TITH|NG SCHEME
IS DENOUNCED
Fernstrom Files Minority Re-
port Scoring American"
Sandbag Tactics.
T. R. BLACK JEERS AT HIM
MATTER WILL HAVE ANOTHER
AIRING BEFORE COUNCIL.

Reproduction OF the American party
system Of collecting a tithing fund from
helpless city employees was contained in
a report filed last night in the city coun-
Gil by F. s. Fernstrom, the minority men,
Der of the committee appointed to inves-
tigate the charge that Street Supervisor j.
T. Raleigh had been levying political
tithing. The majority report whitewash-
ing Raleigh was filed a week ago.
The text of Mr.. Fernstrom's report was
as follows:
I'VE, the minority members Of the spec
ial committee to investigate the charges
of compelling employees Of the city to pay
10 per cent of their wages to the American
party campaign fund. beg leave to report
that the committee met and that the in
vestigation was very peculiarly conducted.
attorneys for the defense and as a con-
sequence the minority had to appear as
prosecuting attorney.
One thing was clearly established, viz,
that the disgraceful practice of collecting
10 per cent from city employees was inau-
gurated in the early part of the summer
and there is no doubt but that the scheme
was to collect the same from month TO
month and that any one refusing TO pay
jeopardized their employment. Since the
protest of the minority members of the
council and q general condemnation by
the fair minded public, the excuse is made
for one month only. But why this should
be collected so early, to defray campaign
expenses, they have entirely neglected TO
explain

New Firemen Are Named.

Fire Chief c. T. Vail appointed, and
the council confirmed, George Lorenzo, O.
Pettingill A. l.. Hancock and Joe Wat
kins as firemen. The council also con-
firmed the promotion of f. II. Kemp
ton to the position Of lieutenant in the
fire department
The street supervisor was instructed TO
remove the Rio Graude Western tracks
on Eighth South street between Third
and Fourth West streets provided the
city attorney should conclude that he had
the authority to do so. Residents of the
street complain that the tracks are a
nuisance because the company uses them
to store empty cars upon.
The Utah Savings e. Tr'lst company was
notified, on motion of Councilman Null
vey. to remove it's obstruction of the
sidewalk at Z35 Main street until such
time as it is ready to commence the con-
struction of it's new building. The COM
pany has been hampered by lack Of ma
terial, but several adjoining property
owners and business men in the neigh
borhood protested to the council that the
obstruction was a nuisance.
Councilman W. J. Tuddenham presided
over the meeting last night in the abb
sence Of President A. ]. Davis, who is out
of the city.

Taxpayers Foot the Bill.

The only logical conclusion then, is
that the raising of the wages of the city
employees was a collision to take practic-
ally all the money needed for a corrup-
tiOn fund and campaign expenses out of
the city treasury through the said raising
of wages. But thanks to the minority
members of the council and the general
public condemnation of the scheme we are
now inclined to believe that the original
plan has been abandoned. While 1t is
necessary to keep a close watch on the
proceedings in the future we do hereby
recommend that if an attempt should be
made to again collect this tithing the en-
ployes will resent il and give such infOr-
nation as will effectively stop this, the
most unjust and tyrannical system that
was ever inaugurated in the state of
Utah.
Other charges were incidentally pre-
ferred against the street department and
its supervisor which were not in any way
complimentary, but as the minority mem
bers do not consider them part Of the
proceedings we recommend that the street
committee investigate these charges.

That American Hierarchy"

Following the presentation of his report,
Fernstrom made speech in which he said
that the scheme to organize an 'Ameri-
can hierarchy. had been cOnCoCted in the
police station. This statement. which was
greeted with laughter, referred to secret
caucuses held by American officials in
Judge Diehps court room a few weeks
ago at which. it is said. the tithing
scheme was Matched.
Fernstrom expressed the belief that the
expose of Raleighs performances had
checked. temporarily at least. the forced
contributions of money from employees.
He said he had no objection to legitimate
campaign contributions from city en-
ployes provided they were voluntary.
Councilman T. r. Black, the ''Ameri-
can floor leader, offered, if the matter
were laid over for a week he would pro-
duce receipts for contributions which
were forced by the Morris administration.
Black asserted that one young man work
ing under the last administration had
come to him and asked whether or not
he should pay such contributions.

Algeciras, March 8.-The conference
this morning resumed discussion OF
the Moroccan police question. Three
distinct propositions were presented
one by the Austrian delegation, en-
bodying German ideas; another by the
French, and a third by the Moroccan

heretofore outlined, establishes the
Franco Spanish police at eight leading
ports. The Austro-German plan con-
cedes the Franco Spanish police, but

places them under q neutral general.
The French delegates declare the lat

Washington, March S.-The senate

usual, in order to afford additional
time for discussion of the statehood
that object would be frustrated by the
lack of attendance on the part of the
senator's When the hour for meeting
arrived. not single seat In the
chamber was occupied, and at 11:15
when McCumber began to speak on the
bill less than a dozen senator's were in
their seats.
McCumber introduced his speech by
presenting a substitute for the state
hood bill, creating one state of Okla
homa, another OF Indian territory. the
latter under the name OF Sequoia, and
entirely eliminating New Mexico and
Arizona He made an argument
against consolidation OF the territories
into fewer states.
When 'McCumber closed Tillman
gave notice that as soon as opportunity
offers he will address the senate on
the message of the president sent to
the senate yesterday on the coal in
qulry resolution recently passed by
congress on Tillman's motion. He re-
ferred to the presidential message as
a very remarkable document" and
said but for the pressure to proceed
with the statehood bill he would ask
to be heard at this time. Patterson

hood bill, speaking in opposition to the
passage Of the house bill.

reported from the committee on ac-

tion was agreed to at once. just as
the resolution was announced Hughes
realized he had been directed by the
committee to report the resolution with
the recommendation that 1t should not

the action. The motion was laid on
the table, thus affirming the increases.

ken up for amendment.

TARIFF REVISION FIGHT.
Plans for Carrying Struggle Into Con.
qressionaI Campaign.

Plans for Carrying Struggle Into Con-
gressional Campaign.
Washington, March S.-Practical
plans for carrying the tariff revision
fight into the coming congressional
campaign are to be discussed at a
meeting of the national committee of
tae Reciprocal Tariff League which
will be held in Chicago next week. 1t
is declared that the league, which Is
the outgrowth of the reciprocity con-
proposes to make an example, IL pos
sible, of certain "stand-pat" congress-
men who represent agricultural con-
srituencies.
The call for the Chicago meeting has
been issued by Alvin H. Sanders, chair
man of the Reciprocity League, who
left Washington yesterday for New
York. where he will confer with east
ern members of the committee. The
stated object of the call is to decide
the question Of carrying the fight for
fairer trade relations with continental
Europe into the elections next fall, but
once started it is probable the ques-
ton of tariff revision in a still broad
er sense soon will be agitated.
Curtis Bill Is Center.
During the present week the tariff
question has been brought to the front
in the house. The campaign which the
reciprocity leaguers intend ITO prose-
cute will center around the bill recent
ly introduced by Representative Cur
It's of Kansas providing for the revival
in an amended form of section 4 of
the Dingley act. SO as to permit the
executive branch of the government to
negotiate trade agreements with for
ei,sn countries. This is held to be the
most practical reciprocity proposition
introduced thus far this session, and
the enthusiastic advocates Of the
movement declare it is entitled to the
support of every man who hopes for
ar. enlargement of the outlets for our
ever growing agricultural surplus.
Leader Outlines Fight.
1T is inconceivable to me that the
leaders of the republican party will
commit the political blunder Of going
before the people this fall with stand
patism as one of the main issues.
said Mr.. Sanders. The corn belt
states sooner or later will send men
to Washington who will represent their
interests in an aggressive war on this
proposition. They want honest pro-
lection to interests that need it. but
they insist upon an energetic enor'
