HARD WORK FOR COURT.
All Testimony in schley Case Will
Have to Be Sifted.

Washington, Nov. Admiral Dewey
called on President Roosevelt, but did
not discuss with him the Schley court
of inquiry except to tell the president
that the public sessions of the court
would be concluded in few days.
When we begin TO sift the testi-
mony." said the admiral, our real
work will begin. told Secretary Long
when he asked me to become presi-
dent of the court. that I would rather
go through another battle in Manila
bay. The hardest part of this work will
be wading through the mass Of testi-
mony and reaching our conclusions.
have two able associates, however, and
realize that we are on trial before the
country, as well as Admiral Schley-
Two ADLER, better men could not have
been secured than Admirals Benham
and Ramsay"
Admiral Dewey said that the court
probably would take up each charge in
the DTecept, review the testimony and
then give the facts as they found
them and give such an opinion as they
called for. He did not know that this
would be done as he had not discussed
the case with his associates, but It had
occurred to him that this would be a
good plan. He felt, he said, that the
American people would want the court S
reasons in detail and were entitled to
know them.

FOR WRIT OF PROHIBITION.
Attorney Botkin Files Action Against
Justice Morris Sommer.

Justice Morris Sommer was yester-
day made defendant in an action filed
in the district court by Attorney T. J.
Botkin tor A. J. PicKett, praying for
writ OF prohibition 10 restrain the
justice from taxing any 1urtner pro-
ceedingS IN case wherein frank Q.

unstated sum Tor materials furnished

aesign in front OF business houses. me
VIII was issued, TeturnaDle next Sat
urcay.
The application for the writ Of pro-
hibluOn sets Up that Pickett and Cat
tuQg were in a partnership, and there
fore the justice is without jurisdiction
to try the matters at issue between
them. 1t is further pleaded that no
summons was served upon Pickett and
that he learned only by chance of the
suit against him in Justice SOmmer's
court and voluntarily appeared IN his
court with an attorney to defend the
case and to move for a discharge Of
the attachment by garnishment OF the
money coming to MIN and the firm
from Auerbach Bros. An answer was
filed, it is alleged in the petition, de-
nying that PicKett owes Gattung. his
partner, anything, and challenging the
jurisdiction of the court. This was on
Oct. 80, il is alleged, but the court ar
bitrarily and contrary TO all rules Of
trial procedure, and While disregard
ing all self-respect for his judicial Of
fee" held full jurisdiction OF the case
and refused to discharge the attach
ment.
1t is further pleaded in the applica-
ton for the writ that the petitioner is
without any other plain, speedy and
adequate remedy at law to secure relief
from the wrong alleged to have been
done TO him by Justice SOmmeT.
When asked for his version of the
affair last evening Justice Sommer de
clared that it was an illustration of
Attorney Botkin's way of fighting him
in a political way. he added that he
had no doubt of the higher court sus-
tanning his action in refusing to dis
charge the attachment, because il was
not shown in the evidence that the iiti-
giants were partners, and, therefore,
the respondent had full jurisdiction.

HOW TWO CALIFORNIA OIL MEN
BROUGHT PROSPERITY TO NEWSBOYS

The newsboys Of Sait Lake reaped
re harvest Of thej- lives in an upper
Main street liquor houses last evening,
two phiIanthropic sports, representa-
tlves Of a CalOtirni3 oil company, scat
tering enough money among them TO
buy up the whole street edition Of the
evening paper.
The men referred to have been in
the city two or three days, making
prep atoms to go out into the Utah
oil fields in behalf of their company.
Yesterday being an of day, they spent
the afternoon in the resort in question,
consuming small bottles. Towards
evening they felt like a pair of horse
owners. and when a dirty-faced boy
entered the door, crying in monotone,
Evening Paper!" one of them turned
ard purchased his pile-seven in num-
Ter. The papers were thrown behind
the oar and another bottle was or
uered. The newsbOy hardly had time
to cross the street when another one
burst in, peering around eagerly for
the man with the dark mustache. His
stock was purchased and thrown aside.
By this time the oil men had moved to
the back room to drink another bottle,
and into their pTesen~,s sr-7ng Jimmie
MuldOon, the pride Of alley. His
papers were all .rC -e-sed. He
rushed forth and informed Rube
DahlQuist, who in turn notified Billy
Jones. Jodie Westman came next,
closely followed by ScOtty Henderson
and the Second South street tribe.

Taasdel's Stock of Clothing to Be
Closed Out.

The most important merchandising
event Of the season is the sale Of the
entire stock of clothing, furnishing
goods and hats Of the well known firm
of S. P. Teasdel company. Rowe &
Kelly company, the lucky purchasers,
intend to put in a modern front, re-
model the store throughout, and close
out the present stock Of merchandise

We intend to make our store and
business one to be remembered, and
we are going to show our friends whal

expended and We viii commence Mon
day, Nov. 4th, to close out the en-

worth Of his papers, whether he had
two or twenty, and there was a string
reaching from L0llin's to the Vienna
cafe pressing for admission. Before
the influx was over, the philanthrOpiSts
had bought up in the neighborhood of
S4J papers at a cost of S17 at least.
Finally they moved from the room,
and calling to a freckled-faced lad who
had come late to go an6 get his COM
panions, the gang was TUNED loose in
the room containing the papers, to
gather them up and resell them. How
a riot was averted is a mystery. but
in the course of four minutes there was
not a single copy left and every boy
in town was cut on the street with an
armful that almost defied navigation.
1t is fair to presume that most of them
were sold for a second time. At any
rate, the newsbOys had more money in
their jeans last night than since the
extras were issued on the assassination
Of the president.
In contrast to the philanthrOpic spirit
Of the oil operators, an incident oc-
Cured on Godbe-Pitts' corner about
o'clock. One of the boys, in sc-ambling
for papers, had by accident got a
morning paper mixed in with the lot,
and, probably Internationally, handed
it out to a customer. The latter,
whose name was not learned, kicked
the boy brutally until E0me street car
drivers, standing near. threatened to
take a hand. At which the grumpy
Individual disappeared along the street
in the darkness.

HEAVY RETAIL TRADE.
Business Conditions Are satisfactory
to the Merchants.

Business Conditions Are satisfactory
to the Merchants.
Local trade was quiet during the
past week, although the touch Of win
ter in the air in the past two days gave
a stimulus to trade in heavy clothing
and winter footwear. But while trade
has beeL quiet. the volume has been
large, and most OF the merchants are
making very coed reports on business
conditions. The leading stores in the
city are presenting a fine display Of
goods and the show windows WerE
never before so attractive.
The activity in stocks, outside of the
mining stocks. was confined very
largely to Utah Sugar. The price Of
this stock remained close to S1A50
throughout the week. The tendency
TO slump was checked by the offer of
T. r. Cutler to Guy large blocks of
the stock. There was little change in
the quotations on the other favorite
stocks, although Deseret Savings bank
went to Sl89, the highest point in the
history of that institution. The quo

RALEIGH WILL CONTEST.
Question of Executors Bonds Argued
and Submitted.

Question Of Executors Bonds Argued
and Submitted.
One Of the preliminary skirmishes
over the contest of the will Of the late
Bishop Alonzo H. Raleigh took place
yesterday in Judge Halls court, when
the contestants attorneys, Brown &
Henderson, rested their objections on
the application to place the executors
under suitable bond, and this was
taken under Amusement by the court,
after listening TO the arguments Of At
torney Henry S. Tanner for the propO-
nents of the will, and by counsel for
the contestants. At the same time At
torney Tanner, who was nominated by
William Asper and Alfred Solomon,
two Of the three original executors
named in the will, to serve as the third
executor, in place Of August W. Carl
son, declined, withdrew as an executor,
and the question of admitting the will
to probate and commissioning Asper
and Solomon as the executors viii
come uo for settlement at the same
time the matter of their giving bond
is decided.
Pending the prObating of the will,
William Asper is serving as special ad-
ministratOr of the estate, under ap-
pOintment by the court.
With the petition for admitting the
will to probate the persons proposed
as executors estimated the value Ofthe
property left by the late churchman at
$50, 900, but the contesting heirs, Al
fred z. Raleigh, Philip, Daniel A,
Franklin, William NJ. and James a.
Raleigh, declare their belief that the
estate consists of much property not
mentioned.
The grounds of the protest against
the administration Of the estate &C
cording 10 the provisions of the will,
as stated in the notice Of contest filed
before Messrs. Brown & Henderson
were called into the case, are that the
heirs cannot get full justice from any
member Of the Mormon church acting
as executor of the viii, because the
church IS made a beneficiary there
under, and it is to the interest of all
concerned that the executors be at
least placed under bond The contest
ants, however, prefer that the viii be
disresarded in the administration of
the estate. and that an administrator
be appointed to settle up the affairs
Of the late bishop according to law.

versed yesterday in the district court

zenith viii Remain.
The officers at Fort Douglas are
about convinced that the department
has no intention of transferring any
part of the Eighteenth, the continued
absence of orders contributing to this
belief. As an evidence of Major
YCUng's opinion. d force of men was
put to work yesterday remodeling the
old gymnasium as a mess room for
companies X and L. The amount of
work being done would not be neces-
saTy if the companies were to leave the
post within a short while, but as there
is a prospect of the crowded condition
existing for some time, the new mess
hall is considered absolutely necessary.
There is a good deal of talk anon

decision to keep companies K and L
