Rapid Transit Employees Sc
cure an Increase.
OLD MEN RETURNED TO SCALE
OF 1898.
This is the Result of a Petition Pre-
scented to the Company at Re
cent Meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors-After a Year All Hands
Get as Much as Nineteen Cents.

The old guard among the Rapid
Transit moto11nen and conductors have
had a gratifying raise in their salaries
beginning June ]. The men in the en-
ploy of the company petitioned some
time ago for an increase of pay on the
ground that living was so much higher
rent, fuel. food and clothing-that
they found it almost impossible to get
along on the old scale of Is cents per
hour
The petition was cOuched in the most
respectful language and no specific in
crease was urged. except that the fact
was mentioned that when the hard
times came il 1898 the wages of the
men We're cpt 10 per cent or from 20 to
IS cents per hour, and it was limited
that now since good times had returned
to all other classes it would seem right
that the working men have their wages
restored to the old basis.
The matter was laid before the di-
rectors Of the company at the recent
meeting and the petition was granted
to this extent: The old guard, or the
men who were in the employ of the
company previous to 1898 and who are
still in its employ, are to get the old
scale Of 20 cents per hour; the lnen who
have been with the company for one
year or more, but who are not of the
old guard, are to receive 10 cents per
hour.
The new men are to receive IS cents
until they have been on the road for
a year when their wages will be raised
to 10 cents. The change went into eff
feet June I. 1t was stated at the office
Of the company that there were TWEEN
ty-five of the old guard who would have
their wages raised 2 cents Der hour and
about twenty-five others who would
get an increase of cent per hour. 1t
has been remarked the number of new
men that this company has been break
ing in recently, and it was feared by
some Of the old men that they were to
be thrown out to make room for cheap
er men. The action of the company in
granting an increase Of wages would
seem to give the denial to this theory.
At the office it was stated yesterday
that a number of new men had been
put on recently because it was found
necessary, but that no new men were
being put on now.

A representative audience gathered
in the study hall at All Hallows col
lege last night on the occasion of a
complimentary entertainment rendered
to the Right Rev. George N. Lehman,
d. D., Bishop of Auckland, New Zeal
and, who is passing through this city
en- route to the Antipodes. from an au-
dience with Pope Leo XIII at the Vati-
can.
In addition to the special feature of
the entertainment there was cOnsid-
cradle interest manifested in The occa-
sion from the fact that the students at
the institution were down on the pro-
gramme for a contest in elOcution. A
pleasing entertainment was the result
which comprised recitatiOns, orchestral
selections and instrumental solos rem
dered by the pupils in a manner wOr-
thy Of adults.
The OratOTical contest was productive
Of work that bore earmaTkS of careful
study and attention to gesture and de-
tail to q degree that J. D. Spencer, S.
A. Mann and II. G. Whitney who acted
in the capacity of judges, were at times
sorely tried TO award the palm. The
competitions were divided into three
classes; the juniors, minims and the
seniors, which produced thirteen aspir-
ants for the three medals offered to the
successful orators.
Among the six competitors in the ju-
niOr class, John Mulvey was accorded
the prize for his rendition of Bernardo

stead a handsome manteI inserted in
the wall that has been built across the

has furnished the club with another

In addition to this Improvement, the
directors Of the club have purchased
the vacant strip of land adjoining the
club house on the east side and have
transformed the same into a neat lawn
and flower beds. The porticO that over

into a cosy little smoking room decked
with pot plants in bloom. In addition

LEGAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED
ATTORNEY GENERAL HANDS
DOWN SOME OPINIONS.
Gives County Attorneys His Idea of
the Law Governing Cases They
Mention.

Attorney General Bishop rendered
three opinions yesterday. County At
torney Condie of Morgan county asks
the following:
whether the Office Of county super
intendent of schools can be consolidated
with another county Office under sec
ton 542, R. S"
I am OF the opinion that your first
question may be answered in the al
firmative," the attorney general replied
While the fact Of the tenure of the OF
fees beginning and ending at different
times would render it incOnvenient and
somewhat impractieabIe, there is moth
ing in the law to prohibit it"
Can unsurveyed lands be assessed
and taxes collected thereon, or only on
the improvements? p" asked Mr.. Condie.
The reply Of Attorney General Bishop
was as follows. substantially.
If the lands in question have not
been sectiOniZed it would be impos-
sible to give any sort of description in
the assessment that would be sufficient
in law as a basis for taxation; but if
the land has been sectiOnized by the
On ed States government and the par
-i.u land to be assessed should be in
q g ute portion of such section
-- inclined 10 think it might be so
assessed and the description would be
SUFFICIENT"
County Attorney L. 0. Hoffman of
Carbon county asks:
"A is a resident of Utah county. and
owns sheep ranged in Carbon and Em-
cry Counties but owns no real estate
in either Of said counties. He drives
his sheep from Emery to Carbon coun-
ty without complying with the require
ments of sections ,, 4 and of chapter
A Of the 1899 session laws. Is he sub
1ect to the penalty and forfeiture pro-
vided in section Of said act?"
Attorney General Bishop replied:
i am of the opinion that he is not
only subject to the provisions of am
the sections you have named. out. in
addition thereto, to the penalty pro-
Vided in section II of said act"

APPEAL TO UTAH TO AID
THE STARVING EAST INDIANS

Already Utah has done a little to-
ward relieving the scfferings Of the
famine-stricken millions in India. IN
doubtedly the charitable people of the

TO the attention of Governor Wells
Yesterday by the Rev. Q. L. Hosford,

the following appeal
