resort in Goldfields, says a dispatch

Hatch was wearing evening dress,

let out a yell, surrounded him and
made him prisoner. In spite of bis
protests he was taken to rear room
and mounted upon a dry goods box.
Then "spieler" took up station at
the door, announcing that every one
could view the exhibit at 80 cents
each. For thirty minutes a stream or
men paid their half dollars to look at
Hatch In his swallowtail.
To show they were good fellows the

time immemorial Kansas has been
pelted from space with innumerable
meteorites, which are much sought af-

FAIR AWARDS FOR SALE :?
THE UTAH LEGISLATURE MAKES
AN INVESTIG ALTON.
IL Charge That the Distribution OF
Medals and Ribbons at st. Louis
Was a Gigantic Fraud.

Medals and Ribbons at st. Louis
Was a Gigantic Fraud.
Corsets, twpewriters and many other
useful articles have been lavishly adj
vertised as having received grand
prizes, highest awards and other hon
ors at the Louisiana purchase exposi-
ton in st. Louis. One can scarcely
open newspaper without finding the
announcement of some proud possess
or of highest reward from ST.
Louis.
And now comes special committee
of the Utah legislature which says
that, the distribution of medals, rib
bons and things was a gigantic fraud.
The committee was sent to st. Louis
to inquire into certain irregularities
in the accounts of the Utah fair com
mission. The committee reports:
eve are unanimous in reporting
that, according to our knowledge and
belief, the socalled awards, consisting
of medals, ribbons, ETC., supposedly
given as marks of merit by the St.
Louis official award committee by au-
thority of the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position to the socalled successful ex-
hibitOrs are in our opinion an i'm
mense and gigantic fraud. "
The report charges that socalled
awards of merit are being issued "by
straw corporation" for the sole pur-
pose of being sold to be used in com
mercial way as advertising matter.
The committee reports the substance
of a conversation with an agent alleg-
ed to be employed specially to sell
these awards on commission.
The alleged agent, the report says,
exhibited one award "of special mer-
it, that he said he had sold for $500,
and stated to the committee that a
certain well known manufacturing
concern had paid as high has $40, 600
for a socalled official award to be
used for advertising.
The committee further charges that
legitimate medals were held back by
the exposition managers to promote
this traffic in awards.

MIR. WHITES PLEA.

William Allen White enters a plea of
guilty to the charge that he stands dis
credited and dishonored because he as
sured the voters of Kansas last fail that
as soon as election was over Attorney
General Coleman would do something
about the shortages in the state treas
ury. Those who know the dislike of the
attorney general for anything Of a dis
agreeable nature warned Mr.. White
against backing Coleman-but he would
do it, and now he confesses that he was
wrong. The Kingman Leader-Courier
brings the charge against Mr.. White in
this way:
Attorney General Coleman insisted
last fall that Immediately after the
election he would proceed. criminallv
and civilly against the 1ooters of the
Kansas state treasury The Emporfa
Gazette added its guarantee to Cole
mans promise. Today the paper of
both stands discredited and dishonored.' -
After quoting the charge, Mr. White
enters a plea of guilty, as follows:
THE Kingman paper has stated the
exact fact. It is unusual for the Ga
zette to go on the paper of any poll
tician. 1t is much more unusual for the
Gazette to get caught. The Gazette
guaranteed that Attorney General Cole
man would act after election, believing
that the facts would justify action. The
Gazette still feels that the facts do JUS
tify action and that Nj. Coleman
should make good.
In the meantime the legislature has
appropriated $4,000 to investigate the
charges against Kelly, and the governor
has appointed a sensible commission to
take the matter in hand That gives
the Gazette an extension on its note.
and puts Hoch and the commission on
as endorsers. The Gazette is willing to
admit that it should have kept off this
paper, that it should have protected its
credit.
