ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF LU "a
BER

Spruce lumber. was sold at the docks
along the water front yesterday at so. a
higher price than has before been quot
ed for many years. For lumber over 2s
feet price of 81 for every two feet or
fraction thereof is charged. There is a
corresponding advance in the price of
other kinds of lumber. 1t would cost a
man great deal more for lumber now
than it would a year ago at this time and
still there is great demand for it and a
great deal of building going on.

Not Guilty.

The trial OF Alderman Starr and Nc
Kinney on tho charge OF accepting q
bribe Of $500 to vote to grant saloon IL
csnses was brought to trial yesterday in
the district court.
Alderman Mckinney was discharged
before tho close oi the trial, the court
deciding there was insufficient evidence
to hold him.
The principal witness for the prosecu-
ton was Job 9. Payne. from whose tes-
timony 1t was attempted TO provo that
he had deposited In the Mesa county
bank certificate Of deposit for $500
which he asserted was given 70 Alder
man Ruben Starr. Payne's testimony
fell very fat when 1t was proven that
the deposit certificate which was drawn
to his name, was endorsed by him.
Orson Adams, jr., cashier of the Mesa
county bank was called to provo that
the certificate was paid to Starr, but Mr..
Adams was In Indianapolis at the time
tho deposit was made and also when it
was withdrawn.
1t was attempted to show that d. L.
Stone, the assistant cashier Of the bank,
was responsible for the payment to Starr
and that he had been spirited away last
week 80 that he could not testify at
the trial. However, this was only cock
and bull story of the prosecution, 90 it
appears, as Mr.. Stone is away attending
a session of court AMI was unavoidably
away on bank business. The prosecu-
tion it wss shown, had ample time to
subpoena Mr.. Stone, but believed that
Mr.. Adams testimony would be sum-
sient but they did no count on the fact
that Adams was away at the time and
practically knew nothing whatever of
the transaction.
M. L. Allison was placed on the stand
a. witness for the prosection. He
knew nothing however, knowing less
than usual.
The case was given to the jury last
night and after being out short time
they rendered verdict Of not guilty

COLUMBIA WINS
The American Vessel Beats
the Shamrock BY Ten
Minutes.

Special to THE SENTINEL.
New York, Tuesday, Oct. 17.-Ths
Columbia again defeated the shamrock
today. Enthusiasm runs high.
New York-The cup which the old
schooner America won so commandingly
against all comers over the course around
the Isle Of Wight in 1851 and brought
back across the seas will probably re-
main here another year defiance to the
world.
In q glorious breeze, over a windward
and leeward course of thirty miles, the
Columbia scored against the Shamrock
today in the first of the 1899 series for
the trophy.
She bounded across the finish line
fully q mile and half ahead Of the
challenger.
1t is undoubtedly a bitter blow, be-
cause the English hopes Of lifting the
cup hade never been higher since the
Thistle met the Volunteer in 1887.

Calif0rnia'S SenatOrShip

Sacramento, jan 16.-The contest for
United States senator is growing sensa-
tional. D. M. Burns and U. S. Grant, Jr.,
the leading candidates, are holding their
votes, but no gains are being made by
either side. The statement published in
San Francisco that Howard Wright,
speaker of the assembly, had received
money from Grant, has caused consider
able excitement. Wright admits he bor-
rowed $500 from Milton Green, Grant S
political manager, but says he is in no
way bound to Grant. Wright says the
money was borrowed last August before
the campaign commenced, and he never
promised to vote for Grant. Wright
voted for Bulla, but later changed to
Burns, and on succeeding ballots he
voted for him. Green says the money
was lent to Wright, who is an old friend,
and there was no understanding he was
to vote for Grant

Eagan'S Statement Modified

Washington, Jan. 16.-Eagan todav
sent to the war investigating commission
revised statement in place of that
originally made in response to Miles
charges. The revised statement is ahout
80 per cent shorter than that which was
ordered withdrawn because of its violent
ana abusive character. The commission
went INTO secret session to read the docu-
ment and decide whether in its prasant
form 1t had been eNpurgated sufficiently
to permit it to be made part of the com
missions records.
Accompanying Eagan's revised state
ment was letter from the commissary
general in which he dsclaimed any inten-
ton IN former testimony Of disrespect to
the commission. The writer in eycuse
for the vltuperative language states hc
has been placed before the whole cnuntrv
as a man who fed the army on poisona n
meat He says it is but natural when th,
proper opportunity was given him ia
meet and refute the charges he should
characterize them in barsh language and
in terms that are deemed improper no
matter what provocation. He concludes:
Il therefore withdraw the language and
matter so Objectionable and resuhmit to
faith your commission having all the
facts before you will decide the points at
issue justly"
The commission after brief secret
session decided for the present to make
public only Eagan's letter and not the
statement accompanying it.

We're occupied by families of those who
sat upon the floor and prominent persons
invited to be present. The remains were
taken from the Hotel Hamilton to the
capitol this morning at 10 o'clock. and
were borne into the hall of representa-
tives by a squad of capitol police.
The casket was placed on a bier in the
area in front of the marble rostrum of
the speaker, and for hours the public,
which would have no opportunity to wit
ness the official ceremony later, was al
lowed to view the remains as they lay
in state. Thousands of people streamed
through the main door, down past the
casket, and gazed upon the calm, serene
features of the dead during that hour.

whether the attorney general should ap-
pear before the grand jury. In the opinion
by Hunt in which Pigott concurred the
court held that the right to supervise pro-
ceedngs was vested in the attorney gen.
eral The chief justice announced that
he had not seen the decision but as soon
as he had he would either concur or dis
sent. In the course of it's opinion the
court says:
There is. therefore, in the attorney gen.
eral the right to oversee for direction, to
inspect with authority all matters per-
tanning to the duties of county attorneys
of the state and to direct with superin-
tending oversight the official conduct and
acts of such officers, and it is his pre-
scribed duty to exercise and perform
these acts and to do whatever may be
necessary and proper to render his power
in these respects effective"
The court continuing says: "Our de-
cision rests upon the delegation Of au-
thority to the attorney general to assist
the county attorney, the public service
requiring it, and upon the broad ground
that under the law assistance means per-
sonal participation and help to the coun-
ty attorney in the lawful discharge of his
official duties no matter what the tribunal
or body may be, wherever the duty lies
and no matter what the nature Of the
officials duty may be. If the county at
torney can act the attorney general can
assist and do that same act" The grand
jury is at work today.
