day, Judge HOwat and Judge Powers Ju-
Nor partner Attorney D. Newton Straup,

was permissible before the bar of the
highest court of the state.
The eminent jurist who halls from the
Scotch duickness of temper, which all his
legal life and training have only smother

Attorney Straup is the kind of lawyer
who never takes any back talk from Op-

posite sides of the POtter-AjaX case the
tension though held in allegiance, was in
evidence Just the same.
The cord snapped when Judge Howat
made a reflection on the firm of Powers.
Straup & Lippman derogatOTy TO that
trio's conception of legal ethics and good
faith Straup was on his feet in a mo-
ment. boiling over with indignation. He

Mr. Straup threw at the firm of Bennett.

What Mr.. Straup was limiting at was
not perfectly clear, but it was plain
enough that it was some matter that en-
tirely concerned Judge HOWat and not
his firm. Mr.. Straup had made the as
sertiOn that certain testimony had come
from the lips of the plaintiffs witness.

ASK NEW MARRIAGE LAW.
Cubans Wish Requirement of Civil
Ceremony Abolished.

Havana, May 24-Mgr. Donate Sbar-
retti. Bishop of Havana, accompanied
by number of priests, representing
the lay Catholics of the diocese, have
presented to General Wood petitions
signed by $1,000 persons requesting
that the decree issued by General
Brooke while military governor of
Cuba, ordering that only civil mar
riages should be considered lawful. may
be so altered as to allow marriages
celebrated according to the rites of any
religion to be considered lawful. pro-
vided record of the ceremony is duly
handed in by the church or religious
BODY for civil registration within
thirty days.
The decree of General Brooke" said
the bishop, created and maintains a
useless conflict between the civil and
the ecclesiastical law and good Catho-
lies consider it an imposition. forcing
upon them as it does an empty cere-
mOny. The decree was a gratuitOus
attempt to restrict liberty and it is
the direct cause Of embarrassment and
of increased expense to Catholics when
contracting marriage"
The probability is that the decree
viii be repealed sufficiently to allow
the marriage ceremony to be legally
performed by any clergyman in regu-
lar orders.

Result of Examination of Candidates
BY Pharmacy Board.

The quarterly session of the state
board of pharmacy examiners closed
yesterday, resulting in granting certifi-
Gates to practice pharmacy to FIVE out
of the nine candidates who underwent
the crucial tests, Those who success
fully passed We're +. P. Sherwood and

and Ernest Anstee, Carl Sandberg and
c. W Jackson, who were granted GER
tificates of the second, or assistants
grade. All five of the newly accredited
pharmacists are residents Of Salt Lake
City.
1t having come to the knowledge of
the examining board that there are
some druggists in various parts of the
state who have in their employ per-
sons who. without being duly regis
tered pharmacists, are permitted to
compound prescriptions, it was decided
that members of the board should make
rigid INSPECTIONS to ascertain the ma
ture of the complaints. Wherever vi0-
latiOns Of the law are found prosecu-
ton of the offenders will Immediately
follow, unless they at once comply with
the law, since the policy of the state
board is to see to il that no dealer IN
drugs, either by himself or employee,
endangers the public safety by letting
unqualified hands compound preserip-
tons.
