Philadelphia, April 22.-The govern ment's petition asking for permanent injunction to prevent the United States Steel corporation and it's subsidiaries from destroying papers in Ueir possession which the government might need in It's dissolution suit did not reach definite conclusion today.

after the dissolution suit was filed last October subsidiary of the corporation destroyed papers and records.
 Counsel for the corporation said they did not object so much to the granting of an injunction as they did to the im- putation that the corporation was de- spoiler of documents. They explained that the papers destroyed had been in the hands of the government for long time and that the Steel officials had no idea the papers would be wanted again now.

covered that cards ordering all
Chicago policemen to vote for

These things were truly terri-

If Sullivan were to try and dis

grow up to take an important place

They would gladly drop poison in it's

infant, its birth has not been an OBJ

Their origin is lost in the obscur-

say That they are an offshoot of the
great Aryan race, to which we be-
long, and which some aver had it's
origin in Asia, while others declare
that it began in Europe. At any

Brought the Bulgar Name
Those branches with which we
are now particularly concerned
emerged from the southern stem
of the great Slavic family, the
Servians and the Croatians first
and the Bulgarians, who came
from region farther east little
later. The Croatians ecame diff

were gradually absorbed into Hun

Independent nation in the western
part of the Balkan region, and
retained their independence until
they were conquered by the invad-
ing Turks in the fourteenth CEN
tury.
The Bulgars came from the out
skirts of Russia, pushed across the

Both the Bulgars and the Serbs

They are medium stature, and gen.

heard of the rose plantations of
Bulgaria where the precious altar
of roses is distilled. and the plains
of Servia are rich with grass and

No Immediate Changes.

The entire population of these
countries probably does not ex-
coed about 100000. But if they
should now absorb the population
of European Turkey they would
make a nation of perhaps 10000
600 souls. Give them free access to
the sea and they might double their
population and quadruple their
wealth.
There is undoubtedly an inter-
mixture of the Slav element in
Greece also. But it is probable that
Greece, While willing to enter into
alliance with the Bulgarians and
Servians, will always prefer to
maintain it's national independence,
through pride in its glorious past, if
for no other reason.
1t is not likely that the names of
Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro
will Immediately disappear from the
map of Europe, although their
boundaries will be changed. There
are too many dynastic prides and
prejudices in the way to permit of
an immediate absorption of all un-
der one head, but the new nation
will stand forth in spirit if not in
name and eventually it will be
united for in unity only is strength
and combination is the order Of the
day.
