VERDICT ACQUITTING BANKRUP CLOTHIERS SHOCKS GOVERNMENT Federal Attorney, , While Ad mitting Surprise, Refuses to Discuss Probable Action CASE WAS PECULIAR ONE Law Doss Hot Prohibit Official of Cor porstloa Concealing Its Assets Ttom Trust. Though the petition In bankruptcy flld in federal court July S, 191$. bowed that Robinson & Co. possessed assets of only 182.60 and though., tes timony was produced at the trial of W. W. Hoblnson and E. K. Oppen helmer, president and secretary of the company, lor the purpose of showing that Mrs. Robinson had purchased Canadian exchange worth 117,433 the day before the petition was filed, Rob inson and Oppenhelmer yesterday were found not guilty of a charge of con spiring to conceal the assets of a bank rupt. This verdict came as a decided shock to United States Attorney C. L. Reames, who prosecuted the case for the government. Though he refused to discuss the verdict today, Mr. Reames admitted that everyone concerned, even the defendants, were surprised. Case Was Peculiar. Robinson was brought back from Belllngharn, Wash., soon after the fil lng of the bankruptcy proceedings, on a state warrant sworn out before the government took a hand in the case. One of the peculiarities of the case involved the point of law that it is not a crime for an official of a bankrupt corporation to conceal assets of the corporation from the trustee in bank ruptcy; but It is a crime for the bank rupt himself to conceal assets. Inas much as Robinson and Oppenheimer were not bankrupts as individuals, so far as the proceedings were concerned, it remained for the government to show that the alleged concealment of the asseta was accomplished through some procedure that was criminal un der the law. Accordingly, evidence was procured to show that on May 23. 1913. Robinson and Oppenhelmer. as directors of the company, called a meetlnc- of directors without notifying nvniin hut themselves, and that at this meeting they voted Robinson a salary of $1100 per month to cover 1 month prior to that date. The record of this transaction showed credit on the company's books for $17,600, which the government contended Robinson had not earned. Attorney Calls on Btunti. tn holding this directors" meeting, the government contended that Robin Fon and Oppenhelmer had committed the crime of conspiracy to conceal the assets. Testimony was introduced to show that the defendants had paid $1000 in attorney's fees to Fulton & Bowerman. and that this sum had come out of the dally cash withdrawals Included in the sum alleged to have been concealed. ' Robinson himself testified that he had $25.00 In bis possession. ,C. TV. Fulton, one of the attorneys . for the firm members, called upon Mr. Reames this morning for a conference. Neither . would discuss the object of the consultation. Mr. Reames this morning began a study of the proceed ings. Including the bankruptcy case proper and the criminal action that fol lowed It. He would not say what the object of this after study was. During the trial the prosecution laid stress on the contradiction between the bankrupt's statement of $62.50 as sets and the testimony showing the exchange of $17,433 from American $5. $10 and $20 bills into Canadian money at Seattle, which was deposited In a safety deposit box beyond tho reach of attachment. This exchange was purchased, according to testi mony, at the Dexter-Hortonf National rank at Seattle the day before the bankruptcy petition was filed. Mrs. Robinson conducting the transaction.

The president, praising knowledge. said It was uniting the world and quoted an anecdote of Charles Lamb to show that It was impossible to hate anyone one really knows. 'There are races whom we despise said President Wilson, and it gen erally turns out that we despise them because we do not know them. We have not found . the same common footing of humanity with which to touch and deal with them. "Theobject of scholarship, the ob ject of all knowledge. Is to under stand, is to comprehend, Is to know what the need of mankind is. That is the reason why scholarship us ually has been more fruitful when associated with religion; and scholar ship has never, so far as I can at this moment recollect, been associated with any religion except the religion of Jesus Christ. "The religion of humanity and the comprehension of humanity are of the same breed and kind and they go to gether. It is yery proper, therefore, that under Christian auspices a great adventure of the mind, a great enter prise of the spirit, should be entered upon. "So we are here setting upon this lii 11. as upon a high pedestal, once more the compass of human life with its great needle pointing steadily at the lodestar of the human spirit. Let every man who wishes to know come and look upon this compass and thereafter determine which way he will go." Addresses were delivered by Secre tary Bryan and Secretary Daniels, Bishop Earle CraiiBton, resident Meth odist bishop of Washington, presid ing.- The invocation was offered by Bishop Harding, Protestant Episcopal bishop of Washington, and the bene diction was said by Bishop Alphaeus W. Wilson, the senior bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church South. Bishop John W. Hamilton of Bos ton, who gave the first dollar to ward the university, was present, as was Bishop William T. McDowell of Boston. Scores of other churchmen aided in the formal opening of the doors of the university. It is situated on a site of 100 acres and when completed, it is estimated, will have cost $10,000,000. Only two of the buildings of the i university have been completed, but I it is stated that within a few years all of the 20 structures designed in the plans for the Institution will be finished.

McNulty Faction Prevails Here By denying an injunction sought by L. T.

The local union for some years past has been affiliated with the Reed fac tion and has paid its national dues to; it. Recently it secured recognition from the McNulty organization and transferred payment of dues to it. "The only non-combatant killed at Ludlow by a bullet was a small ooy, he said. "And the bullet that killed him came from a squad of strikers. The militiamen took up a collection for the child's father. "The strikers, however, were guilty of many atrocities.
