COMMUNIST PLOT
IN BULGARIA N|PPED

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright. 1923.
SOFIA, July 2.-The police have dis
covered the existence of an important
communist and extreme agrarian plot
It originated in the town of Pleveu
a provincial town renowned for its
communistic leanings-
Local communists, aided by Rus
SLAMS, hoped to set up republic. 1t
was intended first that Stam5ouliski
the late premier. should be president
and that later the communists should
take over full control
Large quantities of rifles, machine
guns and ammunition have been
found Undoubtedly these were
brought from Russia
Kolarev, leader of the Bulgaria
communists, was arrested Sunday on
his return from Moscow, where he
attended meetings of the third inter-
rationale. Perusal of documents
found upon him indicate that the
communists were afraid Stambouliski
would be overthrown, and they were
planning to prepare counter stroke
to any action that might be taken
by the Bulgarian army and the bour-
geoisfe. The army, however, fore
stalled the communists, whose activ-
tiles have suffered a severe check.

FUNDS FOR INJURED
MAN GROW SLOWLY
The Star viii Accept Money
for Electrician Hurt Dur
ing Shrine Week.

Only s1I2 have been received for
credit to the fund for J. E. Gale.
young electrician. who was seriously
injured during Shrine week, while re-
pairing electric fixtures on a pillar
in the Garden OF Allah.
His condition continues serious and
1t is problematical whether he will
ever be able to work again.
The misfortune was augmented by
the fact that the wife Of Mr.. Gale
had just recently returned from a
hospital where major operation had
been performed with such. resultant
expense that the family funds were
at their lowest possible ebb at the
time of the accident
Washington Topham started the
fund with a generous check. Since
that time the contributions have been
exceptionally far apart.

French Seize Krupp Plant,
Isolate Frankfort in Reprisal

cupation question by pressure upon
France to change her viewpoint is
doomed to failure, according to semi
official information obtained today.
Strong feeling was evident at the
French foreign office against the Brit
ish attitude and the tone of the sug-
gestions in sthe recent letter TO Pope
Plus, which; are based. Upon French
concessions instead Of upon bringing
Germany to realize the necessity of
fulfilling her obligations" it was de-
clared
French governmental circles also are
convinced that the efforts OF both the
British and the Vatican to induce Ger
many by persuasion to change her at
titude will prove fruitless.
I'VE tried persuasion foe three
years without results" one high Off
cial was quoted as saying today. Co
ercion is the only thing Germany
understands"
Want Solidarity.
The only way out Of the present
imbroglio is absolute solidarity
among the allies. as obtained during
the war, and joint representations
to Germany" Is the feeling voiced
in official circles here.
1t is understood on good authority
that France is prepared to change
the character of her Ruhr occupation
should the Germans abandon their
passive" resistance, which is quail
fed here as being rather active than
passive. The crop of time bombs
lately developed in the Ruhr and
the Rhineland is declared to have
strengthened Frances decision not
to make the slightest concession until
the German government gives a
solemn undertaking to bend all its
efforts to stop the outrages and
until the new German proposals are
UNDERWATER by neutral countries or
the allied and associated powers.

NEW .TRAFF|CRU[E
AIDS PEDESTRIAN
Safety Council Begins
Months Experiment to End
Narrow Escapes at Corners.

The Washington Safety Council be-
gan a months experiment today on a
plan to bring about closer co-opera
ton between the pedestrian and the
traffic officer and to put quietus on
grumblings that the pedestrian hasn't
e chance at street crossings and inter
sections.
First, the council has posted at
strategic points throughout the city.
on automobiles. street cars and other
vehicles this notice:
Cooperate with the police.
when crossing a street
"obey the semaphore.
Listen for the whistle"
Second, the council has caused spe-
cial Instructions to be given traffic
policemen that pedestrians should
have a reasonable chance at inter
sections" Every crossing officer
will blow his whistle in sufficient
time before turning the semaphore
or otherwise changing the direction
Of traffic. to enable every pedestrian
to reach the opposite curb in safety.
The officer will also by hand gesture
hold all vehicles not already in the
intersection back Of the near side of
the near cross walk between the time
the whistle Is blown and the sema-
phore changed.
Cites Past Abuses.
Pedestrians, says the council, have
at times stepped Oft the curb and
started to cross a street in the di-
rection indicated by the semaphore,
only to be startled by vehicle
coming around the corner and caus-
Ing them to jump out OF it's way.
To cover some Of this danger the
council was instrumental in having
passed and effected the following
regulation:
"On approaching a policed intersec-
ton the driver of any vehicle,
whether intending to cross or turn
right or left. shall not operate such
vehicle past the near side of the near
cross-walk unless authorized to do
SO by voice, hand or mechanical sig
nal from the officer on post"
The traffic officers have been spe
cially instructed to see that this regu-
lation is complied with.
With the crossings thus made
safer. will the citizens utilize this
and comply with the request on the
posters" asks the council. will
they cross only in the direction in
dictated by the semaphore and stop at
the curb when the whistle blows?
Or will they continue to cross when
and how they see fit, taking a chance
at every crossing, unmindful of the
direction of traffic2
Some cities, notably New York.
have found it necessary to station
police at each cross-walk of an in
tersection to force pedestrians IL
obey the traffic signs and thus save
themselves from injury. This neces-
states an increased police force and
an increased expenditure of pub
! lie money, and therefore in order
to save police we ask our citizens
not to take a chance with their own
lives when crossing street. The re-
suits of the poster appeal to be made
, during July will help to answer this
question"
