The banks of Salt Lake City have al
ways been noted for their solidity. They
have always weathered the financial
storms and have acquired the reputation
all over the country for their strength and
able management. This reputation has re-
suited in making Salt Lake City one of
the large financial centers of the country
The bank clearances, as published each
week show that Salt Lake City is well to
the front and is far ahead of many cities
having g much larger population. In other
words its banks have a larger proportion
of patronage than those of other cities
The strength of its banks has been an
important factor in making Salt Lake
CITY the financial center of all the inter
mountain region. Depositors from small
er towns in this region find it convenient
and practicable to send their deposits by
mail to Salt Lake City and thus keep the
protection of its strong banks. This has

CONFER RE EGARO|NC
LAND FRAUDS

WASHINGTON, Jan. John F.
Lacey, chairman of the public lands
committee of the House, had a con-
ference with Secretary Hitchcock of the
Interior Department relative to pro-
spective legislation covering the public
domain. Secretary Hitchcock will ap-
pear before the committee, Wednesday
of next week, when hearings will be
resumed.
Mr.. Lacey asaid that he could not
anticipate what legislation will be en-
acted, IL any, to correct the frauds
complained of under the land laws
Violations of the coal land laws were
the more common. A report prepared
by the General Land Office for Mr.
Lacey shows that from July l. 1873,
to September 80, 1906, inclusive, thirty
three years, there were 2S7S coal en-
tries made, representing 406,370 acres,
netting the Government s6,169,S54; that
last year there were but $4,000 acres
OF coal land taken from the $4,000 900
acres in the United States.
1t is Mr.. Lacey's opinion that the
law in itself is not responsible for the
alleged frauds, but it is the connivance
of people to obtain title in violation
of the law.

the calls for their services.
Another relief train, from Topeka,
and two wrecking trains soon arrived
and all of the dead and injured that
had been taken from the wreck were
brought to this city, where the injured
were placed in hospitals. Two injured
Mexicans died on the way to Topeka,

OPERATORS FAULT
KILLS TWO MEN
Engines Crash Into Freight
Train as Result of the
Carelessness of Employe
SAYS HE WAS TIRED

LIVINGSTON, Mont, Jan. "A train
wreck occurred at 2:30 o'clock this
morning at Coal Spur, a station on the
Northern Pacific ten miles west of this
city, in which two railway men or
Livingston lost their lives, James Ca
russo, locomotive engineer, and ]. A.
Storrs, freight conductor.
The men were riding in the caboose
of an extra freight train travelling
eastward. Just as the extra had Sc
cured orders to enter the block sys-
tenn east of Coal Spur and was pulling
out, the train was struck by two light
engines.
From the evidence given at the
Coroners inquest this afternoon it
seems that the wreck was due entirely
to the negligence of Telegraph Opera
tor ]. S. Brady at Hoppers, who per-
mitted the light engines to enter the
block system east of his station before
he got a clear block from the operator
at Coal Spur.
Brady admitted that he was at fault
in letting the light engines enter the
block before receiving a clearance. He
stated that his rest was badly disturb ed
and that he was unable to get more
than two hours sleep continuously

that Grand Juror Morris Levingston
had expressed himself strongly against
Ruef aad Schmitz. Graham said Lev
in gston had told him that Ruef and
Schmitz should be in San Quentin: ::
Cans stated that Levingston had told
him that Ruef and SchmitZ were
thieves and grafters. and Dunn as
serted that last November Levingston
had said to him, What ware we go-
ing to do with those two Ngrafters,
Ruef and Schmitz? I'm ashamed to
tell you"
On cross-examination, Hiram john
son brought out the fact that the wit
nesses had all visited Ruef within the
last week. Their testimony was strik-
ingly like that offered by Joseph
BRAKEMAN, a tailor. BRAKEMAN had
conducted each of the witnesses to
Ruefs sanctum.
Great stress was placed by the de-
tense on the remarks alleged to have
been made by Levingston. Henry

also been secured, together with cards
sent out by the second wife announc-
ing her marriage in San Francisco with
Mattingly and letters passing between
the two Mrs. Mattinglys. The marriage
license OF Mattingly and his second
wife will also be used as an exhibit
before the jury. Mattingly thought this
was destroyed in the April fire. but his
second wife had taken the precaution
to carry it with her to Vicksburg when
she went on a visit to her relatives
shortly after her marriage.
Since her separation from Mattingly
the second wife has been supporting
herself in San Francisco as a stenog-
rapher She was not inclined to dis
cuss the proceedings before the Grand
Jury when seen yesterday and sobbed
when they were referred TO.
Friends of mine prevailed on me
to bring these proceedings" she said.
Il don't care to say much against
Mattingiy. / am very sorry for his
other wife, whom he is now trying to
desert, despite her devotion. I could
never understand what led him to
deceive me as he did. He was then
living with his wife, and presumably
happy, yet he imposed on me and
brought about all this scandal and
unhappiness. There was no excuse
for this deception. can't see how
he can condone tit was all so cruel
and unnecessary"
Nowlin g. Fassett are attorneys for
Mrs. Goffe- e-Mattingly. When seen they
tried to evade discussing the matter
or even admitting that the proceedings
against Mattingly had been begun
by District Attorney Langdon. When
told that the facts of the case had
become public, however, they admit
ted that the proceedings were under
way, but said that the secrecy de-
nanded by the Grand Jury sealed their
lips and made discussion Of the mat
ter impossible.
