OPERATORS MEET
IN SALT LAKE CITY
ANNUAL REUNION OF TELEGRA-
PHERS-MORE THAN TWO HUN
DRED OLD-TlMERs PRESENT.
[BY ASSOCIATED pREss.1


Salt Lake City, Sept. Io.-Telegraphcrs
OF the long ago, including a few who
served in the military telegraph corps dur
Ing the civil war, met in Salt Lake today
In the annual reunion of the Old Time
Telegraphers and Historical association
and the society of the United States Mil
itary Telegraph Corps.
Over 200 old timers, including large
delegations from New York, Chicago,
Pittsburg and other big telegraph centers,
met in the parlors of the Kenyon today,
transacted little formal business and
were taken in hand by local veterans of
the key for a thrce-days outing. The
program for their entertainment includes
trips to Saltair, Lagoon, Fort Douglas and
other local resorts, a ride through the fa-
nous Ogden canyon and possible visits to
some of the big mines.
The veterans were welcomed by Rev.
Simpkns of the Plymouth Congregational
church, Mayor Cochran of Montreal re-
spending in behalf of the old timers. Mil
waukee, Wis, was decided on as the place
Tor the next reunion, to take place in Sep

MAY PUT POLICE IN BAST|LE|
Mayor Davey, Chief of Police Reynolds, City
Attorney Lamb and Four Policemen May
Be Landed on Courts Order

Unless something unexpected happens
Mayor Davey, Chief Reynolds, City AZ
torney Lamb and four policemen will be
arrested by the sheriff of Silver Bow
county and brought before one Of the
judges of the Second judicial district TO
answer to the charge of contempt of
court. This is the result of an action
commenced this afternoon by the Montana
Jockey club.
Today's proceedings are an echo OF the
old clash between the city and county au-
thorities on the poolroom question and
are directly the result of raid made by
Chief Reynolds and his men at the race
track yesterday and the arrest Of Eddie
Sachs, well-known pool seller in the
employ of the Montana Jockey club.
1t will be remembered that in accord
ance with an ordinance passed by the city
council last July, concerning the selling of
pools on the races the chief attempted TO
arrest the booksellers at the track when
an injunction was issued by Judge Harney
restraining him.
Opened Up Full Blast.
This restraining order was the signal
for all the poolrooms to continue in busi-
ness, the council having concluded that
there was no use attempting prosecu-
tion. The order, however, was considered
by the chief to be in operation during the
continuance of the 62 days racing, and
yesterday he took four policemen with him
to the track and arrested Sachs for viola
ton of the city ordinance.
Now comes the Montana Jockey club. of
which Eddie Sachs is one of the stockheI-
ers and says it is going to fight the action
of the chief. Already papers are being
drawn UP asking the coa.t TO order the
arrest of the city officials so that they may
be brought before the judge to show cause
for their action and to explain whJ they
are not in contempt of court.
AS the case comes under the jurisdiction
of the county the sheriff's office will be
called upon to execute the warrant and the
mayor and the other officials will be taken
to the county Jail just as if they were
arrested for any other misdemeanor.
Will Have Bonds Ready.
Doubtless the officials will have bonds
ready, so that their time in custody may
be as short as possible. II is not improb-
able that the arrests will take place some
time tomorrow. AS there is not much

nohalVes, bayti, Sept. io.--An inycsti-
satoii made by correspondent of the

entrance OF this harbor, Saturday, shows

attempted to capture her, and that he
apparently went down with his shin. The
PANTHER, which had previously attempteI
to board the Crete a Pierrot, the latter
being moorcd to the shore, reversed her
engines when the magazine exploded. and
one hour after fired 80 shots from her guns
at l"e Crcte-a-Pcrrot in order to finish
the work Of sinking her. The Panther
then left Aonaiycs.
1t is claimed that the rifles and machine
guns OF the Cretc-a-Pierrot have been
saved.
The body OF Admiral Kilnck was recoy-
cred Saturday afternoon and was buried
the same evening.
Went Down With Ship.
The surgeon of the Crctc-a- Pierrot, who
was asleep in his cabin and two sailors of
tnat vessel, perishcd.
The Panther is expected to reach Cape
Haytien on Friday. A newspaper of Port
au-Prince. July ID, contained the follow
ing telegram from Admiral Kilick to Gem
eral Boiserond ~anal, provisional governor
Of Hayti:
"Gonaivcs, July Ia.-Boiserond Canal,
au-Prince.-Killick does not fear any
thing. Will blow up his ship and COM
pany for the sake of the national honor.
You alone remain responsible"
Previous to sending the message to
general Canal, it appears, Admiral Killick
had received orders from the latter to
give up his vessel to Lieutenant Reid, his
second in command and it was also re-
ported that the provisional government had
requested the Unitea States gunboat Mari
eta and the French cruiser 'Assis to
capture the Crete-a- Pierrot; hence the
defiant dispatch to General Doiserond

to the county officers where they VIII put

There is considerable speculation about

City Attorney Lamb had the following
to say in regard TO the matter. III the
county attorney thinks he can do some
good by issuing complaints against tho
chief of police and myself, why he should
go ahead and do it.
But the charge OF contcnp, of court
is ridiculous. ! have not committed con-
tempt Of court and ! speak advisedly

ception of what constitutes contempt as
has Mr.. Brccn.
Judge llarncy issued an order which,
would not allow the city TO interfere with
the carrying OH of the races by the Mon
tana Jockey club at the track and the work
OF the booksellers. This order we re-
spectcd and obeyed. But that which is
now going on at the track is another
proposition. The Montana Jockey club
giduals are making a bluff at carrying OH
a racing meet and at the same time are
selling pools on outside races
This is an open violation CT the law.
