New RumOrS Floating Around
State House Today.
"A DISGRACE" GOV. CAPPER
Describes "Milking of Corpora
tiOns" i'm Bankruptcy.
Restitution Is Demanded by
States Chief Executive.

State departments are this afternoon
investigating the fee question as af-
fecting Justice John S. Dawson's as
sociations with the Kansas Natural
Gas company cases. Not until late to-
day or perhaps tomorrow will S. M.
Brewster, attorney general, file an
opinion with Governor Capper con-
corning the legal phase of the case.
In the meantime the question of fees
and expenses in connection with the
case is being investigated.
At the state house today, it was re-
ported that Dawson had at one time
been paid $4,000 under provisions of
state law allowing the attorney gen.
eral special fees in trust cases. There
is no record of this payment, however,
in the files of the case in possession of
the attorney general. One of the ap-
parent features of the case, however,
is the fact that Dawson received as
attorney for the gas company state re-
ceiverS, a check for $S,325, or exactly
$4,000 less than was paid to both Ches-
ter 1. Long and O. p. Ergenbright, as
sociateS in the case.

Innsbruck, Austria, says in the recent
fighting along the section of eastern
front from the Pisa river to Ostrov,
northeast of Warsaw, the Germans

patch says. have continued for five
days, and the Germans have occupied
the northern POI ton of the defenses
of the surrounding fortress. The
Russian garrison depends mainly on
bayonet charges, as artillery ammuni-
ton is lacking.
North of the Lublin-Chelm railroad
the battle continues to the advantage
of the Austrians and Germans.
In the region of Nova Alexandria,
on the Vistula, south of Ivangorod, the
Russians are offering fierce resist
ance, inflicting heavy losses on their
opponents.

BY HENRY WOOD.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug. 9.-(Via Ber-
lin. Aug. 10.)-Bulgaria will send her
armies marching against Constanti-
nOple in twenty-four hours if Serbia
will cede Serbian Macedonia to her.
v Razoslavoff. prime minister to
Bulgaria, ana the man who more
than a year ago today held the desti-
MES of Europe in his hand, made
this frank statement to me today. In
an exclusive interview granted the
United Press, the Bulgarian premier
for the first time gave to the world
exactly what Bulgaria demands in the
present negotiations, what she wants
from the AuStrO-GermanS for remain
ing neutral, and what she asks from
the allies for driving the Turks from
Europe, an operation that probably
would prove the turning point in the
war for the allies. Of equal impor-
tance was his reply to the report cir
culated in European capitals that Bull
garia, having won Constantinople,
would demand the Ottoman capital as
her prize.
Constantinople Not Wanted.
THAT fear IS groundless," he said
with emphasis. THE natural CONNER
cia1 and political responsibilities at
taching to the city occupying the geo.
graphical position of Constantinople
are too great for a nation that must
always remain small, like Bulgaria
I'VE will fight for but one end.
That is to extend our frontiers until
they embrace the peoples of our own
blood, but that end must be guaran-
teed to us beyond all doubt. If we
are asked to fight alone, we are ready.
If we are asked to fight with Greece,
Serbia, ard ROumania in a new Bal
kan alliance, on the side of the allies,
our willingness remains the same. To
the allies we say: Give us Serbian
Macedonia and we will fight in the
way we can serve ycu best.
RazoslavOff is the storm center of
the greatest diplomatic swirl the world
has ever seen. Because Bulgaria
hoIdx the key to the world war, the
diplomatic agents of every great pow
er involved swarm here, their pressure
centering upon him.
Bulgaria Fully Prepared.
But Bulgaria is fully prepared and
waiting to enter the war the minute
she receives absolute guarantee that
by so doing she can attain that for
which every nation already engaged

Washington, Aug. 1O.-Se-
rious anti-foreign demonstra-
tions reported today to the
Washington government from
Vera Cruz gave state and navy
department officials consider
able concern, particularly in
view of the Pan-American con-
ference to be resumed in New
York tomorrow to devise means
for restoring peace in Mexico.
Advices from Commander
McNamee at Vera Cruz depict
ing a threatening situation led
to a conference between Secre-
tary Lansing, Rear Admiral
Benson, acting secretary of the
navy, and Leon J. Canova, chief
of the division of Mexican af-
fairs.
Commander McNamee's re-
port had at first been regarded
as alarming enough to warrant
sending naval reinforcements to
Vera Cruz and preliminary or
ders have been given to the bat
tleships Louisiana and N e w
Hampshire at Newport, to make
ready.
Anti-fOreign demonstrations
in Vera Cruz were the subject
of a long cablegram received at
the navy department today from
Commander McNamee. Act
ing Secretary Benson said the
dispatch told of speeches being
made in front of public build
ingS and on street corners in an
effort to incite the people
against all foreigners, especially
Americans.
Washington Is Cautious.
Deliberation on the situation, how
ever, resulted in the determination to
await further reports before dispatch
ing any battleship, there being a gem
uine desire on the part of administra-
tiOn officials to do nothing to stir up
feeling that might be embarrassing to
the Pan-American confereeS. An order
was sent, however, directing the gun
boat Marietta to proceed at once from
ProgresO to Vera Cruz, a distance of
about $50 miles. Rear Admiral Ben
son explained that the Marietta might
be utilized to convey the Brazilian and
Guatemalan minister in Mexico to New
Orleans.
Commander McNamee reported that
natives have made incendiary speeches
in the streets of Vera Cruz against
Americans and other foreigners and
that there had been numerous endeav-
ors to incite uprisings, although no
overt act has yet been committed.
Lansing Goes to New York.
Secretary Lansing will leave for New
York tonight to resume deliberations
with Lat1n-American diplomats to-
morrow. The secretary would not dis
cuss the situation, asserting that he
had talked considerably yesterday

rial government is unable to admit
that American citizens can protect an
enemy ship through the mere fact of
their presence on board.
Germany merely followed Eng
lands example when she declared
part of the high seas an area of war.
Consequently, accidents suffered by
neutrals on enemy ships in this area
of war cannot we'll be judged differ
emily from accidents to which neutrals
are at all times exposed at the seat
of war on land when they betake
themselves into dangerous localities
in spite of previous warnings.
"If, however, it should not be posi-
BILE for the American government to
acquire an adequate number of neu-
trail passenger steamers, the imperial
government is prepared to interpose
no objections to the placing under
the American flag, by the American
government, of four enemy passenger
steamers for passenger traffic between
North America and England.
Assurances of free and safe passage
for American passenger steamers
would then extend to apply under the
identical pro-conditions to these for
merly hostile passenger steamers.
"The president of the United States
has declared his readiness, in way
deserving of thanks, to communicate
and suggest proposals to the govern

reference to the alteration of maritime

offices of the president and hopes that
his efforts in the present case, as we'll

Of the freedom of the seas, will lead
to an understanding.

knowledge of the American govern

tunity to renew to his excellency the
assurance of his most distinguished
consideration. Won JAGOW."
