Il has been put up to the legislature
to determine if the state Of Utah shall
intervene in the suit recently brought
BY the government to prevent the con-
summation Of q sale by the state Of al
legged coal lands to \. A. Sweet. The
lands are within the grant of school
lands to the state. and the govern
ments contention is that they are
known coal lands and hence the state
must select others in lieu thereof.
Governor Cutler, in a special mes
sage, called the attention of the legis-
lature 10 the matter and the house and
senate passed a joint resolution Great
ing a committee to investigate the coal
land question and the states interest
therein.
At the first meeting Of this commit
tee. held yesterday morning. the states
aid was asked in defending the suit
against Sweet, on the presumption that
decision against Sweet would Sc
riously affect the states land interests
and perhaps involve the repayment Sy
the state of vast sums that have Seac
paid into the state treasury for lands
sold under similar conditions.
1t was also pointed out that &c

a valuable precedent for the state thai

rated Without Scandal.

London. Feb IAN authoritative state
ment embodying what the family desires
to say on the case of the Duke and Ouch
ess of Marlborough was given out to-
night. 1t follows
THE differences between the Duke and
the Duchess of Marlborough have been
settled privately. The children will arrive
at Sunderland house today and the coun-
tess and her children will proceed to the
continent early some time next week.
Statement Not Specific.
This statement is somewhat ambiguous
owing TO the possible Interpretation that
the duke and duchess have settled their
differences and resumed the relations OF
husband and wife. but the family ex-
presses desire TO let IL stand as il is. In
we'll informed quarters the statement is
interpreted as meaning that the duke and
duchess have arranged privately a settle
ment of terms under which each will have
the care Of the children for a portion of
the year. In other words. the children
will now pass six months of the year
with each parent IT is understood the
duchess will continue 10 make Sunder-
land house her London home while the
duke will have town headquarters at a
west end hotel as he has done since

Avoided the Courts.
King Edward has been made acquainted
through the duke himself. who had an au-
dience with the king at Buckingham pal
ace today. There is great relief in royal
and social circles that the Marlbor-
oughs' affairs viii not get into the courts.
The duchess has not been very well
lately and as she thinks well of the cure
at Montlore. France. she will. after a
short sojourn in Paris, proceed to the
/ Rivera with her sons The duchess will
have an audience with Queen Alexandra
/ while in Paris next week and this is one
of the reasons given for her decision to
go abroad now.

Yesterday afternoon refused to allow City
Provision Inspector Frazier TO carry from

west Temple street samples OF turkeys,

may deem necessary and proceed by

fitness for consumption.
Inspector Frazier said last night that
he would decide early this morning as to
