A proposition that is sure to develop a fight at the meeting of the Central Florida Highway association has been taken up by the Osceola County Highway association, -which has called 'a meeting at St. Cloud for Tuesday' night, September 7, when it will debate the proposition of can-vine west loop of the Dixie highway from Klssimmee, east aoross the state to Melbourne where it would taD the east loop and continue south to Miami.

This is a thins- 8. A. Belcher, one of the two commissioners from the state of the Dixie Hiehwav commis sion, has been fighting for. The other is a routing straight north from Gainesville into Georgia, instead of by way of Tallahassee. He and Commis sioner G.

W. Saxon of Tallahassee have 'been disputing over these for some time, Saxon of course standing out strong against a routing that would leave Tallahassee off the map and standing with south Florida against any movement that would keep the road from going throucrh central part of south Florida.

fany Blair Mohr, released on bonds of $10,000, had full charge of the funeral today of her husband fhom whom she had. been separated for several months. Mrs. Mohr sent out invitations to the services and asked the Rev. Francis J.

Bassett, rector of the Church of the Epiphany, to read Episcopal funeral ritual In the parlor of Dr. Mohr's house in an exclusive residen tial section. Mrs. Mohr also directed that the burial should take place at the Swan Point cemetery. Only close friends of the family were asked to attend.

Mrs. Mohr ar ranged that her two children, who have been living with her, return to their former home for their father's funeral. Charles Manning Mohr of New York, a son of the physician by a former marriage, also was here to attend the funeral. Searching Brook for Weapons. Detectives today were' searching a brook near the soene of the murder on the Nayatt road In Barrington.

According to one of the three Negroes who accuses Mrs. Mohr of having hired them to kill her husband, the revolvers with which Dr. Mohr" was killed, and Miss Emily G. Burger, his secretary and companion on Tuesday night's automobile ride, was wounded, were thrown into this brook. Arthur Cushlng, Mrs.

Mohr's attor ney, who obtained Mrs. Mohr's re lease last night only by offering his own property as part security for the ball bona, said today that he-would begin a search for the doctor's will after the funeral. He could not esti mate the value of Dr. Mohr's estate, but mends of the physician who knew the extent of his practise said that the property would be worth They estimated Dr.1 Mohr's in come during the past fifteen or twen ty years from $50,000 to $75,000 a year.

Mrs. Mohr today lost her composure for the first time sinoe suspicion fell upon her. She had attempted a formal Interview, but it was soon inter rupted with sobs and ended in an outburst of weeping. She reiterated her declarations of innocence and in sisted that the story of the three Negroes that she had hired them to dispose of her husband was concocted after their plot to rob Dr.

Mohr had resulted In his murder.

Will Be a Vivid Protest The Times can imagine what some of the road boosters in Bartow and Arcadia and throughout DeSoto, Polk ana Lee counties will say when they hear the allegations set forth by the St Cloud paper.

Scott will fairly rave. That the DeSoto, Polk and Lee county road boosters will hot let the plans of the St Cloud people become fact without a fight is certain. It will all mean a greater crowd at the Lakeland meeting, which is certain to be the biggest meeting of good roads boosters ever held in Florida.

TOWARD Dispatches from Berlin for some time have intimated that the next move of I the Austrian and German armies in- the east, after clearing Poland aua tne east, arter clearing Poland ana es a the Baltic, would be to turn south and drive through the southern pro vinces of Russia to the Black Sea.

Rome, Italy, Sept '2. (Via Paris, Sept Revision of the treaty of Bucharest has been agreed to explicitly by Servia, Roumania and Greece, according to reports received here, but it is said these countries are not willing to Satisfy entirely Bulgaria's claims to territorial compensation for participating in the war. Bulgaria's pretensions apparently are irreconcilable with what her neighbors are willing to grant and the impression is gaining ground here that she is prolonging the negotiations with the aim of postponing the day wnen sne must reach a decision.

The treaty of Bucharest, which ended the Balkan conflict following the victory over Turkey, was signed August 10, 1913, between Bulgaria on the one hand and Roumania, Greece and Montenegro on the other. By the treaty the Roumano-Bulga-rian frontier starts from the Danube above Tujtukai and ends on the Black sea south of Ekrane. Servo-Bulgarian frontier starts from the Par-tarica mountin, continues along the old Turco-Bulgarian frontier and the watershed between the Varda and the Sturma and ends at the mountain of Belashictza. The Greeco-Bulgarlan frontier starts on the crest of the Belashictza range sad ends at the mouth of the rlvej Nestor, on the Aegean Bulgar Population Dissatisfied. Geneva, Switzerland (via Paris), Sept 3.

Information reaching here from Bucharest by way of Zurich represents the situation in Bulgaria as becoming more unsatisfactory, owing to the indecision of the government, which is attempting to conserve the country's neutrality and at the same time satisfy its national ambitions. A majority of Bulgarian statesmen favor a reapproachement the quadruple entente, Servia and Greece. In view of the estate of public feeling and the news from Nish that Servia is. willing to make territorial conces- slons the Bulgarian government finds it embarrassing to continue its policy of neutrlaitv. It is set forth that German diplo- matte agents nave Deen unable to give Bulgaria sufficiently satisfactory guarantees concerning the furnishing; of ammunition and other supplies.

May Strike AVcll South of Tampa, Indications are that this hurricane will take a more northerly, course than the one in August, which veered in a westerly direction, the greater part of its force being centered around Galveston, Texas. The present storm is expected to reach the coast between New Orleans and Punta Rassa, about ninety-five miles down the coast from the mouth of Tampa bay. When the hurricane warnings first were ordered out extending from New Orleans to Cedar Keys, southeast storm warnings were ordered from Cedar Keys down the coast The local office of the weather bureau sent out advisitoies and ordered display-men at" points on the coast to hoist storm warnings. It was not thought this morning that the hurricane warning would be extended to include the Tampa section, but when-it came the force of the local bureau immediately' sent out the new warning and advised shipping.

Before the hurricane warnings were ordered in this section shipping had been warned of the danger from high winds. Ail precautions are advised shipping and masters of vessels in port are warned that it will be perilous for them to go out.

Sept. 3. The local weather bureau today employed the telegraph, telephone and wireless, the mails and special messengers in boats to send out warnings to coast points and vessels at sea of the hurricane reported approaching the Gulf coast between New Orleans and Cedar Keys.

Three of the band of Mexican bandits operating north of Brownsville were killed last night by county officers at Los Cuatros, miles north of Brownsville, according to information received here today. In addition to the Mexicans killed last night it Is said a Mexican woman, rienfrtAri hv. hpr hunhanfl when the outlaws aDneared at her home north of here last night was accidentally killed by United States soldiers when she approached them in the darkness in search of protection. The Mexicans killed Dy county oni cials were members of a band which yesterday burned a trestle north of Brownsville and killed two Americans, Karl Donaldson and J. S.

Smith. At Fort Brown it was stated today that troops would remain in tne neia until all of the bandits naa eune been killed or captured. Search for the Mexican marauders who yesterday killed two Americans and lost one of their number in fight with United States soldiers was pressed with vigor tooay. Spread out in a close cordon, which left no foot of the international boun dary unpatrolled, the border guards were ready to shoot on sight if fifteen remaining members of band made any effort to ford the swollen Rio Grande to Mexico ana safety. In addition to tne soldiers mere were hundreds of citizens, headed by Texas rangers, who pursued the trail of the Mexicans to avenge tne mens of cattle, burned barns worn' en and the deaths of half a dozen United States citizens.

The tactics of the Maxicans yesterday led army ofll cers to believe that this band has been responsible for much of the outlawry of the past several weeks in border counties.

A Farmer and an Engine-tender Killed. Earl Donaldson, a farmer of Fay- ette. and J.

H. Smith, an engine tender, were killed and their bodies thrown into the dried lake. Stanley Dodds, a contractor, was unharmed by the Mexicans, presumably because one of the number thought he was a German. Dodds escaped from the band when attacked by the American soldiers. Aniceto Pizano, who is said to have been enraged in other outlawry on the lower border and in an effort in Mexico to incite a revolution against the United States, was' declared by officers to have been the leader of the bandits.

How Dodd Escaped While Companions Were Murdered. Stanley Dodd, an American who escaped from 4he Mexican bandits who killed J. Smith and Earl Donaldson yesterday, today told of his expert' ences. After the three Americans and three Mexican workmen had been captured by five bandits, they were escoited a short distance and Dodd was ordered to one side. By that time several other mem bers of the band had Joined the gang," Dodd said.

"It looked as if (it was all ever with me and a gun was levelled in my direction, but I caught hold of a Mexican who appeared to be some sort ot officer in the band, and pushed him in front of me. Smith called out: -Good-Dye, uoaa, if I don't see you again." Then he and Donaldson were led off into the brush.

That didn't meet Donaldson ana amitn fate, I believe, was due to the fact that the Mexican with the appearance of an officer told his comrades I had once loaned him ten dollars.

London, England, Sept. 3.

A news dispatch from Berlin last night states that Germany intends to ask the United States to submit to The Hague convention the question of compensa tion arising out of the sinking of the liners Adriatic and Lusitania by Ger man submarines. It is stated that Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador to the United States, has been instructed by the German foreign office to make such representations to the American government. The dispatch goes on to say: "It is understood that proposals von Bernstorff is authorized to make will strike at the heart of the problem as affecting the United States. They provide for immunity from attack without warning for passenger steamers, which are to be destroyed only after being halted and full opportunity given the passengers and crews to embark in the boats under conditions of Submarine commanders will be advised of the expected arrival of liners on regular schedules. How far beyond this pro- vision for the safety of the larger ships Count von BernstorfFs instructions go cannot be learned.

Newspaper reports reaching here to the effect that the solution of the submarine problem is coupled with a settlement of the negotiations with Great Britain are declared in initiated circles to be incorrect. It is true that Count von Bernstorff has been instructed to say that the' settlement 'of the old blockade problem wpuld en able Germany to drop the whole submarine warfare against commerce but this suggestion is quite apart from the proposals indicated No Reply to Spain's Protest.
