AT FAIR
IS ARRESTED ION
CHARGE OF FRAUD
Matter Will Be Dropped Ac-
cOrding to Prosecuting At
tOrney RingO

1t was stated by District Attorney
Ringo today that the matter of the al
legged frauds among some of the ticket
sellers and takers at the state fair
this year would be dropped, that he
would carry the prosecution no furth-
er and that no evidence would BE-
placed before the grand jury which is
now in session. Saturday nigAt Cleve
Simpkins, one of the ticket takers at
the main pass gate was arrested by the
fair grounds police, Simpkins was lock-
ed up in the city Jail Saturday nigh
and remained there until this morning
After his arrest it is alleged that the
police secured written confession from
him duplicating another who was sell
ing tickets.
According to the police the confes
sion dated back for two years and at
any rate it caused the ticket seller to
be called out by the police and brought
down town to the station where he was
questioned and then released on his own
recognizance as it was Sunday morning
by this time. Simpkins was booked, as
" Held for Justice Court.
Today, however, the officers in some
instances refused to discuss the matter
and the fair board left the prosecution
up to District Attorney Ringo where
the matter apparently is to be allowed
to rest. 1t was estimated by the fair
board that their losses may An up into
hundreds of dollars, but the evidence
which was alleged to have been obtain
ed only pointed definitely to a much
smaller sum and it ,~ss stated today
that this had been adjusted. Reliable
facts are difficult to procure and the
alleged confession of Simpkins has been
given out.
Owing to the prominence of the par
ties concerned there was wide interest
in the. matter today and many rumors
were afloat but little definite inf0rma
tion was obtainable. According to the
officers of the fair tickets were being
taken up at the pass gate and returned
to the ticket seller who resold them
The fair grounds police had been on the
lookout for alleged frauds but were
unable to secure any evidence until q
spotter" was placed near the main
entrance The spotter reported, accord
ing to Chief of the Fairgrounds Police
Burnett, that he saw Simpkins drop .
cash fare ticket into his pocket and
called him to account for it. Simpkins
is alleged to have replied that he gave
the ticket to the gateman on the cash
gate. This the gateman denied anc
Simpkins said he gave it to another
who likewise denied it. The arrest
was then made and it was reported thai
40 tickets were found amounting to $lt
in cash as some of them were hall
tickets
1t is said by the police that othci
schemes were being promoted at thu
fair this year which caused the faii

Not Aggressive, Saws Premier.


London, Oct 4.--The obstinate re-
fusal of Serbia and Greece to recognize
Bulgaria's rights in Macedonia, forced
the mobilization that has brought Bul
gara to the brink of war, Premier Rad
oslavoff declared in an exhaustive
statement telegraphed today to the
United Press.
His statement sent in reply to O re-
quest for an announcement of Bul.
garia s intention says:
81 can only amplify my recent declas
rations why the Bulgarian government
has adopted an attitude of armed neu-
tralty similar to that which Switzer-
lend and Holland assumed at the be-
ginning of the war.
"These reasons are Of political
the different theatres Of war, bringing
about the near approach of confla'
grafton in the Balkans.
"The resumption Of the AustroGer-
man offensive against Serbia, together
with movement Of troops in neighbor.
ing states were matters to which the
Bulgarian government could no longer
remain a party.
Moreover, changes in the political
situation from the obstinate refusal Of
Serbia and Greece TO recognize Bul-
garia in Maeedona, after clear explicit
recognition thereof by all the great
powers, called for q new policy on the
part Of Bulgaria. Mobilization was
therefore forced upon us from every
point Of view.
"But, il must be said, and I insist
on this point. that our mobilization has
no aggressive character. II was taken
with the sole object Of assuring reali-
zation Of Bulgaria 5 legitimate claims.
We are firmly resolved TO defend by
force of arms our rights and our indie
pendenee.'

Discourses On Speculation

consequences of specializing in the pres.

sounded today by Samuel Untermeyer,
financial expert.
Writing to Rev. c. +. Reisner, in re-

the public been threatened with so don
gerous a pitfall as that which is wide

speculation that has seized the general

from ocean to ocean, for which the pub
lie, as usual, will pay dearly in the end.
"This latest experience will not be
in vain, although the cost be heavy, if
it arouses public sentiment to the poiat
of compelling government regulation to
convert the exchange into a great legi-
innate, responsible security market

! Sounding a warning against specula-

GREAT DAM WAS
DEDICATED IN
IDAHO NEAR BOISE
Ceremony Marks Completion
Of Twelve Million Dollar
Irrigation Project

Boise, Ida, Oct. 4,--Arrowrock dam,
built to create storage reservoir in
the Boise river for irrigation Of lands

dedicated today. Special trains were
run to the dam site from cities and
towns on the project and great crowds
witnessed the ceremonies.
The speakers were j. II. Lowell, rep.
resenting the United States reclamation
service; Governor Alexander for the
state, and ID. r. Hubbard for the set
tiers
Flocks Of pigeons, taken to the dam
from all parts of the project were re-
leased at the conclusion of the cere-
monies. Each bird carried message
of good cheer to the settlers.
Excursions will be run to the dam
every day this week.
The dam is % miles upstream from
Boise and is the key to the Boise irriga-
tion project, the largest thus far under
taken by the United States reclamation
service. Two hundred and thirty-four
thousand acres in the valley and on the
benches adjacent to Boise, Nampa,
Caldwell and number of smaller com
munities, will be benefited.
In the construction Of this system the
reclamation service solved the problem
