BIG SMUGGLING
ring BROKEN UP

NEW YORK. Oct. 5.--Disaster has
overtaken what the local customs Off
GERS believe to be one of the biggest
glove smuggling syndicates that ever
was attempted to beat Uncle Sam out
of duties. Several arrests have already
been made and about $1,000 of snug
gled goods seized The majority of the
prisoners are Italians, and in every in
stance the port of departure for the
goods seized has been on the Medi-
terranean. The seizures were made
both in New York and Brooklyn. A
distinct connection has, the officers say,
been found among all these cases, so
that already the evidence points TO a
widespread conspiracy in gloves" A
peculiar feature of the cases is that
some of the prisoners. although poor
foreigners, were promptly bailed out
pending the trial of their cases. In
consequence "the man higher up is now
the quest of the officers.
IT also develops that canoes and
corals have recently been smuggled into
this country on an extensive scale.
coming likewise from Mediterranean
ports, and there is a suspicion that the
same bandits are concerned in all the
cases.

RUSSIA CHANGES FRONT
Calls on the Powers to Revise
the Berlin Treaty

ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 5.-No OFF,
eial statement regarding the report
that Austria Hungary purposes to an
mex the provinces of Bosnia and Herze-
govina has been received from Vienna.
but such advices as have come to the
foreign office leave little doubt of Aus
trias intention in this respect
such single handed action by Aus
lrla- hungary in a matter affecting the
interest of all Europe can not in the
opinion Of Russian diplomats, be per-
mitted. Russia would prefer. to throw
open the whole range of Balkan prob
lens to new discussion, although fully
realizing the danger to the peace OF
Europe that such course might in
volve.
The news of Russia's proposal to call
the powers together to revise the Berlin
treaty was given out Immediately after
Finnish gulf of NJ. Tcharykoff, on. actine me
minister of foreign affairs in the alb
sence of NJ Iswolsky. The minister
submitted the Balkan developments to
Emperor Nicholas and received the i'm
perial sanction of this proposal.
The news that Bulgaria had pro-
claimed her Independence was not re-
afternoon. The Bulgarian diplomatic
agent had no information on the sub
ject. In authoritative circles no effort
is made to conceal the gravity of the
the congress summoned by Russia will
enable Europe to tide over the crisis
without the outbreak of general con-
fagration in the Balkans.
This decision to summon a congress
of the powers involves n complete
change of front on the part OF Russia,
who only last week declared her on
position to any modification of the pro-
visions of the Berlin treaty. and opens
q vista of momentous changes in the
Balkan situation. Russia will REQUIRE
from Austria Hungary compensatory
advantages for the annexation of Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina. but it is as yet
impossible to learn what form this
compensation will take.

IN ROLE OF MEDIATOR
France Works to Prevent War

PARIS, Oct 5.-France has essayed
the role of mediator with the object of
preventing war between Turkey and
Bulgaria, and as a result of Foreign
Minister Pichon's series of conferences
today with the representatives of the
powers. including NJ Iswolsky, the Rus

sibiy Italy were prepared TO act IN uni

treaty to deal automatically with the
situation that has arisen between Tur-

conflicting interests so that fresh COM
plications may be avoided.

recognition of Bulgaria's independence

The danger Of war is believed to lie
in precipitate action at Constantinople.
Forced by the young Turks party, which
may fear blow at it's prestige il 1T
aquiesces in the loss of Bulgaria, and
by the military party, which wants to
restore the old order of things, it is
feared that Turkey, although i'll pre-
pared, both from a financial and mill
tary standpoint, may proclaim war.
Should this be the case, the efforts of
the powers will then be directed to
limiting the war to Bulgaria and Tur-
key.
According to information received
here Bulgaria would welcome war. as
the Bulgarians are convinced that their
army could march straight to Constan-
tinople before the Turkish forces could
be modified. The French government s
communique issued today says:

A vast area of Klamath, Harvey,
Lake and Malheur counties, COM
prising some three hundred thous-
and acres, is to be opened for settle
ment. Much capital is behind the
enterprise and this project must of
necessity attract enormous attention
to that great portion of Oregon,
which only needs improved trans
portation facilities to make it one
of the most productive and popular
sections of the Northwest, and the
rapid settlement of these lands will
