Serbia is making a desperate H, attempt to stem tho large German and K Austrian troops which are being aug- mented continually. Serbian officers profess confidence that It will be pos sible to make successful resistance, even with inferior numbers, on ac count of the difficulties which the mountainous country presents to the invader. Serbs Await Bulgarian Attack. The Serbians are awaiting a Bul garian attack between Gulevguell and Strumltza, near the Greek border. They expected an attempt to cut, at this point, the railroad between Sa lonlkl and Nish, and In anticipation of such a movement have concentrat ed artillery In this district. The Nlsh-Saloniki lino has been cut for a distance of five miles at a point believed to be about 50 miles south of Nish, according to an Athens dispatch This trunk lino is the one that would bo used by allied forces moving from Salonlkl to Serbia's as sistance in resisting the Teutonic-Bulgarian attacks. Serbian Resistance "Severe." Serbian resistance to the Teutonic advance south of the Danube Is de scribed In the current Austrian war office statement as "most severe." The Austrian attacks, however, are reported everywhere progressing. Serbia took the initiative at one point on the Bulgarian frontier on Tuesday, according to a Sofia dis patch to London, and crossed the bor der but were defeated after an all day battle In their attempt to occupy the heights west of Belogradchlk, Bul garia.

Conspiracy EndsbT 1 a Complete Failure I ' ' II 1 ill Hagbart Andersen, Bail Commissioner, Thomas Lever, Custodian of the Police Commissary, and 1 1 W. H. Reeder, Jr., Municipal Judge, Made Signed Statements Which Present Irrefutable Proof II That the Examiner Has Been a Party to a Foul Plot-j-Evidence Accumulates Which Points 11 to George B. Wardlaw and an Examiner Employee, at the Instigation of the Exam- 1 ner People, Having Laid Plans to Do Away With Police Records When They Called II on Thomas Lever-Plans Miscarry and Records Are Intact, Including the i 1 1 Slips of Arrest , ;' 1 1 Bill iM M 9 On last Monday morning:, the Examiner, in large "headlines de-l claredthat the police records for 1911, the last year of the Glasmann administration, had been burned by Thomas Lever, one of the police forco now in the employ of the city, and that, the burning of the BOOKS and records had been ordered done by "the higher ups." The Standard, as soon as the article appeared, started an investiga tion. Fearing that a conspiracy existed -which had for its object the discrediting of the former administration and that the records had been really burned, the first move made was to inquire whether the municipal court records had been burned b' the conspirators in an effort to maRc their accusations bear the semblance of truth. Had any of "the higher ups" of the former city government felt disposed lo conceal the official acts of the police department, in order to ac complish their purpose they would have found it necessary to do away with the police court record of fines, forfeitures. etc., and the present conspirators, in an attempt to fix on "the higiier ups" that disgraceful odium would seek to do that very thing and then point the finger of scorn at the men they had conspired to destroy. Fortu nately, it was early shown that the plotters did not go to that extent. Then attention was given to the records in the keeping of the police department. A cursory examination convinced the Standard people that no books of any description were destroyed, burned or in any manner mutilated. Tn the meantime, the Examiner, to save itself from libel, "had qualified its first statement, by saying, that no books had been burned but the police slips of arrest for 1911 had been burned. Then Hagbart Andersen, the bail commissioner, and Thomas Lever, the custodian of those slips, were called on and both gentlemen stated the slips were intact and had not been burned. The Standard herewith presents the signed statements of Ilag--bnrfc Andersen, Thomas Lever and Judge AY n. "Reeder, Jr., which prove conclusively that the Examiner people falsified and built a story of defamation and slander out of the machinations of their own treacherous souls, aided by George B. "Wardlaw of the police depart ment, and The Standard, after a thorough sifting of all the facts, has reached the conclusion that "Wardlaw and an Examiner man, at the instigation of the Examiner, were at the bottom of the conspiracy and that those two men had planned to burn the slips of arrest for the 3'ear 1911, but weakened at the last moment and, trusting to1 brazen effrontery, gave publicity to their story as it appeared on last I Monday morning. The signed statements from the police department follow: Thomas Lever's Statement. : Question Mr. Lever. Did you see the Interview the Examiner alleges you gave them about burning the books and records of the police de partment? Answer "Yes, I saw that." Question Did you make the state ment they claim you made to them? Answer "I did not." Question State, Mr. Lever, in your own way, what took place and how tho Examiner man came to talk with you. Answer "Last Friday, Mr. Geo. B. Wardlaw and a young man about 2G years old. smooth face, tall and slim, came to the police station and want ed to see the 1911 slips or memoran dums of arrest. They followed me upstairs to the commissary where tho old records are kept and I took slips down and laid them on the floor be tween Wardlaw and the stranger and I dusted them. I started to leave when Wardlaw and tho stranger said, 'There are some missing. Did you burn any?' I said "I may have done. I burned a lot of rubbish.' Then Wardlaw said, 'You burned them un der a former administration, didn't you?' and I answered and said 'Yes, I burned lots of rubbish at different times.' " Question Did you ever say that you burned any books or records, re quired by law or order of the chief to bo kept9 Anctvnr "n cii- T nnmr hiirnod any police book or any record, or any slips that I thought was of any value, and I never was instructed to burn any, and I never said so. I told Wardlaw and the stranger that often the commissary would pllo up with useless rubbish and I burned a lot of trap and I asked tho chief to let me burn it Wardlaw said, 'Why did you burn it?' and I replied that I never did anything without per mission," Question Did you know they were Interviewing you for publication in a newspaper? Answer "No. I did not know IL I was surprised to see the alleged In terview Monday morning in the Ex aminer. I felt outraged and It was a darned shame." Question When did Wardlaw say there were some slips missing? Answor "Almost immediately af ter I had thrown them on tho floor." Question Wero Wardlaw and the stranger alone with the slips at any time? Answer "Oh, yes, I left them alono within five minutes after I went up Btairs, and later on I went back and found the slips on tho floor and I put them back on the shelf again." Question Did tho same strange man that first came with Wardlaw over call again and go through the slips when he was alone with them? Answqr "Yes. ho called again and T brought the slips down stairs and laid them on the desk in the detec tives' room where I left them with him." (Signed) THOMAS LEVER." Mr. Lever read all of the foregoing after it was typewritten and then attached his signature. A Leading Question. George B. Wardlaw did most of the talking when ho accompanied the Ex aminer man to tho police station to seo Lover. Wardlaw was the one to suggest to Lover that tho slips ot arrest had been burned and he put tho word "burned" into the mouth of Levor. When tho slips were takcu down from their dust-covered corner, they wero bound together with rub ber bands and, before they had been examined, Wardlaw, In a browbeating way, said: "Some of these slips are missing. Did you burn any?" The question was leading and invited a desired response There was no slip missing but Wardlaw sought to in timidate the custodian by charging that there was, and ho succeeded to the extent of drawing from Tommy Lover an explanation that, if any slips wero gono, he might have burned them with other rubbish which he had cleaned up. Fortunately, none of the slips is unaccounted for, as Hagbart Andersen made an investi gation and found all the slips. Did Wardlaw go to the station for tho pur. pose of burning the slips? That thought seems to havo boon upper most in his mind and his whole con duct In this particular is open to sus picion. HAGBART ANDERSEN'S STATE MENT. A Standard reporter called on Mr, Hagbart Andorsen, who was desk ser geant and bail commissioner in 1911 and said: Question Mr. Anderson, tho Ogden Ea.aniinor has charged that certain police records were burned. Do you know of any records that havo been burned? Answer "No Sir." Question Mr, Anderson: You were tho custodian of the records when Mr. Glasmann retired from the office of mayor the last time. Of your own knowledge, do you know that all tho records of tho police department at that time were Intact and that you find hem now intact? Answer "Yes, sir." Question Have you, Mr. Anderson, at the request of the Ogden Standard, mado a personal investigation, looking- for the police records for the last half of 1911? Answor "Yes sir." Question Are any of the slips or books, which were official records during the last half of 1911, missing? Answer "No sir." Mr. Anderson then volunteered this statement, which ho signed - "After reading so much in the news papers about the burning of the police records, for my own Information, I looked up the records, slips and books to see if any records were losL I went upstairs into Mr. Lever's com missary and found the old records and slips, especially those of 1911 and 1912, stored away for future refer ence. Instructions have been, and are at the present time, to keep and take care of records. In February. 1911, gambling was made a felony by the legislature The fines were raised to one thousand dollars a month so gam bling houses were practically done away with during the early part of that year.
