IT is not mistake TO say that people
ton of the law in this country because
of the ease with which criminals can
escape punishment through the help OF
ski!lful lawyers. Techncalities of one
sort and another, exceptions, alleged
errors, and so on, have obtained the re-
lease of many q man who should have
been punished to the limit OF the law.
Here is the way Judge Amidon puts it.:
after an experience of l25 years, we
have not that swiftness and certainty
of legal action, that respect for the
law which ought to characterize a civil
lied people; on the contrary, this prin-
ciple has brought inefficiency in legal
administration, a pestilence of refine
ments and new trials, and such a reign
of disregard for law among both high
and low, rich and poor, as has seldom
been seen in civilized nations. | know
we convict men and send them to the
penitentiary, but | state it here as a
fair statement of the administration of
the criminal law in America, that if a
man has the means to employ able
counsel so as to make fight, as we
say, in the great majority of cases he
can escape punishment for crime. The
trial can be SO protracted, SO enmeshed
in such complication Of pleading and
evidence as to resultnot in every
case, oh no, but in the majority of cas-
es-in error which, under this doctrine
of presumed prejudice, may nullify a
conviction y

ACCORDING to an opinion from the
attorney generals office, the mere sign
ing of a nomination paper does not bind
a man legally or morally to support or
vote for the candidate whose paper he
has signed. This question has been the
subject of discussion among politicians
generally since the primary law went
into effect.

MEMELIK HAS A RELAPSE
Trouble Certain in Abyssinia as Soon
as the Breath Leaves
His Body.

Rome. Dec. s2.-Reports from an au-
thoritative source declare that Menelik,
KING of Abyssinia, has suffered a fresh
attack of syncope. Apprehension is felt,
ana especially as recently the negus
seems TO have changed his mind about the
longer certain that Jjsu, son of Menelik' s
daughter and Ras Michael, will be chos-
en-, and If this is so the struggle for the
throne will be fierce. These difficulties
are augmented by the differences be-
tween the representatives in Abyssinia of
ltaiy, Great Britain and France These
diplomats have been in Abyssinia since
tne time when the interests OF their re-
spective governments conffieted strongly
Iney nave not buried the personal resent
ments aroused during that period, and
tney are today adversaries. in spite of the
Iact tnat their governments are acting in
accord. Italy and Great Britain have de-
cloed 10 recall their representatives and
1t is believed that France will follow suit.

SHELTERS HAVE
MANY FRIENDS
Movement to Modify Injunc-
ton Meets Unexpected
Encouragement.
PETITION TO BE PUSHED
FINANCE COMMITTEE ENGAGED
IN RAISING FUNDS.

The circulation OF the two petitions
prepared by the Murray Business and
Promotion association, regarding the
smelter removal question will be pushed
with vigor after the holidays The COM
mittee in charge of the work has now
formulated its plans and each of the five
members will devote considerable time to
the work. The fact that a large terri
tory is to be covered will neceSsitat9 the
expenditure of a considerable sum OF
money and the finance committee is now
engaged in raising funds among the bust
ness men of Murray.
The movement is meeting with unex-
pected encouragement In all quarters,
and 1t is freely predicted that such a
showing will be made that the farmers
committee can not insist for any great
period on maintaining in ali its drastic
force Judge Marshall's Injunction. Al
ready large number of the farmers who
signed the petition for the original in
junction proceedings have signified their
willingness 10 have the decree modified
in some satisfactory manner or to con-
sent to an adjustment of the smoke con-
troYersy out of court. 1t is expected.
however, that the petition to be signed
by all the interested parties in the coun-
~, and to be presented to the farmers
committee, viii probably have the great
est Influence, as it will show conclusive
ly that the majority of the people are
not in sympathy with any action which
viii tend to deprive Salt Lake or the sur
rounding territory of the benefits de-
rived from the presence of the sInelters.
The strongest argument among the
farmers will be the taxation question.
and an effort will be made to show them
that if the smelterS move their taxes
win be much greater than at present. In
order to show these facts definitely the
Murray association will compile figures
from the assessors books which are ex-
pected to demonstrate that the Smelters
pay a large proportion of the taxes in
Salt Lake county.

WAY OUT OF DIFFICULTY
California Legislature Will Be Asked
to Repeal Section of the
School Law.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec 22-That the
controversy over the segregation of the
japanese school children may be settled
without bringing about a clash between
the United States authorities and the
munlcipal government is the hone of fed
eral OFFICIALS A movement has been in
augurated to bring about a COMPROMISE
between the board of education and the
japanese. 3'U '''0
Today Aaron Altman president of the
BOARD OF education, was approached with
a tentative proposal to arbftrate the en-
TIRE controversy. the basis of arbitration
peing that the japanese native-born chill
dren should be allowed to attend the San
francisco schools that American children
DO, provided they are of the same age as
the latter Altman refused to consider
the possibility of arbitration along these
lines He reiterated his position that it
is mandatory on the part of the board of
education TO seg-egate the Japanese chill
dren under the present state school laws
The persons who are striving to adjust
the matter in behalf of the Japanese and
the federal authorities are now planning
to attempt to induce the next state legis-
lature to repeal that section Of the code
dealing with the establishment of sep
arate schools for children of Indian, Chi
nese and Monaghan descent, and enact
new law which will give the board of ed
ucation scope to deal with the present
situation in this city.

SIMPLER WINS $50 PRIZE
you Can't Keep a Good Town
Down." His Motto for
Salt lake
''You can't keen a good town doWn

You can't keep a good town down"
For coming this expression, Harry
Simpler, commercial photographer, re-
ceived yesterday a Christmas present in
the form of check for $50, given by
Stowe & Palmer, real estate dealers.
This realty firm offered a prize of $50
several weeks ago in competition for the
coming of a phrase which aptly describes
Salt Lake City, it's advantages and op-
portunities. The contest was advertised
widely in the local newspapers, and an
swers were received from nearly every
town in the state and from a number of
non-residents of Utah.
The notices were written on a slip
of paper, and also on the outside of a
sealed envelope, in which was inclosed
the name of the contestant.
These slips and envelopes containing
the names were given to the judges of the
contest, William Igleheart, manager of
the Herald; Frank j. Sefrit, manager of
the Tribune, and Malcolm McA1iister
manager of the Inter-MOuntain Republi-
can. When the choice of the judges had
been made the envelope upon which was
written the same motto was opened.
Harry Simpler was found to be the win
ner of the contest.

MONEY FOR THE SCHOOL FUND.
Dispensary Officials Promise to Remit
$4,000 a Week OH Last Years Ac-
count.

Columbia, Oct. 31.-The authori-
ties Of the State dispensary have
promised to remit to the State treas
urer $4,000 a week for the school
fund until about 100000 is paid in.
1t will be recalled that at the session
Of the dispensary investigating COM
mittee last year it was brought out
that the disrensary then owed the
school fund sl14,0OO in round figures.
Since that time there has been only
one settlement. On March 2, $3.50
was paid for distribution, and Of
that amount about $4,000 yet remains
to the credit of the fund. In the
statement rendered by the dispensary
for the quarter ending August 81, The
alaount due the school fund is placed
at $79,S34.41 and the capital stock is
placed at $500, 900, belonging to the
school fund" The cash in the State
treasury is placed at $44,637.95. but
this cash statement varies from day
to day and cannot be checked up to
the school: fund.
Commissioner Tatum requires all
retail dispensers to file their reports
aud send TO the State diSpcnsary every
week che a-,lount due the !ispcrSary.
There is no check on the school fund
which is sent to the treasurer at any
time and with which the State treas
urer has nothing to 90 except receipt
for and turn over to the comptroller
general for distribution by counties.
