FEAR WARFARE
FOR BULGARIA
Civil War Near as PeaSantry
Plans to Attempt Counter
Revolution
ALLIES ARE CONCERNED
Former Premier StambouIiSky
Now Hiding is Pursued by
Revolutionary Horsemen

LONDON, June 1S (By The Asso-
ciated Press) Great anxiety is en-
tertained in Allied quarters over the
course of events in Bulgaria. Fear
is expressed that the peasantry,
which forms the backbone of the
country, will rally to the call of their
deposed leaders, some of whom are
still at large, and attempt counter
revolution.
The Bulgarian legation here is
without definite news of the actual
internal situation, and newspaper
dispatches continue both meager and
conflicting.
1t is pointed out that every one
of the 100000 farmers of Bulgaria
possesses a rife. and that if these
were reused into action they would
constitute a most formidable army
against the former officers of the
reserve corps and the 10000 Volun-
teer soldiers who are now not only
Bulsaria's sole armed and disci-
plined force, but the dominant fac
tors in the situation.
One of the present government 9
chief points of strength tbs believed
is the fact that all the country S
farmers are busy gathering their
crops. They are regarded as being
too philosophical and provident 20
be attracted by a call to arms.
Allied diplomats who have been in
Bulgaria and who understand the
psychology of the peasants say that
muc.4 will depend upon the new
governments treatment Of Stam-
boulisky and his associates. all OF
whom sprang from the soil. If the
ex-p~emier is killed it is feared the
Agrarian population, which regards
him as a sort of Abraham Lincoln.
will revolt and make a determined
attempt to punish his opponents.
According to the latest dispatches
Stamboulisky is now hiding in a
wood near Tapar Bazardjik. some
distance from Sofia, whittier he fled
after a sensational dash by auto
mobile from his native village of
Slovovitza. His chauffeur was NOR
tally wounded during the flight.
The correspondents assert that il
will be impossible for him to escape.
There is a possibility that if he re-
sists capture he will be killed. al
though the government has given
orders that he be taken '-'e at the
risk of some sacrifice.
In the meantime, the new regime
at Sofia. is rapidly displacing men,
bers of its diplomatic corps abroad
who were appointed by Stambouli-
sky. The ministers at Prague. Bel
grade, Paris and Constantinople have
already been cast out and more are
to follow. DIR. Dimitri Stanciof at
London is likely to be asked to re-
main until an envoy acquainted with
English affairs can be selected. II
is also probable that Stephan Pana-
ietoff will remain at Washington un-
disturbed.
Christie Kalloff, the new foreign
secretary, has telegraphed to London
and the other foreign chancelleries
reiterating the peaceful intentions OF
the new government.

DENIAL MADE
IN WILL CASE
No Influence Used, Says
Harry Mohring, in Free
man Will Case

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 13:-
A positive denial of any attempt TO
use undue influence in an effort to
have DIR. Charles Manning Freeman,
of Metuchen, name him in the will
which is now being contested, was
made by Harry Mohring named as
the chief beneficiary. while he was
on the stand in the orphans court
yesterday.
Mr.. Mohring stood up we'll under
the examination subjected 10 during
the afternoon by Russell E. Watson
and Thomas Brown, attorneys for
the caveators. Il had a whole lot OF
care for DR.. Freeman who called me
son and treated me as his own" the
witness said. He also declared, 4
thought nearly as much of him as
l did of my own father" MohIing
told the court that the doctor had
given him a better position than he
mad in the arsenal.
The witness admitted that he was
present on several occasions at the
Davies home in Belleville when he
presumed the doctor was comforting
with his attorneys in regard to the
, FIRMS business and that he had alb
solutely no knowledge of a will be-
| ing drawn on those occasions. He
said that the doctor had told him
early in 1922 that he intended to
| change his will because those men,
toned in it had not been trust
worthy.
Mohring and his wife both testi-
fed that they were surprised TO learr
the contests about the will which
they knew nothing about until it ap
peared in the paper. They said the.
hardly believed the papers were cor
l.rect.
The court was informed by Moh'
ring and his wife that they had not
/ ed a steady improvement in the con
! dition of the doctor during last year
They said that the drunkedness re-
! ferred TO by the previous witnesses
! was exaggerated as the doctor had
! been on but four or five sprees dur
! ing the last fourteen months Of his
/ life. The witness pointed out that the
practice of the doctor in taking q
! glass of whiskey to his bedroom
( every night which was noted dur
! ing the first three months of 1922
| was discontinued after that period
| This was a sign the doctor was try
! ing to stop the use OF alcohol, the
! Mornings pointed out.
The Mornings were somewhat bit
( ter against Mr.. and Mrs. William
/ Breen with whom the doctor former
! ly resided, for their failure to supply
! the home life the doctor was EMIT
! led to inasmuch as he was paying
! for it. The Mornings referred TO the
| Improvement of the doctor during
| the latter part of 1922. saying hi:
clothes were too small for him.
Further testimony will be takeT
in the case on Friday afternoon al
. o'clock when the auditors Of the
! company are scheduled to testify. Al
/ ter the auditors, the caveators vii
be given time for brief rebuttal. Sew
en- or eight medical men and alien
lists are expected to be called on on'
| day, probably in July. Judge Kirk

headquarters by Officer James Nolan
about 4 o'clock this morning after
he had been taken TO the hospital

ance that he had to be put out and

officer learned that a man was lying

nearly every post along the detour
has made it comparatively easy to
follow. However, it is hardly pos
sible to run the car faster than the
average person walks as the many
sharp turns and narrow streets make
it dangerous to go the usual speed.
Many drivers are now using the Sc
warren road through State street, for
although it may be little longer the
riding and driving conditions are
much better.
The work Of repairing the New
Brunswick avenue detour is pro-
crossing and the section of Brace
avenue that has been the cause of
considerable complaint is now in
much better condition.
