Geaeral Savoff aad view of Aarlaaople. The Bulgarians having centered their attack upon Adrlanople. it is likely that this old Turkish capital will shortly pass out of Turkish hands. The allies arj determined never to give it up. once they have taken possession. The Turkish "forces are very ba-31y disorganized and should prove an easy prey to the allied armies. General Savoff, commander-in-chief of the Bulgarian forces, is In charge of the attack on Adrlanople.

BAD FIRE

IN EASI

CHICAGO

Migoun "avenue, one of .the .best -residence streets in Ka$t .Chicago, was the scene. oC cojiaiderabJe. excitement, this

morning when fire broke out in the two story frame building, owned .and occupied by Bert Siefert and three other ' families. . As the fire. occurred.earlyjn the morn-, ing. most o . those, .within . the. house, had .not yet arisen, and while all escaped some were obliged to do so only partially clothedThe other, .families .in .the building were those of Fred. Wastc Fred. Dran and William E, Crawford, . .The , roof on the building was wrecked and most of the furniture .ruined, by. smoke and water. Mr. and Mrs. Crawford, who only recently moved in, were. the only jnaato save any considerable part of their household goods. The loss is

estimated at between $1,000 and $1,600. J

The blaze was discovered at about six o'clock. Mr. Seifert had just gotten out of bed and he smelled smoke. Falling to discover any fire inside the house, he went outside and found the roof blazing. Mrs. Bert Clapper who lives next door telephoned for the fire department when' Mr. Seifert discovered that the blaze was too large for him to cope with, although he made a valiant effort to subdue the names by means of a garden hose. When the department arrived however the roof was all in flames, the fire having gained considerabe headway before the station was called. . In the. mean time Mr. Seifert had .aroused the other inmates of the burn-

I ing building and these scrambled hur

riedly Into a few clothes, ana went to the Clapper home . next door, whence they watched the destruction of their belongings . . .What .caused the blaze is not known. The. fire .department thought it might have been that the chimney caught from the furnace but it is said that Mrs. Seifert had not started the fires for the day so this seems hardly likely.

The fellow who had bought the stock outright at 50, 60 and eve nas high as 76 Just had to hang on until the stock went up again. A good many of these budding speculators have been going around with the seats of their pants out in the past four years in an effort to hang on. Even men of considerable means have been crimped to hold fast to their acquisitions. It is safe to say that there has not been a more persistent nightmare in the entire community than American Steel Foundries stock. It has kept more men awake nights than any other pernicious influence in tne community. iir-t Good aiewa.

HAS $1,500 CHECK;

WON'T CASH IT fCnttaad tram " Par t.

(Special to The Times.) Whiting, Ind., Feb. 7. A very bad case of destitution was brough to light yesterday,, through the arrest of Eloey Grabosky of . Schrage avenue. Grabosky was arrested yesterday morning by a detective on the B. & O. C. T. T. Railway while in the act of stealing a sack of coal off the cars standing on the B. & O. tracks, near Schrage avenue. Tne man was arraigned before Judge Atchison and was fined $1 and costs. In default of same h was locked up in lail. When Sergeant .Collins, went on duty last night,, he .discussed, the situation

with Grabosky and was informed that

the latter had committed the theft be

cause the family were In very poor

circumstances - and , possessed no fuel

with which n heat their humble home

Sergeant Collins sent an officer to

: the Grabobsky home to investigate and

learned that the family are in dire clr-

! cumstances. They reside in a baso-

t merit on Schrage avenue near John Stanish's saloon. . The family consists

:, of Mr. and Mrs.' Grabos and three chll-

i dren, the eldest three- j ears old and : the youngest live weeks old. The

1 father has been employed in the. labor

department of the Standard Oil Com

: pany until about three weeks ago when I he was laid oft. Since then he has

the family have been -reduced to pov

erty. An investigation by the police

officer showed that there was no Are in

I the house and no fuel to-burn. The j supply of victuals have also become

j exhausted and in addition' to being cold, the wife ' and children were also ; very hungry. The wife is also without

shoes. ' Grabosky in his broken Eng

, lish told Officer Collins how with hi , children freezing, he became desperate

: and decided to steal 'nough coal to

1 heat up their squalid quarters and

.thereby fell into the clutches of the

law. ; The wife' and children waited pa

tlently forthe return of the husband

and father, bot' he failed to-put in an appearance and when Mrs. Grabosky learned what had taken place It added

considerably to her misery.

however; thought the- check should have been issued for $150,000, and he has steadfastly refused to cash.. t. All efforts on the part of his attorneys. to induce him to indorse were fruitless. Inlk kept his check and his demented mind has been busy with it ever since. At one time he took It to Washington to show it to President Taft, but he was geritly tuinc-d away before reaching the chief executive, and in the meantime he has. made out a' list of lawyers . to whom be has showed it. It is a list of names ten feet long. Sometimes his figures run into the millions. Yesterday he was under the Impression "that the Standard Oil company owed him four million dollars. In addition to his list of lawyers, Inlk

Is said to keep a list of all the factories In the Calumet region, and the days on which they pay, the. object being to

visit these factories with a view of begging from the employes.

Lawyers Had I.len. The whole trouble could have been

avoided had the Chicago Judge who heard the case originally permitted the Standard Oil company to pay the mon

ey into the court instead of issuing a

cheek. Paying the money into court

would, however, have entailed additional expense, which the court tried to save for Inlk. never anticipating his

stubbornness to cash a check. The check had to be made out to Inlk and his attorneys because under the Illinois laws a lawyer may have a lien on a client's Judgment. The case Is now

10 years old. It was prosecuted In Its latest angle by the interested lawyers, while Attorney C. B. Tinkham ofHam-

nond, who ecame the Standard's at-

sented the interests of his company.
