THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Faith doctors ; reap Dldhtherla.

The alarming spread of diphtheria in In
dianapols, Ind, mas called the attention OF
the health department TO a serious state OF
affairs arising from the practices OF the
Christian Scientists. In some cases the
sanitarian has been refused admission to
homes where children were dying and no
effort was being made to save them except
by faith doctors who knelt at the bedside
and prayed until life had departed. The
sanitary officers heard of several fatal cases
that had not been reported. 1t is charged
by the health officials that the Christian
Scientists have been meeting in a body at
the bedside of diphtheria patients. going
from one house to another and carrying the
disease into places where the inmates had
not been exposed When taken before the
coroner some of the witnesses refuse to be
sworn. Many of the people giving the
health department trouble in this manner

P1PELAY1NG COMMENCES MONDAY.

All of the necessary fittings and
fixtures having now arrived on the
ground, pipe laying is to be resumed
on Monday in the trench of the Amer
lean Natural Gas company. The mains
have been strung along the cut for
distance of several miles and every
thing is in readiness for actual opera
lions.
The stock of the company continues
to advance, although not with such
great bounds as marked its course a
week ago. 1t is now held at 90 cents,
however, and there is not much to be
had at that price. Nearly all of the up
ward movement has been due to- the
continual bulIing of a. purchaser for a
large block of the stock.

DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF.
Internal ConvuIsions OF the Utah
Plumbing and supply Company.

L
Plumbing md Supply Company.
The Utah Plumbing and Supply COM
pany is now in the position Of a house
divided against itself, the board of oil
rectors having been disrupted through
a serious division among its members.
This division eliminated yesterday
morning in the dismissal of Brigham
M. Enerbeck as manager and the cleo
ton of John G. Midgley to the position,
also the selection of Henry Green to
fill an alleged vacancy in the directo-
rate. 1t is highly probable that the
matter will find adjudication in the
courts, for the warning factions are firm
in the position they have taken and
do not propose to bulge one inch
either way.
For some time past there have been
two factions in the company, which
was organized with the view of sup
plying all of the local plumbing estab-
hshments with everything neetlful in
the carrying on of their business. One
of these divisions was and is headed
by John G. Midgley and the other by
3. NJ Ellerbeck. The latter had the
control of the stock, which consisted
of 1900 shares, although the former
controlled the actions of the board,
having three of the five directors. On
Friday afternoon, by a vote of three
to two, the board decided to increase
the number of shares of stock by 200,
for the purpose of enlarging the bust
ness of the company, the favorable d.
rectors explained, while the other two
held that it was simply an attempt TO
wrest the control from their side of
the house. The stock was held out for
sale at auction and an exciting con-
test took place between Ellerbeck and
John r. Winder,i jr., a friend of the
| Midgley faction. Winder received the
stock at $4,000, $1.10O above par, al
! though Ellerbeck claimed that he had
outbid him. President Midgley de-
/! clared that he had heard no bid high
er than that of Winder and the sale
! of stock was confirmed by the board
/ then taken and yesterday morning the
| board was again in session and Man
ager Ellerbeck received notice that his
! services as such were no longer re-
quired or desired. The vacancy was
then filed by the selection of John G.
| Midgley. Another surprise was then
sprung by the announcement that
| there was a vacancy also in the direc-
| tory, Will James never having quail
fled, although acting in the capacity
of director. The Midgley faction sCoT-
ed another point by the election of
! Henry Green to fill Mr.. James shoes.
=, 1t is said that the subsequent proceed
ings were extremely stormy and nearly
eliminated in a general scrap. Ener-
| beck and his followers threaten to
| bring suit for the setting aside of the
| action increasing the number of shares
| and the subsequent sale.

Submitted.

San Francisco, Jan. 5.-Advices from
Honolulu by the bark Ceylon, dated
Dec. l, state that President Dole has
submitted the draft of his supposed
new land bill to the cabinet for con-
sideration. Its terms have not been
made public beyond that it forbids the
sale of large tracts of land to corpo-
rations and provides for the sale or
lease Of twenty-five or forty acre lots
to legitimate homesteaders.
The trial of the alleged conspirators
began today.
President Dole has not yet issued
any call for the meeting of the Iegisla-

The government has taken no extra
precautions on account of the diScov-
cry of the alleged conspiracy, and
everything is quiet. The city is over
run with strangers unable to obtain
employment.
