GREAT POWERS
NAY INTERVENE

FEAR CHOLERA EPIDEMIC
Diplomatic Representatives at Bel.
grade, Athens and Sofia Instructed
to Urge Warning Countries to
Agree to Cessation of Hostilitles.

London, July la movement on
the part OF the great powers Of Eu-
rope to bring Bulgaria, Greece and
Servia to terms Is believed to be in
the air. Owing to the great slaugh.
ter there is believed to be great
danger of a cholera epidemic.
II was understood that the powers
had instructed their ministers In Bel
grade. Athens and Sofia to urge a
cessation of hostilities. II the note
reported to have been sent out by
Car Ferdinand to cease operations
was advanced to sound European ser
timent II seems TO have brought
results.
One report declares that King Con
stantine of Greece invited Car Ferd.
inand to a conference to discuss the
alleged claims OF atrocities commit
ted by the Bulgarians.
One account was by a Greek who
escaped. He had, he said, been thrown
into prison after his companions had
been bayoneted. He also said oil
was poured Owe a number Of wound
ed and then set on fire.
Much significance Is attached to the
fact that the Bulgarian minister had
reported to st. Petersburg that Gear
Ferdinand had ordered the with
drawal of the Bulgarian line. II had
previously been stated that Gar
Ferdinand was about to take the field
IN person.

ASKS SUPREME
COURT RULING
Appeals Court Will Not Settle
Midwest Case; Rights Of
the President Involved
Associated Press.

Denver, Sept. 30.-The United
States court of appeals will ask the
supreme court for ruling on the
question OF the right of the president
of the United States to withdraw
public lands from entry. This an
nouncement was made by Presiding
Judge Hook because of the important
issues involved. The point win de-
termine the ownership of valuable oil
lands in Wyoming and California.
Special Assistant Attorney General
Denman says that the action of the
court of appeals in certifying the is
sue to the supreme court is highly
satisfactory to the government, as it
will bring a final settlement of the
case a year sooner than was expect
ed.
1t is estimated that total of more
than 100000 acres of California oil
lands entered have been withdrawn
under the order of President Taft in
1909 and the withdrawal act of con-
gress in 1910. The Midwest and
other companies claim that these en-
tries were valid and the presidents
act Illegal. The government con-
tends that the president acted with
authority, especially as the with
drawal was based upon the national
need of oil for naval fuel.
