BULGARIA UPON VERGE
OF WAR WITH RUMANIA
King Ferdinand's Departure for
Maneuver Camp Believed to
Foreshadow Break
LONDON, Sept. 11.
Skilled diplomats see war clouds grow
ing largo in the Bnlkans, Tho signs all
point, they assert, to war between Bul
garia and Rumania. It Is apparent from
carefully worded dispatches coming from
Bolla and Bucharest that great events
aro developing Ht each capital.
A Bucharest dispatch of considerable
length, tecelved hero today, carried a re
port that King Ferdinand, of Bulgaria,
had gone to tho "maneuver camp" of his
army. Tho remainder of the dispatch
was valueless, and apparently had been
sent as a foil for the Important news
that King Ferdinand had left his capital.
The Turkish city of Phosaca, on the
coast of Asia Minor, Is burning as the
result of a bombardment by Allies' war
ships. The city has been on fire since
last Friday, wncn tho ships began shell
ing It. Phosaca Is 25 milts northwest of
Smyrna.
Heavy reinforcements for tho British
and French are being landed on Gallipot!
Peninsula. Tho disembarkation of the new
expedition to tho Dardanelles was pre
ceded by a tenlfic bombardment directed
by tho Allies' wnrshlps upon tho Turkish
batteries on both tho Asiatic nnd Euio
pean side" Many ot tho batteries wcie
completely silenced, nnd othcis have been
able tb reply at Intervals.
Unconfirmed reports of a clash bctweon
Bulgarian nnd Rumanian border patrols.
In which 10 men were killed and a dozen
injured, reached Athens today. Tho ad
vices Intimate that tho Bulgarians were
the aggressors, attacking tho Rumanian
patrol without warning.

A Chinatown stabbing Affray over tho
lovo of an almond-eyed beauty resulted
In a riot call for police lato this after
noon. The victim, Elmer Lowo, a sailor
on tho battleship Tennessee, is dying In

rant In Race street near 8th with tho girl.
They wcro followed by a Chinaman who
is believed to havo been the girl's sweot
hcart. When the trio reached tho street,
the Oriental plunged a knife Into the
sailor's back The sailor, a husky fellow,
fell In the street, but rose quickly.
The knife fell from the wound. Ho ran

considered the granite bid upon by Wig

Johnson, when confronted with an esti
mate made to Fonder of $2100 less for the
grnnlto specified by Wiggins, absolved
himself or attempted to absolve himself
by saying he "preferred" one of the gran
ites named In the specifications. Then It
became too big a fraud for Adjutant Gen
eral Stewart to swallow, for ho at onco
said:
"I hnd never heard this expression of
opinion from Mr. Johnson before. This
throws a new phase on the whole propo
sition." It did throw a ney phase upon It be
cause the KvuNlNa Ledger correspondent
has every leason to believe that had not
Fonder, the actual low bidder, nccordlng

Conflicting opinions regarding the death
of John Tost, tho cashier of the Phil,
adelphla and Reading Railway, whoi
body was found along the tracks near
Collcgcvllle, Is making tho Investigation
of tho mystery difficult.
Coroner McGlathery contends that tha
man was murdered and points to tho fact
that 30 cents wero found In his pockets
a short tlmo after ho was seen with a
largo roll of monoy. It also Is contended
by tho Coroner that a silt In tho man'i
pocket was mado hurriedly by hlg mur
derer to get the money. But the robbery
ho believes, was committed to hide an
other motive that of revenge. Invest),
gallon by tho Coroner has brought out
the fact that .Yost had an enemy who
had nursed a grudge against him for
years because of a fight over a woman.
Not long ngo Yost told his flanc,
Miss Edna Ullman, that a man llvlngn
Lansdale had threatened to "get" him.
Ho also told his mother that he might
bo found dead at any time.
Ills parents aro convinced that Yost
was murdered and aro endeavoring to
engage detectives to bring his murderer
to Justice. Mrs. Yost declares that some
of the officials nro working against Cor
oner McGlathery, and she asserts that
they fear tho man who killed her son will
bo found.
