The chief got his man within two hours of the attack, in which his skull was fdactured and his nose broken by blows with a hammer. James was already weakened by a bullet wound received a few months ago from a man who resisted arrest. After today's experience he was taken %0 a hospital where his-condition was gsaid to be serious. The dead man wsa known as James Harmon, who with a companion, Wal- face Willlams, allas Walter Welsh, Bad been held on a charge of burg- Jary for a hearing today. They elajrred to hail from Syracuse, N. Y., and were alleged to have stolen an Jautomcebile in Boston Tuesday night and driving ‘nere to have broken open @ safe in a local garage. Early the mext morning they were overtaken in Quincy and surrendered after being fired upon by the police. The men were brought here. and placed in the custody of James.

Leeving the building the prisoners were noticed by two street car em- ployes who entered the jail and re- | leased James. The chief refused to wait for medical attendance, and ob- taining a pair of automatic revolvers, Bopped into an automobile and start- ed in pursuit. He overtook the men ~*¢n the road a half mile from the jail and called upon them to surrender. Harmon’s reply was two shots. James began shooting, his third bullet went through Harmon’s head.

The lieutenant was a clerk of the “suprcme court, and had been detailed to act as a representative of the min- istry of justice before the second court-martial of Paris. In this capa- “wity he was ealled upon to investigate many cases of desertion. His mind thus fixed upon this subject, it came to haunt him, and preyed upon him cuntil he became deranged. Every unknown person whom he encountered in the palace of justice he tcok for a secret service man on his track. This morning he was hav- ing breakfast with his family when the doorbell rang. " “They are secret service agents, come to arrest me for desertion,” he oried. He ran to his room, and be- fore he could be prevented seized his révolver and shot himself dead. ‘NOoT TO RETURN TO CORNISH.

Rumania and Greece, How- Rome, Sept. 2, 9:16 a. m., cia Paris, Sept. 3, 4:26 a. m.—Revision of the treaty of Bucharest has been agreed to explicitly by Serbia, Rumania and Greece, acording to reports received 4 bere, but it 15"sgid these countries are not willing to 'satisfy entirely Bul- garia’s claims to territorial compen- sation for participation in the war. Bulgaria’s pretensions apparently are irreconciliable with what her neighbors are willing to grant and the impression is gaining ground here that she is prolonging the negotiations with the aim of pastponing the day when she must reach a decision. The treaty of Bucharest which end- ed the Balkan conflict following the victory over Turkey was signed August 10, 1913, between Bulgaria on the one hand and Rumania, Greece and Mon- tenegro on the other. By the treaty the Rumano-Bulga- rian frontier starts from the Danube above Turtukai, and ends on the Black Sea south of ¥Ekrane. The Serbo-Bulgarian frontier starts from the Patarica Mountain, continues along the old Turca-Bulgarian fron- tier and the watershed between the Varda and the Sturma and ends at the mouhtain of Belashictza. The Greco-Bulgarian front starts on the crest of the Belasictza Range and ends at the mouth of the River Nestor on the Aegean Sea.
