SCHULTZ HELD ON
CHARGE Of TAKING
COUNTY FUNDS
FORBES ROBERTSON, CALLED AS
WITNESS ON lNsisTENcE OF
DEFENSE. ADMITS l. o. U. sYs
TEN OBTAINED IN OFFICE.

Anthony J. Schultz. ex-cashier in the
county treasurer's office under Forbes
Robertson. was held to the recorders
day morning. on the charge OF mis-
appropriating 1861. belonging TO the
county. Bail was reduced from $4,000
with two sureties to $4,000 with one
surety, which Schultz expects TO fur
nish. He had no bondsman ready and
was remanded to the sheriffs custody
until the bond Is forthcoming.
Former Treasurer Robertson, now
county auditor, was the only witness
examined Friday. the defense having
insisted on his being called. 1t is
Schulte's contention that his acts were
merely In line with the loose methods
that prevailed In the office. and 1t was
on this particular point that Robert
sons testimony was most desired. At
torney Crosse asked a number OF en-
barrassing questions, and Mr.. Robert
son was visibly annoyed at times. Also
he displayed very bad memory a4ld
the examination, accordingly. was
none too fruitful Of results.
Mr.. Robertson, however, admitted
that Schultz had cashed two checks
for him, one for $3.50 last August.
which was his own personal affair, and
one for $195 sometime later The lat
ter. he said. he had cashed as a favor
to friend named Beattie.
Mr.. Crosse tried to show that Rob-
ertson. on the last day he was In the
county treasurer's office. had paid in a
large sum out OF his own pocket, some
$1.100. TO take up his personal l. o.
us that had been carried In the cash,
but In this he was unsuccessful. Mr..
Robertson denied emphatically that
such was the case. He admitted,
though, that the I. o. u. system had
been In vogue In the office with his
knowledge.
Robertson explained that he consid.
cred the |. o. us as cash.
Attorney Crosse decided not to put
I'm any defense at this time. In sub
hitting his case to the court, he con-
tended that the prosecution had fail
ed to prove that the money received
by Schultz from the taxpayers who
left their receipts and checks with
him had not gone into the county
treasury. and that no formal demand
had been made on Schultz to make
good the amount. The argument fall
ed to carry weight with the court.
I'm my opinion" said Justice Jeff-
ries, the moment a public official
takes money not belonging TO him he
becomes liable under the law"
He added. significantly:
I'm not saying that Schultz Is the
only one liable over there in the coun-
ty building. but that question Is not
In issue here. Schultz Is the only de-
PENDANT now before the court"

Advices received recently by the

These commissioners will be headed by
Baron Shibusawa, who visited the Uni

The japanese commissioners will be
accompanied by fifteen trade experts

the Pacific coast they will be joined
by fifteen American trade experts. Five
of the latter are to. be appointed by

not proposed to have their time taken

Home Industry in Colorado.

This state is gradually coming to
the front as manufacturing center.
Raw materials are much cheaper and
easier to obtain here than in the
extreme eastern states. The home
market for machinery and articles of
all kinds is good, partly due to the
patriotic spirit of the citizens to help
home industry by their patronage.
1t is rather hard now for some OF
the factories to obtain skilled labor at
this time, but with our boys and girls
growing up and learning the different
trades this difficulty will be overcome.
People can live much cheaper and bet
ter in this state than they can in the
eastern states on account of the lower
prices of farm and garden products.
By the increased home demand for
these products prices will of course
become higher. This is where the
farmer gets his pay for patronizing
home industries.
