SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

of questions of interest to farmers in
all sections of the country:
"If this Nation requires for domes-
tic consumption per capita of four
and one-half bushels of wheat, or net
production of s15, OOO, 900 bushels. why
should we produce 600, 1000, 900 bushels
and sell the surplus at a loss?
"Ifa production of 500, 900 900 BUSH
els of corn meets our home require
ments, why should we produce $780,
100000 bushels and sell the surplus at
q loss?
eff our Western agriculturists can
not feed beef cattle at profit, why
should Mexican cattle come into this
country either free or under a tariff?
.s1f the Western farmers are now
growing such excessive crops, WHY
should immigration and settlement of
new lands be continued?
'lf it shall be proved that the excess
product of 7OQ, 900 farmers in our new
country is running $4,000 farmers in
the older states, why should not all
immigration cease until the actual cost
Of their product shall be realized by

average cost may be?

V|N|NG AND TIE
MAYOR CONFER
Talked Over the Subject of
Unused Streetcar
Tracks.
The Position of the City in This
Important Matter Clearly
Defined.
Another Conference to Be Held After
III. Superintendent Has Talked
With Superiors.

at Mayor Phelan's invitation E. P. Vim
ing, general manager OF the Marker-street
Company, called on the City's chief e1-
ecutive yesterday TO discuss the PROPOSE
tion OF ofremoving all of the unused street.
car tracks within the limits of this City.
Mr.. Vining has control OF all of the lines
belonging to the big street railway cor
poration and the majority of the tracks
objected to by the Mayor come under his
supervision. The meeting was in the
nature of a conference to give each side an
idea of the position assumed by the other.
Mayor Phelan told Mr.. Vining very
plainly that as he understood the law the
Market-street Company had no right to
maintain idle tracks that cumb bered the
streets, obstructed traffic and hindered
mitted the company to lay the tracks con-
templated that they should be kept in
active service.
He thought that i! the company was
not going to use the miles of idle tracks,
the location of which had been shown by
the Superintendent of Streets, he should
consent to their abandonment and have
them taken up at once.
Mr.. Vining replied that in large ma
1ority OF cases the company nad no lnten-
lion Of abandoning the right to use tracks,
and intimated that if the City attempted
to cause them to be torn up, as in the
case of Stockton street. the corporation
would take legal means to prevent any
such measures.
He stated, however, that he could give
no decided answer to the requests of the
Mayor until he had consulted the presl-
dent of the company and other officials.
It was arranged that Mayor Phelan
should furnish Mr.. Vining with list of

tions.
Several Large Attachments Placed
on His Store Yesterday-Cred-
itors to Meet.

The financial difficulties of ]. T. Clark,
the furniture and carpet dealer of 1133
Market street, eliminated yesterday in
attachments aggregating several thousand
dollars being placed on his stock by
inpatient creditors, and the indications
are tha he will be forced into insolvency.
Several days ago he was attached for
about $500, but it was not known that he
was in serious straits until yesterday,
when J. ]. Rauer. representing the Provo
Woolenmills, took out second at
tachment for considerable amount.
Within few hours more attachments,
aggregating $1,000. were sued out, and at a
late hour the claim of ]. Baumgartner &
Co. of $1,000 was recorded at the Sheriff 8
office.
Clark's heaviest creditor is said to be
Smith & Co., to whom he owes $4,000. The
total amount of the debts of the concern
Is said to be between 5 II. 900 and $14, 900.
A meeting OF the creditors is to be held
within a few days. when the question of
allowing Clark to continue or winding up
the affairs of the house will be discussed.
Clark claims that slow collections and
business depression are responsible for
his present troubles and that If he is
given time to straighten out his affairs he
will come out all right.
He will have full statement of the
condition of his business ready for the
creditors when they meet. In the mean
time the Sheriff is in charge of the place.

CH|TA WAS ROMANC|NG.
Absurdity of the Sensational
Durrant Fake Exposed by
the Polics
Captain Lees Declares H, DOES Not
Believs the Jackson Woman's
S ory Concerning Ware.

The story that Eugene Ware, the drug
clerk, was murdered by Theodore Dur
rant, was not of sufficient PROBABILITY to
find many believers when it was new, and
now. after its foundation has been COM
pletely annihilated by police investiga-
ton, Captain Lees Is emphatic in bis as
sertion that its reiteration is absurd.
The woman upon whose statement the
Chita Jackson. Her reputation is de-
scribed by the police as unsavory, and
their jud dgmenti is backed up by one or two
incarcerations for minor offenses
Chita Jackson furnished the police
with statement concerning an incident
which she had seen in the ST. Nicholas
Pharmacy the night OF the murder This
statement, which was made shortly after
Wares dead body was discovered, has
nothing in it to point to the completely
of Durrant in the murder. This statement
was to the effect that she had seen a
woman enter the drugstore and speak to
Ware. She referred to some party whom
she promised to shake" The Jackson
woman then saw Wares lady friend leave
the drugstore and meet man who smoke
sharply to her and was answered in kind.
The description she gave OF the man
was that he was 25 or 30 years of age. s
feet inches tall, well built. smooth face;
If mustache, light. Not one of the details
of the desert plion fits Durrant. The de. e.
scription of the woman was equally inap-
plica BILE to Minnie Williams.
Captain Lees had the story of Chita
Jackson thoroughly investigated, ana he
expressed the opinion that not only is the
Durrant theory fallacy, hut that Chita
Jackson in all probability was not near
the pharmacy on the night in question.
