SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 18.-A striking
proclamation to the Bulgarian nation has
been issued by King Ferdinand. In it he
recounts the suffering of the Macedonian
Christians and the efforts of the Euro
pean powers to obtain better treatment
for them and finally says that he has
called his people to arms only after the
patience of the Balkan nations has been
exhausted.
The proclamation opens with a refer
ence to King Ferdniand's peaceful reign
of twenty-five years and says he had
hoped that it would have so continued,
but Providence judged otherwise.
"The moment has come when the Bul
garian race is called upon to renounce
the benefits of peace arid to have ' re
course to arms for the solution of the
great problem," the king says." "Beyond
the Rilo and Rhodope, mountains our
brothers in biood and 'religion have not

of life that are bearable. ....... . . . .

Gives His Life to
Save That of Girl
He Had Never Seen
GARY, Ind., Oct. 18. "I guess I'm some
good after all."
Billy Rugh, the 41-year-old cripple,
whose withered leg was amputated to
save the life of a girl by a skin-grafting
operation at a hospital her, spoke these
words this morning and then died.
Pneumonia was sad by the physicians
to have been the cause of death. The
ailment however resulted directly from
self-sacrifice, having been due to irrita
tion of the lungs by the ether that was
given when the leg was cut off to fur
nish skin for the body of a person whom
he had never seen.
Rugh had no relatives and since coming
to Gary, a tramp several years ago, he
had made his living selling newspaper
on the streets. He had to be trusted for
the first bundle of papers with which he
started business.
The girl, Miss Ethel Smith, for whom he
secrificed his leg and later his life, had
been terribly burned in a motorcycle acci
dent. It Is Just two days since her re
covery advanced sufficiently to permit
her. removal hpme from the hospital In
which Rugh died.

Our love of peace is now- exhausted.! TeregramJ-The Preafcyteri&ik synod.i hr

changes in the operation of field work.
The home mission , committee ' was env
powered to redistrict the state for the
purposes of field operations and to use
Presbyterial evangelists at their discre

their labors are ordinarily exercised. The
report was made by Rev. Nathaniel Mc

Sunday school work was given great
Impetus at this afternoon's educational
Institute. It waa in the nature of a set

Sunday school efficiency campaign and

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 18. (Special Tele
gram.) The hearing in the district court
of Lancaster county on an application
for a writ of mandamus to compel the
secretary of state to place on the election
ballot the names ot the Taft republican
electors, came on late this afternoon
before District Judges Cosgrave, Cornish
and Stewart.
John Lee Webster, appeared as chief
counsel for the republican state com
mittee, assisted by A. W. Jtffrles of
Omaha and F. M. Hall of Lincoln, while
Deputy Attorney General Ayers looked
after the interests of the secretary of
state, assisted by C. C. Flansburg of
Lincoln, in the capacity of a "friend"
of the court.
Mr. Webster presented affidavits show
ing that the six republican electors had
been certified to the secretary of state as
the regular nominees of he republican
party, and that the three days having ex
pired, required by law for the filing of a
protest, that there ws nothing else under
the law for the secretary of state to do
but to put the names on the ballot aa
the nominees of the republican party. To
show that a vacancy existed on the ballot
and that the committee had a right to
fill that vacancy, Mr. Webster read the
la wwhlch, substantially, is that the elec
tors, If elected to represent one party, if
they supported the candidates of another
party which had a platform opposed to
the other, that that act vacated the of
fice. To subsantlate thin Mr. Webstei
cited court decisions from a dozen dif
ferent states covering the Identical point
in controversy. ,
Webster's Argument.
In presenting the case to the court Mr.
Webster said: . . 1
.ii'.At tbft iim when th- Rdmarle- were
held which nominated presidential elec
tors there' were ."hut' two .prominent po
litical parties, the rtfwblleafl ! barty 'aiid
the democratic party. '" There may have
been individual preferences as to who
should be the nominees of the national
republcian convention, but .these Individ
ual preferences were subordinate to the
combined will of the convention, both as
to the principles which should be em
bodied in Its national platform and as to
the persons who should be selected as its
standard bearers.- This was as true, of
the republican party as It then was Of
the democratic party. There was not a
voter in the state of Nebraska who at
that time would have dared to have made
the suggestion that a republican presi
dential elector would vote for the demo
cratic nominees for president and vice
president nor that the presidential elec
tors on the democratic ticket . should vote
for the republican nominees for' president
atid vice president.
'The progressive party, commonly
called the bull moose party, was not then
In existence. It is not possible In the
nature of things that it at that time
could have been In the mind of any one
of the presidential electors that the pro
gressive convention would be held, or

four gunmen charged with the actual
murder, testified yesterday as a state's
witness ave rse to rumors that "Lefty
Louie" Rosenberg had a confession to
make and would likewise go over to the
side of the state. This had been reported
from time to time, however, without con

lawyers expressed satisfaction at Justice
Goff's decision yesterday, barring any
testimony tending to show that Beckei
had fattened his modest policeman's

torney Hart opened for the defense. Ad
dressing the Jury ho said in part:
Talks for Beeker.
"The defendant does not intend to let
the case rest where It Is. He intends to
convince you gentlemen of the Jury, not
only that he Is not guilty, but that he is
an Innocent man.
"We contend "that the defendant Is In
no way connected with the gunmen who
committed this murder. The chief wit
nesses, aside from alleged accomplces.
are Luban, the convict; Hallen, the self
confessed forger, and Margolls, the self
confessed perjurer.
"As to Luban, who claims to have wit
nessed this murder, we will prove that
Luban never saw the murder; that he
was In Brooklyn at the time. We will
prove this by Luban's owh brother. 'We
will prove that Webber, Rose and Vallon
and Schepps conspired to kill Rosenthal
Independently of Beclcer, each with his
own Independent motive for so doing."
William T. Jerome, the first witness,
said he and Hart the evening after the
murder, went' to the Bar association,
where they engaged a private room.
"Becker came in about 8 o'clock,"
Jerome said, but he wad not permitted to
testify that he had heard Becker hold a
telephone conversation with any one, or
call Jack Rose- on the telephone.
"Did you hear him fay 'No, you Ktay
right where" you are until you hear from
me?." asKed Mr. Hart.
Justice Goff sustained Moss' objection
for the state and Instructed Hart to dis
continue this line of examination.
' The court then dismissed Jerome and
Police Commissioner Waldo testified next.
"Did you direct Becker to raid Herman
Rosenthal's gambling house in April ot
this year?" was asked.
' "Yes; I directed him to obtain evidence
against Rosenthal and others, and he
raided the place."
"It is stated that after the raid," said
Mclntlre, "a policeman was stationed at
Rosenthal's place."
' "Yes. I directed that a man be stationed
there." '
