J ROTTEN EGOS, TIED TO LINE, HIT BY OPEN WINDSHIELD , OF CAR AND CLOTHES RUINED Six youths of Huntsville. who are alleged to have been in the habit of playing mean and annoying pranks on automobllists who go to the valley, are be-ins soucht this afternoon by Deputy Sheriffs Charles Pincock and Charles Wootton, The youths who have been complained on are Wilford, George and Owen Froerer, Elmer Bernett. Charles and Harold Parkenson. C. S. Stout, 2635 Lafayette avenue, an Ogden barber, went to Sheriu Peterson's office Sunday after re turning from a pleasure iide into Og den Valley and exhibited hi suit and his wife's suit, both of them brand new, and his automobile, all of which had received an obnoxious spattering of rotten eggs alleged to have been delivered by these boys. Mr. Stout said the boys had placed a line across the road and had tied eggs to it, hung IGOT LONESOME, THEN TOOK J DRINK TO CHEER OP Frank Baker, who was arrested this morning at the Union station and charged with being intoxicated, was given a suspended sentence of 30 days by the municipal court. Baker said that he was not drunk, as claimed bj the officer, though he admitted that he had taken a few drinks of liquor while on the train on route from Reno, Nevada, to Ogden. He said he w.-i - poing to Salt Lake to work and that he got lonesome on the train and bought some liquor at one of the stations in Nevada, lie did not know the name of the station where he bought the liquor, but thought it was Battle Mountain. "Anyway. I was lonesome," he said, "and I just thought I would take a drink to help pas thp timo I was in Reno for about eleven J months and I did not drink there at all, but judge, I just got lonesome on this trip and took a drink or two." Assistant City Attorney David L. Stine said to the court: "It is just such cases as these, per- Uilt WUU I.ULLM" 1IULI1 UUID1UC SU11CS that are the hardest to deal with. Whjle we intend to enforce the law, we also desire to be just with the man who is hailed before the court. While the officer who arrested this man says he had the appearance of, being under the influence of liquor, the man himself claims that he was! not that far gone. And perhaps if he I was riding all night in a chair car bis ' appearance might not be as fresh as1 one who gets out of bed and takes a good wash before breakfast. I believe' the defendant is entitled to the bene fit of the court, and that it is the dut of the court to administer justice. I j do not believe the ends of justice would be served in this case by im posing a fine which the man might not 1 be able to pay." Judge Barker imposed the 30-day suspended sentence and warned the J man that If he is caught in this city again with liquor in his possession or under its influence, he will have to 6erve time in jail. This case followed one in the po lice court in which the court an nounced a new policy in dealing with railroad passengers who are arrested ' while passing through the city. nn FIGHTING SPIRIT Of, BPM SCOTCH IS DISCLOSED With both legs off and his hopes shattered of enjoying life like a nor mal man, W. S. McLeod. the first wounded American soldier to be in valided home for treatment, one of the heroic "grande malads" of the war, still ib consumed with a desire to get back to the front and continue his fighl against the Hun, according to a letter received today from him by Ser geant George S. McLeod of the local recruiting station. The McLeods might be related and they might not that isn't the point. They are bolh of the same fighting clan of Scotchmen, wear the same tar tan and in days past probably wielded their claymores in the same border fights and forays but the thing is, as Sergeant McLeod in Ogden says, it shows the spirit which has dominated the kilties in the great war and which has caused the Hun to call them "the women of Hell." W. b. MCL-eod, wiui Dotn lgs pone, but a great spirit left, wrote SerKt. McLeod in Ogden in answer to a let ter sent him by the local man at the Walter Reed hospital in Washington, D. C, where he is recuperating. .He was wounded so severely in the legs that both had to be amputated near the hips. Ho also received wounds in the back and the cheat. Yet with this m mento ( the Hun to carry tnrough life, he says, "Yes Mack, rather than n main in this country in a slacker's uniform, I would have lost both legs, both arms and both eyrs." Now SergL McLeod recruits men for the United States army and he says he believes that short sentonce to be the best recruiting lalk he ever heard. "Walter Reed Hospital. Washington. D. C, April 18, 1918. ' Dear Sergt. McLeod: In my travels around this country I have never met many McLeods and it is a pleasure to hear from one of my own name. "You never meet a Scotchman who isn't proud of his own nationality but after seeing those fighting women from hell in Iheir kilts I'm swelled all over. A rather unusual incident oc curred while 1 wag in the hospital. Ai Scotch Highlander was brought in from strings, so that the automobll ists could not avoid striking them as they rode along the road. His wind shield was open, he said, and the eggs had broken on the framework and the glass and on the persons of himself and wife and other occupants of the car, and literally rulned their clothes. Other tricks the boys are alleged to have perpetrated included fixing card board with large nails and burying the card board under the sand of the road so that the nails protruded and caught automobile tires. Numerous complaints have been made to the sheriff on this latter score. Sheriff Peterson said if the boys are caught they probably will be turned over to the juvenile court with the recommendation that they be fined enough to make them realize the grav ity of what they callqd fun. with both legs off, and his name was McLeod also. "Yea I got mine early in the game lost them both one three inches be low the hip, the other six. Our colonel when visiting me used to say that they couldn't kill a Scotchman. I was struck in the chest in two places, also two in the back. "Yes Mack, rather than remain in Ibis country in a slacker's uniform I would much rather have lost both legs, both arms and both eyes. I have re- r quested to be sent back when I am fitted up but as there are many able bodied men there is no chance my idea was to become a bomber or ob server in the aviation service. "If the young men of our country could see the atrocities committed by that army of barbarians or see our pure American girls under Are they would never hesitate. I have seen an American hospital bombed, killing helpless wounded men on their cots, wounding two nurses, but yet it seems that a 3000 mile gap is too much for many of our boys. "I would not consider myself worthy to live under 'Old Glory' or worthy of my descent if I were not proud to have lost my legs in the service of Uncle Sam and liberty. "Very sincerely, (signed) "MACK." ULTIMATUM T0J0LLA1 LONDON, April 23. The German ultimatum to Holland, according to advices received in London, demands the right of transit not only for civilian supplies and of sand and gravel through Holland but also for war ma terials.

A re-arrangement of allied credits by which the United States will lend large amounts more directly to France, It aly and the other allies instead of through Great Britain, is under consid eration by the treasury'. This would tend to lessen Great Britain's obliga tions to the United States and de crease the demand of other allies on her. The United States has now extend ed credits to the allies of 15,286,000, 000. including $138,000,000 still to the credit of Russia, and has paid out $4. 900,000,000. Great Britain has received $2,720,000,000; France has received $1, 565,000,000, and Italy $550,000,000. oo MARINE KITING OFFICE TO HEOPEN A marine recruiting office will be re-opened In Ogden on Wednesday by Sergeant Lynn Meibos, who was in charge of the office here last year. Sergeant Meibos was In Ogden to day making arrangements for an of fice, although he did not find a loca tion before returning to his present headquarters in Salt Lake. In speak ing of the intention tu re -open the of fice here, Sergeant Meibos said: "The marino corps is opening a new campaign for men, and now is the time for the young men who have bo come twenty -one years old since last Juno to enlist They should get in while the opportunity is open if they prefer this branch of the service, urhf-h nffnr KAma fmn . , There will be a good opportunity for young men to become commissioned officers. The war department, ac cording to our latest instructions, in tends to send a whole brigade of mar ines to fight at the front in France. They will fight side by side with the men in the trenches." The sergeant said that he would like to have some of the young men who are- just finishing in high school tome up and talk over the marine corp ser vice with him.

I r; LIBERTY LOAN TOTAL FOB OGDEN IS NOW J831.ll Ogden's Liberty loan total now stands at $831,500. The addition yes terday amounted to $49,000 with 391 subscribers buying bonds, most of them for small amounts. With the goal to be reached of $1,300,000 the sub scriptions to date leave $468,500 to be raised, if no efforts are made to have the city exceed its quota. Reports from the county districts are encouraging. Tho Huntsville dis trict has oversubscribed its apportion ment by $2100 Its apportionment was $4000 Alma Peterson, chairman of the Huntsville committee, made this report last evening. Roy also has over subscribed Its quota n oiui; vi I'auiuui; bacrillCC Wnicn shows the roal spirit President Wilson wishes Americans to have toward the loan developed today. Sam Wilson, a section foreman for the Union Pacific, at present located at Echo, paid cash recently for $5000 worth of liberty bonds, his life's savings. Done with out ostentation, he thought no more of the matter but he soon received ti le grams from Secretary McAdoo, s re tary Redfield and President Calvin of ih'' r.ulrnul company, praising Ins ac tion and thanking him for his support. The campaign in Ogden is still pro gressing with success. Yesterday's subscriptions totaled one of the small est records of the campaign but they showed general interest among small subscribers, which is the spirit the Liberty loan organization has tried to foster. According to leaders of the or ganization in the county this drive has been characterized by more uni versal support among the small sub scribers than the other two. The- making of a record showing the "loan Blackers" and all who have not given their aid during this campaign is being preferred by Secretary O. J. Stilwell. This list will be submitted to the Liberty loan organization before the final days of the campaign so that these persons may be visited finally and given a chance to subscribe. The report of yesterday's subscrip tions from each bank is as follows: lesicraay iorai First National $ 7,100 $141,500 Osden Savings 2.650 37,700 I tah National . 21,950 350,000 Pingreo National 2,950 82,950 Security National .... 2,450 38,050 Commercial National. 2,550 57,700 Total $49,200 $S31.500 The campaign of the Boy Scouts of Ogde n and Weber county will be start ed April 27 There are seven troops ' in Ogden and three in Weber county and the scouts are prepared to make i a house to house canvass after the regular workers have finished.

Tay lor, special field commissioner for the Boy Scouts of America spent several hours in the city yesterday afternoon in conference with local scout leaders and talked over with them plans for the "gleaning." oo LADIES' AUXILIARY OF B.

The most re-assuring feature at the irregular opening of today's stock market was the stronger tone of the railway list. Reading soon advanced a point and other high grade rails showed general improvement. Elsewhere gains and losses were evenly distributed, a two point decline in Atlantic-Gulf being offset by a gain of as much for Conti nental Can. Metals were firmer but numerous specialties yielded substantial frac tions from yesterday's final quotations. Liberty bonds eased slightly. Early activity was succeeded by dullness and general reactions before the end of the first hour. Rails forfeit ed their gains and United States Steel was again under pressure. Mexican de velopments were rellected in the heav iness of oils. Shippings and motors manifested their recent backward ten dencies and utilities were lower. The only issues to show strength were In specialties under control of profes spiration Copper, People's Gas and specialties under control of profes sional Interests.

Fine weather and continued liberal receipts tended today to ease the corn market. The selling, however, was chiefly of a local character. Trade lacked volume. Opening prices, which ranged from c off to $4c advance with May $L277s and July $1.47: were follow" ed by a setback that carried July de cided under yesterday's finish. Assertions that exporters had re duced their bids weakened oats. Fore casts of freezing temperatures in some of the high producing btates had only a transient bullish effect. After open ing unchanged to -"c higher with May 84 to 844c, the market underwent a moderate sag. Provisions advanced notwithstand ing lower quotations on hoes.
