DEMURRER is OVERRUlED
fJudge Marshall Holds Utah Fuel
Company Must Stand Trial
on Criminal Charge.

United States District Judge John A.
Marshall yesterday overruled the demur-
! rer of the Utah Fuel company to the in
dictment brought against ii by the fed
eral~ grand jury charging criminal fraud
IN the acquisition of coal lands i'm south
ern Utah. Judge Marshall did not hand
down written opinion relative to the
decision, but merely made the order re-
quiring that these cases be tried in court.
In oVerruing the demurrer in the ac-
tnon Marshall decides that the action was
not civil one, as the defense contended,
but criminal case. and properly belong
ed in the criminal court The contention
of he fuel company was that the land
hat been secured from the state in the
proper manner and that it had been given
TO the state IN grant by the government
and if there was a contention on this
point 1t was a matter for the civil court
TO determine. The government contention
is that the land was mineral land, which
had been reserved by the government
when the land was granted to the state
An interesting point in connection with
the decision is that il is opposed to the
decision OF United States District Judge
Davis of Colorado who handed down a
decision ten days ago that sustained the
demurrers that were made on the same
grounds in similar coal land fraud cases
in Colorado.

AWAITS CHEMISTS REPORT
County Attorney Defers Preferrine
Charge Against Vance.

As there has been some delay in filing
a complaint against Thomas VancA the
blacksmith who is alleged to have mur-
dered his wife in a quarrel over cup
OF coffee, Judge w. L. Magiunis of Og-
den had a conference with County Attor-
ney Hanson. Mr.. Hanson informed the
lawyer that he is waiting for the report
Of City Chemist Harms on the chemical
analysis of the contents of the dead Wo-
mans stomach. Until this report is re-
ceived. the county attorney is unwilling
30 draw up the complaint against Vance.
This explanation seemed satisfactory to
Judge Maginnis.
Mr.. Hanson stated yesterday that
whatever the city chemists report may
be. Vance will be charged with murder
1t is expected that Chemist Harms re-
port will show the presence in Mrs
Nance's stomach at the time of death of
mercurial poisoning.
Poison Of that description was found in
Nance's trunk after his arrest. Before
her death, Mrs. Vance expressed cOnVic-
ton that she had been poisoned by her
husband after he had beaten her

TENDS TO KEEP
MONEY At HOME
New York Wholesalers and
Commission Men BaIk at
Out Town Checks.
HELPS COUNTRY BANKS
LARGE RESERVE IN GOTHAM
UNNECESSARY.

New York. Dec. .23-The Journal of
Commerce this morning says:
Commission houses and other wholesale
distributors Of New York are becoming
FESTIVE under what they consider distinct
absence of appreciation by their interior
customers. During the recent panic, when
II was impossible for these customers to
purchase New York exchange. the whole
sale trade here showed every possible con-
slderation, going as far as TO accept
checks on their customers local banks,
b in settlement OF accounts and then hold
ing such checks until collections were
possible.
1T appears that their syNem having
once found a footing has gTdNn much in
favor among the interior dealers and out
of town checks are, il is understood, form
Ing a much greater proportion of the re-
mittance to New York than has been the
case for years.
No More Interior Checks.
''The contracts made by New York mer-
chants usually specifically call for pay
ment in New York exchange and there Is
a distinct disposition on the part of larger
class OF merchants to compel full rec
ognition of this requirement Any waiv-
ing of this provision possesses a distinct
interest for New York banks I'm that the
country institutions have less incentive to
keep funds on deposit here so long as
their customers are not buying New York
exchange and this, iii turn, encourages
, boarding of unnecessary balances
throughout the south and west by banks
there located. New York banks are of the
opinion that a concerted action by New
York merchants to demand New York eX-
change viii do more to compel the out OF
town banks TO Immediately discontinue
their boarding tactics than anything else.
The interior banks, il is known, are
averse TO acting upon the suggestions or
even the pressure that might be brought
by New York banks. Several large houses,
the paper continues. Will hereafter refuse
10 credit out of town checks until they
have been Collected

WILL STAMP OUT
WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC
Secretary StrauS Starts
New Crusade.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October IA
(SpeciaD Secretary Straus of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
has started new crusade against the
white slave traffic, which he hopes
will greatly reduce it if it does not
kill it out altogether. The Secretary
is tremendously in earnest on the
subject, and will go to the utmost
possible lengths to destroy the traf-
fic.
The death penalty is not too much
for the black hearts engaged in this
nefarious business" he said this
afternoon. Certainly life imprison-
ment would not be more than ade-
quate punishment.
In beginning the renewed fight the
Secretary has revived an old policy
of the immigration service. The law
provides that women brought to this
country under such auspices may be
deported within three years. Here
tofore it has been the custom to &C
cept their assertion that they have
been in the country that time as
final Hereafter, however, the de-
partment will put the burden OF
proof on them. 1t will assume that
any disorderly alien women is liable
to deportation, and compel her to
prove that she is not.
All the efforts of the department
agents have not succeeded thus far
is running down the persons engaged
in importing these women, but the
Secretary is hopeful that under the
new scheme evidence may be obtain
ed which will lead to the conviction
of some of the real offenders.

MAY GUST HARTMAN
FROM |. 6. CONTROL
Fish Will Have Good Hand
in TOmOrrOw'S Meeting.

NEW YORK, October 14.-(Spec-
iaD-Wall street is awaiting with
bated breath the result of the Fish
Hartman contest for supremacy in
the affairs Of the Illinois Central,
which will be decided at the meeting
of the stockholders of the road in
Chicago Wednesday.
Never before has such a deter
mined vitriolic controversy at one
time descending to the stage of per-
sonal encounters, been carried on by
the railroad magnates of the coun-
try. The battle will admittedly be
the greatest in the campaign which
the many enemies of E. H. Hartman
are waging to depose him from the
dictatorship of railroads covering one
third of the area of the United States.
Uncertainty as to the outcome of the
battle reigns in the camps of both
opposing financial armies.
Upon the votes of hundreds of
small stockholders, it is admitted, may
depend the issues of the warfare. In
the contest of Stuyvestant Fish
against Car Hartman the former is
apparently the favorite of these
small investors. About 20 per cent.
of the Illinois Central stock is held
in Europe, the greater part of it in
Holland, and it is known that proxies
for at least 10000 shares of stock
have been sent to Fish by the Hol-
landers. These shares, adherents of
Fish believe, will swing the election
in his favor Holders of stock in
New England and the South have also
announced their allegiance to Stuy-
vestant Fish
If the present fight should go
against him, as it appears likely to
do, it would probably mark the be-
ginning of the end of Harrimans ca
reer as a railroad king and leader
in finance. Until Hartman lost con-
troll of the Chicago and Alton rail-
road short time ago, he had lost
only two battles in his financial ca
reer.

4 SENSE OF HUM0R.
Il 10 q Precious Gift and Helps TO
liahten Life's Way.

I regard a sense OF humOr as one or
the most precious gifts that can be
youchsafed to a human being. He Is
not necessarily better man for hav-
ing II. but he Is happier one. 1t
renders him Indifferent 10 good or bad
fortune. 1t enables him TO enjoy his
own discontinue.
Blessed with this sense he Is never
unduly elated or cast down. No one
can ruffie his temper. No abuse dis
turbs his equanimity.- Bores do not
bore him. Humbugs do not humbug
him. Solemn airs do not Impose on
him. Sentimental gush does not infiu-
ence him. The follies OF the moment
have no hold on him. Titles and dec
orations are but childish baubles in
his eyes. Prejudice does not warp
his Judgment He Is never In conceit
or out OF concelt with himself. He
abhors all dogmatism. The world Is a
stage on which actors strut and fret
for his edification and amusement, and
he pursues the even current OF his
way, invulnerable, doing what Is right
and proper according TO his lights, but
utterly Indifferent whether what he
does finds approval or disapproval
from others.
