MAN DIED ON TRAIN
Identity Established by a Mes
sage From His Son in San
Francisco.


A telegram received last night from
w. J. Davidson of San Francisco iden-
tilted the unknown man who died day
before yesterday on the westbound Rio
Grande Western train to California as
his father, John Davidson. No other
information came about him, and his
son asks that the body be shipped i'm
mediately TO San Francisco When the
remains was taken to Evans under
taking parlors nothing was found that
would establish identification. The only
clue was q slip OF paper on which was
written 2436 Post street. San Francis
co, and the address of j. Watson, 1892
Elmwood avenue, Chicago, was also
found on another slip of paper. 4 note
signed by a railroad agent at Detroit,
where the old man boarded the train,
asking the conductors to take care of
him was found. but the name was not
given. The letter stated that David
son was going to California as a colon
list. All the money he had was S1.70,
but he had a basket of eatables which
would last him on his journey.
A telegr6phic communication was
sent 10 the address in California and
last night the Identification was re-
ceived. An examination indicates that
the cause of his death was rupture OF
the inner wall of the heart. due to the
high altitude. The man is believed to
be about so years old. His remains will
be sent tomorrow to San Francisco.

After the council committee of the
whole had discussed in a three hours

made the following report, which was
adopted by the council:
we would recommend that the plan

shall be not to exceed three and one
half feet. and that as TO the north side
of said street. the latest plan submit

Only Two Objections.

cOLoNISIS co WEST
Cheap Rates From Eastern
Points Cause Heavy West
ern Passenger Traffic.

The cheap Colonist rate ON all rail
roads running west from Chicago and
Missouri river points are having a
marked effect on passenger traffic
through salt Lake these days. The
rates of $50 from Chicago TO the coast
and S25 from Missouri river points went
into effect Sept. 10. AS a result there
is a perfect exodus Of hOme-seekers.
Five large special passenger trains
went through on the Rio Grande on
Sunday. and the regular westbOund
trains ran yesterday in three sections
each 10 accommodate the heavy travel.
The Short Line also felt the effects Of
this rush of hOme-seekers to the west.
Hundreds passed through Salt Lake
and ogden on the Hartman system
bound for various places in the north
west. So far as, could be learned few
of these home-seekerS are stopping IN
Utah. Idaho. is faring better, but the
great mass of these tourists are going
through to the coast.

Preparations Complete For Pri-

BITTER FIGHT ON LAWRENCE

PENDENCE.
BITTER FIGHT ON LAWRENCE

Vaguely suspicious Of some covert
attack by the arch-enemy, Kearns,
carefully scanning the states to be sure
everybody was all right hurrying final
instructions 10 the faithful workers in
every district to fail not and ever keep
ing an ear close to the ground lest
some word from the puissant SmOot
might be misunderstood the Republi-
CAL leaders put i'm a busy day. The
primaries come tonight, and all who
love Smootism viii be out A fear that
some who do not love SmOOtism may
also come out haunted the leaders all
day, but late last night they pro-
nounced the outlook all right and went
home.
While perfunctory efforts will be
made to look after candidates for cOun-
" offices. the legislative states will re-
ceive the chief attention. At present
Sutherland is the only man in sight,
and only those who viii promise To vote
for Sutherland, or somebody else TO be
named by SmoOt. will receive the Smoot
support for their states. Some of the
SmoOt men profess TO believe the nope
of reelection is still burning in the
breast of the senior senator, despite MS
announcement that he viii not be 4
candidate. These suspicious SmOOutes
have promised TO be on guard tonight
TO shut out all who have been accused
Of sympathiZing with the new party
and to see that none but SmOOt sal
warts get on the delegations.
Indications are that the primaries
will be large. The workers are not less
busy than when they succeeded IN
springing one Cutler on an unOffendine
people and a heavy turnout is thus as
Surod.

TRYING TO BEAT LAWRENCE.
Smoot-Sutherland Combination
Against State Senator.

Because he reserves the right TO think
for himself. State Senator George y.
Lawrence has been marked for slaugh-
ter by the moot-Sutherland Combiua-
ton. Through two sessions of the leg
islature Mr.. Lawrence served with
credit to himself and his party. He is
known as a clean, capable. independent
Republican. He has always been a
strong party man. The new party
movement did not swerve him from
his allegiance. But-he did not vote
for SmOOt. And he refuses to pledge
himself to Sutherland. Therefore. Mr..
Lawrence is to be beaten in his effort
TO secure a denomination if the SmOOt
crowd can beat him.
They have entered his own district,
the Thirty-eighth, where an especial
effort viii be made to put through a
slate prepared by the SmoOt crowd
and instructed 10 vote SOlidly against
Lawrence. All through the county the
Smoot lieutenants have sent word 10
beat Lawrence.
Mr.. Lawrence was never a Kearns
man, nor did he believe Apostle Smoot
should be sent to the senate His crime
of failing to vote for Smoot was ac-
centuated by speech he made in
which he said he believed the election
of an apostle would lead TO trouble.
The fact that he has never been a
kearns man might have worked to his
advantage at this time if Mr.. Lawrence
were willing to commit himself to
Sutherland. But he will not. He says
he does not believe the test OF a can
didate for the state senate should be
his allegiance TO a certain element of
the party. and he prefers to take the
chance OF defeat rather than TO sacri-
flee his principles.
The odds are against his nomination.
An independent Republican has little
show at this stage of the game with
the Smoot crowd riding rough-shod
over anyone who dares to voice an
opinion of his own or who fails TO in
stantly acquiesce in any plan laid down
by the Smoot mouthcieces.

The verdict was for the total
amount of $20,550. divided among the
owners of the property sought to be
condemned.
The testimony introduced IL the
case was of a conflicting nature, the
estimates given by expert witnesses for
both sides on one piece of property
ranging from 1000 tn $4,000
The jury was instructed by the
court not to consider what is or will be
the value of the property TO its owner
but, on the contrary, what was the
market value at the date OF the bring
