 Attacking

LONDON, Sept. 21. - With bad weather interrupting the strenuous action on the entire Western front, the Rumanian-Macedonian theatres of war remain the centers of interest in the dispatches today. It is indi- cated that the heaviest fighting is in progress there.

 The Bulgars are throwing up strong entrenchments but their work Is hampered by the advancing Ser bians who are harrassing the ene- my's rear guard. For two days there has been furious fighting in the vicinity of Dobrudja but the action was reported to be at standstill today

Jurymen Excused Today but VIII Be Charge of the BaiIiff
 Hereafter.

 The work Of securing the jury was started last Saturday morning at ten o'clock and was finished this afternoon at three In all, ninety nine men were examined as to their fitness to serve on the jury before twelve men, impartial and knowing nothing about the case who were acceptable to both sides, had been secured.
 After the jury had been sworn in Judge Jennings stated to the jury men that if any of them had busis ness to attend to they had better do so this afternoon. He also told them that he would not order them locked up under the care of the baniff this afternoon, but that there was every indication that an order Co that effect would be issued to- morrow morning. and that they would be required to remain within the charge of the bailifr during the course of the trial.
 Iu securing the Jury the defense used all of their 20 peremptory challenges. while the prosecution used but seven of theirs. waiying the right to three The jury as fi- naliy chosen consists of S. Zenger Louis Karsten, Harry Mathews, C.. w Speer. Thomas O'Neill, Charles sella, James Fitzgerald, Walter Johnson. A. P. Sipes. Norman Worth, John Peterson. and C. P. Osterberg ST.
 Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock the work of taking tho testimony in the case will be started and from that moment Kazis Kraczunas will be fighting battle royal for the life of his client. The officers for the prosecution seem confident of their ability to convict Krause with the evidence they have been able to se- cure. What line the defense will take is not known. In former cases Krause has always failed to produce any evidence in his own defense and has never even made a statement from the stand. It is not known whether he will take the stand in this case. or introduce any evidence in his own behalf or not.

LOngshoremen Make a Plea with the Gen. traI Labor Coun-
 oil for Action.
WOULD TIE UP SHIPPING
Conferences to Be Held to Make Decision in a Few Days; Opinion
 Is Divided

SEATTLE, Sept. 2i. - A sympa- thetie strike Of all labor unions in Seattle and vicinity 10 aid the long shoremeu in securing a settlement Of their troubles in now contemplated. This information leaked out from the labor headquarters at the Labor Temple at Sixth and University Street when the various heads Of the labor unions were called into a conference at noon today.
 The upshos Of the entire matter was finally left in the hands Of the Central Labor Council which will con- sider the appeal of the lonsshore- men. lt is very possible that a meeting Of the Central Labor coun- ell officials will be called for to- night to discuss all phases Of the request.
 The IoneshOremen's strike has been in rrosress fer two months. The government sent two special representatives here from Washing. ton and after trying 10 adjust mat ters, about three weeks ago these officials announced that a settle ment was in sight.
 The longshoremen at that time agreed to arbitration but when the representatives Of the striking organi- ration went into conference with the Federal labor commissioners they practically demanded that ev- cry point at issue be conceded by the steamship managers and the managers Of the various docks.
 The Federal commissioners im- mediately informed the lonsshore- men that this was not arbitration, but nevertheless set out to try and bring the trouble to a climax.
 The wharf managers and others interested agreed to many many concessions but not ali This was communicated to the lonsshoremen but the latter declined to give in one bit.
 On Monday the Federal cOmmis- siouers abandoned the attempt to do anything further and publicly stated that they were through.
 The ionsshe-emen then made its appeal for a sympathetic strike.
 The teamsters' Union is not in sympathy with the new plan and others closely associated with the Ionsshoremen are about evenly di- vided. A quick canvas will be talk en but it is not expected that any thing will be done for several days.

PARIS, Sept. 21.-A revolution on the Greek island of Crete is report. ed today in dispatches from Athens and King Constantine has been turned down as ruler of the people on account of his dilatOry tactics in the present European war.
 The revolutionists are reported to have turned out every Greek official not in accord with their move. ment and have set up and pro- claimed provisional government.
 Revolutionary outbreaks are re- ported also in various sections of Greece especially since the entrance of Rumania into the war.

All of these movements resulted in agitation in favor Of the participation of Greece in the war.

Ample Grounds for Contest

Orlando Reporter Star: 1t is re-
ported that Ion l.. Farris will contest
the vote for governor in the recent
primary. While the wisdom of MAX
inr a contest may be questioned there
is little doubt that ample grounds for
contest might he found Mr.. Farris
and his campaign manager have re-
turned to Jacksonville from visit
to Tampa, where, it is alleged, they
discovered irregularities upon which
to base contest proceedings. There
is nothing startling or strange in this.
We have not the slightest doubt that
the law was technically violated in
every county in Florida, and this of
itself is cause enough for any dis
satisfied candidate to contest the
vote. 1t is likely that first and sec
ond choice votes were improperly re.
corded in many precincts. Other If
regularities were probably numerous
due to misunderstanding the law and
to the long count in the large pre-
cincts.
1t is not apparent that Mr.. Farris
has anything to gain by making a
contest, but he will probably render
the state a service if he does. There
can be little doubt now that the pri-
mary law will be repealed, or so
amended that it will be impossible for
a minority candidate to win. Tram
nell is a minority governor through
the failure of his highest opponent to
enter second primary. In this
case, Milton, who was that candidate
did not consult the rights of the peo-
pie but rather his own comfort by
handing the nomination to Trammell
on a platter after the first primary
1t is apparent that Milton failed tc
do that which his duty to the public
demanded in not running the race out
and giving the people who had voted
against Trammell in the first instance
an opportunity to register a seconC
choice. 1t is evident that the people
