mend to the coming legislature that
a commission be appointed for the
purpose of submitting code of laws
to the legislature of 1909. y = The
condition of the statutes of Idaho is
certainly deplorable. So many OF
the statutes contain ambiguous, un-
Ineligible and inconsistent pro-
visions that they will never be rem
edied by individual legislative ac-
ton. " have a multitude Of stat
utes, if they were only IN such shape
that there need not be so much con-
troversy as to what the law is; and
outside Of remedial Legislation to
meet new conditions, the state Is not
suffering for more laws"
Attorney General Guheen then
calls attention TO several matters
that be says should be revised. He
says a constitutional amendment
should be submitted whereby all
land matters In connection with the
state should be made a separate de.
partment to be administered by one
person as the head of the depart
ment; this person to be either elect
ed or appointed by the governor;
The business of the state land board
if conducted by board paoperly,
be says, would require daily meet
ing Of the board, which would be
impossible.
"If the land board were composed
Of individuals who were not con
nected with the executive depart
ment and could meet daily there
would be no particular difficulty
he says, "but on account of the
great amount Of land matters to bs
attended to by the board, and theil
completely, and the fact that thi'
board is composed of officers, SOM
of whose primary executive dutie
demand the greater part of their at
tention, it makes the present sy sten
absolutely vicious in its weakness.
On account of the rapid growtl
Of the state in the past few year
Attorney General Guheen recon
mends o constitutional amendmen
that would provide for superior o
county courts for each county, sue

HAS A. KICK COMING
Pete Olson Doesn't Like Way IS
Hour Law Operates.
WORKS HARDSHIP ON SHIPPERS
He Hrd to Feed Three Times Between
cokeville and Omaha viii Ship
Over Northwestern Next Year.

Pete Olson was down from Coke
vile Monday. He returned the lat
ter part of last week from Omaha,
where he had been with q shipment
of sheep, and he had tale of woe to
relate about the treatment received
from the railroad company. "In the
FIRST place." said Mr.. Olson, "the
extension of time that stock shall
be KEEP. IN cars without feed from
% to SO hours is hardship, rather
than q benefit TO. shippers, for the
reason that the railroad company,
when it SO desires, uses the SO hours
to get a stock train from one feed.
ing point to another, whereas before
the law was changed the train was
rushed through in % hours. For
example, when we arrived at North
Platte we had / ]. hours and SIS min
utes in which to 60 to Grand Island,
. distance of 1877 miles, before the
SO hours We're up, but the company
refused to send the train out, giving
as the reason that the run could not
be made to Grand Island within the
36-hour limit, and there was moth
ing for US to do but cuss and wait. :"
"Another instance of how the SO
hour law ia working to the detri-
ment of the shippers" said Mr.
Olson sis shown by the fact that at
. little station short distance east
of Cheyenne our train was laid out
for 1--WE hours waiting for two
"strings of empties" to pass. Had
the 28-hour law still been in force
this. would not have happened, bu,
the company had US for we had
signed the s6-hour release as re
quired by the new law, and thi,
give the company the eight addition
al hours In which to get our sheep
to the next feeding point. Under
the 28 hour rule the trip from Coke
willie to Omaha was made with only
two stops for feed, but now We hav,
to feed three times"
Next year Mr.. Olson said that hs
intended to trail his sheep to Lande
and ship from there over the North
western road. 1t is an easy trail
he said, from their summer range tt
Lander and the Northwestern will
take them from there to Omaha will
only one stop for feed. Anothe
point in favor of Lander Is tn
freight rate. From Cokeville T.
Omaha the rate on car of sheep 1
$Isl. 80 and from Lander 1t is onl,
$s5. A number of the Big Pine
cattle men drove TO Lander this fal
and made money by doing so.
Since returning from Omaha, Mr.
Olson had inspected his sheep, whic
are. now on the winter range and b
reported they are IN fine condition

SENSATIONAL TRAGEDY.
Ex-senator Arthur Brown Of Utah,
Meets Death by Hand Of Mrs.
Bradley, His Former Mistress

Former United States Senator
Arthur Brown.of Utah, died We'd
nesday night in a hospital at WASH
.ngton, d. c., from the result OF
pistol shot Ill the abdomen, inflicted
by Mrs. Anna Bradley of Salt Lake.
The shooting occurred last Saturday
evening in Senator Browns apart
ments in the Raleigh hotel at WASH
lngton.
The shooting is the elimination
of many sensational incidents in
connection with the relations of
Senator Brown and Mrs. Bradley.
which haye figured in Utah for a
number of years. Their relations
became so public and notorious tina,
two years ago Mrs. Brown, who is
now dead, had the Senator and Mrs.
Bradley arrested on the charge of
adultery. Mrs. Bradley plead guilty
to the charge, but waslsnever SEN
fenced. The Senator plead not
guilty, and a, the trial which fol.
lowed he was acquitted, for the rea-
son that the woman refused to tes.
nfy on the ground that the questiode
propounded to her, if answered,
would tend to disgrace and degrade
her. She was sustained by the dis.
trict court in her refusal to testify.
Since the death of Mrs. Brown i,
is said that Mrs. Bradley has repeat
edly insisted that the senator marry
her, and right her in the eyes Of the
community. She claims that he il
the father of two of her children.
The Senator had gone to Wash
ington to argue case before the U
S. supreme court and few days be
fore leaving Salt Lake he gave Mrs
Bradley money with which to 60 II
San Francisco, where she promises
to remain. Instead, she followet
him TO Washington, learned at wha
hotel he was stopping and by chanc
secured room near the one occupies
by the Senator.
After the shooting she stated tha
she went.to his room and asked hir
again if he was going TO do th
right thing by her. He made n
reply, but put on his overcoat an
: started to leave the room, when sh
]. shot him.
The firm Of Bartch & Bagley {
s Salt Lake, has been employed to Al
r sist in the defense of Mrs. Bradle,
: Mr.. Bagley, who was IN Montpelis
yesterday, on legal business, recei,

Citations concerning stock holdings in

Three high officials of the railroad
First Vice President John p Green
Third Vice President Samuel Rea and
William A. Patton. assistant to the
president at Philadelphia. were the
important witnesses Of the day. Mr.
Patton was under examination the
greater part of the morning. and was
an unwilling witness. The persistent
questioning OF Attorney Glasgow. for
the commission, however. brought out
the fact that Mr.. Patton had acquired
stock. the par value of which IS s307.-
900. In various coal companies with
out cost To himself He explained
however. that he had signed notes
obigating himself for his share of the
losses. and declared his belief that IL
was proper for him to accept the stock
under those conditions.
The stock Is distributed among IL
coal companies. and represents 1910
shares. All of these companies were
organized by Congressman George f.
Hun The common method II devel-
oped. was to buy coal lands incor-
porate. sell the bonds to farmers"
who put up the money. and then dis.
tribute the stock among the syndicate.
Mr. Patton was friend OF Colonel
Huns and always got his share.
Besides this s3o7 600 worth Of coal
company stocks that Mr. Patton now
owns he has held many thousands OF
dollars worth OF shares In other con
Germs in the past These also he was
given at the time of promotion. Later
he sold them. some going TO Cassatt

planned ali OF hts stock transactions.

cause OF his connection with the rail.
road company.
Mr. Rea said that most of his stock
was acquired through his association
with land purchasing syndicates.

development
Vice President Green said that 90 or
30 years ago Il was not considered i'm
proper for an official OF the railroad
to own coal company stock but that
conditions had changed and such hold.
