TTTE MORXIXG OKEG OXT AN. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1. 1915. REPRIEVE ASKED BY IS GRANTED Utah Governor Urges Swedish Minister to Investigate Murder Charge. CRIME HELD REVOLTING Prisoner Says larewell to I. W. " and Says He "Will Begin Organ izing Canal Workers on His Arrival at Mars. SALT LAKK, Sept. 3D. On request of President Wilson telegraphed from Washington, Governor Spry granted a reprieve until October 16 to Joseph Hillstrom, sentenced to be shot to morrow after having been convicted of murdering J. 3. Morrison, a grocer, and Morrison's young son here in January, 1914. In his answer to the President's message, Governor Spry says the re prieve is granted only " because the President requested it and he insists that the Swedish Minister come here nd make a personal investigation be fore October 16, as the Swedish vice consul here has gone thoroughly into the case and advised that he- can find no reason why the Board of Pardons should change its decision. The state con stitution prohibits a reprieve beyond October 16, the date of the next meet ing of the Board of Pardons. Resentence Is Necensmry. The Governor's action today makes it necessary to bring Hillstrom before the District Court, even should the Board refuse to commute his sentence after hearing from the Swedish Min ister, as he will have to be resentenced by the court. Hillstrom had finished some writing and was laughing with his death watch over a joke when advised, that the President had requested a reprieve. "That's nice," he said, "1m glad to hear it." Among the letters Hillstrom wrote was one addressed to Ben Williams, of Cleveland, containing his farewell to the I. W. W. organization, in which he said: "I have said time and again that I was going to get a new trial or die trying. I have stated my position plainly to everybody, and I won't hudge an inch, because I know I am right. Trtp to 3Iars" Scheduled. "Tomorrow 1 expect to take a trip to the planet Mars. If so I will imme ci iately commence to organize the Mars canal workers into the I. W. W., and we will sing the good old songs so loud that the learned stargazers will once and for all get positive proof that the planet Mars is really inhabited. Jn the meantime I hope you'll keep tho hall a-rolling here. You are on tho right track and you're bound to get there." He closed the letter with "a last fond farewell to all true rebels." A telegram from W. D. Haywood to Hillstrom today advised him to accept commutation if offered and promised efforts for his vindication. 'w Trial or BuKt," In Reply. "We'll not ask favors. New tiial or hnst." was Hill Strom's answer. Governor Spry's telegram to the President says the undisputed records ot 1 1 illstrom's case show he was con victed of a most revolting murder; that the evidence showed his guilt; that he had a fair trial and that his case has ben more .thoroughly investigated by the Board of Pardons than any similar case in the history of the state, without finding any reason whatever for clem ency. price, so the longer one waited the denser became the gaa. Battle Line la Faced. "The order was given and the men plunged through the smoke clouds only to meet a new barring fire a few hun dred yards beyond. This also they crossed and found themselves face to face with the battle line. Our troops were still retiring, pursued by the Ger man phalanxes, shouting victoriously. "Then, before the Germans knew what had happened, our reserves were upon them. They tried for a moment to re sist. They tried to hold the ground, defending every ditch and stump, but soon their line wavered and here and there units fled. Then all began to re tire. "During this bloody battle our artil lery was not inactive, but sent a bar ring fire behind the German trenches to prevent the arrival of their reserves, and succeeded admirably. After 24 hours of fearful fighting the Germans fell back to their trenches, only main taining here and there a gain of from 100 to J00 yards. Their formidable losses will certainly keep them calm for some time to come. German Prisoners Passing Dispatches from Lens announce that six trains of 40 cars each, loaded with German prisoners, have passed there. Prisoners who passed the same town after the battle of the Alarne baa torn and dirty uniforms, whereas these pris oners seem to have been freshly equipped. Such prisoners as would talk said that they were, literally stunned by the Ifrench bombardment. For four days projectiles never ceased to rain on them. They had been ordered to stay in their places and they did stay, but it was a hecatomb. Those not killed were half senseless when the as sailants arrived, and it was necessary only to herd these nerve-shattered men together. Even those who wished to flee were unable to do so, as the lengthening fire of the French artillery formed a screen through which it was impossible to pass. German Says Confidence Is Lost. One prisoner was asked if he still believed that Germany would be vic torious, and he replied: "No. We well knew that we could not pierce your front, but we believed that we also were invulnerable. We had absolute confidence in our ma chine guns. Now we see that it all is of no use." The correspondent has just visited the railway stations and hospitals where the wounded from the Artois and Champagne battlefields are con tinuing to arrive. Crowds line the streets for blocks below La Chappelle station watching and occasionally cheering the ambulances passing to and fro without ceasing. The station is closely guarded, but sometimes it is possible to snatch a word with the wounded. "When the Germans saw us jumping for them," said a wounded infantry man, leaning from the window of a hos pital car, "they tried to make a stand. Their Mausers and mitrailleuses worked hard, but we went ahead just the same to their trenches, which had been leveled. The Germans crouched down and then suddenly rose and fled like rabbits toward the second line of de fenses. We were after them, treading on their heels and sticking our bayo nets into their backs. They threw off coats, belts and bandoliers as they ran." CATTLE SHIPMENTS BLOCKED BY WOMAN Quarantine Injunction Results in Closing Eastern Mar kets to Chicago.

Uoth Side Announce Sucrens In Krsrion South of Dvlnnk Teutons Said to Have Fallen Back. LONDON. Sept. " 30. Indication that the Germans in Northwest Russia have been hurled back 23 miles has been received by the Petrograd war office, according: to a dispatch received here, which says this success was achieved in the district midway between Dvinsk and Vllna. On the other hand the German war office declares that the -Russians have been forced back. Into the marsh and lake region "south of Dvinsk." Vilna is south and west of Dvinsk. Whether -the two reports conflict or re fer to separate districts, or the same district in which the success of one of talie sides was followed by a reverse, has not been determined. The Petrograd dispatch says further that the Germans have been forced back eight miles west and south of Molodecho. The Berlin communication reports successes at several other places in Russia. General von Hindenburg- is concen trating vast numbers of troops from the Pripet region in the theater of the northern campaign, apparently in prep aration for another smashing blow in an attempt utterly to crush the Rus sians, force his way southeast and cut off the retreat of the Czar's forces further south. The official German report says: "South of Dvinsk we forced the enemy back into the marshes and lakes to the east of Wessulowo. Our cavalry engagements in the region of Postawy were successful. "East of Smorgon we broke through the enemy position by storm. One thousand prisoners, including seven of ficers, were taken and six cannon and four machine guns were captured. South of Smorgon the battle continues. "Army of Prince Leopold Enemy at tacks against many sections of the front were repulsed with sanguinary losses.

About S00 prisoners were taken. Two Russian aeroplanes were shot down." CHICAGO, Sept. 30. (Special.) The injunction suit of Mrs. Scott Durand. society dairy woman, restraining the Illinois Livestock Commissioners from slaughtering her herd of fancy cattle on her Lake Bluff farm, was blamed by Chicago livestock men today for an almost complete tie-up of Eastern shipments on the hoof. The tie-up resulted from an order issued by T. J. Marshall, state veteri narian of Pennsylvania, forbidding the shipment of cattle, sheep or swine, originating in Illinois or unloaded in Illinois in shipment, to or through any part of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is so situated that the order operates to tie up all shipments - on the hoof to any of the Eastern slaughtering markets. Kastern Outlet Is Sealed. The Jersey City outlet was hermet ically sealed by the Pennsylvania or der. This closed the Eastern outiet and reduced the Chicago market to a local packer affair. Until Illinois is able to slaughter and bury all the dis eased cattle within its limits. Eastern states will not change their attitude, it is said. Present conditions are so serious as to menace the existence of the Chicago livestock market. The action of Pennsylvania limits the Chi cago shipping outlet to Detroit and a few West Virginia points. By isolat ing Chicago, Eastern sanitary officials expect to bring the issue to a crisis. Mrs. Durand declared tonight that her suit was being made the excuse for a ruse on the part of Chicago packers to force the Eastern market to have its meat dressed in Chicago instead of buying it on the hoof. She has been treating her herd by Christian Science and declares her cattle are now free from the disease. Woman Accuhcs PnckfrM. "If you read between the lines," she said, "I think that you will see that the State Veterinarian of Pennsylva nia and the packers are really goud friends. It is the livestock men, the commission men and the Union Stock yards that the shoe pinches." federal Inspectors found traces or the hoof and mouth - disease in Mrs. Durand's herd on August 17. The herd of 60 head was valued at $50,000. Un der the statute the maximum indem nity that may be paid is an average of $250 for the herd. The board of appraisal fixed the amount at $211 each. Mrs. Durand took her case into the courts after appeals to spare the herd had been made to Governor Dunne and President Wilson by the Waukegan Commercial Club. On September 19, attorneys for the state and Mrs. Durand reed to have Circuit Court Judge Donnelly enter an injunction order pending an appeal to the State Supreme Court In the meantime cattle ship ments from Illinois have been refused by Pennsylvania. Connecticut, Ohio. West Virginia, Indlania, Missouri, Iowa and Wyoming:. Shipments through Canada have also been forbidden. "There is no hoof and mouth disease on our farm," Mrs. Durand said to night. "It Is 44 days since it was dis covered and there is not now a lesion or any trace of the disease.

The wind blew toward us and an insupportable iieiit wave passed over our rtrst line. Thin suddenly through the smoke poured tho German infantry. Our ma chine suns mowed down "their ranks and an uninterrupted rifle fire shook the woods. The Germans fell over each other, but. as the foremost men disappeared, more came to take their places.

"It was almost impossible to distin guish friend from foe. Our soldiers fell slowly back, disputing every foot of the ground against overwhelming numoers. "Meanwhile the reserves began to advance as the German artillery ceased to fire, but soon the Germans again began with a barring fire of asphyx iating shells. In front of the advanc ing men there burst quantities of shells, which hurled few splinters but left a heavy, blue smoke. The men soon understood the nature of this smoke and put on their masks and froggles. Nevertheless the gas made many eyes smart and water.
