These laws are so stringent and

CAR FERDINAND
FEARS TO FACE
PUBLIC ANGER

Vienna, July 14.-With Car Fer
dinand of Bulgaria lying i'll in his
palace at Sofia, the suspension of ali
newspapers in that city and the
populace thronging the streets and
surrounding the palace, the belief is
growing that the King is afraid to
face the people, who are beginning
to hear of severe reverses. The pal
ace is guarded night and day by
picked men, while rumOTs or disaf-
fection in the military party are
confirmed.
An outbreak of popular fury has
been expected in Sofia for some days,
but tonight's advices indicate that
the authorities have managed thus
far to keep it down The people of
Sofia are in ignorance of the extent
of the defeat suffered recently by
Bulgarian arms, but there is much
uneasiness over what will happen
when the truth finally leaks out.

spreading reports Of disaster to the

There is no doubt that Car Fer

ply to queries on the subject that

Washington, July 14.-There is

with regard to the trend that the in

Publication today of additional
Mulhall letters, in which the former
agent of the National Association
of Manufacturers made free use of
the name of President Wilson and
his Secretary of Labor is taken as
an indication that the n. A. NJ. is
going to fight, and with the admin
istration dragged into the investiga-
tion there are revived rumors thot
the President himself may break
precedent once more and make a
statement. or at least cause his re-
lations with Mulhall, if he had any,
to be laid before the committee in
some formal way.
