A oHARGE REFUTED.

In referring to the report published ex-
clusively in The Herald yesterday, of
the charges against Principal Doxey,
the Evening Press of last night makes
an error. 1t says, 1.-The Salt Lake Her
cid diSregarding all etiquette, published
a garbled report of the proceedings"
The Salt Lake Herald did nothing Of
the kind. It published what its reporter
learned from entirely other sources. The
reporter got nothing from the board or
any of it's officers. Members of the press
were excluded, and the reporter sought
other sources. What he obtained was in
and no etiquette was diSregarded. He
to make none. He has no apology to
make or excuses to offer. No statement
was made for which there was not the
authority claimed for it.
The Press says the facts were known
in that Office for a week. but it did not
choose to publish them till the matter had
been thoroughly sifted. The facts wGg1
thoroughly sifted. The Sitting concluded
about 1915, and The Herald's report was
not sent till after that time. A member
of the board of education told the re-
porter yesterday that The Herald's ar
tiele contained no statement that was
incorrect, the Standards intimation of
last night Notwithstanding. There were
at least fifty reputable citizens about the
Utah Loan and Trust building Tuesday
night who were intensely interested in
the proceedings. In such cases The Her
aid does not wait till Fridayi

ANTI-TRAMP.
Resolutions Presented at the Con-
vention Mt FOn Du Lac, Wis.

Resolutions Presented at the Con-
vention at FOn Du Lac, Wis.
FoN DU LAC, Wis, Feb. 26.-At the
anti-tramp convention the following re-
port of the ways and means committee
was adopted:
"The experience of the various local
tiles represented in the convention
shows that while some of the tramps
would be honest laboring men if they
had the opportunity, the larger por-
ton Of them are determined to live
on the public without work; that
tramps as whole are a nuisance and
a danger to private families, q need
less expense to the public, and a means
of corruption to public officers. The
experience shows that comparatively
little has been done to remedy the
tramp either by private individuals or
organizations; that the enormous and
unnecessary bills against the counties
rolled up by officers in tramp cases by
means of the fee system can be largely
prevented by faithful and courageous
county boards, and that the proper use
of the workhouse Will krive away
tramps from that locality. AS the re-
suit of the experience and the discus
sions we have not settled all parts of
the tramp question. but we have agreed
ON the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the system of re-
munerating public officers for public
services by fees should be abolished.
Resolved, That the Worhhouse or
some other judicious system of labor
for prisoners, including tramps, Should
be universally adopted.
Resolved, That other methods of
meeting the tramp evil, including meth
DDS of prevention as well as of correc-
ton, deserve the careful consideration
of this conference at future meetings
And we urge all city and county au-
thorities and philanthropic individuals
TO carefully investigate the many in
teresting experiments which have been
made with the tramp problem in vari-
Gus places, among which we especially
name the Brown county workhouse, the
Dane county jail, and the rescue mis-
sion of Milwaukee; also the provident
wood yards in many cities and the
work of the Anti-Tramp society of Ann
Arbor, Mich. And we recommend the
methods Of the latter society for adop-
ton in all cities of moderate SIZE

Provo Points.

PROVO, Feb. 26.-The board of edu-
cation met last evening in regular ses-
sion and heard reports of committees
and appropriated bills for coal and
other running expenses. The commit

on the cost and advisability of build
ing additional room on TO the First
ward school. Plans and specifications
from the architects were submitted
and the matter went over for future
consideration. The bond of 5. Il. Mar
Gin of Swazey & Martin, bankers, was
approved as treasurer.
1t is reliably reported that the old
demented man who roams around the
country ana at present is in this city,
as in the habit Of accosting little girls
on uhe street and making indecent pro
posals TO them. His latest vile act was
TO stop a 10-year-old child Of a Fourth
ward citizen and make proposals The
child became frightened and ran away
and reported the occurrence to her
mother. If this continues it Will be
necessary TO put him where it viii be
impossible TO do any harm. The asy-
1um is the proper place for the man.
The ladies of the Second ward gave
ball last evening. A number of
prizes were awarded and a very en-
Joyable time was had by those present.

THAT BIG TRAIN.

The people of ogden, to whom big
trains are by no means a novelty, are
not yet through talking about the lat
est effort of the Cooperative Wagon
and Machine company-the largest con-
signment of freight ever brought west
by one f1rm-a train of forty cars
loaded with agricultural implements to
he used in the great west, which the
people of the east are inclined to look
upon as a region uninviting, to say the
least. That the train, from the time
it left De Kalb, ILL.,, until it reached
Ogden, was an object of interest, goes
without saving. At every stop, whether
at station, water tank or crossing, PEG
ole thronged about it and wondered at
the enterprise of the people of that por-
ton of the west which is yet represen--
ted on many maps as the Great
American Desert" The train made
only daylight runs. 1t was great ad.
for the new state.

The ACCESSIBILITY of purchasing water
shares for the city was recommended
by Councillor Pace.
Thomas H. Wilson, ST., was made
city attorney for Payson City.
George A. Peery and Henry Nebeker
were appointed policemen.
The city estray pound was located
at the corral and barn on the premises
Of Charles Long on d street for one
year to come.
A bill was introduced preventing
minors from lettering about streets,
byways and public places after certain
hours.
Payson people presented long pc
tition to the council asking for cur
few ordinance to be esta blished. So
far Payson has had no need for such
law.
1t seems because other towns of like
proportions have placed restrictions on
the youth that we must follow their
example, but it is really disgraceful to
have parental control lost so far as to
call upon public officers to render such
assistance to keep our youngsters
from committing mischievous pranks
or depredations after dark. 1t is the
duty of parents to see where their
offspring spend their time, and make
home pleasant and keep them inter
ested, SO no other place or company
is preferable to it anywhere in any
season of the year. Perhaps when the
law is tried it may become tiresome
thing and dead letter, as is usually
the case in some towns where it has
been put in force. Boys will try other
schemes. other plans will be INDUCED
in, to evade the watchers of the streets.
so when the "curfew belP' is rung they
will hide and perhaps run outside of
the city limits to have fun, as they
say.

IMPORTANT RULING.
Opinion of Judge RoIapp Affecting
Rights to Hold ONCE.
Ogden. February q.

The celebrated case Of the state VS..
Beardsley, involving the right of one in
cumbent of an Office to hold over until
his successor has qualified and also the
question as to whether the confirmation
of a nominee OF the mayor by the city
council is absolutely essential to the COM
plete qualification of that officer was
decided in a great measure yesterday by
Judge Rolapp The case came up for
hearing on the demurrer of the defendant
Beardsley, to the complaint. 1t practic-
ally vacates the office Of auditor, leay-
ing it incumbent on Beardsley to estab-
lish his claim The judge says in conclu-
sion:
In view of what have already stated
as my ideas of the action here brought,
it is clear that the only parties concern
ed in this action are, the state on one
side, and the respondent Beardsley on
the other: and, incidentally, the right of
the relator, which may or may not be
prosecuted to Judgment. No other par
ties can possibly be interested in these
proceedings. No attempt is made to show
by this complaint that any of the MEM
bers OF the city council are usurping the
office in question, nor that they claim 1t,
and that is all that can be determined in
this action. 1t matters not how disgrace
full their action may have been, nor how
distasteful their statements are to the
people whom they serve, and while they
may possibly be proceeded against in
some other action, it is quite clear that
they cannot be joined as parties in this
action; and therefore the demurrer ON
behalf of the defendants other than the
defendant Beardsley must be sustained,
and the writ dismissed as to them. For
the same reason, think that the motion
to strike out must be granted, because
the matter stated in the particular para
graphs complained of clearly do not tend
either to show that the respondent
Beardsley wrongfully usurps or exercises
the Office of auditor; nor does it tend to
amplify the statement showing the rela-
tors right to the Office in question
The order will be that the writ be dis
missed as to all of the defendants eX-
cept the defendant Beardsley; that the
motion to strike out be granted; and
that the demurrer be overruled as to the
defendant Beardsley.
