BELGRADE, Borvia. Aug. 10. According
to the latest reports received here regard
ing the murder of the Russian consul at

LON90N, Aug. 10. The Balkan situation

It was stated today by a diplomat In a

There were grave grievances arising from
a deep-seated' disease.' He deplored the
nonsuccess of their efforts to deal with
the situation, but was still hopeful that the
plan recently designed by Russia and
Austria would prove the best way of set
tling it. It was, therefore, the duty of
the rest of Europe to support 'Them as
long as their efforts' were directed In no
ambitious spirit to the amelioration of the
lot of the' population of Macedonia.
It must sorrowfully be admitted that the
revolutionary bands themselves were one
of the chief obstacles to the success of
Europe's efforts. The lurid picture drawn
of the condition of Macedonia By his Inter
rogator, Mr. Bryce, was not painted in
colors any too dark. ' Between the out

an exchange of views between the, powers

consuls In the Balkans predicted the pres.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. (Special Tele
gramsThe forty-ninth annual convention
of the International Typographical union
convened today with almost every union
represented. Among the delegates present
are: J. M. White, Herman Matthes, I. J.
Copenharve, Omaha; J. W. Gorman, Coun
cil Bluffs; J. W. Warpel and E. O. Achley,
Des Moines; Frederick Hunier. Lincoln,
and O. F. Grant of Lead, S. 1). The Wom
an's International auxiliary, which was
formed a year ago in Cincinnati to aid the
union in its work of promoting social in
tercourse and charity. Is represented by
tha International president, Mrs. Frank
A. Kennedy; Mrs. Herman Matthes ond
Mrs. Effls L. Matthews ot Omaha, and
Mrs. Fred Hunger of Lincoln, who are dele
gates to the second International conven
tion of the woman's auxiliary.
At the opening session of the main con
vention today a large majority of the 215
delegates was present.
Chairman Whitehead of the local com
mittee on arrangements presided, while
by his side sat Secretary Corte'you of the
Department of Commerce and Labor, Pub
llo Printer Palmer and a number of other
prominent men.
The services were opened with prayer
by Rev. George R. MayUweH, pastor of
Waugh Methodist Episcopal church, who
was formerly a printer. He was followed
by Commissioner McFarland, who deliv
ered the address of welcome and he in turn
by Willis Moore, chief of the weather
bureau. Mr. Moore was at one time a
printer and he spoke as one of the craft,
congratulating tha union upon its strength.
upon the progress made and the influence
exerted. He spoke, also, of the president
of the United States as a friend of labor
and congratulated the convention . upon
that fact. '
Welcomed by Local Inlon.
Vice President Dan F. Vaughan of the
local union also weloomed the visitors.
President James M. Lynch responded to
the welcoming addresses. He expressed
the opinion that in a few years the union
would number 100,000 members and closed
by formally calling the meeting to order.
The routine proceedings began with the
reading of the list of delegates by the sec
re tar y. Included In the lUt was the name
of Miss Csrrle E. Cathcart of St. Joseph,
Mo.
The members then took the usual pledge
not to become members of any organiza
tion inimical to the interests of the typo,
graphical union.
Report of President Lynch.
The report of President James M. Lynch
was presented to the assembled delegates.
He says the last year has been a notable
one, not only for the International Typo
graphical union, but for organized labor in
general. The spirit of organization, he says,
has prevailed in trades and callings hitherto
almost unknown, while the older organiza
tions have made steady progress and gained
in membership.
ConUnulng, the report says that the field
bf the International Typographical union Is
necessarily somewhat circumscribed .and In
the main lies in the smaller cities and
towns. " The locality of any considerable im
portance without a typographical union Is
tare. The report dwells on the benefits ac
cruing from organization and Mr. Lynch
urges the adoption ot some plan whereby
the Isolated printer working in localities
supporting from one to six brother artisans,
but not enough .to make an organization.
can be reached. To reach such cases he
suggests that such men be attached to the
parent body.
During the Industrial crisis brought about
by tho vast Increase In the number of trade
adherents. Mr. Lynch says the International
Typographical union has been fortunate 1n
preserving its equilibrium and has pursued
a calm and peaceful course.
Tolerant Spirit Is Better.
Tho report expresses regret at the tend
ency on the part of trade unionists to make
light of unions of employers and questions
whether It would not be better to display a
tolerant spirit toward them in the hope of
establishing friendship. "Surely," he says,
we cannot deny to others the right which
we claim the right to organise and it Is
not aside from the probabilities that
through this era of organization may come
the era of peace."
Mr. Lynch observes that the work for the
future Ilea in the extension of the work and
scope ot the International Typographical
union by added benefits to its members In
the way of financial relief, the renewal of
a demand for better sanitary conditions of
the work room, insistence on the proper
Instructions for apprentices and the ad
vancement of the union label. "Above all,'
he said, "there should be an effort to en
courage a system of education that would
bring to our membership a knowledge of
the conditions which surroundthem and en
able them to defend their position as trade
unionists and members of a great Interna
tional organisation."
Dispotes Generally Fairly Settled.
The report refers to me arbitration agree
ment with the American Newspaper Pub
lishers' association, which has been in force
for more than two years, and says that all
hut tn dinniita have been settled In A
r -
fairly satisfactory manner, and that there
is a much better general feeling existing
between the two organizations. The Inter
national Typographical union, he says, was
the first to negotiate a general arbitration
agreement, and he adds that thus far the
union has carried it out faithfully and with
an earnest desire to promote and make se
cure industrial peace with nonunion em
ployers. "If, however," the report says,
"the arbitration agreement is Juggled with
by unscrupulous individuals and made tha
vehicle for unjust and questionable deci
sions, through the connivance o( any In
terested party, then the cause ot arbltraUon
and necessarily the cause of industrial
peace, will receive a blow from which re
covery will not be possible tor years."

Kndt,
PARIS, Aug. 10. The Humbert trial to
day drew another large crowd to the Palais
de Justice.
Mm. Theresa Humbert continued to
dominate the proceedings and created sev
eral scenes when the court attempted to
examine the other members of the family.
M. Bonnet,, the presiding Judge, Instated
on examining Frederio Humbert, her hus
band, but Mme. Therese,. rising, said:
'I demand to- be heard. I am strong to
day and will explain where the millions
are."-. ...
The. judge, however, proceeded with the
examination of the other defendants, de
spite Mme. Humbert's constant Interrup
tions. During Judge Bonnet's searching In
terrogation of her husband Mme. Thereso
dramatically exclaimed:
Mme. Humbert 1 pbralds Judge.
"Monsieur, the President: Tou are
clearly showing by your manner that you
are against us. You should disguise your
feelings and try to appear Impartial."
The spectators were greatly amused at
this outburst. The judge ordered Mme.
Humbert to desist, but she again shouted:
"Tou are continually showing your preju
dice."
Frederic Humbert testified lengthily re
garding the affairs of the Rente Viagere,
the insurance concern which the Humberts
started and In which hundreds of poor
people lost their savings. He maintained
that the business was conducted In good
faith and said that public prejudice
was aroused against the Humbert fam
ily and brought about the' failure of
the concern. He emphatically denied the
judge's statement that the rooms In the
palatial residence of the Humberts in the
Avenue de la Grande Arme were con
nected by a system of secret telephones.
Mme. Therese here also exclaimed: "Lies,
more Ilea."
Frederic Humbert said he had devoted
much of his time to art and poetry, leaving
the entire financial operations to his wife.
Brother Also Examined.
Romaln Durlgnac said Mme. Therese com
missioned' Mm to trace the whereabouts
of the Crawford brothers. "' Once, ' he said,
when-' Henry ' Crawford' visited their resi
dence, he followed him to the Grand Hotel
du Louvre, in the Rue de Rlvoll, and lo
cated the room occupied by Robert and
Henry Crawford. The former was sick
In bed and refused to get up, but Henry
came to the door and after a brief con
versation accepted copies of some legal
papers.
The judge sought to obtain an admission
that Romaln himself impersonated the
Crawfords and Instituted suits in their
name, but the defendant denied this.
Mme. Humbert also Joined in protesting
her Innocence. -
"I have tried to find the Crawfords and
their millions," she said. "I have not suc
ceeded In finding the money, but I have
found the Crawfords. They have made a
terrible revelation to me. I have told
Maltre Labor! all. He knows the real
name of tho Crawfords, for they don't
pall themselves by the name of Crawford.
"No tone 'Wlir suffer any loss. I will pay
every on. Perhaps the Crawfords may
never appear, but they exist. It Is only
their name that does not exist."
. Where Are the Crawfords? .
The judge, interrupting her, asked':
"Then where are the Crawfords T"
"If the Crawfords don't come here I will
glsje their name and that will suffice," re
plied Mme. Therese. "I have already told
Maltre Laborl that " when the witnesses
have been heard and the hearing Is con
cluded I will tell all."
There was a profound silence In the court
during Mme. Humbert's declaration, but
her final words, again pnttlng off the prom
ised disclosures, aroused derisive laughter.
When the judge suggested that the state
ment was vague, Maltre Laborl answered:
"But Mme. Humbert engages herself to
speak at the close of the hearing."
The court then began the examination of
the ninety witnesses called, outside the
family, which will occupy many days.
