Superintendent. AMENDyPOLOGY Asks Bulgaria for Indemnity Pledge After Frontier Fighting Sofia Denies Aggression; Says Attack on Sentinel Began Row I Oct. 21, (AP) Greece and Bulgaria are at a delicate point in their relations over the shooting of frontier guards near Demfrhis- sar, on the Greco-Bulgarian border. last Monday. Meanwhile the Greek government has demanded an of 000,000 French francs from the Bul garian government.

Versions of the incident differ sharply. News despatches from Athens report that severe fighting, lasting 24 hours, ensued after the kHling of a Greek official and the wounding of a Greek captain by Bulgarian forces which fired on a Greek post near Demlrhissar. The Bulgarian telegraph agency asserts that a Greek soldier entered Bulgarian territory near TJemir-kapu, Macedonia, and wounded a Bulgarian sentinel, who in turn fired and killed the Greek. This was followed by fusillades across the frontier, until a Bulgarian officer managed to get into contact with the Greek commander at Deniirhlssar. Claims 'Sentinel Attacked SOFIA, Bulgaria.

Oct. 21 (AP). The Bulgarian version of the incident on the Greek frontier was given today by the Bulgarian Telegraphic Agency. According to this account a Greek soidler entered Bulgarian territory near rtemirkapou on Monday and wounded a Bulgarian sentinel, who In return fired and killed his assailant. A long fueilade across the border followed.

The Bulgarian government, the agency has proposed an Immediate inquiry to fix responsibility, Xo Time Lmit Fixed LONDON, Oct. 21, (AP) An Exchange Telegraph dlpach from Athens says efforts will be made to obtain foreign diplomatic mediation on the frontier ino'dent. The correspondent adds that, contrary to earlier information, the Greek note handed to the Bulgarian Legation does not fix a time limit and not an ultimatum.

Braves Pay Great Tribute to "Matty" BOSTON, Oct. 21. The Boston National baseball club paid double tribute to its late president, Chriaty Mathewson, at Its annual meeting today. It elected his aon, Christopher, aa a director and adopted resolutions offered by Mayor James M.

LEADERS OF BRITISH COMMUNISTS HELD Scotland Continues Drive to Abolish Radical Party Oct. ,21 (1AP) -Scotland Yard today announced the arrest of Arthur McManus, chairman of the Communist party in Great Britain since its formation, and John Thomas Murphy, a frequent contributor to the communist press, on charges of conspiring to incite sedition and mutiny.

These six were arraigned last Thursday on charges similar to those laid against McManus and Murphy and were remanded until Friday of thla week on ball of 100 pounds ech.

School Uniforms The Chicago schools must be running quite smoothly, else Supt. Mc-Andrew 'would not fipd time to consider a problem so superficial as the dress of teachers. To put them in uniforms, as Dr. McAndrew advocates, -may not be a vital gain for education, but inasmuch as the majority of teachers have voted In favor of the plan It must have some merit teachers being as sensitive as other persons to superfluous interference with personal freedom. The innovation would doubtless save money for most teachers by reducing wardrobe congestion.

It might also make for discipline. It Is obvious that a uniform on the drill sergeant of the classroom would be significant reminder of authority. It Is certain, as every parent knows, that children inspect their teachers with gimlet eyes. Any eccentricity of dress attracts their notice and their ridicule. Uniformity of attire would do away with this distraction.

"Champagne is good, and so is rum," boomed Captain P. B. Blanch-ard. In a flash the "crew" was at the main sheet toiling away, and roaring the chorus: "Whisky for my Johnny." "And beer Is good enough for some.

"But whisky for my Johnny." The. lilting note of the old sea chantney floated over the harbor. The main sheet was dropped and reminiscences were in order. INever aeain will the Packard haul out of the Bay at Bengal, leave Cey Ion and Madagascar on her star board side, double the Cape of Good Hope and bear steadily up the west coast of Africa with the Benguela current. Never again will her keel slip silently through the warm waters of the South Equatorial current, jior will she ever again go racing 'round the Horn.

One by one the famous ships have gone. The glories of the seas, the young America, the Tamoshanter, the Sovereign of Seas, the May Queen and the Swallow Tail all have passed. And with the passing of each, some little bit of sentiment, some cherished memory, some modicum of a sailor's love has been transferred to the ones remaining. Because of this fact, the Packard, last of a distinguished company, with her holds empty, her decks de serted, and her wheel forever Jn buckets, bears a cargo of forgotten memories far more orecious than any freight she carried in the halcyon' days of her glory.

(AP) The reported invention of an apparatus which will indicate an approaching earth quake is attracting the interest of Japanese scientists. The inventor is Dr.

Jun Shida, a professor of the Kyoto Imperial University. The apparatus is intended to transform the initial earth tremor into a sound. The new contrivance consists mainly of a pendulum, an electric coil and an amplifier. The pendulum in so delicately poised that it is susceptible to the slightest horizontal or vertical motion. When It is set in motion, electricity Js instantly generated in the coil which affects an apparatus similar to the receiver on a telephone.

This sound is amplified and ist-ued through a sort of a. loud syeaker. The volume of sound is in proportion to the magnitude of the During the tests even such slight vibrations as those caused by tapping on the table or walking across the room caused the apparatus to function. Professor Shida made the discoveries which led to the invention while constructing a seismograph delicate enough to register the slightest possible vibration and record it 20,000 times larger than its actual strength. This seismograph provides records of minute disturbances, but an expert 'would have to watch it constantly to tell instantly when a major shock is on its way.

In the Instance of the earthquake in Tajlma, Hyogo prefecture, more than 12.000 minute vibrations were recorded by this machine. On such an occasion the addition of the new sound seismograph to the equipment of a laboratory would bave been heard without the experts being forced to strain tfteir eyes to see the minute deviations in the line. Sound May Go By Wireless "The sound may be transmitted by wire or wireless Dr. Shida explained. "If such an arrangement is made, the expert in his laboratory -would be informed of earthquakes in ether, parts of the country instantly.

This might lead him to discovering a means of forecasting earthquakes for any ona place. If. for instance, a destructive earthquake should take place at Wakayama, the information would travel the 50 kilometers to Osaka by radio and be recorded four seconds earlier than the arrival of the minor vibration in Osaka. The major shock would not arrive at Osaka until seven seconds after the alarm had been given by my new Invention." AIRPLANE KILLS GOOSE, FLIER FACES ARREST JT3FFERSON CITY. Oct.
