WHITE GIRL CAN'T
MARRY HAWAIIAN

The question Of the legality, under
the laws Of this state, Of issuing a mar
rlage license TO fullblood Hawaiian
and white person was raised in the
county clerks Office late yesterday af-
ternoon, when a native Of Hawaii, ac-
companied by a white girl about l6
years OF age applied for license to
wed. The father Of the girl accom-
panied the couple to give his consent
to the issuance Of the license
The trouble over tho immature age of
the girl was easily overcome, but the
point which was raised by the county
clerk as to the nationality Of the in
tended groom was not so easy. He ad-
united that he was n Hawaiian and he
was Informed that license would not
be issued until a legal opinion was OBJ
tanned from the colGty attorney. He
was told to call this afternoon and
learn the result Of the deliberations OF
that county official.
When the couple returns TO the clerks
office they will undoubtedly be very
much disappointed for County Attor-
ney Christensen Informed County Clerk
James today hat he was Of the opinion
that the lices'e should not be issued
He holds that, according TO the decls-
ions Of the Utah supreme court, n Ha.
waiian Is a member of the Monaghan
race and, as marriage between a Mon.
golian and a white person Is prohibited
in this state, the clerk x~nnot legally
issue a leoennse to such persons.
The only recourse for the couple Is
TO HE themselves to Wyoming or some
other state. where marriage between
such parties are not prohibited.

This Time Candy Stand Suffers Loss
From Robbers.

There was another burglary at Lib
erty Park last night. when one OF the
candy stands owned by w. s. Zimmer-
man was entered and almost cleaned
out. The thieves made such haul
that when Zimmerman went to the

The stand burglarlzed was known as
the north stand, being on the north
side OF the park. Before going there
the thieves attempted TO break into the
south stand but were frightened
away by A. S. Zimmerman, brother OF
the proprietor
The job was evidently done by a
smooth gang as the heavy combination

II Is believed that gang of tough boys

PARK CITY AFTER
THE COUNTY SEAT

At Next Election.

Repori That Zig miues viii Unite In
E1fortio Bring About Change Coai-
Vile People Stirred Up.

Park City, Summit county, has a
battle royal on It's hands, and 1t will
be fought out at the fall election. The
contest is none other than an attempt
by Park City to wrest the county seat
from Coalvllle. Already preparations
are making for the struggle, and the
methods being employed, 1t is said, are
such as to warrant the assertion that
II will be fight TO the bitter end For
years Park City has had covetous eye
ON the county seat, but thus far all ef-
forts to land II have been unayailing.
Now reports have IT, In sheer despera-
ton she viii try again. the idea being
TO win the day and perch victory upon
her banner.
A prominent resident Of that section
said today, that the big mines of the
Park were doing all In their power 10
help the movement; that some Of them
mad gone so far as TO post notices urg-
ING their men to support the cOntem-
plated change. and that II they didn't
do II the act would cost them their Jobs.
He said further that already some had
telt the weight Of this edlct, and that
one man In particular, whose interests
were all IN CoalyilIe, was simply dis
charged because he said he wouldn't
do II.
II IL understood that the more con-
servative element Of Summit are much
opposed to the proposed change. They
argue that Coalville Is more central and
has better advantages all round. Be-
sides. the county seat Is well estab-
lished there and to move II would mean
an outlay OF good many thousands
OF dollars, needless expenditure they
say, which they are not warranted In
giving support to. Being mining
camp, they regard Park City as unsta-
be, as mining camps go, and n
place. too, where living Is much
higher than In Coalvlle, so that II
would necessitate an increase In county
salaries, The county government Is
now run for $4,000 year, whereas, the
opponents OF the movement Idea say
Il would cost $4,000 or $4,000 TO oper-
ate from Park City.
While the News Is not in possess
sion of absolute facts in the case, the
statement above given comes from such
q well authenticated source that there
Is scarcely reason to doubt It's accu-
raev II would seem almost Incredible
that such means as those limited at
