BULGARIA SENDS
THREAT TO SERV|A
Must Evacuate Certain Terri
tory or Fight.

Vienna, June 20.-The Bulgarian
government has formally demanded
that Servia Immediately evacuate all
Balkan territory indisputably Bulgari'
an. If Servia does not comply with
this demand within one week Bul.
garia will occupy the territory forci-
bly, with troops.
It was learned from an authorita-
tive source here that Bulgaria's de-
mand, based on the treaty existing be-
tween that country and Servia before
the war with Turkey, amounts to an
ultimatum and unless Servia CON-
plies there is grave danger of war.
Bulgaria and Servia, with Greece,
agreed to let Russia arbitrate their
differences over disputed territory,
but Bulgaria holds that Servia now oc.
cupies certain Bulgarian ground about
which there can be no dispute.

in Minnesota Rate cases.

AT . conference with the nsmbsrl

Of the railroads affected by the de
cision of the United States supreme
court in the famous Minnesota rate
case agreed to put into effect, as soon
as possible, the state rates declared
valid by the supreme court.
These include the 2.cent passenger
rate, the merchandise freight sched.
ule, tested from Nov. Is, 1906, until
the Sanborn decision July l, 1911, and
the commodity freight rate enacted
by the legislature but never put into
effect because of the Injunction pro-
ceedings.
Those attending the meeting were

neys Donnelly of the Northern Pacific,
Sheehan of the Chicago, st. Paul, Min

ference lasted for more than two

There were other railroad men there,
but their names could not be learned,
as they evaded scrutiny by going out

BY the terms of the agreement the
railroads will make no further contest
in the matter of establishing the state
rates. Refunds due to shippers for
