ROGERS ASKS DAMAGES
H'ith James SiLmdn Denies Charges
IN Union Pacific Mercer Suit.

Salt Lake City May fl. H Rogers and

suit of the government. filed their answers in
the federal court to-day They with E H
Hartman. Jacob Schf and others and the
Union Pacific, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe, the Southern Pacific and other railroads
are charged with unlawful conspiracy in at
tempting to gain control Of other railroads and
restrain and control commerce between the
states.
Mr.. Rogers makes sweeping denial Of every
allegation and demands that the case against
him be dismissed because he is not 4 resident
of the Utah district and therefore not within the
jurisdiction of the court. He also asks that
costs be granted him and also damages for in
jury TO his character by reason Of the aIega-
tions made against him.
He denies that he is or ever vas a member
of any body of men who attempted to gain
control and restrain commerce and traffic be-
tween the states. that he ever bought stock
in any railroad TO gain control
Nj Rogers admits that he bought heavily Of
Atchson, Topeka Santa Fe stock. but said
he did purely as an investment even though
the purchase was heavy enough in some cases
TO absorb half tta stock. and he denies that
there was the slightest intent TO conspire or
gain control TO an unlawful end.
Nj Rogers gives as his belief through in
formation and observation that no ons Of the
defendants in the merger suit had any idea of
creating a combination for the unlawful control
Of the Southern Pacific. He denies acquaint-
ance with all the deals made prior to October s.
1901. the date he became a director and before
which time the government alleges that all the
attempts to gain control were made Since that
time, Mr.. Rogers AYERS neither he, Hartman.

made in any way an effort to get control Of th-
road.
Similar admissions and deniaIs were made
concerning purchases Of Union Pacific stock

Line.

FOLK SONG cANTATA.
The Date for "out of the Depths"
Changed to Wednesday, Feb. 10.

me Date TOR out OF the Depths"
Changed to Wednesday, Feb. 19.
1t was given out this week that the
proposed repetition of "Out of the
Depths" the popular folk song canta-
ia by the Work Brothers, which was
to have been repeated at the Mt. Olive
Baptist Church on Monday night, Feb
ruary 8, has been postponed. The man
aSement of the cantata, Mr.. Mcintyre,
and the Superintendent of Mt. Olive
Sunday School, Mr.. J. E. Hurt, both
stated to a Globe representative that
there were two important reasons for
changing the date. The first being the
fact that Prof. Fred Work is always
out of the city on Monday at Jackson,
Tenn, and the second being the short
ness of time for rehearsing.
Knowing that there would be a
large, intelligent and appreciative
audience to witness the reproduction
of this cantata, we wanted to be in bet
ter form than before, because at the
last entertainment quite a number of
the leading singers were suffering with
colds" said Mr.. Mcintyre.
The arrangements as perfected in
details, are as follows: The date of
the affair is February, 10, which is
Wednesday. The place: the main audi
forum of Mt. Olive Baptist Church.
The admission fee has been fixed at
the small sum of fifteen cents. 1t is
expected that hundreds of tickets will
be sold and not less than 1900 admis-
sion fees will be chalked off on that
night, as the entertainment is given
especially for the benefit of the Sun
day school.
The program will be practically the
same as that rendered at Fisk Univer-
sity, with the exception Of a few adj
ditional new songs from Cole & John
son, that Prof. Mcintyre has received
recently. +

not neglected, for she gave much of
her time seeing after this part of the
work and helping where help was
needed. With much reluctance Mrs.
Tyree's resignation was received. She
felt that she could not give us so much
of her time, as she expected to visit
the different conferences of her hus-
band, the Right Bishop e. Tyree.
Mrs. C. M. Taylor was chosen as our
fourth president. With Mrs. Taylor
came the idea of getting some kind
of a Phyllis Wheatley Home. The la
dies concurred in this movement and
the work at Mercy Hospital was dis
continued and the club which had been
holding its meetings at Mercy Hos
pital began to meet at the homes of
the different members. This prevails

dent. She, too, will always be Temem-
bered in the prayers of the poor of
the city, as she was their friend and
helper.
Mrs. Ellen Tyree succeeded Mrs.
Shelton. With Mrs. Tyree as presi-
dent the clubs work at Mercy Hos.
pital grew and 1ourished. The la
dies went to work with a will and
many a bolt of domestic was bought
and made up into garments for the
sick. The Phyllis Wheatley Day was
designated and on that day many use
full and sometimes valuable gifts were
brought by the members and friends
of the club. Some afternoons the la
dies would meet there and cut out and
make garments, others would take
some pieces home to make and to get
