BULGARs SATISFIED.

SOFIA. Special Premier Cue
chon announced today that prep
aration for an exchange of Dris-
oners with Turkey will be COM
menced as soon as the peace
terms are under way.
1t is expected that the BuIga-
rtan Government viii begin the
movement of troops northward
from Chatalja within a week.
There Is a general feeling Sof
satisfaction here over the concIu-
sion of an armistice, for the hor-
rors of war are being felt keenIy
throughout the kingdom. There
is a feeling of pride also I'm the
achievements of the BuIgar SOL
diers, for il is expected that Bull
2aria VIII acquire about 10000
square miles of new territory as
g result of the war.
DIR. S. Daneff will probably
head the Bulgarian peace COM
mission to London, unless the
Balkan kings go to take part i'm
the parley, and this Is not re-
garded as likely.
Although the way has been
opened TO peace negotiations, the
formulation of a treaty will be
beset with difficulty over the dis
position of the Turkish cities of
AdrianoDle and Dedeaghatch.
Bulgarian Government officials
say that this government will not
renounce its claims to the cities,
and Turkey has already declared
that she is determined to hold
AdrianOpIe.

Governors assembled at the Governors

their States as a means OF offsetting
existing tax abuses.
After discussing the tax in the alb

led up to its adoption, the Wiscon-

The conventional thing to say
about income taxation is that it is

American States have tried income

Because he walked up to Build

according TO Mr.. Beck, without

face, Thomas ID. Farmer, about
fifty-iiVe years old, a fireman en-
ployed at the City Hall, was fined

According to Mr.. Beck, the

had been "doCked," or. rather,
had his pay held up by Mr.. Beck
until the Council Committee on
Grounds and Buildings could look
into the fireman'S absence, ac-
costed the Inspector at Ninth and
Broad Streets, and, without
word, according to Mr.. Beck, hit
him under the left eye.

Lohsters Not Decreaslng.

About this time of year one may
annually expect the report that the
Holsters are becoming scarce along the
Maine coast, a statement that the facts
do not bear out, except in that there
is a diminution of the catch generally
and naturally accompanied by an as
censiOn of price. But the decrease
is not due to a decrease of Holsters,
There are number of closed seasons
now on in this State. some of which
have closed temporarily fishing
grounds that are among the best
Another chief cause is that the lob
sters are now in hiding to change their
shells, a period at which they are al
ways more than usually difficult to
catch. A third reason is found in fhe
vacation season. Vacationists are
found all along the coast OF the State
and when they come many of thee'p b-
ster men change their business = a
few weeks They fix up their motor
and sail boats an dtake out excursion
parties. while some lease their boats
and their own services for the season.
The accession of city people to the
coast also increases the local demands
for Holsters and prevents so many
from reaching the market.
More and more HOLSTERS are being
caught annually in the State of Maine
and put on the market than for a
great many years. The catch OF 1910
was a record breaker. and that Of 1871

b. ATHENS Special Greece is
cepartng to continue war against
Turkey despite the conclusion of
THE armistice on the part of her
three Balkan allies.
The Greek government pro-
fcsses to fcar a trick on the part
of the Turks. The Turks are noted
for the strategy of their diplomacy
and the Greek statesmen express
the belief that Turkey is merely
playing for time.
Although Greece has a navy
fully as strong, If not stronger,
than that of Turkey. her possess
sions are exposed TO attacks from
number of different quarters.
Premier Neniclos and Foreign
Minister Coromilas are undoubt-
edly trying TO bridge the growing
breach between Greece and Bull
garia, but their task is a difficult
one. Nothing official has been
learned of the reported fight be-
tween Greeks and BuIgarians at

GOAD ADMITS HE
CARRIED two GUNS

The trial of Sidna Allen was re-
sumed Wednesday morning mt $3.50
o'clock.

County Circuit Court, was put on
the stand for the prosecution. His
evidence in chief was practically
the same as i'm the other trials,

and those of others who came
under his observation in the
tragedy.
On crOss-eXamlnatiOn he stated
that when the sheirff was directed
TO take charge of the prisoner,
nc advanced n few steps, and
reached down as though he was
reaching for pistol, and that he
(the witneSs) drew his pistol at
this time. This was about the
time the first shot was fired. Goad
said he had heard no shot up TO
this time. He declared that Floyd
Allen and Deputy Sheriffs Fowler
and Edwards were the only par
ties that he saw with pistols in
the court room.
Witness then admitted that he
fired only at Floyd Allen in the
court room. but fired at Sidna
Allen on the court green. He said
he had apprehensions of trouble;
that he did not inform Judge
Massie of IL, but discussed it with
commemorative Attorney w. NJ
Foster. He had two pistols, he
admitted: one an automatic, 80,
and the other a Smith & WeSSon,
81. He used the automatic.
X. II. McGlOclklin, the next
witness in evidence, made a SUBJ
stantial repetition OF his testi-
monY given on former trials.
j. n. Early, a member of the
jury i'm the trial or March 18th,

trast with what it was I'm the be-
ginning of the former trial.
