TO CHANGE PRESIDENTS.
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Has Clashing Interests.

New York, Sept 1S.-A special to the
Times from New Haven, Conn, says;
The matter of choosing a successor to
President Clark of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford road is now in the
hands of the standing committee, con-
sisting of President Clark Vice Presi-
dent John Hall. William Rockefeller,
]. Pierpont Morgan of New York;
George ]. Brush of New Haven, Henry
c. Robinson of Hartford, Charles F.
Choate of Boston ana w. D. Bishop OF
Bridgeport.
The appointment of a successor will
be A satisfactory one to both President
Clark and the New York interests.
There is now no friction between. what
have been styled the Clark and the
Vanderbilt party in the directorate, and
there Will be no difficulty, it is said, in
choosing the man for the place. This
may be the present vice president of
the road, Judge John Hall, or it may
be General Manager Chamberlain, or
one of numerous railroad men, among
whom are President c. 5. Mellen Of the
Northern Pacific, who was at one time
vice president of the New Haven road,
and would like to return as its presi-
dent: President Lucius futile of the
Boston & Maine, or a man more closely
interested in the New York Central
than either Of these.
a prominent stockholder of the road
il this city is authority for the state
ment that Mr. Clark's withdrawal
means the absorption of the New
Haven road by the Vanderbilt system.
and that developments in the director
ate in the near future will prove this
beyond a doubt
Cornelius Vanderbilt owned upwards
of 100000 of the stock of the road, and
the repassing of this great interest into
the Vanderbilt family means, il is said
a closer relation between the Wander
bilt system and the New Haven prop
erty. However true this may be. ii is
certain that interesting developments
are looked to here in the immediate
future by New Haven road stockhold-
ers, and sweeping changes in the make
up OF the directors would not be a sur
prise to any one.
1t is believed here that the day Of
New England control of the New
Haven road will pass away with Mr.
Clark's retirement, and that that con-
trcl viii certainly go to New York

WOMAN ABUSES Mr. RINLINS
MISS CLARK ACCUSES HIM OF
RoBBING HER.
Dissatisfied Because She Could Not
Get the Taxes On Her Property
Abated.

Miss Miriam Clark. an aged spinster,
created u scene at yesterdays session
of the board of county commissioners.
Bishop Rawlins was the special object
of Miss Clark's wrath She has been
trying to get the chairman to knock
off part of the taxes on her property,
which is assessed at s., 800.
Bishop Rawlins wouldn't consent to
assist in any such proceeding and Miss
Clark made things mighty interesting
for few minutes. II call down the
wrath of God on your head. she said
dramatically. You are robbing a
defenseless and helpless old woman and
you are a bad man
The commissioners allowed Miss
Clark 10 talk herself into a, state of
collapse. 1t was the only rational
thing to do for none OF them had any
desire TO have her elected from the
room. This action would certainly have
been taken had she been a man.
After the meeting, Bishop Rawlins
said he didn't quite understand why
Miss Clark singled him out for her
Irish blessings. He didn't have power
to abate her taxes and if the other
commissioners wanted to do so he
couldn't prevent them.

BANKRUPTCY DECISIONS.
Important Questions Decided By
Judge Marshall Yesterday.

Judge Marshall yesterday handed
down an opinion relative to bankruptcy
matters The opinion had special ref
erence to three questions which had
arisen in the case of Alexander L.
Wyatt, bankrupt. Mr.. Wyatt was ad-
judged a bankrupt Feb. of this year.
On Feb. Is the county assessor assessed
for taxes certain personal property then
in his possession. Frank Harris was
appointed trustee for Wyatts estate on
Feb. 20. He qualified, took possession
of the property and thereafter disposed
of it for the benefit of creditors. The
question arose as to whether the taxes
assessed should or should not be paid
Judge MarshalIs opinion was that
property in the hands of a trustee in
bankruptcy is subject to state taxation
to the same extent as property in the
hands of a private person. If the taxes
had been assessed on or after Feb. 20r
While the property was in the hands of
the trustee, there is no question but
what the amount Of taxes should have
been paid in priority to claims of other
creditors. Since they were not assessed
on or after that date, they are not
now due, and should not be paid
The second question was as to the le-
gality of the decision of the referee in
disallowing the claim of the trustee for
SEQ, the amount charged him by the
Utah Title, Insurance & Trust company
for furnishing his bond as trustee The
opinion of Judge Marshall was that a
trustee does not assume his duties I'M
til he has qualified, and does not have
any of his expenses paid prior to quail
fication. AS the furnishing Of a bond
is part of the qualification, the trustee
must pay for it out of his own money.
The order of the referee refusing to
allow the trustee compensation for his
attorney was not recognized as legal
by Judge Marshall. The main question
is as to whether or not counsel was
necessary. If necessary. compensation
should certainly,be allowed. If trus-
tee employs counsel, he must be able
to show that it was necessary. The
trustee was instructed to show the rea-
son for his employing an attorney, and
the matter was RENTED to the referee
with instructions to act in conformity
with the opinion.

Especial Correspcndence.1
Logan, Sept. S.-The board Of county
commissioners met this morning in order
TO comply with the provisions of the writ
of mandate issued by Judge Hart recently
IN the matter of redistricting the city.
The Democratic city chairman submitted
a plan for dividing the city into ten cleo
ton precincts. two in each of the five mu-
nicipal wards. IL WAS approved by the
INcpuDucdD organization ana the commas
sioners ordered it placed in the form OF an
ordinance which was passed this evening.
This is the first move in preparing for
the city campaign, which has rot been
formally opened as yet In this city. Both
the Democratic and Republican commit
tees are DESTROYS of a short campaign and
the conventions will in all prObabilit not
be held until we'll along in October. The
prospects are that the Democrats will
win by the usual majority. if not by an
increased one; Traces of the late faction
al fight in the party have almost dis
appeared, and the fact that the presi
Dental election occurs next year. viii
obiiterate the last note of discord among
local Democrats. as all are anxious TO
see the state and nation Democratic next
year and they fully realize that success
then, depends largely upon the harmony
established in this campaign.
Candidates are beginning to be talked
about, and from current gossip it seems
certain that c. e. Thorstensen will be
the Republican nominee for MAYOR.
Thorstensen has served as councilman
and member OF the board Of education and
seems to be popular with his party this
year. The Republicans will likely attempt
to take advantage of the public pride in
military men by naming Volunteer Z. G..
Wood for marshal. For recorder and
auditor they are considering the name OF
Miss Lulu Carpenter.
Upon the Democratic side L. r. Mar
tineaux. A G.. Barber and DR.. f. G..
Gowans are the candidates most talked
about for mayor, while Policeman Evans
seems to have the inside track in the
race for marshal.
