SAGE EXPLAINS IT.

Says Laidlaw Was Hurt Because He Was
So Far Away.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2L-Russell Sage has
been on the stand and told all about the
explosion that resulted in the $4,000
damage suit brought against the financier
by William r. Laidlaw, the latter charg-
ing that the millionaire used him as
shield at the time Norcross' bomb went
off,
He denied all the charges and was
then turned over to Mr.. Joseph H. Choate
for cross examination. Mr.. Sage said
that his nervous system had been
shocked and his hearing affected by the
explosion.
"How do you know your nervous sys-
tenn has suffered?"

'And your appetite is good?"
"Yes."

'Its not gone altogether"
''Then you have not suffered any seri-
GUS permanent injury"
"Oh, yes, have"
slow is it that Laidlaw was injured
SO seriously and you were not hurt SO
much?''
Witness fenced and bit his words and
calculated and smiled, and at last made
it clear that he meant that if he had been
eighteen inches farther away he would
have been injured more seriously.
$50 it's because Laidlaw was eighteen
inches further away that he was injur-
ed?"
"Well-well- don't
think he was seriously injured"
How about your memory-isn't it
somewhat defectivef"
"Well, welF"-and the witness smiled.
"Well, you think it's little defect
ive?"
swell, yes. it may be-"
''Now. to test your memory, can you
tell me how much money you made in
1917"
This was objected to and the objection
sustained amid laughter.

"You're a money lender and dealer il

| "Yes"
"And you call that banking?"
''Yes"
The witness said further that he had {
nephew named Chaplin who was a news
paper reporter, and that the latter called
upon him after the explosion and wrote
an article describing his condition. Mr
Sage said the article was incorrect.

thusiastic strikers named Max Miller,

ALL NICE GIRLS
And They Can't Live on rs Cents Folio
SAYS q Populist Senator.

And They Can't Live on 20 Cents a Folio
Says a Popu1ist Senator.
Considerable feeling has been engen-
dered in the senate because of the ruling
made by Attorney General Dawes to the
effect that the young women comprising
the enrolling force are not entitled to SO
a day as heretofore, but 25 cents for each
folio for work actually done. The en-
rolling force is becoming the subject of
more or less dispute, contention and i'll
feeling.
A Populist senator said today: "Those
enrolling clerks are going to receive SO
a day for their services or there will not
be an appropriation bill of any kind pass
the senate. A good many of the young
ladies came here from distance to &C
cept the places and they can't live on %
cents folio They must practice two or
three weeks before they are able to earn
even the price of one folio.
I'VE propose to see that they are paid
the same wages as any other clerk Of the
legislature.
Regarding the character of the young
women in the employ of the senate,
there has been considerable said. But
want to say right now that every one of
our young women are above reproach.
Most of them come from the farm and
know nothing of city life and its wiles
1t is very easy to make general state
ments, but they are unjust and contempt
ible- don't know anything about VIVA
may have been the practice heretofore
but you cannot find nicer lot of young
women anywhere than the senate girls.

OMAHA, Neb, Jan. 21-A Chicago
packer here today confirmed the rumor
that Armour is to locate in this city. 1t
has been rumored here for some time
that Armour was trying to buy out
Cudahy, but this is an entirely new ar
rangement
A few years ago Armour sold his inter
est in the Armour Cudahy Packing com
pany to Cudahy, and it was said at that
time he agreed to remain out of the
packing business here for certain time.
That time, it is said, has expired The
outlay will be about $2,0O0,000.
The question is asked, why is it that
Armour has decided to locate at South
Omaha, when the cattle and hog supply
for the next year will be so low that the
houses already here will be compelled to
run light throughout the present season
and far into the next year.
A we'll known man answered the CUES
ton by saying that Armour is going to
build the present season because he can
do SO for less money by several thousand
dollars than he could have ever done SO

The Richest Woman In America Sympa-
thizes With the Strikers.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Hetty Green
the wealthiest and most mysterious
woman in America, seems to have
changed her tactics, and now instead of
fleeing from reporters as birds of evil
omen, she seeks them out and insists
upon presenting her views to the public
through the press. The investigation
into the affairs of the executors of her
fathers estate was up for to-day, but was
postponed for a week. No sooner
had this been done than Hetty
Green made a swoop down upon
a bevy of reporters, and in spite of the
protest of her lawyer she ordered them
to take down her remarks. She said: 81

BILE villains have destroyed a bridge
that spans a certain raging cataract,
knowing that it is the hero's only means
of escape from their clutches, but three
old friends, formerly acrobats in the cir

business to good use. The tallest and
strongest stands on the very brink of the
canon, another acrobat stands on his
shoulders and third on the shoulders of
the second, thus forming a tower some
fifteen or sixteen feet high. The signal
is given, and this column of human be-
ings falls so that the top man grasps a
tree on the other side of the chasm, and
a bridge of bodies is then for med, over
which the hero with his wife and child
pass to the other side in safety.

Senator Dennison said: "Mr. Snow

THE STATE OFFICERS.

1t has always been our hope that
when Utah entered the Union she
would enter it as a Democratic state.
But fate has decreed otherwise. She
will enter as a Republican state. The
people have cast their ballots and de-
cided that our new state shall have
Republican set Of officers.
The gentleman who has been elected
Governor Mr. H. NJ. Wells, was born
and raised in Utah and all his inter-
ests are here. While he has held some
minor offices they were not such as to
determine his fitness for the high office
to which he has been elected, and af-
ford no grounds upon which to base
any opinion as what his career as chief
executive will be. He is a man of the
highest moral character and sterling
integrity. He is a young man whose
political career is before him He will
be a faithful public servant and will
do his duty as he sees it. May it be
given him to see it as a patriot and
not as a partisan.
Mr.. James T. Hammond, elected Sec
born in Utah, and all his interests are
here. He is a gentleman of high char
acter in all respects, and will make a
faithful officer.
Mr.. James Chapman. Treasurer, is
well and favorably known, and is a
leading citizen of Utah county. He
will prove competent officer, as will
also Mr.. Morgan Richards, Jr, elected
Auditor, whose character stands high
in the community where he lives.
Judge A C. Bishop. Attorney-Gene-
raj, is well known in Ogden, where he
was probate judge for number of
years. While he will discharge the du-
ties of his office faithfully and to the
best of his ability, he is noer so strong
a lawyer as the best interests of the
state will demand.
1t is scarcely necessary to speak of
Dr. John r. Park, elected Superintend-
ent of Public instruction. For twenty
five years he has been identified with
the educational interests of Utah, the
greater part of the time as head Of
the University of Utah. He will make
a capable and faithful officer
The members Of the Supreme Court
are already known to the people of
Utah. Judge Zane is the most emf
nent of them, and he alone has had
any national prominence. This is
chiefly owing to the fact that he was
Chief Justice of Utah when Utah af-
fairs were occupying very much of the
attention of the country and the ter
ritory was in a transition period.
Judges Bartch and Miner were his as
sociates in times not so exciting as
when he made his fame. This largely
accounts for his seemingly greater en-
inence. Utah's Supreme Court will
hardly take rank among the first in
the country.
These are our general state officers.
and being such should receive the re-
spect and support of all the people.
They were partisans. before election !:
now they are public servants, and as
