WASHINGTON, d. c.. May 2S.
The Utah commission has been knocked
out after all.
The committee on appropriations today
reported back TO the House the legislative,
Judicial and executive appropriation bill
abolishing TIE commission.
This was a great surprise to every one,
except TO Mr.. Game, who still had hopes
that it would be done.
1t was great victory for Mr. Game. and
is due almost wholly to his efforts with
Chairman Holman.
In fact as | wired you. the appropria-
tions committee had already decided to re-
port back the bill with the usual clause an.
propriating the necessary money for the
commission, but Mr.. Game explained TO
Chairman Holman how utterly useless a
body the commission was, and that it was
a total variance with the Democrats as an
economical measure.
Colonel Godfrey left the city few days
ago feeling confident that he had SO ar
ranged matters that he would
CONTINUE TO HOLD HIS srSEcURE
as a member of the Utah commission, and
he will doubtless feel like a man who has
had the ground taken from under his feet.
when he reads the news in the morning.
The particular clause of The bill of such
vital interest to Utah was prepared by Mr..
Game. After abclishing the commission it
says that ell powers and duties conferred
on said board are hereby imposed upon and
shall be discharged without compensation

secretary of the territory, who in addition
TO being member of the board, shall be

saw Chairman Holman tonight and
asked how the committee came to change
its position at the last moment
1--WE did it,' he said, sbecause it was
right When 1 came to understand the sit
uation fully l was unwilling to report back
the bill to the House and recommend this
unnecessary item. The commission does
not appear to me necessary, and we have
NO MONEY FOR ORNAMENTS
1 believe the change will prove a good one. ,,
Another change in which Mr.. Game was
greatly interested in bringing about was in
regard to the Industrial Christian home.
AS amended the clause reads: "There are
hereby granted to the territory of Utah for
uses hereinafter declared, the property and
premises known as the Industrial Christian
Home of Utah, situate in the city and
county of Salt Lake, territory of Utah.

provided, that the granted premises shall
be used by said territory as site and &C
commolations for school for deaf and
dumb mutes, until Congress shall other
wise provide"
4 Mr.. Game is in high feather. He feels
greatly pleased at the turn affairs have
taken, and he has right to.
