Ex-rHEAsuRK BoGGs DISCHARGED
The judge Ruled That Books Kept by
Another M IN Couldn't Convict.

Tacoma, Dec 1s-At O'clock this
evening, without a line OF evidence being
introduced for The defense. ex-Clty
Treasurer George W. Boggs was acquitted
OF the charge of embezzlement brought
against him early in November. When
the state rested its case, the defense
moved that the case be dismissed and the
defendant discharged. Judge Parker
granted the motion after argument. on
the ground of insufficiency OF evidence.
The jury. under instructions, brought in
a verdict OF not guilty. Mr.. Boggs was
charged with the embezzlement of nearly
81 GO by placing worthless checks and
papers Ia the State Savings bank, and
having them credited TO the city as cash.
This was the result expected after the
courts declaration yesterday that no
man could be sent to the penitentiary on
the evidence Of books kept by another
man.

Now 1t will be observed that the tickets

three tickets were purchased Mr.. Ward

proves that big block of this much-dis-
ayowed issue of tickets is really being
worked off in this city.
10 understand the matter thoroughly il
Is necessary to state that the regular rate
on the tickets mentioned is $50, these
tickets being sold at reduction of S15 30
each.
The Southern Pacific road yesterday sent
kilograms to ell of It's agents revoking Its
recent action in which it notified them that
the old rates would be restored on April 1.
This is due 10 the fact that the Santa Fe
did not meet the Southern Pacific with a
similar notice to its agents, and the latter
road was compelled to retract its notice as
matter of self f-preservation.
Ii is difficult now 10 Tedict what will be
the outcome of the trouble. The war may
90 on with renewed vigOr. or it may be
settled in a few days. Everything now
depends upon the action of the Santa Fe
The local ticket Offices, especially those
of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe, were
full of business yesterday. Most of the
callers were holders of return-trip tickets
to the East. who asked many questions
while having their tickets stamped. They
are allowed side trips to any point in Cali
fornia at large reductions from the regular
fares.
At least one change is contemplated in
the personnel of the board of directors. At
the request of Mrs. Stanford her represen-
tatives will be changed. Ariel Lathrop be-
ing transferred to the larger corporation.

FAIR FINANCES.
They Will Come Up for
Discussion.
The Executive Committee to Report
to the Committee of Fifty
To.Morrow Night.

What promises to be quite an interesting
meeting is scheduled to take place in the
uffiee f the Mayor at the new City Hall
Tomorrow evening, when the executive
committee of the Midwinter Fair will
make its financial report to the committee
of fifty, which has been called together
by the Mayor.
An accountant will be selected to expert
the books. The vacancy created by the
resignation of Irwin G. Stump will be
filed ana then the proposition to reduce
the rice of admission from 90 cents TO %
cents will come up for discussion. The
position of the country press toward the
fair Will also form topic for discussion,
and an endeayor will be made to ascertain
why number of the prominent journals
of the interior have failed to give the fair
a warmer and more cordial support.
1t is understood that upon TWO of the
propositions which will come before the
committee certain members are prepared
to engage in quite spirited debate. One
of these is the proposition to make re-
duction in the rate Of admission and the
other is in relation to the interior press
Chairman le Long of the county CON-
mission called upon Mayor Ellert yester.
day, stating that the fair was suffering
from the criticisms of a portion of the
country press, which he declared had
hsmpered the institution by bellttling it
in the minds of the readers of those
papers. He wished to ascertain the cause
of the antagonism which he found to exist,
and will probably be given an opportunity
at to-morrow's meeting to PROFOUND such
inquiries as he may desire.
1t is promised that a full report of the
financial standing of the fair since its
inception will be made for the benefit of
the committee of fifty and the public.
Mayor Ellert declares that the meeting
was called at the request of the executive
committee of the Worlds Fair, and that
the circulars were sent out in accordance
with that request
1t is reported that some division exists
among the members Of the committee of
fifty, which will develop at the meeting,
and that those who favor a radical de-
parture from the methods which have
characterized the management OF the fair
and who hold that a reduction in the
admission price will increase the gate
receipts and also aid the fair by an in-
creased attendance at the concessions,
from which larger revenues will be drawn
thereby, propose to make themselves
heard, and to advocate the changes which
they believe would be beneficial in no un-
certain language.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting

beneficial properties of perfect lax
