Sofia, April 17.—Military rule was
established today in Bulgaria as a re
sult of the communist bomb outrage
at the Svetlkrat cathedral. A number
of arrests were made in the effort to
tound up the radicals responsible for
the deaths of from 30 to 100 persons
and the wounding of at least 200
others.
General Dnvidoff, General XerzofT
and former Ambassador Koloughcff
today were identified as victims of
the bombing, timed to take Its toll of
lives during the funeral services for
Gen. Rosin Gheorghieff, victim of an
assassin Tuesday.
Premier Wounded.
Th# wounded Included Premier
Tsankoff, AA'ar Minister Kalkoff, the
may of Sofia, Archbishop Stephan
and General Bazaroff, commandant
of th# city garrison.
The infernal machine exploded Just
as the funeral procession reached the
main doors of the cathedral. The
building was almost, completely
ruined.
The ruins of the picturesque old
cathedral were the scene of wildest
frenzy today as relatives and friends
of the missing. and unidentified
searched the wreckage for the vic
tims. The dead and wounded, the
accurate number of which remained
undetermined, were still lying in the
open square In front of the eathedra)
and in the aisles of the old edifice.
Troops Cheek Rioting.
Rioting and pillaging were checked
by large numbers of troops.
A government statement today said
that the assassin of Prof. Nicola Mi
lieff, who was slain last February,
had been found dead on the spot
where he had killed Milieff. He left a
note, the statement said, saying the
executions were ordered by the 51a
-edoninns, whose chief Milieff was.
The ca'thedral has become a morgue.
It was estimated that the greater
part of the dead and wounded, mostly
women and children, vere still buried
in the wreckage.
Panic broke out following the ex
plosion. The laments of the mourn
er*. gathered in and around the
■ alhedral during (he funeral services
tor General Gheorghieff broke into
shrieks of fear as the whole front of
the cathedral fell into the huddled
crowd, carrying portions of the roof
ami sidewalls.
The government fears that public
opinion will call for violent reprisals
against the communists and the
agrarians.
Martial law is being strictly en
forced and all groups broken up.

"Eleven thousand former service
men In the Nebraska department of
the American Region have applied
to the 1'nited States veterans' bu
reau fur compensation.” declared
Judge Frank M. Dlneen, liaison of
ficer of the American Region, at the
Kiwanls club meeting at Hotel Home,
Friday.
“Of this number,” the Judge said,
“only about 3.tint) have been granted
relief. Recent passage of the amend
ment to the Reed Johnson bill by the
senate will relieve much distress."
Paralysis Case t iled.
Dlneen cited the case of Ressie
Thompson, Meadow drove, N'eb., who
entered the service January 3R RUG,
and served with the 127th field artil
lery In France and was discharged
January 20, 1919.
“After he was discharged he was
suddenly stricken with paralysis from
the waist down. He tried to help his
brother with farm work, even beg
ging hint to tie him to a cultivator so
that he wojild not fall off, in order
to help cultivate the fields,” said the
judge. He was found by an Omaha
man and removed to an Omaha hos
pital. where he stayed while his case
was reviewed.
Doctors hi ({iiandui'.v.
"lie had stated in his application
for compensation that lie had been
treated for a disease before he en
tered the army, but neither legion
clinic doctors nor bureau doctors
could agree that his ailment before
entering service was the cause of his
permanent disability. The case went
on for two years and still would be
going on If the recent amendment
had not been passed.”
Judge Dineen explained that the
amendment provided compensation to
veterans who were totally permanent
ly disabled, whether their disability
was from Injury or disease con
tracted in the line of duty or not, if
application had been made within n
year after discharge front the army.
