BULGAR ATROCITIES TOLD
Europe Pleaded with to Leave
Adrianople to Turks.

London. Aug. 22.-One Of the most
chastity tragedies in the Balkan war IS
being made known by the revelation OF
the dreadful atrocities which. it is now
beyond doubt, were committed 10y the
Bulgarian troops after their capture Of
Adrianople The lurid story is told by
deputation Of Turks. Greeks ana
Jews OF AdrianopIe which arrived in
London after visiting other capitals 10
plead that Adrianople and Thrace be
not handed back TO the Bulgarians.
II is declared by the depu:ation that
more than two hundred thousand non
combatants. including thousands OF
women and children, were mutilated
and massacred in Thrace. 1t IL not de-
MED that horrible excesses were com
mitted by armies Of all the being
erents. but there appears 10 be no par
allel for the crimes Of the Bulgarian
soldiery.
The report comes from CONSTANT
nople that the Sublime Porte has been
informed through diplomatic channels
that the powers have decided mat
Adrianople shall remain Turkish and
that direct negotiations will be begun
forthwith between Turkey and Bull
gariG. This report is not confirmed
and according 10 Vienna advices the
powers are still seeking 20 arrive at an
agreement. and plan TO threaten Tur-
key with financial starvation in the
event Of her refusal to respect the
treaty Of London by retiring behind
the Enos- Midia line.
The Bucharest correspondent Of The
Daily Mall reports serious revolts
among the disbanded Bulgarian troops
when they learned Of the terms of the
peace treaty. Sangulnary encounters
between the troops and police oc-
CURED on Thursday at Narna and the

REVOLT" IN VENEZUELA
A PLANT BY GOMEZ
indications Now Are That He
Manufactured an Occasion to
Declare Himself Dictator.
so AS TO STAY PRESIDENT
Period of Dictatorship Will
Thus Divide His Two Terms,
Which by Law May Not
Be Consecutive.

The nature Of the dispatches from
Venezuela received in New York and
Washington within the last few DAYS
raises the question whether there has in
reality been any rebel movement OF the
kind so deliberately described in messages
from Caracas. \ message from the COM
Dandcr OF the American cruiser Des
NioiDes states that the uprising has
been exaggerated and that 1t is about
finished
II is confirmed. too. that Cipriano Cas-
ITO has not yet set foot in Venezuela. and
last night. too. Secretary Bryan received
from the American Minister at Caracas
q message stating that the Venezuelan
government has published an official bull
letin declaring that the Castro revolu-
ton" is at an end and that prisoners are
being taken from Coro to Caracas.
President Juan Vicente Gomez Of
Venezuela It would seem. has been or
fciauy creating the impression that a
great armed movement led by General
Cipriano Castro was In hand To fur
Their this impression the President mobil-
lied an army Of seven thousand. placed
himself in person al its head and caused
II 70 remain for about two weeks at
Maracay without a thing to do.
4 cable dispatch Yesterday from Gu
racao explains the situation and confirms
the explanation Of the situation which ap-
reared iu The Tribune Of August Q This
message said that the concentration Of
the army Will probably result in proiong-
Ing the suspension Of the constitution
over the coming Presidential election pc
Rod. and would have the effect Of contin-
uine President Gomez in Office for another
term OF four years.
But still bearing in mind the official
message from the commander OF the Des
Moines and the action Of President Gomez
on August in assuming dictatorial pow
ers. it is seen that the latter has been
beating the drum for a purpose. That
purpose was 10 override the provision Of
the Venezuelan Constitution against two
consecutive Presidential terms. The only
way In which this can be accomplished
is 5v following the example shown
ny Castro himself when in Office. :. O.. by
suspending the national laws and remain
ing. not President. but dictator until the
time FOR the election has passed. when
the President may again assume his Office
without the Formally Of an election
Lending further confirmation hereto is
the announcement that the government
will maintain strong show Of force
fo~eseeing a revolutionary attack by Gen
eral Jose Manuel Hernandez. leader OF
the Nationalist party, and other eXiles.'
II was General Hernandez who predicted
that President Gomez would seek 20 per
r.tuate himself IN Office The general
who is now in this city. was not ready
10 discuss his plans yesterday. His only
comment was. My destiny is in he
hands OF my compatriots.

RESIDENT ELIIorT's CHANGE

The new president of the New Haven company, who is to have enlarged powers, speaks fairly He has at least verbal of his public responsibility His an guage in taking office shows this Mr. Mellen dicated such feeling of duty to the public matter of mere language.
 MT Elliott the president, invites criticism. He will get it without invitation but his asking for 1t shows
 imagination and the purpose to inquire into the of the criticism.
 What he does will depend largely what the board of directors of which he is to be chairman permits him do. That what MT. MeIlen did
 Up to this moment, the directors of the New Haven have bicy shown that they know what all the tro- ble is about.
 Their public theory is that they the victims of agitators politicians although they have for years controlled about all the politicians necticut who have any power
 Their public theory is that they much abused who have embarked upon useful work, and who have been grossly misunderstood.
 To the verdicts of Investigating tribunals authorized by state Federal aws they have opposed uniform contnacOusness and the attitude of spoiled children, caught with fingers in the jam
 But the president of the New Haven will soon ascertain if he has not already that these directors criticised because they have managed the property trusted to their charge that the value the hands of stockholders has been halved.
 They have managed matters that millions of dol lars have been issued in the form of securities upon which the New is attempting to take dividends from the public, without any actual investment to give moral rant to the taking.
 The reductions in working force, the impairment of service and the multiplication of disaster Mr. Elliott will ascertain from abundant official reports.
 He will also ascertain that the New Haven company has of it's chief officers office in the state capitol and that from this office this officer has taken undue part in the conduct of legislation in this state.
 He will learn that one of the fcers of the lew

How Big Is Bridgeport? She's Running New Haven Strong For First Place
 And Leaving Hartford Far Behind

How big is Bridgeport not in land, not in manufac- tures not money but in terms of human beings Every ten years the United States takes count of heads and this count establishes officially the size of American cities, until the next count is taken.
 Once year directory is printed in Bridgeport, and 1t is the custom to make guess at population the clue afforded It is pretty good method and works out with rough The method is simple Take the Der of in the directory published in the census Divide them into the population shown by the census Take the number of names m the drector th year and multiply by the dividend before obtained
 Another method uses the same procedure taking the figures of school enumeration
 Some persons prefer to take one-tenth of the per cetage of growth during the last decennial period and increase the population by that ratio for each that has succeeded. ngs and multiply by the last average of persons a dwelling kind will be- especially after due allowances for certain variations have been made
 The conclusion from the application of these methods in Bridgeport is that the present population of the city is the neighborhood 1l3OOO That the population in 1910 will be between 145,OOO and 150OO0.
 Something may during the next seven years to swell the estimated figure but has not occurred yet
 Bridgeport is Connecticut's second city
 What will it be in 192O9
 Nothing is beyond conjecture not the color of Cleopatra eyes, nor the shape Mark Anthony nose
 Predictions herewith they lay bets on ponies
 Hartford had in 1910 population of 98915 sou1s representing gain of 239 per cent for the decenal riod
 Applying the same ratio of gain Hartford will have 122,357 in 1920
 New Haven had 3a6o5 with ratio of 237 perce which shows 165,3 ,369 in 1920.
 Waterbury had 73 141 but her percentage of growth 5e.5 per cent, which predicts 116959 in 192oS
 Then, gentlemen lay your bets as follows: Rank as now: New Haven first, Bridgeport second, Hartford third Waterbury fourth, with Waterbury pressing Hart ford close for second place and Bridgeport running close for first.
 But the odds will be modified by the reflection that Bridgeport for 40 years has been consistent per- former. Her ten year growth percentage has below 437 and it gone as high 76 per cent Hart ford has dropped as low as 13 per cent.
