F[|NT'S CHOICE
GAINS FAVOR
Charles Elliott May Be
Made United States
Marshal.
Special Dispatch to rh. Call.

CALL BUREAU, POST, BUILDING,
WASHINGTON. June 4.-Charles T. Ell,
liott of Stanislaus probably will be ap-
pointed United States Marshal at San
Francisco. Senator Flint has strongly
recommended the appointment of Ell
liott to President Roosevelt. Senator
Perkins, however. has urged State
Senator Coggns for the place, but the
selection of Elliott is confidently ex-
pected.
The bill providing for the erection
of a monument at Monterey in memory
of Commodore Sloat probably will not
become a law at this session of Con-
gres. Several bills making appropria-
tions for monuments of similar char
acter- passed the House today, but the
Sloat monument bill, which is under
stood not to meet the appreciation Of
Speaker Cannon, was not included
among them.
The California IS per cent bill,"s
ing the State per cent of the sales of
it's public lands, also failed of con-
sideration by the House today The
Speaker has decided that no more bills
shall be passed under suspension of
the rules during this session and it
is therefore certain that the per cent
bill will not now be taken up. The
California delegation is much disap-
pointed by the failure of this bill.
1t is said that the Speakers lack of
interest in this bill, as we'll as in the
Sloat monument measure. is due to
the attitude of the California delega-
| ton on the statehood bill. The mem
| bers of the delegation have taken a
stand on this question in direct oppo-
sition to the Speakers views and Can
non, 1t Is understood, expressed dis
pleasure accordingly.
An effort will be made by Represen-
tative Hayes and other California
members to get the provisions of the
Hayes bill increasing the limit of cost
| of the Angel Island immigrant station
/ to S266,000 attached to the sundry civil
appropriation bill. which will come UP
tomorrow. Otherwise there is little
likelihood of action on the proposition
this session.

tition on Behalf of
ConvictS.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

SACRAMENTO. June 4.-Thomas A
Atkinson. Speaker Of the Assembly. has
launched a campaign to free ballot
box suffers Rebsteek. Wyman and
Stefens from prison. Up TO today the
political interests these three convicts
represented did not have the courage TO
seek 10 free them from the peniten-
ti5ry. but now that mems minds are
occupied with greater things the op-
portunitv has been seized and the cam
paign for freedom is on. Furthermore,
Atkinson. from whose district the pre-
cloUs trio broke into jail now wields,
by virtue Of his Office. greater influence
than he has heretofore enjoyed and he
is taking fun advantage of the fact.
: So Atkinson made the rounds Of the
Assembly this morning. armed with the
following petition;
To His Excollency. George c. Pardee,
. Governor of California:
Sir-The undersigned members OF the
Assembly of the State of California re-
- specIfully request your EXcellency 10
pardon Joseph Rebstock. Charles Wy
man and Adolph Stefens. each of whom
has been convicted OF a violation OF the
primary election law at the. primary
election held in the city and county OF
- san Francisco in August, 1904. We
think there were many mitigating cir
. cumstanceS IN connection with the OF
fenses of each OF said persons and that
sufficiently punished
Atkinson's name leads the list of
fsigners. which includes a majority of
the members of the lower House of the
Legislature. Many signed the petition
because the Speaker asked them to; it
- is dangerous for lawmaker to incur
the displeasure of a Speaker. Several,
including Perkins. signed the document
without understanding its contents AS
son as he discovered the nature of the
document Perkins ordered that his
name be stricken Of
The address usually made by Atkin-
son when presenting the document for
the signature of a confrere was touch
ing.
These unfortunate men have been
punished enough" said Atkinson, and
they should be freed. The recent ca
lamity has thrown new burdens upon
their relatives and they should be
freed that they may care for those
that suffered loss in the disaster Jus
-tice. has been done and we are going 10
ask the. Governor TO free these men;
for they should be freed They have
, uttered enough"
This speech usually brought the sig
nature. 1t is quite possible that an
effort viii be made TO secure the aid
of the Senate tomorrow, but Atkin-
sons courage may not hold out that
long.
Then, again, II is quite possible that
the san Francisco machine may try to
do something for Harry Bunkers. 1t
might well be said. also. that Harry
has suffered enough II is good plea

Rebstock and Stenens, il may also be
made TO work TO the advantage of the
boodlers Of the last session.

COMMISSION CLOSES ITS
WORK IN SALT LAKE CITY
Utah Coal Companies on the Grill and
Sensational Evidence Secured
Against These Corporations.

Salt Lake City.-The conclusion o.
the Interstate commerce commission
on Friday was no less sensational
than the entire proceedings have been.
The Utah Fuel and allied coal com.
panies were on the grill, and the EVIL
dence secured against these corpora
lions was uglier, If possible, than that
secured against the Union Pacific
railroad and coal companies at the
September hearings
1t was asserted by witnesses on Fri
day that the Utah Fuel and allied
companies with the Rio Grande rail
road system, not only secured control
of the coal deposits of Utah by Win
chester persuasion but for years held
full sway over the wires of the West
ern Union, thus holding all possible
means of getting relief which might
be sought by the would.be independ
ent producer.
Testimony was submitted which
showed that the combine Of Rio
Grande and Rio Grande Western and
their allied coal companies secured
the largest portion of the vast coal de
posits in southern Utah; owned the
only means of transportation, thus
controlling the supply on Utah mar.
kets. and was dictator supreme OF the
Utah coal situation.
Armed thugs, it was asserted, were
hired by the coal companies in Car
bon and other counties to keep of
any would-be Independent producers,
and these thugs played their part well
Shooting was common during the
fights and feuds over possession of
coal lands and the courts were laughed
Mt by the men placed in charge of the
deposits.
Secret rates were described. Charles
Livingston, former employe of the
Utah Fuel company, asserting that his
company enjoyed one-half cent per
100 pounds per mile rate on freight
This rate, which was far below the
regular tariff rate. was enjoyed until
August of the present year.

NEwHousE INVESTS 5 MILLIONS
Millionaire Mine and SmeIter owner
Shows His Faith in Utah.

Salt Lake City.-The most gigantic
individual deal in commercial real es-
tate ever attempted in Salt Lake City
and one of the most important and
significant transactions of it's kind the
west has known in years was con-
summated here Friday night, when
Samuel Newhouse, the multi-million'

cured the final option that gives him
control of practically complete half
block of property in the heart of Salt
Lakes retail business district and
three big corners outside the block in
its immediate vicinity-in all three
quarters of a mile of business street
frontage and eleven downtown bust
ness corners.
The deal involves a consideration OF
s1OU0,000, to be paid out in cash for
the property now held under option by
Mr.. Newhouse within the next sixty
days; the expenditure of $5,000,000 in
improving the property, including the
erection of two sky-scrapers, and fin
ally the immediate acquisition of more
property in the vicinity of the halt
