Provo, April 2S.-The jury in the case
of the state VS. wallace Simmons came
in at 1880 tonight. after being out eleven
hours, with a verdict of guilty. Follow

Sam A. King, attorney for defendant

the jury that while in some cases the
law provided for a recommendation of
mercy, there is no authority for such a
verdict and instructed them to retire and

Prosecuting the Coal Combine.

1t is hardly to be doubted that the
most important inquiries into COM
mercial organizations since the
Northern Securities case will be
those of the railroad and coal COM
panies which VIGOROUSLY monOpoIiZe
the field of Industrial opportunity in
the Eastern coal regions. The North
ern Securities case was prosecuted by
an Attorney General who believed the
Sherman law as worth while after
everybody else had decided to the
contrary; and he proved his case.
The Northern Securities was bigger
than a billion-doIlar combine. but it
was not so big as the overshadowing
combination Of coal and carrying
companies that, with interests and
ownership inextricabIy interrelated.
keeps the greatest Industrial region
in the world in its umbrage.
New weapons. however. have been
placed in the hands of the Govern
ment prosecutors since the Northern
Securities case. Thus the anti-rebate
law viii come into this case as a ser
ious factor The Supreme Courts de-
cisiOn in the Northern Securities
case was Of the greatest importance
as a precedent for the coming pros
ecutions; the decisions that have
given the Government the right te
see books and papers; and the sweep
ing ruling, in a case handed down
only a few weeks ago, that coal
carrying railroads have an extremely
doubtful right TO be producers and
merchants of coal; all these things
are keen blades in the hands of so
skillful a legal fencer as Charles E
Hughes
But more powerful than any of
these things is the aroused public
opinion of the nation; the demand
that graft shall be exposed and end
ed; that something like equality of
opportunity shall be restored, thar
special privileges shall not be con-
ferred or arrogated. The coming
cases of the coal roads are likely to
prove the practical fruition from the
seed that the Northern Securities
case planted.

Stricken San Francisco.

American cities have of late been
particularly afflicted The Baltimore
fire, the Galveston flood, the Slocum
disaster, the Iroquois Theater fire
the Johnstown flood, are among the
disasters which have terrOrized COM
munities and appalled, the civilized
world Up to this time the confiagra-
ton which devastated Chicago in
1871 was regarded as the greatest
calamity in American history A
greater has now come TO the Pacific
Coast.
San Francisco has suffered as no
American city ever suffered. A great
fire is horrible enough. But it is 4
reasonable catastrophe, one that does
affect the courage Of man. Add 30
fire the terror of an earthquake. OF
whose approach there is no warning,
and of whose return there is danger,
and there comes TO the strongest of
men superstitiOus fear which pro-
vOkes panic
If. as we write. we could say that
the worst of the disasters were over,
then the work Of succoring the un-
fortunate could be hastened without
serious interference. But the end is
not in sight-unless it be the entire
destruction Of that beautiful city.
This mornings dispatches announce
that the fire has reached Mob Hill,
and that the Fairmount Hotel is
burning This means that the finest
residential section of San Francisco
is in danger from the flames. COnsid-
ering the sweep of the confagration
it would seem that the total result
will be too terrible and far-reaching
to contemplate.
1t is idle to talk of San Francisco.

Assistance from the outer world is

follow that because the rate Is SO
thousand On real property in the
District, some owners are not now
paying all their Just due, while 9TH
ers are paying far too little If it is
true, as Mr. GiIlett suggests, that our
personal tax is levied effectively only
on household effects, that would seem
TO be defect ia the law which only
Congress can remedy. and which it
ought 10 remedy speedily. Tax dodg-
ers are not in the ascendency
in Washington Our people, like Con-
Sress, would have the Capital q model
city. If it is not 50 because the tax
assessments are wrongly made, then
it is the duty Of Congress to enforce
proper assessments by all reasonable
laws
But the suggestion as to the half
and-half principle can be discussed
now. Mr. Gillett proceeds on the
theory that the balance of possessions
between the National Government
and the non-Governmental owners is
the basis of the division. On the con-
trary, that is one of its lesser aspects
William Alden Smith stated the chief
reason when he said:
had assumed that it was due to
the fact that the Government exercises
almost absolute control over the prop

exercising those rights the Governments
necessities grow with each year. the

Nothing less than absolute control
will enable Congress to make Wash
ington the city which the nation in
tends it to be. It would be neither
fair nor practical 10 levy the cost of
developing the city along such lines
exclusively against the residents of
the city IL would be no more fair
to allow the residents of the city to
share in the benefits of such develop
ment without paying their share of
the taxes. Those considerations it
was which produced the Organic Act
Of 1873, and in the discussion OF them
the exclusive control Of Congress was
the chief factor. not the welfare Of
the people of Washington.
