SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. ls.-Joseph
Hillstrom, the young |. w. w. leader
who was convicted of numbering two
men here for the purpose Of robbery
in January 1914, was legally executed
by the state at AZ o'clock this morn
ing.
Hillstrom was shot through the
heart while blindfolded and strapped
in chair in the prison yard. He was
pronounced dead in thirteen seconds
after the shot was fired. The doctors
said the execution was humane and
obviously superior to hanging"
President Wilson's intercession on
two occasions and the pleadings of the
Swedish government failed to save the
condemned man. Hillstroms unsup-
ported defense that he was at the
house of married woman on the night
the two men were murdered was dis
regarded by the authorities and he
Went to his death with the woman's
name, if his story was true as his
own secret as she did not come for
ward to save him.
Hillstrom went to his death fighting
insanely. He had concealed q broom
handle in his cell and when the door
of the death cell was opened to take
him to his doom he leaped upon the
guards, swinging his club. but was
overpowered. When he saw that fur.
ther resistance was useless, he settled
down to an apathetfc calm.
While circumstantial evidence con-
victed Hillstrom of the murders, his
own attempt to defend himself in
court and his refusal to tell where he
was on the night of the crime, helped
to send him to his DOOM Hillstrom's
plea that he was in married woman's
company and he consistently adhered
to the declaration that he would rather
die than ruin her good name.
Hillstrom appeared shortly after the
murders with bullet wound in his
shoulder. Blood spots showed that the
Morrisons wounded their assaiiant.
The man with whom Hillstrom lived
disappeared after the murder. The
missing man was believed to have died
at the hands of Utah firing squad.
according to law Only four ever chose
to be hanged. The procedure sched-
uled for today was fixed by precedent.
Extraordinary precautions were taken
to guard officials, from the governor
and supreme court justices down to
Sheriff John oCrless. who was to give

ACTION MAY FORFEIT VESSEL
Vessel had Taken on Large Quanti- ties of Coal and Provisions Which
 was Believed to Have Been for some War Vessel on the High Seas.

Washington, March 22.-While the guns of Moro castle hold the Ham. burg American liner Odenwald pris- oner in the harbor of San Juan, Por- to Rico officials of the United Statea government are considering the ques. tion whether the steamers captain shall be prosecuted for his attempt to leave San Juan Sunday without clear ance papers. It is hoped that no de- cision will be reached until mora complete reports are received from the authorities at San Juan.
 Lieutenant Colonel Durham, com. handing the Porto Rican regiment cabled the war department that 1t had been necessary 10 fire sAots across the Odenwald's bow to keep her from putting to sea Sunday a.. though on Friday in the presence of the customs collector, he had form ally warned the captain that ne wouli be fired upon if he started out of the harbor without being cleared.
 Clearance had been withheld on ac. count of what the customs officials considered suspicious circumstances The ship, it is understood has no other cargo than coal and supplies.
 Under a joint resolution passed by congress during the closing hours of the last session the president is au- tnorzed to direct collectors of GUS toms to hold clearance from any yes. sel which he has reasonable cause to believe to be about to carry fuel. arms ammunition, men or supplies to any warship tender or supply ship of a belligerent nation. The resolution further provides that if any such ves- sels departs or attempts from the jurisdiction of the United States without our clearance for the purpo- ses set forth it shall be forfeited to the United States and the owner or master or person or persons having charge or command"
 Officials of the state. war, treasury and justice departments were in con. fere9ce over the case today and they win consult further when complete yepOrs have been received,
 It bcame known today that the treasury department has had it's at. tention called to the Hamburg Ameri- can liner Saxony now laid up at Wins. low, Washington with cargo of grain loaded at Portland, Oregon last July for Hamburg. Recent activities aboard this vessel have caused oft cials to take steps to make sure that she will not put to sea again without inspection.

 So far as is known this is the first money to be paid out by the prize court on American foodstuffs seized
 The owners of the cargo of food stuffs on board the American steam. CT Wilhelmina destined for Germany are becoming discouraged over the delay of the prize court in giving the case a hearing IL now seems un. likely that the case will come up March 29, the date tentatively set after previous postponement,
 A. G Hayes, attorney for W. l.. Green and company of St. Louis, owners of the cargo said tonight:
 Tt is difficult 10 avoid suspecting the case perhaps is being intention ally delayed so that if the court ulti- mately decides that the foodstuffs may proceed 10 Germany they will have routed meantime. An American would find it hard to choose between jndiscriminate destruction and regul- lated capture"
