How d. H. Christensen Was De-
posed as President of Ju-
yeniIe Court Commission.
MEETING WAS CALLED
WITHOUT NOTIFICATION
AttOrney-General Breeden Re-
sentS Browns Action, and
May Refuse to Serve.

Judge Willis Brown is about to leave
Salt Lake, but before taking his
final departure from Zion he en-
deavored to get in n sly bit of revenge.
Brown was secretary. treasurer Of the
Juvenile Court association of Utah,
and d, II. Christensen, City Superin-
tcndent of Schols, was president. Mr.,
was any deep. dark plot brewing,
picked up his Sunday Tribune and
noticed to his surprise that a meeting
of the association had been held Satur-
day, and that owing to the fact that
he had declined to act as president,
Gen. NJ, A. Breeden had been elected
to that position.
Now Brown has recently been de
posed from the position of Judge of
the Juvenile court of Salt Lake, the
commissioners agreeing with the Su-
preme Court that he was not fit and
proper person to occupy the position.
Mr., Christensen is n member of the
Juvenile Court commission which de-
f'o'' ''AV"H, anu tu' IaL''' mas hi
parently blamed the Superintendent
for his discharge. In order to even up
matters he has got the Superintendent
out of the position of president.
The call for the meeting Saturday
was signed by the vice president, II.
II. Thomas of the State industrial
school at Ogden, and Willis Brown,
secretary treasurer. Mr., Christensen
says that he never knew of any meet
ing, and that as yet he has no Off
cial knowledge of the meeting. Why
Brown should go out of his way to
have Mr.. Thomas sign the call for
a meeting when Mr. Christensen, the
actual president, was in the building
every day is what is hard to under.
stand.
At the meeting Brown made the
statement that Mr Christensen had
declined to act as president, and as he
was not present. Brown s statement
was accepted. and Attorney. General
NJ. A Breeden was chosen, That
gentleman is said to have been very
indignant when told of the circum
stances, and has intimated that he Will
refuse TO act. Mr.. Christensen con-
siders that he is still president, aud
intends to act on that supposition. He
is not worrying over the matter, which
seems to have been, according to his
idea, only a trifling and spiteful act
on the part Of the quondam eX-Judge

COTTON MEN KICK.
Say Railroads Discriminate Against
Them in Oriental Trade,

WAsHINToN- April 1s.-Hearing OF
three cases, involving charges of ex-
cessive rates and discrimination upon
the part of about thirty railroad com
panies against cotton manufacturers Of
the South, began today before the In
terstate Commerce commission. All the
complaints allege unjust and discrim-
matory rates on cotton goods shipped to
China and Japan.
1t is alleged that the railroads favor
The Eastern cotton mills in their freight
rates to Pacific coast terminals on goods
intended for the Oriental trade. They
say they are compelled to pay rate
of SIPS per hundred on such goods
from points in Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi. Louisiana and Texas, whereas
the Eastern manufacturers obtain a
much lower rate.

PRESIDENT GETS KNOWLEDGE.
Upon Operation of Texas Stock and
Bond Law

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Some in
teresting information upon the opera
ton of the Texas stock and bond law
of 1893, under which 4 valuation of
railroad properties of the State was
made in 1895, was given to the President
today by Judge s, II. Cowan of Texas,
special employe of the Interstate
Commerce commission and attorney for
the Southwestern Cattle Growers asso-
citation.
Mr.. Cowan told the President that the
Texas law had proved success. 1t had
not been put upon the statute books
for the purpose of becoming the basis
Tor rate making, he said, but to fix a
line beyond which the roads could not
go in issuing stocks and bonds. He
added that the valuation put upon the
railroads by the Texas commission hav,
ing charge of the matter exceeded the
cost of construction by Is 10 90 per
cent, and the cost of the ascertainment
of the facts had been comparatively
small. So far as he was aware, Judge
Cowan said, none al the railroads had
contested valuation made under the
law.
President Roosevelt is acuiring all the
information available upon the various
phases of the subject Of railroads.
