IvppIsosurSr BY PlEcEMEAI.-

IMPRISONMENT BY PlEcEMEAL.-A
GOOD story is told of Judge Kent. A
man was indicted for burglary, and the
evidence on the trial showed that this
BURGLARY consisted in cutting a hole
through rubber tent i'll which several
persons were sleeping and then prol'c.-
inc his head and arm through the hole
and abstracting various articles OF value.
1t was claimed by his counsel that, IL,
asmuch as he never actually entered
into the tent with his whole body, he
had not committed the otfense charged,
and must, therefore, be discharged;
Judge Kent, in reply to this plea. told
the Jury that, if they were not satisfied
that the whole man was involved in
the crime they might bring in a verdict
of guilty against so much of him as Nas
thus involved. The jury, after a few
moments of consultation, found Il e
right arm, the right shoulder and the
head of the prisoner guilty of the Of
Tense of burglary. The Judge sen
tenced the right arm, the right should
or and head to imprisonment at hard
labor in the State prison for two years,
ramarking that, as to the rest of bis
body, he might do with it what he
pleased.

AFTER THE PHONE.
The United States Files Complaint
Against the Bell Company.
And Asks for an Annuiment of the Pat
ents Granted, as the same Had
Been Applied for Before.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Attorney GEN
eral Miller today filed complaint in the
United States circuit court for the dis
trict of Massachusetts at Boston against
the American Bell Phone company and
Berliner. 1t is in thirteen paragraphs and
asks for annuling the patent. A patent,
No. 463, $50 for combined telegraph and
telephone was applied for by Berliner on
June 4, 1877, and issued Nov. H. 1891 to
the American Bell Telephone company as
Berliner's assignee. The ground upon
which application for annuling the
patent is made are that the claims set up
in the Berliaer patent was covered by
previous patents issued to the Bell COM
parry. That possession of said patent is
valid and will continue to the Bell COM
DBny without substantial dlminution
during the full term thereof.
The same is q close monopoly and that
it is against the spirit and intent of the
laws, and against justice and equity that
the monopoly and same invention shall be
prolonged in one and the same person by
grant Of first of patent or patents, for
an invention in q practical and applied
for form, and afterwards of a patent COW
ering markedly and broadly the fundamen-
tai principle of the same invention. The
complaint is presented by Robert S. Taylor
as special counsel. Taylor is a patent
lawyer OF Fort Wayne, Ind. who has
made a specially of the study of practical
devices.

THE sam PEDRO HARBOR.
The Chamber of Commerce Favors an
Appropriation.

The Chamber of Commerce Favors an
Appropriation.
The following resolutions were adopted
by the chamber OF commerce yesterday:
To the Honorable, the Senate and House Of
Representatives OF the United States of
America in Congress assembled:
GENTLEMEN-We. the Undersigned president
and secretary Of the chamber OF commerce of
the city OF Salt Lake. q. t. have been directed
to forward to your honorable body the follow
ing resolutions adopted by the chamber:
Whereas, a duly constituted board OF en-
gineers OF the United States has pronounced in
favor of the feasibility and advisability Of con-
STRUGGLING deep water harbor at San Pedro on
the coast OF Los Angeles county, Cal, which
shall be capable OF accommodating ocean going
vessels OF the largest draft; and,
Whereas, such harbor would afford the
whole territory OF Utah, and especially to the
citizens and Blu sness interests of this Salt Lake
city, nearer point OF communication with the
ocean and the commercial advantages which
ocean transportation OF freight affords; and
Whereas, The establishment of such har.
Dor will be great benefit to the commerce Of
this territory and this city; and,
Whereas. The beginning of the construction
of such harbor would Immediately stimulate
the development of railroad connection be-
tween this territory and that point which would
result in opening up to use and occupancy q
large portion of the finest coal and iron lands of
the Union, whose resources are at the present
time unavailable for the lack of transportation
facilities; therefore, be it
Resolved, First That this chamber does
most respectfully petition the Congress Of the
United States to appropriate at its present
session the OF at least $500 0J0 for the pur-
pose OF commencing and prosecuting the work
of construction OF deep-water harbor at said
point of San Pedro.
Second, That the president and secretary Of
this chamber are hereby directed to forward 10
our territorial delegate at Washington, a COPY
of these resolutions to be laid before the Sem
ate and House committees on rivers and har-
bors W. E. HUBBARD,

THE SAN FRANCISCO ROAD.
Mr.. D. F. Walker Says Its Pros
poets Are Bright.
PRELIMINARY WORK DONE.
Surveys Completed, Estimates Made
and Engineers Report Received.
MIR. Walker Is Interested in the Project
The Phoebe Extension-A Million
Dollars Would Complete It
The Gould-CIark Policy

D. F. Walker, for many years one of
the most prominent business men of Salt
Lake, once a member of the firm of
Walker Brothers, but now resident Of
San Francisco, left for that city with his
wife last evening, after spending pleas
ant week in his old home. The gentle
man still retains his heavy interests here,
and in San Francisco is engaged in the
real estate and building business. Since
he took up his residence there, he has
erected fourteen expensive residences, and
it is reported that his operations in this
line have been quite profitable, as have
his real estate investments.
A HERALD reporter called on Mr..
Walker at the Knutsford yesterday and
was cordially received. When asked if
he could give any information as
to the status of the proposed
Salt Lake & San Francisco road, the
gentleman said: al believe that
the chances for carrying out the
plans are excellent. l was greatly sur
prised few days ago to read that the
project had been abandoned, and am sat-
ished that such is now the case. The
only person [ know in this enterprise is
MIR. Steele, formerly with the American
Sugar company. Just before | left San
Francisco, he told me That the surveys
had been completed, the estimates made,
and that he had just received the engi-
neers' reports.
A meeting of those interested, myself
among the number. will be held soon af-
ter my return, when all of these matters
Will be considered and it is my belief that
the prospect will then take definite shape.
Except in a general way, am not
familiar with the proposition, but in that
way ! certainly think it good one, and
will lend what assistance can towards
carrying it out. When the scheme was
first proposed, you know, it was looked
upon with considerable favor. Then this
preliminary work had to be done, and
pending that the agitation was sus-
pended. But the project is not dead, nor
even sleeping, and think the public will
hear something from it in very short
time.''
