King Abandons Trip, King Constantine of Greece has abandoned his proposed visit to Sal- oniki, it being concluded, it is said, that an exchange of official calls with allied commanders there might be misconstrued. The situation at Gorizia is critical for the Austrians, according to ad- vices from Brescia, which state that the Italians are now attacking Aus- trian inner lines, their heavy guns cutranging the Austrian artillery. Strong positions were taken on Mon- day, in an infantry attack, and the heavy bombardment was then re- &umed, it is said. iy Franco-Serbian Success Franco-Serbian successes in south- ern Serbia probably have rendered un- tenable the Kumanovo-Vranya line of the Bulgarians along the Nish- $Saloniki 'road, according to a Saloniki despatch.

This communication is being effect- ed in northeastern corner of Serbia, where the distance between the Hun- garian and Bulgarian frontiers is only forty miles in a direct line, The dispatch describes the Austrian occupation of Tekia, which was ac- complished after a bombardment last- dpg many hours, Austrian troops crossing the Danube in eighty boats.

These ministers, the Hestia says, have complained to Premier Zaimis of Greece that the presence of foreign troops in Greek Macedonia is con- trary to a spirit of neutrality and places the Bulgarian forces operating in Serbian Macedonia in a difficult sit- uation. M. Zaimis recalled the fact ‘that Greece had protested to the allies at the time of the first landing of troops. Since making this reply to Turkey and Bulgaria, the question has not been discussed, but it is expected fur- ‘ther representations will be made to Greece. The Bulgarian newspapers are con- ducting a campaign against the Saloniki. 12:256 P. M.—The the MAY LEAVE UNION, Musicians State That They May Quit Because Of Troubie. Some of the prominent musicians in this city, members of the Musicians Union, action taken by the stage hands’ union are highly incensed over the at the Lyceum theater in attempting to compel them to back them up in their strike by refusing to play, and several are outspoken in their deter- mination to get out of the union should this come to pass. This is the outcome of the strike at the theater in which the stage hands are holding out against Man- ager Lynch. In an attempt to strengthen their cause an order has been issued to the musicians to refuse to play at the theater. The local musicians union is not affiliated with the Central Labor Union and although an attempt has been made to line them up, it has thus far proved unsuccessful, it is said. Manager Lynch had a conference with the Central Labor Union night. It is said Mr. Lynch wanted the union to accept as members the stage hands he now employs but this proposition is not acceptable to the labor men. PLAN COLD STORAGE HOUSE. Tocal Capitalists Have Project in View ‘Which Will Give An Added Asset. If the plans of several local business men work out satisfactory, the city will soon be equipped with a cold storage plant, which has been badly needed here for a number of years. It is reported that those at the head of the project have their eyes cast on railroad property which can be leased at a reasonable price for a number of years. The need of such a building here has been felt by many merchants who handle wares of a delicate nature who if provision could be made for hand- ling larger quanities by cold storage, would be enabled to do business in a more satisfactory manner, RUMANIA WITH RUSSIA.

She has a bad temper, Dr. Greenberg said, and use to fly into a passion when he remonstrated against her using powder on her face and rouge on her lips.

Opegarde since last February and who acted as broker in”the sale to Fay of some of the explosive ingredients, is quoted today as saying that two months ago he sold to Breitung 360 pounds of potassium chlorate for $110 Two weeks ago, he said Dr. Herbert Kienzle asked him to buy 100 pounds of trinitro toluol for Fay and that Dr. Kienzle introduced him to Fay. He said that he obtained twenty- . detectives five pounds of the chemical and sold ] it to Fay. “Fay admitted he wanted to blow up something with the T. N.

The plot became known to the au- thorities when the man from whom Sieb bought his chemicals reported the purchases of explosives to the French naval attache here and he in turn notified the police. Fay gave a detailed confession to William J. Flynn, chief of the secret service. In it, according to the fed- eral authorities, he repeated his for- mer confession made to the police at Weehawken, N.

London, Oct. 27, 10:20 a. m.—When Premier Asquith returns to the house of commons tomorrow he will be asked by Annan Bryce whether unoffi- clal exchanges of views have been car- ried on between Berlin and London with the possible object of the con- clusion of an early peace and whether inquiries of similar nature have been made by official representatives of any neutral power. Mr. Asquith also will be asked whether he still adheres to the declaration in his Guildhs'! speech that Great Britain should r -~ -heath her sword until “The frece'*m -~ Eu- rope was secured.” Another of the many questions to be addressed to the premier is whether, in view of the defiance of interna- tional law by the German emporor in ordering wholesale destruction of pri- vate property of civilians in this coun- try by Zeppel the government will take and sequest-rate priv England of the Gern emveror and ruler man and hold them for present and future damage caused by air te securities in n — \ WEATHER.
