-FOUR SCHOOL
BILLS PASSED
Measures Desired by Educators
Are Ratified by the
Senate.
ONE FOR UNIFORM COURSES
MAKES EACH COUNTY
A DISTRICT.

Several important and long desired
changes were made in the school laws
of the state yesterday when the senate
passed house bills Nos. 20, 80. 122 and
1856 by Mr.. Richards. The measures
we're recommended by the Teachers
association and also by leading edu-
Gators throughout the state, who will
be glad to know that they now need
only the governors signature 20 be-
come laws.
Probably the most important Of these
acts is house bill No. 90 which provides
for the preparation of state course OF
study At present the studies pursued
vary in each school. and this lack Of
uniformity has been complained of on
maHy occasions and has been detri-
mental 10 the development of salts
factory system of education. The bill
states that the state superintendent,
the principal of the state normal
school, the principal of the state nor
nal training school and two county SUI
perintendents 10 be named by the state
board of education shall meet and pre-
scribe 9 course of study for schools in
the state not included in counties Of
the first and second class This COM
mission also has the authority TO spe-
city the text books 10 be used, and
shall furnish at actual cost TO each
county the number of courses of study
ordered by the county superintendent
of schools.

County AS a District.

House bill No. 40 provides that
where an entire county is constituted
into one school district il shall be n
county school district of the first class.
Heretofore i'm order that a county
might be a district of this class it was
necessary that il should have 5000
children of school age. The present law
has worked against the best interests
of the schools In some of the smaller
counties. and hence the amendment.
House bill No. 1S5 relates to the is
suaRce of temporary teachers certifi-
Gates. The act specifies that the board
of education may issue to teachers Of
special branches certificates good for
not more than one YEAR, that any
county superintendent or board Of
trustees can employ a teacher tempo
rarily. provided that such teacher has
made application TO the state board for
grant to any graduate of normal
training school certificate valid for
two years
The other measure. house bill No. IL,
relates to the duties of county super
mtendents. 1t provides for his visiting
each school in the county at least twice
in each school year, while ON such vis-
its to carefully observe the condition
of the school, the mental and moral in
struction given. He shall advise and
direct the teachers in regard 10 their
work. and shall keep a record Of such
visits, which he shall file with the state
beard of education, TO be used for or
against teachers at the time of their
examination for certificates.

RIPPER BILL IS
DOOMED INSENATE
Action of House on Galveston
Measure Anglers Many
Senators.

The fire and police commission bill
is doomed to defeat in the senate. part
ly as a result of the tactics pursued in
the house in regard to the Galveston
bills.
The commission bill is a ripper meas
ure designed to take the control of the
local fire and police department out of
the hands of the municipal govern
ment. When the bill came to the SEN
ate it was referred to the committee on
county and municipal corporation, of
which Mr. Benner X. Smith is chair
man. Now Mr.. Smith is the author of
the Galveston bills and as they We're
defeated by the machine il does not
seem likely that he will make. any pro-
nounced effort to pass the commission
bill.
Besides il is the opinion of all the
LAWYERS in the senate that the bill is
unconstitutional. as it takes away from
Salt Lake the powersof local self-gov-
eminent by putting the appointment of
the fire and police commission in the
hands of the governor. Some years
ago the legislature passed n law Great
ing a state horticultural society and
providing that the society could name
deputies in each county of the state,
who were to be paid by the county
commissioners. This vas held lincoln
stitutional and for the same reason it
is argued that the commission measure
is not good. as the governor would APP
point it's members and the city would
be compelled to pay them
Complaints Are Numerous.
The complaints in the city against
the methods of conducting business in
the house are numerous Speaker Jo-
seph seems to be the butt of al the
jokes. For instance, yesterday enc SEN
ator told how Mr.. Joseph had enter
tanned a motion for the previous ques-
ton, then asked for a second and after
it had been received announced that
the mover was out of order.
But there are more serious COM
plants. Il is charged that important
legislation is being blocked by the
house and that the Sitting committee
recently appointed. consisting of ReD-
resentatives Robinson, Kuchler sud
Holt, are not likely to deal gently with
some of the senate bills which have
been reposing i'm the pigeon holes Ct the
house committees for several weeks.
The house journal is also in wretched
condition. and So many errors have
erept into il during the session Il. at
unless 1t is revised by competent men
many of the laws passed would not
stand the test of the courts Every
day the senate discovers errors and has
grown tired of calling attention ID
them Yesterday there were several.
In speaking of this matter yesterday
Senator Holiingsworfh said:
1T viii cost the state hundreds ef
dollars to put that house journal into
shape and unless it is done by men who
know their business there will he no
end of trouble"

SENATE PASSES
JUVENILE Law
Senator Miller the Only One to
Vote in 0pposi-
ton.
POLITICS IS ELIMINATED
JUDGES ARE TO BE APPOINTED
BY THE GOVERNOR.

The new juvenile court law passed
the senate yesterday afternoon by a
vote of Is to 1. Senator Miller casting
the only negative vote.
As has already been detailed the bill
meets the objections to the present law
raised by the supreme court and puts
the court on the same basis as the dis
triet court. The debate on the bin was
short but interesting.
Senator Miller raised the only objecr
ton by saying that he objected TO Civ
ing the governor the power to appoint
the judges. 1T is taking away inc
rights of the people and is imposing IN
then,'' said the Washington county
statesman.
Il am as a general rule believer in
the election of officers by the people,
responded Benner y. Smith, author OF
the BILL "but this is Il state office AID
1t is quite essential that these Judges
be appointed by the governor with the
advice of the state superintendent OF
schools. This is much the more salts

Situation Is Bad.
In defining his position Senator Hu-
laniski, of ogden. said that the present.
situation is mtolerable. Under the SUI
preme court decision he said. THE
only thing that we can do with dciiE-
quent children is to send them To TIE
state industrial school"
do you believe that better Judges
can be elected than appointed asked
Mr.. Smith.
I should say not" responded the
Ogden man.
Senator Bullen asked if il would not
be necessary to issue a process to
bring delinquents before the court, but
was appeased when Mr.. Smith said
that il was not a criminal proceedings
but only a matter of guardianship as
defined In the supreme court decision.
When the vote was taken Mr.. Bullen
had disappeared and Senator Lawrence
asked that the announcement he post
poned until the sergeant-at-drms could
look him up. Bulien. however, for
some reason did not seem anxious to
vote on the measure and could not be
located.

visions include a clause 10 provide

and this partiality has been made the
most of by the shrewd little brown
man" He has imposed on the situation
immensely since the termination of the
Russo.Japanese war, and has, for all
we know, gathered some invaluable
secret statistic and passed them up to
his government at home and been duly
rewarded for his work, But the day
has gone by for his easy access to the
forbidden phases OF our departmental
work. and what he accomplishes in the
future will be wrought with all the peril
attendant upon the suspected espionage
he must pursue ii his government de-
mands the information.
1t is said that some of the aristocracy
Oh Japan, notably among that nations
naval attaches. have been discovered in
very delicate and inexpicable situations
in this connection and have been ordered
out Of this country in disgrace, but the
circumstances have not been made public
because of the operation of diplomatic
codes and agreements, also classed
among the national secrets.
The japanese is intensely loyal to the
Mikado and will go through every con.
cievable peril to attain what his mon
arch desires to know. all Of which is
commendable enough, from the stand
point Of fidelity to ones country, but
entirely unacceptable to the country
under exploitation. The trouble with
the Jap is that he is pluekier than he
is acute, and his nerve too often out
runs his sagacity. He has been discov.
cred and defeated in this signal employ

deduction is substantiated. Every in.
telligent, well-dressed native OF Japan
now in the United States is, tacitly,
under popular suspicion as spy and
is watched accordingly, by those whose
path he crosses with any regularity.
Every nation maintains secret serv-
ice corps, ami it is an admitted feature
OF governmental work. but none of them
do the raw stunts the japanese have
done, nor in the clumsy fashion they
seem to be partial to-.

MOTHER FINDS SON.
Identifies Him on Slab in Pittsburg
Morgue.

PITTSBURG, August 1.-two weeks
ago John V. Miles, aged 81, OF Believer
non lost his job in a glass works there
and came to Pittsburg to obtain work.
Yesterday the young mans mother,
Mrs. Mary Miles, 20 years old, came to
Pittsburg from Bellevernon on a brief
shopping trip.
Its strange, l haven't heard from my
boy since he came here" remarked the
cid lady; 4 thought OF looking him up"
A friend took her to see Pittsburgs
sights and they visited the morgue. "You
look like my boy" she said to deputy
standing near, and she told the story
of the son from whom she had not heard
for fortnight.
Gently the mother was led into the
chapel There among the unidentified
dead she found her son. She was pros
trated. "It can't BET" she said.
Two weeks ago the glass plant at Bel
levernon shut down. The following day
Miles left home, saying he was going to
look for work, and adding he would not
return until Monday. Wednesday night
Miles, accompanied by man supposed
from the papers on his person to be
Charles Palmer, were run down and
killed by Pittsburg, Virginia & Char
lesion railroad train near Green Springs
The bodies of both men were taken
to the morgue to await Identification. No
one could identify Palmer's companion
and the body was being prepared for
burial when Mrs. Miles arrived yester-
day. Mrs. Miles said her husband had
been i'll for about year and unable
to work and their son was their only
support
Since his fathers illness Mrs. Miles
said her son had postponed his marriage,
declaring he would never marry so long
as they were dependent on him for sup
port, although he had been engaged to
a young woman for more than a year.
The body of the young man was sent to
his home by the railroad company.

JAPANESE SECRET SERVICE.

The frequent detection of japanese
spies within the territorial jurisdiction
OF the United States has become so com
mon as to confirm the conviction in the
public mind that the secret service of
that country is vast and comprehensive
and peculiarly directed toward the in
stltutions Of America and the elemental
nature of their conduct and mainten-
ance, especially the army and navy and
the war establishment generally. In
deed, the matter has gone so far that
the government has done away with the
employment of all japanese servitors
and has placed an iron-clad prohibition
againt their invasion of any sort. ship
navy-yard or other organic plants Of
the public service.
The Japanese have, for years too long
to be accounted for, enjoyed the conf.
