac-
ton of the Greek bands in Macedonia. The
Greeks armed themselves under the leader
