WF the average well read man Were
asked to name a dozen persons
who have figured most persistent
ly in the public eye for the last
decade it is not likely that the name of
William Il. Stead would be omitted from
the list. 1t is far more probable that it
would occupy a place apart, as belong
ing to a personality so remarkable and
Wthal so elusive that it cannot be
comprehended easily.
Speaking generally. however, it Is the
personality of a man who is a free
lance in the best meaning of the eX-
preston. man who is gallopng
through life striving to combat and to
redress wrongs wherever and whenever
he may come face to face with them,
having no definite notion of what will
come next, but ready to attend to 1t
when it does make its appearance.
Probably this description would not
satisfy Mr.. Stead, but it is about the
popular idea of him.
Mr. Stead came TO America recently

ilege of being permitted TO keep their
places open. The police receive from
each pool room from $50 To 500 a week.
The amount TO be paid by each is fixed
There Is no variation from the price.
The sum depends upon the size of the

over to the pool room operators would
split into 81 year for every man, wo-
man and child in the great city, but
there are a great many children in New
York and a vast number of older per-
sons who do not gamble. The average
sum blown" by the bettors no doubt is
a very considerable part of the average
income. The man who ventures and
loses his money is not the chief sufferer
In very many instances his wife and
children play that role They take the
tragedy part in the play
Those Who Are Victims,
who plays the pool room game?
Young men of seventeen. old men Of
seventy and men of all intermediate

They are clerks, mechanics. labOrers
and small shopkeepers. 1t is declared
by the chief clerk of the New York dis
trict attorneys office that more young
men of respectable antecedents are sent
to the reformatories and the penitentj-
aries because of losses to the pool rooms
than from any other cause. When they
have lost their small earnings, they
pilfer from their employers and lose the
pilferings. No doubt they fully expect
to win and pay back what they steal.
but such expectations are seldom ful-
filed Even when a man does win with
pilfered money the temptation to play
, il again for bigger stakes is strong.
II cannot be said that the mere love
of gambling is responsible for all this
pool room betting. Some men gamble
because they have a mania for it, Others
do it because they foolishly hope to make
big winnings and put their families on

EMERY STARTS
AFTER BELL
Sheriff Left for Kansas City
Last Night on the Los
Angeles Limited.
CONFESSION is EXPECTED
THOUGHT THAT CROOK WILL
"PEACH" AGAINST SHEETS.

G. Frank Emery. sheriff of Salt Lake
county, left last evening for Kansas City
over the Los Angeles limited to bring
PACK W. h. Bell, implicated in the Nc
Wh1rter robbery, who was arrested there
yesterday. Sheriff Emery was armed
with requisition papers which were made
out yesterday and signed by Governor
cutter. 1t is thought that Bell will return
without lighting extredition.
Although Willard Hanson. county attor-
ney, will not divulge what he Is going to
do with Bell, 1t is known that he is i'm
mensely pleased with his capture. 1t Is
also known that an attempt will be made
TO have Bell make a complete confession
Of the deals leading up to the McWhirter
robbery and his alleged negotiations with
George A. Sheets, chief OF police.
That Hanson expects Bell to peach, :"
is undoubted. The county attorney
face was wreathed in smiles all day yes
terday and he and his whole office force
seemed exceptionally happy. Hanson is
well aware Of the fact that his evidence
against Sheets at the former hearing was
not satisfactory. as he had no one to cor
rOborate the evidence of W. H. Parent.
Now he has Bell, who it is thought, will
tell an Identical story with that told by
Parent and thus make sure of convictins
Sheets.
The Sheets case will be argued in the
supreme court next Monday, the state
having appealed from Judge Armstrong $
decision quashing the information 1t Is
understood that Hanson expects the su-
preme court to uphold Judge Armstrong
and in this event he will file new COM
plant Immediately and with Bell and Par
rent as witnesses make another attempt
to get Sheets

MORAN TO START MONDAY
Test Suit to Determine What New
Law Means VIII Be Started
When Paving Is Begun.

?. J. Moran will commence the work of
paving Brigham street from Thirteenth
East street to the reservation on Monday
morning next. He was awarded the con-
tract recently by the board of public
works. in order to determine exactly
what the new contract law means the
board has secured one of the citizens liv-
ing on Brigham street to enjOin Moran
from starting work on the ground that
the contract was not properly let. This
will bring the suit into the district court
Immediately and a decision will be
reached there and an appeal taken TO the
supreme court. so as to get the matter
on the May calendar.
Henderson, Pierce, CritchlOw and Bar
raft will appear for Mr.. Moran and de-
fend his right TO continue the work. The
council recently appropriated $40 for the
board of public works to defray the eX-
penses of the suit to be brought by the
taxpayer.
1t is understood that Ogden Hiles. city
attorney has changed mis- opinion in re-
gard to the new law considerably upon
more careful study. and is now inclined
to the opinion that II should be construed
in its broadcast sense. as has all along
been the contention of the board of pub
lie works.

Wife Says Husband Threatened
to Stick Knife Into
Her.
WISHED SHE WERE DEAD
COUPLE WERE MARRIED APRIL
II, 1876.

After being married for thirty-ons years
Ann NJ. Bowdidge has decided that she
can no longer live with her husband, John
3. Bowdidge. and yesterday asked the
district court for a divorce.
From the complaint II appears that most
of the trouble between the couple, who
we're united in marriage April IL. 1876,
in Salt Lake. has come during the past
few months. The first allegation made is
that on December 3 last her husband at
tackled her and used violent language in
her presence. He accused her Of I'M
faithfulness and said that he wished she
Was dead and out OF the way.
The last allegation states that on May
3 OF this year he attacked her again and
threatened to stick a knife into her heart.
The complaint also alleges that the de-
PENDANT is man OF vicious habits and Is
not entitled TO the custody OF the two
minor children, a boy of IL and a girl Of u.
The property of the defendant is esti-
mated TO be worth S13 7e9, which includes
the property upon which his store is To-
Gated and the stock. The wife asks that
some of this be given to her as alimony.
She says she is absolutely without means
and asks the court to grant her temper
airy alimony and attorneys fees, pending
the settlement of the suit.
Another divorce complaint filed yester-
day was that OF Hannah McDaniels
against Thomas W. Daniels. They were
married December o. 1900, and the COM
plant asserts that ever since 1903 the de-
PENDANT has been a habitual drunkard
and has caused his wife much distress
by his conduct. 1t is alleged that fire.
quently he has come home in a beastly
state of intoxication to the great humil-
iation of the wife. 1t is also alleged that
in every way since he commenced To drink
the husband has been offensive to his
family. The complaint asks for s25 a
month alimony and attorneys fees, to-
gether with the custody of a 5-year-old
boy.

MOVE TO COLLECT
LICENSE TAX
Secretary of State Will Notify
All Corporations at an
Early Date.
INCOME MAY BE 100000
ABOUT 5000 COMPANIES IN
STATE LIABLE.

Charles S. Tingey, secretary of state.
yesterday announced that he is making
preparations to collect the annual license
tax from corporations authorized by the
last legislature. 1t is confidently expect
ed that the additional revenue which will
be secured by virtue OF this measure will
reach 10000 annually.
Mr.. Tingey said yesterday that he
would ask all county clerks in the state
to send him a complete list of the COM
panies whose articles of Incorporation
were filed in their offices from 1851. when
l tan WAS admitted as a territory. until
1881. when the territorial legislature pro-
vided that complete record should be
also kept by the secretary. In his office
les, and with the additions which ne ex-
pecta to receive IL is thought this num-
Der will be increased TO 5000, although
only about 500 OF this number are alive
An index Will be prepared of all these
corporations and then notifications Will
be sent TO the officers to pay the taxes.
The tax is so small that ii Is not expect
ed that any concentrated effort will be
made to resist its payment or test its le-
lagility in the courts.
The law provides a graded tax Cor
porations with a capital stock less than
$1,000 must pay 50. with capital stock
over $4,000 and less than $500. $40: be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 the fee is sl5
between $4,000 and 5000 IL costs SO; be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 the charge is
SIS; between $4,000 and $4,000 the state
demands $50; between sl50,000 and $780,
90 the companies must pay $40. and all
companies with capital stock over S2o0,-
600 must pay so.
Mr.. Tingey will notify these companies
as soon as an index can be prepared. The
law goes into effect May 13 but the first
tax is not due until November 10

NOTED CASE ON TRIAL
Water Rights in Provo Lake Are
Being Contested by City and
Irrigation Companies.

The case of Salt Lake City and the
various Jordan canal companies against
the Timpanogas Irrigation company of
Heber was placed ON trial before Judge
Booth Of Provo in Judge Armstrong s
court room at the city and county build
ing yesterday morning. Judge Booth
came here to try the case as it was more
convenient for most of the parties in
volveG
The city is praying for an injunction
restraining the defendants from building
a reservoir near Heber City and storing
water there which would flow into Utah
lake. The contention is that the supply
in the lake will thus be lessened and con-
sequentiy the plaintiffs supply will be
diminished.
The evidence is all of a technical ma
ture and il will probably take several
weeks before the case is concluded. Og-
den Hiles, city attorney, is the leading
counsel for the plaintiffs
