KINGLY HONORS FOR
 BULGARIAN RULER

Vienna, September T-(Special. )-The real originator of the idea of raising Montenegro to the status of a kingdom was King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, who was actuated by political reasons. In Bulgaria up to the present certain con- stltutional changes have not yet been ap- proved by the Sobranye. Part of the deputies are against the kingly dignity, while others take the Balkan view that the title should be won on victorious battlefield. To remove these objections King Ferdinand intends to show that the smallest Balkan ruler is entitled to as- sume kingly honors, and therefore he threw all his influence Into the Mon tenegria matter For these reasons also the Bulgarian king invested his visit to Cottinje with unusual pomp.
 Much interest has been aroused in Aus tria by the announcement that, after years of negotiations between the law yers of Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg and his divorced wife. Prince Louise of Bel gium, financial settlement has at last been reached. The princess has admitted a debt of 100000 kronen ($200 0000) as being due to her former husband. The present agreement dispenses with the monthly payments hitherto made to the princess by Prince Philip, as he will compound for the allowance by the pay ment of sum of 1,25o,O00 kronen, which

Some Curious Forecasts

Cairo. September 17.-(special. )-some curious forecasts are made by Sheikh Mahmoud, an Egyptian astrologer, who predicted in his review, "Tawalch el Ma louk,' the murder of the Premier Bou- tros Pasha, and the appointment of Said Pasha as his successor and also prophe- sled the death of King Edward for the month of May. Among coming events Skiekh Mahmoud predicts the early death of the present Sultan and the perpetra- ton of murder by the nationalist party during the coming year. He declares that King George will annex three Mos lem cities, but that Egypt will not re- ceive a constitution during his reign. France will increase in importance dur ing the next few years, while the Turk ish influence will wane in Arabia, large portion of which Is to fall into the hands of Great Britain. In addition, Sir Eldon Gorst will in the near future be raised to a peerage.

Politics in South Africa

Capetown, September 17.-(Special.)-- Politics are red hot in South Africa. Speaking at Smithfeld, Orange Free State, recently, General Hertzog, min ister of justice, said he could see disaster awaiting them if they followed Dr. Jame- sons diaboical call to discord and dis union. General Hertzog accused the un- ionists of lies and distortions of facts, and of conducting an assassin-like cam paign on scale which almost passed comprehension.

.BALL|NGER DON'T
WANT TO TALK
(By United Press Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON. March 25.-At-
torney Brandeis asked that Secre-
tary of the Interior Ballinger be
called to the witness stand when
the Ballinger inquiry was resumed
today.
Attorney Vertrees for Ballinger,
opposed the request of Louis
CLAWS representative, and de-
clared that Brandeis had no right
to summon the secretary. Vertrees
added that Brandeis should not be
allowed to question Secretary Bal
linger until he (Vertrees) had con-
cluded an examination of the sec
retary.
Brandeis retorted to Vertrees'
objection by showing a copy of a
letter written by the secretary of
the interior in which Ballinger ex-
pressed willingness to be present
and at all times expedite the work
OF the committee.
After short argument, the com
mittee voted to thresh out the
question and decide it later in an
executive session.

ELECTION is DEAD

President r. f. Strahorn Of the
North Coast railway today sent a
communication to the city council
declining to pay the expense of a
special election or to have anything
to do with trying to secure the
franchise in that way, on the ground
that such an election would not be
legal and the company could not
consent to accept franchise

This settles the question of the
election in so far as the railway

North Coast.
The next move is now up to the
city council The councilmen are
so far standing pat in their de-
mands for terminal rates. 1t is ad-
mitted that the council must reopen
the franchise question, if there is
to be an election or no election, as

SLASHES WIFE;

Milton Fisher is dying at the coun-
ty hospital and her husband is be-
ing treated at the county Jail for
injuries he sustained when he
dived head foremost into 15foot
well. as the result of a family quar-
rel in their home near the famous
Old Dominion smclter.
Fisher Slashcd his wife about
the head and shoulders with a
razor, inflicting wounds which the
doctor says he cannot survive.
He then rushed from the house
and hurled himself into the open
well. Neighbors who heard Mrs.
Fishers screams took her to hos
pital. Later they removed Fisher
from the we'll. How he survived
his fall is mystery to the physi-
clans who dressed the painful
wounds on his body and head.
