MORMON ELDERS EASY.
Bogus English Nobleman Juggles Millions
Without Cent in Fertile West
ern Regions.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July o.
The things that the leading business men
of the Mormon church are saying about
Beresford Hope, who claims to be an
English nobleman, arc not pleasant.
Hope introduced many prominent Nor
mons to the game of frcnzied finance.
He is now in Boston, but they say that
he will have to come back to make an
accounting. His introduction to this city
was through the medium of letter from
the british American Securities Com
pany, limited,' since discovered to be
fictitious. The letter head set forth that
the company was working on capital of
5O,OOO,OOO Among the directors named
on the letter head were Lord Rothschild.
treasurer; Lord Decrhurst. chairman;
Lord Naux. Lord Talbot, Sir Alexander
Mckenzie and several others. Down III
the body of the letter was presented the
information that Hopes credit with the
corporation was good up to 100000. He
organized the Great Western Coal and
Iron company, capitalized at S1,oOo,OOO.
He alegedly asked n $4,000 check
signed by John Hill the Colorado
Springs banker. Hill declares ita forgery,
alleging that he does not know Hope.
Meanwhile, however, the Brltisher lad
made Hill president of his company and
had disposed of stock which bore the
name of Hill in the place where the
presidents signature should have been.
Hill also declares this to be forgery.
Hope is in Boston ostcnsibly TO obtain
money from the British-American Securi-
ties company for the financing schemes
which represent over SlOOO0O,OOO.
Among those who listened to the sirens
song as presented by Hope were Joseph
+. Smith, president of the Mormon
church and eX-otlicio president of some
twenty large Mormon corporations, and
David Eccles. Il millionaire Mormon of
Ogden. Ecclcs stood sponsor for Hope
on many of his schemes and gave him

KING MAY QUIT RACING.
Prince of Wales Will Be Depended Upon
to Keep Royal Colors on
the Turf

LONDON, July 1o.-There is a rumor
which, if true, will cause much regret
in sporting circles 1t is % the effect
that the King has decided to abandon
horse racing and that the present may
be his last season, most of his stables
being sold mt one of the Newmarket
October meetings.
Great persuasion will doubtless be
brought to bear upon his majesty to re
consider his decision. If. however, he
abjdes by it it is hoped that the Prince OF
Wales will start Il stable with some of
his fathers most promising horses and
rnce III his own name. King Edward
has no intention of breaking up his
breeding stud at Sandringham- He will
keep there most of the horses. such as
Persimmon and Diamond Jubilee, who
won fame in the past.

WANT BIG DEATH DUTY"
CHICAGO MEN WANT NATION TO
CUT DOWN LEGACIES.
Instead of I Per Cent Inheritance Tax,
New League Wants 10 to 90 of
Total for Government.

CHICAGO, Ill.,. July 10.-The imposi
ton of death duty" of from 70 to &c
per cent. on every estate of $4,000 or
over transmitted by inheritance is the
object of national organization for
which incorporation papers were filed
in Springfield by Chicago men yesterday.
The organization is the National Inter
state Inheritance Tax league
I'VE believe property inheritance and
succession are in direct violation of the
ideas of the Declaration of lndepend
euCe," said Frederick Mains. an attorney
who is the moving spirit of the organi
cation.
TO illustrate: Under the present stat
ute of Illinois. on an estate OF 100000
600 the state withholds $1,000, 0OO-l
per cent We hold that the people are
justified in providing by law that the
the heirs the 81 100000. The funds thus
derived might go to the payment OF all
public debts, relief from unjust taxation,
the purchase of existing public utilities,
the maintenance of better public
school system, insurance, and old age
pensions"
The board of review yesterday made a
formal demand upon the attorneys for
the Marshall Field estate to show cause
why back taxes should not be paid on
the $l7,50O,O0O of the Field personal
property scheduled in the probate court,
amounting to Sl.GTS,OOO i'll eight years.
Stirred by the Field case the board OF
review started its work by arranging to
summon several more alleged tax dodg'
ers. These, with the amount at which
they are assessed, are rs follows:
Norman h. Ream, 100000; Mrs. George
VI. Pullman, 100000; George NJ. Pullman
estate, S35,o57; JOY Morton. $4,000 Edison
Keith, Jr. $500; A. C. llonOre. 5000; Mrs.
Edison Keith. $4,000; Standard Oil com
pany, $4,000 Mrs. Z. d. Armour, $loo'r''.
The International Harvester company
is paying on full value according to the
board. This amounts to SS,llO.OOo. IN,
Illinois Tunnel company has been raised
from 5000. 600 to 1000. 900.

apolis in an address before the New
England Institute of Instructions today,
while dcporing the fact that teachers
wages are very low--in some cases less
than those of servant girls-declared
himself as opposed to teachers organic
iug for higher pay.
People Can Afford Better Pay.
He declared that the public can af-
ford to pay more for schools tkdn al
prcspn, because the country is pros
porous, Is growing richer, ana good
schools contribute as no other force does
t. the various kinds of productive cit!.
zcuSLIp.
The teacher IS the determining factor
in the success of schools. We demand
teachers possessing good health, scholar.
~ auanments, teaching power, socla
refinement and the ability to Use good
English. 50 far as schools fall short ,oi
teachers possessing these qualities SO TAR
are they waSteful, and 50 lar do they
fail to accomplish their purpose-the pro,
ductIon OF intelligent citizenship ANA
social efficiency.
Mr.. Kendall said further that in the
United States and excepting New York,
Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia, the
average yearly salaries of women teach
ers in the cities in the elementary schools
was only Scott In half of the cities the
average salary is less than 5000.
Men Can't Afford Teaching
SO far as men are concerned, they have
practically disappeared from teaching in
the elementary schools of cities, OWING to
the inadequate salaries.
The wages for women in half the
cities are less than those Of servant
girls, when it is considered that the lat

laundry. Moreover, they have no social
position to maintain, rs does the teach
cr, and the requirements of dress are
far less expensive. In many cities the
minimum wages If teachers are less
than the lahorers on the streets. This
labor is entirely unSkilled, while the
teacher has spent wears i'll preparation.
The wages of skilled labor are from -
to 100 per cent higher than teachers
wages.
The wages of teachers in the cities
are priucely in comparison with those
in the rural schools. In view of the de-
mauds mad" upon them, teachers are
therefore miScrahly underpaid. II seems
Incredible that the pay should be SO in
adequate for those in whose hands rests
the training for citizenship.
Not for Teachers Unions.
Mr. Kendall deprecated any attempt to
Systematically organize teachers for high
or pay. There should be discussion, how
ever, publicity of the facts, and agitation.
Teachers should use their efforts 10 Sc
cure necessary legislation which might
bring about better conditions. In In
diana the governor of the state has aD-
pointed Il commission consisting of lay
men, as well as educators, to investigate
the whole question Of teachers salaries

THE IDEAL SPORTING DOG.

The beagle is the ideal sporting
dog for the thickly populated portions
of the country. His disposition al
lows him to live at peace with his
n%eighbors, both canine and human,
and he is a constant source of pleas
ure both in the house and in the
field. His board bill is not a large
one, and his size is such that he
can be slowed away by the half doz-l
en-, under the seats of a wogan. His
game is always plentiful. Partridge,
grouse, prairie chicken, duck, pigeon,
plover, goose or turkey may be ex-'
tinct, but the little brown bunny, like
the sparrow, is ever with us. Foxes,
wolves, wild cats, mink, deer, bear,
moose and elk may have departed for
wilder and freer parts, but the rab-
bit lives on under the bramble bush,
always there to afford a good days
sport to the beagler. :
No one, however, will gainsay that
bench shows and field trials have add
ed much to the popularity of this
breed. Rawdon Lee, in his admirable
work, Modern Dogs" says of the
beagle: This is perhaps the only
variety of hound that has profited by
the institution of bench shows. He
has done this because he is small and
affectionate, pretty and docile, and in
many respects admirably suited to be
a pet dog Unfortunately, he'i is so
true to his instinct of hunting the
rabbit, and eve the hare, as to
prove a nuisance rather than other
wise, especially in country places,
where his melodious bell-like voice
will be continually heard in the COW
erts."
The beagle Is of all sporting dogs
the most tireless in his pursuit of
game, and he will make but an indif-
ferent pet, unless removed from all
opportunity for hunting. The earli-
est records, however, lay claim for
him as a pet. A Boston writer claims
that two thousand years ago the lap
dog of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra
was a beagle. This is improbable, as
is the story of their being hunted by
