PITIFUL PLEA OF MONDELL
Argument Against Cutting Off Of
fetal Heads of Land Office
Receivers.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, May 10.-Representative
MondeI today introduced a bill limiting
entries under the desert land act to sur
veyed lands and limiting the assignment
OF desert land entries to qualified indi-
viduaI entrymen. 1t is expected that with
these notifications in the desert land act
criticisms of it will in part be removed,
and there will not be as determined an
effort to repeal il as heretofore.
Representative MOnden today appeared
before the house committee on appropria-
lions and presented an argument against
the proposal to omit making an appro-
priation in the sundry civil appropriation
bill for the pay of such receivers of
United States land offices whose terms
of office expire during the coming fiscal
year. 1t is estimated that the terms of
twenty-five receivers will expire during
the coming year. and it is proposed by the
committee to abolish these offices by
emitting to make an appropriation for
salaries after the terms expire. 1t is es-
timated that a saving of $4,000 would be
effected by such action. Representative
Monden made a plea for the retention of
the officers and for the appropriation of
fIlnds to nay the salaries. and cOntended
that there will be no saving by abolish
ing the offices on account of increased
clerk hire and increased fees to registers.
and that the public business would suf-
fer by the proposed action

Bingham, May 1O.-Superintendent of
Streets and Water Fred E. Lewis, who
rendered his resignation to the town board
a week ago, is now being sought for by
the town authorities as well as by the In
duStrial Union of Bingham, of which he
was treasurer.
No trace or clue of the former superin-
weeks. when he left town. He had been
on a spree which lasted for ten days pre-
ViOus to his leaving, and when he left he
had several hundred dollars which he had
received from water rent collections and
funds of the union.
A rigid search has been made by his
bOndsmen in Salt Lake City and neigh
boring towns. but to no avail A warrant
is out for his arrest sworn to by the
town authorities. and a thorough search
will be instituted to apDrehend him

no money was turned in and the town has
no means of knowing who paid and who
did not pay for that month. The Indus
trial Union may be out about 500. which
amount was entrusted to Lewis.
Heavy drinking and desperate pIunging
at the gambling houses is the reason
MANY of the watermaster's friends fear
that something has happened to him.
Yesterday a number searched the hills.
Mr. Lewis was one of the most promi-
nent men in town and was very popular

ON R0WDY BALL
Does it Pay to be "Tuff" on
the Diamond-Read and
Learn.

Does rowdy ball playing pay? Men,
hers of the Chicago club say that it
doesn't and point to their standing in
the National league race as proof Of
their assertion. The Cubs" indulge in
little or no kicking on decisions and
play thoroughly clean ball. Their
chances of winning the penant appear
brighter than those of any other club
just now.
On the other hand. fans all over the
circuit declare that the New York
Giants win a large percentage of their
games by rowdy ball and bluffing the
umpire. The Giants are the greatest
kickers in the business, but even so
they are entitled to the credit of get
ting away with two pennants and a
worlds championship.
The Pittsburg players were dubbed
the Pirates" several years ago on ac-
count of tactics similar to those prac-
ticed by the Giants of today. The
Pirates" were accused of stealing
their games, but they won three pen
nants in row and were hailed as the
greatest of ball teams. Today the
Pittsburg team is model of deport-
ment on the field. Heinie PETIT being
the only member banished from a
game this season. But good be-
havior has not put the Pirates in
position to capture championship
honors
The Chicago Nationals may win the
pennant by sticking to anti-rowdy
ball. But the fact still remains that
the fighting teams are the ones that
have made good for several seasons in
