More Evidence of Indifference
and Encapacity of Post
master Thomas.
CLERKS In CHARGE NOT
INSTRUCTED AS TO DUTIES
Sorry Testimonial to the Ad-
miniStratiOn of the Salt
Lake POst0fiCe.

Through prolonged row that has been
on between the clerE-in-chCrGc Of Sugar
House station and patrons cf that office,
there Is disclosed more evidence Of the
Indifference and iucapaclty of the Salt
Lake postmaster From an official stand
point, conditions that have existed at
Sugar House show that Postmaster
Thomas nor his suborduates know very
little about what Is going on in the Salt
Lake sub-5tluonG. Just how this matter
las escaped attention for so long n time
Is explained only on the ground that no
postoflicc Inspector who has lad charge
Cf this territory has done his duty even
In the smallest dC6rce.
Patrons Make Complaint.
Patrons Of Sugsr HouEs station have
complained time after time because tho
station Wls net kc1t Opcu during business
hours They have charged that Mrs.
SquiTos. the clerk-in- charge OF the sta
ticn would daily lock Up the station
about noon and remain away for as mucn
or more than two hours at Time II
IS said that one of the patrons made com
plaint formally To Postotiice Inspector
Sharpe and that he was received
oIscourteously and Informed that he would
pay no attention 10 the complaint unless
IL were made in writing.
Station frequently Closed.
Whether or rot the complaint has been
made 10 Postmaster Thorias Is not stated,
but an investigation OF several days by
reporter sor TIE Trlbunc reveals the fact
that the station has been closed up dur
Ing the noon hour and for considerable
period ut a time ever since II was made
a station years ago.
Why Not Keep oPenP
The excuse offered for this by the clerk
In charge, who is paid $500 q year. is that
she did not know that the postal regula-
hist
kept open from q. IN. until p. n.
Never Instructed as to Duties
She states that she was never instructed
as 20 her duties in this regard, and Post
master Thomas, when interviewed on the

Only Technical Violation.

Judge Powers further declared that II
there was any violation at all OF the law
II was purely technical. inasmuch as the
company was las solid a rock and
the instrument filed by Tyrcc was
genuine instrument. He cOntended that
the animus behind tho action was simply
to depose one set of officers and have an
other installed. adding: III this man can
be held and prosecuted under the law, no
man can afford TO be an officer or director
of o company that is compelled to file an
nuhl reports.
Judge Powers argued at length that
President Tyrcc was not the bookkecper
or the company and that he was In no
wise to blame for the manner in which
the accounts had been kept. He pointed
out thnt the States testimony had shown
that there was no defalcation or embez-
element, and held that there was nothing

cSly used one dollar OF the company'S
money.

IN HANDS OF VOTERS
Gompers Political Scheme Also
Rests with the Decision
in Maine.
BY w. W. Jermane,

Washington, Sept. S.-The election in
the Littletield congressional district in
Maine, which is now at hand, will have
an important bearing on the conduct of
the general campaign this year of the
American Federatio of Labor. Samuel
Gompers, chief of that organization,
has been in Mr.. Littlefield's district for
upward of a month, making formal and
informal speeches against Mr. Little
field, basing his arguments on the al
legged fact that the Maine man has op-
posed certain Of labor:'s demands for
national legislation.
AS the Littlefeld campaign is viewed
in Washington, should Mr.. Littlefeld
be defeated, labor leaders will take
heart and press their campaign in other
districts, on the theory that the people
are with them. Practically the same
view will be taken by Mr.. Gompers and
his associa tes should Littlefeld be
elected by a materially reduced
the federation in this city conf
dence was expressed during the
past week that Littlefeld would be
defeated. Should this confidence be
misplaced. and the Maine man be re.
turned by normal majority, labor will
encounter a decided setback, and the
ambitions Of it's leaders in the direction
ultimately of controlling the house Of
representatives shattered. ~

YOUNG MAN PROFITS
FROM BOGUS CHECKS
Grocers Cash Drafts in Payment for,
Bills of Goods-One Meets Swindler
Afterward and Is Reimbursed.

BY merely assuming an air Of inno-
cence clever forger who successfully
worked several deals yesterday, escaped
arrest, and was able later in the day to
pass more checks on unsuspecting vic
tins.
ing himself J. A. Carson, ordered a bill
of groceries at Swanson Brothers ,
store, 1900 Western avenue. His pur-
chases amounted to about So, and he
offered a check for $15 as payment, He
said he had just moved into the neigh
horhood and had no ready cash. He
gave his address for the delivery of
the groceries and the check was ac-
ceptcd. He received the difference in
cash.
me articles were sent to the number,
but inquiry showed that J. A. Carson
dld not live there. The grcccrs then
suspected the checks and their suspi-
clons were verified by the bank.
In the afternoon one of the members
OF the hrm was returning to- the store
after lunch he met the forger.
- on re just the man I want,D said
Swanson, grasping Carson by the Shout
der.
i. Instead Of paling and trying to get
away Carson became indignant and on
being accused Of passing a forged check
offered to prove by any bank in town
eifS'' he was DIS good as the wheat.
Swanson replied that he wanted no
proof; all he wanted was his money
back
We'll. if that is what YOU want YOU
are easily satisfied. Give me the
check,' said Carson.
Then. taking the money from his
pocket he reimbursed the grocer, prom.
ised to discontinue his PATRONAGE, and
departed: Swanson went to the near
est telephone and notified the police,
but the forger had other work to do,
and he proceeded to do it.
Carson went to the store of Lutzi &,
kily, 2447 Bloomington avenue and
worked the same scheme for $40 and
also passed check for SIS on Jonason
Peterson, Sixth avenue N and Lyn-
dale
Superintendent of Police DOYLE has a
good description of the man from the
three victims, but the forger is
thought to have left the city,. The
checks were made out to J. A. Carson
M and purported to be signed by R. G.
WINTER. They were drawn. on the st.

LIGHTNING EXHIBIT ATTRACTS
&c." CROWD -

| Townsley & Song State Fair Exhibit
Awe-1nsptring-The Use Of lightning
Rods Their. Demonstr Reveals
the Simple Purpose Of Rods.
The lightning rod agent of the past
was man to be dreaded, but times and
business principles are changin,. The
auctioneer at the state fair cattle sale
yesterday: expressed an epigram that is
age. He said. ".Honcsty is the best
tried both ways.'' So the times ana
science has found fair and a great
field for an honest lightning rod agent.
Most people think lightning is some
unexplalnable. and uncomfortable force
Of nature that wrecks its vengeance as
a visitation from the omnipotent, ms :
punishment for some crime, committed
OF. about to be committed. State fair
visitors, who have seen this wonderful
exhibit of Townsley & Sons, will 90
home with clear conception Of wiz
lightning strikes. '' ''' ~'-'s..--
Instead of allowing it to burst like
compressed air or steam in thin glass
globe, the lightning rod acts as q spout
and leads the positive force from the
ground up into the air, where It
presses to find the negative force and
there gradually they. unite, but with

Townsley & Sons use static machine
to generate the two forces, and then
use small model churches, houses and
barns at the point where the break in
the circuit is made. Vivid flashes of
real lightning, powerful enough to
knock q man down, are actually pro-
dueed. Indeed, Prof. Townsley has "a.
pair Of very badly. burned fingers as
the result Of q careless reach for q
loose rod that happened to be too close.
to the current. The professor elabo-
rates on the principle and peculiari-zz
ties of accumulated electricity and
many of the freaks Of lightning flashes
are clearly understood after listening
to his demonstrated lecture. This city.
takes pride in boasting Of one of the
first honest lightning rod manufac-
turers who sell their own improved
rods by men whom they vouch for. The
