NATIONAL CRUSADE
ON BUCKET SHOPS
Movement on Foot to Call General Con
ference of Stock Ex-

New York, July 15.-For a crusade
against bucket shops it was reported in
brokerage circles yesterday that a move
ment is on foot among the exchanges of
the country for a general conference.
The New York stock exchange, it
was learned, may be invited to send a
representative to the conference, which
may be held in this city, but it is un-
likely that it will take part, as its policy
is to avoid alliances with other eX-

MANY persons lhtcieSltQ III thc
opening Of the Uintah reserva-
ton find a hard blow for east
eru Utah particularly Verual
and Price, in the provisions Of
the presidents proclamation ,h-t
make Provo and Grand June
ton registration points and fix
Provo as the place for the draw
ing, SAYS the Salt Lake Herald,
The effect Of this arrangement,
it is pointed out, will be TO take
from Price and Nerual parcti.
cally all registrations except by
persons who live in the immedi.
ate vicinity of the two towns.
Persons coming from the east by
rail would naturally make their
registrations at Grand Junction
and those coming from the north,
west and south will stop at Provo.
While this may prove a con-
venience to many applicants, it
will scarcely be approved by the
people Of Vernal and Price,
The selection of Provo as the
place for the public drawing is
still more ola surprise 1t was
presumed that Vernal, especially
now that a new land Office has
been established there, would be
made the scene ofthe drawing.
This change will materially affect
theplaus ofmauY who sau6dently
expected ttat VeTnai Wouid be
the place.
The registration period is Of
but twelve days duration-from
9 O'Clock a. m. August 1 to 9
O'Clock p. III. August - Regis
trations may be made at Grand
Junction, Vernal, Price, or Provo
The drawing TO determine order
Of precedence in making entries
will be held at Provo, beginn-
ing at o o'clock a. m. August ~.
Entries will be made at Ncrual,
beginning August IS.
So faras at present known,
10 fee will be made ior regis
tiatiou. Fees aud commissions
on entries amounts toSIh for 100
acres, the amount being reduced
proportionately for entries ofless
than 100 acres.
According 20 II. Stockman,
president of the Western Home
sec GERS association, several large
partie, OF evcursioui,ts seeking
to share in the drawing viii ar
rive in Utah within few weeks.
These parties will come from
both east and west, he says, and
will be cared for i'm tents 20 be
erected at Provo, Price aud Yer.
nal.
Mr.. Stockman has just retur-
ned from a trip 20 Ve.ual where
he went to attend TO details
preliminary to filing applications
for clients of his company. He
visited the Vernal country two
years ago and the favorable OPP
iuiou formed at that time has
not been changed by his recent
trip, he says, he anticipates
| biz rush at the time Of the draw
iag.
The Western Homeseekers'
association, which was incor-
porated chiefly for the purpos Of
acting as agent for soldiers, sail

ALL WESTERN FRUIT
 LINES GIVE REBATES
Attorneys for Armour'Lines Are Again Unsuccessful in Fixing Day for
 Closing Testimony.

Washington, November 1.-Admitting that rebates are given to shippers in the California fruit service by practically all private car lines, J. S. Leads. general manager of the Santa Fe refrigerator dispatch, enlivened the inquiry being con- ducted here by the interstate commerce commission, to show the relations be- tween the railroads and the companies engaged in the business of refrigerating freight in transit. MT. Leads said these rebates were necessary to his company because all his competitors were grant break up the practice without precpitat- ing rate war
 The testimony today was confined to the business Of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railway, and the Santa Fe Re frigerator Dispatch which corporations. according to officials of both. WHO were on the stand, are owned by the same interests.
 MT. Leads occupied the witness stand the greater part of the day and was fol- lowed by Edward Chambers, freight traf- iic manager of the Santa Fe railroad. who preiaced mass of unimportant testi- mony with the statement that the stock of the corporations mentioned, is owned by the same interests and that the cor porations have the same president
