alleged Fraud Against
Government Leads to
Arrest 7wo Chicago Men

Chicago, March 2.-Henry II. Lip
pert, manufacturer agent, and his
son Ralph, were to be arraigncd
today before United States Commis-
sioner Lewis +. Mason, on charges
which allege conspiracy against
the government in the furnishing
of army supplies in connection with
Brig. Gen. Thomas Cruise, u. S.
A., retired, who is now in Washing
ton.
The Lipperts were arrested last
night after a raid on their offices
under a federal seach and seizure
warrant asked for by Captain Mel
vim b. Ericsson of the United States
army intelligence bureau. la his
statement before Commissioner Ma
son asking for the warrant, it was
charged by Captain Ericsson that
General Cruise had admitted to him
in Washington that in January he
had received 81 500 from the elder
Lippert, and that an agreement had
been entered into by which Lippert
was to pay him $500 a month.
No estimate was given of the
amount involved in the charges that
the government has been defrauded.
The contracts handled by the Lip

TUBBY JURY HAS
REACHED NO DECISION

At l;30 this afternoon the jury

Tubby, charged with the murder of
Matt Hooper, had not returned a
verdict 1t has now been out over
seventy-four hours, having received
the case Wednesday at HIS a. m.
The jury came into court this
forenoon and told the Judge they
were hopleessly deadlocked. Judge
Freeman told them he did not want
to coerce them or dictate to them,
but that other juries had met with
these same obstacles and by pa
tience they had reached verdict.
He told them to go back to their
room and consider their verdict
further. He made no intimation as
to when he would discharge them.

WASHINGTON is WATCHING.
Britain and France Want to Turn
lapan Loose.

Washington, March 2.-Although
indications today are that the Amer
ican state department is being stead
lily influenced to accept the allied
view that Japan alone can best deal
with the menace of German aggres-
sion in Siberia, high officials in
timated that any prediction of the
decision of the American govern
ment would be unsafe. Conditions
were changing so rapidly, they said,
and so many factors were contin-
ually entering the problem, that the
United States would be faced by
new issues almost daily.
From the frequent exchanges be-
tween the entente governments and
Washington, it is understood, Great
Britain and France, and possibly
Italy believe an efficient army and
navy within reach of Siberia and
not otherwise engaged and acting
in conformity with a general agree
ment might be better able to deal
with the situation than an interna-
tional force.

SAYS AMERICANS
IN BERLIN JOYFUL
ENJOY GREAT FREEDOM,
DUTCHMAN REPORTS
TO AMSTERDAM.

Amsterdam, March 2.-The Met
we Rotterdamsche Courant prints a
long interview with a "personage
who returned recently from a
weeks visit to Berlin where he
talked with a number of prominent
persons including Baron Won Dem
Bussche-H -Haddenhausen, under sec
retary for foreign affairs; Doctor
Drews, PruSsian minister of the in
terror; Doctor Solf, minister for
colonies, and Lieutenant General
Won Stein, Prussian minister Of
war.
The consensus of opinion, the Wis
itor gathered, was that the greatest
difficulty in arriving at peace nego-
tiations is that Germany dare not
or will not rclinquish any military
advantage unless certain that peace
negotiations have a change of sue
cess. He adds
They agreed perfectly, for in
stance, with my objections against
bombing London, admitted that for
the sake of peace it were better
they stopped. Yet, they said, the
raids must continue for military
reasons"
Among other things, the visitor,
apparently a Dutchman, said:
Il had occasion to meet several
members of the American colony.
To my surprise, the Americans in
Berlin enjoy the greatest freedom.
They are quite satisfied with their
treatment and apparently are pos
sessed of sufficient means to live in
the comfortable Sl - to which they
have been accustomed. No obiec-
tion swere raised against the speak
ing of English by them in hotels
and restaurants, neither do the
walters object to speaking English
with their American customers

turer, under sentence to serve two
years in prison and pay a fine of
$4,000 on charges of conspiring to

manager for Jelke, must serve a
year in the federal prison and pay
a $4,000 fine. The six others must

London, March 2.--German
forces are moving on the town
of Bologoie, o nthe Moscow-Pe-
trograd railway, which place is
the chief freight center for the
feeding of Pctrograd, says a dis
patch under date of Friday, re-
ceived by the Exchange Tele-
graph Company. The Germans
probably intend, the message
adds thus to cut off supplies
from Petrograd and to compel
the capital to capitulate by fam
inc.
Large columns of German
troops, the correspondent says,
are marching toward Noyosoko-

DISTEMPER AMONG
HORSES SPREADS
BRIEF STATEMENT AS TO
METHODS OF TREAT
MENT ISSUED.

Columbia, Mo, March 2.-The
attention of the college of agricul-
ture of the University OF Missouri
has been called to the fact that dis
temper is prevalent among horses
throughout the country. Prof. +.
A. Trowbridge, of the department
of animal husbandry, has prepared
the following statement on the dis
ease:
Zone OF the greatest cases of loss
among horses in the United States
is the disease known as influenza
or distemper. This disease seems
to occur in a variety of forms and
with varying severity. Practically no
class of horses is immune Its most
serious inroads are noticed among
horses that are being shipped from
one point to another, and ire
quently through large market cen
ters and among young horses on
farms.
Y acclnatiOn and other treat
ments have been given, but there
seems to be some cases that refuse
to yield to treatment. Army Off
cials tell us that in their experience
vaccination, except against "stran-
giles is of little avail.
Data has recently been sccured
by the quartermaster department Of
the army which is interesting. The
number of horses owned by the
army has been increased since the
outbreak of the war from 90, IA to
more than $4,000.
"A careful record has been kept
of the number of deaths among
horses owned by the army for six
weeks, beginning Dec. s. Up to
that time the ordinary precautions
had been taken to prevent the De
yelopment of influenza, but from
that date active effort was made to
see that all cars, stock yards, sta
bles and other quarters in which
horses were confined, were properly
disinfected. During that six weeks
period the losses dropped from 81
100 per cent to 2l-lOO per cent
weekly.

REGULAR TROOPS.
TWO KILLED AND OTHERS
WOUNDED IN CLASH AT
TWO POINTS.
PROPERTY IS DESTROYED
Government Is Expected to Take
Rough Action, AS Men Have
Been Declared in Contempt Of
the Law.

Buenos Aires, Friday, March l.
Two persons were killed and sew
eral others wounded during fighting
today between troops and strikers
at two points on the Pacific rail
way.
The strike was declared a few
days ago without warning shortly
after another strike which affected
the line had been brought to an end
by President Irigoyen.
Destruction of property has been
in progress ever since the men quit
work.
Operation of the international
tr.ls between Argentina and Chile
has been rendered impossible by
the strike, and the overland wires
which carry forward the cable lines
from the United States by way of
Valparaiso, Chile, have been cut.
The government is expected to
take drastic action, as the strikers
are held in contempt Of the presi-
dents recent decree ordering the
men to continue working until the
government had arbitrated their dif-
ferences with the railway.

JAPANESE ARE RESTLESS
Statement Given Out in London by
Mikado's Officials Show That
German Advance Is Menace to
Security of East.

London, Friday, March 2.-Reu-
ter's Limited, has procured the fol-
lowing statement from an important
japanese quarter in London:
Japan has put forward no sug-
gestions regarding any action that
may be necessary as result OF the
Russian situation. The plain facts
are that few days ago Japan ad-
dressed inquiries to the allied gov
ernments asking for an expression
of their views on the latest develop
ments in Russia. There has been
no proposal, military or otherwise,
by Japan.
1T is pointed out that Japan did
not enter the war under any terms
or agreements with the allies which
would suggest that there had been
any question OF aggrandizement in
the mind of Japan. There was no
such thought when Japan embark
ed on hostilities, and if she has to
extend operations, her object will
not be aggrandizement.
The new menace is one directly
threatening the Far East and imme-
diately involving Japan's security.
Japan's Interpretation of her posi-
tion is that she is responsible for
the maintenance of peace and Sc
curity in the Far East. A German
menace already exists in east 81
IBERIA and was well known to the
allies, even before the latest Ger
man advance into Russia

WOULD CJ'|NGE
WATER<1WER BILL
CABINE' : MEMBERS SEND
LF ser TO HOUSE
COMMITTEE.

W., .ngton, March 2.-Changes
in the pending administration water
power bill to more clearly express
the intent OF the appropriation were
recommended today to Chairman
Sims OF the house special water
power committee by Secretaries Ba-
ker, Lane and Houston, who drew
up the measure. They urged speedy
passage OF the bill 50 as to stabilize
the power industry generally, and
encourage the building Of exten-
sions to existing projects.
Water power legislation" said
the letter from the secretaries,
should have in view not only the
maintenance of the rights OF the
public in the national resources but
also the adequate protection OF pri-
yate capital by which such resour-
ces are developed.
at is particularly important that
the conditions which affect the dis
position of the property at the ter
mination of the license should be
definite that uncertainties will be
reduced to a minimum. If the prop
critics are not taken over, the con-
ditions under which a new license
may be secured should be entirely
clear. If the properties are taken
over the price to be paid should
not include alleged values not rep
resented by investment, or on the
other hand, require needless amor
tization of capital during the period
Of the license in order to protect
the investment"

Four cases OF felony were report
ed to the sheriff and chief Of police
this morning, all Of which occurred
in Carter County last night.
Mrs. Otis Weaver was brought
to the county attorneys Office this
forenoon, charged with killing her
husband at their home, four miles
northeast of Berwyn, yesterday aft
ernoon by shooting him through
the head with a .3S caliber pistol.
The bullet entered Weaver's fore
head over the left eye and came out
at the back of his head. Death was
instantaneous. After the shooting
the woman ran to the home of a
ncighbor, about half a mile away,
and told the people there that she
had shot at her husband. Fred
Dodson, marshal Of Berwyn, and A.
w. Gaines, special deputy sheriff,
went to the Weaver home and
found the body of Otis Weaver.
They then arrested the woman and
brought her to Berwyn, keeping her
there over night and bringing her
to Ardmore today.
Mrs. Weaver is about % years
old and her husband was 80. They
had three children, two of them
were at school when the shooting
occurred. Weaver and his wife have
been separated and he had been
staying with his brother and moth
er on another farm not far from
his home. He went to his home
yesterday afternoon and demanded
entrance. They had trouble before,
and it is said he had beaten his wife
and she refused to let him come in.
She claims he then attempted to
break in the door and that she fired
one shot.
A young woman, y years of age,
said to be we'll connected and whose
relatives live in this country, came
here yesterday from Healdton, and
desiring TO go to Mulkey, to the
home of her sister, engaged serv-
ice car to take her there, for which
service she agreed to pay SIS and
gave the money to one of the car
drivers, who were Pat Doyle and
Candy Renfro. Shortly after
leaving the city, it is alleged, these
men made improper proposals to
her and on being repulsed they told
her they could not afford to go to
Mulkey for so small a sum as S.,
returned her money and brought
her back to town. 1t is asserted
that she employed another car
driver, Lon Miller, to take her to
Mulkey and started with him. At
point near the Hignight school
house, it is alleged, he drove the car
to the side of the road, repeated the
proposals made by the other men
and attacked her. She fought him,
biting his cheek and scratching his
face. He became frightened and
turning the Car around, brought her
back to Ardmore. She was placed
in the care of Mrs. Buck Garrett,

Americans Whip Enemy.
American soldiers on the firing
line in France have met the famous
German Shock troops for the first
time, and have outfought them. In
two sectors northwest OF Toul and
along the Chemin des Dames-the
Germans failed in attempts to pene-
trate the positions held by the
Americans.
The fight northwest of Toul re-
suited in a desperate hand-to-hand
struggle, The Germans reached
the American line only to be driven
back with heavy losses. German
dead were found in the American
trenches and many enemy bodies
were scattered over No Mans
Land. An American captain, a
West Point graduate of 1917, was
killed in a gallant exploit. When
the Germans reached the American
position, he led a party out in front
of the wire entanglements and at
tackled the enemy from the rear as
he retreated.
No decision has yet been reached
as to Japanese intervention in 81
IBERIA. Negotiations between the al.
lied governments are proceeding.
According to a London report, ia.
pan has been requested to do al
that is necessary to guard allied in.
terests in the far east. This ha:
not been confirmed officially.
