The L. :. Marshal at Salt Lake CITY
Coming Money.
The Government swindled ont of d
Large Amount.
County Officials Also Enriching
Themselves UnIawfully.

SALT LAKE. Dec. 1.-THE grand jury in
the third district court this afternoon made
a report 1t shows 1t has been the prac-
tice of the T. {. marshal 10 charge the
penitentiary . to 40 cents per gallon for
milk from the cows kept there and cared
for bv prison labor and fed principally
from food raised upon the reservation or
paid for by the government These milk
vouchers since 1882 have amounted to
5000. The marshal has also been selling
to the penitentiary potatoes raised on the
reservation by convict labor Other
fruitful sources of revenue for
him were team hire for the deputies
hauling prisoners to and from the peni-
tiary. etc. The marshall also supports,
partly from public supplies and table leay-
ings, twelve mich cows. 100 hogs and two
extra horses. In one year one team. for
which the government provided a driver.
earned the sum of g 300. The Jury SAYS
for $500 the government could provide
itself with horses, wagons and harness, to
perform all this service, and for 500 adj
ditional, could purchase two good cows.
sufficient TO furnish all the milk necessary
for the penitentiary and it would
seem as though it were economy to
do this. The jury also complains that
the marshal has shown unusual favors
to the prisoners convicted Of unlawful CO.
habitation The supplies now furnished
the penitentiary arc twenty-five per cent.
in excess of its needs, and at Il price
twenty-five per cent too high The jury
also Investigated the administration Of the
county affairs, and make a sensational re-
port thereon. The road work has received
in five years Sll4,000 and there are no
bids on the work and no proper vouchers
The county has sunk in canals 1922. 900
and has no canals save a waste ditch, and
have nothing to show for the money The
collectors defalcatiOns are severely com
mcuted upon. The county has lost
$4,000 by two collectors and
81 900 through clerk The report says
the county officials deal with themselves
as business firm for supplies and show
favoritism to Mormon prisoners. The
county court has also voted away valuable
franchises for 40 public consideration.
Officers have been trading with each other
for supplies and entering into partnership
with spoilers, dividing with them fines
imposed. The city has also paid to the
bogus hydraulic canal company 81. 697 for
an interest in the Jordan river and dam.
which the company never owned, but
which the county obligingly bonded over
to the city, the county not receiving a
cent of the money. Thereport in closing
charges that the bulk ofthis fund found
its way into the pockets of the city and
county officials.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON John II Beauty of
Iowa, has been appointed chief of a
division in the registers office, treasury
department.
The Sicott enlightenment case on in
vestigation shows that Congressman have
been very careless in the matter Of their
salaries. Some have not drawn enough
while others have drawn too much.
f. T. BEcKs, Of Kansas. and c. J. Nc
Cord, of Wisconsin have been appointed
messengers in the House post Office; John
S. Kellogg has been appointed clerk Of the
Committee on Accounts,
WAsuGNGToN.- Since the Inauguration
of Secretary Window policy reducing
the amount Of government deposits in
national banks, a, lS2. 600 bonds have
been surrendered by the banks.
Ar a special meeting of the Women's
National Industrial League of America
Silcctt's defalcation was considered, and
a resolution adopted that all discussing
agents of the government in Washington
should he women. Men can, saws the re5o-
luton, enjoy their ill-gotten money abroad
with ease, but no temptation Is strong
enough 10 induce am American woman to
expatricate herself. Congress is asked to
pass a law giving preference to women in
such appointments hereafter.
WASHINGTON. Senator Tmpie adj
dressed the senate on Tuesday on his reso-
luton regarding trusts He said trusts
were the gigantic sin Of this age and gen
Grafton. They were an iniquitous system
that hOneycombed the whole world of do
nestle commerce with fraud falsehood
suspicion, distrust and impurity. They
are a nuisance, open and notorious; but it
could not be grappled with and suppressed
as other nuisances, and such legislation as
was proposed in the bills introduced by
Senators Sherman and George lin conjunc-
ton with his own proposition for confisca
tion of goods should be enacted and en-
forced
WASHINGTON Several members of the
senate Judiciary committee are discussing
proposition to increase the number of
justics of the United States Supreme court
from nine to eleven The enlargement of
the court is held to be necessary because of
the rapid increase in the business from the
state courts. besides the new states will
add largely to the number Of cases on the
Supreme court docket. If the reorganiza-
tion of the court is sanctioned by congress
it is probable that at least three of the
present members Justices Miller, Field,
Bradley will avail themselves of the
privilege of retiring on full pay thus Civ
ing the president an opportunity to APP
point five new judges.

woMANIN BUSINESS.

Marine Harland contributes to the North
American Review an article entitled The
Incapacity Of Business Women At the
commencement Of it she takes il for granted
that men are more successful in business
than women, and declares that the member
of her sex who does not recognize this fact
is a short-sighted champion of it. She
then proceeds to give the reason why
women are less successful than men in
manufacturing. trade and even in teach
ing, an occupation that in many respects
is best suited to them The fundamental
cause of the unftness of the average woman
for business pursuits the author thinks Is
to be found in precedent. In no civilized
country since the world began has the
average woman been employed In business
on her own account. II she has worked it
has been for fixed wages or for he. board
and clothes. She has depended ON mca FOR
employment and support She ha. not
planned great enterprises has not directed
the labor Of others and has not had the
care of large sums of money. When given
employment. a woman S waysarenot likely

alterations with her mates II she is /
