BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News

SOFIA, Bulgaria, February 21.-The
meeting Of the allied supreme council
in. London has increased the restless.
ness in the Balkans. The Bulgarian
people are aroused because their conn
try has not been invited to Join the
new discussion of questions so vital
to it's interests, Two grea. mass
meetings have been held here to de-
mand that Bulgaria be given access tn
the Aegean sea.
To make the situation more acute
the Serbian newspapers recently have
begun to speak Of the necessity NJ
Jugoslavia obtaining the port of Ss
loniki and including in it's own POM.
lation the Macedonian Slavs now
under Greek rule. One of the Rel.
grade newspapers says:
'If the entente fails to aid Greeca in
Asia Minor Greece may also lose her
Balkan territories in favor of Turkaw
Bulgaria and eventually Serbia. In
such an event our interests wouId
compel US to assure Saloniki for orr
selves.
There is movement both in Serbia
and Bulgaria for a mutual agreement
and compromise on the basis of Jugo-
slavia eventually obtaining the Sa-
loniki littoral and Bulgaria getting
the Kavalla and Dedeagatch coast.
This plan may be realized IL the
agrarian party in Jugoslavia brings

MEMPHIS Tenn. February 21.-H.
Diggs Nolen, one of six men under in
dictment in connection with the al
legged wholesale marketing here of lib
erty bonds stolen in a Brooklyn rob-
berry last November. was shot and
probably fatally wounded early today
in a scuffi. with his wife, Mrs. Ethel
WXckoff Nolen. for possession of a
pistol Mrs NQlen surrendered.
Nolep's condition was described as
critical es, 5.
The shooting occurred at a drug
store operated by Nolen. According
10 a statement credited to Mrs. Nolen
the pistol was drawn by Nolen during
an argument which followed Nolen's
return from an automobile ride. Mrs.
Nolen was waiting his return. she
said, to effect reconciliation after a
quarrel of several days ago. When
the weapon was drawn she grappled
with her husband and it was dis
charged, the bullet striking No1en in
the abdomen.
Mrs. Nolen was arrested recently
on warrant charging her with re-
ceiving stolen property. the same
charge made against Nolen in con-
nection with the disposal here of
bonds alleged to have been stolen
from a brokers' messenger in Brook
lyn, but that charge was ignored by
the grand jury. which returned in
others last week. Instead. an indict-
Jnent charging the attempted brib-
cry of policeman was returned
against her.

for the attorney generalship under
the coming administration was made
here today by President-elect Hard
ing.
The President elect made known MS
selection after a conference with Mr..
Daugherty, and although there was
no formal announcement of accept
ance, the general understanding was
that the appointment was as gooo as
settled.
No statement was issued in con-
nection with the announcement, ana
Mr.. Harding would add no comment
further than to say that he was con-
WINGED that Mr.. Daugherty Woulo
make great Attorney General.
When his attention was called OF
recent newspaper attacks on MI.
Daugherty he replied: THE opposi-
ton to HIM has made me more than
ever convinced than l would like to
have him in the cabinet"
No Surprise in Appointment.
The selection of Mr.. Daugherty. who
was the Harding pre-convention man
ager and who served during the cam
paign as member of the republican
campaign committee. has been gen.
orally expected by those in close touch
with the cabinet situation.
1t is the second cabinet choice to
be definitely announced. Mr.. Harding
having made known last Saturday his
decision to appoint Charles E. Hughes
of New York, Secretary of State.
Besides Mr.. -Daugherty, the Presi-
dent-elect conferred today with

method of handling tie problem is. OF
doubtful value.
-President-elect Harding began the
last week of his pre-inauguration
conferences here today with several
important questions regarding the
makeup and first steps of his ad-
ministration still undecided.
Inaugural Address.
Definite selections for three of the
ten cabinet places are yet to be made,
and although there are Indications
that Mr.. Harding has about made up
his mind in regard to two of them, he
is understood to be fare from a final
choice on the most troublesome of
all. the secretaryship of the Navy.
He also has most of his inaugural
address to write during the week and
in addition must come to a decision
on various other subjects with which

that Mr.. Hughes was reluctant to leave

influenced by Switzerland's refusal. II is
known there has been considerable feel
ing in the council one member having
refused to go to Geneva
While it was not expected the coun-
Gil would act upon suggestions that the
capital of the league be removed from
Geneva. such action is being discussed
in league circles.
