READY FOR VAN EURAN TRIAL
BOTH SIDES READY TO PROCEED
WITH CASE.
Each Side Blames the Other for the
Delay-van Kuran Wants to Ex-
anime the Books.

There is some difference of opinion as
to the cause Of the long and unusual
delay in the preliminary trial of A. J..
Van Kuran, former treasurer of the
Oregon Short Line. who is charged
with embezzling $500 of the company's
funds. County Attorney Christensen
says the defense is responsible for the
delay Judge Powers declares the de-
tense is waiting for the prosecution to
get ready. Mr, Christensen stated
yesterday he understood that Judge
Powers, Van Kuran's attorney had
been absent from the city. and for this
reason it, was impossible TO proceed
with the trial He expressed the opin-
ion that the prisoner would be taken
before one of the committing magiS-
trates for preliminary hearing toward
the end of this week, but the prosecu-
ton was still waiting for the defense
to say when it is ready to go on with
the proceeding.
Judge o. W. Powers said yesterday
that he was ready to try the case at
any time He did not like the impress
sion that has gone out that the de-
Tense is responsible for the delay. He
stated that one request. was made for
a few days time. but the delay now
was. caused by the absence of Assist

borrow, who is attending to some
business in Butte. and who will not
return for some days.
We still hope to get bail for Mr..
Van Kuran," Judge Powers went on,
and when we are successful we Will
look through the Short Line books.
The officials of the road are very Will
ing to have such an inquiry made, and
they would be glad to learn that the
so-called shortage is only the result Of
errors in bookkeeping"

LAID PIPE THROUGH TUNNEL
IMPORTANT WORK DONE BY
POWER COMPANY.
Task That Would Ordinarily Require
Four Days Was Accomplished in
Twenty Hours.

The Utah Light & Power company
accomplished an important piece of
work Sunday last in putting a pipe
through the tunnel at the mouth or
Ogden canyon through which all the
water Of their power plant has been
running. 1t was necessary to shut off
the water while this work was being
done, and furnish all the power needed
through the Cottonwood plants and the
steam plants in this city. For this rea-
son the time for doing the work was
limited, and so well was the matter
planned that the work that would or
dinarily have consumed four DAYS was
done in twenty hours
Inc length of the tunnel is los feet.
ana the pipe TO be put in was six feet
IN diameter, made of wooden slaves.
Inc water was shut off at 80 SUNDAY

the tunnel at work. Twenty-four men
were on the job, and were not per-
united TO stop to eat or s-eep till the
work was done and the water turned
INTO the pipe at $3.50 Sunday night.
Coffee and sandwiches were passed
around TO the men While they worked

LII SING MUST GO.
Chinaman VIII Be Deported from the
United States.

Washington. March 1S.-The United
States supreme court announced today,
through Justice Shiras, it's opinion in
the case of Ii Sing. a Chinaman, who
was taken into custody at Malone, n.
Y, in 1891 on the ground that he has Sc
cured admission to the United States
on fraudulent pretext.
Ii Sing left this country in 1898, hav-
ing previously to that time resided in
the state Of New Jersey. He carried
with him a certificate from the Chinese
consul at New York. stating that the
holder was a merchant. His arrest
was made upon the ground that he was
not a merchant, but a laborer.
The United States commissioner be-
fore whom he was first taken investi-
gated the matter and found the charge
to be based upon fact. He held, there
fore. that Ii was improperly in the
United States. and issued a decree that
the man should be deported. The Chi
naman then took the case into the
United States courts on a petition for a.
writ of habeas corpus. The opinions of
those courts were uniformly opposed
to the Chinaman. and their opinions
were confirmed by tOdays opinion.
The principal contention in the case
was that the decision OF the officers
submitting the. Chinaman in the first
instance rendered it incompetent in the
United States commissioner to review
the case, but the court held differently
Ii Sing will be deported.
