EMPEROR WILLIAM INVENTOR,
German Ruler Has Invented New Hub
and Brake Device.

Berlin.-Emperor William has in
vented a new hub and brake for
railroad trains and automobiles which
is described as offering the greatest
possible guarantee against accident
arising from the failure of existing
brakes to operate when called upon
Some time ago Emperor William
took a lively interest in this branch of
the technical work, but he has done
nothing in it of recent years. The re-
cent accident on the elevated railroad
of Berlin, however, revived his inte-
rest and he spent a part of his time
during his recent holiday in the
country in working out the present
device. The practical experiments
with it have not been completed.

BULGARIA WANTS WAR.
Resists Payment of Indemnity to
Secure Its National independence.

Sofia.-The Bulgarian capital is
greatly excited Friday by the
rumor that the cabinet, which is now
in session, will issue a declaration of
war against Turkey.
The published programme for the
Balkan conference has greatly aroused
the people, and they are demanding
that its terms be rejected and that no
indemnity whatever be paid Turkey
as the price of their independence.
The cabinet is in full accord with
the people on this proposition, and
this n phase of the situation, it is
feared, will result in some overt act
being committed by Bulgaria that will
lead to war.

for the payment of indemnity to
Turkey as a condition of recognizing
Bulgaria's independence. A note to
that effect will be sent by the Bull
garian administration to the powers.
The only question the government is
willing to negotiate is the purchase
rights of the Oriental railroad COM
pany.

Bulgaria Rejects Proposal
to indemnify Turkey

company to submit to the government
the terms on which it is willing to sur
render the lease. The communications
states that Bulgaria is now admins
tering the line Professionally and main
tanning the company's rates.
A member of the cabinet made the
statement that there would be no mob
ilization of the troops for the present
at least, as Bulgaria was in a position
to know hat the Turkish movements
of troops on the frontier were purely
of a local character. He said also
that the refusal of his government to
pay an indemnity to Turkey would in
NO wise hurt that country as the
Rumelian tribute flowed exclusively
into the Golfers of Turkeys creditors.
The cabinet takes the ground that
the payment Of an indemnity for in
dependence would be the most sup
rene qualification of the country.

pulled off is brilliant example of
manipulation in politics. Delegates,
under deep convictions, came to the
convention with a fixed idea of what
they desired, but allowed themselves
to be worked by designing political
leaders until they lost sight of their

Such plays are made on the we'll

CONSERVING WATER SUPPLY.

The construction of the great res
ervoir system proposed for the en-
tire Mississippi valley would cost,
according to the estimates of ex-
perts, 500 million dollars, but 1t is
generally agreed that this amount
would be more than made up for in
the prevention of the floods which
now do SO much damage every year.
as we'll as in the increased value of
all farm lands on account of the sys-
tenn of waterways that would re-
suit.
The underlying principle of this
immense project Is simply the reg
ulation of stream flow in such a
manner as to prevent floods and, at
the same time, insure minimum
navigation depth to all streams at
all times of the year.
To accomplish this 1t is proposed
to build storage reservoirs near the
headwaters of streams, governing
the sources of water supply. These
reservoirs are designed to supple
ment the natural storage of the for
ests which remain In such water
shed regions as the Appalachians
and about the headwaters of the
Mississippi. Such a plan, II adopt
ed, would change the whole course
OF river improvement as heretofore
carried on by the government.
Dredging and the building of levees
would be done away with. Instead
the reservoirs would keep back, In
flood times, the waters of the Ohio
the upper Mississippi and Missouri
and the other streams OF the great
mississippi system. The water thus
held back would lower the stream
below the danger mark. Later
when the danger of flood had pass
ed. the stored waters would be dis.
/. charged. maintaining the navigabil.
ity OF the stream through the dry
season.
And not only would streams be
navigable the year around, and
property. owners saved immense
sums now swept away by floods. but
the government would collect larg'
amounts from the sale of water
power. And this thing last nance

fact that our coal supply is so lin
tied as to demand the attention Of
