LAW FAILS TO HOLD WATER
Southern Railroad Ticket Agents
Escape Workhouse by Aid of
Federal Judge.

Asheville, N. c., July 22.-Federal
Judge Pritchard today discharged
Ticket Agents Wood and Wilson of the
Southern railroad on habeas corpus
proceedings, and declared the penalty
clause of the new rate bill unconstl-
tutional
Wood and Wilson were recently SEN
fenced to thirty days upon the chain
gang for violation Of the law.
In his decision Judge Pritchard said
the penalties inflicted by the statute
would close the doors to a judicial
hearing and would amount to $780,
600 a day if the penalty was enforced
upon the sale of each ticket, which is
eight times more than the amount in
vOived in the original suit.
Also that it would do violence to
the comfy which exists between the
state and federal courts. While not
imputing improper motives to officials
of state courts, Judge PTitchard re-
marked that if such n course was per-
mitted to be pursued it would have
the effect of defeating the jurisdiction
Of the United States courts.

in the county Jail here on a charge of

tors are affected by the heat as well
as audiences It was hot in the Orpheum
last evening, the actors were lacking in
snap and the audience was lacking in
enthusiasm. The audience was small and
of course that had its effect on the MEM
bers of the company. Nor is Turned
PUP as good play as the company has
been presenting lately. It is rather broad
in its humor- 1t verges on the farce COM
edy with a black woman and her off
spring injected into a heightened Eng
lish family. At the same time there is
fun and lots of it in Turned Up" There
is clever dialogue and ridiculous situa-
tons are abundant Mr.. O'MeaTa, Miss
Moore and Mr.. Phillips carried off the
honors Of the evening. No doubt with
with much better effect.
Turned Up" was preceded by Jerome
K. Jerome's one-act play Barbara" In
this Miss Hendrie did a neat piece OF
work, the best thing she has done since
coming to Salt Lake. The play is pref
ty one and Miss Hendrie in the title role

M0T0RMAN'S WILD RACE
WITH RAGING TORRENT

Butte, Mont, July 22.-Joseph H.
McDermott, a mOtOrman. raced with
the cloudburst in Elk park canyon last
night and saved sixty lives. Pursued
by q wall of water fifteen feet high,
McDermott put on full speed down
grade and, clinging to the track by
a miracle, reached high land just as
the flood, tearing up the rails and
sweeping all before it, obliterated the
road behind him.
The flood left six feet of mud in
the Great Northern tunnel and service
on that railway is still suspended. The
damage to property at the foot of the
canyon is heavy, but no lives were LOST

MORE TROUBLE BREWING.

New York. July pa letter has
been received at the headquarters of
the board of foreign missions of the
Presbyterian church from one of the
medical missionaries of the board now
in China, describing the conditions
around Canton. According to DIR. J.
NJ. Swan, the writer of the letter, only
a leader is necessary for widespread
rebellion in that part of China. He
says that certainly before twelve
months have passed a decided change
in the government may be expected,
and that whether this is accomplished
by force of arms or not is yet to be de-

boring of a well. With all the modern
machinery for such a venture the COM
pany started work in the latter part
of last March about two miles north
east of the town of Virgen, on the
North river. At a depth of about $50
feet oil was struck on their property.
1t was found to be of parrafine basis.
Twenty-Five feet more was sunk and
work had to be suspended on account
of the flow, which was from seventy
five to 100 barrels per day, the pressure
being too great to permit the machin-
cry to continue work. The formation
was found to be the same as on the
original Lone Star group. Other wells
were soon started

EMPRESS LOSES NERVE.

Berlin, July 22.-The empress of
Germany, who is noted for her pluck
on horseback, apparently is not so
courageous while in an automobile.
She intended to visit Konigsberg Sat-
urday in her touring car, and was
within three miles of her destination
when loud and repeated explosions in
the motor led her to believe that her
life was in danger. Assurances by her
chauffeur that there was not the last
danger were of no avail and, no other
vehicle being available, the empress
proceeded in a wagon to a railway
station near by.

The country around Virgen City is
an excellent place for the drilling of
wells, the dip is northeast and about
seventy-five feet to the mile. No
eruptions or breaks of any kind are
visible on the surface. Sixty feet per
day may be made with an ordinary
drilling rig.
The formation is sandstone, lime and
chalk The pressure is greatest in the
strata of porous lime commonly known
as bughole lime On the Virgen river
plenty OF water is to be had to gener-

This confession gives a general outline
of what Bells testimony will be in the
case. The details of the transaction will
doubtless be gone into more infinitely than
in the rough draft secured by the prose-
cution. As it is the evidence of an ac-
complete, it must be corroborated in all
important points by competent witnesses
before it is binding. Parents testimony,
of course, cOrrObOr3teS II, but he, too,
is an accomptce. The prosecution is now

which to substantiate the story of Par

''Dr. Jim" Donaldson, recently convicted

To Plead this Morning.
In Judge Bishops court at 10 this morn

probable that change of venue will be

any event the preliminary hearing, if
there is one, will not be held for at least
two weeks Judge Thurman leaves to-
day for Idaho and the hearing will be
postponed until his return. The defense
may however, waive \ preliminary hear

BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Col. Biddle's View of Conditions in
San Francisco.

According to a letter received by Com
missioner Morrow this morning from Col.
John Biddle, formerly Engineer Commits
sioner of the District, and now stationed at
San Francisco, Cal, the chaotic condition
of that Inflated city is worse than the
residents of the east imagine. He says
the city is without any real executive head
and is being run like a rudderless ship on
a stormy
Col. Biddle says the residents of Wash
ington should coonsider themselves lucky
that they do not live In San Francisco, II
for no other reason that they are as
sured of clean streets ana sanitary sur
roundngs He says the streets out there
are unswept. and few of them are in fit
condition for traffic; the street cars are
seldom running and are at the mercy OF
the strikers, and building operations are
retarded, due to strikes and the excessive
prices.
