NEW MRS. GRANT
TO GET BIG SHARE
OF BIG F0RT.TNE
Provided She Survives Son of
Former President
ABOUT 100000 INVOLVED
Children OF First Mrs. Grant Pro
tected Because Mothers Proper
ty Is In Real Estate.

San Diego, Cal, July 20.-U. S.
Grant, eldest son of the late Gen. u.
S. Grant, whose marriage here
week ago to Mrs. America Workman
VIII of Los Angeles was not an
nounced until yesterday, started on
his honeymoon this afternoon, when
he and his bride left for San Fran
cisco. There they Will take the
steamer Arangi, bound for Aus
tralia, and they will have toured
South Africa and South America be-
fore December, 1914 when they plan
to return to America.
San Diego is greatly exercised
about the wedding, partly because of
the secrecy that attended it and
party because of the ante-nuptiaI
agreement, details OF which are now
being whispered about town. 1t is
common report that in this agree
ment two-thirds of Mr.. Grants per-
sonal fortune is pledged TO the new
Mr.. Grant. The children by the first
wife profit from the fact that large
part of the Grant property which
had belonged to the first Mrs. Grant,
was in real estate which could not
be affected by the terms of this ante
nuptial agreement.
Mr.. Grants personal fortune, how
ever, is roughly estimated at $1,000
900, and two-thirds of this, it is
said. will go to the new Mrs. Grant
if she survives her husband He is
60 years old, while she is SO.

IN BALKANS
NOW APPEARS
PROBABEE
Bulgaria Badly Whipped, Now
DOCile
TURKEY STANDS IN WAY
New Cabinet at Sofia Is Ready TO
Send Delegates to Peace
Conference.

London, July 20.--The advent of a
new Bulgarian cabinet comprising a
coalition of the liberal groups seems
to have brought a prospect that
peace negotiations will soon be en-
tered into. After vain attempts to
negotiate separately with Rumania,
the Bulgarian government accepted
the advice Of Austria and Russia
and offered Rumania an important
territorial concession. Bulgaria also
sent delegates to meet the Servian
and Greek and presumably Ruman-
ian representatives at Nish to ne
gotiate an armistice and peace.
1t is confirmed from Athens that
Seryia, Greece and Montenegro are
ready to participate in these negotia-
tons. Turkey however. has intro
duced a new complication and has
notified the European powers of her
intention TO make the Martha river
the new frontier, but that the pow
ers set the claim aside in order to
facilitate and expedite peace; that
the porte would be prepared to settle
the question by diplomatic means
but that the atrocities and vandal-
ism of the Bulgarlans in the occupl-
ed territories make it impossible to
hope for a diplomatic settlement and
that the new conditions arising from
the last war between the allies make
it douby necessary for Turkey TO Sc
cure a frontier guaranteeing safety
to Constantionple and the Dardan-
Giles.
The Porte promises not to cross
the new Martha frontier and asks
the powers assistance in establish
ing ii so as to secure durable rela-
tions between Turkey and bulgaria.
II is not considered likely. how
ever, that Europe will permit the
decisions of the London conference
thus to be thrust aside.
Fighting of no great importance
continues on the Greek and Servian
frontiers. In smart engagement to
the north of Nevrokop, the Greek
captured nine Bulgarian guns.

CHANGES MADE IN
PARCELS POST
SYSTEM
Postage Rate Is Considerably
Reduced
Weight Limit Increased to 20 Pounds
and VIII Be Raised Again
Later.

Washington, July 20.-Plans for
the extension, Improvement and re-
duction in rates OF the parcel post
have been announced by Postmaster
General Burleson.
The changes, to become effective
on August IA, include an increase
from IL pounds to 20 pounds in the
maximum weight of parcels; a ma
terial reduction in the postage rates
in the first and second zones, and
the abandonment of the parcel post
map as means of computing rates
and the substitution for 1t of rate
chart individualized postoffice Ia the
United States.
The plans contemplate the pur
chase of large number OF automo-
bles to be used exclusively for the
delivery of parcel post matter,
1T is my expectation and belief',
said Postmaster General Burleson.
that eventually-and it may be is
or 20 years-the postal service will
handle practically all of the small
package transportation business in
the United States.
THE maximum weight limit ex-
tended now from II to 20 pounds, |
expect to see increased to 100
pounds, and experience may demon
strate the practicability of handling
the parcel business at even lower
rates than we now propose.
"In the making of extensions and
reductions OF rates it is necessary
Tor us to proceed with caution, so
az to afford ample opportunity to pre-
pare for the increased business.
Mr. Burleson announced the chang
es as follows:
"The first zone shall include the
territory within the local delivery
of any office and the first zone rate
OF postage will apply to all parcel
post mail deposited at any Office for
local delivery or for delivery by
city carrier or on rural routes eman-
ating from that postoffice.
The second zone shall include
the remainder of what is now the
first zone, together with the present
second zone and shall include all
the units OF area located in whole or
in part with radius of approx.
mately $50 miles from any given
postofiicc.
The rate of postage on parcels
weighing in excess Of four ounces
in the proposed first zone will be
reduced from five cents for the first
pound and one cent for each addit-
ional pound or fraction thereof to
five cents for the first pound and
one cent for each additional two
pounds or fraction thereof.
The rate for the second zone will
be reduced from FIVE cents for the
first pound and three cents for each
additional pound, or six cents for
the first pound and four cents for
each additional pound or fraction
thereof TO five cents for the first
pound and one cent for each add
tional pound or fraction thereof.

AM ENDMENTS TO THE
 UNDERWOOD BILL
Many Will Be Offered by Republicans
 in the Senate.

Washington, May 20.-That repub- lican senator's plan to insist upon amendments to nearly every item in the Underwood tariff bill when 1t comes before the senate for general discussion became evident today when the finance committee, declared that every member of the minority would have amendments to propose.
 Senator Penrose told the senate he knew of no concerted effort to be made purposely to delay the passage of the bill, but said he was assured that the minority would offer many amend ments to the schedules offered by the democrats Senator Shoot announced that the introduction of amendments would begin as soon as the bill came from committees that many rollcalls will be demanded If this plan is pur- sued systematically the journey of the bill through the senate Is certain to be prolonged.
 Senator Simmons has called for to- morrow the first meeting of the full membership of the finance committee to consider questions relating to the tariff. One matter to be determined will be the list of questions on the tar if to be sent to manufacturers throughout the country Senators Sim mons and Williams will submit list for the committees approval.
 During debate today on the matter of making public briefs filed by man ufacturers with the finance sub com mittees. Senators Townsend of Mich igan engaged in q colloquy with Sen ator Simmons relative to the alleged threats Of manufacturers to reduce wages and the counter intention of the administration through the bureau of corporations to investigate concerns which might reduce wages following tariff reductions.

forced to leave hurriedly on account of the rapidly approaching train, is 8 matter that had not been positive ly determined up to Tuesday evening.
 Rounding a curve at good speed. the engineer of the train saw the ob- struction on the track and tried to stop his train before hitting it, but was unsuccessful in so doing. The impact did not derail the locomotive nor cause any damage to speak of, but the train was brought to stop and then back ed up that an investigation might be made, the engineer at first being of the opinion that he had hit 8 man.
 Certain circumstances the investi- gation of Tuesday shows, tend to in dicate that the tie stealing theory men, toned is entitled to consideration, but there is not enough evidence to show conclusively that there was no de- liberate attempt at wrecking the train. The case Is to receive further and careful attention.
