More lights on the south shore of Long

dangerous and poorly lighted anywhere.

will be little danger. This remedy will

: BRYAN ON COMBINES.
Says There Was An Object Behind Mr..
Havemeyer's Declaration.
Baltimore SUM-

Chicago Ills. June 15.-William ].
Bryan to-day praised III. 0. Have
meyers opinion on trade combines as
expressed before the Industrial Com
mission at Washington.
I'VE will find out a lot about these
combines" said Mr.. Bryan, 'before we
get through with them. Here is Have
meyer, who has made millions through
the agency of combinations, and says
these things, which are invariably mimi
cal to labor, could not live We're it not
for high protective duties. Now these
duties were put there by the Republi-
cans when they got in power, and they
will remain as long as the Republicans
stay in power, but the fight of next year
will not be made on trusts, which will
constitute comparatively collateral is
sue. The high tariff duties and the con-
sequent combinations which follow in
their wake are the result of the victory
in 1896 over the money of the people
as against the money of men who man
age the trusts.
"Of course. just as Mr.. Havemeyer
says, the people are plundered through
the tariff laws, but we must go back
of the tariff if we want to find out
where the real reason lies. This sugar
trust magnate has not said anything
that has not been said scores of times
before, but never by SO prominent an
advocate of trusts.
'Mr. Havemeyer has some object in
view in making his statements of yes
terday before the Industrial Commits
sion, but what it is, of course, cannot
say. These men of millions never waste
words any more than they throw away
dollars; every move is calculated. They
say and do things for the effect they
will have. They do not talk idly, for
they are busy men. What was Mr..
Havemeyer's object in making the
declaration he did before the commits
sion? We will have to wait for that"

The Supr enc Court Decides When
Trains Must Stop.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION
GROWING OUT OF A SUIT IN
OHIO.
Three Trains, at Least, Must Stop at
Any Town Containing 5000 In
habitants-Four justices Dissent
London Shareholders Agree to
Consolidate C. P. With S. P.

washington, Feb. 2O-In the United
States supreme court today a decision
was handed down by Justice Harlan
constituting the constitutionality of the
state laws of Ohio regulating the stop
page of through trains at stations in
the state. The law requires that any
railroad company in the state shall
have at least three trains day, If
so many are run, stop at any station
on It's line containing not less than 3
600 population. The action was begun
against the Lake Shore company be-
cause of its refusal to obey the law
by having as many as three of its
tains stop at the town of West CleVe-
land.
The railroad company contended that
the statute was antagoniStic TO the fed
eral constitution. in that it interfered
with commerce between the states. The
court held this contention to be I'M
founded, saying that the question in
volved was only that of subscribing the
public convenience, and that the state
had a right to legislate to that END.
The Judgment of the supreme court of
Ohio was, therefore, affirmed Justices
Brewer. Shiras, White and Peckham
dissented, and Justices Shiras and
White delivered dissenting opinions.
Justice White based his dissent upon
the ground of discrimination against
through trains. Justice ShiraS con-
tended that tains running from one
state to another carrying mails, etc,
were subject to the control of congress,
and not to the control of state legisla-
lures. The question was, he said, one
of the convenience of the entire public,
and not that of the local public alone.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-02-21

President Nebeker said he believed it
would not be necessary to further ad-
monish the visitors in the gallery and
upon the floor. He added that no more
kissing or other insulting demonstra-
tions would be tolerated. and all must
bear in mind that the proceedings of
the legislature in joint session are
presumed to be characterized with
dignity and the respect due from citi-
zens.
The only other speech, brief as were
the two preceding, was the short state
ment made by Representative Robert
son during the voting. He was ex-
cused on Saturday from voting for
candidate for senator, but yesterday,
in voting for Mr.. McCune, he said:
"I have thought upon this matter for
some little time. 1t is a well known
axiom of law that a person accused
shall be considered innocent until he
is proven guilty. and l therefore cast
nv vote for A. W. Mccune."
Immediately after the result of the
joint ballot was announced, the as
sembly, on motion of Senator Evans,
dissolved till this noon.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The Meeting Yesterday Devoted
Chiefly to Routine Business.

The meeting of the county commission
ers yesterday was devoted principally 20
the transaction of routine business and
auditing a large number of bills. All the
members OF the board were present.
In the matter of the petition of resi-
dents of school districts % and %, to
change the boundary line between said
districts, the members announced that
after due consideration they had decided
to deny the request, there appearing 10
be no good reason why the change should
be made.
Nine liquor dealers outside Salt Lake
City presented a petition asking that the
liquor licenses be reduced from $225 to SlSe.
alleging that the present business does
not justify the amount of license charged,
which fact imposes a hardship on the
men engaged in the business. The petit
ton was laid over for one week.
A letter from County Treasurer Lynch
was received, appointing John Montgom-
cry, jr., deputy county treasurer, for the
purpose of levying and collecting deln-
quent personal properly taxes for the
year 1898, this action being done with the
consent of Sheriff Howells.' The APP
pointment was promptly confirmed.
The sum OF $40 was APPROPRIATED TO
cover the expenses from Evansville Ind,
of F. Grota, a necessary witness for the
state in the case against j. 3. Rowan.
The amount was set aside on recommen-
dation of County Attorney Putnam. Row
an is the man who was recently extra
dited from Richmond, Va, for forgery.
He passed a forged check on the National
Bank of the Republic in September 1897,
for $3.50. and Immediately decamped. He
is a professional forger. has many aliases
and is very dangerous criminal. The
expenses of his eXtradition were paid by
the state. with the understanding that
the county would bring the necessary wit
nesses here TO secure his conviction.
EX-County Audi. Or Game yesterday filed
her report, showing the financial transac-
lions of the county during 1888. the COM
plete report was published in The Herald

Judge Andrew Howat appeared before
the board in regard TO the taxes on the
Beck'S Hot Springs property, now in liti-
cation, offering to compromise by paying
the county $500. The offer was accepted
and a resolution embodying the provision
passed.
Some time ago there was a similar offer
made to the board, but the parties inter-
ested did not make good their proposition
and nothing came of it. The taxes due on
this property originally were, approXi-
