SHOT TO DEATH
TAMBOULISKY OF BULGARIA
KILLED
IN FIGHT WITH
PEASANTS.
DIES AT HIS BIRTH PUCE
Wat Premier From Time Peasant
Government Wae Formed Until
Ite Recent Overthrow.
Sofia. Alexander Stamboullsky,
premier of Bulgaria from the time the
peasant government was formed un
der his leadership In 1918 until he
was overthrown by the Bulgarian
army, was killed In the village of
Vetren near his native town of Slav
ovltza. . He was shot in the course
of an attempt by a party of peasants
to rescue him from guards who had
captured him after a three days' pur
suit , , "
Stamboullsky was brought from the
village of Golak, where he was cap
tured. He announced that he had
Important documents at his Slavo
vltza home and was permitted to set
out for Slavovltia In an automobile
surrounded by guards. On the out
slrts of the village a party of
peasants blocked the road.
Under the Are of the peasants the
guards abandoned Stamboullsky and
the peasants proceeded to escort him
toward the village. Enroute a band
of soldiers attacked the peasants
with rifle fire. It was during the
short, stiff fighting which followed
that Stamboullsky was shot virtu
ally on the threshold of his birth
place. Stamboullsky, as a captive, was
expected to be brought to Sofia. When
the train arrived at . the staion the
streets around Alexander square
were choked with citizens eager to
get a glimpse of him. Shortly after
wards they learned of his fate.
It was a peasant who arrested the
former premier t Golak. Stambou
llsky went to a trie-making establish
ment and ordered a large amount of
tile, paying 300 leva to And the bar
gain. Recognizing htm in spite of his
disguise the merchant suspected the
purpose of the transaction was to
develop friendly contract so that he
could communicate with the mayor
of Slavovatiza, thereby getting in
touch with his adherents. The mer
chant summoned assistance and told
Stamboullsky he was under detention.
Stamboullsky then decided to place
himself in the hands of the new
authorities and wrote a letter to the
chief of police a Vetren offering to
surrender. The official arrived seg
eral hours laer with a detachment of
soldiers.
Code For Usage of American Flag.
Washington. A code covering
proper civilian usage of the Amrelcan
flag and conduct In its presence was
adopted at the concluding session of
the conference of national organiza
tions called by the American legion,

sations represented promote the
study of he words and music of the
"Star Spangled Banner" and its teach
ing in all schools and In juvenile or
ganizations as suggesetd to the con
ference by President Harding.
State legislatures also were asked
to enact uniform laws requiring dis
play of the flag In and over all
schools, parks and playgrounds, and
over other public buildings.
Considerable discussion over what
was described as the unpatriotic at
titude of a number of teachers and
text books in public schools result
ed in adoption of another resolution
demanding that "all persons employ
ed in a public capacity, whose com
pensation is paid from public funds
be required to pledge allegiance and
support . to the constitution . and re
spect fr the flag of the Unied
Sates.'' Opposition was recorded to
proposals to change the official di
mension of the flag.

.1IFIGATI0US OF
UP RULING
AMERICA WOULD USE TREATY
MAKING RIGHTS WITH OTHER
" ' NATIONS.
THE SENATE 1ST APPROVE
Proposal Is Outgrowth of Long Study
of International Situation By U.
8. Government.
Washington. Modification of the
effect of American 'prohibition en
forcement regulations as they apply'
to sealed liquors in transit through
American territory or In ships' stores
has been offered to various maritime
powers by the state department as a
solution for present inconveniences
ocoasioned foreign shipping. The
project, it was learned on high authr
orlty, contemplates exercise of the
treaty making power to amend exist
ing statutes, which means that senate
ratification would have to be obtained
to make the modification effective.
The offer also is contingent upon
a reciprocal agreement in treaty form
by the powers Involved which would
give the United States the right ot
search up to 12 miles off shore In
carrying on the war against rum
smugglers operating under foreign
flags.
The American proposal Is the out
growth of prolonged study of the In
volved legal anl International situa
tion that has arisen both from the
rum smuggling operations and from
the recent decision of the supreme
court upon which the present rigid
treasury regulations excluding all
beverage liquors from American ter
ritorial Jurisdiction are based. It was
presented In answer to numerous
complaints made by the maritime
governments against Inconveniences
to their shipping resulting from the ;
regulations. It also follows the re
fusal ot Great Britain last ' year to
agree to a treaty permitting he same
extension of the right ot search
against smugglers which Is now pro
posed, coupled with the offered modi-
float ion of ship liquor and liquor in
transit rules.
Comment on the new Amnlean
proposal was withheld in diplomatic
circles. There was no indication
available there or at the state de
partment as to the probable attitude i
of the nine govrnments which have
made the new ship liquor regulations
the subject of diplomatic conversa
tions. Since the project does not
contemplate a joint treaty but wholly
separate pacts the possibility pre
sents Itself that some of the marl-
time powers might enter Into such
relationships as proposed where oth
ers found it inadvisable to do so. In
the event, providing senate ratlfica
tibn was obtained for the treaties
negotiated, a solution tor these two
vexing international aspects of Amer
ican prohibition enforcement would
have been found tar as the treaty
party nations were concerned at least
This, however, does not contemi
plate any action to alleviate the ship
liquor situation prior to ratification
of the treaties gy both parties. It
therefore offers no method of over
coming the obstacles to internation
al commerce Imposed by the treas
ury regulaions for several months
at least as the American senate will
not reconvene before December un
less called in special session.
Foreign Veasels Avoid America.
Washington. Part of "the price we
must pay for prohibition." is a loss
of a considerable seaport business,
Secretary Hoover remarked in dis
cussing the new treasury regulations
affecting liquor carriage on ships.
Vessels which have hitherto taken
coal at American ports, and have dls- j
charged partial cargoes or taken on 1
partial cargoes in the United States i
while en route to the West Indies, ;
Latin-America or Canada, will now
be1 obliged to make other arrange
ments.
