Rumania Begins
War on Bulgaria

That King Charles Of Rumania
had declared war on Bulgaria and
had actually begun an armed in
vasion across the Danube became
known at Sofia, Bulgaria, Friday,
when the Rumanian minister was
recalled. Rumanian troops oc-
cupied the city of Silistria, in the
strip of territory claimed by King
Charles, and which lies between
Turtukai, on the Danube, and
Baltchik, on the Black sea. Ru-
mania, besides claiming this
strip, gives notice that it will
take part in the final peace nego-
tiations of the Balkan states.

Bulgaria Recalls Its Army

The Bulgarian minister in st.
Petersburg informed Russia on
Thursday that King Ferdinand
had called off his whole army
operating against the Servians
and Greeks in Macedonia and had
removed General Savoff for pre-
cipitating the war. Outside
sources of information intimate
that this action was forced by
the series of costly defeats in
flicted on the Bulgar army by the
Greeks and Serbs. Without
doubt the course af King Ferdi-
nand was influenced by the deci-
sion of King Charles of Rumania
to make war on Bulgaria at once.

Murder Cases Are Parallel
With Woman As a Factor

LOS ANGELES, CAL. July IL.
More than two weeks have
passed since Charles E. Pendell,
a wealthy money lender, was
found murdered in his office in
this city, and the case remains as
much a mystery as it was on the
day the mutilated body was dis
covered. Of one thing, however,
the police are thoroughly con-
vinced. They believe that when
the person or persons who killed
Pendell are found, then the long
sought murderers of Joseph
Logue in Chicago will be found.
Seldom have two crimes COM
mitted at points so far apart Of
fered such case of similarity in
every important detail. That the
two murders were committed by
the same hand appears certain to
those who have studied the two
cases.
The murder of Joseph Fl. Logue
occurred in Chicago on December
20 last. Logue was a money
lender as was Pendell, the Los
Angeles victim. Both also dealt
in diamonds and jewelry. Both
murders were committed in the
middle Of the day, Logue being
killed at about the hour of noon
and Pendell at about 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon. In each case the
last person seen to enter the Of
flee was a well-dressed woman.
Robbery is supposed to have
furnished the motive in each case,
though strangely enough the ma
ture and amount Of the booty
have never been determined def
initely either in the Logue or the
Pendell case. Both victims were
known to be in the habit of carry
ing considerable sums of money
and large amounts of jeWelry.
The brutality of the murderers
was evidenced in each case, both
of the victims being shot, slashed
and beaten.
The detectives are positive that
the two murders were committed
by the same skilled professional
criminals "a man and a woman.
But in neither case did there ap-
pear the slightest clue that might
lead to the identity of the pair.
The murderer or murderers COM
mitted their crimes so skilfully
and so quietly that persons in adj
joining offices heard no sound.

TAXES
MUST Be PAID

The new revenue law is creating
no little inconvenience to assessors
and tax payers who have no real
estate. At the time the assessment
is made the taxes must be paid
whether you have money with
which to pay or not-you must
borrow. Mr.. Martinson finds him
self in queer places when making
demands. Few people have made
themselves acquainted with the new
law. which makes the assessor per-
sonally responsible for the full
amount of the taxes.
Then, too. there is that other
section in the statute that provides
for the payment of half the taxes
in January and the other half be-
fore the first of July of each year,
but penalties the taxpayer and puts
him on the delinquent list if he fails
to way all the taxes before the first
Monday in January. One man paio
about $500 according to law anc
left the other $1,000 till July anc
found that penalty of ten percent
was levied on the thirteen hundred
paid six months ago. But it is law
aud the assessor and tax collector
can't change the law.

with established custom, have the
honor to invite public attention to
the fact that under the laws of our
state the first Monday in September
has been designated and set apart
as public holiday to be known as

This is a day in whose fitting

the purpose for which it has been
set aside by law.
In testimony whereof, l have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the great seal of the state to be
affixed hereto.
Done at the capital in Boise, this
9th day of August, 1913"
