by the Balkan allies, according to an
official announcement and a great bat
tie between the Bulgarians and Turks
is on all along the line of the Tchatal-

Unofficial reports say the Turks
have gained a great success. The
Turks succeeded after some hours of
fighting in defeating the right Bulgar-
ian wing and in repulsing the left
wing. They captured II guns and
5000 prisoners. The Turkish warships
contributed largely to this success.
The opening of the battle was q
wonderful spectacle. The black face
OF the Bulgarian position sparkled
with flashes. Some of the Turkish
heavy guns fired black powder. The
bursting of heavy shells soon raised
a curtain of smoke which, mingling
with the morning mist, rolled majest-
ically down the valley between the
combatants.

since his defeat for reelection before
the Lotus club here. In a speech
which he himself called a swan song,
gently railing at William J. Bryan's
suggestion that ex-presidents be given
debating power without votes in con-
gress, Taft closed with toast to:
"The health and success of the able,
patriotic and distinguished gentleman
who is to be the next president of the
United States"
President Taft reviewed at length
the problems which the chief execu-
tive must face, and urged that the ap-
be taken from him to enable him to
give more time to putting into effect
the pledges of the party that elected
him.
Abiding humorously to the criti-
cisms to which he has been subjected,
the president declared that he foresaw
the end of "indiscriminate muckrak-
ing" and unfounded criticisms of pub
lie officials, which, he said, had done
grave injustice to many honorable
men,"

Boise.-Judge R. I. Perky Of Boise
was appointed United States senator
from Idaho by Governor James H.
Hawley, to fill vacancy caused by
the death of Senator Weldon D. Hey
burn.
Judge Perky is o prominent demo
crat and was formerly state chairman
of that party. He was defeated for
national committeeman this year after
a bitter fight between the Hawley and
Nugent factions. Perky served as dis
trict judge for four years.
1t was understood that Governor
Hawley would resign the governor
ship and that Lieutenant-Governor
Sweetser would appoint the retiring
governor to fill the vacancy.
In an unauthorized statement, Gov
ernor Hawley said he abandoned the
plan to have himself appointed be-
cause the longer he considered the
act the more repulsive it became to
him, and he thought his intent would
be misconstrued.
