CANNOT USE THE FLAG.
Americans Shut Out by Prior Right
of Republicans.

Republicans and Americans have their
wires crossed in the matter of a party
emblem. Yesterday in their city con-
ventiOn the Americans adopted the flag
of the United States as their emblem
for the campaign. This was done on
motion of p. J. DAILY. The vote was
unanimous.
But il appears the Republicans have
used the flag of the United States as
their party emblem in the last four
city campaigns. They have used the bee
hive and the eagle in general elections.
but in city elections the flag has been
their exclusive property.
Naturally the Americans will say now
We are first in the field and have the
first choice of emblem. The other fell
lows may take what we leave"
Unfortunately for this contention, there
is a law on the subject. Section S39
chapter 1, of the revised statutes of Utah
says:
1T shall be lawful to designate the
political party or group of petitioners,
as the case may be, by an appropriate
emblem or design, such as a flag, eagle,
rooster or other device. as may be set
forth IN the certificate Of nomination.;
provided. that no two sets Of nominal
lions shall use or have the same device.
and that such political party, or group
of petitioners shall have the prior right
to use the device used by it at the last
similar election"

SUES FOR BIG DAMAGES.
Peruna Company After the Ladies'
Home journal.

Chicago Sept 2g.-Suit was begun in
the superior court today for $4,000 dam
ages against the Curtis Publishing COM
pany, publishers of the Ladies Home
Journal Sam B. Hartman Of Columbus,
proprietor of the Peruna Medicine COM
pany, is the plaintiff IN the suit. In the
August issue of the Journal the declaTa-
ton SAYS that an advertisement of the
Peruna company contained a testimonial
from Congressman George III. White of
North Carolina. In the next issue of the
magazine the declaration alleges that the
testimonial was REPRINTED. but with it
was a signed denial from Congressman
White that he had given the testimonial
TO the medicine company. This denial,
Hartman alleges, was secured through a
misunderstanding as Congressman White,

original testimonial.

SUIT CASE" MURDER.
Boston Police Believe They Will Un-

Boston. Sept. 26.-The police activity
in the suit case" mystery increased
today. Yesterday the solution was be
lieved TO be in sight. An identifica zion
of the suit case and the finding Of a

authorities much expectation that the
tangle would be unravelled. Ia their
efforts to accomplish this result they
arranged today that a corps of divers
should visit Winthrop harbor TO search
underneath the water for the missing
head and limbs of the woman victim of
the tragedy.
The police have decided that Mrs.

The feature of the afternoon session,
previous TO the actual work of uomind-
tiOns. was the speech made by ex-senator
Frank ]. Cannon, now high priest Of the
American party. Senator Cannon pre-
sumably addressed the convention, but
really talked to the few Mormons who
had slipped into the opera house to see
the Americans wrestle with the problem
of the hierarchy. Mr.. Cannon made II
clear to the scanty scattering of Saints
that il was up to them to join the Amer
lean party. He invited them TO be among
the tens of thousands of MOrmOns who
would flock TO the American party,
drawing d picture of the time when there
would be no hierarchy and nothing but
an American Utah.
The former senator was seated in a box,
and when called on at % p. m. TO adj
dress the convention went before the foot
lights. He said. in part:
"A year ago tOnlght-juSt about one

lean flag of the American party of Utah

blem has been sometimes absent from

my mind could conceive have flowed

Two Sawed-0ffs Take the Bank Roll

this town, We're held up by two men
early this morning and the place rob-
bed of nearly $1,000. The highwaymen
who were masked, then treated the
crowd and made good their escape dur
ing the confusion which ensued.
There were eight men in the saloon
drinking and playing roulette when a
short man masked with red hand

volver over mis- shoulder at the barten-
der, Elsie Ross. and commanded him
and all in the room TO throw up their
hands.
Thought He Was Joking.
All thought it a joke, but the first
man was quickly followed by another
and still shorter man, who backed up
the command of hands up" The
eight men were lined up against the
back of the bar room and the two hold
ups walked to the roulette wheel,
where they laid their pistols upon the
table. and the taller busily spun the

into a grip. They then forced the wheel

who was as nervous as the other was

OF his pistol, and then disappeared.
Set EN- Up to the Crowd.
Even then the other man was not
dismayed. He laughed and, throwing
$3.50 on the bar, ordered all up to take
ii drink The thoroughly cOwed men
obeyed. This robber sat at the end Of
the bar while one man handed him a
whisky bottle and another handed him
a glass. He drank this just as two
more men entered from the outside.
These men were asked to have drink.
and, laughing. the rObber disappeared
through a side door fully five minutes
after the first man had left, The lar
ger of the two weighed not more than
l50 pounds, and the smaller about 100
pounds None of the men in the place
were robbed. A posse has searched for
the robbers but no clue to their iden-
tity has been found.

Delegates crowded the lower floor o.
the convention hall at both sessions Of
the convention. The gathering was
made up OF many representative bust
ness men, many disappointed office
seekers. many professional Mormon
haters and many small bore politicians
who are i'm the movement for what can
be made out of it. II was neither above
nor below the average city convention
of the old parties. Few women were
present. The credentials committee
was not technical as 10 the right of ap-

Much Talk to Galleries.
Talk made up the large bulk of the
work of the convention The fact that
there was no fight for any nomination
made the naming Of the ticket piece of

galleries. The applause was for the most
part Of the made-tO-OrdeT variety. HaT-
mony was threatened but twice once

The fact that none of the doors of the

considered to prove conclusively that it
WAS not a case of suicide Miss Money left
her home on Sunday evening, saying she
would not be gore long.
The affair thereafter is a complete mys-
terry. No ticket was found OH the body
and no one has been able to explain under
what circumstances the young woman en-

Lyman r. Martineau is the new
chairman of the Democratic city COM
mittee. He was chosen yesterday to
succeed Mathonihah Thomas, who re-
tires because of a press of legal BUSH
ness that cannot be neglected during
the campaign Some of this legal BUSH
ness is in Idaho. Wyoming and Nevada,
which will make it necessary for Mr..
Thomas to be out of the state.
The new chairman is no stranger to
the Democrats of Utah or to. the work
of conducting campaigns. Three years
ago he removed to Salt Lake from LO-
gan. and since then has been largely
engaged in business. He is president
of the Mariger Investment company.
In politics Mr.. Martineau has been

coming to Salt Lake, and has ever been
influential in party councils. He was
