PAGE TWO FEARFUL LOSSES IN BALKAN WAR Servians and Bulgarians Appear Worst Sufferers. BELGRADE GETS BAD NEWS Semi-Official Statements Intended to) Prepare the Public for Tidings of a Disaster. London, July 7.—After ten days of | fighting, more severe and deadly in eharacter than anything in the last Balkan war, a little light begins to break upon the hitherto obscure op- erations. In the first place the Ser- vians have lost more men than in the whole previous campaign and semi- official statements issued at Belgrade have the appearance o@@in intention to prepare the public for news of a disaster. Desperate fighting, with fluctuating fortunes, is proceeding along the Var- dar and Bregalinitza rivers, which seems to be in favor of the Bulgarians. Important news has been received of the Bulgarian invasion of Servia through Belogradohyk, about forty- five miles northeast of Nish, Servia’s most important fortified town. No in- dication is given of the strength of the Bulgarian column at this point, but the Bulgarians claim to have de- feated the Servians and captured five guns and other war material and by the occupation of the passes to have opened the road to Nish. Losses Appear to Be Terrible. There is heavy fighting also be- tween the Servians and Bulgarians to the south of Istip and in the neigh- borhood of Kotchana. About 200,000 men are engaged and the losses on both sides appear to be terrible. Bulgaria’s strategy appears to be to hold the Greeks in check, prob- ably with comparatively small forces, while she deals with Servia. This assumption, if correct, would explain the victorious advance of the Greek army. Saloniki dispatches continue to re- port Greek victories. The Greeks are said to have captured sixteen guns at Doiran. Evidence of desperate fight- ing is found in the arrival of 8,000 ‘wounded at Saloniki, taxing the town’s accommodations and resources to tho uttermost. A conservative estimate of the killed or disabled in last week’s fight- ing fixes the number at from 30,000 | to 40,000. Thousands of destitute refugees from the scene of fighting are pouring into Saloniki. TWO VESSELS GO ASHORE Barge and Steamer Are Driven Off Course on Lakes. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., July 8—Un- able to hold her course in the heavy wind the lumber barge Peters of Chi- cago, owned by the Nessen Lumber eompany, was driven ashore on Crab island, near Detour. The vessel is in bad shape. The crew got off safely. The steamer Loughlin got out of her course and went aground at the lower end of Hay lake. Greeks March on Serres. Saloniki, July 8.—Part of the Greek right wing has driven the Bulgarians across the river Struma, and is now marching on the town of Serres, ac- cording to official reports from the 1 !

New York, July 8.—The rout of the fireburg, which Fire Commissioner Jo- seph Johnson believes he has effected in his campaign against the “arson ! trust,” will save New York city $4,- 500,000 this year, according to an esti- mate based upon a remarkable de- crease in fire losses for the first six months. The losses up to July 1 aggregated $3,580,315, as against $5,819,001 for the corresponding period in 1912 or a decrease of $2,238,686. In one of the so called firebug dis- tricts, where in previous years there had been as many as fifty fires a month, the average has been reduced to seventeen.

LAUTERBACH IS ON THE STAND Probers by Lamar. DECLARES IT FALSEHOOD Never Informed Morgan Attorney That} He Represented Speaker Clark, Sen- ator Stone and Other Democratic Leaders. Washington, July 8—Edward Lau- terbach, New York lawyer and friend of David Lamar, flatly denied before the senate lobby committee that he. ever had told Lewis Cass Ledyard, counsel for J. P. Morgan & Co., that he represented Speaker Clark, Sena-_ tor Stone and other Democratic lead-| ers in negotiations with “Wall street” over pending legislation. Before Lauterbach’s examination | went on the committee in executive session debated whether his testi- mony would give him immunity from prosecution if it developed that be and Lamar had violated federal or New York state statutes. “Tf there is any question in your mind as to immunity I waive it ab-! solutely,” said Lauterbach. Lauterbach then explained at length his motives for desiring to re- habilitate himself in the good graces of the Morgan firm. He testified thai until he had heard Representative Palmer’s testimony he knew nothing} of Lamar impersonating congress- men. Lauterbach added that he felt that Lamar “in some way was the cause of the disaffection of large corporations to me.” Makes Further Denials. He denied he had talked with Led- yard of Lamar’s connection with “blackmailing” corporations. Lauterbach swore he had not told Ledyard he represented Speaker Clark, Senator Stone or any other Democratic leaders. He said, however, he had told Ledyard he felt confident he could stop investigation of the steel corporation without working through Lamar. “Did you see Speaker Clark, Sena- tor Stone or any other Democratic leaders?” asked Senator Reed. “No, I saw none of them.” Lauterbach added he had censured ; Lamar for not letting him know of the impersonations he was carrying on over the telephone. “Lamar said he had done these things to bring to light the con-' spiracy against me, of which Mr. Ledyard was the leading factor.’ PLAN MONSTER AUTO eee Women Suffragists of Many States to| Gather at Washington.

ONE LINE REFUSES Chicago Great Western Will Fight Minnesota Rates. A. C. Briggs and 8. W. Burr, attor- neys for the Chicago Great Western, conferred with Attorney General Smith at St. Paul as to the methods to be pursued by the company in fight- ing the rate case. Because of the death of J. A. Humbird, the stockhold- er-plaintiff in the injunction proceed- ings, another will be substituted for him. Mr. Briggs and Mr. Burr told Mr. Smith that they intended to ask for a modification of the injunction to allow the company to establish the state rates now, although they will in- sist on having them declared confis- catory in order to escape the payment of the $300,000 in refunds due ship- pers. The action of the Chicago Great Western in refusing to subscribe to the agreement entered into by the oth- er roads operating in Minnesota to pay refunds on excess charges during the period of rate litigation came as a distinct surprise to state officials. Attorney General Smith, when asked “what course the state will pursue, in- timated that it means a retrial of the entire rate case with the Chicago Great Western as a defendant.

SERVIANS SLAIN Division Nearly Annihilated by Bulgarians. REPORTS CONTRADICTING Bitter Fighting Is Known to Have Taken Place, but Stories From the Front Are Conflicting in Regard to Which Army Is Gaining Success. Vienna, July 8.—Eleven thousand officers and men of the Servian Timok division were killed during the battle with the Bulgarians, in which the di- vision was defeated, according to the Sofia correspondent of the Reichspost. The division consisted of 15,000 men, who were surrounded by a Bulgarian army which had outflanked them. Only _ 4,000 of the Servians survived and these were taken prisoners. According to other newspaper re- ports a Bulgarian column of 14,000 men had succeeded in reaching the Servian town of Vranya and is threat- ening the line of retreat of the Ser- vian army. The Bulgarians presumably were pushed forward from Egri Pa- lanka. REPORTS VERY CONFLICTING Stories of Progress of Balkan War Do Not Agree. London, July 8—Reports of the progress of the Balkan conflict reach- ing here continued to be hopelessly contradictory as to whether Servia was successful over the Bulgarians or the forces of King Peter were being driven back. It was the general belief, however, that the Bulgarians were gradually forcing both the Servians and Greeks back, but not without the most bitter fighting. . The battles have been marked by hand to hand conflicts, in which bay- onets were used as sabers and at such close quarters that the troops resort- ed to clubbing each other with the butts of their rifles. It is estimated the fighting covers an area of 5,000 square miles. More than 100,000 noncombatants are home- less. They have fied from their homes and are in danger of starvation. Scores of villages have been burned. Diplomatic relations have been com- pletely broken off by all the Balkan states. Advices from Belgrade declared that it is generally believed here the plan of the Bulgarians is merely to keep the Greeks fairly in hand, while they dispose of the Servians. It was not believed any serious endeavor was being made to check the Greeks at present, as Servia is regarded as the bulk of the army is being thrown along the has been des- Greeks, how- wound- ed had arrived at Saloniki. a}
