Bones and DIR. Cary L. Grayson. They
motored south along the Connecticut
river for many miles toward Spring
field and intended to make wide cir
Gle homeward, but got tangled up in
the routes and were overtaken by dark
ness. Their progress was necessarily
slow because the rain soaked roads ran
up and down hill, frequently along steep
embankments, where the chauffeur
picked his way cautiously to avoid skid
ding
The president passed through num-
ber of small towns, where he was often
recognized and greeted, but made no
stops except to inquire here and there
as to the route home. Covered with
mud. the big White House machine made
the journey without mishap.
When the president returned, the cor
respondents submitted few questions
to him, inquiring whether he would take
any action in connection with the threat
ened strike OF railway conductors and
trainmen on eastern lines, but the presi-
dent let it be known that he had nothing
to say,
Frank Hall, White House messenger,
yesterday brought the president a bun
die of official papers from Secretary Tu-
multy, the nature of which, however,
was not disclosed.

w. Morgan of the Wood Morgan detec-
tive agency on Wednesday at Mortified,
where he was employed in the stone
sheds of the Woodbury. Granite Co.
The matter which Guerra is alleged
to have sent through the mail was a
post card issued by the Italians who
sympathized with the strikers at Hope
dale, Mass Upon it was photograph
of Emilio Bachiocchi, who was killed by
4 guard at the time Of the strike in the
Draper mills. Bachiocchi was a picket.

ing to the mills to work. The feeling
ran high and in an exchange Of shots he
was killed.

by His Excellency Draper during the
strike at Hopedale, Mass, April "a. 1913.

allowed the courts in such case and
the sentence may be either light or very

AN OLD CASE UP AGAIN.
Decision in Lower Court Reversed and
| Cause Remanded.

! Brattleboro, July 1l.-Onee more the
famous case of Edison +. Rowley and
Martha r. Rowley against George w.
Shepardson and Eva c. Shepardson
comes to the front in local legal circles,
this time because of decree Just hand
ed down by Chief Justice Rowel of the
state supreme court.
The decree is to the effect that the
decision OF Judge Fish of the superior
court is reversed, the demurrer filed by
the attorneys of Mr. Shepardson is sus-
tanned, the bill adjudged insufficient and
the cause remanded with the mandate
that the bill be dismissed with costs
unless the court below permits further
proceedings as provided by sections 1917
and 1918 of the public statutes, which
allow an entirely new suit on a fresh
basis.
This case has been in litigation
through the series OF courts in the state
for some time. II grew out of the
sale Of farm by George w. Shepard,
son, acting as agent for his wife. to
Edison f. and Martha f. Rowley for
about 81 600 The representation by
Shepardson. ii is claimed, at the time
OF the sale was that the farm contained
some 1000 sugar maple trees Later
the purchasers found that this was not
within 200 Of the real number and
suit to recover was instituted Judg-
ment was obtained for 81 ,0e0, but this
was reversed by the supreme court on
an error and another suit was brought
up on which judgment for sl,2l3 was
obtained
This was taken to the supreme court
and the suit against Mrs. Shepardson
was discontinued on the ground that she
was not the responsible party. The next
move was a suit in chancery against
Mr.. Shepardson on the ground that he
had conveyed the property to his wife
and that she had received the benefit of
the alleged fraudulent action.
This chancery suit was heard by
Judge Frank L. Fish as chancellor and
his decree ordered that the balance of
81 900 due on a mortgage given by the
Rowleys should be extinguished and in
addition that the Shepardsons should
pay the Rowleys the sum of $4,000
with interest from Jan. 90 1918, to time
OF payment on or before April |, 1918.
From this decision the Shepardsons
demutred and the supreme court has
now sustained the demurrer, which was
oyerruled by Judge Fish. Chase & Chase
and w. Il. Daley for the plaintiffs; II. G. |
and f. +. Barber for the defendants.

Bulgarian Territory Invaded
by Greedy Roumanian
Army
ROUMANIA WANTS
PART OF SPOILS
Recalls It's Minister to Sofia
and Proclaims
War

Bucharest, Roumania, July 1.-THE
Roumanian government decided yester,
day to notify the Bulgarian government
that the Roumanian army would cross
into Bulgarian territory and also that
: Roumania would take part in the dis
cussion of the final partition of the ter
ritories of what was formerly Euro
pean Turkey.
London, July 1.-THE king of Rou-
mania has declared war on Bulgaria. The
Roumanian minister at Sofia has been
recalled. The Sofia correspondent OF the
Times sent this announcement early this
morning.
Vienna, July l1.-Roumanian troops
began to cross the Bulgarian frontier at
four O'Clock yesterday afternoon, accord
ing to late advices here.
London, July 1.-THE end of fort
nights desperate fighting in the Balk-
ans finds Bulgaria forced to appeal to
the powers to arrange peace. The Bull
garian plan to drive a wedge between
the Greek and Servian armies in the
neighborhood of Gueyheli has completely
failed. The last reports OF the fighting
received from Athens show that the Ser
vians and Greeks at this point are com
bining their forces while the Roumanian
army is beginning an invasion of Bull
garia.
The latter fact doubtless was the de-
Gliding factor in the Bulgarian appeal to
the powers. How far Bulgaria's defeat
is due to dissensions in high military
quarters, which resulted in the resigna
tion of General Savoff, and how far 70
the fact that the Bulgarian troops,
which bore the brunt of the hard fight
ing in the last campaign were more ex-
hausted than the Greek and Seryan
forces, probably will never be known.
Nothing can be predicted at the
moment as to how events will shape
themselves, the Roumanian invasion of
Bulgaria having brought an entirely new
factor into the problem. Russia and
France are devoting their efforts to per-
suading the allies to adopt moderate
attitude in order to facilitate peace
full settlement The Servian premier is
quoted in the Vienna Neue Freie Presse
as declaring that the new war has com
pletelv set aside all treaties of alliance
and that peace must now he negotiated
on an entirely new basis.
Belgrade Servia, July 1.-THE cam
paign OF Servians and Greeks against
the Blugarans in Macedonia is regarded
by the Servian military authorities as
concluded, since the defeat of the Bull
garians in the recent fighting. The Ser
Wan troops this morning joined hands
with the Greek forces, which had just
taken Strumitza.
