He will later go to Lon- don and it is probable that he will visit the United States. Interviewed to- | day he said he thought that war be- | tween Turkey and Bulgaria next spring was inevitable, and that Servia would co-operate with Bulgaria. He said that the scheme of reforms in | Macedonia formulated by the Austrian | and Russian Governments and formal- | lv consented to by doomed to failure. The general said the belief prevailed in Servia that Austria would outwit Russia and that Austria was now se- cretly preparing to occupy Macedonia. This extension of Austrian influence | in Macedonia was greatly dreaded in | Servia. Meanwhile Bulgaria was steadily preparing for war and had re- cently received 50,000 Mannlicher ri- fles and large quantities of munijions of war. | @ il @ WAVE DISTURBS A POKER GAME, the Porte was | Invades the Smoking-Room of Ocean Liner and Washes Jack Pot Off the TableJ i | an | a .

While his plan met with some opposition fron: those who were against the one-man power, it found much favgr. A motion was made io indorse the plan, but a sub-motion that it be referred to a committee to report “upon it at the next annual meeting of the convention prevailed. Chairman Clark appointed Stephens of Fresno, Ing of Sacramento, Quinn' of Watsonville, Drees of Peta- luma and Brown of San Jose. Secre- tary Mason expressed the opinion that in years to come a purchasing agent for all the cities of the State would be located at San Francisco. “Such a man,” he said, ‘“should re- ceive $20,000 a year, but he would be worth it; he would save that much to the cities in fire hose alone.” A paper by Mayor Snyder of Los Angeles, advocating crematories for garbage, also provoked considerable dlscussion, most of the delegates favor- ing the plan.
