Especial Dispatch to The CalD
CHICO. Jan. .30.-The biggest sensa-
tion that has been created in Butte
county for many a day was turned
loose today, when Harry Fraser, the
manager and promoter of the Fraser
Hop company, with Offices in this city
and San Francisco, was charged in a
complaint filed in the superior court
by his two partners. Frank Paul and
p M. Rooney, with misappropriating
funds and receipts of the concern
amounting to more than $4,000 to his
own use.
The papers in suit for an account
ing were filed today and the partners
ask that a receiver be appointed pend
ing an investigation into and settle
ment of the affair. 1t is said that
Fraser has spent more than the amount
stated in the complaint through high
living.
During the last two months an ex-
pert accountant has been employed to
work on the books of the hop company.
1t had been limited that something
was wrong. but no one suspected that
Fraser was to be the man exposed. He
is considered one of the best experts
in the hop industry in California, and
he and his company nave interests in
Sacramento, Mendocino. Sonoma and
Butte counties.
Fraser recently wentHo Santa Rosa
and established an Office and expected
to devote his attention to that end. He
is said to be in Chico, but all efforts
to find him have been fruitless.
1t is said this evening that one of the
Chico national banks loaned him $4,000
on an unsecured note. and that insti-
tuition may lose that amount

Another Portola festival!

Another Portola festival.
Another week of historic ponip and
pageantry, with mirth and folly min
listers to the laughter and song of the
populace. The revivifica ton of the old.
glad. mad days OF October, 1909. with
the world again paying tribute to the
Queen City Of the Pacific.
One can almost live anew those hap
py times in the announcement that the
festival is to be repeated this year on
even a more magnificent scale than
the one in memory.
The proclamation has already gone
forth from the king of mirth, and from
the busy atmosphere of committee
rooms. there has come the decision that
the same big spirited band OF men who
made San francisco the passing play
ground Of the world in 1909 will once
again provide festival that will bring
to these shores the inhabitants of the
seven seas
DISCOVERY OF PACIFIC
Very appropriately the festival will
commemorate the four hundredth ami
versary Of the discovery Of the Padfic
ocean by vasco Nunez de Balboa. Don
Gaspar de Portola. the first governor OF
California and the first of the old world
to look on the rolling sand dunes of San
Francisco, will not be forgotten. The
festival will bear his name, at all
the march as the principal figure in the
first festival given by the downtown
merchants.
In the latter part of September, 1913,
Balboa reached the waters of the gulf
of San Miguel. The commemoration. of
the historic pageant. The festival will
move step backward from 1859. when
Portola overlooked the city to the scene
of that greater event enacted where
Uncle Sam is now completing the Pan
anna canal.
PLANS WELL IN HAND
The committee in charge of the fes-
tiva1 has been at work for several
weeks but hesitated to make a def
mite announcement until it had its plans
well in hand. Having had the exper-
fence of the 1909 show and having
been engaged constantly with the
affairs of the universal exposition of
1915, they were able to attack the
project squarely for definite, speedy
results. The project is already well
enough along to make it advisable to
state that in the fourth week of Octo-
Der, San Francisco will again witness
four days of frivolity.
The details of the program have not
been worked out. Commissioners will
have to be appointed to visit the states
of the nation, the counties of the state
and plenipotentiaries to call upon the
governments of the old world. The
festival will not interfere with the ex-
position, but will add to its fame. by
giving the visitors a foretaste of the
great things that lie in store for them
in 1915.
1t has already been determined that

Second Act Very Near
LONDON. Jan. sO.-The curtain may
rise on the second act of the Balkan
war next Monday. The allies denounced
! the arnistfce at o'clock tonight. and
II events take the prescribed course
the bombardment of Adrianople will fol-
low after an interval of four days. In
fact, it has been scheduled for o'clock
Monday evening
Yet even at this eleventh hour war in
no wise is assured. Only few hours
before the allies proclaimed their mo-
mentous decision the Ottoman govern
ment presented its reply to the joint
note of the powers of January II.
Never has a diplomatic problem
taken such swift and surprising
changes as these negotiations for
peace. The young Turks who seized
the government with shouts of defiance
have undergone a marvellous transfor-
nation. Instead of drawing the bat
tie line at the question of surrender
ing Adrianople, they offer a COM
promise which comes so near meeting
the Bulgarian demands that a settle
ment should not be impossible and
they leave the Aegean islands to the
disposition of the powers.
COMPROMISE NOW POSSIBLE
The difference between what Con-
stantinople is ready to give and what
Bulgaria is willing to accept, has been
reduced to such small proportions that
even some of the Balkan delegates be-
lieve compromise may yet be found.
Constantinople now asks simply the
retention of that section of Adrianople
where the holy shrines are situated.
Bulgaria always meant to leave the
mosques and shrines to Turkey and
even 10 confer the right of extra terri
toriality, this giving them something
OF the status of the Vatican in Rome.
The vital differences between the
two nations amount merely to Turkeys
demanding the shrines and the sec
fapns surrounding them.
The Thracean frontier line, there
fore, with the exception OF the town
of Adrianople. practically has been
agreed to.
SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT
Doctor Daneff, head of the Bulgarian
delegation. said with reference to Tur-
keys reply:
1T is not of a character to form the
basis for fresh negotiations
This, however, simply is a public
statement, possibly for the purpose of
exercising further pressure on Con-
stantinople. majority of the allies
apparently trust that a compromise
viii be reached.
All the powers have urged the allies
to do their utmost to prevent the re-
sumption OF hostilities because of the
grave complications that otherwise
might arise. Whatever happens, the

NJ. Navakovitch, head of the Servian
delegation, has arranged to go home
