AN OFFICIAL INDICTED.
County Treasurer Charged With En-
hexzlement and Fraud.

pGELlGHCnl GDQ EtG0ds t"t
Pomeroy, o., Oct. 29.-After investi-
eating for a month the grand jury in
dicted County Treasurer Thomas j.
Chase, charging the embezzlement or
s14,500 from the county treasury on
September 8, when he claimed that
the treasury was looted by masked rob-
bers and himself locked up in the vault.
When Chase was brought from the
county treasury into the court his
bonds were fixed at $4,000. AS he was
unable to furnish bail he was remanded'
to jail.
The. arrest of Chase caused no sur
prise In Meiggs county, but there is
much excitement over the fact that
there are indictments against other
persons. Chase claims that Two un-
known masked men entered his office
and robbed the safe, locked him in the
vault and made their escape In day
light without being seen by anyone
about the court house or the town.
Chase was found locked up by his
daughter, who rushed to the local bank
and then to the fair grounds for SOM
one who could open the vault. 1t was
shown to the jury that at least half a
dozen men were sitting in front OF the
court house all forenoon of September
9 and saw no strangers.
AS ~oon as the indictment against
Chase was reported the grand jury re-
sumed it's investigation on the theory
that there was at least one, probably
two, confederates, one to turn the conl-
bination on the vault door, one at the
outside door and possibly another
keeping watch outside of the building.

st. Petersburg. Oct. 29.-Grand Duke
Serge, governor OF Moscow. recently
summoned Morozoff, the greatest en-
ployer Of labor in Russia, to his palace
and told him he must subscribe more
for the army and other war require
ments. Morozoff replied that If he did
so contribute he must have represen-
tatives on the administrative fund to
see that all contributions are applied
to patriotic purposes.
Grand Duke Serge demanded to know
wat he meant, ~whereupon Morozoff
retorted that he had given a million
rubles' worth of his cloth at the COM
mencement of the war for the Man
churian army, and since then he had
seen the same clota sold in the Moscow
shops.
Grand Duke Serge angrily demanded
an apology from the plain spoken Moro
zoff or he would be given his passports
and be compelled to leave Russia.
Morozoff refused to apologize, and he
was given his passports.
Before leaving he gave instructions
that all his factories shoul be closed,'
thus throwing $1,000 employees out of
work. At this point the government
INTERVIEWED and caused Grand Duke
Serge to withdraw his order. Conse-
quently Morozoff remains In Moscow.
The event is being widely discussed.
