Chilean consul to Mexico City, received
an official notice from his government
last night to the effect that the report
circulated last August, at the time Of

Every agency Of the government, In
cluding the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, the secret service, the Federal
grand jury and the court Of equity,
has been set In motion to accomplish
the end desired. While the Interstate
Commerce commission is taking testi-
mony here tending to show that tho
Rio Grande railroad and its allied COM
panics, the Utah Fuel company and tho
Pleasant Valley Coal company, have
been securing by fraudulent means all

if twenty five Or thirty contractors can

arrested for ~personating a juror, pleaded
guilty in the Court Of Special Sessions
Yesterday and was sentenced to three

derson, but the Justice discovered the fraud,
fined Henderson SIS for contempt OF court
and asked the District Attorney to look
mo Tillinghast's case.

that since the prisoners arrest he had
confessed other and graver crimes, but on

could not be prosecuted for them, Filling
hast, he said, confessed that for years he
had been in the employ Of the Metropoli-
tan Street Railway Company and by oolu-
sion with court clerks was placed on juries
i'm cases against the company,
In sentencing T~illinghast Justice Nc
Ayov said he regretted greatly that II was
noN possible to prosecute him IN the graver
charges.
