SENATOR CLARK'S BIG
NEW YORK CONCESSIONS

New York. April 25.-The Herald Is
authority for the statement that 1t Is
asserted 'that Senator William A.
Clark's millions are waiting to back
the enormously valuable concession
which has been made by the Legisla-
ture in the Rains bill giving the New
York Il New Jersey Bridge Company
the right to build Il viaduct along West
street from Forty-ninth street to the
Battery.
Reports that Senator Clark Is the
chief figure In the syndicate which Is
said to be behind the bridge bill are
said to be borne out by the fact that n
member of his family is prominently
connected with the project. DIR. Ev-
erett Mallory Culver. who married the
daughter of the Montana millionaire,
IL president Of the New Jersey Bridge
Corporation, which Is associated with
similar corporation headed by James
8. Clarkson In this state. In the great
enterprise.
Should all this be verified and should
Senator Clark come into Possession Of
the privileges given by the Legisla-
ture, he would be able to dictate
terms. 1t is said. to sixteen great rail-
ways which would have to use his
railway in order to obtain access to
the docks.

GENERAL CHAFFEE
TAKES A FIRM STAND

Pekin, April 24.-Many applications
have been made 20 Mr.. Rockhill and
General Chaffee by Chinese of all de-
grees for the retention in China of the
American troops until the general
withdrawal Of the troops by the pow
ers. Many of those who are making
this request think that the withdrawal
of the Americans will make the others
remain longer. The soldiers who re-
turn do so with all the honors Of war.
Field Marshal Won Waldersee has
made an application that the gate Of
the forbidden city be guarded by Ger
man troops after the departure Of the
Americans. General ChafYee has re-
piled that American soldiers will con-
tinue to guard the gate. At this the
Germans are indignant, saying this
impuens their honesty, and that II the
United States desires to do her share
of policing the city she should leave
behind enough troops for that purpose;
that merely few men belonging to
the legation guards should control the
gate which will remain within the
American quarter cannot be allowed.
II General Chaffee persists in this
course diplomatic representations will
be made in the matter.

Military Poll Tax o....,o..a

Denver, Colo, April 25.-The sRepub-
lican this morning says:
Upon his return from Pueblo Cover
nor Orman will meet with the military
board Of the state to discuss very Sc
rlous situation which now confronts
the National Guard. Auditor Crouter
has discovered that the new revenue
law makes no provision for the collec-
tion OF the military poll tax. Further,
the revenue bill "repeals all acts and
parts of acts in conflict herewith"
and this is construed to mean that the
law assessing the people dollar n
head as military tax has been repealed
with the others. The cost of support
ing the guard is $4,000 year and the
constitution of the state forbiis the
use of the general fund Of the state
for military purposes.

THE DEAD MORMON
LEADERS FAMILY

George O. Cannon, the great Mormon
leader and president OF the Mofnon
church, who died ut Monterey. Calfor'
mia, recently, leaves family consisting
Of Ave wives and thirty-two children
His flrst wife. Elizabeth n. Cannon.
by whom he had eleven children, died
in 1882. Seyen Of the children born OF
this union are also dead, and these are
all the deaths that have occurred III
the family.
The wives still living are Sarah Jane
Cannon. Eliza T. Cannon, Martna =.
Cannon, Emily H. Cannon and Carohne
7. Cannon. They are given In the or.
der of their marriages. The youngest
is the daughter of President Brigham
Young, and is the one who was with
him in Monterey through bis sickness
and at bis death. She 10 the wife
President Cannon continued to hve
with after the manifesto OF the churcn
against polygamy, and was known al
his legal wife.
While 1t Is stated above that Presi'
dent Cannon has thirty-two living chii.
dren, 1t must be explained that nve OF
them are step children. the offspring OF
Mark Croxall. After Mrs. Croxau was
divorced from her husband she mar
rIed President Cannon. Her children
are Ada Y, Caral Y. Mark Y, Tracy
Y, and Vera Y. Cannon. 1t is an In
teresting coincidence that these three
step-daughters married three sons OF
President Cannon by other wives ana
thus became daughters-in-law as weii
as steredaughters.
The church records show that Presi'
dent Cannon was the father OF thirty
four children, of whom twenty-seven
survive him.
The five wives still living have homes
at what is known as Cannon's Farm.
in the southwestern part or Sait LAKE
on the Jordan river This place has
been beautifully fitted up, and upon II
President Cannon lavished much care,
work and money. Each wife has her
own home and keeps up her own fam
lily establishment. 1t has been the Gus.
tom. however, for years past, for al
the families to eat together Mt the main
meal of the day: For this purpose a
fine large dining room was htted up IN
President Cannon's own home. here
he had his own individual table In the
center of the room and the different
family groups were arranged at other
tables around the room, each group
having Its own table. The other meals
of the day the families enjoyed at their
respective homes. The expenses Of the
different families have been paid out
Of the treasury Of the Cannon associn-
tion. which was organized to look after
business matters Of this kind.
George Quayle Cannon was born to
George and Ann Quayle Cannon In
Liverpool. England. on Thursday, jan
uary II, 1927. His parents were ma
tives OF the Isle of Man. and the Can
non family pedigree can be traced back
for centuries on that island.

DENVER NEN BREAK
POSTAL LAWS

Denver, Colo, April 25.-Patrons Of
the Denver posto6ice who have been
In the habit Of writing few words Of
personal Communication upo1 crcu-
lars and mailing the latter In lettefs
stamped with only the 1-cent permis-
slon to travel by mail. are being called
into postofilce headquarters ono by
one. During the present month ok Of
these persons, and some Of them bod
ness men OF considerable standing,
have been invited around, and with
each invitation has been the request
that 4 $40 nne be paid. 1t has been
very dinicult for the business men to
understand how they cnn be fined
without first being given trial, but
after little argument by Inspector
Sullivan they have paid rather than
submit to the publicity OF a trial. Each
man caught has been warned, how
ever, that the next infrnction would
not be treated so leniently.
Some mouths ago the clerks in the
Denver postoffice discovered by acci-
dent that one business man was max
ing a practice of adding few written
words to his circulars. an act that is
strictly inhibited by the postal reSu-
lations. Through curiosity the mall
deposited by several other persons
was watched, and 1t was found that
they. too, were violating the law.
Sometimes the writing was merely the
addition OF few words to designate
more clearly the place OF business Of
the sender. but by watching carefully
the inspector often found where mat
ter of a strictly personal nature had
been added. One Of the offenders was
q tombstone dealer who carefully read
the papers, aud when he discovered a
notice Of a death, wrote on his circu-
lar these words: Il notice in the -
that there has been death In your
family. II you should need a tomb
stone remember our firm" When the
proprietor was approached he claimed
he did not know he had been violating
the law, and said he would pay no
fine. He doubted the authority Of the
inspector to impose any fine.
WELL" said the inspector. ''it is this
way: Your patrons Will know that 1t
liz a violation Of the law. They will
know that you are trying to beat the
government out OF one cent. And don't
you suppose that they will think that
a man who will try to beat the gov
ernment will try to beat them?"
1t was putting the matter In new
light. The tombstone man paid his
nne and said he considered the infor-
nation cheap at the price. and would
be careful not to again violate the law.
The inspector has three or -four cases
that he has not yet acted upon.
