DEMOCRATS To MEET
viii Plan Entertainment For
California Delegates.
SPEND SATURDAY HERE
UTAH LINCOLN REPUBLICANS
GOING TO KANSAS CITY.

The executive committee of the Dem
ocratic state committee will meet in
the office of Chairman ]. H. Moyle to-
morrow. Two matters of considerable
importance viii come before this meet
ing. One of these is the entertainment
to be accorded to the Democratic and
Lincoln Republican delegates from Cal
ifornia, who will spend next Saturday
afternoon in Salt Lake on thei, ~ to
Kansas City. They viii ar rom
the west at 3:05 on the r tnde
and will leave for the east at a The
present intention is to take = out
TO Saltair and the further D, anime
VIII be arranged at the meeuiAz, We'd
nesday evening.
The committee viii also take up the
matter of the ratification to be held in
this city on the evening of July 5, and
committees will be appointed to have
the matter in charge. The idea now is
TO have number of brief speeches,
covering different phases of the politi-
cal situation, with patriotic music and
singing interspersed. 1t is supposed
that the nominations at Kansas City
will be known at that time, and the
meeting will partake much of the ma
ture of a grand old-fashiOned ratifica-
ton meeting.
1t is also the intention of the execu-
tive committee to make the preliminary
arrangements on Wednesday evening
for the Democratic day to be celebrated
under the auspices of the Womans
Democratic club of this city on Tues
day, July II.

PRIMARIES TONIGHT.
Much Hustling In Behalf of Judicial
Candidates.

Much Hustiing In Behalf of Judicial
Candidates.
Few are aware of the amount of
down right rustling that has been done
within the past few days in favor of
different aspirants for the Democratic
nominations for the district judgeships
and for the new Office of district attOr
ney. And now on the eve of the pri-
maries there is much of the old-time
Democratic activity displayed in the
city. The primaries to be held tonight
in the fifty-two districts Of the city
promise to be well attended, when it
is taken into consideration that it is
not yet time for campaigning and that
the offices to be filled do not arouse
enthusiasm or general interest among
the people.
AS to the outcome of the primaries
and the convention the best posted and
shrewdest politicians are totally at sea.
There is much good timber from which
to select the judicial nominees, and
the friends of each man are pulling for
their favOrite and in many cases ig-
nOring all others. The situation is
badly chopped up, as one man put it.
The men most discussed still are Nor
rel, Cherry, Burton, Hall, Richards,
Stewart and Pardee, and unless some
thing unforeseen occurs, the choice will
be made from this list. but who the
winning three will be no man can tell
at this stage Of the game.
What is said as TO the uncertainty
surrounding the judicial nominees can
be said with equal force in regard to
the nominee for attorney. The men
considered in the race are Judge Pow
erS, Judge Varian, David B. Hemp
stead, H. J. Dinniny, Ray Van Colt and
w. H. Brammel.
An additional factor of interest is
added in the county outside of Salt
Lake in the selection of a candidate
for county superintendent of schools.
The delegates to the school convention
will be selected at the same time and
places as those to the judicial conven-
ton. In the race for this nomination
there are but two men, SO far as the
general public is informed. These are
oscar Van Colt, the present incumbent
and w. D. Moffat of Murray.

TROOPS TO LEAVE CUBA.
War Department Considers Reduction
of Force.

Washington, June 25.-In consequence
of reports from Governor General
Wood that the elections in Cuba passed
quietly and that affairs generally have
become tranquil, with no indication of
future trouble, the officials of the war
department are considering a large
reduction of the military force in Cuba.
1t has been stated that some Of the
troops can safely be brought home
within the next few months.
Nothing will be settled as to which
regiments shall come until after Secre-
tary Root returns to the city early
next week There is an impression,
however, that the Fifth infantry, sta
toned principally in the department of
Santiago, will be the first Cuban regi-
ment to return to the United Staes, and
that the Eighth infantry, stationed in
the same department, will follow soon
after The return of these troops to
the United States will enable the de-
partment to carry out its plan of send
ing regular troops from this country
to the Philippines to take the places of
the volunteer army, which must be
brought home and discharged by June
80, 1901 Unless developments in China
necessitate a change of programme,
the hOmeward movement of the voIun-
teer troops from the Philippines will
begin in the early fall. and about 5000
or 10000 regular troops will be sent out
gradually from this country to take
their places.

SPANISH TRICK TO GET CASH
MADRID VICE-CoNSUL TELLS
HOW AMERICANS ARE DUPED.
Relative" Applies By Letter For
Aid In Getting Hold of a Vast
Amount Of Money.

Washington, June 25.-Dwight Reed
United States vice consul at Madrid
Spain, has brought to the attention of
the state department an ingenious
swindle which has been attempted upon
various parties in this country by GER
tain Spanish schemers. The consul
transmits sample letter which was
used in the attempt to defraud. 1t was
sent to II. Stenl of Buffalo, n. Y, and
was signed Louis Sampler Stenl." In
ii the writer claims and explains a close
relationship with the recipient of the
letter. Louis Samper Stenl" recites a
long series of untOwaTd happenings and
complications which only financial aid
can mend
He has come into possession of some
$3.50, 600, confessedly an embezzlement
from the Spanish government, but to
insure his money against recovery by
the officials, has deposited it in a Mex
lean bank, payable upon presentation
of check accompanied by a certain
countersign arranged by himself and
the bank. Certain legal steps have
been taken against him, and in lieu of
ready money TO defray his part of the
proceedings he has been put in prison
and his personal effects, including a
valise in which reposes the counter
signed" check for his fortune, are about
TO be sold at auction.
In return for timely financial aid from
his blood relation" he promises a quar-
ter of his fortune, his daughters share
Of the money during hSr minority and
his everlasting gratitude. His daughter
is at a convent and the prior is the
sole other pOssessor of his secret. He
asks that a reply be sent to TeodOre
Runez, Gale de Swivela, Madrid. The
latter is a nephew Of the prior but is
ignorant of the existence of the check,
and the writer therefore cautions that
the answer be sent in an envelope en-
closed within one addressed to ''Runez."
Similar communications have been
sent to persons all over the United
States, the writer is most cases assum-
ing the same name as the person ad-
dressed. During the past year, Consul
Reed says, persons have come from
Boston and New York all the way to
Madrid, only TO find themselver victim

GOOD HORSE RACING ASSURED
GENTLEMEN'S DRIVING CLUB
PERMANENTLY ORGANIZED.
Officers Elected and Preparations
Made For Prosperous Season
First Meeting On July 4.

Horse racing of a first-class order,
conducted on honest principles, is as
sured for Salt Lake. 1t will be fur
nished by the Utah Gentlemen's Driv-
ing club, which was yesterday perma-
nently organized, and which will hold
its first meeting on the 4th of July.
John L. Weber was elected president
of the new organizations; Jacob Moritz
was chosen vice president; J. S. Brans-
ford, manager and treasurer, and Frank
E Schefski, secretary.
The organization of the club is the
result of a desire on the part of the
hOrSe-Owners of the city to promote
races of a high order and to place them
on the plane which they held in the
old days when an organization of sim
liar name had them in charge. The
men who have the matter in hand are
confident that if the public is given
good races the patronage will not be
lacking.
For the meeting on the Fourth of
July an attractive card has been ar
ranged. 1t comprises six races. three
of them being harness races for trot
and pace. The prizes for each event
viii be $3.50 in cash. with the exception
of the three eights-mile running, the
winner of which will be awarded 500.
The events are to be as follows: Three
minute, 2:30 and 2:35 trot and pace, and
seven eighths, five-eighths and three
eighthS running races. The entries
close SATURDAY. noon. The club is or
ganized under the rules of the AmeTi-
can association.

TURNS DOWN TWO JOBS
Professor WidtsOe Does Not
Want to Teach School.
WILL STAY IN GERMANY
REJECTS AGRICULTURAL AND B.
Y. COLLEGES OFFER.

Professor John A. WidtsOe will not
be the new president of Brigham Young
college nor the director of the expert
ment station in the state agricultural
college either The latest news that
reaches this city is to the effect that
Professor Widtsoe has turned down
both proffers and will remain in school
in Germany for another year.
The trustees of the Brigham Young
college received a cablegram from Pro-
fessor Widtsoe, in reply to theirs, in
which he says: Cannot accept the po-
sition; will write" He was not in Lon
don on his way home, as the trustees
thought, but was still in Germany, and
the latest advices received from him by
his family are to the effect that he will
remain in school in Germany for an
other year at least.
The information comes from Logan
that Widtsoe cabled to j. NJ. Tanner
for advice after receiving the offer of
the presidency of the Brigham Young
college; that Tanner laid the matter be-
fore Apostle NJ w Merrill, and that as
a result Of this conference Widtsoe was
advised to hold to the position of di
rector of the experiment station. It is
Known InaL 1anneP wrote TO WldCSOe
advising him not to accept the presi-
dency of the college. And it is certain
that he viii refuse both offers, unless
ne makes a radical change in his plans,
thus putting behind him two $1,000 jobs.
Select Another Man.
The trustees of the Brigham Young
college will have another meeting in a
few days and offer the presidency of
the college to some other person. Who
that person is would not be made pub
lie by the trustees last evening. They
claim to have several good men in view.
They are much disappointed over Pro-
fessOr Widtsoe's refusal, as they con-
sidered the offer one that he could not
afford to refuse.
With Widtsoe out of the way for the
position of director of the experiment
station in the state agricultural col
lege, it is thought by many that DR.. G.
W. Shaw of Corvallis, Ore, will be
chosen to that position, as he was Pro-
fessor Widtsoe'S strongest competitor
at the time of the election.

SALOON IS HELD UP
Bold Thieves Operate Out at tn
Warm Springs.
STAND BARTENDER OFF
SECURE S26 FROM THE TILL AND
MAKE THEIR ESCAPE.

There was an exciting time about the
Warm Springs last night for a few
minutes. When Jack Hays, the night
bartender, came running out to the
front door yelling at the top of his
voice for help, those who heard him
thought that a murder was being COM
mitted.
Hays says that he was sitting on the
porch awaiting custom when he heard
some one enter from the south side
door He, suppOsing that it was some
one who wanted drinks at the bar,
went inside. But, according to his
story, no sooner had he pOked his head
in the door than one of two men pulled
an ugly looking gun on him and COM
manded him to throw up his hands.
What for?" asked Hays.
I'VE want your money" said one of
the fellows.
But Hays said last night, after the
affair, that he jumped back out the
door and cried for help.
Il looked in again." said he. land
they were behind the bar. They had
touched the 15-cent key and were TAX
ing what was in the drawer. One of the
fellows, for there We're three, was
standing in the entrance of another
door leading into the bar room. / did
not see him very well. But the two
behind the bar had dirty white hand
kerchiefs tied over their faces.
They Pulled a Gun.
well, when I looked in they again
pulled a gun on me from behind the
bar, and I ducked out again. Before
anyone had come they got out the side
door and ran east through the grounds.
They might have some on up the hill.
They got about $2S I took a shot at
them at about fifty yards away, as
they ran through the lot"
Hays gives the description of the
three men as follows: One was quite
tall, with light clothes and a gray hat;
the second one was of medium height
and very slim, with hollow cheeks. He
had on dark suit. The third was short
and rather thick-set. He had on a
dark suit.
The men who clean out the private
plunges at the Warm Springs said that
at about 10:30 which was about
twenty-five minutes before the hold-up,
they saw three men answering the de-
scriptiOn of these laying down under
the trees in the yard, with no apparent
reason for being there.
1t was also learned from the day bar
tender that three men of the same ap-
Dearance, about o'clock, tried to
bum" drinks from him, but that he
refused to give them anything The
patrol wagon, with officers Brown and
Palmer, went out Immediately after the
hold-up, but they did not see anything.

HE TRUSTED A FRIEND.
How an Old Man Lost His Two
Valises Last Night.

An old man named c. P. Storm of
Mill Creek, told officer Eddington last
night that he had. while on Second
South street between State and Main,
left his two valises in charge of a
friend while he went inside a saloon
for a moment, and that when he came
out they nor the friend could not be
found. He said that in one there was
Si1 and the other contained his clothes
He said that he knew who the man
was but did not care to tell his name
After EddingtOn had looked for the
valises for some time he gave the
search up The old man sat down at
the Commercial street mission and told
Eddington that he would wait until the
valises were found. He wanted the Of
ficer to go out and get them without
giving him the name or description of
the man who took them.
