Mr.. Van Zandt Was the Man With the
Violin.

that "a headache was raging"

to melt time away by playing upon his
violin.

WAR OF ALLIES is ON
OVER 10000 BULGARIANS DIE IN
FIERCE BATTLE.
5loodiest Fighting in All Balkan War
Revealed In Report of Disaster
to Servian Army.

London, July S.--After ten days of
fighting. more severe and deadly in
character than any in the last Balkan
war, light begins to break upon the
hitherto obscure operations.
The Servians have lost more men
than in the whole previous campaign,
and semi-official statements issued at
Belgrade have the appearance of an
intention to prepare the public for
news of a disaster
Belgrade dispatch. describing the
five days operations between Vardar
and Kwivolak. says that after holding
a greatly superior force in check the
Servians were obliged to retire Thus
Kwivolak fell into the hands of the
Bulgarians. 1t contends, however,
that this Bulgarian success was insig-
nificant compared with the Servian
successes against the Bulgarian right
wing.
Another semi-official communication
says the Servians lost $4,000 killed
and wounded and the Bulgarians 90
600. The Bulgarian losses were in
creased by the poor organization of
their Red Cross service and lack of
communication and transports. Their
wounded were left on the battlefield
and the dead were unburied
There is heavy fighting also between
the Servians and Bulgarians to the
south of Istip and in the neighborhood
of Kotchana. About 100000 men are
engaged and the losses on both sides
appear to be terrible

LAWYER PASSES THE BUCK"
Lauterbach Says That Story He Had
Influence at Washington Was
Merely an "Exagqeration."

Washington, July edward Lau-
terbach confessed to the Overman
lobby inquiry committee on Tuesday
that he had told Lewis Cass Ledyard
that he was able TO prevent or head
off the confessional investigation of
the steel trust.
Lauterbach admitted that when he
told Ledyard of coming to Washington
ito look over the situation" he had
actually seen no member of the house
or senate nor any other official He
said he had learned that President
Taft was opposed to the investiga-
ton" from Lamar and Henry b. Mar
tin. secretary of the Antitrust
league.
Then your statement to Ledyard
that you had been to Washington and
learned things that prompted you to
say the investigation could be stopped
was a falsehood?" demanded Senator
Reed.
1T was an exaggeration. replied
Lauterbach.

Pittsburgh. Pa. July e.-As a re-
suit of the suspension of the First
Second National bank of Pittsburgh
on Monday, one of the largest insti.
tutions in the country. of which w. S.
Kuhn Is president the government
may start criminal prosecution. The
bank had more than $4,000 600 in
deposits.
The circumstance or which the
probable prosecutions are based is
the discrepancy OF nearly $4,000 900
between the sworn report to the
comptroller of the currency as to the
banks condition on June 4 and what
should have been true copy of this
report published in the Pittsburgh
newspapers.
The closing of the First-Second
bank was followed by action in rapid
series against various other interests
with which the Kuhns are identified
During the day there was a run on
the Pittsburgh Bank for Savings, a
large institution. of which j. s.
Kuhn is president Then came the
closing of the First National bank Of
McKeesport. an adjacent city which
is closely allied to the First-Second of
Pittsburg. Soon afterwards a re-
ceiver was appointed for the banking
house of j. S. G. w S. Kuhn, incor-
porated.
Greatest Of all disasters in this ire
mendous financial crash, however,
was the receivership for the Ameri-
can Water Works and Guarantee com
pany, the largest concern of it's kind
in the country, of which ]. S. Kuhn
is president. This corporation con-
trolls water-works plants in about
eighty cities and towns in the Uni

The one consoling feature of the
situation was a reassuTing statement
sent out from Washington by Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo, in
which he declared that the general
