TITANIC SURVIVOR MISSING.
Perhaps Sight of Work Caused Him A
Longing for Elsewhere.

Burlington, Aug 3.--Gus Weinberg,
mentioned to the length of half column
in an afternoon paper as survivor of
the Titanic disaster, had another mar
row escape yesterday but this time it
was from work. The man appeared at
the office of the Champlain Transporta-
tion company Thursday and asked for
money, saying that he was survivor
of the Titanic disaster and that he lost
all of his possessions in the wreck. His
story sounded suspicious and the gener-
al manager of the company offered him
employment instead OF coin. The man
could not very well refuse and therefore
accepted a position in the engine room
of the Chateaugay.
He didn't work over an hour and a
half. however, for as soon as the boat
touched Plattsburgh the survivor came
up missing and all efforts to locate failed.
Upon investigation, it is learned that
Weinberg was arrested a few weeks ago
for intoxication and served sentence in
the county Jail. He also worked the
same story in other towns.
The story in itself would be only
cheap fraud were it not for the fact that
he always seeks to gain notoricty by
maligning Captain Smith who, he
claims, escaped in the garb of woman
by shaving off his whiskers This story
has gained some credence and thus in
manner injured the honor of man who
went down with the ship.
As conclusive evidence that Weinberg
was not on the steamer, the shipping
list furnished by the White Star line and
taken at the port from which the Ii
tanie sailed gives no such name rs Vein
berg and the position which he claimed
to have occupied was filled by man
named Ward

at the Spaulding campus on Camp street.
The juniors piled up a total score of 81
and held the yearlings scoreless. Friday
afternoon will witness the second game
between these elevens at the Camp street
grounds.
The new rules provided considerable
speculation for those closely connected
with the training of the schools team.
The coaches were thoroughly satisfied
with the showing made by the squad
members and are in hopes Of developing
considerable of this material.
The feature Of the game was the spec
tacular runs by Averill through broken
field. The little halfback of the juniors
was always good for long gains when
called on to carry the ball. Levin and
Tomasi also eXcelled for the winning
warriors. The yearlings were outweighed
TO the man and were forced to play
the open game. Two cleverly executed
forward passes featured their play Max
Wiley furnished good plays for the los
ing eleven.
Capt Langley of the varsity acted asI
referee OF the contest and Mr.. Cummings
acted in the capacity of umpire. N.

London, Oct 2-The entire Balkan
peninsula is being transformed into All

having been ordered to gather there to
decide in trial by combat the question
of changing condition of the inhabitants
of Europe and the provinces Of Turkey.
For the first time the four states OF the
Balkan alliance, Greece, Servia, Bulga-
ria and Montenegro, are to act together
in arms against Turkey, a common
enemy.
The effect of this demonstration by
the military forces of the Balkan states
is the first to be tried. and ii this open
threat does not secure what they de-
mand from the Ottoman government,
the next few hours may see further
steps taken. The Ottoman authorities
are no less busy. while Austria vii find
it impossible much longer to refrain
from taking military precautions to
keep the Seryians from encroaching
upon her territory Austria insists that
she must remain a part of Turkey. One
slight untoward incident will start
general eonfagration, according to the
prevailing opinion in diplomatic circles
md the great powers might easily be
lrawn into this.
