BANK REPRESENTATIVES
EXTREMELY FESTIVE
They Tell Equalization Board
They Are Disseminated
Against.

The County Commissioners met Mon
day as board OF equalization. There
appeared before them representatives of
the city banks who urged that the
present system of taxation of their
property was unfair and that to a very
large extent they were Disseminated
against far more than any other in
dustrinl organization. The exemption
Of mortgages as now provided for by
law was touched upon very briefly but
a statement will oe made upon this
point by Judge Zane this morning when
the board again will hear the bank
representatives, Those present were
Frank Knox, representing the National
Bank of the Republic; F. E. McGurrin
and Judge Zane for the Salt Lake Sc
curity and Trust Company; II. p. Clark.
for the Commercial Bank, NJ. H. Walk.
er, for Walkers Bros and Hyram
Young and Judge LeGrand Young for
the Deseret National bank.

END OF WEEK MAY
BRING SETTLEMENT
Strike Between the Electrical
Workers and Telephone
Companies.

II not only is hoped but believed with
considerable assurance that the end of
the week may bring n termination of
the trouble between the electrical
workers and the Utah Independent and
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone Com.
panies. The hope is based upon the
contents OF telegram received Monday
from Charles \. Elmore, special repre-.
sentative sent here by the grand officers
al San Francisco, and Louis Lynn, pres
ldent of the district council, who have
been in Wyoming and Montana TO learn
the temper of the different locals
there toward a settlement. The word
ing of the telegram leads to the belief
that Mr.. Elmore and President Lynn,
who are scheduled TO return 10 Salt
Lake tonight, have been successful in
their mission in Montana and Wyoming
and will return with full authority from
the several locals there to bring about a
settlement of the strike with the com.
panies.
Mr.. Elmore and President LYNN went
10 Montana and Wyoming about one
week ago. The trip was necessary be
cause of the rumors TO the effect that
the Montana and Wyoming locals would
not abide by settlement that Mr..
Elmore might effect and the refusal of
the Bell Company TO negotiate with the
strikers representatives until il was
known for certainty that the differ
ent locals throughout the district af-
fected will stand by what the strikers
committees do toward n settlement If
President Lynn and Mr. Elmore get
back from the north country tonight a
conference between them and the Bell
company may be looked for Wednes-
day.
The strike began about five weeks
ago, over the refusal of the companies
to accede TO the mems demands for an
advance in wages of fifty cents day.
About % mon are involved locally. the
men were receiving between S75 and
800 a month each and the loss TO
them by reason of the strike has been
more than $1,000. The loss to the COM
panies is for the most part in the delay
to extension work

FREEDOM IS IN SIGHT
FOR PICkPOCKETS
Men Accused of Taking Stolen
Jewelry Not Likely to Be
Convicted.

Phillips. Mcfarland and Jennings,
the three men arrested in Denver on n
charge of receiving jewelry stolen
in the Daynes burglary in Salt
Lake. are likely to be discharged when
they are brought before City Judge C.
B. Diehl for preliminary examination
today.
The State, to all appearances, will
be unable to prove the ''corpus de-
hcti, or, IN other words, the fact that
the crime was committed IN Salt
Lake county Il is necessary for the
State TO do this before the confessions
of the men can he introduced in eyi-
dence. They partially confessed in
Denver. hut there is no evidence. other
than their own, that the venue Of
the crime lies in Salt Lake county.
Under the law the bare confession is
not sufficient 10 prove that n crime was
committed. though it would he suhi-
cient to prove the guilt Of the accused
after the State had proven by other
evidence that the crime had been com
mitted
Since they were brought here from
Denver the three men have changed
their minds about pleading guilty.
They retained Attorneys Sorcn X,
Christensen and William Newton to de-
tend them, and are ready 10 put mp
fight for their liberty. They were 10

that the State viii be any more ready

WHY WILLARD HANSON
REGLECTS HIS DUTY
Private BUSINESS Takes Up the
Time the Taxpayers Are
Paying Him For.

sidelight was thrown Monday on
the neglect of duty by County Attorney
Willard Hanson, which has resulted in
the choking Of City Court dockets and
the confinement without hearing of a
large number Of prisoners who are en-
titled TO preliminary hearing.
The fact is that Mr. Hanson has been
employed as a sort Of law clerk to At
torney w. ID. Livingston OF Manti, who
has opened a law Office in Salt Lake.
Mr. Livingston is attorney for the San
pete Valley railroad and several irri-
cation companies, and Mr.. Hanson s
time is occupied largely in attending
to Mr., Livingston S business
Salt Lake county pays Mr. Hanson
$500 year for attending to its busi-
ness in lostice and city courts. Most
of the work Of his Office comes in CITY
Judge G. 3. Diehl IS court, and MI.
Hanson has not set foot IN that court
for over a month. Practically the en-
tire work Of his Office, except the per
secution of Chief of Police George A.
Sheets, has been turned over to his
deputies, while he deyotes his atten-
ticn to earning .fside money!
EXasperated attorneys representing
defendants who are entitled to their
preliminary hearings are likely to call
the attention of the County Commits
sioners TO Mr.. Hanson 8 neglect of duty
unless there is reform in the manner
in which his office does business.

Governor John c. Cutler and tho board
Of county commissioners had consults
tIon Monday afternoon about the prose-
cution OF Chief OF Police George y.
Sheets by the Mormonzed State and
county administrations. When lt was
all over none OF those present would dis.
cuss what had been talked about. but
on pretty reliable authority Il was
learned that the governor wants the
county TO put up the money to hire spe-
'cial counsel in the case. The State has
no funds for that purpose.

This was denied by Major Breeder. who
pointed out with true "Kaintucky" en-
phasiS that he was not county attorney,
was not discharglng the county attor-
neys duties. and didn't know nor care
these two distinguished servants OF the

As for Mr.. Loofbourow, he is on bad

shoulder the responsibility on Mr.. Loot
