Weather Bureau Man Has Wis
tied Large Number of
Stations in Utah.
EXTENSION OF SERVICE
IS PURPOSE In VIEW
Weather Over the State, He
Says, About the Same as
in Salt Lake City.

Robert J, Hyatt, local section director
of the United States weather bureau,
returned to the city, Monday afternoon,
after q three-weeks' inspection trip of
the various substations of the weather
bureau throughout the state. During
the trip DR.. Hyatt visited tho sations
at Panquitch, Marysvale, Richfield, Sa-
lima, Manti, Ephraim, Mount Pleasant,
Thistle, Provo, Payson. Soldier SUM
nit and Scofield. AT Panquitch, Sa-
lima, Ephraim, Provo, Payscu ami Sol
der Summit he also estabF shed noun
tain rain and snowfall stations.
The establishment OF these stations
is in connection with new. service
which has recently been added TO the
United States weather bureau, known
as the Water Resources service. This
service is designed TO cover a new
series of Chronological observations
and researches OH the supply of water
derived from the snow and rainfall
at the high attitudes in the mountains
of the West for the rivers and reser-
voirs of the lower levels, on the study
of the evaporation of water from the
lakes and storage basins, on the me-
teorological problems OF the influence
of forests on the conservation of water
and the protection Of arabic lands, and
on the meteorological conditions neces
Sary for the growth Of certain valuable
plants, as the date and fig, in the ir-
rigated desert regions.
The operation of this service Will
cover the states of Washington. Mon
tana. North Dakota. South Dakota, Ne
braska, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon. Cali
fornia, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New
Mexico and Arizona.
Important Departure.
Although the work will be under the
control and supervision of the weather
bureau, it will be carried on in con-
nection with the forest service of the
department of agriculture, the bureau
of plant industry of the department OF
agriculture, the reclamation service of
the department of the interior, and the
water resources branch of the geologi-
cal survey of the department Of the IN
terror. II is thought that the co-opera-
tion of these bureaus viii greatly fa-
cilitatc the work and make it n great
deal more effective.
All necessary apparatus for carry
ing on the work will he furnished by
the weather bureau, but members of
each of the other bureaus will assist
III taking observations and so on.
DR.. HYATT says that within the next
few months he will establish nine moro
of these mountain rain and snowfall
stations The cities in which they are
TO be established follow; Lo~an, Yer
nal Salt Lake City. Ogden, st. George,
Beaver, Moab, Escalante and Straw
berry valley,
Speaking of the weather conditions
over the state, DR.. Hyatt says that
there has been practically no precipi-
tation anywhere in Utah thus far this
month. In most localities, be says, the
weather has been about the same as in
Salt Lake. There has been consid-
erable frost, nevertheless, in some sec
tions, he declares.

In the Meantime, Prisoner Is
Being Held on a Fugi-
tive Warrant.
TELEGRAPH WIRES HAVE
BEEN KEPT VERY BUSY
Governor of Texas Sends Mes
sage to Governor Of Utah
Regarding Matter.

According to kilograms received Mon
day by Chief of Police Tom D. Pitt, an
officer from Texas is now en- route to
this city to get W. Hf Fitzgerald. alias
w. II. Penney, who was arrested here
Saturday night upon the request of the
Texas authorities, and take him back to
the Lone Star state to answer TO the
charge of forgery.
Telegraph wires have been kept busy
sending messages back and forth from
local authorities to those in Texas. as
the latter seemed to fear that the man
would be released before they could get
their hands on him. That their fears
were ungrounded is shown by the action
taken by Chief of Police Pitt. The
chief, realizing that an attempt might
be made TO get the man out of Jail on
habeas corpus proceedings, had one of
his detectives, F. NJ. Schulz. swear out
a complaint before the county attorney
Monday charging Fitzgerald with being
a fugitive from Justice. The warrant, is
sued after the complaint was sworn to,
has not been served and no habeas cor
pus proceedings have been instituted.
Governor Heard From.
Governor T. NJ. Campbell of Texas
telegraphed Governor Cutler Monday
from Austin, Texas, requesting him 10
cause the detention of Fitzgerald, alias
Feeney, until requisition papers could
reach here.
Sheriff j. E. Hughes, upon whose. re,
quest Fitzgerald was arrested, has wired
libinf DfIt that no b1S rn1ilrH rho n
dictment against Fitzgerald and that al
officer will take the first train possible
for Salt Lake City armed with necessary
papers TO take the prisoner back to
Texas.
The kilograms received Monday made
the same statement as did the one re-
ceiycd Saturday, which caused F1tZ-
gerald s arrest-that the prisoner wa vas
wanted to answer a forgery charge. The
messages received from Sheriff Hughes
on Monday were forwarded from
Amarillo, Texas.
TAX n From Boys Ward.
When arrested on Saturday night
Fitzgerald was confined IN cell In the
boys ward, where the Gcrceness of be
ing in Jail is not so apparent, as many
times there are not any prisoners con
fined there and if there are any they are
usually innocent-looking youths: But
on Monday afternoon Fitzgerald was
transferred from the boys ward and
placed in one of the cells leading off
the main gallery, where there is an as
soytment Of human nature that make
an interesting study .
There are men doing time for petit
larceny, drunkenness and vagrancy now
confined in cells adjoining the one in
which the distinguished looking Fitz-
gerald is held.
The Indictment against Fitzgerald is
expected in every mail, but when the
Texas officer will arrive in town Is not
known as yet.

BY HENRY THOMPSON
Bellboy Tells of Additional
BurglarieS That He Has

Bickford at the point of revolver. On
Sunday the lad was taken before Chief
of Detectives Sheets and confessed one

fore Detective Sheets, and confessed TO

LOOKING INTO MATTER
OF CAPITOL BUILDING
Salt Lake Real Estate ASsOcia-
ton Is Now Gathering Valu-
able Data.

Within the next few weeks it is ex-
pected that the data being collected
by the Salt Lake Real Estate associa-
ton regarding the cost of capitol build
ings all over the country and the meth
ods of obtaining funds to pay for the
building will have been completely com
piled and ready for presentation TO the
public through the press. The commit
tee, composed Of Freeman Morningstar,
S. Z. Tuttlc and George NJ Cannon,
has been hard at work for many weeks
and letters have been written 10 every
state in the union, asking the cost of
state buildings and the best methods
OF proceeding with their construction.
Many answers to these have been re-
ceiyed, and il is expected that the re-
maindcr will be obtained shortly. AS
soon Us this is done. all the letters
will be arranged in tabu!ated form aud
their contents made public.
In view of the recent discussion,
which has taken place on the subject.
il seems probable that the matter will
receive the attention Of the members
OF the Real Estate association at the
next meeting, to be held at the Com
mcrcia club, at 1915 O'Clock Wedpcs-
day afternoon. Ii was said, Monday,
that the committee might not be able
10 report at that time, however; but
as no other meeting OF the association
will take place for two weeks, it is con
sidcrcd probable that some of the de-
tails OF the matter may be threshed
oul 81 the coming meeting.

OF the returns of the election In Salt Lake
county at the election held on November
S. These returns show the vote cast for
the tickets, seven IN all. which were pre-
sented 10 the voters of Salt Lake county,
These returns are as complete as it Is
possible to give mass Of figures. They tell
the story Of the battle OF the ballots. The
returns differ from the official canvass
IN that they show the vote segregated as

which are now denounced by the mass OF
the voters in that they (the voting ma

do not record the votes cast or the seven

are concerned,
These voting machines. In which the
city and county invested a big sum OF
money, do not record the votes as cast.
There were five electoral tickets pre-
sented the voters OF Utah. In Salt Lake
county these voting machines We're
so set that the votes cast for the Bryan
National ticket were not segregated from
the Democratic ticket. The bars were so
arranged that they recorded but one vote.
And this applies to other offices;
The voting machines are not In accord
with law. In that they do not record the
ballot which q voter casts. The result
is that on the national ticket in Utah,
Wherever Young machines were ustL.
there were only four tickets recorded for
