Bulgaria’s Enemies Judge’s Compliment Relent; intercede ! Pacifies Women Who For Conquered Ally Battled With Fists Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. BUCHARF:ST. Aug. 6— Sympathy may yet prevent Bulgaria from los ing all the spoils she won in the Turko-Balkan war. Premier Pasitch. of Servia, and Premier Venizelos, of Greece, to-day wired their respective sovereigns for permission to extend the Bulgarian ijj-ontier so as to In clude a big area of the territory in Northeastern Macedonia which was taken away from Turkey. It had been the original intention of the Servians and Greeks to punish Bulgaria for the atrocities of her sol diers by refusing to allow the Bulgars to profit by the war. So eloquently did the Bulgarian peace representatives plead their cause and so graphically did they paint the sufferings undergone by the | Bulgarians in the war with Turkey I to secure victory for the Balkan league that the Serb and Greek en- • voys ieleuLed. When Mrs. J. T. King. No. 144 Piedmont avenue, ami Mrs. M. Green berg. No. 6 Warren place, w'ere ar raigned in Police Court. Wednesday as the result of a fight in the former's home. Recorder Pro Tern Preston sought to pacify them, remarking that “good-looking women like you two ought not to be fighting this way.” The compliment went home, both women smiling their thanks. Mrs. King said it was all the fault of Mrs. Greenberg. Mrs. Greenberg declared Mrs. King was to blame. They fell out over some sewing and used their fists. Mrs. King pushed Mrs. Greenberg out of the house and shut the door. Mrs. Greenberg is said to have kicked the glass out ol a window. Other witnesses sjfid Mrs. Green berg was the aggressor. Judge Preston fin^d her $5.75, dismissing the case of Mrs. King. I The filibuster in the House against the resolution of Kidd, of Baker, which instructed the Temperance Committee io report back the Hixon- Searcv bill for action, and by which Wohlwender, of Muscogee, consumed the entire time of the House Tues day. came to an end Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock wdth victory resting with the forces against the bill. In response to a point of order raised by Stewart, of Coffee, Speaker Burwell ruled that Kidd's resolution was net in order for consideration Wednesday, and the efforts of the temperance forces to force a hearing on the bill were therefore in vain. The point raised by Mr. Stewart was that, inasmuch as the resolution was introduced Tuesday and specifi cally called upon the Temperance Committee to report the bill back “to-morrow," it was asking the com mittee to perform a physical impos sibility, and was therefore not In or der. Wright Objects to Decision. Wright, of Floyd, who is generally credited with being behind Mr. Kidd in the introduction of the resolution, protested vigorously against the de- sion of the Speaker. “Doesn’t the Speaker intend to hear those who favor this resolution?” he demanded. “You are out cf order.” the Speaker replied. “The resolution has been ruled out of order, and is not now- un der discussion.” Representative Wohlwender, back ed by Myrick and Shuptrine, of Chat ham; Nunnally, of Floyd, and others of the anti-dry forces, appeared when the House convened to-day determin ed to continue the filibuster until Mr. Kidd consented to withdraw his res olution. This Mr. Kidd and the tem perance cohorts absolutely refused ta do. Stewart Then Finds Loophole. Conferences between the prohis and the antis were numerous, but barren of result, and It looked as though the filibuster would continue, with the anti-dry people holding the whip hand indefinitely, when Mr. Stewart found the loophole through which the resolution was riddled. The effect of the resolution and the filibuster has been to draw the line sharply between the anti-dry and the temperance forces, and to smother the more important question of tax revision. The victory of the antis precludes the possibility of the Searcy bill getting a hearing at this session inasmuch as the Rules Committee takes charge and no resolutions sim ilar to the Kidd resolution can be introduced. Claims Anti-Tax Plot. Mr. Wohlwender. whose strong lungs and determination defeated the resolution, voiced the opinion Wed nesday morning that the resolution was an outgrowth of the tax revision fight. “Sheppard, of Sumter; Stovall, of Elbert, and the others Who are fight ing tax revision were behind the res olution,” declared Mr. Wohlwender “They hoped to get that bill brought oyt because they knew if the House once got busy on it no tax measures could be passed at this session." Minister Accused of Accepting $1,500 From Own Brother,Who Was Friendly With Wife. MACON. Aug. 6.—The Rev. E. T. Moore, a Baptist ministei^, at Ander- sonville, formerly of Macon. is charged by Attorney Oliver C. Han cock, in a suit brought in the city court of Americus. with extorting $1,500 from his own brother as a prlcj for silence in court as to his brother's alleged intimacy with Mrs. Moore. Last year Rev. Mr. Moore obtained a divorce from his wife in the Bibb Superior Court, after a hotly contest ed trial. He charged her wdth being unfaithful. One of the alleged co respondents swore to improper rela tions with Mrs. Moore, who is a strik ingly handsome woman of about 35 years. It is now charged that Rev. Mr. Moore found his own brother and Mrs. Moore in a compromising posi tion and that he threatened his broth er, who was about to be married, with exposure unless given $1,500. Attorney Hancock alleges that he can prove the facts and the actual payment of the money. TJUa xharge fqnpfi part of a suit brought for the recovery of a fee for legal services. Mr. Hancock claims that Rev. Mr. Moore has not only re fused to pay him for services in pro curing the divorce, but also borrowed $50 while the case was pending which he also refuses to repay. Mrs. Moore now' is living with h a r parents at'Eufaula, Ala., and the two children are temporarily in her cus tody. Rev. Mr. Moore, while here, re. sided in the Mercer University com munity and was highly esteemed both as a man and a minister. Word by T.R. Worth Army Under Wilson, Says Gov. Johnson LOS ANGELES, Aug 6.—Criticism of the course of the Wilson Adminis tration was contained in an address by Governor Hiram Johnson, who was the Vice Presidential candidate on the Progressive ticket last year, speaking at the firs4 anniversary cel ebration of the Progressives. “The National Administration has not come up to expectations.” said Governor Johnson. “We have a for eign policy that is weak and vacil lating.

Mystery in Death of Rich Man in Memphis MEMPHIS. TENN.. Aug. 6.—The body of J. M. Hughes, wealthy lum berman of Senatobia, Miss., was found in the basement of a furniture store to-day. Hughes came to Mem phis yesterday and was at the store in the afternoon. The police ar** not sure whether he was murdered or fell through an ele vator shaft. When Jim Conley left the witness stand Wednes day, the State’s case against Leo Frank, charged with the murder of Mary Phagan, practically was completed. So far as the presentation of direct evidence against the factory superintendent was concerned, the jury was in posession of practically every piece of testimony. Solicitor Dorsey announced when court reconvened in the afternoon that he proposed to call only one or two new witnesses. It was predicted that even these would be prevented from testifying as the result of Judge Roan’s expected ruling on the line of testimony that they were expected to give. Witness Dalton Is Excused. One of the new witnesses was C. B. Dalton, who was called at the forenoon session, but excused after a mysterious side-bar conference. Dalton was to tell of the alleged conduct of Frank at the factory on occasions to which Conley already had referred in his testimony. With the testimony of Dalton ruled out, as well as that of young George Epps, whom Dorsey proposed to recall and ques tion concerning remarks of Mary Phagan in respect to Frank’s conduct, the probability was strong at the opening of the after noon session that Dr. H. F. H-iris and possibly one other witness would be the only ones called by the State before closing the presentation of direct evidence. Dr. Harris collapsed when on the stand last Friday before the Solicitor had completed his questioning and before Reuben Arnold had been given the-opportunity for cross-examination. The Solici tor planned to quiz Dr. Harris more closely concerning the condi tion of the young girl’s body and organs and also to bring out more in detail the physician’s conclusion that the girl must have been killed within half an hour after she left home because of the undi gested condition of the cabbage he found in her stomach. Hot Argument Over Excluding Testimony. The fight to exclude Conley’s testimony in regard to Frank's alleged conduct proved one of the exciting incidents of the morn ing session. The argument was still in progress when court ad journed for the noon recess. That and Conley’s sensational declar ation that Frank }iad hid the murder victim’s silver-plated mesh bag, for which the detectives have been searching for months, in the safe in the factory office immediately after the crime were tha features of the day. The jury was sent away at noon to permit the lawyers to ar gue on the admissibility of Conley’s testimony in respect to Frank’s conduct. Solicitor Dorsey said he wished to call Dalton and oth ers to substantiate it. Reuben Arnold argued that it was inadmissible because irrele vant and immaterial, and that it was a violation of the general? principle in law that because A committed X last year, it can not be introduced to show that he committed X of which he is now accused. Early Ruling Is Promised. i Combating the contention of Attorney Hooper that the objec tion of the defense had not been made until the lawyers for Frank had cross-examined the negro and found that they could get no reversal of statements from him, Arnold cited cases in a large number of States indicating that it is a well defined privilege thati testimony may be stricken out at the instance of the defense even after the cross-examination has taken place. Judge Roan said that he would make his ruling early in the afternoon session. Colonel Arnold grew faint during the argument and got the judge’s consent to talk sitting. Attorney Rosser’s manner was angry and threatening when he arose for the re-cross examination. He began at once a vicious at tack on Conley’s story of the mesh bag. He asked when Conley first told this remarkable tale. Conley said he couldn’t remember, “Why didn’t you tell all thi3 when you were telling ‘the whole
