on Government Causes
Difficulties

ST Petersburg, April % a say
age attack made tonight against the
government and the army by the so
cialist member NJ zuraboff, during
the first executive session Of the low
er house Of parliament caused a rup-
turc between the ministers and the
douma, which for time threatened
TO precipitate the dissolution of the
house
After NJ. zuraboH harangue, in
which he declared thar under an au-
tooratic regime the army was worth
less except against the people, and
that II was beaten whenever 1t en-
gagged in foreign war. the minister
withdrew from the house and served
an nltimatum upon President Colo

sions were retracted by NJ Znrabof
and the rule providing for temporary
suspension was applied against him,
they would sever all future relations

Ternie, b c. April 29.-The
strike situation reached It's crucial
point this afternoon. During the lat
ter part of the week both labor lead
crs, Lewis and Sherman. have been
using every effort To get the men TO
return to work today pending the
setting of the cohciliation board, but
from the returns of votes of the diff
ferent locals, these efforts appear to
have been signally unsuccessful ANA
themen appear TO have taken mat
ters Into their own hands and de
cided not to return until they have
received satisfactory answers to their
demands in the way of increase.
The coal company here had its
train at a siding at Fernie to take
the men to the mines to work as
usual, but the men did not go TO
work.

Salt Lake City, April 30.-Street
car service in Salt Lake will be re.
sumed this morning after suspension
since Sunday. After the electrical
workers had practically decided to go
out in sympathy with the car men,
as well as for the adjustment of
grievances of their own, at an early
hour this morning, the street car
company sent for former Congress-
man Brigham II. Roberts and gave
him plenary powers to come to any
settlement with the men that would
not involve formal recognition of the
union Mr.. Roberts Immediately met
National Secretary c. o. Pratt, who
told him the terms OF the men. TO
these Mr.. Roberts assented and the
strike was over,
The strike was started Sunday
morning after much fruitless nego-
tiation which ended in the positive
refusal of General Manager Bancroft
of the Utah Light and Railway COM
pany to recognize Secretary Pratt.
Both Sunday and Monday the COM
pany signally failed in its efforts to
run cars. Public sympathy seemed
with the men.

STAKE REMOVING CASE

d. W Ellis, of the real estate firm
OF Dlckerson & Ellis, who was ar
rested few days ago on complaint
of M Barieau, on a charge Of re-
moving location posts on a mining
claim was discharged by Justice
Cartwright yesterday and the COM
plant against him was dismissed
The ground on which the location
posts were placed is patented ground,
the deed from the government hav-
ing been obtained under the land
patent law many years ago
Barieau placed location stakes on
the ground which is il the Ellis ad
dition ana the owners Of the land
removed the stakes The testimony
introduced in the preliminary hear
ing brought out the fact mat Mr.
Ellis had very little 10 do with the
removal OF the stakes
Ia summing up the case III the
time the dismissal WIS announced.
Justice Cartwright scored the com
planning witness strongly and IN un-
mstakable language
The court in its decision said that
The ground was patented, rs shown
by the records The courts inter
prctalion Of the statute defining the
oHensc of removing location stakes
from mineral ground said that this
statute does not apply 10 patented
ground. but to the open government
ground, which is open to minerat en-
try.
II patented ground IS subject 10
location Of this character declared
the court with emphasis the more
fact that the government has given
Il deed to the ground can haze bIi
little weight. and the suspicion hat
mineral value may ha found would
iuYalidate the protection intended To
be afforded by the g8Fernmen; in
granting patents If this IS foaud to
be the case, and if patented ground
can thus be located al any time, ii.
Ties to land would be OF very little
permanency or value
The court said thai there is pro
cedure by which mining permits may
be obtained on patented ground but
refrained from entering into dis
cussion of this phase OF The law
it did not enter into the case Al the
bar No costs were taxed by ne
court
Other location stakes were placed
on the same ground yesterday after
the court had dismissed the com
plant against Mr. Ellis and il l.
stated thai those who placed the
stakes guarded them with weapons
in order to prevent any attempt :,
remove them Further development
are said to be pending, and MAJ

Netocs Boxing Bill.

Albany, N. Y. April 20 Governor
Hughes tonight sent to the senate his
veto of the so-called Frawley boxing
bill The bill passed both houses last
year, but Governor Higgins allowed
ii to die in the thirty day period
without comment.
The amendment proposed by the
Frawley bill provides that sparring
exhibitions of gloves of not less than
eight ounces might be held by the
Metropolitan association of the A. A.
Z.
In his veto message Governor
Hughes points out the section as it
now stands does not prohibit spar
ring exhibitions for the purpose of
pure sport. 1t prohibits such exhi-
billions when admission fee is
charged or received. This restriction
has been maintained in the public
interest as it does not interfere with
the sport itself, but has been found
he says, 'to furnish practicable
means for preventing the abuses that
creep in when such exhibitions are
given for the purpose of gain. The
wise policy of the state to prevent
excesses which are certain to result
If the sport is artificially stimulated
by permitting pay exhibitions, should
be adhered to. The act respecting
the original provision was approved
By Governor Roosevelt and the act
new proviso very similar
TO the one now proposed was vetoed
by Governor Higgins "
