Democratic Registrars for ALI
Districts Except One.
ACTION TAKEN BY THE COUNTY
COMMITTEE YESTERDAY.
The Old Agents Removed and New
Ones Will Be Selected Today in
Accordance with the New Election
Law-The Merchants License
Routine Business Disposed Of.

Democratic registration agents will
prepare for tire approaching municipal
election in Salt Lake City, the sole ex-
ception being with reference to the
Fiftieth election district, which, will
have a Republican registrar. That was
the action determined upon at yester-
days meeting of the county commits
stoners. AS a preliminary the board
removed all the registration agents ap-
pointed ON a Republican basis last year
and at this afternoo meeting will
name the new ones On from Democratic
ranks in accordance with the terms Of
the new election law.
The subject was brought to the
boards attention when County Clerk
Dunbar read his report showing about
% vacancies existing ON account of
deaths, removals and designations.
CfqsGrTnan Armstrong was the first
to express himself. Heretofore he wax
inclined to favor the retention Of all
the qualified registrars, but inasmuch
as there were so many vacancies to fill
ne now believed that the safe legal
way to solve what has appeared a
knotty problem would be to "clean the
platter and appoint a new outfit.
Commissioner RaWlins, who has de-
clared for a complete change nearly
every time the subject has been up for
consideration, concurred with the
chairman's views.
Commissioner Hall has all along
maintained divergent ideas as to the
registrars tenure of Office, but he took
occasion to say that while he was
doubtful about the proposed course be
ing the proper one he would asquiiesce
in the county attorneys opinion and
vote with the majority of the board,
believing that in so doing it would les
sen the chances of mistakes and the
possibility of a contest after the cleo
ton.

A SHERIFF HIDES.
The urbana Officer FIees from the
Angry People.
A MOB WANTED TO GET HIM.
The Citizens Insist That Sheriff McLain
Should Have Refrained from Ordering
Out the Troops-Ehat the Mayor
of Urbana Says.

COLUMBUS. O., June GA special to
the Dispatch from Urbana says that
the town this morning has resumed its
normal condition and everything is
quiet. Instead of a negro dangling
from a tree on the most prominent
street corner, an excited populace
thronging the streets. military and
a sheriff hiding in the county Jail, a
sheriff is fleeing. a captain of militia
cannot be found and members of mil
itary company are keeping out of sight.
Nothing is positively known of the
whereabouts of Sheriff McLain and
Capt. Leonard. It is the general belief
that the sheriff drove to Springfield,
and only Capt Leonard's immediate
friends know where the captain is.
1t was reported last evening that a
mob OF $50 men had organized to go to
Springfield after the sheriff, and such
word went to Springfield, having the
effect of driving him to Dayton. He is
universally condemned by the people
and held responsible for the shooting
of citizens by the militia. The citi-
zens insist that he should have re-
Trained from ordering out the troops.
The governor said the sheriff did not
inform him of the existing trouble un-
the thing had been brewing several
days. He had been assured by ali
classes of people in Urbana that the
sheriff did all that could have been
done under the circumstances. Adjt--
Gen. AXline said the mayor of Urbana
had telephoned him that the governor
and troops were in no way to blame;
they did all they could. ''If. there is
anyone to blame it is myself and the
sheriff, and so far as / am concerned, /
am perfectly willing to take my share
of the blame" The mayor further
said there was ample provocation for
the firing of the militia at 2:3O o'clock,
and he did not blame them for doing
their duty. The sheriff, he said, did
not manage things right. and did not
seem to appreciate the gravity of the
situation until it was too late to avoid
the lynching without an lawful sacri-
fee of human life
A special from Dayton, O.. says:
Sheriff McLain, of Urbana, arrived in
Dayton at eight o'clock last night and
was quietly conveyed to the home of
his brother-in-1aw. Great effort
was made to keep the presence
of the sheriff in this city
secret and even after it became
known that he was here it was with
great difficulty that he was located.
He explained his secrecy was to avoid
in terviews- but said he had left Ur-
bana at the solicitation of friends, who
feared for his safety, and that, while
he had no fear. he deferred to their
wishes in the matter.

WASHINGTON, June Con the open

transmitting letter from the minister
of Austria Hungary, protesting in be-
half of his government agai nst the dis
Grimm atoms of the sugar schedule in
the pending tariff bill against boun-

referred to the finance committee.
At 1915 the consideration of the
tariff bill was resumed. The first para
graph of the wood schedule relating to
hewn timber, etc, was agreed to at
IL cents per cubic foot, the new rate
proposed by the committee. Mr..
Bacon made vigorous response to an
attack by Mr.. Vest on the lum-
Der schedule, especially the white
pine rates which the Missouri senator
characterized as the most indefensible
part of the bill. Mr.. Bacon resented
the characterization as unjust, saying
the average rate of the schedule was
20 per cent and that he would support

No Water TO Put In Them.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-. June 6--West-
port has a fine new system of water
mains, but it has no water to put in
them 1t has fire department. effec-
tive enough to cope with an ordinary
blaze If 1t had water. 1t also has a
sewer system, arranged on the flush
tank plan, bnt there is no water in the
flush tanks. Some time ago Westport
voted Sra, 900 in bonds to bnild water
works The Westport aldermen knew
they could not build complete water
works system for that amount, but
they depended on the magnanimity of
Kansas City to furnish water after
they laid the mains. They did not
even go to the trouble OF making a
contract with Kansas City for water
before these mains were laid Kansas
City aldermen are in no hurry to give
the water. They say Westport al
ready owes Kansas City several thou
sand dollars for water and there is no
prospect of collecting the bill They
argue further that Westport will never
annex to Kansas City as long as the
town can get water.

farm wagon on country roads in this
vicinity. Its principal object will be
that of marketing crops, garden truck,
poultry and the products of the dairy.
The plan was suggested by an enter

ago wearied of hauling grain from
his farm over the rough roads to the
nearest railway station. The plan is
being seriously considered by local
business men, with the probability
that it may be tried within the next
year. The road. if built, will be a
