The license for the notorious McEl-
roy's saloon on Commercial street
would have expired on the 2lst Of the
present month but 1t was renewed on
the 18th and runs FOR three months.
While n license has been granted 10
all the places previously mentioned in

power to revoke the license II such ac-
ton Is deemed necessary.
Chief of Police Sheets states that pro-
prietors of saloons complained OF have

failure TO comply with the order means
that they VIII be closed up by the

The license for the Sindar saloon ex-

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Spanish Girl Shoots at Her Sister,
Barely Missing Her.

AT an early hour this morning, In a
house OF I'll fame at the rear of 243
south East Temple street. an attempt
TO murder was made as a result of a
row between two sisters named Reeves,
inmates OF the house.
The first name of the intended victim
was not learned, but the girl who tried
to kill her sister IS Allegro Reeves, a
Spanish girl The trouble arose be-
cause the sister refused to have any
thing to do with a man who called at
the place. Allegro became enraged
and. drawing a 32-caIiber revolver from
the folds Of her skirt she fired at hN
sisters head. Twice the revolver re-
fused to FIRE. but the third attempt
was successful. The bullet went within
an inch OF the young woman's head and
buried itself In the wall
Immediately there was an uproar.
The girl who did the shooting was
quickly elected from the house In all
her finery and was seen 10 wander up
and down the street. The police were
notified but were unable to locate the
girl.

Alex. Barry of Moscow Says Peo-
pie Are Not Ripe for Con-
StitutionaI Regime.
MASSES ARE INDIFFERENT.
Neither Understand Nor Care for
True Political Rights-lncap-
able Of Popular Regime.
Up 10 the Present Time Revolutionary
Ideas Have Found No Lodgment
IN the Army.

Moscow, Jan. 2S.--Alexander Barry, u
naturalized American who is among
the prominent manufacturers OF Mos
COW, talked exceedingly gloomily OF
the situation here. MIR. Barry employs
from 800 to 5000 men and unquestion-
ably has a more profound knowledge
Of Russian conditions than any Ameri-
can in the empire, He is convinced
that the Russian people are not ripe
for fun constitutional regime.
The opening Of the flood gates OF agi-
tatlon by the publication Of the i'm
perial reform manifesto only serves
to demoralize a portion OF the masses
who had already been disturbed by the
agitators
Continuing Mr.. Barry said
The ignorant masses really have
none Of the political aspirations attri-
buted TO them by the agitators, but ow-
ing to their poverty they are easy prey
to the appeals for liberty which for
them means license. That they neither
understand nor care for true political
tights Is shown by the fact that in
Moscow less than 10 per cent and In
TIE provinces nor over per cent Of the

Men Who Know What Mountain
Life is In Winter Time Point
Out Dangers.
THEY WILL COME VERY SOON.
Snow is Now Very Deep and More
Is Expected to Fall Within
The Next Few Days.
That With Rising Temperature Means
That the lives Of Scores of Miners
VIII Certainly be Imperfect.

That more great snowsldes are due
this winter than for many years is the
opinion of men who spend their lives
in the mountains and who know the
way the snow IL packed in the Cotton
woods and other steep canyons around
Salt Lake. The slides Of Saturday
and Sunday are only the beginning,
and II is antlc .pated that the next few
weeks will be particularly dangerous
ones, and that more snow and warmer
weather will but add to the peril OF
passing through the mountains and
specially from camping In the canyons.
The cause for this unusual condition
is given by miners from the Cotton
woods today, who explain that the
extra heavy snowfall during November
and December packed the ground to
level above the brush and timber tops.
After that the January thaw melted
the surface. and when it froze again 1t
was sheer ice coating, slippery, and
forming the best possible basis for a
big slide, should any more snow accu-
mulate upon It.
Since this thaw ore big storm Of wet
snow has piled layer over this icy
bed, and as the thermometer is now
rising again and another snowfall Ia
anticipated, the outlook is for many
big slides.
From Alta word came this afternoon
that the Columbus Consolidated had
succeeded In repairing its broken down
electric line. ana that both its power
plant and mine were operating. The
water that has accumulated since the
pumps ceased working is being thrown
out, and the shifts viii be working
again within few days.
The situation at the Continental Alta
is not so promising, although work will
begin on the demolished towers OF the
tramway at once and repairs will be
completed as quickly as possible.
The disastrous slides are causing gem
eral comment on the denudation Of the
Cottonwood slopes Of their timber, and
II Is generally asserted that had the
threes been allowed to remain the
slices could NOT utCur IN any large size.
The proposed cultivation of trees un-
der the forest reserve provisions Is
expected 10 help greatly in preventing
disasters in the future.
