JAIL DELIVERY
Two Austrians Held for Shooting AZ
fray Make Good Their
Escape.

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Bingham, Dec. 29.-Matt Dickovfch
and Sam SavOvicn, two Austrians. who
were arrested early Monday morning
I0r the shooting of Fred Herbert a
Flnlander, broke iail this morning and
MADE good their escape despite the eff
Iorts Of the officers to track them
The escape was discovered by Off
Ger White at about 6 o'clock this morn
ing. He said he had been to the iail
about o'clock and everything was in
good order, so he feels convinced that
the two men made their escape some
O'Clock.
There is not an exceptionally strong
door on the jail there, and the prisoners
are kept in steel cages. When Off
Ger White entered the Jail at about
O'Clock, he found one of the bars on
the cage IN which the two men had
been confined taken out, and as to
remove these bars would require a
wrench, he IS of the opinion that the
two men must have received assist
ance from the outside.
D1ckOvich and SavOvich were in a
party of three Austrians returning IN
the canyon to their homes at about
80 o'clock last Sunday morning when
they met party of six Fins who were
carrying several bottles of beer. It
Is supposed that the AuStrians asked
Tor q drink, which was refused them.
and a free fight was started. The Fins
are alleged to have beaten the Aus
TRANS over the head with the beer
bottles, when one Of the three Aus
trlans fired q shot at Herbert and,
missing, ran up to close quarters and
shot Herbert through the abdomen. At
first it was thought that Herbert was
fatally wounded but he is now ex-
pected to recover.

duces a big-boned, weli-devel.
oped, mentally energetic race.
His experiments prove that
good oatmeal such as Quaker
Scotch Oats not only furnishes
the best food for the human be-
ing, but eating il strengthens
and enlarges the thyroid gland
this gland is intimately con-
nected with the nourishing
processes of the body.
In conclusion he says
It seems probable therefore
that the bulk and brawniness Of
the Northemers (meanina the

measure due to the stimulation
Of the thyroid gland by oatmeal

NEW WORKERS ROBBED
BY THE MILK DEALERS
Enormous Profits on the Basis of
Eight Cents Per Quart, but the
Price Was Raised,

New York, Dec. 29.-The investiga-
ton into the so-called milk trust by
Special Deputy Attorney General Cole
man, was given added impetus today by
a discovery made by Marvyn Scudder,
the accountant employed by the state
to go over the books Of the larger milk
companies in this city.
Counsel for the Borden Condensed
Milk company, controlling % per cent
of the fluid milk trade in this city, and
the Sheffield SlawsOn-De
company, were engaged today prepar-
ing to meet the analysis of Mr.. Scud-
der, who has placed his findings before
the referee.
Mr.. Scudder said the books of the
Borden company showed that more
than 600 of the $4,000, 600 capital
stock represented trade marks, good
will" which the accountant said repre-
scented nothing tangible in the way of
assets, On the company's capitaliza-
ton a dividend Of per cent was paid
on the preferred and 10 per cent paid on
the common stock.
Mr.. SCuddeT said the books showed a
surplus of S8,S24, 230 made I'm ten years.
and Special Deputy Attorney General
Coleman is preparing to ask the COM
pany that if such profits are made with
milk at 8 cents a quart, what justifica-
ton was there in raising the price to 9
cents a quart?
Mr.. Scudder further showed that Of
the Sheffield Farms cOmpany's capital
izatiOn of $500 600, more than $500. 900
was for sOOd viii. etc. The Sheffield
company paid Is per cent dividends last
year, and to date this year p per cent
on its stock, and its surplus was 1852, 672,
nearly double the capital stock
Enormous profits were shown to have
been made by the Alexander Campbell
Milk company at 8 cents a quart.
The Campbell company supplies more
than 100000 bottles Of milk every
month to Brooklyn families, and Mr..
Scudder showed that the net profits of
the company for the six months ending
last June were S49 $50, or at the rate Of
Is per cent on the cOmpany's capital
With the purpose Of refuting the as
sertiOn that the companies lost money
selling milk at 8 cents a quart, Mr..
Scudder submitted figures from the
books of the Borden company showing
that during the nine months Of this year
ending September 30 last, the company
made clear profit on fluid milk and
cream In New York and Chicago Of ST.
076,7l2 This sum exceeds by 1922, 947
the net profits in the same branch of the
business in the corresponding months
Of 1908
Mr.. Scudder showed that the net prof
its of the Sheffield company were
greatly in excess in 1909 over 1908.

Brigham City representative Of the school
board. but nothing was done by any
member Of the board to relieve the situa-
ton. However, the claim is made in the
last issue Of the Box Elder News that
members Of the board and the county
superintendent worked with the teachers
individually and urged them 10 put aside
personal feeling for the good Of the High
school"
So far as the present writer's Of this
article are concerned, the above state
ment is not true, and moreover, we want
the public to know that as far as we are
concerned, personal feelings have never
entered this controversy.
In view Of this state Of affairs, know
ing the progress of the school was a.
stake. the following petition was pre-
scented:
After having given your plan a fair
and impartial trial, we have reached the
conclusion that it is a failure and that
our school is in a critical condition. We
are convinced that the school is going
to pieces and in justice to the support

Especial to The d-RepubIican)
Richfield, Dec. pa. Lauritzen and
W. S. Rust with c. F. Brown, an engi-
neer Of Salt Lake, have returned from
their trip to the proposed big reclama-
ton scheme near St. George. They made
a survey of the canal from the proposed
diversion works on the Virgin river to
the Short Greek reservoir site and find
ample fall for the water from the river
to the land to be reclaimed. The canal
will be about twelve miles in length, and
half of that distance will be tUnnelin9 at
various points along the route and there
viii be considerable fiuming to be done,
but the scheme is found to be perfectly
feasible. ". s. Rust will start for Chi
cagO tomorrow to present the engineer
findings to the financial hackers of the
scheme.
On their trip south they found many of
the settlers along the Virgin river who
are willing to relnQush their prior water
rights to the company for land and water
under the new project as they want to
get away from the riy6f, where the floods
damage their crops each year.

POPULAR YOUNG WOMAN
Is CALLED BY DEATH

Ephraim, Dec. 29-One Of the saddest
deaths to occur at Redmond was that Of
Mrs. Myrtle POulsen, who died yesterday
morning after an illness of only a few days.
She was the wife of NOTOni Poulsen and
was born in Redmond 20 years ago. She
has always been I'm perfect health until
the morning Of December "A, when she was
taken suddenly in and gradually grew
worse until relieved by death. Dr. West
of Sallna was in attendance and all was
done to save her life, but nothing seemed
to relieve her suffering. Her death has
cast gloom over the entire community
as she was among the popular young
women of the town. During the last
season her husband had been attending
the B. Y. L. at Provo and had just re-
turned home to spend the holidays Mrs.
Poulsen was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Frantzen, who are highly respected
citizens Of that place. She was married
to Mr.. POulsen about two years ago and
a baby eight months of age is left moth
erless.

Chief Makes Denial.

Especial to The Herald-Republican
Ogden, Dec. 29.-Answering the report
OF the National Beard of Underwriters,
regarding the city of Ogden, as mere
preteXt on the part of the insurance com
paules Tor maintaining their present high
rate, IT. j. Paine, chief of the Ogden fire
department, issues an emphatic counter
statement 10 the report ia an interview
here tonight. He said.
The entire report is but a scarehead,
issued from Interior motives, and the
best OF recommendations, while commend
able, are such as could be made to al
most any city i'm the United States Of
OSdens size Should they be carried out
there would be absolutely no need nor
uel1 for Insurance companies in ogden.
THE report is not based upon statistics,
but is merely mass Of cOnjectures
founded ON probabilities as they APP
peared 70 the investigating board As a
matter of fact, Ogden has one of the
best records of any city of its size in che
United States The report compiled under
government direction for the year 1858
shows Ogden to have suffered a confla-
grafton loss of So cents per capita, the
population estimated at 5000. Only few
other cities of the same class had a
lower average, and these were towns that
covered areas only One-fOurth as great
as Ogden. The same report shows that
Salt Lake, estimated at 10000 population,
suffered a loss of SECS per capita. Other
towns ran as high as SIS per capita.
The recommendations concerning the
strengthening of the fire department. are
valuable and should be followed. as
should the recommendations for better
water facilities, but their claim that the
ogden business district is open to the haz-
ardOus COnf1EratiOn is exaggerated The
wide streets, the vacant spaces in the
rear or the buildings and the fairly good
building construction are all contrary TO
the findings of the report, and though
there is much room for improvement /
see no reason for such an alarming re-
port as that just made by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters
The stand taken by the chief of the
fire department is the general opinion of
many of the business men. The asser-
ton is commonly made that prejudice and
Interior motives are behind the report
