WILL THEY DISGORGE
Have the Councillors Been Draw
ing Salaries Illegally?
Good Grounds For the Belief that Many Of
the Meetings Held We're Illegal AMI
Action Void.

It was stated upon good authority yes
terday that the legality of all of the acts OF
the council in the work of revision, would
be questioned in an Injunction suit. to be
filed, to compel the councilmen attending
the sessions of council at which the revis-
ion of the ordinances were considered, to
refund the money paid them for such SER
vices.
Who such suit was to be filed by was
stated only in the terms that he was re-
putable and well known taxpayer.
The grounds upon which such case is
TO be based is said to be that provision OF
the charter which states that all meetings
OF the council must be attended by the city
recorder or his deputy, who must certlty
to all such proceedings.
1t is a well known fact that but few II
any of the meetings ST the council for the
purpose of revision were ever attended by
the recorder or his deputy, but that all
proceedings at such meetings were certl-
fed to by one of them the record 1t IS be-
lieved will show
1t is contended by Compiler Lippman, to
whom the matter was preached by HER
AID reporter, that such meetings OF the
council were only adjourned or continued
meetings of the reg ular session and that
the certitication by the recorder had been
duly made to all records.
How far the absence of that official or
his deputy from such meetings would effect
the validity of such proceedings only a
very wise lawyer could tell, taking 1t for
granted that Mr.. Lippman's position is
correct.
However, the point developed of greatest
interest just now is the fact that the solons
have done SO little work and have spent
the peoples time and money to so little ad-
vantage that taxpayer, in behalf OF him
self and others, is thinking of compelling
them to disgorge the money paid them for
attending such meetings.
Some of the couucil are level-headed men
who make pretense, ct least OF settling
down to work in dead earnest at each
meeting of the council. The fact is, how
ever, that they have never yet carried out
such laudible Intentions, but have gone
from bad to worse.
Meetings have been held at q cost to the
axpayer of nearly 500 per night, which
have been simply disgraceful rows.
A convention of Kilkenny cats would be
dignited body alongside of the common
council of Salt Lake at one of its usual ses
sions, and in all the time not one thing
beneficial to the people has been done.
Time and money has been wasted In per-
sonal wrangles, fllibustering and growl-
ing over precedence or some uRlmportant
motion.
Rules of decorum. of ordinary social in
tercourse and those usually governing
deliberative bodies have been set at de-
fiance, elimination and recrimination
has been INDUCED in, while matters of
vital Importance to the city's interest lay
on the table uracted upon.
A halt should have been called long ago,
and the curtain rung down on the monkey
y, 80
masquerading as city solons, and this senti-
ment is applauded by the people who are
now at the back of the talked of injunction
suits.

Williams Trainer Discharged Be-
fore the Fight Came Off.
Some Startling Revelations Promised on the
Return of His Manager from
the Coast

The Jim Williams aggregation will re-
turn to the city this evening with flying
colors.
1t is limited about among the inside
sports that when Del Wilson gets back
there will be a nice little conspiracy uu-
ravel that will reflect indifference on the
part Of Williams trusty trainer in getting
his man in shape for the Turner match.
This may turn out to be all idle suspicion
and i'll advised gossip.
Anyway the dismissal OF Jerry Mahoney
on Monday, who was imported to put Jim
in shape to best Turner has yielded grist
of sensational rumors that are whispered
about in such way as to reflect against a
number OF men who are suspeeten OF hav-
ing put up JOB that would have made
them safe winners had it not been niDped
in the nick of time
When Williams took sick, just on the
eve of his former engagement with the
colored man, there were those who openly
avowed that he had been tempered with
"doped," was the choice expression.
Such practices are known to the ring as
well as TO the race track, and it may be that
the Utah boy was chosen as an easy target
for the Vaccinations of the men who will
take desperate chances when there is a
on q sure catch.
Whether the scheme, If there is any, to
impair Jim's capacity was to train him on
the wrong track or ito do him. in his diet
has not been learned, as Tom Busby is
keeping close mouth until ne learns the
full particulars from his partner, Del
Wilson, who is due home tonight.

Newsy Notes of Utah's Great
Mining Camp.

PARK CRY, Nov. Corresponding
of THE HERALD. An accident occurred
at the Anchor tunnel Friday night
which fortunately was unattended
with any fatal result. It occurred at IL
o'clock as the shift was coming off work.
Six men, who were employed there, were
coming through the tunnel on trolly at a
rather fast gait when they struck a car
filed with ore which had got off the track.
Andrew Young, who was seated in front
of the trolly, had both his legs and body
mashed and his nose and face badly dis
figured. The other men escaped with
nothing more serious than a good Earring.
The injured man was taken to town where
his injuries were promptly attended to.
The physician found that no bones were
broken ana Mr.. Young is Congratulated on

were all brought before Police Justice

of the defeat on the poor work OF the Lib.

to the Democrats for the efficient organlza-
ton established IN the short time they had
to work in. The full returns have not vet
been received but enough is known to
prove that the Democrats elect all their
officers, with the possible exception of the
coroner and treasurer. The Liberals claim
the election of the treasurer by two votes.

IN A CHINESE DEN.
A Matter That Should be at Once
Looked Into.
Young Girls who are in the Habit of Visiting
Cinnamon May Yet Come to
Grief

All Lee, Chinese gardener who lives in
a small shack opposite the Odd Fellows
hall on Market street. was placed in jail
yesterday afternoon by Officers White and
Armstrong upon charge of assault COM
mitted upon Jennie, Crouch, an 1l-year-old
girl who lives with her parents on Third
South and Fist West streets.
The case, while not possessing merit
enough to sustain the charge made. has
opened up a condition of things that call
for most heroic treatment.
The child. it seems. was sent TO the
gardener by her mother to purchase q head
Of cabbage. The Chinaman invited her
into his shack and, as she has done on
numerous other occasions, she accepted the
invitation and went in.
Nearby neighbOrs. who had noticed the
frequent visits of young girls to the China
mans place and their stay for an unusual
length of time, determined TO have the mat
ter investigated and for that purpose called
Officer White. He, on ascertaining the
situation, rang in an alarm for the patrol
and 1t was responded to Ey Officer Arm
strong and Patrol Driver Davis with the
wagon.
The police at once entered the shanty
and arrested the Chinaman and took him .
jail in company with the little girl.
At the hall the child related that no as
sault mad been made upon her; that the
ChiHaman fondled her slightly, but that
was a matter Of small consequence, as her
sister, girl sixteen years of age, was a
frequent visitor there, and to her knowl-
edge submitted herself to the embraces Of
All Lee With her older sisters conductas
guide for her, the action of the celestial
in patting her on the cheek and making
other slight advances seemed quite imma-
teriai to her.
The statement of the child that her sister
was q frequent visitor to the place. was
without confederation, but is accepted by
the police as a fact.
People living in the vicinity also state
that every day girls Of various ages are
seen going into All Lees place and remain
there for various periods from ten minutes
TO q half hour
The girls mother, when she was accom-
panied home by an officer, seemed to attach
small moment to the affair and refused TO .
discuss the matter beyond stating that she
had sent her daughter thers and that SIG
was well acquainted with All Lee.
