Washington, July 23--The Unitei
States will sign the treaties with
Bulgaria and Turkey, it was an
rounced today at the state depart
ment,
Although the United States has
rever been actually at war with Bull
gSria and Turkey, it will sign the
treaties to show its concurrence in
the terms imposed upon these allies
OF Germany and Austria. Like those
with the Teutonic powers, the treat
les change boundary lines and create
new nations, some of which, par
ticularIy Armenia, probably will ask
that the United States act as man
'datory for them until the league of
nations covenant.
The announcement today was the
first that the United States wou:1
be a party to the treaties. A dis
patch last night from Paris said
Premier Venizelos Of Greece has
President Wilson asking
whether the United States would
sign. Greece is particularly inter
e,ted in the disposition OF Western
Thrace, which it desires to take
away from Bulgaria. The American
delegates at Paris were said to be

cess to the Aegean sea.

DlcTAcRAPHs PLACED
IN FickERT's OFFICE

Evidence, the report said, was Sc
cured by use OF dictagraphs placed in
the office OF Charles M. Fickert, dis
trict attorney OF San Francisco.
Mr.. Densmore's objections to the
trial, as enumerated in his report, in
cludesthe following:
The apparent failure Of the district
attorneys office to conduct a real in
vestigation at the scene of the crime;
the easy ~adaptability of some of the
star Witnesses; the irregular methods
pursued by the prosecution in identi-
Tying persons and to prove essential
matters of fact in case of grave evil
dence. The seeming inefficiency of
a wen established alibi; the sang froid
with which the prosecution occasion
ally adopted an untenable theory and
then changed to another not quite so
preposterous, and the refusal OF the
public prosecutor to call witnesses
who actually saw the falling Of the
bomb.
In short, at the general flimsiness
and improbability OF the testimony
adduced together with a total alb
sence Of anything that looks like a
genuine effort to arrive at the facts
in the case
The reading Of the testimony in
this case is apt to cause one to won
der at many things. These things
calculated to cause in the minds of
the most blase a decided mental re-
bellion.'
The action OF District Attorney
Fickert in asking for a new trial after
the testimony Of Frank G. Oman was
proved a perjury, and then refusing
to agree to II, was attacked in the re-
port.
There were excellent grounds for
the belief said the report, that the
prosecuting attorneys sudden change
OF attitude was prompted by ennis
from some of the corporate in
terests most bitterly opposed to union
labor. Fickert's efforts h~enceforth
were directed at a clumsy attempt to
Whitewash Oman and justify his
own motives and conduct throughout

ton as to activities of the department
