But Holds That Seal POachers,
Nevertheless, Got Their
Dues.

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-Although tax
Ing the position that the killing OF the
1--WE Japanese poachers within tho ter
ritory OF the United States In Alaska
was Justified, this Government, in all
probability, Will extend TO japan Its re-
grets for tho fatal clash between the
native lookouts of the North American
Commercial company and the Japanese
raiders. This statement was made by
Acting Secretary Of State Bacon tonight
Meantime the District Attorney for
Alaska is making preparations for the

of this Government today in notifying
ambassador Wright at Toxic OF the facts
as reported by Solicitor Sims OF the De-
partment OF Commerce and Labor. was
designed to give to Japan Information

careful Investigation by the Japanese
Charge here, the conclusion WAS reached
that the case was ono involving no In
ternational incident.

HOW JAPAN IS GOVERNED
An Impressive View Of Her Quiet, Self
Contained Statesmen.

Sit in the gallery of the Lower House
of the japanese National Parliament
and observe thence the new force that
civilization and education have 1oosed
upon the rest of the world,
The chamber is about as large as the
House Of Representatives, at Washing
ton, comfortable, convenient, and plan
ned for business. The members sit at
desks facing the Speaker 8 high dais
midway Of the long side of the room.
Ten or twelve members wear the al
most obsolete native costume; the 9TH
ers are garbed like Europeans. You
Will notice first of all that these men
do not sleep, like members Of the
British House, nor read, nor write, nor
transact Mt their desk their private
business, like the Representatives at
Washington. They listen to every
word of every speech. They are liberal
of applause and dissent. Everything
that is SAID seems to mean something
to them. There are no long dreary
harangues, and no permlssions TO print
in the Record Members that address

and in front Of the presiding officer.
and full of point. Often they are witty
and very often eloquent, but never are
they entered for the endurance prize.
You observe the faces intent upon
the speakers, the lines of long, strong,
square-jawed, brown faces, and it
startles you to reflect that tho pow
erful, indomitable nation Of which this
grave deliberatlve assembly is the SYM
bol has been created in fifty years from
the least promising of materials; that
in fifteen years it has been lifted to
the front ranks among peoples; that
all the world has been amazed by its
performances. And then you Will sud
denly perceive that in your eyes every
face before you is an imponetrable
mask. From each you receive definite
impression of power-quiet, self-suthc-
ing, conscious power; but beyond this
nothing. All you can see are eyes,
nose, mouth, and the blank stone wall
Of an expression from which no amount
Of scrutiny will enable you to draw a
hint of the trouble within.-Charles Ed

OPPONENTS GETTING BUSY.
Notice Served on ogden Auditor Not to
Pay Big Warrant.

Special to The Tribune.
OGDEN, Aug. S,-The franchise for the
Ogden Water Works Company, which
was passed by the City Council a week
ago last night. was subsequently ap
proved by the Mayor and delivered TO
the City Recorder and later accepted by
tho company, the acceptance going on
record today, is to be fought, as was
printed In The Tribune of this morn
Ing. 1t will be remembered that when
the franchise was passed by the council
authority was given TO the City Auditor
to draw a warrant IN favor Of the water
works company for $4,000 In consdera-
tion OF which the water works company
Will liquidate $4,000 In judgments
against ogden City and would dismiss
all suits now pending before tho Su-
preme Court.
1t was today learned that j. B. Skeen.
who has been the accuser against the Og
den councilmen. has served notice on
the Auditor TO hold the warrant for $780,
600 until the courts had passed on the
motion Of himself. Judge Agee and Judge
Dey OF Salt Lake to en1oin the profits
OF the ordinance. These three men are
the attorneys OF the Real Estate Mems
Association. which is opposed to the
franchise Since the ordinance has be-
come law regularly, the public is Won
dering how 1t can be defeated by iu-
junction proceedings.

PLANS SUBMITTED
FOR NEW RESERVOIR
Site for Two Dams in Piute
County Are Under
Consideration.
Specinl TO The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
RICHFIELD, Aug S.-The reports on
the plans and estimated cost OF dams Tor
IL new reservoir along the Sevlcr river.
near the town OF Junction in Piute coun-
-ty, were submitted to the board of d.
rectors of the otter Creek Reservoir
company at a meeting held In this city
q few days ago. Plans were considered
for two dam sites They did not differ
materially. one costing about s42, 400 ana
the other Sid 800, One would have
height of fifty feet and the other forty
Ave feet but the first would not have to
be made as wide as the second. 1t is es"
timated that either would make reser-
voir covering about 1000 acres OF land
and lmpounding 10000 second-fect Of
water.
Another and greater obstacle will have
to be overcome than dam building, how
ever, before this project will be UNDER
taken. II Will be necessary to buy out
several pieces of farming land and some
of the owners are Inclined to hold out for
pretty stiff prices. Unless heavy reduc-
tions are made Ia the prices asked. the
reservoir proposition Is killed. Exor-
bitant or eXtortionnte prices will not be
paid for reservoir site. II reasonable
terms can be reached with the land
owners, the enterprise will probably be
launched without much delay, so as to
impound water for next season,
The Otter creek reservoir is holding
out better this year than 1t has since 1t
was built. There was over twenty-three
feet OF water behind the dam at last re-
port, and the amount of water now be-
Ing released but little exceeds the volume
pouring In. One hundred and eighty feet
were turned loose a few days ago, but
1t was more water than could be handled
This was reduced TO 100 feet and still
complaint was made of too much water.
Now but fifty feet of water is being
turned out, and that seems to be SUM-
Client for present requirements.
With these favorable conditions there
Is not the absolute necessity for securing
water supply for irrigation that ex-
listed few years ago, and rather than
pay excessive prices for lands for q new
reservoir. the old one Will bo increased
In capacity to meet demands.
The rate OF taxation for this county
has been fixed for this year by the Com
missoners as follows: General purposes,
s mills; sinking fund. 81 mills; bond in
terest fund, g MILL county school fund
mills. making q total Of s.4 mills.

Emmett's Resignation May Be
rendered Today; Report Says
Others Will Follow.
FURTHER PROSECUTIONS
MAY NOT BE NECESSARY
Members Who Voted to Them
selves Illegal Appropriations
Have Had Enough.
SnecisI 10 Tho Tribune.

Special TO Tho Tribuno-
OGDEN, Aug. Sit Is a certainty
that the complaint prepared BY Attor-
ney J. D. Skeen against WI hoiio
ward. has not been flled in the Second
District court, and 1t seems as certain
that it will not have to be filed. lt
is stated, In fact, that Mr.. Emmett has
sent the information to Mr.. Skeen that
his. Emmett IS, resignation would be
placed in the hands Of the City Re
corder not later than tomorrow morn
ing. 1t will be remembered that Mr.
Emmett had intimated his intention to
leave the Council on September L, but
the accuser in these cases, which have
caused so much OF an unset to the
Smoot- -Howell-S machine in Utah,
was obdurate, and he gave Mr.. Emmett
the option Of resigning or being. the
defendant in a suit for election from
Office for the illegal appropriation OF
money to himself and other Council
men.
Other Members Will Resign
It is proper to state that, while
Democrat, Mr.. Emmett has boon an ex,
tremely useful servant of the city, and
his leaving the Council will be un-
doubtedly q direct loss to the city. Like
the other Councilmen, Chambers and
Craig, he was brought into the dis
grace by the former Mayor of Ogden,
Who induced the City Attorney to tell
the Councilmen that they were legally
entitled to the additional compensation,
which they voted to themselves, when,
as matter of record, the statutes are
so plainly against this procedure that
the layman can understand to the con-
trary.
1t was stated this afternoon, but has
not been verified, that Councilman
Robert Paine Of the First ward will
tender his resignation. Craig and
Moyes nre said to have come to the
same determination, and the outlook
now Ia that there will be no more suits
to oust these Councilman. This does
not mean that the entire trouble IS
settled. There are county officials
against whom it is predicted similar
action will be taken, and it is said
that the county records will furnish
office. This affects, also, men now In
office who will come up for renomina-
tion and reelection this fall.
An Incident by the Way.
A peculiar little incident recently
came up in the City Council which
shows that the Council proposes to in
terpret the statutes themselves, with
out regard to Judge Bagley's opinions;
Some weeks ago the learned judge told
the Council that they had no right to
put crushed rock on the streets and
pay for the same out of the city 8
funds. The fact that they had been
doing go for a number Of years while
he was City Attorney and had never
objected was pointed out and the city
is going ahead with the work. That
was the contemptuous answer to Judge
Bagley's alleged opinion, whose pre-
vious opinion that the Councilmen had
the right to appropriate to themselves
extra Compensation that is plainly pro-
hibited by the statutes, has brought the
present troubles on the Councilmen and
now threatens to disrupt the municipal
body.
