GREATEST OF ROSE GARDENS
District 80 Miles Long and 30 Miles
Wide Devoted to the Ancient In
dustry in Bulgaria.

Uncle Sans consul general at Sofia.
Bulgaria, gives some interesting infor-
nation regarding the Rose valley" of
Bulgaria, where the rose thrives as in
no other spot in the world. Here is
carried on the most ancient and attrac-
tive industry 0f the Bulgarians--the
cultivation Of the rose from which is
distilled the essence "Attar of Rose"
Bulgaria's rose fields are on the south
ern slopes of the Balkan mountains,
the rose district being so miles in
length, 80 miles in width, with an aver
age height above sea level of 1900
feet.
Several conditions are essential for
the cultivation of the rose and the
production of the altar: The soil must
be easily permeable to water; the
bushes must be protected from the
cold north winds of the winter; there
must be no excess of unreasonable
rain and no early and excessive
droughts. These conditions all exist in
the Rose valley" After Bulgaria at
tanned its independence from Turkey
in 1873, the Ottoman government at
tempted to establish the rose industry
in Asia Minor, many acres of gardens
being planted around Brousss. where
roses grew in abundance, but upon dis
tillation these roses produced practical
ly none of the altar.
In Bulgaria but two varieties of
roses are cultivated, the red, "Rosa
Damascena," and the white, "Rosa
Alba" which are combined in the
process of distillation; but the red
rose, which resembles the French
Rosa du Roi," is richer in perfume
and essence than the white. In the
Rose valley, where there are some 90
900 acres of gardens, the atmosphere
of the entire district is charged with
perfume when the roses are in bloom.
The roses, gathered by women and
girls, are carried to the nearby distil-
lery, spread out in cool, cemented
chambers, and distilled the same day.
The gathering continues from daybreak
until 10 or IL o'clock, or, if the day is
cloudy, for an hour or two longer
roses gathered in a hot sun have
comparatively feeble odor and yield but
little essence.

CONGRESS TO KEEP
WILSON OFF STUMP
President to Stay In Washington
Despite Any Political Attack.
lFrom The rribune Bureau

Washington, July 31.-However holly
Charles f. Hughes may attack the
Administration and its policies in the
opening stages Of the Republican cam
paign, President Wilson will lot sban-
don his purpose 10 remain In Wash
ington as long as Congress is in ses-
sion. This assertion Is made by Vance
Mccormick, chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, who spent
the early afternoon at the White
House to-day discussing campaign mat
tiers with President Wilson.
The impression has prevailed in some
quarters here that if Mr.. Hughes waxed
particularly severe tonight in his
speech OF acceptance in New York the
President might feel called upon to
take up the fight Immediately. Mr..
Mccormick indicated that it was still
the purpose TO defer the Democratic
notification ceremonies until Congress
adjourns.
Strong pressure is being brought TO
bear on the President 20 take the
stump by Democratic members Of the
House and Senate who are up for re-
election and are getting disturbing
news from home. Senator Atlee Pom
creme. Of Ohio, called at the White
House to-day and urged the President
to address the Democratic State Con-
ventlon at Columbus, Ohio. during the
last week in August. The President
promised to consider the invitation.

SAYS GRAFT TRAIL
LEADS TOCAPTAIN
Prosecutors Aid Investi-
gates "Disorderly Hotel
Combination"

For the first time since the revela-
tions of grating among members Of
:he white slave" detective squad were
discovered, insinuations were made
yesterday By Assistant District At
torney James f. Smith, in charge of
the investigation, against a policeman.
As n result OF the examination OF
several new witnesses yesterday Mr.
Smith said he was confident he had
discovered n new trail leading to a
detective captain.
He refused TO particularize. but it
was learned that the source of the
new-found graft is believed TO lie in
the so-called "disorderly hotel combi-
nation" against which District Attorney
Swami announced. several months ago,
he had started vigorous campaign.
Assistant District Attorney Smith
now believes he has traced the protec

Evidence against other detectives is
in shape for the grand jury and Will
probably be presented to-day. At least
one indictment charging bribery or ex-

Fifteen witnesses were examined yes

for the presentation Of the case before

SPECIAL SESSION
WORRIESLEADERS
The Republican Executive
Committee in Row Over
AppOrtionment Tangle.

The executive committee of the Re
yesterday TO organize for the cam
paign, started Oft with. two-snd half
hour row over the question of a special
session of the Legislature. Most of the
upstate Republicans want the lawmak-
ers called back to Albany to remedy
the defects IN the reapportionment act
discovered by the Court of Appeals.
Governor Whitman is opposed to spe-
cial session. because, he says. of the
expense involved.

lowed to stand until the Legislature
meets next January, at least one Of the
Governors friends will be enabled 10

tom ent he would find this very diff

toga. 1t is also said that some of the
Governors friends in Broome County
90 not want a special session.
To dispose Of the Governors fears as
TO the expense and length of special
session, Senator Elon K. Brown,
majority leader of the Senate, sent
word 10 the committee that he would
guarantee that the law makers would
not take more than twenty-four hours
to complete their work if called TO
comply with the decision of the Court
Of Appeals. The only place affected is
New York City, and these defects in
the law can be remedied in a short
time.
The fight in the committee was
warm. the upstate members. including
Mr. Ward Of Westchester, insisting
that a special session was necessary
because of the work already done by
prospective candidates. In most Of the
districts, upstate petitions have been
sent out, based on the new apportion-
mont All this work will go for naught
unless the Legislature steps in.
Senator Sage, of Albany. was the
most vigorous advocate of a special

while the Legislature is Republican.
He does not believe in taking chances.

The advisability IF an unofficial con-

against it, because OF the present in

definite decision as TO special ses-

Justice Hughes would say about them
tonight in his speech Of acceptance in
New York, the Presidents campaign
managers have already begun to CON
slider changing their plans.
Vance Mccormick, chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee. took
luncheon with President Wilson ut the
White House to-day, and il is under
stood that the time of the Democratic
notification was again under discussion.
As II is not likely that Congress will

In postponing the notification origi-
rally. the President indicated that
events might cause him to reconsider
his decision and begin the campaign
before adjournment. Whether he will
do this. it is believed here. will depend
upon the effect Of Hughcs's speech on
the country.
The first Democratic distress signal
and call for aid from the President in a
state which party managers have been
counting on as certain came to-day
when Senator Atlee Pomerene. of Ohio.
called at the White House. He urged
President Wilson to attend the Demo-

Oho's political conditions have been
worrying Democratic leaders. The
primaries take place August 4. II the
Democrats lose the state, they lose not
only the electoral vote but a seat in the
Senate as well.
Senator Pomerene is n candidate TO
succeed himself and is likely to be
nominated. despite the opposition OF
x-Representative John J. Lent. The
Republican candidate is expected TO be
ex-Ambasssdor Myron T. Herrick, who
is extremely popular in Ohio.
Ohio is a normally Republican state,
Democrats admit that, but they believe
that Governor Willis's administration
has helped their chances. Secretary
Bakers appointment and Judge Clarke's
nomination to the Supreme Court bench
are expected TO count in the Republican
district OF Cleveland. although Repub-
Leans say this has been more than Off
set by the Democratic detection in Gin
cinnati and the southern parts of the
state. The Republicans also assert
that practically all Of the Progressives
are back in the ranks and, headed by
James r. Garfield. n former Roosevelt

Democrats realize the hard problem
they are confronted with in Ohio, and it
would not surprise many if the Presi-
dent accepted Senator Pomerene's invi-
tation and invaded the state.
