WORRIED OYER CASE
OF TOMMY BRENNAN

What is to be done with Tommy
Brennan9 That is the question that
County Attorney al j. Smith and other
local authorities and friends of the lit
tie fellow whose manly testimony and
bearing on the stand convicted Mrs
Stella Brennan are trying to answer
wisely.
The little fellow who was shot by
his stepmother after she had murdered
his brother and sisters, is still in the
fer in the city Jail, but despite her care
the little fellow is very much afraid
Of the dark. He will not be left alone
without light and is afraid to 60 out
of-doors after nightfall
He is. also becoming trife unman-
'ageable and his nervousness shows the
effect Of the terrible ordeal he has gone
boy is admitted by ali interested per
sons. That. James Brennan, the boy Is
father, should not have him is also com
monty admitted. The boy has an uncle
in Minneapolis who is said to be ''weIl
off, - but he has never been to see
Tommy since the tragedy, and his fond.
ness for the boy is doubted. Tommy Is
mother 8 relatives in Chicago are said
to be willing to take the boy and bring
him up carefully, away from the scene
of the murder. This is thought by
some to be the place where the lad will
finally be taken. A conference between
County Attorney Smith and the boy
relatives will be had soon and the dis
position to be made of him will be set
tied. Mr.. Smith will see that the little
fellow is properly cared for.

SEE AMERICA FIRST
SALT LAKE COMMERCIAL CLUB
URGES TOURISTS TO POSTPONE
EUROPEAN TRIPS.

The Commercial club of Salt Lake
City has started movement to popu-
larize American travel and to that end
will hold a conference of western bust
ness interests in Salt Lake on Jan. 25.
Several Minneapolis interests, includ-
ing the Commercial club, the Press
club, the Chamber Of Commerce, as well
as number Of other organizations and
delegates. The governors Of state and
territories and mayors of cities of the
first class are to be ex-effico members
of the conference. Each state and ter
ritory is entitled to two delegates at
large, appointed by the governor, and
commercial clubs, trade organizations,
merchants and manufacturers assoeia-
tions, railway and steamship lines are
entitled to one delegate each.
The Salt Lake Commercial club has
adopted as motto I" See Europe If YOU
| will, but see America frst.' It urges
the wonders Of America, especially of
| the west. The amount spent by Ameri-
/, can sightseers in foreign lands and in
the purchase Of foreign products while
abroad amounted in 1904 to $19O,OOO,-
| OOO. The greater part of this is ex-
pended by people who know little j
anything of the wonders of America. If
this amount were retained in the coun.
try for ten years it. would pay the ma.
t1onal. debt twice over, provide three
imperial highways across the country
build a sea level canal at Panama and
leave billion and half dollars in
! the treasury.
| While some interest is being shown
in the conference by local organizations
it is not known to what extent they
will be represented. The expense OF
sending delegates will be considerable
and there is little possibility, it if
thought, of any material benefits.

STILL In SEARCH OF
HIS MISSING FIANCEE

No trace of Miss Anna McNaughton,
the missing fancee of Edwin Marks,
has been found by her fance or the,
friends who are aiding him in his
search. Mr.. Marks is more certain
than ever that the girl is foreibly re
strained somewhere from the fact that
she has not been seen by anyone Her
relatives do not seeem apprehknsive.
Mr.. Marks went to st. Paul yester-
day to interest the county authorities
in his troubles. but did not obtain much
satisfaction. He is almost distracted
by the continued absence of his sweet
heart, but is unable to do anything.
He scouts the idea that she has left
him voluntarily in Response. to the
pleadings of her relatives, for it was
to escape the family opposition to the
marriage that she went to the Mccall
lum farm. Moreover, when she went
for a sleighride with her sister she
took none of her belongings with her
and was attired in her kitchen dress
and wore slippers.

charging such crimes. Colonel w. r.

be answered by County Attorney Al
J. Smith. A decision is not expected
for some days.
Colonel Dodge urged that charge

the evidence of the particular facts

was not necessary to preserve the life

is never shifted to the defendant where
the exception was a part of the origina
enactment, coming under one enactine
clause.

SNOW IS I HAILED /
WITH GREA. I GLEE
WHIRLING FLAKES FIND
EVERYONE DEE-IIGHTED.
Little Inconvenience Has Been Caused
!. SO Far on Account of Dryness Of Snow
and Absence Of Wind Twill Be
Over by IL O'clock, Says Ontram.

Tho snow has fallen continuously
since about am. Tuesday, Minneap-
oils has suffered little Inconvenience
from the mantle Of white which has
been spread over its streets and roofs.
Tho the weather bureau reports show
that the snow was four and a half
inches deep at am. today, there has
been no tieup on the streetcar lines.
This is due to the fact that there has
been little nd-only four miles an
hour-and consequently no drifts. The
dryness of the flakes has prevented any
injury to telephone, electric and tele-
graph wires. The only snow which
works injury in this respect is the wet,
sticky stuff which adheres to the wires
and loads them beyond their capacity.
The storm has been popular and on
every side are to be heard expressions
of delight that winter has really begun
and that the ndndescript weather Of the
past month is apparently at an end
The only sufferers are the draft horses
which are obliged to haul heavy-wheeled
vehicles thru the clogging snow. The
delivery wagons and drays are fast be.
ing equipped with runners, which makes
the work Of the horses much easier
The lighter private vehicles are still
running on wheels and will probably
continue to, do SO unless the snow be,
coIues CONSIDERABLY deeper. Il. 5. Out
ram. section director of the weather
bureau, said today that he expected the
storm to end about II O'Clock tonight
BY that time the snow should be be-
tween six and seven inches deep.
Weather. bureau reports show that
the local storm is only part of vast
the Dakotas, Kansas and Nebraska on
the west to the Atlantic seaboard. The
storm is cyclonic in character. On the
west the cold winds from the north
west are sweeping down across the prai
RES and it is showing at Pierre anc
Huron. S. D., North Platte, Neb., Dodge
City, Kan, Port Arthur, Can, Duluth
Green Bay, Wis, and Kansas City, Mo
On the east a warm air current from
the. gulf is blowing. to the north ant

Weather Conditions.

The low pressure over southern Texas
yesterday morning has moved to the
middle Mississippi valley as a severe
and widespread storm, the influence of
which extends fl ON the central portions
of South Dakota, Nebraska and Kan
sas eastward to the Atlantic coast, and
from the gulf TO Lake Superior, with
rains in the middle Mississippi valley as
far north as so uthern Minnesota and
southern Visions IN, also in the Ohio val
ley and the sou theastern states, and
snow in central Minnesota and the east
ern and central parts of South Dakota,
Nebraska and Kansas. There has been
decided rise in temperature since
yesterday morning ,sslong the Mississippi
and thence eastward in the lake region,
Minnesota, Manitoba. and the Dakotas,
while in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and
New Mexico there has bee fall in
temperature. The circulation of winds
around a eyclonic center is well shown
on this mornings chart. Reports from
some Of the southern stations are miss.
ing because of wire trouble. The north

be attended by snow and somewhat cold
er in this vicinity tonight, followed by

DEFIED SUNDAY ORDER;
IS SEVERELY PUNISHED

. Mayor Jones today recoked the sa-
loon license of O. J. Hawkins, lit
Washington avenue N. AS a further
penalty, Judge Waite sentenced Haw-
kins to the workhouse for twenty days
without the alternative Of fine.
Hawkins thought that he had a fine
plan for beating the Sunday closing
order. He had a few of the inner cir
Gle of his patrons admitted to rooms
upstairs, over the barroom, and there
he dispensed his wares, as he thought,
undetected. The police arrested him
for selling liquor on Sunday. This
charge was dismissed in the municipal
court and the charge Of selling liquor
without a license was substituted. As
the license only permits the sale. Of
liquor in the single barroom, Hawkins
had no defense - whatever, and was
quickly convicted. -

NEW SERVICE BEGINS
Special Wagons Expedite Mail Collec
. ton in Business District.

New mail collection. wagons started
on their rounds today: Only one Of
the special wagons designed for this
service was ready and an ordinary de-.
livery wagon was used. The second
wagon will be ready Jan. 49, The SER
vice has hardly been tested as yet, but
so far as the postoffice authorities can
see, it is wor king well. There were
a few bitches today, owing to the fact
that the carriers were unfamiliar with
the new arrangement. =
4. AS the plan is now being carried out,
the wagons make wide circuit around
the central postoffice. The radius Of
this circuit is, approximately, fou
blocks. The wagons leave the, office
every half hour. The carriers outside
this circuit collect the mail from the
boxes in the business district and carry
it to some designated point, where it
is transferred to the wagons. With this
service the business district will have
half-hourly. collection of mails from
7 am. to 10 pm. In a few. days the
wagons will begin taking mail direct
from the business houses which send
out 200 or more letters at a time.

this is more than is needed. On account
