WAR CLOUD IS GONE
Russia Breaks Turko-Bulgar-ian
Deadlock.
NOVEL FINANCIAL SCHEME
Muscovite Empire Secures Indem
nity From Turkey by Having
Bulgaria Assume Part of
Debt and Pay Interest.
ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. L The Turko
Bulgraxlan deadlock over the amount of
money to be paid Turkey by Bulgaria
because of the Bulgarian declaration of
Independence Is practically broken and
the warcloud In Southeastern Europe has
been dissipated by the acceptance of a
plan proposed by Russia, which recon
ciles in a novel manner the Turkish claim
of C4.00O.O0O and the Bulgarian offer of
J16. 400.000.
This plan ta based on the Indemnity of
Jl.600.000 a year which, in accordance with
the Berlin treaty of ISTi, Turkey is to pay
Russia, for 100 years. These payments
bear no interest. The Russian proposal
Is to remit them until the Turkish claim
against Bulgaria Is satisfied. Russia will
collect instead J16.iOO.000 from Bulgaria in
similar Installments. These payments
will bear Interest, and the amount of
this interest wi!l recoup Russia.
Bulgaria has formally assented to this
proposal and the Russian government has
assurances that the plan Is satisfactory
to the Turkish government.

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 1. The settle
ment of the Turko-Bulgarlan differences.
It is said in well-informed circles, in
volves recognition of Bulgaria, whose
proclamation of independence precipitated
the crisis.
The RuBsian scheme also will obviate
the necessity for International control of
Bulgarian finances, which would have
been almost inevitable had Bulgaria been
forced to float a loan to cover payment
on the railroad and the Roumellan trib
ute. As it Is the kingdom will be so bur
dened aa not to be able to keep up the
military establishment.
DISMISS LIBEL WITNESSES
Many Subpcnaed, but Xot Sent Be
fore Grand Jury.
WASHINGTON'. Feb. 1. Interest in the
proceedings of the Federal Grand Jury
which is inquiring Into the alleged libel
ous stories printed in' the New York
World and the Indianapolis News regard
ing the Panama Canal purchase, was
Intensified today when It became known
that for the present at least no further
evidence In the case will be presented.
Three witnesses from New York were
here today in response to subpenas, but
after being questioned by District Attor
ney Baker they were relieved of the ne
cessity of going before the jury.
This was also true of Captain J. Angus
Shaw, who on Friday last refused to
testify on the ground that he might in
criminate himself.
Several persons occupying high positions
in the Press Publishing Company were
present in answer to subpenas to appear
for examination.
These were Dumont Clarke, president
of the American Exchange National Bank
and president of the Press Publishing
Company; Florence D. White, financial
manager, and Samuel Williams, a staff
correspondent. One by one they were
conducted Into the office of District At
torney Baker and questioned, and It was
afterward' stated that they would not
be taken before the grand Jury. After
hearing their statements today the Dis
trict Attorney decided that it was not
necessary for them to repeat their state
ments before the grand jury, and dis
charged them from further attendance.
They were accompanied to the court
house by Captain Shaw and Otto Car
mlchael. In charge of the World Wash
ington bureau.

to the City and County of San Fran
cisco the right to use the Hetch-Hetchy
and Lake Eleanor Valleys in the Yo
semlte National Park for reservoir pur

SAYS CONVENTION PACKED
Refused Time to Continue Attack
and Beaten in Election by Ma
jorily of 16,000 Van
Horn Explains Attack.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Feb. 1. The
cause of the anti-Lewis faction in the
United Mine 'Workers convention has
been lost. John Walker, of Illinois,
who opposed President Lewis for re
election, announced today that he
would not contest Mr. Lewis' election.
"The convention has been packed
against me," he said. Jlr. Lewis' ma
jority probably will be 16,000.
Mr. Walker learned the sentiment of
the delegates toward him when, by a
vote of 1627 to 2054, he was refused an
extension of time to speak against the
committee report approving the course
of Mr. Lewis and the executive board
In suspending President Van Horn and
other officials of District No. 11, Indi
ana, for having disobeyed the mandate
of the National officers to discontinue
the Hudson mine strike. .
It will be necessary to elect a vice
president and a secretary-treasurer
during this session, as during the De
cember election no candidate received
a majority. i
John Lawson and Peter Patterson, of
Canada, international board members,
presented a resolution callng upon Presi
dent Van Horn, of Indiana, either to re
tract his characterization of the interna
tional board as "wooden," or withdraw
from the convention.
Mr. Van Horn poured oil on the trou
bled waters by explaining he had meant
the board was helpless within the or
ganization's constitution, and that he had
not charged its members with Ignorance
or lack of integrity.
On the question of accepting the report
of the committee approving tne action
of the president and the international
board in suspending Van Horn and his
associates, it was obvious that the ayes
had It, bit the anti-Lewis faction de
manded a roll-call.
There was a storm of disapproval and
the charge was freely made that there
was an organized effort to Impede the
progress of the convention.
..,n in 1ia tHnl nf Patrick Calhoun
president of the United Railroads, who
is charged with bribery, were disquali
fied during four hours of actual court
proceedings today and at no time did it
seem likely that there would be an addi
tion to the eight jurors temporarily ac
cepted. When the day's session ended
more than BOO talesmen had been sum
moned to attend court during a period
of three weeks and more than 200 had
been actually examined by the attorneys.
Another special venire of 75 names has
been ordered to appear on Wednesday,
by which time. It Is expected, the sixth
panel will be exhausted.
William J. Burns was called, by Invita
tion of Assistant District Attorney Heney,
and questioned by Stanley Moore, one of
the attorneys' for the defense, regarding
his knowledge of the alleged operations
of solicitors for the Morning Call, who,
according to a statement made in court
by Mr. Moore last week, have been
sounding prospective jurors as to their
attitude toward the graft prosecution.
Mr. Burns denied that he had ever heard
of any such occurrence.

Forced to Go Home Through Frozen
Mud or Attend Classes With
Bared Feet.
BELLINGHAM, Wash., Feb. 1. (Spe
cial.) Freshmen of the midyear class
who went up to the Bellingham High
School today limped home shamefacedly,
barefoot, or braved the jeers of the older
students and attended classes minus foot
wear, and their shoes and socks are now
decorating the highest telegraph poles
which the sophomores could find in the
vicinity of the school building.
This partial disrobing of the new class
was the climax of the wildest hazing
which has ever been perpetrated In the
High School. About 15 of the boys in
all were made to tramp through the
frozen mud without covering their feet.
Very few of the articles stripped from
them were ever recovered and if the
recent arrivals can find a leader a furious
class fight for revenge is promised.
The girls were not molested, the boys
having to bear the brunt of the hazing.
The faculty frowns on any repetition of
the scene of today, but it is thought that
the ludicrous side of the episode will save
the offenders from punishment.

COALING STARTED AT ONCE
Battleships Prepare for Last Leg of
Long Trip Around AVorld, and
Will Soon Start

GIBRALTER. Feb. 1. For an hour this
morning the Port of Gibraltar seemed to
be the secene of a naval engagement at
close range. The American battleships
that arrived yesterday were exchanging
salutes with the shore, and with the for
eign warships in the harbor that were
-omitted because of Sunday. The rever
berations were incessant and deafening.
The colliers promptly took, up their
positions alongside! the Minnesota, Ver
mont and Kansas, and before the sound
of the saluting guns had died away the
bands aboard these ships were playing
"rag time" to liven up the dirty and
arduous work of coaling. Each ship re
quired from 1200 to leoo tons to till her
bunkers for the homeward voyage.
The Rhode Island andi the New Jersey
came Into port this morning, and were
followed later by the fourth division, the
Wisconsin, Illinois, Kearsarge and Ken
tucky, which anchored outside the break
water. The third division, consisting of the
Louisiana, Ohio and Virginia, brought
up the rear and presenting a beauitful
picture as they steamed in, glistening In
the sunlight.
Rear-Admiral Sperry, accompanied by
the members of his staff, came ashore
at noon and called officially upon General
Sir Frederick Forestier Walker, the Mil
itary Governor.
The Official Chronicle concludes a laud
atory technical article upon the remark

with the statement that the American
Navy now ranks second to the British.
