UPRISING AGAINST ANARCHY.
Postmaster Thomas Speaks of At
tempted Assassination.

Postmaster Thomas Speaks of At
tempted Assassination.
Postmaster Arthur L. Thomas is
deeply affected by the attack on the
president.
u first met Mr.. Mckinley when he
was elected to congress in 1871" said
Mr.. Thomas. AT that time 1 was clerk
of the house of representatives 1 be-
came quite well acquainted with Mr..
Mckinley. and It was principally
through his influence that i was APP
pointed secretary of the territory Of
Utah in 1879.
Mckinley was accounted a strong
man from the time he entered the
house. He gained friends rapidly and
he made a steady. sure growth, in
power and influence in congress. He
has been attacked as a man who did
not possess great strength of character.
Nothing '5as ever farther from the
truth. 1 lave come into close contact
with him on many occasions, and /
know him to be a man of great
strength or character in spite of his
pleasant, suave ways. For example,
it required man of great strength of
character to follow the course he did
in the national convention of 1858. From
every part of the hall came the shouts
for Mckinley Mckinley" The tide
was setting toward him and be could
have been nominated with a whoop.
If he had been nominated he would
have gone into the presidential chair.
But he refused to take the prize when
il was within his grasp. He went up on
the platform and made a speech for
bidding his friends to vote for him and
urging them to vote for John Sherman.
When a man win refuse such a desir-
able thing IS the presidency like that
it shows he must have strength OF
character.
personally the president was above
reproach. That is well known. He was
devoted 70 his invalid wife. He was a
strong man and a good man, and his
loss. IL he dies. VIII be a great national
calamity.
Il think this event viii result in a
great popular uprising against anarchy.
] hope that stringent measures will be
adopted to put a stop to anarchy. The
root Of the trouble lies in our immlgra-
ton laws, and politics should be put
aside when the question Of restricting
immigration is up for legislation"

OPPOSED sTRUBLE BILL.
How Mckinley Received a Salt Lake
Delegafion


Spencer ClawsOn is among the Salt
Lakers who have met President Nc
hlnley. IT was in 1889, during the time
the president was chairman of the
ways and means committee of the
mouse, when party was sent from
Utah, headed by Mr.. Clawson and w.
h Rowe. to use their efforts to defeat
the Struble bill, which contemplated
the disfranchisement of the NIornons.
Mr.. Rowe and myself called on the
president at his hotel. the Ebbett
house, said Mr.. Clawson. land pre-
scented our cards with a letter of intro
duction from a prominent New York
merchant. The colOred servant re-
turned with the cards and remarked
that Mr.. Mckinley was very busy but
would see us. We were ushered into a
suite of rooms actually crowded with
parties waiting to see the chairman.
put the servant made an opening
through the crowd and escorted us into
MI Mckinley'S presence. He greeted
us very cordially, and said that the
committee, which was then in ses-
sion IN his room, would be only too
glad TO hear US on our side of the
question. We stood there and addressed
the committee on the proposed meas
ure. the chairman graciously allowing
il to take precedence over every other
matter of business, and when we had
finished, I Will never forget how Nc
Kinley came around the table and,
.
Gentlemen, 1 am glad to have had the
pleasure of meeting you. / knew the
StruDle bill. but not as you have shown
II to me. You have my pledge that l
shall use all my influence and make
every effort TO defeat it,.
1.-The bill was defeated. 1t seemed to
me at this time that / had never met
such a man as Mckinley. Before we
left he was as cordial as a lifelong
acquaintance, and when the possibility
of his nomination for president was
first talked of, I recalled my only meet
ing with him and thought to myself he
was the best man in the whole nation
for the place. 1 believe his admins
tration has been equal to that OF any
president Of my time. True. he has
had only industrial matters and a
small war to handle. but he certainly
has proved himself equal to those
emergencies.
Mr.. Clawson relates how he ascend
ed the steps of the White House when
in Washington last spring as freely as
he might walk into the city and count y
building. there being no guard or pa
trolman in the vicinity. When some
one suggested that the president would
be out in a moment the few bystand-
ers waited around until President Nc
out escort, and took carriages to attend
the Victoria memorial service. Whicr
occurred on that day.
''It struck me-" continued Mr.. Claw
son, how easily q fiend so inclined
might have murdered the president
and his entire cabinet by throwing 8
bomb in their midst or even by using z
revolver. I am dumfounded that in
America. where there is such a spirit
of freedom. there could be even one
man wretched enough. insane enough
to commit deed OF this kind"

have known of Hubbard's actions be-
fore the prosecution commenced. Not
all of the witnesses for the prosecution
will be put OF the stand, as the defense
has expected. One of the prosecution s
witnesses, Matte Thompson, the little
girl who was Helen Knox's companion,
will, it is declared, be among the alb
sent ones at the trial. On this point
Judge Powers said yesterday that he
had volunteered to bring her down
from Basalt, Ida, if the prosecution
would put her on the witness stand.
but his offer had been rejected. He re-
marked that this witness did not tell
the same story to him that she did to
the prosecution, and some of the other
witnesses would also contradict their
statements.
District Attorney Eichnor declined to
discuss the features of the case before
the trial, and Judge Powers was also
disinclined to outline the campaign
planned for the defense.

David Keith, who was a warm per-
sOnal friend of President Mckinley,
felt the shock caused by the news with
all the force of a personal bereavement
There was no necessity for the shoot
ing" said he, sadly. President Nc
kinley didn't have a personal enemy
in the world. This man, nor any other
man, could show where Mckinley had
deliberately done him a wrong. The
utter uselessness of it all is the sad
dest part Of the tragedy to my mind.
What can be done with the criminal 1
don't pretend to say. The disposition
of his case must necessarily be an in
significant matter until we know GER
tainly whether or not the president will
recover Let us all earnestly hope that
his life may be spared for his country
for many years yet"

Mrs. Bradley Gets a Divorce.

Judge Morse yesterday granted a di-
vorce TO Florence Young Bradley from
her husband, Robert S. Bradley, whom
she married in this city on June "a, 1890
The defendant was in default by con-
senting TO be adjudged so, and the
plaintiff was represented by Attorneys
Snow & Bowman. The allegations in
the complaint were substantiated by
the testimony of Mrs. Bradley and
Joseph 4. Young. both of whom de-
clared that on or about Jan. 1, 1900, the
defendant deserted and abandoned his
wife and three children and since then
has wilfully failed to provide fo- their
support Mrs. Bradley was awarded
the custody of her children and the ex-
penses of her suit against defendant.

Proposed Extension of the Ru-
raj Free Delivery.

H. ]. Ormsby, special agent OF the
postofice department with headquar-
tiers at Denver, said yesterday that
several new rural free delivery routes
would shortly be established in Salt
Lake county. Mr.. Ormsby has been
here a week looking over the ground.
AS a result of his investigation he will
probably report in favor of establish
ing routes sufficient to give free rural
delivery on all the Inhabited roads of
the county from the southern limits OF
the city to Oliver station on the Rio
Grande Western.
Two new routes are to be started out
of Calder's park, one out of Murray,
one out of Sandy and a new one at
Riverton. Changes are to be made in
the routes already established at Muir
ray, Sandy and Bingham. The change
at the latter place will enable practic-

of the defendants had at the time of
their conviction, they were also licensed
BY the municipality to conduct n cafe

gued that the ordinance against females

is unconstitutional being class legisla-

hibitive messure City Attorney Stephens
replied to the argumen. by contending
that t1e ordinance against women visit
ing wine rooms in saloons is a reasonable
and necessary regulation IN the interest
Of public morals, and is fully authorized
by legislative enactment expressed in the
city charter. Numerous citations from
parallel cases were submitted TO the
court by both. sides.

their mail without being put to the
necessity Of going to the postoff1ce after

will be so made as 70 cover more ter
ritory and reach a greater number of
residents
Another postoffice change which will
be inaugurated the middle of this
month or the first of next will be of
great interest to Ogden people. The
railway mail division of the Southern
Pacific is to be cut in two. Instead of
the clerks running through from Ogden
to San Francisco and having their lay
off on the coast, they will run only to
Reno and then double back to Ogden
for a lay-off.
The new order Of things will involve
the employment of some forty-th
men. practically all of whom will make
their homes IN the Junction City.
