WASHINGTON, April 1.—Elevator op* erators in the state department no longer will be compelled to remain on duty while the secretary of state remain m the Igyilding. Secretary Bryan believes when an elevator conductor has worked eight hours it is time for him to quit for the day. Incidentally he is of the opinion that walking down a ccuple of flights of stairs will work no hardship on a government official. Recently Mr. Bryan was detained in his office until 6:30 in the evening, two hours after the clerks had left the building. When the secretary came out of his of fice he started for the stairs. But the ele vator man who runs the lift nearest Mr. Bryan’s office was still on duty. "What hours do you work?" asked the secretary. "From 8:45 a. m. until 4:45 p. m." said the man. •"Well it is now after 6:30. You ought to have been home long ago." "But it is against the rule to leave when the secretary is in the building," explained the operator. "Well, it is not necessary for you to remain while this secretary is detained after hours," said Mr. Bryan with em phasis. "Besides, it won't hurt any gov ernment official to walk down two flights of stairs." UNCLE SAM COUNTING WEALTH ON “FOOL'S" DAY (By Associated Press.)

Correspondent Tells How Bulgarians Took City of Adrianople (By Associated Press.) PARIS, April 3.—A correspondent of The Journal sends an account ot the storming of Adrianople in a dis patch dated Adrianople, March 28. He says the collapse, after a forty-eight hours’ assault of the fortress, which had resisted the efforts of t:ie besieg ers fv»r five months is soon explainea. When the allies get within the lines the "terrible" forts, which were sup posed to have thick walls of concrete, turned ,out to be more or less imagin ary. The so-called "Ihdestruclible ’ Alvas Vabieh, the key of the defense was really only of brick construction. During the siege Shukri Pasha had m w re heavy guns than the investing armies and by moving cnem was able to crush the fire on the side attacked. On March 24, however, General Ivanhoff ordered a general attack from all sides. The only point • where the fight was slack was opposite Alvas Tabi> h. There Ivanhoff massed 25,- 000 picked troops. Their first operation was to carry with the bayonet the Tur kish advanced positions at Maslak. The Turkish artillery at Aivas Tazleh open ed a terrific fire on Maslak and two Bulgarian batteries were wiped out. Tho Bulgarians then directed elgnty heavy siege pieces on Avias Tabieh, which soon became a shapeless mass of crumbling masonry. Meanwhile, the Bulgarian infantry crept cautiously forward ready to rush the fort from which the firm bed prac tically ceased at nigtfaU. When the supreme moment arrived General Ivan- hoff ordered four regiments to ad vance. The Twenty-Third got through the barbed wire entanglements by throwing their coats across .ae wires. The Turks bolted, abandoning their posi tions. The Twenty-Third rushed into Fort Alves Tabieh and immediately the Bulgarian field guns and mortars rushed up and took positiones. These and the guns in the forts were turned on the other Turkish defenses, attached on tho flank, made slight resistances. In the meantime, two Bulgarian regi ments entered the city in triumph, # with colors flying and bayonets fixed. At lo o’clock in the morning, Shukri Pasha, who had hoisted the white flag on the watch tower and sent out flags of truce to ask for a cessation of hosti*.Jes was taken prisoner before any of his mes sengers returned.

H811(1801118 Sim An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that the reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of applicants do not even suspect that they have the disease. He states that judging from his own experience and reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has probably been more successful in re lieving and curing these diseases than any remedy known.

LOUISVILLE, Ky„ April 2.—-A large warehouse of th© Rugby Distillery com pany in the western end of the city weakened by flood waters, collapsed late last night, releasing to the river about 5,000 barrels of whisky valued at a quarter of a million dollars. A dam hastily constructed saved a num ber of the barrels. The threatened collapse of weakened buildings was the only source of anx iety today as the crest of the flood passed Louisville at a stage of 45.1 early today. At 8 o’clock the river had fallen back to 45, but it was be lieved it would remain nearly station ary at this stage for twenty-four hours. Life-saving crews and firemen were prepared to continue their work of anchoring houses that appeared threatened. Lower river points today continued to experience rising waters. Paducah, with water standing mow than two feet deep in the lower sections of the city, faced the menace of a useless lighting plant. Henderson and Owens boro, safe from flood damage them selves, were taxed with the care of hourly increasing refugees.

Carolina Governor Declaresl That He Will Preserve Good j Feeling Among Military, COLUMBIA, S. C., April 2.—In dis missing the complaint lodged with him against Major Joseph R. Allen by seven officers of his batallion of the South Carolina national guard, Governor Blease says: "It ordered and adjudged, that the complaint be dismissed, and it is requested that order and harmony shall prevail in the ranks of the militia. And, as commander-in-chief, I will pos itively disband the next company that comes up with this internecine strife, and will, if threre be any military way to do so, relievfe from office the next officer guilty of the least breach of discipline tending to cause strife amoiuc his brother officers or the privates with in his ranks. "This is all said and done in good spirit, with ill will towards none, with love for the militia and love for the men, but it takes harsh measures to stop this strife and dissension, and harsh measures will be used. "I hope that this will be an end to this strife and to this bickering, and If it is not to be the end, I desire, in my closing sentence, to advise those who are not satisfied to resign before they are requested to do so."
