Troubles Galore.
ANOTHER MEETING CALLED
NO PEACE ON EARTH THIS SEA-
SON.
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Off
Gals in Chicago Summon Passen-
ger Agents to Chicago on Dec. 10

Train TO the East.

The looked-for announcement of a
call for meeting of the general pas

though tickets to Portland, Ore, and
California points are selling at a lower
rate than tickets from Chicago to tho

derstanding of the California situation,
so that means may be adopted of Sc
curing the strict maintenance of all

UNION DEPOT IN HARD LINES
CoUNCILMEN FIGHT SHY OF
FRANCHISE QUESTION.
Another Failure to Hold a Meeting
on Final Report-Intarested Par
ties Are Disappointed.

The second attempt to call the COM
mittee on streets and municipal laws
together to give final consideration to
the union depot franchise question be-
fore reporting to the city council result
ed in failure again last evening. The
number of protestants, owners of prop
erty abutting on Fourth West street
dwindled to two, ]. j. Corum and s. j.
Jenkins, and this fact prompted one
of the councilmen to remark that prob
ably his absent colleagues were waiting
to see all opposition from property
owners withdrawn before facing the
music. After waiting nearly an hour,
the members present concluded that it
would be impossible to muster a quo
rum, and abandoned the meeting.
When Chairman Morris went over to
Attorneys p l.. Williams and Andrew
Howat of the Oregon Short Line and
Rio Grande Western companies. re-
spectively, to tell them of the futility
of getting a quorum, Mr.. Williams,
mingling his look of evaporation with
a tone of good nature, remarked to the
chairman: What does it mean? Do
we have to give up with this coun-
CLIP
Not as for me-" was Chairman Nor
ris' ready response. Il have done all
can to get the committees together.
The matter should be disposed of one
way or another before this council ends

Turning to Attorney James H. Moyle.
who represents the protestants. Mr..
Williams said: IF you get tired COM
ing here for your clients and quit we
won't mind it, because we are nightly
in earnest about getting the union de-
pot started
Don't worry about my fatigue, was
Mr.. Moyle's happy response
AS Mr.. Williams, City Attorney Hall
and E. B. Wicks left the council cham
be-. the former stated to the assem-
bled councilmen that it made no par
ticular difference to the railroad COM
panies if certain councilmen were OPP
posed to granting the franchise. but
they would like to have them act on
the petitions one way or another.
Chairman Morris confessed that the
short time remaining before the end
of the year would make it almost fu-
tile to think of getting the union depot
franchise through this council, even If
there were but slight opposition to the
after six weeks considera-
ton.
1t was agreed. however, that Chair
man Morris should try tonight to again
fix a date of meeting.

COAL SUPPLY IS VERY SHORT
DEALERS HAVE TROUBLE IN
FILLING ORDERS.
Unusual Drafts On the Visible Sup
ply Being Made By Railroads and
Shelters.

The statement by D. " Sharp of the
Pleasant Valley Coal company, to the
effect that there is no danger of coal
famine in Salt Lake is not accepted by
the other dealers of the city. In fact,
a number of them have difficulty now
in having orders filed inside of ten
days or two weeks, and are forced to
ask the Pleasant Valley and other COM
panies that have a surplus on hand to
supply their local customers.
Coal miners are advertised for by al
most every coal mine represented in
Salt Lake, and every mine is having
difficulty in getting out coal to meet
the demand, which was never before
SO great at this time of year. The rail-
roads, fed from the local coal fields,
are consuming, it is said, three times
as much coal as in ordinary times, and
have no surplus ahead. The smelters
and factories are making unusual de-
mands on the coal mines, and the out
side demand is very unusual. Notwith
standing the 1900 or 2,03e tons claimed
to be on hand by the Pleasant Valley
people, the situation is anything but
satisfactory to those conversant with
the facts. .'c

iprocity With States Having Same
Medical Laws.

census of opinion was all one way, and

NOTHING IN 1T.
No Truth In the Report of a Morning
Train From Portland.

Vice President Bancroft of the Short
Line pooh-poohs the idea of a new
morning train over the Railway & Nav
igation line from Portland to the east,
He said yesterday that the Geographic
report sent out from Portland Sunday
night was without foundation. and that
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
wasn't the kind of a road to send out
trainload of passengers for the fun of
unloading them at Huntington without
connections.
Passenger traffic is necessarily light
at this season, and if another train is
TO be put on that will connect with the
through eastern expresses it will neces-
sarily be deferred until next spring
For this reason the Short Line is not
contemplating the addition of another
through train to its schedule

Mccormick will be brought before Judge
Norrell this afternoon and endeavor TO
show good and reasonable cause or the
process will be declared invalid and he
will be returned TO the penitenliary to
complete his sentence.
1t is contended by Mr.. Knox that the
sentence of Mccormick should be de-
clared null and void for the reason that
at the trial the information presented did
not set up facts sufficient TO constitute
a public offense or any crime whatever.

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Bingham Man Will Plead For Judge
Cherry's Leniency Today.


Daniel S. Clays will be on the carpet
this morning before Judge Cherry to
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt in failing to respond
TO an order of the court or rather one of
the courts servants. 1t is thought, how
ever, that the accused will make show
ing which will entitle him to the court s
favorable consideration.

lions by Richard Hartley, referee in sup

session. it is claimed can legally be made

Clays' defense will be that he was not
notified in time to attend before the
referee on the appointed day. and more
over that the sudden illness of the mine

yesterday of the determination of the
Southern Pacific to restore the old
wheat rate of 90 cents per hundred from
Ogden TO the coast. said: This will
be a godsend to the farmers of the
north. The price of wheat has been
miserably low all season and farmers
have been holding their crop for a
raise. The recent action of the South
ern Pacific in doubling coast freight
rates cut them off from the outside
market entirely and threatened them
with serious embarrassments. Now.
under the old rate, shipments can be
made again and furnish an outlet for
the surplus. The old 20-cent rate goes
into effect on the 18th inst
