THE REPORT is DELAYED.
Affairs Of the st. Louis Exposition Still
Being Probed,

The much talked OF and anxiously
awaited report from the special leglsla-
tive committee appointed to probe into
ana make public the financial condition
Of the Utah st. Louis worlds fair COM
mission, did not come up this afternoon,
as was promised last evening and ex-
peeled today
When inquiry was made from the
meHhbers OF the committee as to the
cause OF delay, they stated that II was
because the enlargement was much
more complex than at first expected,
ana that Il would require at least two
days more In which TO finish the work
and formulate the findings.
Irregularities OF a very grave char
acter are being charged, and the COM
mittee declares that IT must go into
these so thoroughly as TO protect itself
from any just suspicion and accusation
that may come In the future. IL is as
serted that there Is a movement on foot
To have the committees report not dis
close anything out OF the ordinary, on
the grounds that the committee was
not called upon to indicate to the Leg
islature anything further than to show
that conditions at present are all right
financially. The sensation is expected
TO come when other members ask point
ed and embarrassing questions on the
floor Of the house,

DEATH CLAIMED
EMANUEL KAHN.
Salt Lake Wholesale Grocer Died
This Morning In San
Francisco.
PNEUMONIA WAS THE CAUSE.
Caught a Cold on Thursday Last
Well Known Business Man Through
out the West

A Geographic dispatch this noon, TO
Manager Samuel Weltz Of Kahn Bros,
from San Francisco stated that Eman-
uel Kahn. the well known wholesale
grocer and head OF this firm, died at
S.45 o'clock this morning, from pneu-
monia, at his residence IN that city.
A dispatch yesterday morning, stated
he was dangerously III, but all hoped
for the better. However, Mr.. Kahn ala
not recuperate, but gradually sank, un-
til death came this morning, as stated,
at the age of 81.
Mr.. Kahn has for the last two years
resided In San Francisco as the con-
dition of his health demanded a chahge
10 sea level and he appeared to be
doing 30 well that the llvelest hopes
were entertained Of his entire recoV-
~ from the exhaustion OF his nervous
system brought on by years Of TOO
close application to business But last
Thursday was rainy, and Mr. kahn
caught cold. This settled on his lungs
and despite all that could be done II de-
veloped into pneumonia and the sunerer
did not have sufficient recuperatlVe
force 10 throw It off. 1t was not known
this afternoon whether the remains
would be shipped TO this city for inter-
ment, or be buried IN California
Mr.. Kahns death will come as
shock TO many old time business men
Of this city who knew him intimately
I'm the business and commercial world.
He was intensely devoted to his busi-
ness interests, and q very careful ana
intelligent man in the general CONNER
cial world. And at the same time he
was public spirited, and when he could
throw the weight OF his influence in
favor OF Improvement projects and the
general betterment OF the community
In any way, Mr.. Kahn was always
ready and willing TO do his share. The
deceased was native Of Germany, and
came to Utah from Danyers, Ill., IN
1864, and since that time up to two
years ago, was actively engaged In the
wholesale grocery business, Five years
ago there were symptoms OF a coming
breakdown because of over application
20 his affairs, and he was obliged TO
leave his business in the hands of his
manager, Mr.. Samuel Ketz, and travel
abroad. on returning home, Mr.. Kahn
attempted to resume active control Of
his establishment. but found himself
unequal TO the task, and finally had to
take several trips to the coast for much
needed change. Finally he had to sur
render for good active management Of
his business affairs here TO Mr.. Weltz
who has conducted them with ability
and profit to the house, and remove TO
sea level with his wife and daughter,
Miss Henrietta who survive HIM
The firm Of Kahn Bros. was well
known all over the west, and the name
was synonymous with careful and dis.
business management. The
sudden death OF this esteemed and val
liable citizen will be widely regretted

Gives His Reasons for Opposing
The Kearns Price Land
Office Bill.
IT FAILED TO MEET NEEDS.
Made 40 Arbitrary Boundary Dlvi-
sion and Would Delay Opening
OF Reservation
(speoaIl to the "News.')

Washington D. c., Jan. 3l.-"My at
tention has been called to reports in
Salt Lake papers which assett that
am opposed TO the creation OF another
land district In the state OF Utah" said
Senator Smoot this afternoon. "The
fact IL, that am anxious that another
district should be formed in order to
facilitate the settlement Of the lands OF
the Uintah reservation when they are
opened. But In my action upon the
proposed legislation affecting Utah,
am governed by what consider 10 be
the best interests OF the people affected
by the legislation I objected 10 con-
sideratlon OF Senator Kearns' bin TO
create the Price land district because
that bill provided for a division OF the
state upon arbitrary lines which would
split several counties and even
divide the Ulntah reserve. Such
a division would set back the
time for opening the reservation
and favor more prompt action. In the
Kearns bill the west boundary is given
as the one hundred and eleventh merld-
ian, which Is q line not marked upon
the ground and II would be impossible
TO determine In which land district any
land was which lay In the vicinity OF
where this meridian Is drawn upon the
map. There are other objections TO the
bill, but there ls no objection to a
measure which will create new dis
tNct bounded by such lines as the de-
partment Of the interior may approve.
and such bill will have my earnest sup
port This bin was sent by the COM
mittee on public lands 10 the general
lana Office for approval, and before be-
ing passed upon by the department was
withdrawn and favorably reported from
the committee. II the bill had passed
the senate II never would have passed
the house IN its present form, and
knowing this, objected 10 its lmmedi

secure the passage OF bill which will
receive the endorsement OF the house,
