REBUKED FOR
CROWDING OF
PLATFORMS
Conductors Arrested,
Discharged Continues
Platform Crusade.

The crusade against overcrowding
of the real platform of street cars is
still being continued by Inspector
Crawford, of the Board of Works, al
though no arrests were made last
night. In the First Criminal Court this
morning the six conductors, +. G..
Gross, Charles Aab. Luke Bierne,
James Black, Louis Hardesty and John
Bevense, who were arrested Tuesday at
the Four Corners. were arraigned be-
fore Judge Howell on the complaint of
Inspector Crawford, who charged them
with violating a city ordinance. All of
the men pleaded guilty, through their
counsel, Howard MacSherry, of the
Public Service Corporations legal de-
partment. Judge Howell allowed them
to go with a reprimand, owing to the
fact that Inspector Crawford did not
want to prosecute them.
Mr.. MacSherry stated to the court
that 1t was the wish of the Public Serv-
ice Corporation that the overcrowding
on the platforms be done away with.
He stated that the conductors had
been instructed to enforce the ordi-
nance. He further stated that the troll
ley company is anxious that its patrons
try to do their share in living up to the
ordinance.
Since the arrest of the six conduc-
tors there has been a noticeable desire
on the part of other conductors to see
that the platforms are not over
crowded.
Though 1 placed several copies of
the ordinance in the hands of the po-
lice at the time the ordinance was
passed. said Inspector Crawford to-
day, 81 find that there are n numberof
policemen, and even captains. who
know nothing about its existence. In
order to receive further cooperation
from the police l have had several
copies of the ordinance sent to the
precincts.

WORKS BOARD ORDERS
FLUSHING MACHINES.
May Be Substituted for Revolving
Broom Street Cleaner if They
work Satisfactorily.

Three of the new street flushing ma
chimes, which were ordered by the
Board of Works some time ago. at the
suggestion of Commissioner Frank J.
Book, chairman of the committee on
streets and highways, We're given a
trial yesterday. If they prove superior
to the present revolving broom method
many of them will be substituted for
this method.
The machine was viewed by the COM
missioners while on their trip to De-
troit to attend the convention of the
Municipal Improvement Association
there. The machines are in operation
I'm Cleveland.
While the pavements in the cities
mentioned are materially different from
this city, still it is thought that the
flushing process will minimize the ex-
penses Of the department and insure
clean streets.
The machines cost $1,000 EACH. A
resolution was passed by the Board of
Works providing for the purchase of
three of them. If found satisfactory
more will be ordered.
Each machine holds 600 gallons of
water, which, it is estimated, will thor
oughly clean 800 lineal feet Of pave
ment.
The street-fiushing system was tried
once before. but it was found that the
water, descending on the pavement in
an almost vertical stream, washed out
the joints of the pavements. The pres
ent machine has the sprays located
close to the ground and throws the
water in an almost horizontal direc-
ton.

TO
TAKE OFFICE
DEC. 6?
Claims Right to Succeed
Burnett hen-- MeyerW ants
to Lead Council Minority.

Charles l.. Whitfield, the Eighth
Ward Republican who was elected on
November 5 to the Common Council
for the short term TO fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation in August
of Curtis r. Burnett, expects to take
his seat when the Common Council
meets on Decembr 6, claiming that the
Eighth Ward is not represented prop
erly. and that he is entitled to office
before the Council is organized.
This is establishing q precedent in
the Council, as all short-term members
in the past have waited until the new
Council was organized, in accordance
with the provisions of the Meeker cleo
ton law. Mr.. Whitfield contends that
he has a right to fill the zeal of the
nan he was elected to succeed as soon
al he is sworn in, and that he intends
to do so.
Alderman Estelle is the only repre-
sentative of the Eighth Ward in the
Council, and will give way to his sue
cessor on January /. 7
Before the next meeting, on Deem
Der 6, the Republican minority will
hold its party caucus and decide on a
leader. Up to several days ago it was
practically certain that Jerome T.
Congleton, of the Eleventh Ward, who
took the place of Alderman William
p. Martin, would be the man. but to-
day 1t came to light that Alderman
Eugene Meyer, of the Ninth Ward. was
in the running, and has a sufficient
number of his colleagues pledged to
him to insure his selection.
Mr.. Meyer has the support of his coll
leagues in the Ninth Ward. both alder
men of the Sixteenth Ward, and if
Masker is victorious in the First Ward
recount against Wright, Meyer will
have the support Of both representa-
tives from that ward. New additions
to the ranks of his adherents are
Aldermen-elect Whitfield, of the
Eighth Ward. and Schmidt, of the Fif-
tenth Ward.

The executive committee having

questionable article after the first ar
rest. The act complained of consist
ed in selling what is known to the
trade as "Gold Foam" which, we un-
derstand, is a brewed drink having
considerable less alcoholic strength
than common beer. That the drink
is intoxicating in the usual quantity
we do not know, although intoxica-
ton is much a matter of degree. The
question as to whether it is an intox-
icating liquor is one that will come
before the court for decision.

From the towns all over the state
come complaints of the dandelion de
stroying the lawns. 1t is also motto
ed that this pest is gradually work
ing into the fields; near town it can
be seen growing on prairie sod. Should
it spread to cultivated fields to the
extent that it does to lawns and gar
dens it will become a nuisance great
er than the Russian or Canadian this
tie, or any other field pest known to
the northwest. In some towns an or
ganized effort is being made to get
rid of the dandelion. Here is a for
mula adopted by some:
"Dissolve two pounds of sulphate of
iron in gallon of water and add about
two and one-half ounces of sulphuric
acid. For large quantities it is about
right to dissolve a lOO-pound sack of
sulphate in a fifty to ffty-two gallon
barrel Of water. And after thoroughly
mixing the same add ten pounds of
sulphuric acid. Care should be exer-
cised in the use of the sulphuric acid,
it being a poison"
This solution is sprayed or sprin
kled over the lawn and is said to be a
"sure cure" for the dandelion

Much has been said of the late
spring of 1907, but De Smet people
know to a certainty that the 10th of
June, with its regulation weather, ar
rived on schedule time. On that day
De Smet is wont to celebrate in honor
of the old settlers, and on that day
for several years past we have been
treated to more or less rain. For five
days prior to the 10th rain had fallen
every day and every night. On the
evening of the 9th one of those soak
ing rains began to fall and continued
until daylight Monday. Everything
was thoroughly soaked, every little
depression was filed with water and
the roads were practically impossible.
OF a necessity the doings of the day
had to be abandoned; they could not
be pulled off as advertised and Meth
er could the people get out to enjoy
them if an attempt had been made to
carry out the program. 1t was a
great disappointment to all. The
preparations made by the various
committees exceeded anything in the
past. The financial loss to hotel and

feeding the large crowd expected

WON'T TOLERATE
NON-UN|ON MEN
Planning Mill Men Declare They
Will Not Work With Them
in Open Shops.
NUMBERS ARE ON STRIKE
TWO PLANTS AFFECTED BY
WAlKOUT OF WORkMEN.

Planning iniilmen are on strike be-
cause they will not work with non
union men. and for no other reason:
that is the testimony they bear.
Last evening a delegation of the mill
men, whose local union is No. 725, Unit
ed Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers. called at The Herald office. The
committee desired to state this as a
fact:
There are five union men out at the
Salt Lake Building & Manufacturing
company's plant; nine non-union men
and two boys are working.
There are fifteen union men out at
the Taylor Armstrong plant. Two nom
union men worked yesterday. but their
applications for membership in the
union have been received and acted
upon bly-MOnday they will not
work.
Companies running with union men,
and which viii continue so to run are:
The Sierra Nevada. the Granite Lumber
company, the Commercial Mill &
Building company. the Electric Turn
ing works, the Central Planning Mill &
Staircase works. The last-named COM
pany recently suffered grievously by
reason of fire. but the men employed
there were all union men.
There is no demand for an increase
in wages; there is a request for the
shortening of the weeks work Dy one
hour. so that the half holiday on Sat
urday may be heightened to that ex-
tent
A committee from the district coun-
ell of the carpenters and joiners stated
to The Herald last evening that it had
waited on all of the mill owners, and
that all of the owners. save one, were
favorable to meeting between the
men and the owners-that is, the men
as represented by the district couicil
The one who refused to entertain the
proposition TO meet in conference, it
was stated gave no reason for his re-
fusal He simply said that he would
not meet with the men.
