The object of the meeting was to take
measures to prevent the abuse of the bene-
fits of the hospital and the dispensary at
tached thereto. which Is said to have been
very great in the past. The meeting was
called for the purpose Of listening to the
propositions of Superintendent Wilson re-
garding the assistance the Associated Char-
tiles could lend in the direction Of ascer-
tanning the worthiness Of applicants at the
no spital for the relief they requested
The custom i'll the past at the institution
has been TO treat all applicants who rep
res ented themselves needy ana TO lur
nish them free with medicines prescribed
in their cases. There was no certain way
of finding out whether such applicants were
really deserving or not. and the personal
appearance of many Of those who applied
for tiispensary relief indicated that they
were well able to pay for the services Oh
physicians and tie necessary medicines
With a view to preventing further lmpo-
sition the hospital authorities looked about
worthiness of applicants and Superinten,

This afternoon MIR. Wilson explained his
plan to the hospital committee 1t was. IN
brief. that the hospital should treat all
applicants as they desired. the first visit
they made to the institution, and 1T the
same time take their names and addresses
and forward the same to the Associated
Charities. An veS.igation would then he
made by the agents Of the Associated Char

plicants, and report thereon Ice made 10
the hospital authorities. no recommenda-
ton would accompany these reports. me
plain statement of the facts in the case OF
each applicant would he made. and the
hospital authorities would be at liberty.
of course, to arrive 1T their own conclu-
sions regarding the worthiness OF the ap-
plicants This would be done. said Mr.
Wilson, without expense to the hospital.
Superintendent Tracey also offered to Iii
vestigate through the police. the condition
of such applicants as were re ported 10

ROOSEVELT STRIKES BACK.
Says the Raines Law and Not the
Police Is to Blame.

Says the Raines Law and Not the
Police Is to Blame.
NEW YORK. November 24.-President
Roosevelt and Major Andrews of the police
commission take Indignant exception to
statement made by Senator Raines, author
of the excise law generally known by his
name. that thousands of saloons in this
city We're doing business If violation of the
law and under the protection of the police
some one else high in authority.
Mr.. Roosevelt said today:
MIR. RaineS would have spoken more ac-
curately If he had said that they were evad-
ing the law under his own protection, for
the evasion can be made only because of
defects in the law obvious that at the
time of its passage many people regarded
them, as Intentional. The police are in no
way to blame. Doubtless there are occa-
sional places that run without a license.
II there are any number of these places
then the police and Mr.. Raines' own excise
law inspectors would be equally to blame
and the board will promptly punish any
police captain in whose precinct any con-
sideab!e number of such v.olators may be
shown to be doing business but the main
and practically the entire trouble arises
from the 'Raines hotel and Xsaines club ;
which are able to do business because
law or because of the way IN which the
juries treat these violations In the light
OF the law.
There are some excellent features in the
Raines law, but no care whatever was
made to define and limit the word meal
and the courts and juries have held re-
peatedly that under the present law a meal
may mean anything from q hard-boiled egg
to a sandwich. Moreover. the size of the
penalty prescribed renders it difficult 20
get a conviction. because of the reluctance
of juries to convict if they regard the PEN
atty excessive.
LAS for the alleged blacknail / do not
fer moment believe it, and / think the
charge to which Senator Raines has given
publicity. he has based on mere idle ru-
NOR. and If I did not believe it to be so
based 1 should denounce 1t as being put
forth to cover the failures caused By the
way in which Senator Raines drew his bill.
The liquor sellers do not have to pay black
mail now. for Senator Raines has given
them the very privileges for which they
used to pay.

LONDON, November 24.-When the tria,

Earl Russell was the first witness today
and he emphatically denied the allegation
of misconduct.
The court was crowded to suffocat:on
The earl described from his diary and log
book the incidents of the voyage of hi
yacht Royal, on board of which most of
the offenses are alleged to have occurred.
his evidence tending to show that it was
impossible for them to have taken placs
on the dates mentioned.
After Earl Russell had been on the wit
ness stand for a couple of hours Marshal!
Hall. counsel for the male defendants, ap-
piled for permission to alter the dates In
the plea of justification his clients had
made.
The offenses charged by the defendants
against Earl Russell are said to have been
committed early the summer OF 1857.
during which time his lordsnip made sew
ira! cruises in the Royal a small steam
yacht kast was employed on the yacht as
cabin hoy. but is said to have been dis
missed because the performance of his du-
Ties vas not to the satisfaction of the earl
Cockerton was the same time employed as
second engineer of the Royal, and William
Aylott succeeded KaSt as cabin boy, and
was afterward for some time in the employ
of Earl Russell at Teddington.
Mr. Halls application for permission to
alter the dates in the plea of justification
brought on a sharp alteration with the
bench. during which Justice Hawkins holly
charged Mr.. Hall with being disrespectful
TO him, and with insulting Sir Frank Lock-
wood. q. c., counsel for the earl.
Mr.. Hall thereupon apologized, and the
incident was closed by the justice stating
that any alteration of the dates in the plea
Of Mr.. Halls clients would have to be sup
ported by the strongest affidavits.
Later Earl Russell recounted the Incl
dents of his marriage, and his meeting
with H. A Roberts, master Of Bath Col
lege. with whom he was charged with i'm
morality in mis- wife's suit for a separation
in 1891. Sir Frank Lockwood explaining
that Mr.. Roberts had since obtained dam
ages to the amount of f3,0D against Coun-
tess Russell for libel IN the charges made.
Sir Lockwood also said that Mr. Robert
was not concerned in the present suit,
which was necessitated by the terms OF
the alleged libelous words: I'VE are pre-
pared to prove that everything that has
been dragged ont of Lady Russell in regard
to her husbands immortality Is true" which
appear in the document circulated by Lady
Scott and signed by the three male de-
PENDANTS.
The case adjourned until tomorrow.

NOTICE is hereby given that on
Monday the 24th day of August, A.
d., 1896, the County Court of
Washington County, State of Utah,
will consider the advisability of con-
solidating and uniting the duties of
certain officers within and for said
County, said consolidation to take
effect from and after the First day
of January, A. d., 1897.
Recommendations and sugges-
tons in regard to said consolida-
tons in the interest of economy,
keeping in view the efficient admin
istration of the County Officers, will
be gladly received by the Commits

BY order of the County Court,
Seth A. Pymm,
County Clerk. )"
Some one who was anxious to
make recommendation" attached
thereto the following:
''In the interest of economy" the
said Commission will first suggest a
grand reduction of their own ndi-
vidual salaries "to lake effect" i'm
mediately."
If the salararies of our various Of
ficers can be computed to aggregate
an income that will favorably com
pare with that received by those en-
ptoyed in the various branches Of
industry, it will be more equitable
and economical for the people.
We are not in favor of any officer
of the County or State receiving
more than five dollars per day, for
actual services rendered, and where
salaried officers receive more than
that amount, per day, we think in all
honor that it would be just and equi-
table for such officers, if any there
be, to refuse to receive more than an
equitable compensation for services
rendered.

Recorder and Clerks Would it not

Of Elders called to go on missions

among the latter was your humble

Reaching Calls Fort, in BoxElder

number the cattle, GOO head, and
while doing so, Captain Hooper
was struck in the side by an OK,
breaking a rib, which was heard
to snap by several Of the boys,
but by the prayer Of faith by lay
ing on Of hands he was soon made
easy.
While here, some Of the BOYS
while at play in the tent broke
one of the tent poles, and the
handle off frying pan; one
fellow was accidently stabbed in
the leg wife pair scissors. For
this Captain Hooper gave to them
sharp rebuke for their rudeness.
In the evening the captain called
us together and told us that
Bishop Smith Of Centerville would
take charge of the heard and be
our Captain and for us to obey
and respect him accordingly. He
exhorted us to live our religion
and be good boys, have our little
meetings, etc.

morning each man was furnished
