LONDON. November 5.-The all
night meeting of the Greek chamber.
the new attack by former Premier
Venizelos on the governments policy
and his criticism of King Constan-
tines interference with the constitu-
tional liberties of the Greek people
are recent stages in the new political
crisis which has overshadowed the
Balkan situation.
According to latest information
from Athens the king is expected
to continue the Zaimis cabinet and
dissolve parliament rather than accept
the alternative of permitting. Veni-
zezlos to return to power. Constantine
is said to be in thorough sympathy
with the conduct before the cham
Der of General Yanakitas, war minis
ter, whose remarks brought on the
crisis. He has demonstrated his ap-
probation of the minister's force by
appointing him an ade de camp.
In view of the large range of pos
s'bilities and the difficulty of pre-
dieting with any certainty any def
mite unraveling of the snarl London,
is not indulging in premature opti-
mism over the Zaimis' cabinet de-
feat. 1t is disposed to await further
developments.
The Bulgarian invaders are report
ed to have reached a point six miles
northeast of lNish, Serbia, and to have
advanced from the east and south
east almost as near The Germans on
the north Serbian front are not so
fortunate but are slowly pressing
back their opponents.
The promised assistance for the
Serbians is now materialiZing, ac-
cording to Saloniki advices Two di-

the French at Strumitza.
German and Austrian official re-
ports make it clear that they are now
occupied chiefly with defending them
selves against Russian attacks. EX-
cept for counter attacks their own
initiative apparently has been spent.
Particularly fierce Russian attacks
are reported along the Dvina and
Stripa.

Opinion is Divided.

PARIS, November 5.-While agree
ing that the Greek crisis is serious
opinion here is divided as to the prob
able consequences.
Jean Hersette, whose opinions in
international politics usually are
sound, points out that one hundred
and forty-seven deputies who turned
out the government, thus voting for
intervention, represent the majority
Of the Greek people.
Among those supporting the cabi-
net are several of uncertain nation
a1itv from newly acquired provinces,
he declares.
The majority knows that if Greece
does not attack Bulgarian soon she is
committing suicide.
The Journal takes a gloomy view.
It says that the events of yesterday
presage a dissolution of parliament,

Guards On Duty Both Day and
Night While Norwegian
Ships Load
NO CONTRARAND ALLOWED
Although Both of the Barks Are
Taking on Rosin, Which is
Considered Contraband, a
Close Watch is Maintained.

The British government is keeping
very close watch on the two Nor
wegian barks which are in port at
present taking on naval stores, and,
though rosin is considered contraband,
still ii is understood that the British
government has put four men on duty
to keep watch day and night to see
that no "contraband Of war" is loaded
on either of the barks.
These two vessels, the Kalleena and
the Titania, arrived in port early in
the week and they are now moOred
near the foot Of Gloucester street,
where they are being loaded with ros-
in. Ever since the arrival OF the
barks i'll port special men have been
employed TO keep close watch on
the two boats and at present four are
engaged in the work one man on
each of the barks both night and day,
and they are stationed there for the
specific purpose of reporting to the
British consul anything loaded on the
vessels which looks suspicious and
which may be a contraband of war.
This is done, it is presumed by the
British government to prevent any
munitions of war being carried by
these barks into Norway, from which
country they could be easily shipped
to Germany, but the vessels would
have to run the risk of seizure by
English warships in the voyage across
with the munitions. For that reason
it is hardly believed that they would
take the risk Of carrying war mater
ials.
However, as rosin has been declared
a contraband of war, it seems strange
that guards should be placed on duty
to Hrevent "any contraband' from
being loaded aboard the barls, when
they are both here for an article
which has long ago been declared
contraband.

TRENTON. N j., Dec. S.-"Please
don't! Please don't!" begged Edgar G
Murphy, of Riverside, n. j., as two keep
ers strapped him into the electric chair
in the State Penitentiary here last night
and witnesses braced themselves to see
Murphy pay the penalty for the murder
of Herman Fisher, Of Riverside, whom he
was convicted Of killing with a shotgun
in July, 1914.
Murphy's last plea for his life was the
feeble, pitiable cry OF man who had tried
through attorneys, his family and friends
to avert that fate that awaited him after
a Jury brought in the verdict OF convic-
ton last December. It was weaker than
ali previous appeals. A moment after ne
had delivered 1t the State electrician
threw switch and 1850 volts shot
through his body.
Though Mrs. Hudson d. Hullings, Muir
phys sister, who tried yesterday to per-
suade Governor Fielder to grant a re-
prieve, declared UP to the last moment
that her brother was insane. his demeanor
in the last three minutes Of life failed to
bear out her assertion.
Two keepers and the Rev. Andrew T.
Taylor, chaplain of the penltentlary, went
to Murphy's cell few moments before
S:i5, the hour set for the execution. Muir
ply reused from his cot as he saw them
at the door.
When they opened the door he shrank
back against the rear wall
you got no right to take me out OF
here and 1 got no right TO 60" he cried.
The keepers, though. rushed in and
seized his arms. AS soon as Murphy saw
he was powerless his manner changed
and he walked, resisting only weakly,
through the little barred space that faces
the side of the death chair in the execu-
ton chamber of the isolated concrete
house beside the penitentiary.
They pulled him toward the chair and
he slipped into Il. Doctor Taylor walked
before him. then took his place at one
side as the keepers bent over about the
stras. As they adjusted the cap to his
close-shaven head, Murphy spoke for the
first time.
