CHANGE IN CALENDAR THREE PERSONS KILLED (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn,) BUCHAREST, Sept. 27. Three peasants were killed and 50 injured and many gendarmes were wounded in the village of Ilenupza, in the Baltzi district, as a result of religious disturbances following the introduction of the new calendar.
