HE WAS INITIATED.
How They Treat Railroad Newcomers in
Los Angeles, Cal.


District Agent Moore Of the Salt Lake
Route Is genial soul and a prime mover
In harmless little conspiracies that aft
ford public merriment, According to
gentleman recently from Los Angeles
Moore Is sadly missed in railroad cir
cles on the coast and since his nhgra-
tion to the city OF the Saints newcom-
ers In Los Angeles transportation agen-
cies have enjoyed blessed peace 1t
appears II was Moare who Instituted
the pastIme Of Initiating" the latest
arrivals.
This took various forms, but the case
OF Frank Miller, the district passenger
agent of the Rock Island at Los Ange-
les Will illustrate the system. on the
second day after the arrival of Mr..
Miller a polite Insurance agent waited
on him and talked insurance until he
was black In the face. This thing kept
up for a week and then they ceased
coming singly and arrived In shoals.
Business was out OF the question, In
vain did Miller lock himself In his pri-
vate office, They were a patient class
they waylaid him at the door, on the
street. at his home and even az he was
coming to and from church. 1t was
then that Miller lost his quiet dignity
and commenced 70 throw them out. FL
nally II developed that Moore, aided and
abetted by kindred spirits armed with
the city directory made II a point TO
call up three insurance solicitors every
morning after breakfast and tell them
that Miller was breaking his neck to
get a policy Miller has been plotting
for ~ months 20 get even and II Is
scheduled TO Break loose at any minute

LIFE PRISONER
MAY Be SET FREE.

Habeas corpus proceedings may be
brought In the the near future TO secure
the release Of Frank Corners, who is
serving 10 years In the state prison for
burglary and a life sentence for murder.
Corners was convicted in Utah county
for both crimes, and It is the belief OF
his attorneys that bis conviction on
the murder charge Is illegal, because
the Information was drawn by the dis
trict attorney under a provision Of the
session laws of 1899, which the supreme
court has held in another case was un-
constitutional and void.
II is believed that Corners is only
waiting for his term Tor burglary to
expire so that he may secure his lib
erty by habeas corpus, but II Is prob
able that the proceedings may be insti-
tuted from another source In order TO
test the matter, Should he be success
fu in securing his release he will be
prosecuted here for the part he took in
the break at the prison last fall. and II
the state is still in a position 10 pro-
duce the evidence In the murder case,
which It had at his former trial he will
probably have to face the murder
charge again,
