At the regular annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Las Vegas
Commercial club, held last night in
the club rooms, William J. Lucas was
elected for the sixth time as president
of the organization. William E. Gort-
ner was chosen vice president to sue

more. Mr.. Lucas declared that he
had served the club for I'VE years and
believed he should be given a needed
rest. He said perhaps the club would
do better should a new president take
charge OF. its affairs, although he had
done his best to make Its work sue
cessful. The club, members, however,
would not allow Mr.. Lucas to with
draw his name from nomination. He
was elected by acclamation.
In the selection of vice president
and directors the club members feel
that wise action was taken. Mr.. Gort-
ner is one Of the most enthusiastic
members of the club and one Of the
towns best boosters. In the board Of
directors number of new members
have been placed. it being the opinion
of the club that while the old direc
tors had done their work well, it
would be for the benefit of the or
ganization to infuse some new blood
into the governing board
Before the election Mr.. Lucas made
a brief verbal report. He said that
the Commercial club by all means
should be continued in existence, as a
without a commercial or
ganization is dead community. Mr..
Lucas asserted that the present club
should be maintained He de-
clared it would cost just as much to
maintain an office. with no social adj
cantages, as it would to keep the pres
ent handsome rooms. Mr.. Lucas said
the club. while 1t is an organization
for the good Of the whole community
has not received the report that
should be given ii He pleaded for =
larger membership, saying that every
person who joined the club not only
helped himself but helped the entire
community.
The club adopted an amendment to
the bylaws providing that the monthly
dues should be cut to $1.25 per month,
or SIS a year. The plan Of making
two classes of membership. advertis-
Ing and regular, also was adopted. The
advertising members will pay a larger
fee for dues each month, but viii en-
Joy no privilege that will not be ex-
tended to the other class Of mem
bers, this plan having been evolved
solely for the purpose Of raising reve-
nue.. It requires about $4,000 year
to maintain the club and do efficient
work. It is planned to increase the
revenue to such point that It win

army has started for Mdstapha Pasha
to force the road t. Adrianople where

Servia and Bulgaria Restless
If Servia and Bulgaria have not all

joining their modified armies to that
OF Montenegro, whose troops are said
to be generally engaged with the
Turks along the frontier. Should the
two Balkan nations decide to appeal
to arms, hal ia million soldiers of the
Balkan states who have been concen-

Constantinople, Oct 9.-The Turkish
government awaits events with calm
assurance, according to the Ottoman
foreign minister. In an interview Civ
en- to the Associated Press today ne
said:
"We face the future with perfect
confidence. should like to point out,
however, that the declaration OF war
by Montenegrins was made contrary
to the practice adopted by all civilized
states. 1t went against the stipulation
Of The Hague convention Of which
Montenegro was signatory.
I'm the first place. no attempt was
made to seek the good offices Of a |
third party in order to find means Of
avoiding conflict.
Secondly, the declaration of war
did not set forth any real or tangible
cause for war.
Thirdly, Montenegro opened hostil-
tiles without granting the usual pre-
llminary delay and actually before the
declaration Of war was presented to
the Porte"
