CENTRAL POWERS
ARE WORRIED BY
TURK OBST|NACY
Ottoman Empire Insists Upon Return
of Adrianople From the
Bulgarians.

ROME, April 23-Advices re,
ceived in this city indicate that seri-
Gus trouble of an internal character
is brewing in the inner circles of
the Central powers.
The trouble has resulted from de-
mands which have been made by
Turkey and Bulgaria, each nation
having insisted upon territorial con-
cessions not planned by the kaiser.
The Turks demand that Adrianople
be taken from Bulgaria, to establish
territorial equilibrium in the Bal
kans. Bulgaria claims all of Dob
rudja and the annexation of Bessa-
rabia
The obstinacy of these two ma
lions is said to be causing the kaiser
much anxiety.

lines state that the practice of
granting leave to the soldiers was
to be resumed after the first of May
indicating that the enemy antici-
pates a suspension of offensive
operations early next month.
1t is apparent from preparations
being made, however, that the Ger
mans are geatting ready for re-
sumption of hostilities on a large
scale and the Allies are preparing
accordingly. 1t is the belief of
Allied generals that the coming
week will witness two great turn
ing movements, one at Robecq and
the other at Mesnil, to the north OF
Albert, the purpose of the move
ment being to cut deep into the
Allied lines where they project into
German-held territory.

RAILROAD MONEY
NOT ENDANGERED:
RIGGS BELIEVES
New Governor of Territory Says
There Is No Indication of
Retrenchment.

SEATTLE, April 23.-In answer
to a question relative to the con-
tinuation of railroad construction in
Alaska and the availability of funds
for that purpose, Governor Thos.
Riggs Jr. stated today that there
were no indications to justify the
belief that congress would cut down
the Alaska railroad appropriation.
The only handicap under which
the commission may be compelled
to continue work this year, he said,
is possible shortage of labor.
Speaking of his plans, Mr.. Riggs
said that he intended to make a
tour of the Northern country during
the coming summer, for the purpose
of learning the needs of the various
districts. He is already we'll ac-
quainted with large section of
Alaska, but there are certain dis
tricts which he has never visited.
Governor Riggs will be the guest
at an Arctic club luncheon today
and tomorrow morning he will leave
for Juneau, having advanced his
sailing date from Friady.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %.
During discussion of the Mooney
case in the senate today, Senator
Phelan, of California, expressed the
belief that Mooney was influenced
by German money to throw the bomb
which caused the death of several
persons during the preparedness
parade at San Francisco. He de-
clared that the protest that Mooney
had been the victim of big business
was absolutely without foundation.
He predicted that the condemned
man would get new trial.
Senator Jones, also of California,
declared that he believes Mooney
capable of the offense charged
against him, but it should be re-
membered, he pointed out, that the
testimony upon which Mooney had
been convicted has since been re-
pudiated ..:. ~.
Senator Poindexter expressed the
conviction that Mooney had com
mitted the crime and should be pun
