WORKS AN OLD GAME
Mrs. Rose Foster the Victim of Willy
Pickpocket

Mrs. Rose Foster, n dressmaker liv-
ing at the st. AlbaDs hotel on Second
South street, on Tuesday evening last
fell a victim 10 an old-time pickpocket
game that cost her SlO.75.
Mrs. Foster was on her way TO visit
a friend who lives on North Temple
street, a short distance from First West
She had lust turned the corner of the
latter thoroughfare when she felt the
touch Of hand upon her shoulder, and,
turning, was accosted by man prob
ably % years old, who called her at-
tention TO the fact that her chatelaine
bag was open and that she had prob
nbly been ''robbed. - At the same
time the fellow pointed back along the
way Mrs. Foster had come to where
her hand dkerchief and a card case lay
on the sidewalk. After recovering these
she. with the assistance of the man,
made search for the missing purse
a small affair which she habitually
carries in the bag. The search for this
purse, however. was in vain, and she
was compelled 10 proceed on her way n
loser 10 the extent mentioned.
Neither at the time nor for some time
afterward did the lady suspect that her
informant had been the thief. Later,
however, she became convinced that
such was the case. She did not report
the matter to the police. 1t is an old
trick of the pickpockct and the purse
snatcher TO call attention Of their vic
tins to the fact that they have been
robbed. the purpose, of course, being
TO alIay suspicion as TO the real thief
until he has had time TO get out of

Special to The Tribune.
OGDEN, June l3-Iu connection with
the visit here today of III. j. Cromar,
State Fish and Game Commissioners,
who visited the fish hatcheries in Ogden
Valley in company with Sheriff Sebrlng
this afternoon. Mr. Cromar stated to-
night when he returned that he would
take drastic measures for the protec-
ton of the fish in Ogden River and its
tributaries, which the State at great
expense had planted there. IT. IS not
only the poachers and other vlolators OF
the law that he will pursue. He Will
require that the owners of dams in the
tributaries and in the main canyon shall
establish fish ways over the dams, but
he will especially insist that the Utah
Light & Railway company, which has
one of the largest dams in the canyon,
shall do so within the next ten days.
and that other corporate and pnVare
owners Of dams shall do so within the
next twenty days,
Mr., Cromnr met Mr.. Van der Flies,
the State Deputy Commissioner, and
was shocked at the rocklessness of the
owners of canal systems in permitting
the fish and small fry to escape into
the irrigating bitches; also at the van
dalism of the poachers whom Van der
Vles has been prosecuting recently and
the men who have been catching fish
out of season, very few of them with
hook and fly. and most of them with
bait or with seipes. Mr. Cromar also
expressed his condemnation of the in
activity of County Attorney Nathan
Harris in prosecuting the miscreants
who have been arrested by Mr.. Van der
Nlles

STRIKE ORDER MAY
COME At ANY TINE
If 1t Does, the Local Telegraph
Operators, No Doubt, viii
Walk Out.

A strike of the Western Union tele-
graph operators is threatened and the
order 10 vacate the key may come at
any time. The order TO strike viii
come from the headquarters of the
Commercial Telegraphers union at
New York and it is at that point the
difficulty originated. 1T is claimed that
Broadway, New York, Offices of the
Western Union Telegraph company
were recently discharged. IT is assert.
ed that they were removed without
cause: that a system of discrimination
against union employees had been in
stituted; that hlacklisting was in
vogue; and that the ten per cent IN
crease in salary had not been unlver-
sally carried out.
Complaint was made to T. A. Nc
Cannon, chief operator of the Western
York. asking for the reinstatement of
the discharged employees. This was re
fused. and the union called the matter
to the attention of Robert c. Clowry,
president and general manager of the
Western Union, at New York, Colonel
Clowry and the directors have, it is
understood, refused 10 reinstate the
discharged employees. and it will be
primarily on tins refusal that a strike
may be called,
So far as the operators in the Salt
Lake office are concerned they have
taken no action and in no way have
approached Manager Long Of the local
office They have received the ten per
cent increase in salary. but most of
them are members Of the Commercial
Telegraphers Union of America, and
| should the order TO quit work come,
they will in all likelihood comply.
A strike Of the telegraphers would
most seriously hamper and impede the
| business and commerce Of the country
| so much so that it would necessarily be
! of short duration; either one side or
the other would have to capitulate.

THE FORESTRY BILL.

There is a measure pending be-
fore the present legislature which
is of great importance to the in
terests of the state. and yet which
seems about to be consigned to OBJ
Iivion for lack of a champion with
sufficient interest in the subject
and energy enough to push it to
successful issue. This is the bill
to create a state board of forestry,
the duty of whose members shall
be to safeguard the forests of the
state. supervising the methods of
the numbering industry so as to
prevent the complete devastation of
Texas forests and the bad results
naturally consequent upon present
numbering methods. 1t is to be
hoped that the soIons may do their
duty by the state and enact the
proposed law.
