BULGARIANS KNOW
THEIR ARMY Is ACTIVE
But They Have Received no Information
About the Attack on Tchatalja

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. l2.-Although it
is known here that the Bulgarian attack
on the Tchatalia forts has begun, no de-
tails have been received. The Bnlga-
rians and Servians are investing Adri-
anople and are working in hearty co.
operation. Clashes with the Turkish
garrison occur daily.
The Turkish prisoners of war declare
that the conditions in the city are des-
perate. The population is on the verge
of starvation, and it is thought that
the garrison win be starved out in ten
days at the utmost.
Sofia, Montenegro, Nov. 12.-The bonn
bardment of the Turkish city of Tara
kosch continued throughout Sunday.
Toward evening the garrison withdrew
to the highest point of the works ON
the side of the mountain. Their position
was rendered so desperate by snow and
lack of provisions that they attempted
to escape to Scutari but were driven
back into the city.

MAY BENEFIT BOSTON.
War Departments Denial of Pier Ex-
tension at New York.

New York Nov. l2.--The announce
ment from Washington that the war de-
partment had denied the application OF
the German steamship lines for an eX-
tension of their Hoboken piers, reached
New York too late for the steamship
agents to hold conference last night.
The Hamburg American local directors
held meeting however, after which
Julius I. Meyer, director, said he did
not care to comment on the war de-
partment's decision but this much is
sure: The $4,000 ton Imperator is com
ing here in May and when she arrives
there must be dock awaiting her. Ii
not here. elsewhere"
This was in line with the recent talk
that if the bigger vessels now building
We're not accommodated in, New York. the
steamship companies would send them
to Boston. Dock Commissioner Tomp-
kins returned from that city last night
declaring that if the decision of the
war department was final, it would be
serious blow to the commerce of New
York and to that of the whole country.
Washington, Nov. l2.-Secretary Stim-
sons action was taken yesterday after
with the harbor line board
because, as he explains in written opin-
ion, there is no exigency in the present
situation that cannot be met by the
temporary use of other piers by the
ships. In the opinion he
takes occasion to warn the city of New
York against the destruction of its har
Dor facilities and to recommend that

Public Protest Aroused Follow.
ing Yesterdays Fatality.
SAY STREETS ARE NOT SAFE
No Action Has Been Taken Over Death
of Milne Girl, as Stat Attorney
Intimates Driver Held
to Have Be 81 -jnsible.

|
The o % e fatality on Washing
ton q Terday afternoon, in which
Florence Zine, aged O. was killed, has
called forth considerable comment from
people who claim that the street has
been used altogether too much as
speedway for motors during the past
summer and fall In this connection it
is not intimated that the driver who fig
ured in yesterdays accident was held
wholly responsible for the child's death,
although a number of persons claim that
the machine was on the wrong side of
the road when it struck the child. The
principal cause for complaint. however,
seems to follow from the fact that tha
accident came as a kind of climax to,
what many claim has been the widest
kind of automobile speeding on the
street all season.
Persons who had yet to learn that
witnesses had absolved the driver in
yesterdays accident from the whole
blame, were incensed at the apparent
carelessness of the men at the wheel.
They cited the fact that several local
motorists have made practice OF COM
ing down Washington street at dizzy
speed for some time. 1t is claimed that
motorists who are running their cars
around the city every day have come
down Washington street hin at pace
which forbids recognition of the occu-
pants on the part of pedestrians Ac-
cording to one well Informed mans com
ment on the situation. one of the Yer
mont statutes says that driver shall
sound a note of warning just before he
passes each street intersecting the street
or avenue which he is traversing.
Along with the fragrant violation of
this part of the law, it is claimed that
the speed limit for towns and cities is
only a dead letter to the speeders and
that utter disregard for the rights of
others is the rule and not the exception.
Yesterdays fatality was the first of its
kind to occur this season, but people
who have been aroused by the trans
formation of Washington street into
speed course declare that the happy ab-
'ence Of deaths until yesterday was due
% the earefulness of pedestrians, rather
han to any precaution taken by many
lrivers.
A report current on the street last
hight stated that the driver implicated
n yesterdays accident had given him
elf up to the police. This rumor was
ntirely unfounded and a statement
made by the states attorney this morn
ne indicated that little blame was at
ached to the young man by the authori-
les.
The funeral of the little girl win be
eld from her mothers home tomorrow
fternaon at o'clock.
