THIS BEK: OMAHA, SATVHDAY, FEHM'ARY 7, 1014. 5 GREECE ASKS FOR JUSTICE Six months have passed since the close of the second Balkan war, and the lib rarians nro apparently hopeful that much of the terrible Indictment that was brought against them by oil Europe has become a confused memory. They seem to feel that by declaring others to bo the perpetrators of their crimes they may win bellof. To that end they have Issued pamphleU bearing governmental authori zation and have sent them broadcast. These pamphlets contain laboriously con structed fabrications, false affidavits without number, and even the revival of charge? already disproved. Bulgaria Is In the position of the convicted criminal who cries from behind the bars that he Is Innocent tho victim of Judicial error or the conspiracy of his enemies. - The Bulgarians are convicted criminals. Their trial was as open as the crimes they commUted. They took no care to cover their traces or hide their unspeakablo In humanity. Therefore the witnesses were many apd tho conviction a foregono con clusion. We submit a few Items from the evidence upon which Is based their sen tence as outcasts from tho family of civ ilized nations. Tho following protest was cabled by the foreign missionaries In Salonlca to tho press of Europe and America. It Is dated July 23, 1913: "After their first defeat the Bulgarians began, In rovenge a Berles of moat horrible crimes against tho Greek noncombatants, who were entirely unprotected. Defeated at Negrlta by the Greek army, they turned In fury to tho burning and pil laging of the towns along the lino of their retreat and the massacre of the defence less peasants. In Negrlta over 700 persons were 'Slaughtered, many of the victims being women and children. Tho atrocity w as perpetrated by order of the Bulgarian army offices. "Two days before the evacuation of Dolranl the Bulgarians called a council, sending a summons to tho Greek bishop and thirty of the foremost cltlsens to attend. They were all detained by the Bulgarian authorities and fpr many days nothing further "was loarned of their fate. Later the mutliated .bodies of the. unfor tunate hostages were" found;' not one had been spared. "In EtroumnlUa the Bulgarians paused In their flight long enough to kill throe Greek peasants; a woman and sixteen Mohammeduns. They sacked the stores and threatened a general massacre. For tunately the Greek bishop was able to l.revent further butchery by declaring that he would not be responsible for the lives of the Bulgarians citizens of the town should the Greek troops see the shambles. "At Demlr-Hlssar the destruction of life and property was fiendish. A hun dred and four men and women were killed, among them a bishop and a priest. The Bulgarians resorted to the most revolting-forms of torture. Tho body of tho bishop was found horribly muti lated, his beard an hair torn from his head. Many of tho -lctlms wero fright fully dismembered and all of. the corpses ehowe'd unmlstakablo signs 'of 'hideous torture. The women and young girls were delivered over to tho soldiery.. , "It was nt Serres, however, that Bul garian savagery reached Its height;' After Its evacuation a detachment wussent back to bombard the town. Tho lhtfablt txiln fled panic stricken. A party of Bul garian officers and solders, assisted by the local Bulgarian authorities and a band of 'Irregular?,' entered and looted tho city, subsequently setting fire to tho houses,- which they drenched wlthpetro le.nm. Tho fleeing inhabitants were shelled by the artillery. In the ton Itself nothing was spared. The Austrian consul, together with the women and children who had nought refuge In the consulate, were dragged to the moun tains. The Italian consulate, alio suffered destruction. The flags of foreign powers were Ignored. The American flag, flying over the stores of the American Tobacco company, availed nothing. The man agers escaped to Salonlca, reporting a loss nearly a million dollars. Every man, woman and child caught In the streets or hiding within the looted houses was mercilessly slain. About $4,000 houses, a thousand stores, eighteen mosques and churches, all the schols, synagogues and hospitals are crumbling ruins today. The losses exceed (3,000,000. Twenty thousand people are destitute. "In the town of Ooxato, with a popu lation of about 3,000, 2,500 were killed and tho village reduced to ashes. The farms nil over the district aro wiped out and no one can determine tho number of murdered peasants. The Bulgarian army has left behind It a trail of utter devasta tion and misery. (Signed.) "BEV.

"Of the Greek Evangelical Church." Read what the Rev. Oustave MIchell. head of the French Catholic mission of Kllkls, has to say. The dispatch which we quote was bent by him to the press of Pars: "Most shocking crimes have been per petrated In. this town and throughout the surroudlng country by the Bulgarians. "With my own eyes I have seen .the mas sacra of helpless human beings. In the Milage of Kourkouf a band of Bulgarians headed by the bandit, Dontsloff, forced all the male population within the con fines of tho mosque, which they then burned to the ground, 2compell(ng, at the point of tho sword, the' women and children to witness tho frightful scene. Seven hundred men were burned alive. Those who tried tp escape were shot as they ran 1'haVc vis.ted Kourkouf and I have ceen the cu cd human remalncs. 1- offered money .ito starving women and was accuser ' . a. Bulgarian soldier of collecting human heads to send as curiosities to FVance. ''At I'lantza, the same band of maraud ers carried their deviUshnese to still greater lengths. Thoy drove the male inhabitants into the mosque, which they burned, compelling, as betore, the women to witness tho atrocious proceeding, Immediately after which the women wero stacked together and burned alive In the square before the ruins of tho mosque. In italnovo, men and women were sialn and the bod.es thrown Into the wells. At kiikis. tne iJiuganan in habitants destroyed the mosque and mas sailed their fellow townsmen of tne Moa lera faith . f)n xc.eral occasions I have held con' vone with Bulgarian comnitadJU.' With unbc.levuole callousness they boasted of the atrocities they had committed. Among the Irregulars I was surprised to 1 1 nd merchants of Sofia, students at the Bulgarian universities, even professional men. One man, a student ot literature, insured mo that with his own hands he had killed no less than 140 Greeks. "1 was called to the bedside of a dying man. lie had been beaten to death for res. silng a 'comnltadjl' who had seized upon his daughter. I applied to the French consul at Salonlca, begging htm to exert his power to put an end to these massacres, which are the disgrace of Europe. Ho replied that he could do nothing because the Bulgarian govern ment had authorized and organized these bands of Irregulars that tliev might co operate with the regular army, and that consequently their acts received uul Earl an sanction." These documentary proofs of Bulgarian ferocity are but a few of the great mass of depositions, letters and governmental reports that lie ready to the hand of the investigator. An army of witnesses at test the truth of every allegation. These witnesses are of all nations, all faiths. all walks of life. They are not Inter rated, as Bulgaria Is Interested, in en deavoring to justify her unjustifiable acts; they are Interested, as all should be. In tho protection of non-combatants nnu tho observance of the rules of civ Ulzcd warfare Advertisement. MANLEY DINED BY AD MEN; Club Parts with President, Who As sumes New Duties. AFFECTION IN EVERY SYLLABLE Members Kxpress Hrgrnrd for Him anil Present Him with Fob na Token of Their Esteem. A little touch ot sentiment crept Into tho Jollification of tho Ad club at their dinner In the olive room at tho Romo hotel last night. In honor of Robert H. Mantey, retiring president of tho organ ization. Between the songs ot good cheer, songs for which tho Ad club Is famous, the regard which the members have for Bob Manlcy emerged. It started with the Initial speech of Harry Ma- hatfey, who presided, and did not finish until "Our Bob," ns ho was styled by the crowd, closed his spco.tj of appre ciation. Charles R. Diiffle spoke ot the guest of honor as tho man "who Is not only liked, but universally respected by all who know him, for what he Is and for what ho has done." E. 8. Parker told of his ilrst meeting with Bob Mantey, how he had looked up to him as the rep resentative of the Fremont Herald, later as advertising manager and now as com missioner. Brlx" Kline related more of tho re cent history of Mr. Manley and told of the affection which Ad club men had held for htm. I Whitehead explained that tho dinner was a ratification ot the appointment of the Commercial club and advised Mr. Manley to do more things for Omaha. Charles Doherty, tho blush ing bridegroom of the club, and O. T. Eastman joined In a humorous turn which ended In tho presentation to R. II. Manley of a gold fob bearing tho namo of tho club on one side: on tho other Is engraved, "Our Bob, from Ills Ad Club Friends," and the date, Febru ary 5, 1914. In Bob Manlcy's reply there was a touch of sentiment, for he said that he considered both tho dinner and tho token of remembrance a mark of affection and would regard them as such. Then tho -crowd sang: For he's a Manley good fellow, For he's a Manley good fellow, .For he's a Manley good lellow, So say we all of us O. T. Eastman, Insisting that since there was no Ad club work for tho Ad club to co, It should engage In the work which some other organization should do, suggested that the Ad club support the bond lssuo for better parks and boulevards hero. Following his speech a resolution was passed asking that a committer bo appointed to secure Infor mation on tho parks and boulevards of Omaha.

LACK OF FUNDS, SAYS POOL Labor Commissioner Makes State ment of His Position, LEGISLATURE POOR PROVIDER Only Three Thoimnnd .Dollars Ap propriated to Hun Department for Year, mul that Is Now Almost Expended, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. 6.-(Speclal.)-t.abor Commissioner Charles Pool, who has been In tho limelight tho last week In connec tion with charges of nonenforcement of tho act regulating the , hours ot female labor, has Issued tho following state ment: If thoso well meaning persons who have seen fit to criticise me for what they aro pleased to term my "failure to en force fully tho provisions of the law pertaining to the employment of females tit tho city of Omuha," had made sumo slight Inquiries they would do doubt have been surprised to learn that the legis lature appropriated tho munificent sum of $3,000 for tho conduct of tho bureau of labor for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 1913. and closing April 1. 1914. Of this $3,000 appropriated there was expended up to February 4. 1914, 2,64!18, leaving a balanco of $457.72 to carry tho department up to April 1, 1914. Ot tho amount expended I.S5&.S5 was paid to In spectors, the two In Omaha receiving $749.43 up to November, when It was nec essary to dispense with their services be cause ot the funds being bo nearly ex hausted. Tho average expenditures of the depart ment for all purposes (other than the salaries of tho deputy and stenographer In the office) waa $211.83 per month, which Includes printing. Inspections, postage and all necessary supplies for the department. Should the expenses for February and March not exceed $211.K per month the department will have a surplus of $31.02 April 1, 1914. Tho services of the Inspectors were of great benefit to the department and would net have been dispensed with had It been posslblo to find a way In which to meet their salary claims. Tho department has exorcised duo dili gence In Investigating and correcting all the evils that have been brought to Its attention, yet It is posslblo thero have been vlolatllons of tho law. Any fair minded person will admit that whllo there are laws thero will be Infractions of the same, but wo do maintain that wo have dono all we could with tho funds at our command to cntorco tho laws ne we found them. Understanding Governor Morehcads Ideas wero to carry on tho work of all departments on us economical a plan us possible. It has been tho practice of this department to get full valuo for each dolla rexpended, and to see that no un necessary outlay was made. The taxpayers of tho state, have a right to demand tho practice of economy by their public officials, and the records of this department will bear out the asser tion that at no time has there been an unnecessary use of funds, nnd that we havo secured results of great benefit to the peoplo of Nebraska with tho meager appropriation given us by tho legislature. Much Money Saved in By Auditor's Rule (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. 6. (gpcclal.)-Dlscus- slon-over tho cost of bringing back to Nebnska fugitives from Justice and a comparison of the two last administra tions along that line has resulted In a showing mado by Deputy Auditor Minor taken from tho records of the office. These records show that under tho pre vious administration there was n total of 2S0 fugitives brought back to tho state In tho last year ot Mr. Aldrlch's term, costing $12,317.48. Of these 233 were ap prehended wlthjn (he state and cost $7,849.ftl, whllo twenty-seven wero brought from ether states at a cost of $4,497.65. Tho average cost for thoso within the state was $33.69, whllo tho average for bringing back thoso who had gone to other states was $100.67. During 1913 It cost the stato $10,143.20 to got back 233 fugitives. Two hundred of theso wore caught within the state at a cost of $5,821.27, while thlrty-threo got far away enough so that It cost $1,323.93 to get them back. It cost on an average of $29.10 to bring back thoso caught In Nebraska, whllo tho average cost to get thoso outsldo tho state was $131.03. It will bo noted that the avorago cost of gcitlng prisoners, blth within and without tho state. Is much less tho last year than In previous years and Is prob- amy auo to tho rlgld rulo of Auditor Howard that all officers bringing back fugitives from Justice shall present a re ceipt for every cent of money paid out on tho trip. Thj records disclose that the highest amount paid to any officer for tho re turn of a prisoner was In 1912, when Sheriff Ed Evans of Boono county re ceived $669.45 for expenses of going from Albion to Edmonton, Canada, for Henry Phllmalee, wanted for cmbezzloment. Phllmalee exhausted every legal means posslblo to keep from being brought back to the state nnd Evans was kept In Can ada fcr several weeks fighting tho court. In an effort to get his man. Ho finally lando-I him and brought him back to tho state. Other amounts run up to $200 and more and are mostly for trips to the Pa cific crast, which seemed to bo tho place where most of tho fugitives made tracks lor wncn leaving the state.
