Lines to j. Q. M.

I want to go out where the grass
is green,
Where flowers grow wild, where
the song birds are;
To sit by brook and bask in the
sheen
Of crystal sky where no tenents
bar.
I'd learn from the craftsmen OF
the woods,
The squirrels, the beavers and
birds out there;
How they build their homes that
have storms withstoQd,
With never a hammer, saw or
square.
They would teach me to know
how small | am,
What a mote in this world of life;
To seek for the vain, the tinsel, the
sham,
That hold in this journey of strife.
/ want to get out in the woods of
peace,
Away from the sound of the city's
din,
Where God gives to all a bounti-
full lease,
And its breach is the only sin.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, March 13.-The

Serbian government is moving troops
to the Bulgarian frontier. Up to the
present four divisions have thus ad-
vanced, 1t is charged, being sent from

What the foreign Office regards az a
disquieting feature is the lack of any
acknowledgment from Serbia of Bull
garia's efforts to suppress the Mace
donian movement by arresting hun
dreds Of Macedonians and interning
them far from the frontier.
The foreign minister declares that
while the situation on the whole is

WILL PROBE DEATH
OF MRS. BOTELER
Assistant Prosecutor De.
cIares Coroner's Verdict
Leaves Questions Open.

Following an informal conference
with Deputy Coroner Herbet E. Mar
tyn today. Assistant District Attorney
A. n. Presmont announced that he
would request assistance from the de-
tective bureau in furthering an in
vestigation into circumstances ante
dating the death of Mrs. Alice Teresa
Boteler at 217 F street, Sunday, which
the coroner's jury yesterday found
to be accidentally caused by carbon
monoxide gas.
The object of Mr.. Presmont at pres
ent, he stated, is to discover the
cause for the monoxide gas poison
ing. This, he declared, was not
brought out to his satisfaction. He
discussed with the deputy coroner the
reactions of poisonous gases on per-
sons. He went into the case infor-
mally with him as the result of a
voluntary visit of DR.. Martyr to his
office.
Any object Mr.. Presmont said, "is
to make this investigation a thor

Whether the case is to go to the
grand jury will depend upon the find
ings of this inquiry. which is being
handled Independently by this office.

related angles"
Meanwhile James Henry Windsor,
who was in the same apartment on F
street the night before the woman
was found dead. is at liberty on
$4,000 bond. He found the body. At
the time, he said, he discovered five
gas burners in a stove open. This
reputed statement, Presmont held. is
not borne out either by persons who
subsequently visited the apartment
and failed to detect strong odors of
gas, or by the post-mortem examina-
tion of the District chemist or the
deputy coroner, who found no posi-
tive evidence of Illuminating gas hav-
ing caused the death. These points,
Presmont declared, were ones around
which his Investigation will center.
