VALIDITY QUESTIONED.
Claim Made That the Recent Adop-

ton Of Text Books Was Illegal.
The validity of the contracts secured
by the various publishing firms for
supplying BOOKS TO Utah schools is be-
ing question on the ground that the
law delegating the power TO boards of
education of cities and to the conven-
ton of county superirtendents and
others is in conflict with the SAFE con-
stitution. The particular passage in
the constitution says: ~
Neither the legislature nor the state
board OF education shall have the power
to prescribe text books TO be used in
the common schools"
Certain Ogden attorneys maintain
that as the legislature was prohibited
from deciding this matter Itself il is.
therefore, prohibited from providing
how it shall be decided. The school law
thus attacked was passed by the leg
i5lature of 1897 and provides that
boards of education in cities may de-
ternine what books shall be used in
such cities. and that convention
composed principally of the county
superintendent should meet and select
books for the other portions of the
state.
At least one firm of Ogden attorneys
has been looking UP all the statutes
bearing on the case, and several at
tOrneys taink that the law conflicts
with the constitution.
On the other hand, other attorneys
claim that the Legislature acted entire
~ within its powers. They cite as a
parallel case that while the legislature
cannot grant DEGREES of divorce. 1t can
delegate that power to courts.
There is an impression abroad that
the disappointed bookmen are the ones
instrumental in stirring up the sub
ject.

MATE WASN'T GUILTY.
Court Decides Carter Gave Her Money
For Her Own Use.

Mate Martin, woman charged with
ernbezzling $40, the property of Willard
Carter, had a hearing yesterday before
Justice Stewart. Carter said that the
defendant had appropriated to her own
use $40 belonging to him which she
held as bailee.
The woman testified that she had
worked for Carter during his wife's
absence and that he had Illegal inter
course with her twice before she re-
ceived the money and once later
When he paid her the money his lit
tie son was present, and, presumably,
as a blind. Carter said: Give this
money to Mrs. Bradshaw to give to
my wife, At the same time he winked
at her and she thought she understood.
She testified that Carter had brought
lewd women into his house also during
his wife's absence.
Carter stated that he was innocent OF
improper relations with the woman. but
admitted bringing the women referred
to with their companions into his
house, where they drank beer together.
Justice Stewart believed that the
money had been promised and paid
over to the defendant for herself and
by using it she was not enbezzling,
and therefore discharged her and or
dered Carter to pay the costs.

Suspected Murderer Under Arrests
Wanted in Missouri

w dQCeO III missouri.
Heber, Utah, June 15.-Sheriff Muir
dock received a telegram Sunday after
noon from Sheriff Crockett of Kingston,
Mo-, to arrest John Mclaughlin, who
was thought to be in Heber City, Utah,
and was wanted for numbering a man
in Kingston, Missouri The description
of the man wanted corresponds pretty
closely with man who came here
about two weeks ago and has been
working for T. o. Buell. and going by
the name of ]. J. Lonis. Ever since
Lonis has been here Sheriff Murdoch
has kept his searching eye upon him,
there being something in his appear
ance and actions which created a feel
ing of suspicion in the mind of the
sheriff.
Since the arrest it is rumored Lonis
has been identified by persons who
knew him in Missouri but not by the
name he is going by here, but by the
name of John Mclaughlin.
Sheriff Crockett has wired Sheriff
Murdoch that he has started for Utah
with necessary papers for his man.

AT LEHI.
Ord Brothers Clothing Store Burglar
ized-Other Notes.

Lehi City, Utah, June 16.-Ord Broth
ers' clothing store was entered by bur-
glars last night and about 5000 worth of
clothing and jewelry stolen. The
thieves gained an entrance by prying
one of the windows up. In addition to
the clothing and jewelry taken the cash
drawer wes rified OF its contents,
amount to 81 or SO in change. The
clothing taken consisted of mems and
boys suits, hats, shoes and shirts.
When Mr.. Ord came up town this
morning to open up as usual he found
his stock in trade strewn around in the
utmost confusion. He soon discovered
what had taken place and Immediately
notified Marshal Thomas, who began a
systematic search OF the neighborhood
for some trace of the thieves. Deputy
SheriffS Watkins and Henry are also
in town working on the case. Had the
city fathers been guided by business
instead of sympathy in selecting a
night Waterman, it is JUS possible that
this last robbery could have been pre-
vented.
