In the reported promotion of Col
Charles Morton of the 9TH United
States Cavalry to the grade of bri-
gader general on account of the re-
tirement Of Major General James T.
Wade, there seems to have been q
case of mistaken identity many peo-
pie in this vicinity thinking that the
officer advanced in grade was Major
Charles G. Morton of the 9Th United
States Infantry, who was at the time
of the Spanish War assigned to duty
with the 1st Maine Regiment with the
rank Of lieutenant colonel. According
to the last number of the Army Regis
ter, however, in the department show
ing the relative rank of army officers
the question seems to be settled that
the officer advanced in grade is Col
c. Morton Of the 7th Cavalry. The
record shows that he was appointed
colonel Of that regiment Feb. 25, 1908
being the 18th in line Of advancement
in the rank of colonel. In the list OF
infantry officers there occurs no &C,
G. Morton" in the rank Of colonel in
the 7th Infantry, but in the list Of
ajors the name is found, who Is
without doubt the officer associated
with the 1st Maine in 1898. The rec
ord shows that he was appointed
major May %. 1902, and Is Ssth in the
line of advancement in that rank. He
has been for some time connected with
the inspector generals department in
the Philippines and has recently been
ordered back to San Francisco. His
promotion viii doubtless come in due
time.

The committee appointed to investi-
gate the offer of a bride alleged to
have been made 10 Alderman A. ID. Cyr
of Ward 4 reported as follows:
The special committee appointed to
investigate the charge of attempted
bribery by Alderman Cyr begs leave to
report as follows:
The committee took the statement
of Alderman Cyr who said in sub
stance as follows:
On the Saturday evening before the
meeting of the city council for election
of city officers, at the French Natural
iZatiOn Club, Arthur Miron sounded him
as to his opinion on the matter of the
rival candidates for city marshal and
that he in reply told Mr.. Miron that
he thought that if Mr.. Fletcher was n
candidate Mr.. Donovan would not
stand much chance of being elected.
Shortly after 9 o'clock the following
Monday morning Mr.. Mron came 10
Mr.. Cyr's place of business, and find
ing Mr.. Cyr engaged in conversation
with three or four other gentlemen in
the front shop requested private
conversation with Mr.. Cyr, in ConSe-
quence of which Mr.. Cyr retired with
Mr.. Miron to the back shop, where
after some hesitation and with appar-
ent embarrassment, Mr.. MrOn said
that he had been sent by the other
party who lacked only two votes to
elect their candidate for city marshal
and street commissioner, and urged
him to assist by giving his vote for
~ We thncp
two offices. adding by way OF induce
ment that there was $50 in it. Mr..
Cyr did not understand whether Mr..
Miron intended to offer this sum for
his vote alone or for the two votes
necessary to elect the candidates in
question. In reply, Mr.. Cyr, in very
vigorous terms, expressed his indig-
nation at the suggestion of his betray-
ing the confidence of the people of his
ward who had chosen him for the
third time to represent them in the
city council. Mr.. Miron replied that
such things had been done.
At that point the conversation was
interrupted by the entrance Of third
party, and Mr.. Miron left the shop.
Mr.. Cyr soon followed and found Mr..
Miron in conversation WITH oouiicii-
man Taylor in front of Percivars store.
Leaving Mr.. Miron there Mr.. Taylor
accompanied Mr.. Cyr as far as Cough
Inns drug store on the way to the City
building to attend the meeting of the
city council. and on the way Mr.. Tay-
lor made some talk about the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Fletcher for the Office OF
city marshal

All communication will be mailed
today The letter addressed to the
mayor relative to the matter of ped
dlers is as follows:
ITO the Honorable Mayor and the
Council of Salt Lake City:
In view of the far-reaching and
apparently deep-seated conviction of
the people of Salt Lake that the high
cost of food stuff, hay. grain, build
ing materials. coal and other COM
modities at present prevailing here is
the result of commercial combina-
tons which are conducted to prevent
honest competition, this association
has the honor appeal to you for
such relief against these unfavorah!e
conditions as it may be in your power
to afford.
Your attention is called to the cir
cumstance that the vendors of food
products from wagons, once so COM
mon on our streets, by whom the nee
essaries of life We're brought to our
doors and sold at reasonable prices,
AVE entirely disappeared. We ask
YOU how much this disappearance
may be chargeable to Instructions
placed in the way of successful con-
duet of their business by the ordin-
ances of Salt Lake, and appeal to you
in the name of large constituency
that steps be taken to repeal what
ever city ordinances there may be
which are calculated to deprive our
people of the advantages of purchas-
ing from vendors throughout the city.
It Is frequently asserted, and by
many believed, that whatever laws
there are in restraint of vendors of
this character have been brought
about by the influence of combina-
tons which desire to prevent the peo-
Dle from having the benefit of com
petition. and compelling them to buy
foodstuffs at prices regulated and
maintained by unlawful methods. In
the opinion of this association, the
situation now justifies the city gov
ernment in facilitating by law every
means to the end of cheaper living
in Salt Lake. and you are asked, in
your wisdom, to take your place on
the side of the people in this import
ant matter.
with entire confidence that what
ever you shall do in the premises will
be reflective of the highest citizenship
and public duty. We are,
Very respectfully yours,
