States Best People
Rappedby Governor
In Swan Song Talk
Fuller Warns Employees
Against Greed of Bay
State 'Interests."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, November 24.-Gov. Alvan
T. Fuller has taken a fling at this
States best people" in what may have
been his Swan song" to his department
heads.
Warning the departmental chiefs
that they must be ever on the
alert against the greed of special inter-
eStS, the governor, whose term Is near
ing an end, declared:
The greatest danger that confrontS
us in Massachusetts,, in my humble
opinion, is the result of avarice on the
part of our best people who want
something more than they are really
entitled to. 1t Is the ammunition which
the conservatives pass to the radicals
that provides for their growth.
Il have been discouraged to find that
those people who prate the loudeSt
about the Stars and Stripes, who throw
out their chests the farthest as our
leading citizens, somehow or other in
private are not quite as uniformly pa
triotic and diSinterested as one might
expect when listening to their 4th of
July orations.
You are the gentlemen who stand
between the public and special interests,
and / do not want you to accept that
term special interests with any other
meaning than you out of your expert
ence would provide for it. You know
what refer to.
You know as we'll as I do that the
one who wants something special may
be large corporation or 1t may be an
individual who, for example, wants an
unusual or unmerited increase in salary.
If you are not looking out for the public
interests. nobody else is, because while
individuals throughout the community
might be interested, they do not know
about the particular matters in issues. -"

PUMPING BELIEVED
FATAL TO VESTR|S
Prober- Thinks Efforts OF Of
ficerS to Save Liner
>. Aided Disaster.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 24.-A theory
that the very efforts taken by officers
Of the British liner Vestris to correct
the vessels fatal list in reality con-
tributed to her foundering has been ad-
vanced by Walter F. Brown, Assistant
Secretary Of Commerce. Mr.. Brown is
aiding in one of the two Federal in
veStigationS.
1t is his theory that the pumping of
the Starboard water ballast tanks in
the lowest part of the vessel, while the
coal bunkers above remained filled or
partly filled with water, raised the
vessel and accentuated the list.
Mr.. Brown made his observations
after the appearance on the stand of
the chief engineer of the Vestris. James
men mutinied on him, and their re-
fusal to fire the boilers probably con-
tributed to the sinking of the vessel.
This was in direct contradiction of
testimony by members of the crew that
the flremen stuck to their posts until
the last. Two of the firemen, James
BoXil and Fritz GiddenS, Barbados
negroes, followed Mr.. Adams on the
stand and repeated their denials that
there was any mutiny in the fireroom
crew.
The chief engineer when questioned
eS to why he did not force the men to
return to work at the point of a gun

BULGARS ON MARCH
AGAINST PETR|TCH
Bitter Fighting Expected
When Soldiers Try to
Arrest MichaiIoff.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SOFIA. Bulgaria, November "a
Troops were marching today on Petritch,
stronghold of Ivan Michailoff, leader of
the belligerent faction of the Macedon-
ian revolutionary party. The order that
soldiers arrest Michailoff came after an
exchange Of defiances between the
leader and the government. 1t was
expected that bitter fighting would
ensue in the attempt to capture
Michailoff.
The government sent an ultimatum
ordering him to discontinue all acts
of terrorism and to abandon his march
on Sofia. He replied that federal men,
bers of the Bulgarian government de-
served death, and termed them the
greatest enemies OF the Macedonian
people.
The government then sent troops
after Michailoff and rushed large con-
tingents of soldiers into Sofia from the
outlying districts to reinforce the gar
rison. Strong sentry forces were placed
around all government buildings and a
doubled police guard protected members
of the cabinet.
Government PowerIess.
Athanase Buroff, foreign minister
acknowledged in Parliament that the
government was powerless to crush the
revolutionary movement. This state
ment added to the fears of the popu-
lation, which believed that general mar
tial law was inevitable.
The foreign minister said he had cau-
toned Great Britain and France. who
had protested against the activities of
the revolutionaries, that if they wanted
the organization suppressed they must
procure the good influence of Bulgaria's
since hundreds of thousands
OF Macedonians are now living under
Jugoslavian and Greek rule.
The national ministry. like Bulgaria,
is divided into two camps regarding the
Macedonian movement. War Minister
Volkof is an ardent supporter of the
Macedonian desire for liberty, and For
eign Minister Burof is strongly opposed
10 Macedonian activities.
MichaiIoff Warned.
Should the situation force the cabi-
net to resign, this would probably only
throw the country into further confu-
sion and possibly give Michailoff the
upper hand. The main purpose of his
threatened march is to show that he is
master of the revolutionary forces and
to insist upon their demands being
granted. He also wishes to remove by
violence all those who have joined rival
Macedonian groups.
Adherents of the late Gen. Proto-
gueroff, who was slain by Michailoff's
followers after a split in the Macedon-
ian revolutionary ranks, said that If
Michailoff persisted in his march on
Sofia they would publish all the past
misdeeds and plots of the organization.
They said that this would be tranta-
mount to signing their own death war
rant. since they had been involved in
many of these acts against the govern
ment and public safety.
