CHICAGO ELEVATED RAILROAD.
Farmers Loan & Trust Company Re
moved as Cotrustees.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE appellate court
of the state of Illinois has affirmed the
decree of the superior court of Cook
county removing the Farmers Loan
and Trust company from the position
of co-trustee of the Lake Street Ele-
waited railroad first mortgage, and in
doing so it has rendered a decision of
the greatest Importance, both TO local
trust comDanies and the trust COM
panies of other states doing business in
this state.
The superior court some time ago
removed the Farmers Loan and Trust
company IS Trustee under the Lake
street mort gage. and the New York
Trust company appealed the case. Jus
tice Waterman of the appellate court
has now delivered a decision, Presiding
Justice Shepard and Justice Gary con-
curing, which not only affirms the de-
cree removing the Farmers Loan and
Trust company, but which will act
to prevent trust companies organized
in other states from accepting trustee
ships in this state, and will force a
rearrangement Of many trusteeships
under mortgages already in force.
The decision holds that an outside
trust company must deposit 5000, 600
with the Illinois state auditor in the
same manner as Illinois trust COM
panies are compelled TO do. and failure
to do that makes them liable TO re-
moval. The eastern trust companies
are not likely to comply with this Tul-
ing. They declare if they should de-
posit 100000 with the state auditor of
Illinois. half OF the other states in the
Union would pass legislation compell-
ing them to make similar deposits, and
that would be impracticable.

WILL DRAFT A NEW BOND.
CITY ATTORNEY so INSTRUCT
ED BY FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Doubtful if it Will Be Such as
Treasurer Mays Sureties Will
Sign-Majority of the City Coun-
Gil Are With May.

The finance committee held an ex-
ecutive session in the mayors Office
last night and considered City Treas
urer Mays new bond. The proceedings
lasted for over an hour and the only
information given out was that the city
attorney had been requested to draft
new bond. This means that the one
previously signed and submitted to the
council last Tuesday night will not be
accepted.
When asked what the provisions Of
the new bond would be, City Attorney
Mckay would not say anything defin-
itely. except that it would be substan-
TALLY the same as the original draft
submitted to the treasurer for sigma
ture, but was changed by the attorneys
of the sureties. In other words, the
council viii lcompel Mr.. May TO give
bond which provides that he must at
once turn over to the city all moneys
collected by him or by his agents.
This is exactly what MeSSrS. Dolly
and Mccormick object to. They are
willing to sign a bond covering every
transaction from the time of its aD-
prevail, but are unwilling to go on
bond that will compel the treasurer to
at once pay over the money lost in the
now seeking to escape paying
1t is stated authoritatively that
neither Mr.. Mccormick nor Mr.. Dolly
will subscribe to a bond with any such
provisions. Now if the council insists
upon the new form of bond. there is
liable to be a clash, and it is not at
all improbable in such an event that
an effort to remove Mr.. May will be
made. But such a move will not suc->
ceed for the majority of the council
members will stand by the treasurer
who, they claim. has been unfortunate
and in reality is not. TO blame for the
trouble which the failure of the bank
caused.
It takes ten members to remove an
official, anyway, and the same number
to elect. 1t would be impossible to
unite ten members of the present city
council on any proposition, to say moth
ing of removing city official who is
to his duties faithfully and
hOneStly

LOOMS STILL SILENT
Provo Wooden rIiIIs Difficulty Not
Yet Settled.
STRIKERS STILL HOLD OUT FOR
HALF CASH.
Unless a Settlement Is Soon Made,
IT Will Necessitate the Cancelling
of Heavy orders-A Conference
Will Be Held Today.

Provo, Feb. 1.-The looms and spin
dies of the Provo wooden mills are not
making their customary music and 40
men and women are holding consulta-
ton with one another and trying to
prevail upon the board of directors and
management of that corporation to
grant them one-half cash in payment
for services. Unless there is a settle
ment made between the strikers and
employers within a day or two there
viii be a cancellation of orders amount
ing to many thousands of dollars.
It-was decided by the employers to-
day that a conference be held with
Manager Smoot and the board of di-
rectors on Friday. From remarks
gathered from the hands it looks as If
they were determined not 10 resume
work unless they are granted one-hal1
their wages in cash.
An offer of one-third cash in lieu OF
one-fourth has been made the strikers,
but this does not come up to what
they desire. 1t will, however, be put
to a vote tomorrow as to whether or
not they accept this offer. Several OF
the married hands are willing that this
be accepted, but the majority are for
sticking for one-half cash.

the sum of $3.50 from w. c. Burrows,
alleged to be due on promissory note.
Despite the fact that the use of scrip
is Objectionable to almost every COM
munity, the majority of the people of
Provo deplore the shutting down of
the Provo wooden mills, as it will stop
from circulation about $4,000, which
amount they pay in wages.

INTEREST IN LII.
1T IS GROWING DAILY AT THE
CAPITAL.
A Belief That She Will Ask McKin-
ley to Aid Her to Regain Her
Throne.

New York, Feb. ia Sun special
from Washington says:
Liliuokalani, the deposed queen of
Hawaii, who has been suffering with
the grippe for the past few days, is
now conValescent. She is feeling bet
ter than for six days previous Today,
if the weather is clear, and she is in
good spirits, the CNpitol will be visited.
For the past ten days her majesty
has been planning to see the building
the people who make them, but for
one reason or another she has failed
to carry out her purpose.
The usual number of callers came to
see her majesty yesterday. 1t is sur
prising to see what an interest the
people of the country have in this
woman. Not a day passes that she
does not receive at least half a dozen
invitations to attend some social func-
ton, but she has not as yet accepted
any of the proffered hospitality As
the days pass and no sign of her quit
ting the capital city appears. the be-
lief grows that she is here for a po-
litical purpose, but just what it is. no
one seems to know. The talk most
INDUCED in last night was that she is
trying to secure assistance from the
present incoming administration to re-
place her on the Hawaiian throne.

Half Cents Per Pound.

Washington, Feb. IA further con-
sideration of the iron and steel sched-
ule was had this morning by the Re
publican members of the ways and
means committee. The chairman laid
before the members a letter from the
treasury department, suggesting that
a provision be inserted in the new bill
permitting ores containing lead to en-
ter the country in bond and to be
assayed at the nearest assay office to
the point of destination, instead of COL
Letting the duty at the port of entry.
The suggestion was adopted and the

foregoing the rate was made specific
and substantially the same duty was
imposed as now exists.

THE DEEP CREEK STORY.
Rio Grande Western Officials Make
an Emphatic Denial.

The story current the past few days
and given in yesterdays Herald to the
effect that the Rio Grande Western
contemplated extending into the Deep
Creek country, was emphatically de-
MED by the local officials, who say
they have no knowledge of such in
tention.
The gentlemen who gave the infor-
nation to The Herald still assert that
there is good ground for it, however
much the other side may seek to belit
tie it. 1t is certain that Mr.. BabcocS
did not make a visit east in the in
terests of the extension, and it may
be that there are no rails along the
line, but the story, which was simply
given for what it was worth, does cot
rest at all on these details, which alS
wholly immaterial if the Western re-
ally intends to make the extension.
The most singular thing in connection
with it all is that if the statement
made by those who gave out the in
formation is absurd, it should create
such a fiutter in certain quarters.
