department of commerce that an
ample supply OF bulbs from Holland

Some Austrian
Comments on the
War Declaration
tBy Associated Press.)

Amsterdam, Monday, Dec. TO-
Commenting on Americas declara-
ton Of war against Austria Hungary,
The Neues Wiener TagebIatt, Of
Vienna. says:
president Wilson's sudden idea
that war must be declared against
Austria Hungary on the ground that
she is Germany's vassal is the
craziest of his career as war inciter.
We are not frightened by his declar-
alton of war. That Mr.. Wilson should
think he knows us better than we
know ourselves makes us laugh"
The Fremdenblatt, OF Vienna, re-
fers to the fact that Americas war
declaration was almost simultaneous
with the armistice negotiations with
Russia, and says IL, is q natural pre-
sumption that President Wilson sees
in the turn in events in Russia the
danger of possible peace ana de-
sires by his move to prevent the old
world from finding repose and to
head off stoppage of garnering Of
the enormous advantages obtained
by America from the devastation of
European states by war.
The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-10-18

CHICAGO oct 15.-Accused in an
avalanche OF indictments obtained last
January by States Attorney Maclay
How're after q sensational investiga
ton OF alleged municipal corruption,
former Chief Of Police Charles c.
Healey went on trial in the criminal
court this week on charges OF brib
cry and conspiracy. The former chief
has been at liberty under bond since
his arrest
indicted with Chief Healey were
Tom Costello, said to have been the
power behind the chief" Mike de
Pike" Heitler, alleged political boss
William SHdmore, politician; Tom
Newbold, hotelkeeper; Stephen Bar
~. sergeant OF detectives, and William
Weinstein hotel owner
The arrest and the indictment of
the former chief followed weeks of in
vestigation and sensational charges by
the states attorney. 1t was imme-
diately preceded by q raid upon alleg
ed headquarters of the corruption
ring in which Chief Healey, Costello,
Skidmore Heitler and others, 1t was
asserted were caught ia the act of di-
viding money said to have been OBJ
tanned by extOrtion-
Healy. Costello, Shdmore and Heit-
Ter were designated by Hoyne as the
"big four" OF the alleged municipal
graft ring, with Healey as the chief
beneficiary of operations that are al
legged to have yielded thousands of dol
lars of illegal tribute.
Charges upon which the conspiracy
and bribery indictments are based in
clude collection of brides from
br0thels, thieves, gamblers and crooks
generally amounting to $1,000 week
collection Of brides from saloonkeep-
ers for return Of revoked licenses;
collection of brides from policemen
for promotion from the ranks and
from police lieutenants for promotion
to captaincies; collection Of fees from
property owners for reduction of taxes
and intimidation of police officers by
transfer to and from district for re-
moved.
tt is alleged that promotions in the
police department were made accord
ing to a regular scale Of prices, the
higher the rank Of the office desired
the higher the price fixed for its at
tainment. Through Heitler, Costello
and SkidmOre and their lieutenants, it
is alleged, tribute was levied upon
scores OF saloons, brothels and shady
hotels Establishments that came
through" it is alleged, were paid to
agents Of the big four"
Confessions of several policemen,
among them Captain William B.
O'Brien, who claimed inside knowl-
edge of the workings of the graft ring,
furnished much of the evidence upon
which the indictments against Healey
and his alleged aids are based.
Besides the men indicted. the names
of scores Of others, including officials
| high in the city administration, were
drawn into the case during Hoyne's
| investigation.
Since the indictment of Healey in
dictments also have been returned
against Francis A. Becker, former civil
service examiner, and Willis Melville,
former justice of the peace, charging
them with extortion of money under
promise to obtain restoration of re-
voked saloon licenses.
The investigation begun months be-
fore the Indictment Of Healey Is still
in progress and States Attorney
Hoyne promises further disclosures.

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 15-Instead OF
instituting a successful coup and
strengthening its position by giving
out news OF a mutihy in the German
navy, the imperial government at
Berlin found that it had only blund-
cred again. This was the explana-
ton placed today upon the efforts of
the German admiralty to "cover up"
and to make it appear that the revol-
utionary plot was exaggerated and
not nearly so far reaching as pic
tured last week
The political situation, revolving
around the question of peace terms,
has now resolved itself into absolute
chaos. The newspapers are divided
into factiOnal groups, each clamoring
for its pet theories as to how to win
the war or to bring about an early
peace.
The Kaiser is expected to return to
Berlin next Sunday, said a dispatch
from that city today. When he may
take a hand in trying to end the dis
organization which has been growing
