PENALTY
FOR KIDNAPERS
Bill to Be introduced in the
Utah Legislature.
MEMBERS
FAVOR MEASURE
Business Men Endorse McCOr-
nick for Senator.

As soon after the assembling of the
legislature as other business win per
NIT, a bill viii be introduced to place
on the statute books of Utah a law
making the crime of kidnapping for ran
som a capital offense. Several of the
legislators who have been spoken to
about the matter are heartily in favor
of such a measure. There is little doubt
about its adoption.
A. l. Hamlin of Salt Lake county s
delegation TO the lower house is par
lcularly interested in the proposition.
ar Hamlin said yesterday that he
thought the law should be enacted at
the earliest possible moment such
crimes as the kidnapping of the Cudahy
boy in Omaha" said he, ought to be
punished by death. I viii introduce a
bill to make such a law for Utah. and
viii do all in my power to secure its
passage.
At present the law does not ad-
eqUateiy punish kidnapcrs. The light
ness of the penalty imposed in most
states acts rather as an incentive in
stead of a deterrent to the offense. If
the legislature decides that death shall
be the PENALTY in this state for kid
naping for ransom. believe il viii
prevent the commission of the crime

Citizen Sandbagged. Gagged
and Robbed Of $40.
CRIME COMMITTED.
IN EARLY EVENING
Tom Shaw the Victim. and the
Robbers Escaped.

That a most daring band of desper-
ADDE'S is now operating in the city was
demonstrated last evening. when one
of the boldest crimes in local history
was committed Almost within the
shadow of the police station. in the
early evening and under the glare of
the electric street light, a citizen was
sandbagged by two highwaymen, who
knocked him down, gagged him, robbed
him of $40 and left him insensible in
the ditch.
The victim was Tom Shaw, a deliy-
cry man for the American laundry,
and the affair occurred at 6.45 ON the
sidewalk in front of the Collegiate in
stiLute, on Second East, near the cor
ner Of Second South street The rob
bers made good THEW escape.
According to the story Of Shaw, he
was just walking out of the Collegiate
institute where he had been to deliver
some laundry, when two men met him
on the sidewalk and one of them asked
him if he had his laundry. The driver
asked him his name and the man re-
piled, Layton" TO which the driver
answered that if the laundry had his
clothes they would be delivered that
night
Knocked Down and Gagged.
Shaw says that one of the men then
grabbed him by the throat and cbOlzed
him while the other struck him OK er
the head with what he thought was
some kind of q pipe. He said that as
he fell the men stuffed a rag in his
mouth. and he knew nothing more IN
til he came too some minutes after
wards and found himself upon his
back in the ditch soaked with mud and
water, and unable to get up. He he
gan to make a feeble call for help. and
:. TuttIe. who happened to be coming
out of his house near by, heard his
calls and went to the rescue. he
found Shaw lying in the ditch in
half dazed condition. Calling 7. z.

NEGROES BOUND OVER.

 Pistols and Other Things.

Josh Lowery and will Scarborough, two negroes, were bound over yesterday afternoon by Judge Feagin on a bond of $2oO for grand larceny. The negroes have been stealing overcoats, pistols, cloths and other articles for the past two weeks, all amounting to over $10O. They were captured by Policemen Smith, Veitch and Barker.
 Policeman Smith had a long chase after the two men, running them for half dozen blocks, and finally bringing them down. They were loaded at the time with some Of the spells of their many raids. The negroes were taken around yesterday afternoon by the police men and made to tell where they had disposed of the stolen goods. They did this. and as the result H.

CHANGE IN EFFECT MAY
Postoffice at WoodIawn, With Sub- Stations In Other ToWns-Will Be Under the Local
 Office.

On May 1 the postoffices at Avondale, Elyton, West End and Woodlawn will be consolidated with the Birmingham post office. On that date free delivery will be inaugurated in these localities and mall will be delivered just as 1t is now done in Birmingham.
 by the Postoffice Department in Wash ington yesterday to Postmaster Hughes He will be advised later In regard to the necessary carriers. A station is to be To- cated at Woodlawn and sub-stations will be established in lieu of other offices, to be called sub-stations 3, and 5. The present postmaster at Woodlawn will be retained as clerk on a salary of $500 per annum, and he will have an assistant at $500 per annum. The sub-etations will be placed in charge of clerks at $1oO per an- mum each. Postmaster Hughes is au- thorized to obtain suitable quarters for the woodlawn station at a cost not to exceed s230 per annum, including light, heat, fuel, etc.
 Postmaster Hughes said last night he had been expecting this change to be made and that he thought it would be a great improvement giving the three places the same delivery service Birmingham has. He said it would require probably five more carriers and that he would re- ceive instructions concerning them. The Woodlawn station will be a regular sta- ton, but the one at Avondale will be a sub-station.
 Dr. Hughes said that he and Congress man Underwood had been working to get the improvement for some time
