President Springer was authorized to
appoint a committee from the western
states and territories to frame a bill to
be presented to congress in conformity
with the appended resolution relating
to The leasing Of the public lands:
Whereas, The vast area of public
lands now being occupied and utilized
by st0ckmen of the west for grazing
purposes are without the management
and control Of any authority with pow
er and facilities to protect ans regulate
the same, and
Whereas. Said lack of control has
led TO the 0verstocking Of many of the
ranges, thereby Destroying the sod and
large tracts Of the public lands to the
detriment Of the national government
as well as to the stockmen. and
Whereas. We believe that the peo-
PIE engaged in stock raising are cap
able Of determining the most who esOme
plan for the mana cement Of the public
ranges and for the correcting of exist
ing evils. and
Whereas. the stOckmen feel that JUS
tica demands that they should be con-
Suited in all matters pertaining to ma
tionai legislation affecting the public
ranges of the west on which they have
lived and made their homes for years,
therefore be It
Resolved. That it is the sense of this
convention that arid and semi arid pub
iic lands IN the western states and ter
rlt0ries should be classified, appraised
and leased to the stock raisers of the
vest Tor grazing purposes under fixed
lin tations, giving preference always to
the occupants of said lands"

power OF expulsion is made By law

regard TO prOpriety and the honor and
integrity Of the house. We are only
responsible for the abuse OF this dis
erection to our constituents. our con-
sciences and our God.
i believe that Mr. Roberts has tech
nIcaIly the legal right to be sworn in
as member. but the facts are such
that I believe that the house. in the
exercise Of its discretion, is not only
justified, but required by every. proper
consideration, to Immediately thereaf-
ter expel him.
Duty of the House.
'The house sits in this case as the
constitutional judges of the qualifica-
tons of the member-elect from Utah.
1t is its duty TO ascertain:
First-What elements of quaIifca-
ton or eligibility are required by the
constitution.
Second-Whether the member-eleet
from Utah possesses these qualifca-
tons or elements of eligibility. IF it
flnds he does, it is then its duty to de-

gibility wnich does not exist. One is
the act Of a judge in declaring the law
as IL IS. Ehe other is the attempt to
make law suit the case in hand. One
is within the constitution. The other is
a gross Violation of the constitution"

Fort Worth, Tex. Jan. 19.-The Salt
Lake crowd today faced the combined
forces of Kansas City and Texas and
won a great victory. The next meeting
of the National Livestock association
viii go to Salt Lake.
There were four candidates in the
field, Salt Lake. Chicago Kansas City
and St. 10. Kansas City had at its
back 200 votes of Texas, which%was re-
garded two days ago as meaning vic
tory for the Missouri city.
The Salt Lake crowd had a combina-
ton themselves, however. The first
was with Idaho, which had the next
largest vote to Texas. The boys from
the Gem of the Mountains stood by
Utah through thick and thin. The COM
bined strength soon began to attract
like a magnet, and soon the Salt Lakers
counted up 400 votes out of the $50 in
the convention, this, however, including
the Chicago vote, which WIS promised
to Salt Lake on the second ballot
Chicago Not In Tt.
Chicago's invitation was based on a
proposal TO change the date Of the
meeting to December. This the con
ventiOn declined to do. After the long
roll call had ended the leader Of the
Chicago delegation rose and asked to
have Chicago's vote changed to Salt
Lake. Others followed, and some
changed from Chicago to Kansas City,
but the large majority of the changes
were in favor of Zion.
In a few moments the St 10 crowd
went over to Salt Lake. and then, for
certain, Kansas City was hOpelessiy
defeated.
The Texas delegation changed its en-
tire vote to Salt Lake on motion of the
Kansas City delegation, and amid a

MOST DASTARDLY CRIME.
Police Omcer Murdered While Twin.
to Arrest Trio of Robbers
at La Crosse, Wis.

La Crosse, Wis, Sept. 1O.-One of the
most dastardly crimes in the history of
La Crosse was committed about 1880
o'clock in the morning, when Patrol
man Perry Gates was shot dead by a
trio of thieves, whom he was about to
arrest for holding up man on the La
Crescent road, leading from this city
and robbing him of nine dollars. The
men came to the city and it was the
intention of the officers to arrest them
at the wagon bridge. On their going to
the bridge they met the robbers and
Gates ordered them to halt, whereupon
all three lined up on the sidewalk and
pulling their revolvers fired at the no.
liceman, each shot striking him; one
on each arm and the other in the alb
domen. Gates fell out of the patrol
wagon and dropped dead on the
ground. The shots frightened the
horses an6 his companion. Officer
Schubert. was unable to control them,
and they ran away.
The robbers fired. several shots at
Schubert, but none of them struck
him. The trio then ran down Fourth
street and escaped from view Gates
was one of the most popular officers on
the force, and if his murderers are
caught it is feared that all three may
be lynched by angry citizens.
