WHAT THE LEGISLATORS SAY.
They Don't See where senator Gull
Iom,s Little Jokc Comes In.

4 reporter OF the DEMOCRAT took &C.
casion to call on number of the mem
bers OF the Legislature to-day, with n
view to learning how they accepted the
news from Washington, relative to the
non-appropriation OF funds 10 meet the
expenses OF the present session.
Mr.. s. Francis, OF the Council, from
Morgan, was not at all agitated over the
announcement, and couldn't see how
himself and other individuals could be
held responsible for the debts OF the Ter
ritory, even if it should be established
that the debt was q legal one. Mr..
Francis spoke for number OF other
members, us well as himself who stood
near and concurred in what was said.
Representative John Rider, from Ka-
nab, thought it was pretty rough to come
400 miles and bear ones own expenses,
to meet with such treatment, but pre-
sumed it would come out all right. He
believed the money had been already
sent out here for the Legislative expenses,
as Secretary Thomas had paid the travel
ing expenses already.
Councillor Joel Grover, OF Nephi, said
he was in n former session OF the Legis-
lature, some eight or ten years ago, when
the Government did precisely the same
thing. He could not see the consistency
in the Legislature making appropriations
to pay debt which the Territory and its
representatives had no voice in creating.
In his opinion the amount OF debt which
was standing on the books at Washing
ton against Utah had grown from such
needless expenses as the Utah Commits
sion, and he thought there was no justice
in holding the Legislators responsible for
it.
Representative Abe Hatch, one of the
most popular members of the present
Legislature, said he was not in the least
surprised at the news which came from
Washington. We have been looking for
it, and it is no disappointment to us.

when Il similar action was taken at
Washington, and my $500 went to the

eyes; but you have it in your power tc
adjust the dispute which occasions the
trouble in this case, haven't you?" in
terrupted the reporter.
"Well, my understanding OF that quar-
ter OF Il million debt held against the Ter
ritory, is that it is the accumulated ex
penscs OF providing for Territorial
prisoners in the United States penitenti
airy and the jurors fees in similar case
prior TO the Legislature undertaken,
to appropriate for jurors fees. w

all at one time. The just thing for TIN
Government to do is to let the matte

DAMAGES ESTIMATED AT $4,000.
The Jury Render u verdict in the
Case of Rose Griffitts vs..
4. ID. Clift.

The jury in the case OF Rose Gritlitts
VS.. f. ID. Cliff, handed TO the court this
morning a verdict for the plaintiff in the
sum of 1920. There had been conflict
ing opinions entertained by those who
watched the progress of the case and
were familiar with its details, and the
verdict, therefore, whatever it might have
been, would certainly have disappointed
and surprised some.
1t appears that shortly after the acct.
dent from which. it is claimed, the girl
Rose Griilits received serious injuries,
her family offered to amicably COM
promise the matter on payment OF $500.
Mr.. Cliff was opposed to paying
anything more than he had already done
in the employment Of a physician, nurse,
ETC., and the case was brought before the
court as result. He feels that the case
was not shown up in its true light, and is
determined to appeal it in order that the
exact merits of the case may be estab-
lished.
The court granted a thirty days stay
for the filing OF a statement, and in the
meantime an appeal will be taken to the
Supreme Court.

STILL THE RATES ARE TUMBLING
From Frisco TO the Missouri River
TOR SIS, and TO Chicago for $50.

The war in passenger rates is waging
with vigor, and may possibly terminate
in travellers receiving a premium for
accepting free tickets. The ID. Il Il. G..
this morning received adviccs that first
class fare from San Francisco to the
Missouri river had been reduced to Sl5,
and TO Chicago to the phenomcnally
low figure OF 500, while through tickets
10 st. Louis were selling at $50. This
morning al cast-bound passengers were
transferred from the G. p. to the ID. & II.
c., and similar brisk westward traffic
is reported. By late arrangement
among the G. p. authorities, all
tickets sold to east-bound passengers at
cut rate prices are limited exactly TO the
time required in making the ride, so that
those who have been ordering tickets in
California to be mailed to them here will
suffer the terrible disaster OF losing day
and FORGETTING the tickets.
Conductors and detectives are eXercis
ing every diligence in the matter o.
scrutinizing dates and comparing sigma
lures, and in every other possible man
ner the railway companies are endeavor
ing to eifectually shut out the business
and profits of the scalpers.

MITCHELL WILL MEET SULLIVAN.
Burke or Dempsey, and would Lik g
the viii to Take place Near
salt Lake.

Charles Mitchell, England's champion
pugilist, whose statuary exhibitions in
the recent minstrel performances here
were so thoroughly appreciated may re-
turn shortly to Salt Lake for more SEN
sational exhibition than any he treated
his audience to in this city. Mitchell has
the best record perhaps of any living pu-
gilist OF to-day, save John l.. Sullivan
alone. While here he met his old ac-
quaintance, Deputy Marshal Cudihee, to
whom he expressed desire to arrange
for n mill with Jack Burke, Dempsey, or
even Sullivan himself. the contest to take
place in or near this city, for any purse
desired. He only wished to be assured
that such an exhibition would be an UNI
questionable success here, and that the
prospects were good for the event TO take
place without endangering himself or his
associates.
The matter was soon noised around,
and there were scores OF the sports and
bloods of the town who grasped at the
proposition with remarkable avidity and
expressed enthusiastic assurances of sup
port. Mr.. Mitchell, just before taking
the train yesterday afternoon for Calfor-
mia, reiterated his willingness and desire
to have arrangements made for IL first
class meeting with any OF Americas
sluggers, and gave assurances to his
friend Cudihee that he would give the
matter his immediate and earnest attcn'
ton, and would open up correspondence
on the subject.
Mitchell, underneath his pleasing face,
refined manners and gentlemanly de-
pertinent, which almost dispel all thought
OF his being the dreaded pugilist that he
is, carries an intellect which, coupled
with his natural and acquired physical
superiority and excellent ring education,
gives him powerful advantage over
others in the profession, and gives him
an even balance against many who are
very much more powerful physically He
has already demonstrated his superiority
over Burke, and when it is remembered
that Burke is the only man that has been
able TO stand before Sullivan's pondcrous
thuggng, it is but reasonable to infer that
a match between Mitchell and America &
champion would prove exceedingly in
tcresting.

IL Might Have Been Worse.

Yesterday afternoon two Of the officers
from Fort Douglas, accompanied by as
many ladies', were galloping up First
South street. AS the couple in advance
got to the crossing at Eighth East street,
the pony ridden by the lady gave sud-
den jump sidewise, precipitating the fair
equestrienne to the ground. Almost at
the same instant, the gallant officer
alightcd from his steed, with the agility
Of well-trained soldier, and had assisted
the lady to her feet almost before she
was aware OF what had happened. In
the dilemma, both horses got away, one
galloping straight on, the other turning
north up Eighth East street. More than
being momentarily frightened, the lady
received no injuries.

Before the Grand Jury.

This morning Deputies Vandercook,
Mix and Smith visited the residence of
A. NJ. Musser, in the First ward, and re-
turned about half-past 10 o'clock with
Mrs. Belinda Musser and Miss Flora
Musser, the polygamous wife and daugh-
ter of A. NJ. Musser. They were taken
into the Grand Jury room, where they
remained for an hour or two. They were
afterwards allowed to 20 their way, and
the reporter inferred that the inauisitors
had obtained all the information they
wanted from the witnesses.
1t was impossible, OF course, to ascer-
tain just what the Musscr family were
wanted for in the Grand Jury room, but
it is safe to conclude that A. NJ. Musser il
being indicted for unlawful cohabitation
Several other members OF the family wert
wanted, but not found. One witness wa
permitted to remain at home because of /.
case OF diphtheria in the house.

A Harvard Professors Joke.

Here is story OF Prof. Sophoclcs which
probably has never been in print:
The old Greek was catechising his class
one day on the ancient history of his
native country.
"When did Theodophius live ?" he
asked OF one sophomore.
"Beforc Christ"
"Wrong" shouted the professor. And
then addressing the next sophomore
when did Theodophilus live?'
CATER Christ"
"Wrong" shouted the Professor again.
And then he repeated the question 10
third student; "When did Thcodophilus
live ?"
"Neither before nor after Christ"
GU are right, young man." said the
Professor. There never was any such
man as Theodophilus."
1t was one of the little historical traps
that Sophocles liked to set for tile
budding wisdom Of Harvard. -Boston

Lead Gradually Going Up.

Lead has been gradually approaching
in value on both sides OF the water. Lon
don rose slowly from el2 to els 5s., and
at latest advices, per cable, was strong
with higher tendency. The average
price OF last year was lower at London
than it has been for many years, being
only about 500 per gross ton, and as
against $40 ten years ago. 1t is univer-
sally confessed there that all the English
mines are in very poor shape to increase
any this year, so that we have every
reason to believe that the English price
will advance to Els or GlG this spring
the only drawback being the gem
eral dizziness there in trade at large. AT
st. Louis and Chicago under sales OF ,0OC
tons between the two places prices has
increased to $40 and $4.75 and even
$3.50, while at New York sales have been
made at s4.95, s. and S5.05, mostly for
eign, and to the extent of 500 tons. 1t is
estimated that we shall need 10, 900 tons
from Europe this year ut least, and high
prices will the rule.

Handsomely Painted.

The extension of the residence of w.

ner of | street, has recently been very
handsomely painted. 1t is done in a
style differing from anything OF the kind
in the city, and displays great taste
The first story is painted in slate
and other more sombre colors; the
second story is in much lighter
coloring and the roof in variegated
shades. These combinations and theii
arrangements are not only very stylish
but unique as can be. Mr.. Smedley can
now boast one OF the prettiest residences
in town. Tullidge & Co. did the work
the same being very complimentary to

Adjourned.

The First Reunion of ex-members of
the legislatures of Maine closed yesterday
in blaze of wit and humor attending the
mock session during the day, and with a
CAV and brilliant ball in the evening, in
which were represented the beauty AS well
as the dignity and mauliness of the State.
Both these features of the occasion
were happily conceived and successfully
carried out, Only experts in the act of
conducting mock sessions could have pro-
duced the mrth provoking scenes of yes
terlav al the State House. 1t would be
difficult to suggest an Improvement. The
wise men of our legislature need fun and
recreation. and this the mock session sup
plies them. II is surprising to ordinary
mortals what vast amount OF latent
humor and practical joking ability these
grave and learned men can develope upon
occasion.
As to the ball it was as brilliant as
beautiful faces and forms. flashing Jew
elry, elegant costumes, and twinklng feet
moving to bewitching music could make
it, II was gay time. Granite Hall has
scarcely known its equal.
With the close OF the reunion and the
final separation there were mingled feel
ings Of pleasure and regret among the
members. 1t had been pleasant to meet
and associate with old friends. though but
for briet time, and at parting feeling
of regret could not be suppressed. The
hope of other reunions. however. has taken
deep root, and it is altogether probable
that they will follow, now that the way is
opened. when ii is hoped that the skies will
be more kindly to the pilgrims who return
to this Mecca of legislation.
