superior strength to the Greeks. The
latter assert that a -whole dtfision of
Bulgarians was destroyed, and that the
Bulgarians fled in such confusion that
they even left loaded guns behind. -
This victory Is considered of great
importance because Doiran was the
Bulgarian victualing center and all the
provisions fell into the hands of the
Greeks.
Turkish Demands May Be Met.
Tt is reported from Sofia that the
10th Bulgarian division, which rein
forced General Ivanoff, 'was brought

Father Michel asserts that among the
irregulars responsible for these atroci
ties were business and professional
men and students from. Sofia.
The Turkish government decided to
day to occupy with its armed forces
all the territory within the Enos-Midia
lino running from the Aegean Sea to

near Kotchana. '
Heavy fighting occurred Monday,
the Bulgarians attacking the Servian
center at Kotchana. The Servians were
repulsed with very severe losses.

SMALL INVESTORS

SHORT-TIME ISSUES TO SELL IN
$100 DENOMINATIONS.
Portland Will Experiment on Both
Kinds of Municipal Improve
ment Paper.
Residents of Portland 'will" have an
portunlty before the end of the present
month to purchase municipal improve
ment bonds In small denominations.
This was the announcement yesterday
of City Commissioner Bigelow, who is
preparing a general popular issue of
6 per cent improvement bonds to be
sold in amounts ranging from $100 up.
The City Commission at a meeting to
day will fix the date for the sale of
the bonds and also will authorize- their
issuance in small denominations. This
is a new venture in the bonding busi
ness . of Portland. Later when long
time 4 per cent bonds come up for
sale a similar system will be worked
out if the sale of the first popular issue
is a success.
Improvement bonds are sold period
ically for public improvements such
as sewers, paving, street grading and
sidewalks. Heretofore bonds of this
lrlni lii-u rini- ntr t-unt Interest sand
Thavlng an average life of four years,
have sold for between 2 and 3 per
cent above par. In tnat way an In
vestment of J100 will net the Investor
between 3 and 4 per cent net interest
the first year and 6 per cent thereafter
during the life of the bond. Interest
Is paid semi-annually. Formerly these
bonds have been sold to bonding com
panics. In a number of instances, it
Is said, the Dremtum on these bonds
j could have, been saved by purchasing
direct from the city.-
When long-time bonds are issued a
similar' popular subscription plan will
be tried. The charter amendments un
der which these issues were authorized
provide that the bonds shall be issued
in denominations of not less than $1000.
By the city purchasing these at a rea
sonable rate with money in the interest
indebtedness sinking fund certificates
can be issued for $100 or less and can
be sold to small investors. These cer
tificates will entitle the purchaser to
a pro rata portion of the interest on the
bond of $1000 held by the city.. Long
time bonds have an average life of 25
years and bear interest of 4 per cent
per year.

Forth by Trust.
WASHINGTON, July 8.The Senate
lobby Investigating committee took a
look at Wall street today through the
spectacles of David .Lamar.
The dapper operator on the bear side,
who admits that he bandied about in
the market places the names of men
high in Congress, took the committee
completely into "his confidence.' '
For all the machinations he con
trived there were after all, he swore,
only two reasons. He wished to cause
an "explosion" which would bring the
Wall street men whom he felt were. an
tagonistic to him "into the open" and
he wished to insure the re-employment
of 'Edward Lauterbach, his lawyer
friend, who had fallen into disfavor
with the mighty of the street. -
Wall Street Law to Itself.
Although the committee tried to de
velop that there might have been some
other consideration Involved. Lamar
denied such an allegation as often as
it was made. He was on the stand for
several hours and although five Sena
tors ' wielded the scalpel at various
times, they uncovered" , nothing that
Lamar did not wish to reveal.'. He, was
only playing Wall street's game,, he said,
when ' he made such frequent . use of
the telephone and talked " about rwhat
might be done in. Washington through
prominent members of Congress. It was
the game he had known most of 25
years he had been in the street, he said,
but he was through with It now. He
summoned up his whole story in a few
words when he said:
"It was the Wall-street game I was
playing. In Wall street you don't act
like you do on a New Jersey farm." '
Latej he added bitterly: T " '
"I am the only villain in Wall street.
All the others are actuated by the
highest motives and possess the high
est ideals."

tary of the National Wool-Growers' s
Bociation, believes that . delaying the

as provided for by ' the Democratic 'Seh

Western woolmen. He said today:
"'At present, there is l'.tl wool In
tho American market except the clip of
this year and between now and De
cember 1 our mills should be able to
consume a large part of this year's
wool." There Is some' So, 000, 000 pounds
of imported wool in bond, but this wool
cannot be taken "without the payment
of 11 cents a pound duty. Therefore
it Is probable that our manufacturers
will confine their attention to domestic
wools until December 1 and this should
mean an advance of prices throughout

The . Federal grand jury in .making
its 'final report to United States Dis

The paragraphs which the Judge ob

NICKEL FARE LAW INVALID
Seattle Traction Officials Escape
Jail on Court's Ruling.'
OLYMPIA, Wash.. July 8. (Special.)
The B-cent streetcar fare provision
of the Washington public utilities law
was declared Invalid by the State Su
preme Court today in a decision In the
case of officials of the Seattle. Ren
ton & Southern Railway, sentenced to
SO days' Imprisonment for collecting
a 10-cent fare within the city limits
of Seattle.
The court, following a decision of
the United States Supreme Court, held
that the penalty of the public utilities
law, which makes collection of more
than 5 cents fare a gross misdemeanor,
is so severe that In practice it would
prevent street railroads from seeking
to " protect their rights, since failure
might mean a penalty as great as a
year's imprisonment for each official.

J. S. Thompson and George K.
Teeters Said to Have Gone Far
With Evidence of "Dcals'

Reports that there .lias existed a
system of barter and sale in appoint-
mentn to thft nnlic. rtotiyrt mn( hnv'.' -" '
been under exclusive consideration by
the grand Jury for the past two days.
, Following a late-night investigation
by Deputy District Attorney Maguire
last night, further evidence of a sen
sational nature will be placed before
that body today and the prospect is
that the affair so will, ramify that the
greatest municipal scandal in years
will come to light before the inquisi
tors have concluded their labors.
Mentioned in the evidence already
produced are A. P. Armstrong, County
Superintendent of Schools and until a
few days ago member of the City Civil
Service Commission; Detective Ser
geant Robert H. Craddock, and an un
named man who is believed to have
been campaign manager for Superin
tendent Armstrong in the campaign
last Fall for the position he now holds.
Net Reach r Far.
. While the evidence so far adduced
concerns only a few transactions, in
volving .wi all sums of money, said to
range from $10 to 850, a lead has been
developed which reaches i.n many di
rections.. . Growing out of the present investi
gation Is at least one other, which
probably will be placed before the
grand jury today. This Is the per- '"
sistent report, backed by some evi
dence, that a ' determined effort was
made at the time of the city primary
campaign to persuade members of the
police department to subscribe for tho
Daily News." supporter of Candidate
Rushlight, and to urge their friends
to do so.
The movement, which was placed in
the Viands of Acting Chief Slover to
manage, came' to' little or . nothing,
through the determined resistance of
a few doughty . members of the force,
who threatened to carry the affair be
fore the public. .
Humor Current Lode
Rumors that numerous new ap
pointees to the police department had
paid for their ratings at the- head of
the eligible list have beon current In
police circles for several weeks. They
reached the ears of District Attorney
Evans last Saturday, and the i Tst

case ever since and lias more days of
similar work, in prospect.
All tho stories centered about one
group of 10 young patrolmen who took
the civil service examination, last Fall,
and the District Attorney started by
issuing subpenas for all of them, with,
out knowing; which ones held the in
formation he desired. 'From the start
he met with encouraging success.
J. S. Thompson, who headed the list
at that examination, with a rating of
96 per cent and who, . In rumor, was
said to have paid 830. denied the pay
ment of the money, but told the fol
lowing story:
"Webb" Mgm Menage.
Thompson received a note, .written
on a yellow sheet of paper, asking him
to call at detectlvo headquarters. Tha
message was signed "Webb." Inquiring
at headquarters, he found no one who
understood the summons, but someone
at length told him to wait and sea
Craddock. When that officer arrived,
says Thompson, ho escorted the appli
cant to Mr. Armstrong's office, wncre
there was desultory talk about the ex
amination, but no overt solicitation. Ha
never paid any money, but headed the
list when it was Issued.
George E. Teeters, another member
of tho force, is said to have gone far
ther in his testimony. lie, like Thomp
son,- was summoned to detective head
quarters, where he met Craddock and
Patrolman C. W. Vroman. and waa
taken to Armstrong's office. There
they met the stranger, who appears
from time to time in the case, and tha
four, excluding Armstrong, withdrew
to another room, where the stranger
made a direct proposal to them to con
tribute to Armstrong's campaign fund. v
Teeters excused himself on the ground
that he had not the money. He does
not know what arrangement Vrbman
made, but that officer will also be be
fore the grand jury to tell his story.
Vroman was passed with a comfortable
rating. The sum mentioned to Teeters,
ha says, was $20.
Schiller Gives JLIsfct.
Eugene Schiller, who was appointed
to the force on the last day of the Rush
light administration, but whose, ap
pointment wa held up by Mayor Albee,
told a similar story, with additions.
He said Craddock told him that ha
