DELEGATE moRITzs RECORD.

EoRGETFUL OF THE FACT that
/ there is a printed record of the
proceedings OF the constitutional con-
vention. the misguided friends Of the
Honorable Jacob Moritz, brewer and
saloonkeeper. and Republican nominee
for the state senate, are urging his rec
ord as a delegate to that convention
as a reason why he should now be
elected to the state senate. A careful
investigation Of the official reports
fails to show that Moritz developed any
statesman-like qualities.
We find that during the sixty-six
days the convention was in session he
made Just three motions. One OF these
was to secure a telephone. another was
TO discharge the committee on furui-
ture and site. and the third was for
each delegate 10 keep the seat he then
occupied. During the sixty-six days
the convention was IN session, Moritz
spoke six times. -Four OF his six
speeches. oficially reported. take up
four lines or less each in the record.
Ii should be understood, too, that the
lines extend only half across the page
and contain about six words each.
The most important speech made by
this able statesman is reported on page
1910 Of the second volume. proceedings
Constitutional Convention. 1885, In
order that the voters OF Salt Lake
county may understand the high intel
ligence OF Moritz. in order that they
may fully appreciate his great worth

herewith reproduces that speech in full.
as follows:
'Mr. Chairman" he said, in begin
ming, IT hope the motion to strike out

perience IN this matter. I have en-
gagged a great deal of laboring men dur
Ing my time. the last twenty-three
years in Utah, and / found such a sec
ton as this, the way it is amended, is
quite unnecessary. We. as manufac-
turers (meaning the great brewing and
saloonkeeping industry he represented,
the makers Of beer and the manufac-
turers OF drunkards), had no cause
whatsoever Of getting justice in arbi-
tration.
1T was always a one-sided affair II

Ing men. They have demanded certain
hours and certain amount of wages per
month, and If we did not like it, they
say, we viii 90 out, we viii quit The
consequence was we looked around for
some other skilled labor to take these
gentIemen's places. If they would insist
upon IL. We found we could not obtain
that kind OF labor which Is desirable
for our business; therefore, we were
handicapped and the consequences have
been we have had to give in every
time. We had no arbitration. 1t was
merely a matter OF bulldoZing ar
rangement, and. therefore, I hope the
striking out viii not prevail, and such
a matter as this is asked for win b.

AS It is impossible to tell from
Moritz's remarks what he is talking
about. except that he seemed very anx-

that he was protesting against a mo-

AS an echo of the. Dumas centenary
celebration comes a new volume, AL
exander Dumas (pere)," by Arthur Da-
wilson, which gives an interesting ac-
count of the novelist's life and relates
many stories of him. According to one
of these tales. Dumas hit upon the
name of his most famous romance in
the following manner:
He was out on a shooting expedition
with young Prince Napoleon. son OF
Jerome Bonaparte, in 1872. and after
violent storm reached Elba. While
exploring they discerned a lake, sugar
loaf shaped. standing out of the sea.
"Ah." said the boatman. that's
where you would have got good sport.
Yonder island is full Of wild goats
Indeed? What may its name be-"
They call it the island of Monte
Cristo."
Dumas later persuaded his compan-
ion 10 row around the island in or
der to know more about its posses
sions.
whats the use of that?" said the
prince.
Because" was the reply, II intend
in memory of this trip with you to give
the name of Monte Cristo to some
novel which / shall write later on"
| When Dumas made arrangements for
his book called impressions de Voy-
age dams Paris" his publishers urged
that his novel should be a sensational
romance, and Dumas eontrived an in
trigue involving rich aristocrat
known as lie Conte de Monte Cristo."

LOST OR STOLEN
Lady Visiting Richmond Meets
With Severe Misfortune.
Detectives Searching.

Lost or stolen. some nine hundred dol
lars worth of jewels. including three
diamond rings, one breastpin and plain
gold ring, have set the detective bureau
to work. The missing Jewels were the
property of Mrs. z. a. Zoberbier. who is
stopping with Mrs. Gertrude NJ. r. THAI
man at No. $40 North Fifth Street Sneak
thieves OF burglars. probably sneak
thieves. are held to bs responsible for
the gems. which disappeared on either
last Monday or Tuesday. the loss being
discovered only on Wednesday at noon.
When the case was first reported to
z tho police it was supposed that Della
sBlouilt, a. negro woman who had been at
work in the house during Monday and
Tuesday, was the thief, but when taken
into custody and examined in the pres
ence Of Mrs. zobcrbier, it was shown
definitely that she could have had notf-
{ Ing TO do with the case, and she was
dischardeg. Meanwhile other cities in
this part of the country have been mott
fed of the loss and a sharp lookout
is being kept. There is little probability
that the jewels were disposed of In Rich

MIS-. Zoberber. to whom the jewels
belonged. is the wife OLA manufacturing
jeweler Of Seattle, Wash. and she has
been in Richmond some three or four
weeks. Her estimate of the value of the
stolen jewels is about nine hundred dol
lars, but owing to the fact that each
piece. there are nine pieces altogether,
was the handiwork of her husband him
self she attaches a great sentimental
~ alue to the collections
immediately after the discovery Of the
disappearance of the gems an energetic
search was begun by Mrs. zoberbier and
Mrs. .Talman. and this resulting in moth

tive Wren was assigned to the case and
went to the house. With the two ladies
he searched infinitely in all sorts OF

over the house and around it, without
result. Then Detective Wren went after
