DEyINE IS GAINING
Fire Chief Likely to Have Big
Majority of Salt Lake Coun-
ty Delegation.

The prediction was made yesterday
that James Devine, the chief of the
fire department, will succeed in elect
ing about 100 OF the Isl delegates 10
the state convention. The remaining
fifty-one will be distributed between
Joseph Howell Daniel Harrington and
George A. Smith, receiving support in
the order named.
II would not surprise some 20 see
Mr.. Howell defeated in the state con-
vention for the congressional nOmina-
ton. II is said his strength today is
not as formidable as il was a month
ago. In the meantime. il is limited
that the powers behind the throne
have been doing some very effective
work on the quiet, which. from a dis
lance. looks as though Mr.. Howell
does not stand in the same favorable
light with them today that he did a
few weeks ago.
There is a feeling in certain quar-
tiers that Mr.. Howell is too much OF a
Sutherland man to suit the Kearns-
SmOOt combination; that the nOmina-
ton of the would-be congressman
would not help the chances of Apostle
Smoot for the United States senate.
If that be true. il would not surprise
many 10 see Mr.. Howell lose the NOM
nation
Who will receive the nomination, il
is whispered. depends very largely
upon the result of the conference
which the big guns will hold with
Senator Kearns when he returns from
the east.

FARO SAVED A MANS LIFE.
Judge Won $4,000 and Divided It
With Despondent Friend.
tChIcago mo Ocean.l

The other day when / was in Phila
delphia' said a New York man. II was
told how one of their millionaires,
Peter A. b. Widener, walked the
streets all night once with $4,000 in
his pocket, wondering how he was go
ing TO invest Il so as 10 double IL. Now,
I'll tell you a story of another man
who walked all night.
"A judge of a county court in the
upper end of my state came 20 town
10 play faro. His name was Bertram.
He never played cards at home. but
he used 10 come 10 my town and go up
against 1t for a week at a stretch. He
was usually a winner.
The night I have in mind Judge
Bertram met an old friend who had
been running down at the heel finan-
cially. until he looked like a cripple
He frescoed his story up pretty well
10 the judge. who was a peculiar COM
binatiOn. When BeTtram was a winner
at faro he would divide his pile with
any friend. but he would let the same
friend starve before ne would help him
until he had shaken the hank, as he
put il, when he won. His unfortunate
friend told him ne was going to jump
into the river that night unless he got
some help. The faro bank was on the
upper floor Of a building that stood
facing the river. BertTam said To the
rundown man:
-" You go down on the ievee and walk
up and down until / give you signal
that l have made a winning. If
shake the bank. you'll get some Of the
dust. II you don't see me signal. jump
into the river. You are no good with
out money, anyway
1T was a bargain and they separ-
ated. the judge 10 win or lose. his
friend to win or die. All night the
Judge won and lost alternately. Some
times he had a few measley whites on
card which looked like poor rela-
ton.
Meantime the man on the river
front was walking. looking at the dark
flow of the water like the poor unfor-
tunate in Hoods Bridge OF Signs,
anon CHANGING up at the windows in
the gambling room. A terrific thun-
derstorm broke over the town, and
stu the man walked along the river
front until he was drenched 20 the
marrow in his sh!vering bones.
in the gray Of the morning. with
sheets of rain still falling upon the
scene. Judge Bertram left the game a
$40 600 winner. and walked down 10 the
river front, where his impecunious
friend was shivering.
4 expected 10 find you in the river.
said the judge. I didn't signal. be-
cause / made u all in a heap.
If IL hadn't been for the rain. said
his friend. 4 might have jumped. but
1 said 10 myself. What's the use; you
are already wet through, and If the
rain keeps on you'll drown on land
The judge called a hack. and the
two drove 10 the best hotel in town
and had breakfast They left town to-
gether. A year later they owned one
OF the biggest cattle ranches in Colo
RADIO.
1T was the judges last game. and
il was the last time his friend ever did
any walking. Bertram is dead. but his
partner has interests stretching across
the continent, IN Hawaii and Japan.

FRAUD is CHARGED.
Salt Lake Parties Bring Suit Against

Salt Lake Parties Bring Suit Against
Mining Promoter.
In the district court yesterday suit
was begun for $lS,5OO damages against
Arthur Murphy, said 10 be a mining
broker and promoter. by a number of
local men who claim 20 have been in
weighed frauduleEtly into a mining
scheme. The plaintiffs are c. h. Cole.
Henry Cole. Frank Cole. f. S. Darling.
George W. Proctor, Frank Proctor,
John White, d. A. Proctor and Israel
Cole.
They allege in the complaint that the
defendant in September of last year
represented that he held an option for
the purchase of the Pioneer mining
claim. situated in the American Fork
mining district In Utah county. and in
duced the plaintiffs to convey 20 him
certain mining claims in the said dis
trict adjoining the Pioneer claim. The
claims mentioned are the Good Luck.
Lookout and Eldorado. also Good Luck
No. ?, suituated in the Little Cotton
wood mining district in Salt Lake
county.
II is charged that the defendant in
duced the plaintiffs to join in the con-
veyance, and further represented to
them that he would organize a mining
corporation to be known as the Pioneer
Consolidated Mining company, and
would convey the Pioneer claim and
the claims secured from the plaintiffs
TO the said corporation which would
issue 300, 600 shares of stock of the par
value of 81 each, in payment. The com
plant further charges that the defend
ant agreed TO pay the plaintiffs for
their mining claims 81 900 in cash and
transfer them $1,000 shares Of stock in
the corporation.
The plaintiffs declare that all the
representations of the defendant were
false and fraudulent; that he never
had an option for the purchase Of the
Pioneer claim, and never intended to
organize the corporation and issue
stock as stated. They say that the de-
PENDANT has failed to keep his prom
Uses and representations. and that they
have, in consequence. suffered dam
ages in the sum teted.

Few popular fallacies are of such wide
extent as the belief that a person must
rise 10 the surface three times. no more
ana no less. before he can possibly
drown There is little ground for this
supposition. although it has been almost
universally believed In for generations.
The truth is that a drowning person may
sink the first time never to rise again,
or ne may. as he indeed does in the ma
1oritY of cases. rise three times before
he sinks forever. IL all depends upon the
quantity of water that he swallows when
&c sinks and the size OF his lungs The
human BODY in life naturally floats while
the lungs are inflated. AS long as one

WILLIAM GIBSON IN RED BUTTE CANYON

Z William Gibson, an employe in the
rock quarries in Red Butte canyon, had
a miraculous escape from terrible
death Wednesday. He was sitting on
"A ten-ton rock when the boulder began
rolling down the steep decllyity of the
canyon. The stone rolled over Gibson,
and he rolled 800 feet down the canyon,
barely escaping with his life. He is
now in Holy Cross hospital in a critical
condition
According TO the statement of those
who attended Gibson. an unusually
large rock had been quarried out of the
side Of the hill. and in order 10 handle

to the horror of those who saw IL, the
mass of rock passed directly over the
body OF the workman, and continued its
course down the hill. Gibson himself
rolled about 800 feet down the hill and
was picked up by his companions. They
expected, Of course 10 find him crushed

States Smashed.
The convention smashed many Of the
states that had been prepared early in
the day, and still later in a conference
held at noon. One of the sensations of
the day was an attempt to induce John
w. Wattawa, the nominee for lieuten-
ant governor, TO withdraw from the
ticket, because OF certain rumors con-
corning him. Mr.. WattaWa refused alb
solutely to entertain the proposition,
and the conferees set about to fix up
a slate for the remainder of the ticket,
which. TO their minds, would be a win
per. In this they were far from being
successful, for. with but two excep-
tions, more than one name went before
the convention.
The biggest surprise OF the day was
the turning down of a resolution. Just
before the convention adjourned, en-
dorsing the national platform. While
the delegates gave a respectful hearing
10 It's reading, it was not entertained
for an instant.
Resolutions Not in Order.
Just before final adjournment w. H.
Rogers of Madison offered the follow
Ing resolution:
We, the Democrats Of Wisconsin. in
convention assembled. reafirm our al
iegiance TO the Democratic party and
us policy, as enunciated in its national
platform"
Scarcely had Mr.. Rogers finished
reading the resolution when another
delegate arose to a point of order and
| stated that early in the convention il
was decided TO refer all resolutions to
a committee on resolutions. Still an
/ other delegate made a motion 10 ad-
Journ. This was put and adopted with
| Almost unanimous vote, there being
not over two or three feeble protests
The resolution, therefore, was com
pletely ignored. The convention then.
