as it was generally expected that Bull

general that Bulgaria would demand
the capitulation of Adrianople and

Apparently Bulgaria has found good
reasons for refraining from such an

suspension of hostilities until the ar

note and mortgage when properly
transferred to him; and that he knew
nothing about the property in ques-
ton and took defendants statement
in regard to it that it was all right.
The note was to be Endorsed to him

Hold Cars to
Boost Coal.

Boston, Nov. 20.-An investigation OF
the relation of the shortage of freight
cars and their detention on the Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad to the increased
price of coal was begun. late today,
before the Interstate Commerce Com
missions special examiner, Ward
Ward Prouty.
Vice President H. ]. Horne of the
New Haven Road admitted, upon be-
ing questioned by L. d. Brandeis,
counsel for freight shippers, that
freight cars were detained on the Bos-
ton & Maine an average of $50 days
each, last year, at the time that the
increased cost of coal was laid to q
shortage of cars Mr. Horne also adj
mitteo that the railroad company ept
many cars to hold coal for its own
use. depriving shippers of cars to get
coal for the public.
.'It is one of the abuses of the sys-
tenn said Vice President Horne that
different heads of different depart
ments exercise thir own Judgment as
to lust how much and how long guam
titles of coal should be held for the
future use of the road
Counsel Brandeis was unable to Sc
cure from the witness any statement
as to the average delay of freight cars,
during the present coal shortage MI.
Horne, however, admitted that the
company had around 700 or 800 less
freight cars at this time, than during
the coal shortage of year ago. Ii
was due, he said. to the wear and tear
and d:scarding old cars. A great many
had ueen replaced.
While Vice President Horne declared
he believed the cause of the shortage OF
cars to lie outside of the Boston &
Maine Road, and in fact outside OF
New England, Examiner Prouty said
he thought the railroad eompany's Of
ficiass should furnish evidence as tt
the number of cars available and the
extent to which they We're subjected
to delays. The testimony will be con
tinued tomorrow. along such lines.

Following are a few, Of his able re-

This accounts for the increase. Tuber-

Insanity is disease and in many
