THEY RECOMMEND A CHANGE.
Committee Chosen to Confer with
Quigley and City Council on the
Power Proposition Make q
Mastery Report.

The large attendance Of II citizens
at the mass meeting in the cour,
house last Friday night held to hear
the report Of the committee selected
to confer with J. d. Quigley and the
city council relative to the proposition
Of the former to supply the city with
power for all purposes, showed that
more than ordinary interest is mani.
tested in the matter, and the report.
which was submitted by Hon. A.. l..
Ross chairman of the committee and
concurred in by the other members,
was one Of the most mastery efforts
which our people have ever heard on
any subject of general interest.
Should the matter of power for
general utility be set aside for any
cause, one thing developed, and that
was that no books had been kept for
the city's electric light plant. and
all the points OF interest to the people
OF this city had to be dug out of old
bills, receipts, slips, stubs ard pieces
Of paper. but the committee-Mcssrs.
Ross, Gibbs, Crewson, Joachim and
Heincman-were not bahled by such
conditions and went over everything
from the bank account to a piece Of
brown paper, and the result of their
investigation viii be worth something
to our city now since their eyes arc
opened to a very loose name Of
conducting the affairs Of the plant.
Following is full text of the report:

Washington, Jan. 5.-Mrs. Minor
Morris, who yesterday was elected
from the White House after insisting
upon seeing the president, today is in
a state of nervous collapse. In re-
Spouse to inquiries she sent word by
another friend that although she felt
keenIy the humiliation to which she
had been subjected, she proposed to al
low the matter to drop. The further in
formation was conveyed that her hus-
band, DR.. Morris, will reach here to-
morrow from Ohio
Failed to Appear.
Mrs. Morris was charged in the police
court today with disorderly conduct.
Instead of appearing for trial, however,
she did not answer to her name and
the So collateral which was put UP for
her at the house of detention was de-

In a statement made today by As
sistant Secretary Barnes at the White
House concerning the ejectment of Mrs.

offices, Mr., Barnes stated that after

INTERNAL WAR
BOTHERS PARTY
Americans" in City Council Are AL.
ready Divided Into Two Hos
tile Camps.
THEY MAY RETAIN BYWATER
MODERATE PARTisANS BALK AT
PROGRAMME OF RADICALS.

According to declarations made by
American party councimen yesterday
the plan TO remove Fire Chief ". H
Bywater may meet with an obstacle in
the city council. It is said several new
members of the council viii refuse TO
allow ByWater to be supplanted by an
incompetent without making a fight for
his retention. An effort to rush through
a measure to remove Bywater may pro-
duce a split in the American party
ranks in the council
JAS q matter of fact, the American
party councilmen are divided into two
well-defined camps already. HOLIDAY,
Davis, Martin, Black and Crabtree con-
stitute the element which desires TO
run things rough shOd. regardless or
merit or of the interests of citizens
They demand the removal Of all Off
Gals not known to have supported the
American party ticket actively during
the last campaign, and to have welded
their departments in the interest Of the
American party candidates.
Those Who Are Moderate.
Mulvey, O,DonneH. Carter and Ferry
belong to the moderate element. They
have shown already a disposition To
consider the merits of offfce-hOlders and
to regard the claims Of the city's wei
fare. These men comprised the oppo-
sitiOn to Davis for president Of the
council and yielded their position on
that point only in the interests Of har-
mOny 1t is now stated that they will
refuse to stand for the rough policy
proposed by the other Americans.
Without their support, the other crowd
cannot put anything through.
The attitude of the four 'mOderateS
of the American party has become
known to citizens who have large prop
erty interests that would be imperiled
by the placing of an incompetent man
at the head of the fire department, and
the four are receiving daily assurances
OF support from prominent citizens.
Insurance men are behind Bywater
sOlidly. Some Of the coUncilmen have
received letters written by fire chiefs
of OG side cities urging that Bywater
be re- aimed. and citing facts in support
of their request.
Figures compiled by the Insurance
Age furnish an eloquent testimonial
for Bywater. They show that the ratio
of fire losses to premiums paid in Salt
Lake fell from 74-9 per cent to 20 per
cent during the first year Of Bywater's
administration.
Action in the matter of the police
1hi6f job is awaited with inteT est by
I local Republicans to whom Davis has
aVOWed that he is still a good RepubH-
Gan He did some work in the Fifthi
ward for Lynch during the campaign
and then accepted the presidency Of the
council from the American party men.
| The vote on the police chief matter
will place Davis and Holiday, prOfessed
Republicans, on record as either Re-
publicans or fair weather Americans"
who waited for the paTty's success be-
fore joining its ranks.

The fight against the bill was opened
in the interest of the beet sugar indus

recalled the Republican membership to
its pledges on the stand-pat tariff
plank of the party.

Preliminary Next Week.
County Attorney Van Duyn states it
will be impractical bic to hold the pre-

day. The evidence is being put in
shape for the examination, but the
chemical analysis of the powders found
in Orchards grip have not been com

state university at Moscow is on his
way to complete these analyses and
vereify the results reached by the local
chemist. His report must. be secured

Sensational Rumor.
There was a sensational rumor at
Caldwell today to the effect that Jack
Simpkins, who was known as one Of

himself, but a close investigation has
developed the fact that this man wore
a black mustache, and was very stOop-

said, does not fit Simpk.ns
Rumor Regarding Meyer.
Another interesting feature of the
