EXPOSITION AWARDS
HELD UP AS-fRAUDS
Utah Legislators Report Entire
System as Gigantic
SwindIe

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March IL.
The special committee recently sent
10 st. Louis by the lower house of the
legislature Of Utah TO investigate ir-
regularities in the accounts of Utah's
commission TO the Louisiana Purchase
exposition has presented a report that
is severe in it's criticism of the man
agement Of the exposition. The report
says:
I'VE are unanimous in reporting that.
according TO our knowledge and belief,
the so-called awards, consisting of
medals, ribbons. etc. supposedly given
as marks of merit by the St. Louis Of
ficial award ribbon committee by au-
thority of the LouisiaE Purchase ex-
position, TO the so-called successful
exhibitors. are in our opinion an i'm
mense and gigantic fraud"
The report charges that the so-called
awards of merit are being issued by
a straw corporation" for the sole pur-
pose of being sold to be used in a
commercial way as advertising mat
ter. The committee reports the sub
stance of a conversation with an agent
alleged to be employed especially to
sell these awards on commission. The
alleged agent, the report says, ex-
hibited one award 'of special merit"
that he said he had sold for $500 and
stated to the committee that a GER
tain well known manufacturing con-
Germ had paid as high as $4,000 for a
so-called official award to be used for
advertising.
The committee further charges that
legitimate medals were being held back
by the exposition management to pro-
mote this traffic in awards
/ In its investigation OF the Utah COM
mission, the committee verified various
charges OF Irregularities, including
forgeries of vouchers aggregating ST.
100. The legislature will be asked TO
appropriate $1,000 to cover the deficit
in the funds of the state commission.

the defeated and sorely tried Russian
forces. While a small portion of Ku-
ropatkin's army has reached Tie pass.
the greater part of those who escaped
from the battle of Mukden are still
struggling onward, being at last ac-
counts between twelve and sixteen
miles from their goal, with the Japa-
nese, flushed with victory and REIN
forced by fresh men, harassing them
from all sides.
Unable to Make Stand
Even should the remnant of the army
reach Tie pass ii is hardly possible for
it to make a stand there against the
overwhelming force opposing it, espe-
cially as the Russians must be worn
out and weakened by the loss of men,
guns and ammunition. 1t is more like
ly that kuropatkin will fall right back
to Harbin with what he can save and
wait there for reinforcements that St.
petersburg already has promised him.
A possible obstacle to the plan Is Gen.
kawamura's army, which has not yet
been located and which may also be
heading for the northern capital.
Gen. Kuropakin admits that 1.19O
officers and 46,931 men are not re-
spending to roll calls. This is rather
vague. 1t may or may not include the
thousands of wounded who have been
sent north, and again II may not in
clude the losses suffered by the third
army, with which the commander In
chief was not in communication for
some time. The figures given by the

MRS. CHADWICK TO
APPEAL THE VERDICT
Attorney Says Client Was Un.
fortunate In the Personnel
of Jury

CLEVELAND, o., March 12-In
speaking tonight of the verdict of the
jury in the trial of his client, Mrs
Chadwick, j. p. Dawley, her senior
counsel, said the verdict was not ac-
cording to the terms of the indictment
and the case would be taken to the
court of appeals at Cincinnati as soon
as possible.
Mr.. Dawley saw Mrs. Chadwick for
a time at the jail today and said she
was somewhat prostrated over the YER
dict, but he assured her he felt there
were good grounds for hoping for a
reversal of the verdict and that this
information cheered Mrs. Chadwick
considerably. Mr.. Dawley said that his
client had very unfortunate jury, men
wholly unaccustomed to banking trans
actions or dealing largely i'm the bor-
rowing of money, certifying checks.
etc. II the jurymen could have elm
mated from their minds, Mr.. Dawley
added, the Impressions they probably
had formed and tried the prisoner on
the one question involved in the indict-
ment he felt sure the verdict would
have been different.
Opinion of Attorneys
Prominent attorneys with whom he
had talked and who had followed the
case, gave IL as their opinion that no
case had been made against Mrs. Chad
wick.
Mr.. Dawley said the jury could not
have deliberated any great length of
time on the different counts. Scarcely
two hours were taken up with their
consideration and they were of so in
tricate a character that a couple of
days would be requisite to give them
due consideration. No conspiracy, Mr.
Dawley- said, to certify checks was
proved by the testimony.
Mrs. Chadwick had nothing to do
with the business of the bankers. she
had right to rely on their Judgment,
for they knew what they were doing.
A person on trial in the United
States court, Mr.. Dawley said, is con-
sidered to be at very great disad-
vantage. The jurors are taken from
the farmers principally. They do not
seem to get anybody from the cities,
and it can be readily seen that how
ever honest man is with reference to

TAKES DIRE REVENGE
! WITH DEADLY RIFLE
Denver Teamster Killed After
Fierce Battle Behind
Barred Doors

DENVER, Cello, March H. - Three
persons dead. one missing. four others
In a critical condition and one house in
ashes sums up briefly the result of a
fierce combat today in which George
Schistler. teamster, played the lead
ing part.
Maddened because of defeat in law
suit, in which Kent Fill, the man whom
he pronounced his bitterest enemy, had
been victorious, and swearing venge-
ance against him and his family.
Schistler armed himself with a rifle
and started out to do murder. Tonight
Mr.. and Mrs. Fill and George Schistler
are dead. child of the Fills is miss
! ing, believed to have been burnt to
death; DR.. Frank Dulin, police sur
geon; Capt. William Bohanna. acting
chief OF police. and Mike Kelly, police
man, are seriously wounded: and the
wife OF Schistler is Frustrated over the
affair and may die from the shock.
Brooded Over Troubles
Schistler had brooded over his trou-
bles with the Fill family, who were
immediate neighbors, and announced
today that he would even up matters.
Taking rifle of improved pattern, and
DuchlnB on Deit OF SmOkeleSS car
tridges, he started for the Fill home.
Fill saw Schistler approaching and
heard his muff1ed threats. He tried to
avoid him by entering the house. but
Schistler sent a bullet into his brain
with the accuracy of a marksman. He
fell dead. Mrs. Fill rushed to her hus-
bands side and received bullet from
Schistler's rifle, fired with unerring
aim. She. too. fell dead. alongside the
lifeless body of her husband. Not con-
tent with the fullness of his vengeance,
Schistler then set fire to the Fill home,
which was destroyed.
A son of the Fills is missing and is
believed TO have perished in the flames.
Satisfying himself that the flames
would perform their mission Schistler
returned to his own home and barri-
caded himself inside. In the meantime
neighbors appeared on the scene, but
quickly retreated when bullets from
Schistler's rifle began falling near
them. A telephone message was sent
to police headquarters a8i an ambu-
lance with Police Surgeon Dulin. Capt

OF this part of the city, but so far as

fighting for.
I'VE stand today the same as we
did before the council compromised
the matter. We were always only In
favor of a compromise that would force
the street railway company to comply

quest. A simple demand that the COM
pany should conduct it's business ac-

same as any other person or corpora

what he thought OF the compromise,
humorously stated that he thought the

RUSSIANS LEAVE BULLION
Special Gable to The Globe

TOKYO, March 13.-The over
whelning character of the Japa-
nese victory is now unfolding
itself. The total Russian losses
number 250,000, and the battle is
still raging. One fact, almost
unprecedented in warfare, is that
the Japanese have captured a
vast amount of bullion, and this
in itself indicates that the con-
fusion is so great that the Rus
slams are now trying only to save
themselves.
