SERVIA URGES HER RIGHTS
UNDER THE BERLIN TREATY

BELGRADE. Servia October S-The
Servian government. in its proclamation
protesting against the annexation by
Austria Hungary of Bosnia and HerZe-
govina. expresses the hope that the pow
ers will respond to the appeal addressed
to them for protection and justice. This
new and fragrant violation of the Berlin
treaty the proclamation declares. has
been effected unilaterally by force ma
jure to satisfy selfish interests and with
out regard to the grievous blow thus dealt
TO the feelings. interests and rights OF the
Servian people.
''Scrvia cannot in this present case OBJ
tain full satisfaction other than by the
complete restoration of tie situation with
regard 10 Bosnia and Herzegovina, as
established by the treaty of Berlin. II
this solution is regarded as absolutely
impossible. the Servian government, APP
pealins to the sense Of equity of the pow
ers. demtnds corresponding compensation
TO her existence as an independent state
must be maintained and the general con-
dtion of existence assured Servia by the
treaty of Berlin must. at least in meas
ure be restored.
Continuing. the proclamation points out
that the rights accorded Servia under
this treaty are incOmparably inferior TO
the sacrifices imposed upon her. Servia
has scrupulously observed the terms o;
the treaty. No notifications to the adj
vantage of Servia nave been made. where
as there have been number of modifica-

MUST Be CLEAN ANo NEAT
BOARDING AND LODGING HOUSE
HEALTH CRUSADE.
DR.. Woodward Will Make All Eat
ing and Sleeping Under Whole
some Conditions.

Boarding and lodging houses. where
charges for bed and fare are compare
lively swaziland there are many such in
Washington-are to be looked over and
made wholesome by order of DR.. W. c.
Woodward. health officer.
DR.. Woodward regards the condition of
these places as generally insanitary. The
crusade for cleanliness in the District.
which he started three months ago, would
be incomplete, he conceives. We're the
boarding and lodging houses overlooked.
He is also planning a campaign on liv-
cry stables. There is law requiring
owners of livery stables to register with
the health Office. Up to date only two
livery stables have compiled with this re-
quirement
The health officer has announced his de.
termination to make the livery stable men
register. He is going to have sent out a
notice, giving each liveryman ten days in
which to register and informing him that
he will be prosecuted In Police Court if
delinquent. The penalty for failing to
register is &o5.
Speaking of cheap boarding and lodging
houses. the health officer said he has in
mind places where a chair can be rented
for 5 cents, and a mattress on the floor
can be hired for 10 cents as a sleeping
place for a night. These places need weed
ing out. he says, as many of them are
constantly violating the health laws.
He said his records show that one pro-
prietor was convicted last year for per-
uniting twenty-seven men to sleep in one
room, contrary to the law, which, limits
the number to six sleepers.

ASKS POINTED QUESTIONS
COURT REQUESTED TO COMPLY
DISCLOSURE OF FACTS.
Declares Defendant in Suit Without
Right to Collect on Policy
of Insurance.

Did you collect 5000 on a policy Of
insurance on the life of Josephine H
Miller"
Did you offer Miss Mary Miller, her
sister, known in religion as Sister Mary
Louise OF the order Of Sisters of Char
ity. $500 in settlement Of her claim
against her sisters estate II she would
leave the religious order:"
The foregoing questions among others
are propounded to Charles J. Buerger
in a suit filed in the District Supreme
Court by II. Winship Wheatley. ad-
ministrator of the estate of Josephine
H. Miller, OF whom Buerger is said to
have been an uncle by marriage.
According to Attorney Wheatley, dur
ing the lifetime. of Josephine II. Miller,
Miss Mary Miller had loaned her $500
and had a claim for that amount
against her estate.
Buerger. 1t is alleged, secured from the
New York Life Insurance Company 5000
on a policy of insurance after the death
of Josephine Miller. and journeyed to
fse was stationed. and there offered to
pay her claim against her sisters estate
IL Sister Mary Louise would leave the or
der of Sisters Of Charity.
Mr.. Wheatley declares that MIR. Buerger
had no right to collect the proceeds of the
insurance policy, and asks the court TO
determine that Buerger holds the money
as trustee for the creditors of Josephine
II. Miller's estate. Although he has made
several efforts, the administrator says,
he has been unable to learn the facts IN
reference to the insurance policy. and he
seeks the Intervention of the court to
make Buerger and the insurance company
disclose the true state Of affairs.

Despite President Roosevelt's declaration
to the contrary the records OF the In

vors were shown the Standard Oil Com
pany, through one of it's SUBSIDIARY con-
Germs, according to q Washington dis
patch to the New York Sun last night.

added interest to the recent assertion of
President Roosevelt that no favor and no
fear has been shown in dealings with

shows. too. that times have changed

convenience.

Roosevelt said: NO preference or privi-

was not granted to all Others This re-
assertion Of the square deal may mean
one of two or three things. Two Of them
are that the President did not know and
that the official records OF the Depart
ment of the Interior do not tell the
truth
The dispatch then says that a permit
for an interstate pipe line was granted to
a subsidiary Standard OIL company in 1904,
although the company refused to promise
to conform to the obligations of a COM
mon carrier or to 'domest;cate" In Okla

from 1ndependent companies were re-
jected. 1t is also asserted that the COM
