SECOND DISTRICT POLITICS.
St. Paul Pioneer Press Comment on
the Congressional Situation.

From Mondays Daily.
Today's Pioneer Press comments on
second district politics as follows:
Word comes from the Second district
that IT, j. Miller of Luverne, who ran
for congress against McCleary two years
ago and got a good sized vote, will make
the run again this year. Miller no doubt
would get as many or more votes than
he did two years ago, but whether he is
nominated will depend upon whether he
gets the solid support of the tariff re-
vfsionists. There are lots of people in
that district who believe in revision but
who would prefer some one else than
Miller to represent their ideas. Miller
is too modest to make an impression on
strangers and many fear he might be
too modest in asking for revision when
he gets to congress.
One rumor is that Gilbert Gutterson
is not really a bona fida candidate for
congress but is only trying to split the
opposition to McCleary. In support of
this it is stated that McCleary dismiss
ed one rural carrier who was working
against him two years ago, and if Gut
terson was real opponent he would
lose his present job, to which he was APP
pointed by McCleary. However, Gut
terson has not yet said he is a candi-
date but has only been mentioned by a
number of his friends, and until he is an
avowed candidate no one has a right to
knock him.
The Second district is the only dis
trict where anything except local oppo-
sition to the present representative has
been developed. Hardly a paper in the
district but is either knocking or boost
ing McCleary and the contest is watch
ed with interest all over the state.
There promises to be a lively time in
the district before November, and the
chances are that McCleary will shave
the time of his life"
Frank Eddy in commenting on the
situation remarked that sit is little cur
ious that every stand-pat editor in the
Second district is either a postmaster or
has hopes"

TO CATCH ''BOOTLEGGERS
Governor Cutler Advises Wa
SatCh County Authorities
to Hire Detectives.

Governor Cutler wrote letter to the
commissioners of Wasatch county yester-
day advising them to engage private de-
tectives to secure evidence against per-
sons guilty Of selling liquor to Indians on
what was formerly the Uintah reserva-
ton He said that he would recommend
to the next legislature the appropriation
of any reasonable sum to reimburse the
county for the services of the detectives
Several times of late the commissioners
have asked the state to assist them in
convicting the ''bootleggers." 1t is
claimed that the Indians, while they will
furnish information for the arrest of
liquor dealers, are invariably cajoled into
denying the Information by the time the
trial of the accused is reached As a re-
suit, while arrests have been frequent,
only one man in the county has been pun
ished and he pleaded guilty before he had
time to secure an attorney.
Indian Agent G. @. Hall has also made
frequent complaints to the governor
about the state of affairs on the reserva-
ton, and the governor believes that the
only way to remedy the matter is for the
authorities to secure evidence independent
of that of the Indians who purchase the
firewater.

George F. Pittman and Wallace Mat
tocks, telegraph operators in the en-
ploy of the Oregon Short Line at Pay
cite and Shoshone, Ida, have been

The two young men are from the
same town in Kansas. They came
west several months ago, and on the
way fell in with telegraph operators
who "wised them up as to how easy
it was to steal mileage and scrip books
from the company. On their arrival
here they secured employment with
the Oregon Short Line at the towns
mentioned, and proceeded to carry out
tn idea put in their minds by the
thieving operator. Both quit their
places finally, and Special Agent

MARTIN MAY FIGHT GRAB
"ExtraS" on Conduit Are Not
Viewed With Favor by One
American" Councilman.

City Councilman L. d. Martin, an
American" party man, may oppose
the $4,000 conduit grab proposed by
City Engineer L. G. Kelsey and Con-
tractor P. J. Moran. Mr.. Martin re-
turned yesterday from a ten-day trip
to Los Angeles He has been absent
during most of the discussion of the
proposed grab.
''As a practical contractor" said Mr..
Martin last night, 81 will have to be
shown the necessity for plaStering the
inside of the conduit. All practical
authorities are against the use Of plas-
ter in such case, while theoretical
authorities differ.
II wasn't here to inspect the conduit
with the other cOuncimen, and while
shall make a thorough investigation
before casting my vote, I am inclined,
with my present information, to oppose
voting money for extras"
Mr.. Martin made known his attitude
Immediately upon his return yesteT-
day, and it frightened the projectors
Of the grab, who are using every effort
to swing him into line. His vote will
probably be necessary for the grabbers
to control the American" party
caucus.

JUSTIFIED THE
JUDGES TRUST
Sentenced Prisoners Go to Jail and
Hospital Without Escort OF
Peace Officers.
CASE OF AWFUL DEPRAWTY
CHILD MADE ALLEGED VICTIM
OF OLDER PERSONS.

Honor where 1t would scarcely be
liberty may be awarded to girl of
II and Charles Baughman. The child
and Baughman and Al Miller, floor
manager of the Utahna Park pavilion.
and former prizef1ghter, and Emma
Salisbury, a woman of p, were ar
raigned in the juvenile court yesterday
on charge of contributing to the de-
linQuency of the 17-year-old girl.
Miller was sentenced to six months
in the county Jail. Baughman and the
Salisbury woman were given thirty
days each and the girl was ordered to
the state reform school at Ogden.
Judge Brown permitted the child to
make the journey from this city to the
school alone Last night she reported
her arrival and the authorities cOrrob-
GRATED her.
Baughman had only been in Jail a
short time when he got word to Judge
Brown that his wife, who is only a
girl, was seriously i'll. He asked to be
permitted to take her to a hospital.
The judge agreed and furnished the
money to pay the car fare of the man
and his sick wife and other expenses.
He allowed the man to go without the
escort OF an officer. Shortly before
midnight Baughman reported to the
judge that he had placed his wife in
the hospital and a little later he
'phoned that he was back in the
county jail. Judge Brown was pleased,
because his confidence in both cases
had been kept There was nothing to
prevent the man and the girl escaping
if they wished to do so.
The three persons, Miller, Baughman
and Miss Salisbury. were arrested on
complaint of the girls mother, who de
cIared that the child, together with the
Salisbury girl, Miller and Baughman, had
been participating in a series Of orgies

in Butte. and the girl had sister living
there. The Salisbury woman, although
much older than the girl, sWore that the
younger one was Responsible Tor her own
downfall. That Judge Brown placed lit
tie credence in her story was shown by
the fact that he sentenced her to jail tor
thirty days
The girl in the case, who is an attract
