today, officers from thes district at

to death They were Weitzmann, his
wife, daughter, the latter's husband
and two farm hands. It is the belief
OF the local police that one OF the

mitted suicide.
The dead in addition to Weftzmann
and his wife are: David Ktgner, 2S:
Mrs. Beatrice Kigner and the two
farm hands, apparently Polish. Weitz-
mann was milk dealer. A customer
in the neighborhood who had received
no milk since Tuesday, went to the
Weitzma ann home in an effort to earn
what the trouble was. Approaching
the house, he noticed no one seemed
to be about and peered in one of the
front windows. In the front room, he
saw the body Of Weitzmann. The
frightened customer then ran back 9
mile to the nearest telephone and
notified the police and district attoE

ATHENS, Nov. 81. Turkish
troops are to defend the Bulgarian
Black sea coast against Russian
landing.
Ottoman transports are reported
on their way tonight from CONSTANT
nople to Varna with strong forces of
tho suitan's soldiers. Escorting them
are three submarines and the cruis-
ers Goeben and Breslau, once Of the
kaiser's navy, but now Turkish.
varna and Zuroas are the only Bull.
gar ports accessible to the Russians.
The former is the closer by forty
miles to the Russian frontier and 1t
is there a Muscovite descent by sea
ls most likely.
Tho Journey from constantinopIe
could be made by rail, but the route
is roundabout. BY sea the voyage is
about 12o miles. Greek experts agree
that a Russian landing in the face Of
strona coast defenses, a powerful
shore force, 4 mined harbor, several
active submarines and two up-to-date
cruisers, offtcered and probably
manned by well trained Germans,
will be extremely hazardous.
What steps are being taken to re-
sjst a Russian invasion of Bulgaria
by land, across Roumania is not
known definitely. It 10 believed the
Turks Will figure heavily in this
quarter too, II they are needed. Great
quantities Of German arms have
