BECKLEY RULES
IN THE HOUSE

Speaker Beckley gave the House g
taste of his quality at the Afternoon
session and following as it did his
declaration that he could not be remov-
ed from office in spite of the rules OF
the House. the exhibition gave promise
that there will be some interesting
times in the lower branch of the Legis-
lature. Mr. Beckley will not resign, and
acting it is alleged on the advice of his
attorney, a former Republican leader, he
will make such a fight as viii give Zest
to the proceedings.
1t is a question which session furnish
ed the greatest sensation, for with the
speech of the chairman in the morning
and lis action in refusing to entertain
a &sson to adjourn in the afternoon
takfSS his choice between two motions
offered and seconded, one by Harris and
the other by Kupihea, there was an
element of excitement during the en-
tire day. The organization of the House
was completed by the selection of the
officers on the list, the voting demon
strating that the Republican members
gdo not seem to comprehend the mean
ing of a caucus. for there was in only
one instance the full strength polled for
a candidate, in another a man who was
turned down in caucus was elected on
the floor, and in a third a Republican
nominated an outsider.
The first sensation was sprung when
the House was called to order and the
minutes were read and translated. I'm
medfately this was concluded Speaker
Beckley began to speak, and slowly and
distinctly, acting as his own translator,
he said:
yesterday when we convened 1 had
the honor of your confidence in being
elected Speaker of this House. Within
the last twenty-four hours matters
have changed somewhat A few MIN
utes previous to our coming together
this morning 1 was approached by
Committee from the Central COMMITTEES
Aef the opposition party, who asked me
70 resign the Speakership in the interest
OF party harmony so far as the Repuol-
can party is concerned.
In the interest of the people was
made Speaker of this House, L have
consulted with my colleagues, and, in
the words of the National Committee
MANI will stand pat by the people and
The laws of the country advise you
10 Isl well enough alone.
According to the law there can be no |
regal action by this body in any matter
without my signature as Speaker. There
is no parliamentary rule under which
Speaker can be removed after having
Deen legally elected and no motion
lg TO that end will be entertained

Republicans as responsible for the
legislation of the session, will control
the Legislature. This was decided upon
at the meeting of the majority members
last evening with the leaders of the
party, and before the adjournment of
the caucus plans were made which will
lead TO the carrying out of these ends.
Speaker Beckiey, according to the
present outlook, will remain undisturb-
ed in his position, but he will be asked
this morning to name the committees of
the House along the lines fixed at the
conference of last evening. The mem
bers then decided what places on COM
mittees are desired by them, and this
list will be submitted to the Speaker
this morning.
In the event that he refuses to ap-
point the committees as submitted, then
arranged, and setting forth that the
committees shall be so constituted, will
be introduced and passed by the ma
jority This is entirely within the right
OF the House, for the provision that
the speaker shall name the committees
is only that such shall be the order
unless otherwise arranged. The pas
sage of a resolution will change the
rS1es and there viii be no delay on the
part Of the majority in showing their
strength.
The outlook seems to be that there
will be no change in the office of Speak
er so long as the fact that the majority
is in the saddle as to action is recog-
nized The strength of the party will
be behind any action taken and har-
.lnony of action is promised as the result
of the many conferences which have
been held.

had carefully measured the foundation
walls Of the double decker and knew
that by his measurement they covered
the entire lot, yet he had nothing to
prove that fact except his own state
ment.
''Have you any proof that this state
ment Of Mr.. Randall,s is a falsehood?"
The voice came in an added tone OF
sharpness.
Nothing but my own word,' Gordon
answered quietly.
"Have you the measurements you
made with y9u?"
Gordon produced a paper with a
rough diagram marked on it showing
the distance from the front of Bowen
street to the end of the lot to be ninety
eight feet and the foundation walls of
the building to measure the same dis

If bomb had exploded in the face of
Tommy Randall and his lawyer, they
could not have been more thoroughly

in CHASTITY manner.

When Bowen street was reached, the
five men walked over to the site of
Tommy's double decker.
Judge julius Chambers secured a
mason's measuring line from one of
the workmen. Then he turned some
what grimly to Tommy Randall.

Tommy murmured something. So did
the attorney. 1t may be remarked in
passing that it was not exactly prayer
that either man uttered.

Judge Chambers measured off the
foundation walls. Then he put down
some figures on a card. Then he

soft voice:

RECEPTION FOR ROOSEVELT.
Mayor Thompson Says 1t Will Be a
Most Fitting One.

1t will be a week or ten days before
Mayor Ezra Thompson viii take any
active steps toward making final ar
rangements for the reception to Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt when the lat
ter stops in Zion for few hours during
the progress of his western tour The
reception to the chief executive of the
country has been left practically in the
lions exist in Ogden with Mayor Glas-
mann of that municipality. The COVER
nor and the two United States senators
act as an advisory committee to the
two mayors.
1t is the intention of Mayor Thompson
to wait until a couple of weeks before
the president arrives before he makes
his final arrangements. About that time
public interest will begin to awaken, so
the mayor contends, and he will be able
to accomplish more at that time than
if he took up the work now. But in the
meantime the mayor is formulating his
proposed reception. When the time ar
rives he will unfold his plans to the vari-
place the details allotted to them in their
hands.
Mayor Thompson said last evening that
the reception to President Roosevelt will
be the greatest affair of its kind seen
in Salt Lake City for some time. Neither
give the chief executive of the country
a reception in keeping with his position.
AdviceS from Ogden are to the same
effect. Mayor Glasmann is quietly lay
ing his plans to give the presidential par
ty reception long to be remembered in
that town. There. as well as in this city.
the plans now being considered provide
for the entertainment of vast crowds of
people from the surrounding country 1t
is thought that thousands of people from
nearby cities ard towns will flock into
Salt Lake and Ogden to see the presi-
dent and hear his speeches.

A King for ireland

II NGLAND'S king is a great poll
tician. In all ages great kings
and emperors have played for the
favor of the populace, generally for the
purpose Of curling the nobility Nnd
wealthy classes, Edward VII has read
history and will never be in danger of
losing his head or his throne.
At last king is on the side of the
Irish people and is using his influence
to right their wrongs. If he succeeds
he viii have no more loyal subjects
than those of the Emerald isle. The
Irish people are prone to attach them
selves to a man rather than to a prin-
ciple 1t is the clan instinct peculiar to
the Celtic race, and the British mon
arch seems DESTROYS of awaiting himself
of it.
The remarks of Joseph Devlin, NJ. P.
show that ireland hopes for better
days in the near future, and when they
come it will be the king that will re-
ceive the credit 1t will not be the first
time that the Irish have proved them
selves the most devoted subjects of
their ruler. All they have asked
for centuries was a kind word
and fair consideration for their
