 Mr. Palmer. on the stand, stated that he had taken the plans to ;hr office of the building Inspector on February & and that Mir. Gtlchrccst lad told him that he knew Of no r"a- son why a permit should not be granted.
 Judge kirkham brought out ihc fact that the plans had been present. scme time before February S and had contained the name "Belvidere Gar age" When they were returned for the inspection of the commission thos" letters were not on the plan.
 He said that apparently the appel laut had heard something to the ef- feet that f the name was on inc plans thcv would not be approved.

TROOPS ON THE MOVE
Serbian Government Reported send ing soldiers To the Bulgarian From ti1r..

By Tha Associated Press
 Sofia. March 13.--The Bulgarian foreign office declares the Serbian government is moving troops to the Bulgarian frontier. Up to the present, four divisions have ahus been advanc- cd. it is charged. being sent from the cities of Nish. Nrania, Uskub and lsh- tip. Three classes of rescryists have also been called up in circumstances similar to those of last September. when Serbia prepared to intervene in Bulgaria at the time of the commun- ist troubles here.
 What the foreign office regards as a dsuuieting feature is the lack of any acknowledgment from Serbia of Bull garias efforts to suppress the Mace donian movement by arrestng hun dreds of Maccdonians and interning them far from the frontier.
 The foreign minister declares that while the situation on the whole is better. yet to say that the danger oi tragic complications had passed would be to ignore the patent facts. It was significant. he added. that the con centration of Serbian forces was in the region within striking distance of the pernik coal mines.
