BRITISH HERO
IN THE UTAH
STATE PRISON
Man With Victoria
Cross Is Sentenced
For Burglary.
Special Dispatch TO The Call.

SALT LAKE, Aug. 10.-Samuel Grice, a
convicted burglar who won the Victoria
cross by his bravery in going to the as
sistance of Lord Roberts during an ac-
ton in Afghanistan in 1877, to-day began
to serve a twelve-year sentence in the
Utah State prison. Grice has lived in
Salt Lake for several years and has be-
come notorious for his petty crimes and
for his skill in evading punishment He
has often received Jail sentences, but
until now has not been convicted of
crime that would justify a long imprls-
onment.
Grice enlisted in the British army in
1867 and served seventeen years. He saw
service in India, South Africa and Egypt,
where he was wounded during the Soudan
campaign He won the cross in 1871 by
hurrying TO the aid of Lord Roberts, who
had been unhorsed and slightly wounded
in the action at Khost. With the assist
ance of a soldier from another regiment,
.Grice succeeded in taking the general TO
safety.
Grice also served under Colonel Ed
mund Rogers Coker of the British army,
who was decorated for service at Gin
mis-, during which action Grice received
his only wound. Grice is now almost
sixty years old and does not expect TO
live out his sentence.

WANTS RIGHTS
OVER SANTA FE
Senator Clark Sends Track
age Privileges ON South
ern Rails of Competitor
CONFERENCE IS CALLED
Traffic Representatives Of
Two Lines to Meet Here
Within the Next Ten Days

Having gained important concessions
from the Southern Facihc Company iu
the way OF an interchange of traffic
privileges in Southern California, the
San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
road is now preparing to obtain similar
privileges from the Santa Fe road in
the same territory Yesterday the Off
ciaIs of the Santa Re Company received
a formal request from the officials of
the Salt Lake road for ii conference
here next week, at which the question
of an interchange of traffic will be
thoroughly discussed.
AS yet the exact date for the confer
ence has not been decided, but the traf-
fic officials of the Santa Fe have an
nounced their Willingness to confer and
left the date of the meeting 10 the repre-
sentatives of the other road. Upon what
basis the Salt Lake road officials hope
to secure an agreement with the Santa
Fe for interchange of traffic in south
eTn California is not known here, but it
is presumed that they will ask the priv
ilege of reaching direct all the indus
trial points on the santa Fe line in the
lower section of the State. a cOHces-
sion of this character will largely de-
terunine on what kind of reciprocity the
Salt Lake road proposes to offer. 1t is
doubtful, however, if any trouble will
ensue over the question. for the two
IOluS are very IElGnQIy-
United States Senator Clark Is a good
patron of the Santa Fe road. He has a
coal mine at Gallup that contributes
largely 10 the freight income of the Santa
Fe Company, and still more important
business is done with the company at Je-
rome, where his big United Verde cop
per properties consign their product TO
the cars Of the Santa Fe for shipment to
the markets. Naturally. in view of these
friendly relations, the officials of the
Santa Fe are anxious to be extremely
fair with the Salt Lake people. and
will most likedy agree upon an inter-
change of freight if the Clark people
can give some reasonable assurance that
whatever sacrifice is made by the Santa
Fe will be met with a liberal concession
of privileges along the line of the Salt
Lake route.
The Santa Fe now enjoys trackage
privileges over the Salt Lake COmpanys
line between Pasadena and San Pedro,
which it secured several years ago,
when that portion of the Salt Lake Com
pany's tracks was owned by the Los
Angeles Terminal Company. This agree
ment Will in no way be affected by the
coming conference

GERMANY COUP
ANCERS FRANCE
Berlin Bankers Loan to Sui
tan of Morocco Regarded.
as a Breach of Faith
STATUS QUO DISTURBED
Kaiser's Assurance of Inac-
tiyity Pending Internation-
al Conference Proves False

PARIS, Aug. 10.-The statement that
German bankers have advanced a per-
sonal loan of $2,500,000 to the Sultan of
Morocco, although not confirmed Of
f1cially, is arousing indignant comment.
coming after assurances that the status
quo was to remain unaffected until the
holding of the international conference.
1t is pointed out that the legality of
the loan is contestable, the position of
the Sultan since the last international
conference being similar to that of the
Khedive of Egypt (who reigned from
1868 to 1870 at the period when the
powers intervened for the regulation
of Egyptian finances, in order to pre-
vent the personal extravaganza of the
Khedive.
Meanwhile, Germany has not yet re-
piled to the last French note regarding
the conference. This delay is believed
to be due to Germany submitting the
French proposals to the Sultan before
responding to them.
According to emi-official advises the
Sultan is showing more and more a
marked opposition to the proposed con-
ference and TO any consideration OF
Moroccan reforms.

MOORE DENIES
GRAF 7 CHARGE
Chief of Weather Bureau
Disclaims the Existence OF
irregularities in His Office
WELCOMES AN INQUIRY
Proud of Fact That He Paid
Fair Wages to Men En-
ployed OH Mount Weather

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Professor
w. L. Moore, chief of the weather
bureau, to-day issued signed state
ment denying allegations of graft IN
the management of the weather bureau
station in the Blue Ridge Mountains
near Blue Mountain. diselaiming the
existence of any irregularities in the
administration of his office and offer
ing full opportunity for the investiga-
tion of any specific charges by any
person. He says:
A few days ago a statement published
in Washingt ton TO the effect that IT was re-
ported unoftically that the Secret Service had
dispatched agents to the mountain station
Mount Weather of the United States Weather
Bureau, whsre the sleuths for the past two
days nave been nosng around
According to the report. these sleuths dis
covered that the Weather Bureau was pay
ing So per day for unsklled labor, which is
twice the amount paid laborers in the city
of Washington and that there is a complaint
on the part Of the employers adjacent VINO
II is a fact that the Weather Bureau has
never paid SS a day TO any Iaoorer employed
at Mount Weather or AT any other place, and
if the reporter who wrote that statement had
taken the trouble to ask for the privilege OF
examirfng the pay rolls of the Weather Bu-
reau he would have saved his readers the op-
portunity of reading secretly secured scandal
instead OF openly procured news | would
like TO have the entire pay rolls OF Mount
Weather or of any other portion of the Wealth
er Bureau, published, that the public may
know whether there is an extravagant man man
agement inside of the bureau or any falsi-
fcation.
do not doubt that I have disturbed the
labor market in the vicinity of Mount Weather
and I am proud of the fact, for L was told
OF men working from sunrise 10 sunset for
so cents per day and board. or 75 cents per
day and board themselves. believe that such
hours of labor and such wages do not con-
tribute to the betternlent of American citizen
shin or the welfare of the State and so far
as / have the power. as the chief OF a large
Government bureau. / shall ever strive 20 alter

Terrible Scourge Continues
to Spread With Rapidity
in New Orleans, Though 1t
Appears in Lighter Form
SEVEN NAMES ADDED
TO THE DEATH LIST
Small Strike Occurs Among
the Employees Who Are En-
gagged i'll Cleaning Up the
Stricken Southern City

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 10.-The Off
cial report up to. 6 o'clock p. m. on the
yellow fever situation is as follows:
New cases, 6S; total to date, TAI.
Deaths, 81 total to date, 124. New sub
foci, 81; total to date, 151. Cases under
treatment, 2S6.
With the death, rate remaining lower
than in previous visitatfons of the fe-
yer, the feeling here both among the
health authorities and the laity con-
tinues hopeful. The fever has been
prevalent long enough to have assumed
a virulent form, but instead, 1t is ap-
parently less malignant than 1T was
when it first appeared.
Many of the cases which are now
being reported. except among the Ital-
ians, are mild in character and readily
respond to the treatment given them.
DR.. White said to-day that while the
work of organizing his forces is rapid
ly crystallizing, he will not be able to
make any announcement of the details
of the campaign until Sunday One of
of the details of the plan, it is under
stood, will be an inspection, not only
of every house, but of every room in
the city. In connection with his work,
Dr. White took occasion to-day to say
that he had encountered less interfer-
ence from politicians in New Orleans
than he had ever met with before.
One of the curious incidents of the
day was an incipient strike of en-
pIoyes of the Citizens Sanitary De-
partment. 1t occurred in the Thir-
teenth Ward. Heretofore there have
been as many men applying for jobs
as could be taken care Of They were
glad to work for 81 so a day. The
Thirteenth Ward force. however, be-
lieved it was entitled to a raise. The
employees struck for 81. The citizens
committee refused to pay more and a
new force was engaged
The City Council at it's meeting to-
day authorized Mayor Behrman to bor-
row 100000 from financial agents to
assist in meeting the present emer-
gency Ten thousand dollars is to be
used in carrying on the street cleaning
work, in which the city is engaged, and
the $4,000 is to go to the fund asked
by the Government Though not quite
$3.50, 900 has been raised, all the money
is available that can be used by DIR.
White and his force for six weeks.
Owing to the difficulties it has met
with at Mobile after being forced to
divert it's ships from New Orleans, the
United Fruit Company, 1t is learned
has decided temporarily to discontinue
its business. Two more steamships are
now completing cargoes there and will
bring them to New Orleans.
There are twenty-seven cases of fever
at Patterson La, but nearly all of them
have been previously announced. Bon
Ami La, reports two cases In nearby
lumber camp.
