ERICKSON WILL
WIN JUDGESHIP
Probability That Contest Proceedings
Will Be Ended Today.
LIVINGSTON IS BEATEN
SHOWS INCREASE OF
ERtcksoN'S MAJORITY.
Especial to The Herald1

IA ANTI, Jan. 25.-The contest for the
lEI Judseship of the Seventh judicial
district is nearly over. A short
session viii be held in the morning
which VIII no doubt decide that Ferdi-
nand Erickson shall continue as Judge.
l. was admitted this evening by VIII
liam d. Livingston. who is contesting
Judge Erickson's election, that the con-
test viii close tomorrow
one of the districts in this county re-
vealed mistakes amounting to about
twenty votes in favor of Judge Erick-
son which Is disastrous 10 Livingstone
side So far thirteen votes have been
gained in Sanpete county by Judge
Erickson. which is the accepted count.
This evening there are 1O5 disputed bal
lots to be disposed of tomorrow. and
there is no question but that Erickson
Will get the majority of these This is
practically conceded by the Livingston
side The ballots opened show that had
the voters known how to scratch, Judge
Erickson would have had a large ma
jcTity. as the intent of the voters was
plain in many cases. though the ballots
could not be counted.
Both sides have given Judge Booth
! credit for being perfectly fair i'm his
decisions Judge Booth and the attor-
neys viii most likely leave for their
hcmes tomorrow. as the general under
standing this evening is that the con-
| test viii be drawn to a close in a very
short time in the morning
The understanding now is that no
! further court proceedings will be held
and that Ferdinand Erickson viii con-
( tinue as judge in the district with at
] least thirty votes majority over Liv-
ingstOn.
Livingston's majority after the gen
/ eral election returns received was
eleven. Two of the districts in this
county made the change of eighteen or
nineteen votes in favor of Erickson.

OBJECTION BY
SENATOR SMOOT
Obstruction Placed in Path of Price
Land Office Bill.
ANTAGONIST TO KEARNS
SENATE WOULD HAVE PASSED
THE BILL.
Especial to The Heraldl

NAI ASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The first
Wv indication Oh the floor of the SEN
ate of the antagonism existing
between Senator Kearns and his col
league, Senator Smoot, was shown this
afternoon. Mr. Kearns presented a IA
vorable report from the public lands
committee on his bill to create an aG-
ditional land Office in Utah to be known
as Price district, with headquarters at
Price, Utah.
In presenting the favorable report,
Mr.. kearns asked unanimous consent
that the bill be given immediate con-
Sideration- 1t is customary for the SEN
ate in the exercise of senatorial cour-
tesy to accede to such requests on mat
ters relating to appointments controlled
by the senator making such requests.

GERS assigned to active duty to a ma
jor's pay regardless of rank. Mr..
Spooner commended that the paragraph
was an indirect effort to prevent th4
assignment to active service of general
officers and denounced it as coward
ly."
Several amendments were suggested,
but action on them and on the provision
went over for the day. Some 200 pen
sion bills were passed.

STRIKERS ASKED
TO RESUME WORK
Pacific Proclamation to the Russian
Workmen.
SITUATION is IMPROVING
FEARS OF TROUBLE IN MOSCOW
NOT REALIZED.

CONTRARY to expectation the first
u move of the newly appointed gov
ernor general of St. Petersburg is
pacific in character. II takes the form
of a proclamation. jointly signed by
General TrepOff and NJ. Kokovseff, the
minister of finance, telling the strikers
that they have been led into trouble by
evil disposed persons, and that their
best interests will be served by peaceful
representations to the government. The
workmen are also assured that the en-
peror has ordered the framing of GER
tain laws for their benefit and the Gre
alton of a system of state insurance
that Will protect them from want in
case # sickness or disability.
Fears Not Realized.
The fears of serious trouble in Mos
COW yesterday were not realized. The
only authenticated instance of anything
approaching violence there was in the
dispersal of ascrOwd of about 1900
workInen by COSsacks. so far as is
known there were no casualties.
From Finland anti-Russian demon
strationS are reported. a collision be-
tween a crowd of 10000 persons and
troops and police resulting in the
" ounding of about thirty Firms. In
Finland the agitation has nothing to
do with the labor question, but is pure
" political in character.
Various political, educational and
mercantile bodies in Russia are adopt
ing declarations in favor of an elective
representative legislative body and de-
noUncing misrule under the autocracy.

Petition from Price.

"A short time ago several hundred
citizens in the vicinity of Price COM
bined in a petition 10 me to Introduce
a bill establishing a land office at that
point, which I did. The proposed new
district embraces approximately 1900,
900 acres Colorado has thirteen land
offices, Idaho has six, Montana has
seven, Wyoming has six. Oregon has
six Utah, with its twenty-seVen cOun-
ties. and but one land Office. has a
larger acreage than Wyoming, Oregon.
Colorado. Montana and Idaho. While
every argument of justice calls for the
immediate passage Of this bill, / am
willing to accept an amendment which
viii locate the office in A more advan-
ia geous position. if such be the view OF
the officials Of the land Office. but I in
sist and maintain that Utah has been
neglected in this matter in the past and
should by every right be given at least
one additional land office for the ac-
commOdatiOn of her citizens"

PACIFIC PROCLAMATION.
Strikers Promised Shorter Hours if
They Return to Work.

ton last night which reveals the gov
ernmentS plan for breaking the strike,
not only here but throughout Russia.

Kearns' Argument.

Although we have 52.541.4OO acres
within the boundaries OF Utah, there is
but one land Office TO attend to all the
business. While the people of Utah
have been to considerable trouble jour
neying 10 Salt Lake City TO complete
entries, they have uttered no COM
plant. Within a short time the Uintah
reservation viii be opened and thou

Office should be established in Utah.

new land as to enable settlers to ac-
