READY FOR TRIAL.
Short Line Prepared to Give Evidence
Against Van Kuran.

The report to the effect that the case
against Arthur j. Van Kuran is to
be settled out of court is without foun-
dation 1t is known that when the rep
resentative of the surety company was
in Salt Lake soon after Van Kuran's
exposure, oVertures were made to the
prisoner to refund ali or part of the
missing money, but he claimed that he
had no money 1t was also stated at
that time that a suggestion was made
10 him to make over to the surety COM
pany a life insurance policy that could
in a year or two be cashed for 81, 0O0
These suggestions were turned down,
and so far as known, they are the only
moves that have had any appearance
of settlement
Since his arrest Van Kuran has been
in the county Jail, and his preliminary
trial has been postponed from time to
time by request of his counsel Judge

Interesting Paper Read Before La
dies Literary Club
At yesterdays meeting of the Ladies'
Literary club Mrs. j. F. Cowan read
an interesting paper on Municipal I'm
provements," citing Glasgow as the
model city in this respect. The most
significant portion of Mrs. Cowan's pa
per related to the Salt Lake High
school The location of the High school
building on an alley in the business
portion of the city. was criticized.
When school is out" said Mrs.
Cowan. 1.-The teachers have no further
jurisdiction over the $50 young people
and they are thrown into the very
business center of town Now, is it to
be wondered at that the girls are at
tracted by the shops in the street; and
that the boys loiter around the street
corners and drink in all the Informal
ton of questionable character Salt
Lake has in stock.
Speaking further on the same sub
ject, Mrs. Cowan said: 1.-The need of
a high school building was certainly
apparent before the lease for the pres
ent building was made The people
should have come to the rescue of the
board of education then. But are we
going TO allow these conditions to con-
tinue until the expiration of the ten
years lease? There are more than
seven years of it left Undoubtedly
the board will have TO pay the $4,000
per annum rental. but might it not be
possible to sublet the building for some
other purpose, as we were told at the
time the lease was made that the rem
tai was reasonable. indeed cheap? How
ever that does not alter our duty to-
ward the boys and girls of the High
school. They have right to be sur
rounded by influences and conditions
that will symetrically develop their
moral, mental and physical natures"
Mrs Cowan's address was we'll re-
ceived by the club and gave rise to
much favorable comment and profit
able discussion.

But No Money for Sprinkling Cart
Painters.
The payroll OF the city street sprink-
ling department for the last half of Feb
ruary has been hung up and in conse-
quence there is weeping and wailing by
tins followers of Councilman Canning the
chairman of the committee. The payroll
contains the names of five men at 81 a
day each for painting the sprinkling
carts. IL was hung up at the Instance
OF Chairman Robertson of the finance

In the meantime, the painting of the
twenty-six carts IS going on and George
canning IT, ana George Cottrell a
brother of the other councilman from
the Second precinct, are assured that
they at least will be paid their wages.
They are nearly through painting the
carts, said Councilman Canning last
evening, and it will be the best job that
has ever been done" He added that the
cost would be about $40.
On the other hand, Clerk Nash Of the
street department. knowing that the job
had cost $40 already, exclusive OF the
bills for paint. brushes and Sandpaper,
admitted that the total expense would
be nearer $4CO. While contessing that
only one man on the job is a painter.
Nash declared that it would be the best
job of painting ever done. Some of the
couucilmen comment on the tact that the
Caunings and the COttreliS seem to have
the ability TO keep steadily employed at
any old job in the city's service, and
have figured out that the labor on the
cart painting job is at the rate of more
than $40 per cart, an equivalent to one
man taking five days to paint a cart one
color, without any fancy stripes one OF
the councilmen pointed out last night
that four OF tbs men on the job had never
had a PAINT brush in their hands before
last month.
