IA MORNING MEETING.
Board of Public Works Acts on Propo.
 sition of trolley Company.

The board of public works held q short session this morning for the pur~ pose of considering the hearing Of the Oakville trestle case against the trol- ley company, which has been set down fo ra hearing in the superior court next Tuesday. The city approved the plan subject to certain conditions, but the company appealed to the railroad com 1lissioners, who authorized them to % under the bridge without any condition The city appealed to the supreme court. At to-day's session another proposition was submitted by the committee which the mayor and city attorney have under advisement, and which, if accepted. may put an end to the snarl. The. company is now willing to bear 55 per cent of the cost of removing the abut- ment in case it fails to throw the cost on the steam railroad. This is doing better than they agreed to before, but whether it is considered good enough is something which Is still an open question.

BISHOP MANN's LETTER.
Says There is a Disgraceful State of
 Affairs in North Dakota.

Says There is Disgraceful state or
 Affairs in North Dakota
 Grand Forks. N D.. March 5.-Bish- op Mann, of the Episcopal diocese of North Dakota, has given out the fol- lowing letter for publication:
 If no one else will say it publicly, the bishop of North Dakota must; that there is condition of things existing in our capitol city utterly disgraceful, corrupting and inexcusable.
 ''In the leading hotel of Bismark, the lowest vice haunts itself uncheck- ed and unrebuked. That hotel pre- sents the features of a saloon a gambling house and brothel. At least, it does so during the sessions of the legislature and many of the sena- tors and representatives board and lodge there.
 "What conception of law do our legislators possess? What respect for the laws they enact will the people possess while they supinely contem- plate such outrageous violations of le- gality, morality and decency?
 "When the matter comes up in con- versation 1t never does in any other way the usual remark is that classical one, what are you going 10 do about it
 "The lessee and manager of the place is political power; he sits in party councils he helps distribute the offices, he is demed able to aid or injure politi- cal aspirations.
 "Yes politics in the basest sense of the word, is responsible for this dis grace in North Dakota. The cowardice Of the respectable small politician, that most cowardly class of mankind, is the reason this thing goes on when it could be stamped out in day in ma- jority of the Bismark and North Da- kota people were fairly appealed to-
 He then appeals to the people of the state to take some. action to improve the conditions he alleges exist, and to the legislature to resent the imputa- ton that they are desirous of main taining such a place.

POPE LEO'S CONDITION.
His Physician Says He Is No
 Worse To-Day.

Visitors and Others, Except the Pom
 tiff's Nephew! Are Forbidden to See
 Him. -OYerwork and Overexcitement
 Brought About This Latest Attack,
 and His Doctor Thinks Few Days
 Rest Will Fully Restore Him.
 Rome, March 5.-Dr Lapponi visited the pope this morning and found him no worse, with regard to symptoms of any special illness. The physician has forbidden anyone to see the pontiff, ex- cept the latter's nephew, Count Ga millo Pecci, who entered the popes room as Dr Lapponi left it.
 The, fact is that the pontiff's physical prostration is due to overwork and over excitement which. however, leaves his mental faculties perfectly clear, won- derfully so, indeed. Therefore pr Lapponi thinks that a few days rest will restore the pope to his usual con dition. The physician also hopes that thelsuspension of audiences will induce the numerous pilgrims and noted per sons who are now in Rome to abandon the idea of seeing the pontim and thus avoid causing the latter further fla igue, which migh place him in serious danger.
 Rome, March 5.-The Rev Dennis R. OConnell, rector of the Catholic uni- versity at Washington. started for the united States to-day by way of Paris.

Father Zahm has been nego- t1ating with the French and catican au- thorities on the subject of the mem Ders of the religious orders remaining in France. It isA asserted that if the laws are strictly applied about 100000 persons belonging to fifty-three differ ent communities will eventually be ex- patriated Father Zahm is going to Paris to make provision for those who belong to his order in France, number ing altogether about 400 brothers and 600 sisters. It is proposed to transfer them to various colleges and parishes in the United States and Canada. The sisters have already moved their mother house to New York and have appointed an American mother su- perior at the request of the mother SUI perior here. Father Zahm has also ar ranged for the transportation of nearly 100 other French sisters to the United States.

THE TURF GAMBLER.


AS long as n man can have the
nerve to leave one or two races alone
each day." said a veteran trainer In
the paddock at Brighton Beach one
morning last week, there Is some hope
for him, but when he feels that he must
play every race, he Is gone; nothing
VIII save him"
But" questioned a novice in racing
matters, there must be few who go
that length?"
II have seen lots Of them. Some
years ago an old Kentuckian came on
here with n stable or horses which had
done pretty well IN the west, but were
somewhat outclassed around here. IL
he had stuck TO his own horses, how
ever, he would have got through the
season, but he went right at 1t, play
ing horses he knew very little about,
and losing steadily until he had to be-
gin selling off his own horses one by
one, until they were all gone, and he
had only a small bank roll to show for
them.
Having closed down his establish
ment, he was able to live very econom-
ically, but he kept on betting and los
ing until he had broken In on his last
hundred,
when the fifth race was called that
day he was standing right over there,
with NJ. II. Dryer, Green Morris and
Higgins, who is now In England
Mr., Dwyer looked over the card Tor
some minutes, and then said This Is a
big field, and not even good selling
platter In It. It's too tough for me. !

BIKE RIDERS
AFTER MONEY.
Suits to be Filed Against Salt
Palace Owner
Heath.
BATCHELDER IS HEARD FROM.
Thought Matter Was In the Courts
And Took No Action VIII Do
So Later.

The professional bicycle riders In
salt Lake who took part in the six day
race at the saucer track, are wonder
ing when they are going to receive the
$500 or so they claim Is due to them
for the two nights racing for which
they claim they were not paid.
II will be remembered that when the
season closed with the six day race
the riders claimed that the manage
ment owed them about $500. They
tried to collect II but got no satlsfac-
ton They then took their complaint
TO J. N. Sharp, Salt Lake official repre-
sentative of the N, c. A. Some OF
the boys left the state but before go
ing placed their claim In the hands of
the local riders After waiting for
some time for action to be taken, the
riders got together and decided to
place their case In the hands of Judge
w, II. King In the meantime Mr..
sharp wrote to Chairman Batchelder
and placed the whole matter before
that official, Batchelder was Informed
of the action of the riders IN giving
their case to an attorney and, laboring
under a misrepresentation. he took no
action Mr.. Batchelder wrote to Mr..
sharp recently and stated that mas
much as the case had been referred to
the courts he did not care to take any
action against the track management.
But the suit against the Salt Palace
people has not been filed as yet The
riders were holding off In the hope that
Mr.. Batchelder would rule that the
track management would have to pay
the riders before the track would be
permitted to do business again. This
action would undoubtedly have been
taken by Chairman Batchelder but for
the fact that he thought the suit had
already been filed. Mr. Sharp stated
to the News" that he had just re-
ceived word from the n. G. A. official
and that he fastened to reply and place
him right in the matter.
In the meantime the riders are be-
coming anxious. They say they want
their money, they need It, and unless
something Is done within the next few
days they will instruct their attorney
to begin suit. The boys are enthusiasts
