BLOCKS COUNCIL ON
 TABS OUTDOOR SHOW
Mayor Vetoes Resolution Ordering Carnival
 License Revoked

Mayor AM. paonessa has vetoed a resolution adopted at the last ses- sion Of the common council order ing the license committee to revoke a permit granted the '. NJ. T. A. & B.. society for an open air carnival.
 Tn view of the fact that nine members of the council opposed revocation of the permit Wednesday night and there are several demo- cratic members who were not pres- ent, the mayors veto is almost cer- tain to be sustained. It requires only nine members voting with the mayor to sustain a veto.
 Mayor Paonessa believes one or two carnivals can be admitted to inc city every season without harm tul effect. He also believes. he said, that fraternal and military organiza- tions should be given cooperation in their efforts to raise funds.
 The mayors veto will be submit ted at the special council meeting in two weeks.
 A partial poll of the democratic members of the common council in- ,Iicates a sentiment for the election of B. J. Dougherty as constable over James T. Farrell with whom he was tied for office at Tuesdays election.
 Dougherty and Farrell. democrats, received the same number of votes and neither can be declared elected. Both have refused to withdraw. This makes 1t necessary for the democrat ic Councilmen to caucus and decide upon a nominee who will be elected by tho common council. It is not necessary that the choice lay between Dougherty and Farrell, but no other candidates are now In the field. The council must elect a democrat to fill the vacancy.
 The election of a constable will not take place until the May meet ing of the council.
 Councilmen Edward H. Christ, Thomas Fay and Rodman Chamber lain comprise a committee appoint rl today by Mayor A. M. Paonessa 10 work with the board of fire com nllssioners on the purchase of an au- tomobile for the chief of the depart ment.
 Tho fire board has recommended the purchase of a Cadillac, At Wednesday nights council meeting it was voted 10 table the recommen- 'latlon and appoint a committee to york with the fire board.

Six generals and thirty other officers were among those killed.
 Martial Law Proclaimed.
 Sofia today was in a state of fer ment, the greatest excitement pre- vailing, Martial law has been pro- claimed throughout the country while the military authorities have ordered a curfew established the streets to be cleared at 7:30 D. m. Although all the members of the government were present at the funeral services in the cathedral, none was seriously injured. Pre- mier Tzankoff was one of those in- jured, but was able to preside over the cabinet during its emergency session today. Were At Funeral.
 General Georghieff, whose funeral was being held when the explosion occurred, was assassinated in the street here Tuesday night. The as- sassination closely followed an at tempt upon the life of King Boris as he was motoring near Sofia.
 The bomb apparently was detonat- ed by clockwork mechanism. It had been concealed under the roof in the southern part of the cathedral and spent most of its force upon the crowd in that part of the edifice.
 In addition to the large number of fatalities it is estimated that about 200 persons were wounded. Upon learning or the disaster the King im- mediately went to the scene.
 Assassination In Street.
 The director of the central prison was assassinated in the street here today but otherwise there were no disturbances last night or this morning in either Sofia or the prov inCes.
 Passengers on trains are being searched vigorously. Citizens are en- rolling and forming patrols to main tain order under the direction of the War Minister, General Voulkoff.
 Tales of Bravery
 There were several acts of bravery during the disorder which followed the explosion of the bomb, men among the gathering seeking to as sure the safety Of the women and children by carrying them from the cathedral. The fact that the edi- flee is of stone prevented the addi- tional horror Of fire.
 . Tpe premier Dr. Alexander Tan koff, was among those injured, but he was able 10 preside over an emer- gcncy sitting of the cabinet this morning, It is generally assumed that the government will proclaim martial law, but the country as a whole is quiet, and telcphouic and telegraphic communication with all the important ccnters continues.
 How and hy whom the internal machine was placed on inc cathe- dral roof is unknown. hut the vcr- sion most widely circulated is that the outrage was the act of agents aiming 10 remove Inc Bulgarian gov crnmeDt and create a s'atc Of an- arChy.

NEW YORK. January 31.-Intima-
tions that Charles III. Duell was en-
gagged to Lillian Gish, screen star,
who he has sued to prevent from
making motion pictures except under
d contract with him, were discussed
today in statements by attorneys.
THE wholly unwarranted presump-
tion that Mr.. Duell hoped to win the
favor of Miss Gish's hand" said her
attorney, "is some Indication Of the
length to which the gentleman now
is willing to go in order to coerce her
into working for him. 1t would per-
haps have been more fitting if he had
sued her for breach of promise rather
than having adopted an indirect
means of forcing her to work for
him"
In a statement in behalf of MIR.
Duell il was said he made the con-
tract with Miss Gish because he re-
garded himself as engaged to her.
Mr.. Duell, who is a member of an
old knickerbocker family, and a rel
ative of E,lihn Root, was divorced by
his wife in Paris and after the divorce
there repeated reports that he and
Miss Gish were engaged to marry.

that while the general death rate
among children afflicted with scarlet

complicated cases the death rate is as
high as IS per cent. In the cases
observed by DR.. Blake there was only
! death in IS cases with complica-

the 10 patients who were not treated

ISLAND BILL TO GO OVER.
Congress Will Pass Up Porto Ricee.
Election Measure.

House and Senate leaders have
given executive officers of the Gov
ernment to understand that there is
little if any possibility that the pres
ent session of Congress will attempt
consideration of the Porto Rican bill
extending the right to island citizens
to elect their governor.
1t has been explained that the cal
endar already is congested with inn
rdr rtant legislative measures, and tina
some of the bills listed for considera-
ton before March must be post
poned until the next Congress. In
view of this situation, it was said
today by cabinet members, the Porto
RLcan election bill most probably
would be included among the bills
which will be sidetracked by this
Congress.
