NEW YORK, May 1S.-Results of
an exhaustive investigation into the
conditions in the Balkans during and
following the wars of 1912 and 1913,
with view to clarifying public opin-
ion, which has been baffied by con-
fiicting reports and befogged by un-
authentic detail were made public to-
night by the Balkan commission of
inquiry of the Carnegie endowment
for international peace.
The list Of horrors compiled from
the statements of eyewitnesses for
whose reliability the commission
youches, is at times more startling
than the unsupported rumors which
were formerly received with incredul-
ity
Our document" says the report,
gives particulars, village by village,
of the Moslems who were killed and
robbed. Our experience shows that
lists of this kind in the Balkans are
usually accurate. In the villages all
these excuses seem to have been the
work of local Greek bands. The most
active of these bands was led by a
priest and warlike grocer who was
member of the bishops council
The Turks, indeed, accused the bish.
op of directing all these atrocities
One band, under a certain Doncheff
notorious guerilla chief. was said
to have burned 345 Turkish houses
in one day, shut up the men in
mosques and burned them alive OF
shot them as they attempted to es
cape. A volunteer of the Macedonian
/ legion, who convinced the commission
of his reliability, Stated that while
marching through Gumuljina he saw
among fifty murdered Bulgarian peas
ants, the dead body of a woman
hanging from a tree and anothe
with a young baby on the grouni
with their eyes gouged out.
"The case against the Bulgarian
which remains after a critical exam
nation of the evidence is sufficient.
grave. In each case the Bulgarian
acted under provocation and in eacl
case the accusation is greatly exag
gerated, but their reprisals were non
the less lawless and unmeasured."
The commissions judgment on re
ported excuses committed by tn
Greeks among the Bulgarian peasar
try was founded on vivid narrative
told by eyewitnesses for whose vel
acity the commission holds itself re
sponsible.

The owner of the garden employs an
old fashioned colored gardener to water
and to watch it. and he said to the
Rambler: Mrs. Sampson knows all these
flowers and likes them so well that she
won't let me cut the grass for fear OF
hurting them And the grass ni'h Ilot

of the plants in their tender spring
growth.
There is one flower in this ground of
old-fashioned plants which may become
new-fashioned if the efforts of its ad-
nlirers are successful, and that is the
columbine, which has been suggested as
the national flower by the Columbine AS
sociation, whose single aim is to bring
about the final adoption of the coiumolne

Rrvan was a member of Congress he was
often a guest of the Bryants at indian
Spring and made a Fourth of july ora

came to Bryant. decay set in or the In

The spring called Indian spring, is one
of the freest flowing in the region around
Washington A frame house has been
erected over it. and the spring, Whlch IS
walled up is big enough to form oathlhg

Back in the seventies there lived near
Burnt Mills an old resident by the name

he was a boy he had heard tradition
that there had been a mill fire there.

WHEN the late Senator Bob" Taylor
w was Governor of Tennessee he re-
ceived letter from an inmate Of the
Missouri penitentiary. stating that his
name was TAYLOR and that he was related
to the governor. on account of which re-
lationship he begged Gov. Bob to use his
good offices with the Governor of Mis-
souri, to procure him a pardon.
To Gov. Francis OF Missouri Gov. Bob
at once addressed the following letter:
Dear Gov Francis: There's a fellow
over In your penitentiary who writes me
that his name is Taylor and says he's
some kin to me, and, on the strength OF
this, wants me to ask you for pardon.
If you can see your way clear to help the

and he got the idea that a city could be
built there.
He acted on the idea suhdirided the
farm, sold lots. and now a city with IN
artesian water supply piped from a cen-
tral reservoir. a sewer system and a
modern sewage disposal plant. bank

grown up along and back from Hickock's
fishing shore.
The Potomac fishing seasons of ls75 and
1876 We're comparative failures. and IN
The Star Of Saturday, June Il, 1876, there
appeared a letter in which the writer
said that the river had been .overtished.
and in which he deplored the reckless
waste of the fishermen and urged arii-
fetal propagation of fish to restore the
Potomac's supply. The letter, which was
a long one, was headed The disastrous
Fishing Season-Iiow the Fishing Busi-
ness May BE Restored to Its Former
Prosperity"
The letter was prefaced and introduced
to the attention of the readers Of The
Star in this way: Our Intelligent cor
respondent Northern Neck. whose con-
trbutions to The Star are always read
with so much interest sends the follow
ing upon a subject of great Importance
to all in this part Of the country" Then
the letter, which is dated simply. king
George County. Virginia" and signed
Northern Neck" proceeds:
Editor Star: The fishing season Just
closed has been more disastrous to the
seine fishermen than last years. and
the repetition Of the same ill-luck anoth-
er year will sweep the long seines out
of the river. 1t is to be regretted that
so important an industry should be pros
trated by too eager pursuit but II IS
not the first time that the goose has
been killed in too great greediness after
the golden eggs. To say that the river
is overfished hardly expresses the TRUTH
it is understocked.
Mature only replenishes her own
waste and when man draws upon her
treasures he must deposit In return or
have his drafts dishonored. The farmer
or gardener expects to return to the
soil liberally for his takinSs from II.
or soon to have only barren acres; ana
the fishermen will in time learn that
out artificially increasing the supply ~
fish they will land only empty seines.
This artificial propagation has been 50
long practiced that its results can y" as
confidently counted on as the planting
of corn or cotton. and few thousands
of dollars in the hands of man skilled
in the business would soon supply every
reasonable demand.
Northern Neck proceeded TO dea!
with the subject of fish propagation at
considerable length. Ii is interesting 10
read that as early 1879 and 1876 the
lessening of the output of the Potomac
fisheries was attracting serious notice.
and the same question is a disturbing
one today. thirty-eight years later.
