ROUMANIA AWAITUG
ISSUE SERB CAMPAIGN
A. P. A. Service.
LONDt IN. Jifov. 4.—It is learned from
an authoritative source today that
Roumaniii is cn the anxious seat at
I resen and ;e not likely to make any
decisive move in the war until the
issue of the present great Teuton drive
on the Serbian territory is disclosed.
The authority states that Roumania
would like to cast her lot with the
allies but will make no move in that
direction unless the German allies are
defeated in the Serbian fighting. It is
stated that in the event of the Germans
losing on that front Roumania will at
once join with the Ftussians and their
allies.

GREEK GOVT OR VERGE
OF COLLAPSE
_i_ ^
A. P. A. Service.
ATHENS, Nov. 4.—Every Indication
points to the Zamais government being
on the verge of collapse and a fourth
change in the ministry is expected to
develop within a few days. By a vote
of one hundred and forty-seven to one
hundred and fourteen today the cham
!ber of deputies refused a vote of confi
dence in the Zamais cabinet and
scenes of the wildest excitement im
mediately followed with a majority of
the deputies wildly urging an open de
viate on the foreign policy of the na
tion.
All previous attempts to discuss mat
ters affecting the foreign relations of
the nation have been stopped by the
supporters of the kings party which
although in the minority have prac
tically dominated the assembly. Fol
lowing the refusal of the deputies to
vote in favor of supporting the gov
eminent,, Zamals immediately hurried
into a conference with the king and
it is expected that the cabinets resig
nation will be announced without de
lay. Tltej nation is again becoming
wildly ex-ited and the internal discord
is being further increased by the at
tacks on the government's foreign
policy by both the entente powers and
Austria and Germany. There is also
a widespread demand for the rein
statement of the former Premier Veni
zelos, which is fast becoming insistent
and in many ([uarters it is believed will
be most difficult for the ruler to resist
without risking an outbreak. Should
Venizelos again ocme Into power there
is little doubt that Greece will ulti
mately intervene on the side of the
entente.

HALF SERBIA IN BANDS
OFMY
A. P. A Service.
LONDON, Nov. 4.—Over half of
Serbia is now in the hands of the ene
mies of the nation, according to the
advices ieceived today. The Serbians
are still keeping up their terrific strug
gle against the superior forces of the
German along the northern front but
are being forced steadily back Into the
interior where their only hope of a
successful resistance lies In a conjunc
tion with the British und French forces
now hurrying from the south. Along
the eastern front the French contyiue
their furious attacks against the Bul
gars and are slowly forcing the In
vading armv back toward their own
line.
TYPHOON AGAIN
SWEEPS OVER
SOUTHERN LUZON
A. P. A. Service.
MANILLA, Nov. 8.—A second great
typhoon is again sweeping over south
ern Luzon devastating the same sec
tion visited by the terrific storm last
month in which over two hundred lives
! were lost and property was damaged
to the extent of over a million dollars.
The present storm is headed toward
Manilla and it is feared that this city
will be compelled to feel the effects
before many hours. The damage so far
reported has been light owing probably
to the fact that the section over which
the storm is now raging had little left
to destroy after the last hurricane. Two
small coasting vessels have foundered
at points along the coast but the crews
escaped safely.
TMMf ELECTS OWN
DISTRICT ME)
By A. P. A. Service.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—The complete
returns from the election day before
yesterday discloses that the people of
the state are about equally divided in
thir political sympathies and the two
leading parties are about equally rep
resented in the state offices.
The republicans succeeded In gain
ing one more office out of a total of
four filled by republican candidates
while Tammany succeeded In electing
their own choice for district attorney
for the first time in fifteen years. In
addition the Tammanyites also landed
the sheriff and a majority of the city
aldermen.

SAFE BREAKERS AGAIN
AT WORK
For the second time within a period
of a week, safe breakers have attempt
ed to make a haul by atacking ttie
strong box in Nome business houses.
The tirst time they were unsuccessful
in gaining an entrance but the attempt
Imade last night on the safe in the
Meilke barber shop resulted in their
obtaining ingress by blowing open the
door with nitro glycerine poured into
tiie interior through a small hole bored
in the top. The job was evidently
pulled oft at some time between the
hours of two and six this morning
and the robbers evidently worked with
unusual expertness as nothing was
known of tiie matter until the lodgers
on the upper story were aroused by
the smoke from the explosion pene
trating their aparements. The first
man to arrive on the scene was the
night attendant of the bath house who
had gone to his room on the second
floor before two o’clock, coming down
again a few minutes after six. On
opening tiie door of the barber shop
the man found the place full of smoke
and immediately gave the alarm. On [
tiie room being cleared of the dense 1
smoke it was discovered that the safe
door had been blown completely open
but for some unknown reason a con
siderable quantity of gold dust, nug- ;
gets, Jew'elry and diamonds had not
been touched by the robbers who were
evidently in search of money alone.
Altogether the value represented was
between one thousand and fifteen hun- |
dred dollars all of which was passed j
up and as far as can be told was not
ever touched. Why the robbers failed
to take the gold dust, of which there [
was about one hundred and twenty- j
five dollars worth is something of a
mystery. On arriving at the shop Mr.
Meilke, who was at once notified, found
a portion of the contents of the safe,
including a small poke of gold dust ly
! ing on the floor in front of the open
• door but states that he is not aware
that a single article of value Is miss
ing. Examination of the safe reveals
that the robbers evidently tried first
to knock ofT the combination knob with
some heavy instrument as the knob
is badly bnttered and show plainly the
marks of the attempt. In order to
deaden the sound of the heavy blows,
the robbers covered the knob with a
heavy coat belonging to Benny White
which was hanging in the shop and
that article shows by numerous cuts
ihiough the fabric the manner in which
• t was used by the yeggs to conceal
iheir operations. Evidently failing in
their efforts to gel the door open by
battering the combination lock, the
robbers then bored a small hole in the
top of the safe with a long drill which
penerated far into the Interior pierc
Img the first shelf some six or seven
inches below the top of the inside wall.
1 Tom appearances, nitro glycerine was
then poured into the Interior and set
| aft with the result that the door was
down open by the explosion. In this
.process the robbers again employed the
> oat, this time apparently placing it
!..ver the hole in the safe top to prevent
the flash of the explosion from being
seen on the street. Several large holes
are burned in the coat from the back
Hare in addition to the rents made Dy
the effort to break the combination.
The contents of the safe were hardly
disturbed by the explosion and only
such articles as lay close to the door
were disturbed in any way. Mr. Meilke
is of the opinion that the robbers were
after a large sum of money which was 1
I aid to him by several debtors day be
fore yesterday, but which had been
placed in the bank on the same day
a* received. Just why the thieves fail
ed to get away with the gold dust is
great deal of a mystery as It was
lying open to their hand. The watches
. nd diamonds locked up in the safe
v ere not his property, Meilke states,
but apparently nothing was touched
i nd it is claimed that if anything is
missing he is not aware of it. In con
nection with the affair several parties
claim they heard an explosion but as
the hour Is stated by one party to
’ i vo been two a. m., while another
: sserts that it was at six either state
ment Is doubtful as far as fixing the
time is concerned. The Job was a
II artlcularly nervy piece of work as
the safe Is located scarcely two feet
away from the front of the building and
the slightest noise can be heard In the
street.
