PERSIAN VICTORY
CONSOLES RUSSIA
Slavs Win Battle Against Turks, but
This Small Cheer in View Of
Galicia Defeat.
GERMANS GAIN IN THE WEST

LONDON, May 5.-The Russians
have had at least partial revenge for
the defeat inflicted upon them in
western Galicia by the Austrians
and Germans, by badly beating the
Turks, who had invaded Persia.
The defeat took place in three
days battle near the frontier, and
Petrograd reports that the Russians
inflicted heavy losses on the otto
mans. II the success of the Musco-
vites has been followed up, military
observers declare that Persia now
should be free OF it's unlimited guests.
This battle, however, was a small af-
fair when compared with what Germany
and Austria claim they have done 10
the Russians in Galicia. Their reports
tonight state that some 5000 Russians
were captured and that a large number
OF gums were taken.
No Mention of Towns.
There II no mention, however, OF any
towns. such a. Gorlice and Tarnow,
which were close 20 the front. being
captured. which leads the British mill
tary critics TO the conclusion that while
the Germanic allies have won important
local successes, they have not driven the
Russians very far back. Should they
succeed in doing this. however, Il is
asserted that a general retreat OF the
Russians would be imperative and that
the whole Carpathian offensive, on which
the Musoovites have spent 80 much time
and so many lives. would be completely
nulliped
The Russian side of the story Is anx-
iousIy awaited. for big success in the
east, II Is believed here. would mean an
immediate commencement OF operations
on large scale in the west. for which
the Germans are already, making prepa-
rations.
Confined 60 Ypres Zone.
In Belgium, thus far the fighting has
been confined 20 the Ypres region. where
the Germans claim TO have captured
some villages which the British say they
evacuated In the process Of readjusting
their line.
The rumors concerning the operations
against the Dardanelles were confirmed
tonight VIXEN the British war office
and admiralty issued reports stating that
after beating off Turkish attacks, the
allied forces had taken the offensive on
the Galiipoii peninsula and now we're
advancing into the Interior.

ADDITIONAL SHORTAGE
FOUND IN TREASURY

The announcement is made by James
S. Bogart, expert accountant directed
| by Governor Alexander and Attorney
General Peterson to establish definite
| w. if possible, the total shortage OF
| the state funds, reports that he has dis
covered an additional shortage of $11,-
| 171.50 as a result of the manipulations
of o. V. Allen, defaulting state treas
urer, and his former deputy. Fred M
| Coleman, both of whom are now serv-
| ing terms in the state penitentiary as
self confessed embezzlers. 1t is dis
covered that the shortages date back
to 1912, indicating that he treasury
was being looted during Aliens first
term of office. The following is Be-
CARTS report:
Boise, Idaho, Aug. IL, 1915.
To the Honorable Moses Alexander,
Governor, and Honorable J. H. Pet
erson, Attorney General:
Gentlemen: Pursuant to your re-
quest, 1 herewith submit for your con-
sideration a partial report of my find
ings in endeavoring to obtain evidence
for the legal department of the state
to enable them to recover the admitted
shortage as shown on report OF Mr..
Ramstedt and the Audit company of
Illinois.
l wish you would kindly indicate the
extent you desire my examination to
go and what particular departments
you wish the audit to cover.
In making the examination l was
confronted with the fact that all ir-
regularities have been cleared through
some of the banks of the state, and
with he constnt kiting of checks,
transferring of the states cash from
one bank to another makes the work
necessarily slow and no definite report
can be made without complete exam
nation Of these numerous transactions
so as to finally confirm whether the
state was actually the loser thereby.
Under the former system Of accept
ing the money direct into the state
treasury without the auditors certifi
cate, left the matte entirely in the
hands of the state treasurer, and
should the money be received from
other sources than the regular depart
ments of the state, the reasurer fail
ing to report same to the auditor,
would make an additional shortage not
shown on the cash book (from which
book the Audit cmpany made the re-
port of the shortage.)
Big Task in Sight.
In order to make a complete and
correct report of the state finances II
will be necessary to take the original
receipts of all the departments Of the
state and follow the money into the Of
fee of the state treasurer; the most |
prolific source Of money is the land de-
oartment and the books Of that depart
nent should be carefully examined to-

see il the treasurer gave full credit Tor
all moneys received. The same sug-
gestion applies to the other depart
ments of the state.
In my endeavor to prove the ADMIT
ted shortage Of s92.517.03. find various
items that can easily be covered by
that amount and have enumerated
herein a few of these irregular trans
actions for your information.
There is a book kept by the state
treasurer that is called the bank bal
ance book. In this book are the names
of all the banks in the state having
state money on deposit During the
former treasurer's term Of office, the
active banks were: The First Nation
al bank Of Idaho. the Boise City Ma
tional, the Pacific National, the Idaho
National and the Idaho Trust & Saw
ings bank, ali Of Boise. and 1t was
through these banks the general bust
ness of the office was daily transact
ed.
The total number of banks having
state deposits during this period were
about $50. 1t will be necessary to
check UP the daily balances Of all these
banks for the four years to be sure
that the state has received all the in
terest due it on account Of deposits for
the reason that the state auditor has
only the report of the state treasurer
for interest due and collected.
