He could not long elude the large
forces seeking him, however. and he
was captured yesterday at Molavi,
village near SlayovitZa.
Alexander Stamboulisky, known as
the peasant premier, was one OF the
most picturesque personalities in
modern Bulgarian history. A man
of massive frame and tremendous
energy, he was described by his op-
ponents as "a bull in a china closet
but there was no doubt OF his popu-
larity with the all-potent peasant
party.
OF the humblest peasant origin,
he rose to the power OF a dictator,
solidifying under his leadership the
widespread opposition 20 the war
policies of former King Ferdinand,
who threw the fortunes Of his coun-
try into the scale on the side of the
Central powers in the World War.
His opposition to Ferdinand's pol
icies resulted in his trial for treason
and he was condemned TO life i'm
prisonment in the early part of 1916,
but about three years later the arm
istice interviewed and he was re-
leased. While in prison he wrote
eighteen books and worked out
many of the legislative and social
reforms which later, as the admin
istrative head of the country, he be-
gan to put into practice.

PRISON CHARGE
BEING PUSHED
Commissioner Lewis Publish
es List of Articles Taken
by MuIheron, Charge

TRENTON, June 15:-As result
of testimony at the investigation into
charges of brutality and graft in the
management of the New Jersey state
prison here, now being conducted
by a joint committee of the institu-
tional board of control and the
board of prison managers, which
testimony purported to show that
former Principal Keeper James II.
Mulheron had used prisoners and
prison supplies in the construction
of a new homo at IA Lee avenue,
this city, Commissioner of Institu-
tions Burdette G. Lewis today made
public list of articles which Null
heron was charged with taking from
the prison to use in his new home.
The former prison head was alleged
to have taken the articles during
November and December, 1921, and
during January, 1922.
In defending himself against the
accusation Mr.. Mulheron, at the last
hearing of the probe committee, as
serted he had paid for every article
on the list furnished him by the
prison fiscal officer as having been
used in the construction of his new
home, and which were said to have
been taken from the prison supplies.
Commissioner Lewis, however, de-
clared that there was a discrepancy
in the list of articles said to have
been taken by Mr.. Mulheron and
those for which he later paid.
1--WE had hoped it would be un-
necessary to go into this matter"
said Commissioner Lewis, with re-
gard to the Mulheron incident, but
unfair statements and inferences in
the press, calculated to deceive the
public, call for a statement of the
facts of records and in the sworn
testimony taken in the course of the
prison investigation"
Commissioner Lewis asserted that
no one had yet explained the differ
ence between the list of state sup
plies used in repairing Mr.. Mulher-
on's private residence and the list
of items said to have been returned.

it is Said Today
BY THE UTILITY BOARD

of State Regulation at
Stake, it is Believed
BY THE UTILITY BOARD

TRENTON, June 15.-The rate
case in the federal court whereby
the Public Service Railway Company
has been granted in effect an eight
cent fare will be appealed if neces-
sary to the United States supreme
court by the State Public Utility
Commission. This action was decided
upon after a conference by the
board.
In making this decision, the board
asserted that the policy of state reg
ulation is at stake. The board prac-
tically accused the federal courts of
subterfuge when it declared that the
question involved was whether rate
making be function of the state or
whether the court shall assume 1t by
"indirection."
"If a Judge of a federal court can
set aside the acts of the board" de-
clared the latter body, "and in eff
feet fix a rate as was done in this
case, the legislative power OF rate
fixing is at an end"
The board referred to the act OF
former Judre Thomas G. Haight,
special master to take testimony in
the rate case, in reporting to the fed
eral district court here that the
Utility Boards seven cent fare with
two cents for transfer was contlsca-
