est government has decided 10 enter the
war ON the allies side for the purpose
of enlarging Roumania S territory at
Hungary's expense.
Other circumstances seem to bear out
this conclusion. The Roumanian ma
tional legislature will convene Satur-
day and probably it will call on the
cabinet to outline its intentions def
nitely. The Roumanian people strongly
favor war, being influence by imperi
alstic conditions. The government,
therefore, is not risking its popularity
by aligning the cNntry with the allies.
Probably it has held back so long on
ly to negotiate terms. Roumana wants
all il can get if the allies win. IL is
likely that its maximum demand would
he the annexation Of the Hungarian
provinces Of Pennsylvania any Bukoy-
mia.
There is pressing need to rescue the
Sewians from the Austrian inHadefs.
Because of this, the Roumanans are in
a better position now to drive good
bargain than they were earlier in the
war, when the Servians were invading
Bosnia.
What the terms are doubtless will
not be known until the war is over, but
If Russia has been permitted to trans
port troops up the Danube, there is lit
tie question that Roumania has been

BILLY MURRAY
DEFEATED SAILOR

ray Of Sacramento defeated Sailor Ed
Petroskey in the second round of a
scheduled 20-round bout in the Pavil
ion rink here this afternoon. Murray
battered the former tar into a helpless
state, and Referee Toby Irwin stopped
the unequal combat and awarded the
decision to Murray.
Petrosley was two pounds over the
prescribed weight when the boxers
weighed in and Manager Jack Kearns
claimed Petroskey's $3.50 weight for
felt.
The fopr round preliminary between
Soldier Wood and Willie Purtell was
declared draw.
Two other scheduled preliminaries
were cancelled on account of the small
attendance, the rink not being more

The opening wedge Of what promises
to be thorough investigation into the

These are among the many most i'm

brought TO the attention Of the commits
sion in the past, upon complaint OF pa
irons of the system, and they win be
followed by hearings upon other phases
of the cOmpany's dealings with the pub
lie, such as telephone rental rates, long

and short term contracts, two of the
subjects for Fridays hearing, involve

to charge fee ($5 usually for discon.
Meeting phone from a private office OF
residence when the instrument has not
been in service for one year from the
date Of signing the contract. This Gus
tom on the part of the company has
been the cause Of much complaint be-
fore the commission, and, since there
has been no court decision to cite as a
precedent or determine the rights Of
the company in the premises to make
such charge for disconnecting a

passing upon this issue win be an event
of no little Importance from the view
