BOPP CLAIMS MAIL
HAS BEEN OPENED
Authorities Say 1t Is a Hop
Dream and Indignantly
Deny Charge

San Francisco, Lee. 11.-AuthOrities
angrily denied today charges by Ger.
man Consul Bopp that his mail had
been tampered with. Postmaster Fay
answered the charge vita the declara-
tion that Bopp's claim was only a
surmise, with no justification" "
According to Bopp, who termed the
alleged tampering an outrage, he found
one letter had been opened, resealed,
and then delivered to the attorney for
Baron Won Brincken, alleged consulate
assistant, charged with being a bomb
plotter.
Bopp's theory was that all the mail
for persons concerned with the conspir.
acy charges had been taken before one
official and unsealed Then when il
came to distribution, the letter for him
had been mixed up with the mail for
Brincken 8 attorney instead Of being
sent to the consulate.
First indictments in the alleged
bomb conspiracy are expected Monday
There was some talk today that Mrs
Margaret Cornell, arrested as witness
may be charged with contempt of court
for talking about grand jury proceed
ings.
Meantime, Bopp professed himself
displeased at the United States district
attorney Prston for the latter s alleged
intmations concerning Bopp and hi'
cohorts.

Fighting in Serbia.

Athens, Dec. 1.-THE French con.
tjnue their retreat in southern Serbia.
Dispatches from the Greek frontier
reported this today, though they did not
mention the allies evacuation of Ser
bia. These messages claimed the Bri-
tish, fighting for their lives, in the
lower part of Serbia, were reinforced
Thursday night, and maintained their
positions in the face Of heavy attacks
yesterday. Further British retireme'
however, was admitted to be newt
able.
The struggle between Bulgars and
French yesterday was particularly vio-
lent. With the aid Of fresh artillery
the Bulgars finally occupied most OF
the French positions, though the
French inflicted upon them heavy
losses.
Florina reports said that the hostile
commanders had agreed upon u neu.
tral zone on the Greek frontier near.
by and had instructed troops neither
to occupy or fire into the neutral ter
Titory.
Many of the central powers wound
cd men have reached Monastir.
The allies are retiring behind the
Rabrovo-Valandovo line, according tC
the Sofia official statement. The Bul
garian premier was quoted as declar
ing that the central powers have l.,
O00,000 men at the disposal for the
Balkan campaign.

Stock Market Strong
Due to Good Business

Copyright 1915 by the New York
Evening Post.)
New YORK, Dec. ll.-Prices on the
stock exchange steadied today from
those prevailing at the opening. The
two hour session was mostly marked by
irregular recovery. Some railway shares
advanced from half to two points
and there were few sharp advances
in industrials Most Of the move
ment seemed to be from repurchases
made bv professionals who sold yester-
day. The market, as whole, however,
was not active. There was prevalent
a feeling of uncertainty over the for
eign situation.
A high pressure Of business activity
throughout the country was the uni
form testimony reaching the street
Bank clearings again broke records,
and railway gross earnings for the
first week of ecember were in near
ly every case above those Of the pre-
vious week.

the British embargo against American
commerce.
With Germany, there was an appar-
ent deadlock over the negotiations aris-
ing from the torpedoing Of the Lusi-
tania with loss of American lives.
The silence of Vienna in the face of
sharp American demands for action
seemed aminous. On every side was
the question, "does Austria intend to
disregard Americas firm request and
force break2'' The outlook in most
quarters seemed none too optimistic.
AS for Germany, however, the situa-
tion was less tense. Her accession,
without contest, to American demands
for recall of Attaches Won Papen and
Boy.ed of the German embassy cleared
the diplomatic atmosphere in that di-
rection at least
Congress to Try Probe.
The state department planned to
start action ON the request of Germany
that England be asked for a safe con
duct for the pair. AS to what course
this government will pursue toward
safe conducts, asked for their success
ors, there seemed some doubt. On this
point, however, no friction was antici'
pated. >
With the foreign situation tangled
the administration today hoped mem
bers Of congress would "put on the soft
pedal" in their arraignment of for.
eign nations. Senators Hoke Smith and
Walsh, however, apparently intend to
keep after England, because of her
treatment of shipments of cotton and
copper In which the men are interest
ed. Moreover, Senator Lodges resolu,
ton to probe submarine incidents and
bomb plots tends to complicate the
situation still further, and there is nc
assurance that many other members
will not take hand in discussions and
resolutions that do the situation no good
from diplomatic standpoint.

mysterious fire in her after hold drove
the 3,740 ton sugar laden British
freighter Tyinghame back into port to-
day with her crew fighting the flames
and heavy smoke blanketing her.
The fire was found when the vessel
was only few miles out of port on
her way to Queenstown. A harbor
fireboat rushed to her aid and poured
great streams upon her.
While the origin of the fire is a mys-
terry, it is believed to be incendiary,
probably the work of anti-ally agents.
Twenty minutes after she passed the
Narrows and headed out to sea, Of

operator cracked out the news that she
