SUTHERLAND GIVEN
ONE PLUM At LAST
Junior Utah Senator Grudg.
ingly Permitted to Name
POOrhOuse Keeper.

After waiting for two and one.half
weary years, since his elevation to a
seat among the mighty, George Suther~
land, junior United States Senator from
Utah and political valet to Apostle
Reed Smoot, was permitted on Monday
Tor the first time TO name a public Off
clal. The County Commissioners
chopped off the head of James Sabine,
Jr, superintendent of the county in
hrmary, and named Joe Cottle, Re.
publican ward hecler and henchmau of
Senator Sutherland, in his place Sena-
tor Sutherland has been working for
nearly six months to secure this ap-
poiutment for his friend
Commissioner John G.. Mackay, who
Is opposed on principle to giving any
office to Gentle that a Mormon is
willing TO fill, voted against the change.
He declared that Sabine S removal was
due purely to politlcs-which is a SOL
emn fact-and that he was opposed
to any change. Sabine. he declared.
was a competent public official. He sue,
ceeded the notorious "Mutton Bill'
Jones as head of the irfrmary shortly
after Mutton Bill' lost his famous
libel suit against The Tribune
Cottle, however, has additional claims
on the Republican machine in addition
to his friendship for Senator Sutherland,
which didn't cut much figure anyway
Cottle was one of the patriots who en-
gineered the deal TO place a stool
pigeon "labor ticket in the field in
the county campaign last fall to divide
the American vote. This service count
ed for much with the majority OF the
County Commissioners.

HAD A BAD BILL
Proprietor of Germania Saloon Was,
However, Wise to the Game,

About once every month or oftener
some enc passes a bill for So or $40 on
the defunct Merchants and Planters
bank OF Savannah, Ca, on some local
merchant, Usually the victim does not
discover that ne has been worked until
the CRATER has made his getaway
The matter is reported to the police with
the request that the man be captured
AT least dozen of this kind of cases
has been reported TO the police within
the last SIX months.
The latest man to try the game was
j w, Mckenzie. who attempted TO pass
one of the bills at the Germania saloon
Saturday night. The proprietor to whom
1t was offered had been caught once be-
fore with so bill Of the same charac-
ter. and was wise TO the game. Before
the fellow could get out Of the saloon
the proprietor called In Officers Beckstead
and Clough and had the man arrested
At first the fellow stated that he had
not tried TO pass the bill. but later con-
fesscd that he was about TO pass il. but
that he thought that il was genuine
money.
a complaint was sworn to Monday aft
ernoon against Mckenzie. and he will
have an opportunity 10 explain the mat

ing in Attempt to Impugn

in conversation with Mr.. Barlow of the
Board OF Works and Secretary Christen-
sen said something jokingly about me
wanting to get hold OF cash. / have OBJ
banks do not want 10 handle scrip and
there is a difficulty in disposlng of IT,.
That is the only objection. There is
nothing about the credit of the city, /
am perfectly willing to take warrants
such as my contracts call for"
that Birch would refuse TO accept city
warrants. and a still more unreliable
morning journal made the Herald's story
the basis OF an editorial, commencing
Birch for impugnnG the credit OF Salt
Lake City. Both were equally astonish-
ing to the contracto who disclaims any
such intention.
City warrants for special improvements
are liens upon the property abuttlng the
improvements, and the reflection alleged
TO have been intended by Birch would
have been against the value OF city real
estate rather than against the credit of
the city.
The statement also was made that city
warrants were at a discount at present
in the city banks. This is nonsense, as
they are received at par everywhere. One
instance has come TO light OF a charge
warrant OF $50, but the charge was made
by the clerk at the bank wrongful!y. The
papers in question have confused the
warrants with scrip.

WELLS TRIES To
KILL ORDINANCE
Measure Limiting the Amount OF
Garbage to Be Hauled by
City Wagons.
AMENDMENT INCREASES
COST OF WORK $50 A DAY
Ordinance Referred to Commit
tees and VIII Come Up at
Next Meeting.

For some reason or other, f. 5.
Wells. one Of the twenty.siN general
authorities of the Mormon church, apd
also a member Of the city council, has
been making a determined effort to de-
feat an ordinance limiting the amount
of garbage TO be hauled by the city
wagons At present it is claimed that
some of the bigger firms are unloading
a very large amount of garbage on the
city and that the wagons get their
loads at these places to the detrlment
of the more general removal.
1t is TO remedy this that the ordi-
nance was introduced at the request OF
the health authorities. Wells. by IN
Producing an amendment requiring the
garbage cans kept off the street, which
would necessitate an increased eNpend-
iture of over $50 a day for the work,
managed 10 have the ordinance de-
feated a week ago re-consldera-
tion was moved at the meeting Mon
day evening by Councilman Martin,
when Wells came in with another
amendment, requiring the cans TO be
placed somewhere off the street, not
over twenty-five feet from the front
of the residence or place of business.
This was supported by the Mormon
contingent and Councilman Mulvey:
Councilman Holiday explained that
the ordinance was killed because of the
amendment Offered by Wells at the for
mer meeting The increased expense
of $50 day was too much. 1t had
only been introduced at first to pro
tect the smaller firms and not TO al
low some large concerns TO dump all
their garbage on the city TO carry
away,
Mnlvey favored the passage Of
Wels's amendment and did not care
what it cost. Fernstrom spoke on the
same line, and Wells denied that he
had tried to kill the ordinance in the
interests of the big firms. Preece
thought that If the health inspector
did his duty the wagons need not car
~ away so much rubbish from a few
firms.
In consideration of the increased
cost which the amendment would en-
tail, Councilman Ferry moved that the
whole matter 90 TO the finance com
mittee with the sanitary committee.
This was carried and this ordinance,
which has been pending for some time
now, will go over for another week.
The ordinance creating inside sewer
districts and compelling connections
also TO allow no building permit un~
less connection is made when there is
q sewer within reach, went over TO

ANOTHER FLAG RUSH
BY HIGHSCH00L BOYS

The fagpoe at the highschool seems
TO be a drawing card for rough houses
Some time ago the junior and senior
classes had a hot fight over the ,oS fiag,
which was displayed on the pole, and
Monday the sophomores and freshmen
had a good, stiff squabble.
Some time before the beginning of the
school session bunch of Union school
boys strung a 'O7 flag 10 the top or the
pole. When the sophomores saw this
they made q rush 10 get the flag down
The freshmen rushed the sophomores,
and the result was a sort Of rough and
tumble fight. When IL was over the flag
was down and in possession of the fresh
men, who had taken ii from the sophs
after they had succeeded in getting it
down. Several OF the principals in the
squabble made an exit from the fight
with black eyes. bleeding noses and
numerous other injuries. The fresh,
men took the part OF the '0I class and
won out. but they failed 10 put the flag
back OH the pole. Although Professor
Eaton is after the miscreants In hot
foot style It Is probable that there will
be another mlX-up today.

HAVE FUN WITH MORAN
He Is Joshed by Councilmen for Occu-
pYing a Thoroughfare

Pat Moran received a slight reminder
from the City Council Monday night of
the existence of such a body. Moran has
built a trestle on "J'' street from Second
street TO Third street He has been
using this for the purpose OF dumping
gravel. and did not ask the permission
of the Council when he took up the
greater part of a street on which he was
not working under contract.
This annoyed TudG enham, the member
from that precinct, and he was on hand
with resolution making IL necessary for
all contractors In future. when they de-
sired TO use any part OF any street other
than those where their work lies 10
first obtain permission OF the Council on
u street, he said. Moran had construct
ed a trestle sixteen feet high and had
taken possession Of a whole block Of the
street.
Councilman HOLIDAY said This was what
contractors had been doing for all time
and Moran was only going the others
one better. MulNey thought at least he
should have asked the councilman from
the precinct.
Carter. chairman of the streets commit
tee. agreed that this was wrong. and the
resolution was passed.
Then 10 soothe the feelings OF Moran
who was present. the Council passed a
resolution giving him the right to erect
the trestle, which is already up and in
use
