to make a plea for leniency in the
case. Judge Bouck took the matter
of the suspension of the sentence I'M
der advisement. In the case of Au-
gust Gruba, also a Day county man,
who pleaded guilty to the unlawful
selling of liquor, Judge Bouck. in
consideration of the fact that Gruba

GREC|AN KING TO

tBy United Press Leased wIre)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
Athens, Nov. b.--Thongh parlIa-
ment has expressed It's disapproyal
Of the neutrality advocates and has
forced the resignation Of the zaimis
cabinet. King Constantine today
seemed bent on defying the venizeios
war party.
Both the press and politicians be-
lieve the king viii dissolve parlia-
ment and force anosher5 election. In
stead OF again putting into power
former Premier venizelos. The re-
suit would be that Zaimis. though he
has resigned. would hold over for at
least two months. while an election
was being held. Thus Greece would
remain neutral. in keeping with the
kings policy.
venizelos and his pro-war sup
porters will resent q dissolution
move. Six months ago such move
would have been perfectly proper.
they admitted. because then there
had been no expression Of popular
opinion. Now. however. the nation
is on record as in favor OF war.
through having elected pro-war
chamber OF deputies with venizelos
at Its head more than a month since.
Previous TO that election. they said,
Constantine would have been entitled
to the belief that the people prefer
red peace. venizelos' election, how
ever, showed how the nation felt. say
the war advocates.
Zaimis appointment after veni-
zelos' second retirement likewise was
proper. but now the crown has NO
right to disagree again on the same
question. venizelos has said.
II is believed here that King Con-
stantine Will precipitate an extreme
ly grave crisis should he still resist
the pro-war party.
In approval of General Yanitki's
defiance as war minister of the pro-
war party In parliament. which pre-
cipitated the cabinet crisis, Constan-
tine has appointed him his aide de
camp.

Seattle. Nov. 5.--George Roberts,
As years old. plumber, living at
4237 Lucille street, at five o'clock
this morning killed two members Of
his family and fatally wounded two
others and then shot himself through
the arm.
Believed to have been affected by
morbid dependency, Roberts first
crushed his wife's head with a hand
ak as she was lying In bed. He then
stepped into an adjoining room and
struck his 16-year-old son, George,
on the head with the same instru-
ment. His oldest child. Ella, 30
years old, who was blind. attracted
by the noise. was cropping her way
in the hallway downstairs when her
father started from the floor above,
and dropping the ak he seized a re-
volver and shot the girl, though she
is still alive.
Another daughter, Villa. II years
old, was struck by bullet and was
mortally wounded. Roberts next
went back to his room. His wife was
still alive and he again attacked her
with the ak. He then turned his
pistol on himself.
Mrs. Roberts, the son and younger
daughter were alive when the police
reached the scene, They were re-
moved to the city hospital, but Mrs
Roberts died within a few minutes
The other two are not expected to
live. "

ployment and he grew more despon-
dent every day. TO o neighbor, Rob-

Two Divisions Of English
Soldiers En- Route to Bul-

Athens. Nov. 1.-Two divisions OF
British troops are en- route from
Saioniki to Bulgaria. This means q
group OF 10000 to resist the advance
OF the Toutons across TO Constanti-
nople.
Other forces are entraining.
BY q short overland movement
they can enter Bulgaria near strum-

can reach the eastern border near

OF Xanthi. Inasmuch as the French
are already operating about Strum-
nitxa. It Is deemed more likely the
British will 30 to that section.
II Is believed the plan Is to divert
the Bnlgarians from serbia by for
midable invasion. At the same time
IL Is surmised that the allies have ar
ranged TO have the Russians strike
the Bnlgarians from the north. This
10 seemingly borne out by news that
Ronmanla has refused the German
request to intern two Russian tor
pedo boats In the Danube. This at
titude on the part Of a nation already
designated as pro-ally, is assigned as
permission to the Russians to cross
Roumania, because by 150-mile
journey up the Danube the Russians
can land in Bulgaria. It is thought
they will lose no time In taking ad-
vantage OF this situation.
