STOLEN FROM THE STATE TREASURY

James Christensen. state treasurer for
the fouT-year term ended at the begin
ming of the present year, last night con-
fessed to thefts made while treasurer OF
Utah, amounting to s7O.62S.9L He is now
under surveillance in his room at the
Cullen hotel. The amount of the shortage
has already been deposited lin Mccormick
& Co.'S bank by the bondsmen and
friends of Mr.. Christensen, so that the
state will lose nothing by the defslcation.
The embezzlemeDt of Mr. Christensen
was discovered only few days ago
through the checking OF the accounts by
the state board of examiners consisting OF
Governor William Spry, c s Tingey, sec
rotary of state, and A. r. Barnes, att0r-
ney general, working with Jesse D.
Jewkes, state auditor. and David Matt
son, state treasurer. So cleverly were the
shOrta ges covered by the former state
treasurer that il took the utmost skill TO
discover that the discrepancies in ac-
counts was due to an actual defalcation,
not a clerical error.
At the time the discovery OF the short
age was made Mr.. Christensen was in
Chafey. New. where he has extensive
mining interests. Sheriff Joseph {. Sharp
and two OF his bOndsmen, j. c. Lynch
and Frank Knox, went to Chafey in
the meantime a wire had been sent to

OPERATORS STANDING PAT
Demands of United Mine Workers in
the Anthracite Fields Refused
Counter Proposition Made.

Philadelphia. March 1.-THE anthra-
cite coal operators refused all the de-
mands of the United Mine Workers and
made a counter proposition that the pres
ent agreement be continued for another
three years. The conference adjourned
for the afternoon.
The mine workers officials expected the
decision. Thomas Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, de-
clined, however. to comment on the out
come beyond stating that he and the COM
mittee would discuss it before taking ac-
ton. The miners and operators will meet
again tomorrow.
A statement for the public, agreed on
by both sides. says:
1.-THE operators declined 30 accede to the
demands. The chief reason offered for
the rejection was that any increase in
the cost of production would pecessitate
an advance in the price of cosf and that
such an advance was impracticabie. The
operators said that wages in the anthra-
cite mining industry we're already at a
high level and could not be increased

PLANS OF INTERNATIONAL
Organization of New Smelling Com
pany to Be Announced Shortly
Refining Plant Acquired.
Especial TO The HeraidD


New York, March 1.-THE organization
of the International Smelling 6 Refining
company, the 100000 rival of the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company, is
nearing conn letion. and an announce
meut of the interests identified with the
company is expected in the near future.
The announcement of the oTganiza ton
of the company viii be accompanied by a
statement which will show that it will
start out as a going concern. One OF the
largest refining plants in the world has
been acquired and il is understood that
other acquisitions will be announced. The
construction of the new smelling plant,
which will handle the ores of the Utah
Consolidated and other mines in the Utah
district is progressing rapidly. Seven
thousand tons of steel for the new plant
were ordered a short time ago. IL is fig
ured that earnings in the first year will
run close to 10 per cent, due largely to
the ACQUISITION of operating plants.
The interests of the new company will
adhere to the policy of giving mine own
ers much lower smelling and refining
charges than now exist A general adj
justuaent of smelling and refining charges
is anticipated in this country as well as
in Canada and Mexico.

Several prominent men of Salt Lake and
other parts Of Utah were interested in
this enterprise.
Mr.. Christensen admits his guilt freely
and declares that the amount discovered
to be short by the state board of exam
lners IS the total amount stolen Those
who nave been investigating the matter
are inclined to believe that this statement
is true although a thorough investigation
OF the accounts is being made under the
supervision of the state administration.

prisoner. John Junken, the confessed
murderer Of Clara Rosen. the Ottumwa
choir singer, managed to escape what he
believed to be the approach of a mob
and landed his prisoner in the state peni-
Tertiary at Fort Madison. He left the
jail in Sigolrney last night for his drive
across the country upon the receipt of a
telegram from OttumWa that q mob was
coming. During the evening Fred Rosen,
brother of the dead girl, and four other
men from Ottumwa appeared at the Jail
and asked to see the prisoner. They were
strangers to the sheriff and represented
that they were from Galesburg, Ill The
sheriff consented to permit them to get
a glimpse of the prisoner, but before they
entered the corridor they were searched
and four revolvers taken from them. 1t
developed that they were in communica-
ton with the ROSen vigilance committee
at Ottumwa.
