president of the New York Lie lnsur-
ance company. sent from what may be

work in the company and of his relations
with Andrew Hamilton. The statement

chamber.
Mr. Mccall told his son. I've lived
clean life. I've lived my life as 1 saw
it No man, woman or child can say
that I ever wronged them"
When asked whether MS father made
any reference to Hamilton, young Mr..
Mccall said:
confidence for Mr.. Hamilton. There was
nothing wrong IN Mr.. Hamnton's rela-
tions with my father or the company. 50
great is his trust in Mr.. Hamilton that If
ne were to make his Will today he would
name him as one Of the executors.
"Tt was on my suggestion that | went
abroad TO see Mr.. Hamilton. Father
agreed with me I brought back re
mort as YOU already know, and though
father was quite I'll at the time that re-
port rallied him very much; He got
brighter and kept SO for quite rev
daVS."

ment."
Last fall Mr.. Lynch was nominated
by the Smoot machine for mayor OF

the race. He was q receptive candi-
date recently both for United States
marshal and for receiver of the Salt
Lake land office The Utah senator's,
however, had disposed of those Offices
otherwise, and Mr.. Lynch was given
the consolation prize on the state land

Every inch Of ground covered so far by
the case Of J. D. Skeen against Fred w.
Chambers. the president of the Ogden city
council for the alleged misappropriation
OF he eity's funds has been holly con-
tested. From the most trivial things in
troducod by either side objections and ar
guments result and in consequence the
progress Of the case is decidedly slow. The
whole OF yesterday mornings session was
consumed IN arguments so that the taking
OF testimony was not commenced until
AFTERNOON Counsel for the defense OBJ
Jected to the appearance Of District At
tOrney George Halverson in the case This
objection was made when Mr.. Halverson,
at the opening Of the session, arose to
read the complaint preliminary to making
his opening statement Attorney Magfn-
mis- objected to Mr.. HalversOns appear
ing in the case as district attorney in be-
half Of the state and a long argument
followed with the result with which most
Of the objections were disposed of by the
court. Objection oYerruled.'' The court
held that, inasmuch as no objections had
been made before to Mr.. HalVerson's ap-
pearing in the case, it was now too late
TO tnterpose any objection.
Court Censures Mr. Macmillan.
During the reading of the complaint the
district attorney called attention to the
fact that some amendments which had
been granted the day before had not been
entered in the complaint. Upon the court
instructing the clerk to make the proper
entry, Attorney H R. Macmillan inter
posed an objection and Notwithstanding
that the court had informed him that the
amendment had been granted the day pre-
vious he insisted upon his objection and in
doing so quoted the court as having said
certain things about the complaint. Judge
Howell took occasion to inform counsel
that he had made a rnisstatement, al
though he had no objections TO his having
his exceptions.
By far the most damaging piece Of evil
dence submitted by the prosecution was
when City Recorder William j. Critch-
low was on the stand as the first witness
OF the day Mr.. Critchlow after a careful
examination OF the city records and in
reply to q question from the attorneys
Chambers, the defendant, had ever been
appointed as a member Of the board Of
equalization and review. Counsel for the
defendant strenuously objected to the
question but the witness was directed to
reply and stated: He was not"
Not Even Member of Board.
In addressing the jury after the read
ing Of the complaint, District Attorney
tended to show by the evidence that the
defendant received three sums OF money
from the city over and above his salary.
He said that II would be proved that war
rants for the three sums were drawn on
the city treasurer, some OF which were
services for the same were said to have
been rendered. He declared that the pros
ecutiOn would also show that at the time
Chambers declared that he served on the
board Of equalization and review he
was not g member Of such board. and

THOUSANDS WILL VISIT UTAH.
Travellers Corning to Study condi'
tons Prior to Taking Homesteads.

Railroad men of this city expect the
influx Of homeseekers into Utah 10 be
the largest in history. All lines reacn-
ing Salt Lake, directly or indirectly,
have been thoroughly Overhauied and
extra equipment added for the accom-
mediation Of the thousands who will
pass through this city en- route to Cali
fornia and western points. All lines
west of Chicago have mace a one-Way
rate OF between S33 and $50 TO Califor-
MIA, these effective today. The north
ern roads expect to handle in the neigh
borhood Of 20, 900 people within the next
few days, and a large number of these
VIII pass through Salt Lake and, in all
probability, remain here to study con-
ditiOns in Utah in contemplation OF
taking up homesteads.
The Rio Grande will bring thousands
through Salt Lake and the road has
doubled its local equipment. The Salt
Lake Route VIII carry immense crowds
westward from Salt Lake, and has also
secured extra equipment in anticipation
Of the increased travel. Stop-oYers VIII
be permitted at Milford. Caliente, Las
Vegas and all points touched by this
line.
Many homeseekers have already pur-
chased tickets over this road and will
thus be permitted to go direct to San
Francisco as well as to Los Angeles.
The rates go into effect today and
will continue until April 7, allowing
colonists making the transcOntinental
trip an opportunity TO study conditions
IN very state and TO make personal
Investigations Of the various districts.
Colonists purchasing tickets are al
lowed continuous passage between those
two dates. The movement noted last
year brought $4,000 persons through
Ogden. but to all evidences this num-
Der will be left far in the rear during
the present movement.

TWO INTERESTING LETTERS.
Balfour Promises to Aid in Erecting
Tariff Wall.

London. Feb. 1A-Interesting CORE
spoadence between A. J. BaIfOur and
Joseph Chamberlain, dated today and
published on the eve of the uniOntst
party meeting at LansdOwne house, dis
poses effectively of the report that seTi-
Gus difficulties exist between the fac
lions of that I arty. Mr.. BalfOur's let
ter is as follows
MY Dear Mr. Chamberlain: The con-
troversy aroused over the fiscal Ques-
ton has produced not unnaturally the
impression that the practical differ
ences of fiscal refOTmers are much
deeper than in fact is the case. The
exchange of views which has constant
" taken place between them leads me
TO hope that this misconCeptiOn may be
removed and with it the friction which
has proved so injurious to the party
My own opinion. which, I believe is
shared by the great majority Of the
unionist party, may be briefly summar-
HZed as follows.

BALFOUR BOWS
TO chamberlain
Former Premier Crosses the Tariff
Bridge in Order to Retain
Leadership.
UNlONISTS AGAIN UNITED
SURRENDER DELAYED UNTIL
LAST MOMENT.

London, Feb. 15.-Former Premier
Balfour finally has crossed the bridge
which Joseph Chamberlain held out for
him, and In correspondence published
late last night he takes his position
practically on Mr.. Chamberlain's tar
in reform programme.
The fact is heralded IN the Liberal
newspapers this morning as ''BalfouT's
Surrender" "Chamberlain's Victory
etc, while the Daily Graphic speak
ing on behalf OF the Unionist free trad
ers, deplores Mr.. Balfour's Journey to
Canossa," as the price Of his retention
in the leadership of his party. The
Chamberlainite journals express com
plete satisfaction and attach no i'm
portance whatever to the BalfOurian
limitations which the former premier
places upon his acceptance Of the pro
posed duty on corn and tax on manu-
features. The Standard says that the
agreement between the two foremost
statesmen of the party is absolutely
Rll-embracing.
Why It Was Delayed.
Mr.. BaIfour's surrender, though de-
layed until the eve OF the Lansdowne
house meeting, evidently was arrang-
ed at the famous dinner conference
with Mr.. Chamberlain and enabled the
latter 10 publish his recent reputation
of a desire for the leadership which
suddenly quieted the newspaper at
tacks on Mr.. BalfOur. AS though TO
emphasize the fact that there viii be
in the future a dual leadership Of the
UniOnists, it is announced that, in ad-
dition to the provision of the custom
ary- private room in the house Of COM
mons for the official leadership of the
opposition only, q similar room has
been allotted to Mr.. Chamberlain. This
is unusual, If not unprecedented.
Mr.. BalfOur and Mr.. Chamberlain are
still in negotiation with regard 70 re-
organization of the party machinery.
Mr.. BalfOur's conversation to Cham
berlainism IS likely to be unpalat-
able to a large section OF the Unionist
party and IlansdOwne house meetings,
which the Duke Of DevOnshire Lord
Hugh Cecil and other free traders viii
attend, is likely to be the arena OF
some plain speaking on the subject

Fiscal Reform First.

Fiscal reform is and must remain
the first constructive work of the union
fst party. The objects of such reform
are to secure more equal terms OF COM
petition for British trade and closer
commercial union with the colonies.
while at present it is necessary to
prescribe the exact method whereby
these ends may be attained, It IS mex
pedient to permit Of differences of opin-
ion regarding these methods to divide
the party. Though other means be pos
sible, the establishment Of q moderate
3 general tariff or manufactured goods,
not imposed for the purpose Of raising
Eprices or giving artificial protection
against legitimate competition, and the
imposition of a small duty on foreign
corn are not in principle Objectionable.
and they should he adopted IL II can be
shown that they are necessary for the
attainment of the ends in view or for
the purpose of revenue"
