Perjury Charge Against Luke.

The preliminary hearing of James
A. Luke, charged with perjury, was
had before United States Commission
er Sommer yesterday. Assistant Coun-
ty Attorney Harrington and Attorney
D. n. Straup prosecuted and Attorney
Sam Lewis defended. It was charged
on the complaint of James Wright that
Luke, who is an employee of the Mer-
chants Protective association, falsely
swore in Justice Sells court that he
had personally served a summons in a
suit against Wright on a suitable per-
son above the age of IA whom he found
at Wrght's place ON July 20, when in
fact he did not do SO or serve the sum-
mons at all.
Mr.. and Mrs Wright both testified
that they were at home on the day in
question, that they employed no help,
and that the service of the summons
was not made.
Luke testified in his own behalf that
he had served the summons on one of
two boys who were on the premises.
Judgment, he said, was entered in Jus
tfce Sells court and the same was en-
tered up in the Justices record in the
handwriting of Luke and signed by
Justice Sells.
A host of other witnesses were exam
ined with a view of proving that Luke
went to Wright's house on July 20 and
served the summons. Some of them
saw him in the neighborhood and talk
ed with him. The case was proceeding
when court adjourned until 10 o'clock
this morning, when the hearing will
be resumed.

PUSHING THE PRODUCTION.
Three and a Quarter Million Pounds
of Sugar Turned Out at Lehi This
Season.

Down at Lehi the production of SUI
gar is steady and heavy, everything
at the factory of the Utah Sugar COM
pany working with the greatest
smoothness. Up to yesterday morning
the total production for the season was
$3.50, 900 pounds. with every indication
of the total for the season going above
even the estimates made early in the
year. The beets are turning out we'll
in both tonnage and sugar. content.
Trade in sugar continues slow
throughout the entire territory and
from the reports received through the
press dispatches this seems to be the
condition throughout the entire coun-
try. Yet, notwithstanding this partial
stagnation the Sugar company people
are pleased. for their product is equiva-
lent to cash and is always staple. Low
prices and slow trade may continue for
a time, but they always have an end
ing.
This year the sugar company will be
enabled to dispose Of all of its beet
pulp as we'll as its farm products at a
good figure for the fattening of cattle,
a company having been organized by
Salt Lake people to feed in the neigh
borhood Of 1000 head of stock at the
factory this season on the pulp and
hay.

Chief Justice Merritt yesterday hand
ed down his decision in the contempt
proceedings instituted by Colonel
Shaughnessy against David Keith and
Thomas Kearns, president and vice
president of the Silver King Mining
company, for an alleged disobedience
of an order of court requiring the de-
PENDANTS to allow the plaintiff to make
an underground survey of the Silver
King for the purpose Of determining
whether or not the Silver King people
had encroa ched on the Mayfiower
property, owned by the plaintiff, and
extracted 100000 worth of ore there
from His honor held that the de-
PENDANTS were not in contempt, that
their offer to allow the plaintiffs en-
gineer to inspect the workings on the
900 and LOO foot levels and then if it
was found that the workings on those
levels ran towards the Mayfower mine
to allow THE survey to be made, or
that the court appoint a disintereSted
and competent engineer to make the
surveys on those levels, and that such
engineer report the result of the sur
Vey to the judge only, was eminently
fair and reasonable.
The plaintiff was given the choice
as ito whether he would send his own
engineer to inspect or have a disinter-
ested surveyor appointed to make the
survey; in the latter case, his honor
said the parties might agree upon the
person before further action of the
court

Prior to the commencement of active
operations by the Citizens Electric
Light company, it was very generally
understood that there would be prac-
Iically no change in the price of cleo
trio lighting and power to the consum-
ers, but now the announcement has
been made that the rates will come
down and with this announcement
comes the statement that the decrease
will not be small. In fact, it is under
stood that already the two electric light
companies have given cuts and the
race for business, especially that which
now belongs to neither of the concerns,
will be hot and the cuts give promise
of being heavy. Charles Boettcher one
of the heavy owners in the Citizens
company, yesterday stated that previ-
Gus to the advent of his company there
had been no regular schedule and as a
matter of fact, there is none today. But
the Citizens people are here for business
and propose to have it. With this end
in view they propose inaugurating not
only new and more satisfactory light
but also a. new and more satisfactory
schedule of rates satisfactory at least
to the consumer
Speaking of the future intentions of
the company, Mr.. Boettcher stated that
already it was plain to be seen that the
business secured in course of contract
would be materially heavier than an
ticipated and in order to take care of
it in the proper manner the company
had decided to double up on the ca
pacity of the plant and the orders have
been placed for the additional dynamos
and other machinery. There is room
and power ample for the operation of
lust double the number of machines
now in operation at the plant and it
is proposed to utilize both of these.
On account of the rush now attend
ant upon the Inauguration of the COM
mercial system it has been decided by
the Citizens company that work will
not commence upon the extension of
the lines out into the residence por-
ton of the city for something like three
months, so that the people in that dis
trict will not receive the benefits of the
coming reduction in rates, unless the
old company takes the dilemma by
both horns and makes a cut without
pressure AN of the materials for the
residence system have been gathered
together by the Citizens people, with
the exception of the wire, which has
been ordered.
Meanwhile, the Salt Lake & ogden
company is not idle by any manner
of means and the improvements in its
service are being pushed ahead with all
the speed possible. The new dynamos
that have arrived are being placed in
position and the currents generated by
them are to be switched on just as soon
as the machines are in operating order.
Then will follow other changes for the
better, especially in the business sec
ton of the city The board of directors
of the company has fully decided to
meet all competition.
All of these changes for the better
will give the greatest pleasure to the
people of the city and their only hope
is that the improvements in service
and prices will be permanent

NEARING THE FOOT WALL.
That is the Way it LooISs Out ut the

Every indication points to the fact
that the face of the Niagara tunnel
is fast nearing the foot wall of the

is very probable that the tunnel has

CLOSED FOR THE SEASON.
There Will BE no More Work at the
Lead Mill This Year

Operations have been discontinued at
the Lead mill in Bingham, and there is
no prospect of any more work being
done at the plant this year and pro-
badly the cessation Of operations is per
manent. The mill was started up this
time more as an experiment Than other
wise. the purpose being to test some of
the refractory low grade ores from the
Lead mine and the Brooklyn. These
experiments did not result satisfac-
IOrily. for the reason that the saving
of silver was not as high as must be
the case in order for operations to be
profitable and continuous at the WOcks
It s the intention Of the Lead Mine
company and the other owners of the
property to confine their efforts during
The remainder of the year to the de-
Neloprlent Of the Richmond. Under the
order of the court no ore can be taken
from this property. but it is anticipated
that at the hearing set for Saturday
next the injunction viii be dissolved.
The showing in the mine is said to be
strictly first class, new ore bodies hav-
ing been opened up on all sides.

very satisfactory.
Tt has also been decided by the man

the extension of the main line around
TO the town of Mercur, a distance of a
quarter of a mile, and the work has
already commenced. The first section
to be completed will be a switch back
for use in holding cars.
Some idea Of the manner in which the
business of the Camp Floyd district is
increasing may be formed from the
statement made by Manager Jacobs as
follows: During September the road
banded 100000 pounds of freight in
addition to the ore traffic and other
Mercur company shipments. and thus
far in october this record is broken by
some 10000 pounds.

assays upon which the sale was made
gave returns of 1919 ounces in silver,

Not on the List.

A reading of the proposed ordinance
for the undergrounding of wires in the
city discloses the fact that the street
railroads are not included in the list
of companies that must place their
wires under ground within the next
three years if the measure receives ia
vorable action at the hands of the city
council and the mayor This fact gives
a great deal of pleasure to the rail-
road people, who could i'll afford to
underground their system at this time
OF course, there will have to be no
undergrounding outside of the paved
district by any company.
