Fergus Attorney Claims Dunne Had no
Right to Clip Appropriations In
Omnibus Bill.

Springfield, Ill, Aug. In complet-

on the consututionaIity of the S15,o00,-
600 omnibus" bill. passed by the last
legislature Fayette s. Munro of High
land Park. representing john B. Fer
gus, the complainant tax payer, de-
cIared Governor Dunno exceeded his
powers in vetoing parts OF separate
items IN the contested bill
Legislative power, under the con
stitutiou Of the state. rests solely upon
the legislative department. said Mr..
Munro. Where the governor struck
out the word annum' or changed a
two thousand dollar item to read 'one
thousand dollars I maintain that he
nulided the entire item
The total Of the reductions in the
item in the Omnibus" bill made by
Governor Dunno was $185.350. This
was the amount the governor intended
to save the state. The total OF the
original items changed by the gov
ernor was S531. 400. This is the amount
Mr.. Munroe contends was automatic
ally vetoed il the court should sua-
tain Nr Munro on this point, accord
ing to number Of state officials, a
special session of the legislature would
be imperative in order to continue the
business Of the various departments.
Assistant Attorney General Roy took
up the first part of the argument for
the state. but was interrupted by the
adjournment for luncheon.
Munro devoted a large part Of his
argument on the omnibus bill to an
effort to prove his contention that
under the classification of officials of
Illinois should be listed employees OF
the state grain commission, the pure
food inspection service, the optometry
board and employees Of various other
state officers. If they are officials Mr
Munro contends they should be paid
from separate special appropriations.
The states attorney contends the
men listed are merely workers, not
officials Of the state.

British observers, a real menace to the
forces of Grand Duke Nicholas.
An Indication Of the extent of the
German progress in the Baltic pro

Brief on Mexican Situation
Is Filed With Secre-
tary Of State.
TO CONFER WITH FOES
Formal Promise Is Made
That He Is Now Willing
to Talk Peace Terms.

Washington. D. c., Aug. 7.-On be-
half Of General Carrauza, a formal
brief on the Mexican situation was
filed with Secretary Lansing today,
practically asking for political Tecog-
milton and proposing that CaTrauza' s
Washington agents meet any of the
other factions in a peace conference.
The brief submitted by Charles A.
Douglas, General Carranza's American
consul, sets forth the formal sugges-
ton Of a peace conference in the fol
Iowin glauguage:
we have IN Washington MIR Are
dondo, in the capacity Of g special rep
resentative of the constiutionalist
government. and at this time, Mr.. Ca
brera. a member OF Mr.. Carrauza's S cab
met, is here. They are men OF fine abiI-
fty and excellent character, and are
anxious to serve their country in the
highest and best sense. Either or both
OF them. / am assured, viii be glad to
confer with any element of the Mexj-
can people, with q view to furthering
the common interest, the peace and the
welfare Of the nation
Oppose Elevation Of TagIe.
The proposal to restore the cousu-
tutIoual succession to the presidency
where it was broken by the death Of
MadeTo by elevating Fasquez TagIe, a
member of the Madero cabinet. 10 the
Office provisional president, the
brief says, would defeat the aims of the
revolution.
THE plan Of the constitutionalists. -
SAYS the brief, "and it is now well un-
der way, is to make the principles Of
the revolution effective as were meas
ures by military decrees during the
unconstitutional period, and then
to haxe the congress ratify them
translate them into law
It is argued that TagIe is neither
impartial nor fitted for the Office and
that his recognition could only ba
based on the theory OF cabinet success,
sion. His qualification would instantly
and automatically restore The cousti-
tuition.
IF the constitution is in this man
uer restored says General Carranza' s
brief. 1t would effectively prevent the
putting into effect of the principles OF
the constitution as war measures by
military DEGREES, because these things
can only be done in the way indicated
and during the constitutional
period. The plans, purposes and prin-
cipIes of the revolution would there
fore become ineffective, dead, and the
revolution would be as If it had never
been conceived, and Mexico would he
as Mexico was before, except for the
loss of life, destruction Of property.
and the paralysis of business. It would
indeed. be d short cut route to com
pIete victory for the enemies of the
revolution
Wouli Undo Revolutions Work.
The argument contends there has
been no member Of the Madero cabi.
net since Pedro Lascurian, who could
legally assume the Office.

moment" the brief continues. that

Bulgaria Names Price.
In the negotiations which have been

ruple entente with Bulgaria in an ef-
fort to induce her 10 enter the war
on their side. she has insistentIy de
manded that she be ceded that part
of Macedonia which was awarded to
Serbia at the close OF the Balkan wars.
She also has sought to obtain at least
a portion Of the Macedonian territory
which came under the Greek flag in
the same way.
Macedonia was a Turkish province
until the close of the Balkan war. The
region embraces a medley of peoples,
the chief elements being SIays. 0s-
malls and Greeks. The SIavs are Bull
garians and Serbs.
Entente Statesmen Active.
The statement attributed to NJ Gau-
maris is significant in view of the fact
that the British. French, Russian and
Italian ministers at Athens called on
him Wednesday and made ursated rep
reservations regarding the political
situation. Their purpose was to gain
the assistance Of Greece.
Similar representations were made
yesterday by the representatives OF
the same nations at Nish TO the seEb-
ian premier. This was regarded as
the second step in the attempt to
bring about a Balkan agreement SO
that Bulgaria, Rumania and Greece
may be numbered among the allies.
