BulgarS Burn Town
and Massacre Women

Salon ~ April 3 (delayed).-At 3 a.
N. yesterday about 500 Bulgarian conf
tadjis attacked the Serbian fort guard
ing the bridge over the Vardar, between
Valandovo and Demirkapu, near
Strnomitza.
The Serbians were outnumbered at
first. and lost seven officers and seventy
men killed Three field guns, too, were
captured by the Bulgarians. Rein
forcoments, however. came up from the
north and south, and the Serblans re-
gained two of the guns.
The Bulgarians then retreated, burn
ing Nalandovo as they left, but their
attempt to destroy the bridge there
failed Instead of recrossing the from
tier, however, the Bulgarian irregulars
descended upon Dorian, in Greece. The
situation of that town rs one OF dan
ger. and the Greeks have sent impor-
tant rcinforcements TO the frontier, TO
be ready for all eventualities.
The comitadiis burned villages and
massacrcd both aged men and women
and children. Serbian soldiers who
picked up the wounded were mutt
lated. and it is reported, buried alive.
The Serbians have fortified Demirkapu
with machine guns and field guns.

RAMSAY DEFENDS
u. S. PROHIBITION
Replies TO Sir Thomas Dewar,
and Says Liquor Ban
Is Successful.

London, April An an article IN
"The Chronicle" Sir W. VI. Ramsay
takes exception to the statement, made
few days ago by Sir Thomas Dewar
that his examination of American pro
hibition had led him to believe it was
an absolute failure
Ramsay says: when any one says
that prohibition in America has been
an absolute failure am bound to meet
his statement with an absolute denial
THAT the abolition Of drink is not
perfect. and cannot be made complete,
is quite true. could tell plenty OF
stories about blind tigers and other
ways Of eyading prohibition, but the
fact remains that evasion proves the
law, and the law is binding on the vast
majority Of citizens.

have seen. is that prohibition is prac-
tically beneficial | have lived for

MANY CLAIMS AGAINST COUNTY
One Hundred and Eighteen Inmates
From This County are Cared for in
the Different Asylums in the State
and Bill Is Record One.

Kenosha's bill for the care of her
dependent insane this year is going to
be big drain on the county treasurer.
County Clerk Jones yesterday after
noon received from the secretary of
state the annual bills for the care of
Kenosha people in the various county
and state institutions and the total of
this bill is $11,123.65. OF course of
this amount the county will get some
rebate in board of inmates paid by
their relatives, but this amount will be
decidedly small and the great proper
tion of the burden will fall upon the
shoulders of the general fund of the
county.
The number of insane patients cared
for by the county has grown materially
during the past year and the report
from the state board of control shows
that this county has at the present
time lis inmates in the various insti-
buttons for the insane in the state. Up
at Racine alone the county has total
of 81 patients and Kenosha county
will pay to Racine county this year
the sum of $5,16350. This is in addi-
ton to the part that is paid by the
state for the maintenance of these
patients. Up at the state hospital at
Mendoza the county has a total of Al
patients and the county's share of the
bill for their care during the past year
is $2,704.54. Kenosha county has had
larger number at Mendoza this year
than ever before. The majority of
these patients will be transferred to
other asylums in the state within the
next few months and the large mum
Der at Mendoza indicates that the bill
of the county for care of the insane
will be larger in another year.
1t had been the desire of the county
board to segregate the Kenosha county
insane, as much as possible, with a
view of having practically all of them
cared for at the Racine county asylum.
However, the number has advanced so
rapidly that the Racine county institu-
tion is no longer able to care for all
of them and they are being sent into
other counties. The bill of the Wal
worth county asylum at Elkhorn is
notably larger this year and the re-
port shows total of Is Kenosha
county patients in that asylum. 1t is
probable that this number will be con

"sEvEN KEYS TO BALPATE. )
Next Sundays Attraction at the Rhode
Opera House.
mot a NOVEL

(Not a Movie)
Geo. M. Cohan S latest play "Seven
Keys to Balpate, which is to be pre-
! sented at the Rhode Opera House next
Sunday, matinee and night, is melo-
drama Intentionally gone wrong to the
point of side-splitting burlesque under
the gravest of masks that remains IN
lifted until just before the last cur
tain falls.
Geo. M. lCohan, that astonishing YER
satile and always supremely self
confident incarnation of Broadway in
its most wagering mood, made this
play from the Earl Derr Bigger IS
novel of the same name.
The languidly venturesome plot of
Seven Keys to BaldpateH fools au-
diences to the top of its bent through
out about nine-tenths of the time re-
quired for the acting Of the piece. At
the opening of the story one learns
that the imaginatively fertile William
Hallowell Magee has made a bet of
$4,000 with the owner Of Baldpate Inn,
summer hotel, that he can write a
best seller novel within a period
of twelve hours time from the mo-
ment his fiction grinding machine makes
it first click on the work.
To give away any more of the unique
plot would be unfair to the author and
distinct loss to the imaginative
minds of his prospective audiences.
It is sufficient to say that the hero
wins the $4,000 bet, but in it's accom-
plishment he is confronted with an ac-
compartment of weird happenings that
lift the piece out of the conventional
and keeps its onlookers at a point of
high tension through every minute of
the enactment of the piece. advdw
