SALT ixA-. Ban, 9.---News was received
here yesterday from Washington to the
effect that Col. Samuel Merritt had been
appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court OF Utah to succeed Judge Zane.
Frank Harris of Salt Lake City was also sp-
pointed to be Receiver of Public Moneys.
At two o'clock yesterday the thirty first
session OF the Utah Legislature convened.
All were present but Councillor Adams who
sent word that he was ill but would report
later. Mr.. Breeken was chosen president Of
the Council and A. B. Emery was elected
Speaker of the House. The Governors re.
port was read to the members yesterday and
it is very brief. Anticipating early State
hood the Governor recommends the law
makers to con6ne themselves to matters of
urgent necessity and the taking OF prelimi-
narn steps only ''in the Inauguration OF new
subjects" For the University and Agri.
cultural college he thinks legislation should
be limited to making the necessary appro.
priations for meeting the current expenses of
those institutions. He repeats his old rec
commendation for the establishing of an
irrigation commission; advocates an appro-
priaton of 1925, 900 to be given the site of
the capitol; speaks good word for the pro
posed monument to Brigham Young and
recommends that it be given sight in the
capitol grounds. He urges the enactment of
law to enable the forming of Territorial
militia, eight hours as legal days work,
wants the lien law revised and amended,
thinks the Territorial warrants should be
kept as good as gold in this Territory, and
finally urges prompt work that the real
business may not be postponed as usual
until the last days of the session when the
executive has not time to give to measures
more than hasty examination. The mess.
age is very brief and totally ignores many
subjects that it was expected would be
dwelt upon.
Last evening an earthquake shock was ex.
perienced in this city and for few moments
there was great commotion in Zion. There
were seven or eight vibrations in about four.
teen to sixteen seconds time.
CHICAGO, JAM, "a number of the
beautiful Worlds Fair buildings were de.
stroyed by fire last night. The fire was
started by two tramps out of revenge.
Later news states that the Liberal Arts
building was only partially destroyed but
the casino, music hall and peristyle are re-
duced to ashes. The loss by water to the
foreign exhibits is enormous. It was a
scene of awful grandeur and has been called
since last night the Worlds Fair Pompeii."
WASHINGTON, d. c. Jan. 9.-No nomina.
tions came to the Senate to-day owing to its
early adjournment A mum ber will un.
doubtedly go in tomorrow. Appointments
to the post Offices at Ogden, Provo and Park
City are expected then.
Representative Rawlins feels at present
that he will not make any speech on the
tariff bill. The time of the House is entire
ly occupied for some time to come.
SALT LAKE, JAM, l0.-The members of
the legislature are getting down to solid
work. Yesterday the Republicans and
Democrats were separated. On the Repub.
lican side Varinn and Allen have seats in
the front row, and in a similar position on
the Democratic side Judge Powers holds
forth.
The committees in both houses were an.
pointed yesterday and several bills were in.
troduced. Among the latter are measures
proposed to regulate dentistry; on the re.
demption of real estate; memorial for lead.
an eight hour law; remonetization of silver.
Statehood memorial and one to protect
wool.
Powers and Allen are the fighters of the
House; whenever one leads the other
counters. Powers is easily the leader of the
Democratic party of the House It ia be.
hsved that another strong fight will be made
to change the capitol sight from this city to
one Of the aspiring villages to the northward.
So far as can at this time be ascertained.
there will be no railroad legislation though
there are members Of the House who believe
in the holy crusade against railway corpora.
tions. Councilman Williams said he vould
favor any legislation that had for its object
the releasing of railway corporations from
the receivers by the improvement of bust.
ness and the proper additions to business
that would make receivers unnecessary.
The payment Of wage earners, in lawful
money Of the United States, will receive
attention and legislation will be ATTEMPTED
that will excite the opposition Of those who
operate atores in connection with their mine,
and works; this will not be partizan meas.
ure but will be supported by Republicans
ana Democrats alike and will be approved
in like manner by the Governor.
Q. $. Varian will champion the laborer
with mechanics lien law for the protection
OF those who supply labor and material He
aea'res to hsve enacted law that will grant
prior rights to the mechanics and labor.r,
ana then protect those who supply the ma.
tsrial. He believes that the contractor c.n
protect himself.
