Mr.. Bowen, it is reported, wishes to

while the state department makes no

nection with the project TO refer the
matter TO The Hague tribunal, that in
some phases the disputes will not adj

CLEAR CASE OF MURDER
Result of the Inquest on Body of
the Man Found Near
Evanston, Wyo.
(Special to The Herald

Evanston, Wyo., Dec. 19.-Sensational
developments in the case ef the man
found near the track OF the Short Line
four miles west of Opal yesterday show
that it is q case of murder beyond doubt.
An inquest was held this afternoon, the
jury bringing in a verdict showing that
death was caused by a blow over the
head with fishplate and knife wound
in the neck, either one being sufficient 10
cause death. The man was identified as
p. S. Kaufman. who had been working
on a ranch in the New Fork country for

THE exposure by The Herald Of the
frightful condition of affairs ex-
listing in that section Of the city
once known as Hyde avenue and now
as Victoria alley, has thoroughly
aroused the indignation Of the reputa-
bic portion of the Salt Lake public.
They are vigorous in their insistence
that the city officials at once take ac-
ton in the matter Of cleansing q sink
of crime and corruption where young
children are debauched and murder
and robbery is rampant
The Herald's account of the methods
pursued by Joseph ]. Smell in anaassing
a fortune through the rental cOntribu-
tons of unfortunate women, and Of
the way in which young boys are led
illto the ways of crime by the wretched
dwellers on the alley, has been cOr~eh-
arated by the story of Special Oh1cer
G. A. White who, in the. performance OF
his duty during four years of service,
has been in closer touch with eondi-
tiOns in the alley than any one else.
Mr.. White says that words fail in
describing the condition of affairs
which exists among the depraved women
who live in the alley, and that the
manner in which school boys are lured
TO their ruin daily cannot be pictured
too strongly
Fir. Critchlow Is Indignant
z. B. Critchlow, a member of the
board of education, was astOunded at
the exposure and could not use words
/ strong enough to express his indigna-
/ ton at the condition of affairs now eX-
! listing, where city authorities supposed
/ to safeguard the children fail signally in
| their duty. Mr. Critchlow asserts thar
he viii at once call the attention OF
| President Newman of the board to the
outrage, and that if he does not act as
/ a member of the board in the matter
/ hn will himself swear out a warrant
against Joseph j. Smell. charging him
with violation of the city ordinances.
This criticism is not confined TO Mr.
| CritchlOw alone. A universal demand
is being made by the fathers of fam
/ lilies and those interested in the vel
fare of the boys Of the city, that the
| chief of police at once take action an
