Kingston, sworn in his own defense in his trial on a charge of filling a perscription for a narcotic drug without verifying it, which is before Judge Laing and a jury in county court, today swore positively that he had never seen Florence Ryan, the woman who testified yesterday she had her perscription for morphine filled by Mr. Kingston, until he saw her in county court when her partner. Jack Belmont, was tried on a charge of forging prescriptions. This was long after the date when the Ryan woman declared she had a talk with Mr. Kingston concerning the prescription in question in his drug store, at Main and Ferry streets.

"I knew of a girl by the name of Marie Sweet. She had been in my store several times to get a prescription filled, but I had never filled it for her." Marie Sweet was the name in the prescription for the alleged filling of which Mr. Kingston was indicted. It was said the Ryan woman presented the prescription and got it filled. Mr.

Kingston denied he filled the prescription, but admitted it was filled in his store. He said he had three prescription clerks working for him.

The capture of Priz-rend, the last stronghold of the Serbians in the western part of Serbiar, has released a Bulgarian force of 50,000 men which is now moving southward to reinforce the army engaged by: the Anglo-French troops on the Greek frontier.

At the same time it is reported that Bulgarian troops have been sent to Gal-lipoli to help the Turks. This is confirmatory of the information that the allies will continue the Dardanelles campaign despite recent rumors to the Lord Kitchener, who has just returned from the near east, believes that the Dardanelles campaign should go on for two reasons: First To prevent Turkish troops from being released for a campaign against Egypt. Second To prevent the Turks from sending soldiers Into Europe to help the Bulgarian and Austro-Germans fight the allies. East of Monastir, the Anglo-French troops are being hard pressed by the Bulgarians, and at some points along the Tcherna river, the allies have fallen back until they are only a few miles from the Greek border. SECRETARY Mayor Sees Economy in Having Municipal Buying Done By Central Head.

Former Senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, who looms up largo In Republican national politics as a possible candidate for the presidency, arrived In Buffalo at an early hour this morning' to fill a series of speaking engagements, lie will deliver an address before the Rotary club at the Statler hotel this noon and tonight he will ppealc at. the University and Saturn clubs.

Is the Lead, Senator Burton is regarded as a liely recipient of the backing of leaders of his party here if they favor any candidate other than Governor Charles S. Whitman. And It Is no secret that some of the Erie Republican leaders are quite willing to get behind his candidacy if It is made sufficiently formidable In this state. Just at present Senator Burton Is making himself known through the state in speaking before organizations of business men in a number of cities. His mission is non-political in character.

He speaks about preparedness for trade conquests in markets opened as a consequence of the war, but at the same time business men are given an opportunity' to size him up and to his advantage. The senator is an experienced official, whose service of sixteen years in the house of representatives gave him wide knowledge of commercial affairs. He was for ten years chairman of the important rivers and harbors committee, and then served a term in the senate, retiring last March of his own volition. Offers Cloture Rule. At his hotel this noon.

Senator Burton firmly declined to discuss politics and spoke reservedly upon political affairs. He said he was reluctant to discuss the proposed Senate rule to limit debate, since he 10 longer is a membefof that body, but declared that he did not approve of such a rule. "1 am altogether opposed to procedure under the rules which would terminate debate on a measure in two days or any other fixed period," said he. "It we review the history of so-called filibuster or prolonged debate to prevent enactment of a law, we find that efforts to defeat measures in this manner have failed when they should have failed, and have succeeded when they should have succeeded." The senator cited the filibuster against the repeal of the silver purchase act in 1S93, which failed; against the Vreeland-Aldrich currency act in 1908, which also failed, the bill passing and preventing panic in 1913 and 1914: the success of the filibuster against the so-called Force act in 1890-91, the defeat of which afterwards won public approval; and the filibuster against the river and harbor bill of 1914, which opposition now has the approval of an overwhelming majority of the people.
