TEUTONS HOLD ALL OF OLD SERBIA
Central States in Grip of Severe Storm
By FRANK G. MATSON,
Special Correspondent of International
News Service.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Nov, 19
A hallowed mockerv of the once ar
rogant Joseph Hillstrom, self-styled
“martyr to the courts and customs
of the country,” died at 7:42 o'clock
this morning In the executioner’'s
chalr at the Utah State Prison. Five
men, armed with rifles, fired at the
given signal. Four bullets plerced a
target placed over the condemned
man's heart
The sun was just rising and threw
a red glare ovef the walls 'of (he
pofson inside of which the ghastly
affair was enacted. For miles around
all was quiet, but within the prison
there was a great hubbub., Thirty
three witnesses, peace officers and
newspaper men, had gathered to see
Hillstrom meet his fate, A few guards
paced the walls, The inmates of the
prison gave no sign of life, and ail
were still asleep
At 7 o'clock. the Sheriff and his
deputies went tc Hillstrom’s cell. They
found him awake and pacing back
and forth withir the narrow con
fines of the tour wills. He had
learned through the secret channels of
the prison that telegrams had been
sent which purported to prove an
alibf for him. He relied on these 10
the last to save his life. When asked
if he was ready, Hillstrom almost
collapsed. Asked if he cared to see a
minister of the Gospel, he clinched h’s
teeth and cried out:
Fights Officials.
“No., Get away from me, All of
you get away or I'll kill you.”
The~warden opened the cell door
and the Sheriff called to Hillstrom
to come out The doomed man re
treated to the corner of his cell and
gank down on his cot. The Sher:ff
and a deputy entered. At the same
moment Hillstrom stood up. The ceil
was dark. The Sheriff saw only .e
figure of the man in front of him
The Sheriff advanced a step.

Paris Modistes Give 6
- Gowns to Mrs. Galt to
- Uphold Embargo Pact
! By CHARLES F. BERTELLI,
| (Staff Correspondent of the International News Servicey
S ARIS, Nov. 19.—Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt, fiancee of Pres
-5P ident Wilson, will receive as a wedding present from
§ Paris couturiers six winter gowns of the latest model,
They will be the finest that can be turned out in the eity which
{ lirects fashions of the world. ;
} Aceording to one of the six couturiers the deeision to pre
;. sent the fiancee of the American president with the gowns was
% brought about by a striking incident. The syndicate of Parisian
! iressmakers had decided not to sell winter dress models to
{ Amerieans of German origin. When this announcement was
made by Paul Poiret, the most famous designer in Paris, Oscar
;Kunzman. one of the leading New York buyers, threatened to
{ involve the affair in a diplomatie incident.
: Mr. Kurtzinan is quoted by the couturiers as saying:
: 1 want your gowns for the future wife of the President of
the United States. If you refuse, Mrs. Galt may bring about ae
tion in Washington.”’
| The members of the syndicate thereupon definitely decided
{ not to have any business dealings with Kurtzman, but in order
| to show their respect for President Wilson and his flancee, they
! decided to send six of their finest ereations to Mrs. Galt as a
$ wedding present.
HIGH WINDS ARE DEFIED
BY AVIATOR WOKRDEN
Some of them blamed it on Joe
Cochran and Joe blamed it on the
Festival management, and Captain J.
Hector Worden didn't blame anybody
definitely. but he knew he didn’t have
a permit to drop bombs in Pledmont
Park, and he wasn't going up against
a lawsuit. So the crowd which went
to the park Friday just before noon
stcod about the airship tent and shiv.
eted until its teeth chattered.
You see, Captain Worden was to
have enacted the “Siege of Liege,"”
with a fort and bombs from his air
ghip. But to put up even a canvas
picture of a fort one must drive
stakes in the ground. And the man
who runs the park said Park Mana
ger Joe Cochran had forbidden any
stake driving or landscape mutilation
unless he, WMr. Cochran, issued an of
ficial permit.
Mr. Cochran hadn’'t issued the offi
cial permit because everybody forgot
to ask him. And he didn’t propose,
he said, to have just anybody and
everybody coming along and using
his park without asking.
Captain Worden had made up his
mind there’'d be no exhibition when
Ben Lee Crew, president of the Park
Board, arrived. He had been reached
by the festival assoclation and asked
to act as ambassador,
“Go ahead and put up your fort,”
he said, just before noon. "
«ppat will take two hours,” pro
tested Worden. “Can you hold the
crowd?”
After some debate, it was agreed
that Captain Worden would give a
plain and simple flight then, just to
show good faith, and that on Satur
day forenoon, about 11 o'clock, he
weuld éarry out his original program
of destroying the canvas fort by
pombs from thef air.
The flight began about 11:50 and
ended about 11:56. Worden flew
around the race track several times,
up to Tenth strest and back and
down to the turf. It was an entirely
successful flight, what there was of it,
and it was done daringly in a high
wind. )
But Saturday at 11 o'clock he
promises the real show.
" There was a pause Friday in pa
