WERTZ Is BOUND OVER.
Former Armour Agent Must Answer
to Embezzleme nt


Harry G. Wertz, whose connection with
the Armour company got him into few
pecks of trouble, was yesterday bound
over to the district court by Justice
Pardee on two charges of embezzlemenr,
and discharged on a third charge. The
preliminary hearing was conducted Y
Assistant County Attorney Gunter for the
state and Attorney Gustin for the de-
PENDANT
The first case charged Wertz with mis-
apprOpriating 1872 50 from Armour & Co.,
while acting as their agent here. A num-
Der of witnesses were examined, includ-
ing A. w. Logan, the auditor, who check
ed up the late agents accounts, and other
attaches of the company from Omaha
WertZ offered no defense and he was
bound over in the sum of $500 10 await
the action of the higher court.
The second complaint alleged that the
defendant embeZzied 500, the money be-
ing in the form OF a check received from
a restauranteur John McGilI. which the
accused failed to turn over to the COM
pany- Again WertZ failed to enter any
testimony, and he was bound over again
under another 5000 bond.
The third case was one wherein WertZ
is alleged to have received S97 80 from
J. II. Griffith of Idaho. the remittance be
ing in two express money orders. Mr..
Gunter discovered at the last minute
that he could not identify a certain letter
having a bearing on the case and on that
ground asked for continuance until he
could subpoena Griffith. The defense op-
posed the motion and the court sus-
tanned the objection. The state then sub
mitted it's case and Mr.. Gustins motion
for dismissal met with no opposition
from the state.
Wertz looked exceedingly happy at the
outcome of the last case but after court
had adjourned, Mr.. Gunter expressed his
intention of filing a few more complaints
against the accused.

KIN 6 TO THE RESCUE.
Tries to Release Brigham Young Elk
petition Held Up In Mexico.

The Brigham Young academy scientific
expedition is meeting with some embar-
rassment in Mexico and Congressman
King has been in communication for the
past week with Secretary of State Hay
for the purpose CT obviating the difficulty.
The officials in Mexico refused to permit
the members of the party to take their
outfits with them through the country I'M
less they first gave cash bond that they
would not dispose OF the goods; some
thing in the nature OF a tariff. Congress
man King sent two kilograms to Seere-
tary Hay explaining the matter; the sec
rotary got the Mexican ambassador inter-
ested, and from the last accounts the
trouble will be overcome in a short time.
President Joseph F. Smith is now in
Mexico looking into the affairs of the
expedition. 1t has been decided that the
company is too large 10 travel success lilly
through South America and it will there
fore be reduced in size. Those released
from the expedition will engage in mis-
siOnary work in the south Professor
Cuff and Professor Wolfe and eight or
ten of the members will continue the ex-
petition into South America.

The Primary Plan.

The Primary Plan.
1.-THE method of holding a primary
under the new law is very simple. -
said Mr.. Lloyd. Judges will serve
without compensation. The polls will
be open from o'clock in the afternoon
until 9. Duly qualified electors, en-
titled 10 vote in the precinct at the
coming election. will be permitted &c
cast ballots, provided they expect to
support the Democratic ticket at the
coming election. The judges are au-
thorized by law 10 interrogate the
voters under oath. At any time be-
tween 4 and 8 o'clock in the afternoon
man may drop into the polling place.
take his wife, daughter or sweetheart
along, prepare lists OF delegates and
take active part in the formation of
the county and state conventions
without frittering away valuable time
or being Obliged TO breathe the smoke
laden air of a precinct primary room
or listen to profitless controversies
which mean no good for the party. but
tend to widen CULTS between factions.
i want to see the primary system
perfected at the earliest possible date
and the next legislature ought to be
elected with such an object IN view
When it is perfected there will be a
party registration, which means that
the names of all Democrats who expect
to participate at the primary election
must before a certain day be on the
party registry book the same as it is
necessary for one to have his name on
the registry book before he can vote
on election day. But. realizing that
this system must be brought to the
people by the simplest means, it is
deemed most practicable for this cleo
ton to dispense with some features of
the system which may incur expense
or be bewildering to the voters. All
Democrats who are citizens of the
United States and are qualified electors
and viii have been residents of the
election district in which they present
themselves TO vote at the primary cleo
ton a sufficient length of time to en-
able them to vote at the coming No
Vember election, may register their
names with the judges and cast their
ballots for the number of delegates
allotted their district TO the state,
county and precinct conventions and
for five members of the district COM
mittee. 1t must be distinctly under
stood that the judges of election who
will preside at these primaries will be
persons well known in each voting dis
trict and who will be likely to know
the voters of the district well. 1t will
diSO bc TeinSHDeIeu that luSSc Juu6SS
are empowered by law to request any
person presenting himself to vote, TO
subscribe to an oath that he is in all
respects a qualified elector in the dis
trict, and if he falsifies he is subject
to punishment for perjury. This pri-
mary election will be conducted under
and in accordance with the laws of
Utah, 1899, which authorize political
parties to conduct such an election
primary.
This system is in vogue in about
half of the states, and so satisfactory
has it become that no state has yet
abandoned this method of choosing Of
ficers."

SEEKING A CHAIRMAN.
Republicans Hunting a Head For
County Committee.

County Committee.
The question as TO who shall be the
next chairman of the Republican coun-
ty committee is one that is worrying
the faithful TO a marked degree. Joe
mis- Eichnor's old shoes, but Joseph was
too foxy. He declares those shoes
couldn't be trimmed down to fit him
under any circumstances.
1t is thought that the idea actuating
the desire for Mr.. Lippman's election
was the thought that he had come
back from Nome with all kinds of gold
concealed about his person. Be that
as it may, the committee will not get
a chance to see the color of it, for Mr.
Lippman has positively declared him
self.
He said yesterday that he had been
approached with reference to the chair
manship, but that he had decided not
TO accept it under any circumstances.
His late pursuit of yellow metal on the
sands of Nome has fatigued him so
that he thinks he is entitled to a rest.
With Mr. Lippman disposed of, the
Hannaites are again at sea.
John z, DOOly is talked of by the
Lannan crowd as a compromise candi-
date So is Alexander A. Robertson.
The friends of Arthur Brown say nei-
Their will do. They offer Ralph Guthrie
and say he will be a satisfactory man.
Colonel George b. Squires, the sweet
songbird of Sugar House ward, and
George NJ. Cannon are mentioned as
possibilities.
Nobody seems anxious to lead the
fight, for even at this early date the
boys are beginning TO realize that
there is little hope for glory in it. 1t
will be hard to find one willing to lead
the cause that is already lost.
