Turns MfEGR Down

Denver, Aug. l4.-When L. H. WaA-
bridge and W. 3. Montgomery Of
Nssksr appeared at the Chamber Of
Commerce this morning and requested
an opportunity to present the claina
of the Aeeker- Vesnal cutoff At tn
conference over the Midland trail sse-
retary Thorndyke DeLAnd of the Cnain-
Der Of Commerce politely told then
that they could not be admitted.
''This is = conference for Midland
trail adherents only" declared the see
retary, "and until some later meeting
We cannot take up the claims of some
rival route.'
Mr.. Waldbridge is member of the
state highway commission and Mont
gOmery is son of the late Col. b. F.
Montgomery, lieutenant governor.
The conference passed a very strong
resolution in favor of the Midland
route by way of Grand Junction. The
resolution was forwarded 10 the Indi:
ana Auto Manufacturers with a state
pent that the Denver Chamber Of
Commerce is s.aitersbly for the route.
They favor the route originally planasd

That Governor William spry of Utah

Greeks Look for Trouble.

Saloniki, May 28.-Severe tension
still exists between the Greek and
Bulgarian armies facing each other
some distance north of this city. Sew
eral clashes, during which shots were
exchanged, occurred yesterday and
today. The Greeks accuse the Bull
garians Of assuming the aggressive.
In spite of the declaration at the
Bulgarian capital that the Bulgarian
troops have been ordered to observe
a moderate attitude ana to avoid con
flicts with the Greeks, the Buigar-
ian commanders apparently are pre-
pairing to attack Eleftheria with a
view to coming complete occupation
of the dominant position Of Mount

MUST give UP THE
CENTRAL PACIFIC
ATTORNEY GENERAL LAYS DOWN
THE LAW TO THE SOUTH
ERN PACIFIC RAILWAY.

Washington, May 2S.-Attorney
General MeReynolds has decided 10
contend that the Southern Pacific
must give up the contract with the
Central Pacific pending the dissolu-
tion of the Union Pacific merger, and
will bring a suit under the Sherman
law TO accomplish that end if the dis
solution plans fail to include it.
1t became definitely known today
that the attorney general had finally
decided that the Central Pacific must
be divorced from the Southern. The
disposition of the Southern Pacific is
understood to be the cause Of the
hitch in the efforts Of the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific to reach
an agreement.
The plan which the Union Pacific
will shortly present to the attorney
general contemplates, it is believed
here, only the disposition Of the $780,
100000 Of Southern Pacific stock held
by the Union Pacific, and will leave
the question Of the status Of the Cen
trail Pacific to separate litigation TO
be begun by the government. The
supreme court ordered the sale Of TN
ion Pacific holdings of Southern Pa
oific stock and left open to negotia-
tion or future litigation the disposi-
tion Of the Central Pacific.
The position Of Mr.. McReynolds re
garding the Central Pacific comedies
with that Of former Attorney General
Wickersham, who threatened an anti
trust suit unless the Southern Pacific
disposed Of its subsidiary.

Washington, May 2S. Representa-

President Wilson's views on his meas
ures to provide six-year single
term for the president and vice presi-
dent, the abolition Of nominating con
ventions and the choice Of president
and vice president by presidential
preference primaries and direct cleo
tions without the use Of electors.
Mr.. Britten said, on leaving the
White House. that the president fav-
ored the abolition Of national conyen-
tions for nominating purposes, but
thought them necessary to draft party
platforms, and declared that Mr.. VII
son approved presidential primaries
and direct election1 which would
shorten the ballot.
On the six-year proposition Mr.
Britten said the president refrained
from comment.
White House officials stated that
the president had not arrived at any
conclusion as to the practicability Of
abolishing national conventions, but
had always favored nomination By
