FOR DRIVING ON WALK.
Thomas 3. Wright Is Fined So ir
Police Court.

Thomas B. Wright was fined IS yester-
day afternoon IN the police court for dry
ing upon the sidewalk in Fifth South
street between Tenth and Eleventh East
streets Wright stated that ne drove two
wheels upon the sidewalk because of the
muddy condition of the street.
Assistant City Attorney Rogers urged
Judge Diehl not to dismiss Wright with
out a fine. saying that his office was
swamped with complaints against drivers
who use the sidewalks instead of the
streets and that it was time the court
was doing something toward putting an
end to the practice of violating the side
walk ordinance.
Judge Diehi agreed with Mr.. Rogers,
saving that a muddy condition of the
street was no excuse for driver to use
the sidewalk.
Wright came near being deprived of
the pleasure of standing trial. When his
name was called. a John Doe in the liIss,
of drunkards rose to his feet
Are you Thomas B. Wright" was
asked.
II don't know what name ! gave last

ING LOSING FIGHT.
WILL DROP MORMON ISSUE
Especial Correspondence

Boise, Ida, March 12.-Great interest
attaches in every section Of the state
10 the revolt of prominent Democrats
against the further exploitation of the
Mormon question in this campaign and
making the election of Bryan and ma
tional issues paramount.
In some quarters an attempt was
made 10 make it appear that this
is a personal fight on Senator
Dubois, but such is not the case.
In fact, some of the men most
prominent in this protest, as, for
example. Judge Stockslager, Karl
Paine. X. l. Perky, have been cham
piOns of Mr.. Dubois in the past, and
are his personal friends now. but they
place the success of the Democratic
party and the election of Bryan above
any merely personal consideration. The
position taken that seems inVulnerable
is that this is a question for the courts
to decide and not one for party action,
except to call attention to the situa-
tion, and this has been done in two
campaigns.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-03-14

and, of course, all who take 1t will be
allowed to vote.
There can be no question that every
Mormon in the state will take this
oath, as they hold that they do not
now teach or practice polygamY. In
case this position is disputed it will
come up in the courts, and they will
have TO determine the facts in the case.
1t viii no doubt go 10 the supreme
court. whatever the decision in the
lower court may be, and the supreme
court will have to pass on It, When
they do pass on it of course that will
be the law so that in case the Nor
mons are disfranchised at all il will
have to be done through the courts.
Too Late for Decision.
As the case is now in the supreme
court, and will no doubt be referred
back to the district court, the appeal
lying to the point of jurisdiction, the
whole question will have to be gone
over in the lower court and il will be
too late to get a decision from the SUI
preme court until after the election.
All that leading Democrats ask i:
that a chance be given to carry the
state for Bryan, which cannot be done
il the Mormon issue is injected again
in this campaign.
A careful canvass of the situation in
Ada, Boise, Blaine, Owyhee, Elmore
Lincoln and Canyon counties shows
that hundreds of Democrats in all these
counties are fiocking to the standard
of Bryan Democracy, and these coun-
ties will all send delegations to both
state conventions in sympathy with
this view. Word has been received
from NeZ Perez and Idaho that a sim
liar feeling prevails there. A prom
inent professor in the State university
at Moscow, Latah county, wrote &
prominent Democrat here that beyond
question Latah would also be in line.
1t Is confidently expected that beth
conventions win be captured by those
who desire a campaign along nationa
lines. The only aim is to make Democ-
racy victorious in this state.

That East Orange Couple Conn
mitted No Crime.

An alleged fraudulent deed to Free
holder Amos w Harrison, of Living
ston from Andrew w. Teed and his
wife. Lizzie s.. Teed, of 29S N. Park
street, East Orange, was the ground #
an action brought today before Vice
Chancellor Emery against the Teeds
by the Orange National Bank.
Counsel for the bank claimed that
in order to prevent the service of a
writ secured by them to seize the
property owned by iced and his wife in
North Park st-..et, the latter advanced
a fraudulent deed giving Freebooter
Harrison . prior claim to the property
for a consideration of $500. The date
ON the supposed deed was March %,
1907.
The Orange National Bank brought
suit against Teed and his wife in June
of the same year for an overdue note
of 81, 900. and secured a writ of execu-
ton the twelfth of the following month.
In handing down his decision, Vice.
Chancellor Emery today stated that no
evidence had been adduced in the case
to show that either leeds or Har-.
rison a acted with an intent to de-
ceive in signing the deed, n that he
must hold the deed to be in effect a
mortgage and to represent a prior
claim to the judgment obtained by the
bank in June, 1907.
