WILL PETITION LEGISLATURE
Juvenile Court Interested in Enactment
of -Four Important Measures.

The Salt Lake juvenile court Will en-
dcavor TO enlist the cooperation OF the
women S clubs of the State and of the
other Juvenile courts in the passage OF
four measures of legislation when the
Legislature meets in January. These
four measures are as follows:
First-A law providing for the. sep
aration Of boy and girl inmates of the
State Industrial school. This law, II
enacted, would necessitate the erection
of new industrial school building, and
possibly the duplication Of the present
force OF officers and teachers.
Secoud-A law to compel parents
whose children are committed TO the
industrial school 10 pay n portion of
the expense of their maintenance there,
if able to do so. with view tc re-
ducing the cost TO the State Of running
the institution.
Third-A law TO provide for the pun
ishment of parents who abuse or con-
tribute to the delinquency of their chill
dren. The only way to reach parents
who abuse their children now, it is
claimed. is by means of a prosecution
for assault and battery.
Forth--The establishment of school
for feeble minded or idiotic children.
The only school approaching this kind
of an institution now is The State
school for the deaf, dumb and blind,
which, il is contended. is not a proper
place for feeble minded children.

OTHER HEAVY DEALS
ABOUT CLOSED ALSO
RumOred Opening of a Thor
Oughfare Between Main
and State Streets.

The Blanche L. Kimball property at
1863 South Main street, opposite the
Federal building, was sold Tuesday to
unknown purchasers for 100000. The
deal was made through Salt Lake
real estate firm, the members Of which
decline to state who their clients are.
1t is rumored that the purchasers are l..
M, Sullivan of Goldfeld and D. II.
Peery of this city.
The same real estate firm is buying
up adjoining property, and the purpose
of the owners is shroudcd in mystery.
1T IS understood that l.. NJ. Marks, who
owns fifty feet near the kimball prop
erty, has disposed of his holdings for
$1,000 front foot, and that an offer
of $1,000 o front foot has beeu offered
Jacob Moritz for fifty feet which no
owns between the Kimball property and
the Marks property. Both Mrs. Kimball
and Mr., Marks declined yesterday to
discuss the matter.
1t IS also understood that Samuel
Reggel and Richard II. DreySus, who
own property fronting on State street,
directly through the block from the
kimball- -Moritz-Marks holdings. have
been offered a handsome price for their
holdings, as has r. E, Miller, who
owns property adjoining theirs. Mr..
Miller, it is said, has been made an
offer for property which he owns on
Fourth South street in the same block.
While il can not be definitely stated
that Mcssrs. Sullivan and Peery are
buying this property, there is every
reason TO believe that they arc the pur-
chasers. Both are on their way to New

HIS PLURAL WIFE
WANTS that LAND
Jones Deeds Property to His
Wife, and Now Regrets the
Rash Act.
ASKS DISTRICT COURT
TO SET DEED ASIDE
Plaintiff Insists He Was Insane
When Transfer Of Land
Was Made.

contest between a Mormon and his
plural wife over the title to twenty-four
acres of land near Union, this county,
Occupied the attention Of Judge Morse
in the District court Wednesday. The
plaintiff is Daniel Jones, who IS trying
to have set aside deed TO the land
which he made to his wife, Ellen Joice
Evans, on the ground that it was Sc
cured from him while he was mentally
lncapacltated TO transact any business.
In his complaint Jones charges that
in 1901 he was thrown from load OF
hay, sustaining injuries which rendered
him incapable of attending TO business
until July, 1905. On September 26,
1902, while he was in this condition, he
alleges, the woman induced hlm to sign
deed to the property, which she
caused to be recorded.
In the evidence 1T came out that
Jones has been twice in the insane asy-
lum. His contention was that he
thought he was going Ia die when he
signed tho instrument in question; that
he thought he was signing a will, and
that be did not intend that the woman
should have the property in the event
he lived. He said nothing in his com
plant about the woman being his plural
wife
In her answer the woman set forth
lne IacC tnhI Sne was married 10 Jones
as his plural wife in the endowment
house In Salt Lake in October, 1876, in
accordance with the rites prescribed by
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day
Saints, and that she bore him ten chill
dren, the youngest of whom was born
in 1901, the year Jones sustained the
accident.
The plural wife charges that Jones'
insanity was not caused by his acci-
dent. but by melancholy which followed
the death of his first and legal wife,
Sarah Jones. This woman. the plural
wife alleges, died IN 1902. the year af-
ter his accident. The first wife died
chidless.
The plural wife contends that the
deed to the property was made by her
husband while he was in his right mind,
of his own free will, and that the con
sideration was love and affection The
object of the transfer, she declares, was
TO guarantee support TO her and TO
her children, all of whom, except one,
were under age when the deed was
signed,
Judge Morse heard the evidence in
the case. and took it under adyisement.
The attorneys on both sides will sub
NIT briefs before the case is decided.

Found Hose and Used Water,

BY exercising presence of mind dur
ing fire IN the Salt Lake Hardware

SNOOT MACHINE IS
NOW AFTER COURTS
Has Demanded Removal of
Clerk Griffith of the Su-
preme Court.
WANT j. NJ. BOWMAN
TO BE PUT in PLACE
Machine, However, Strikes a
Snag, as None of Judges
Desire Change.

The Smoot machine is stretching out
Its greedy hands TO control the patron
age of the State Supreme court.
Through its emissaries il has de-
manded that II. w. Griffith, the pres
ent clerk OF the court, be displaced,
and that J. NJ Bowman, an alleged
adjunct of the machine, be given his
place. The machine, however, has
struck snag. us none OF the three
Judges of the court, even including
Judge j. L. Frick, the recently elected
member, is willing To make the change.
Two years ago, when Mr. Griffith
was first elected, the Smoot machine
tried TO prevent his election. The ma
chine choice then was Elder ''Bill
Spry. who has since been made United
States Marshal. Ever since then the
machine has looked with Gc.ovetous eyes
on the clerkship, regarding it as
plum lcgitimateiy belonging to the
field of political patronage. The pres
ent court, like its predecessor. is de-
termined not to permit politicians TO
dictate who shall be its clerk.
Mr.. Bowman, it is said, banked on
the personal friendship of Judge Frick
to land him the place. Judge Frick,
however. has refused TO interfere, and
Chief Justice. McCarty and Justice
Straup are firmly opposed 20 any
change, so that the machine will have
TO take the scalps of at least two of
the three Justices in order 10 install
a political henchman in the clerk s
Office.
The machine is also anxious to Sc
cure the scalp of A. B. Elder. re
porter of the Supreme Court. His of.
fense is that he refused to support
Willard Hanson, the nominee OF the
Mormon hierarchy for County Attor-
ney. at the recent election, II is prob
able however, that so long as the
Elder will not be disturbed.
Lawyers not identified with politics
resent in the extreme the attempt of
the Smoot machine to dictate the
appointees of the Supreme Court, and,
If the effort of the machine is per
sisted in. there will be an explosion in
LEGAL circles

THIS LOOKS QUEER
What Official Report Board of Educa-

During the six years that Bishop Ar

different pieces of work varies from
So to $50.

drives Bishop Giauque 8 wagon and
works on the latter's contracts.
The law forbids that any member of
the Board of Education shall have any

Of the funds of the board. 1t would
be a violation of the statutes for Bishop

OF the board as having performed any
