gress viii meet at Albuquerque, n. NJ,
Sept. 20 to oct. 3. 1908. and the board
OF control has addressed communica-
ton to Gov. Cutler. asking that Utah
make an exhibit at the exposition to
be held at that time. Following is
paragraph of the letter;
THE great state OF Utah was the
pioneer in the scientific irrigation meth
cd OF this country. Your state has been
successful in competition with other
states at a number of irrigation con-
crosses and exposltions held in connec-
ton Herewith. We do not know when
your legislature is in session or what
officials of your state are empowered
to undertake the Installation of state
exhibit at an exposition of this sort,
but If there is any way In which you
can bring about the bringing of an ex-
hibit from the State of Utah 1t VIII be
the pleasure of the board of control
to accord you every facility FOR its
proposed installation in buildings which
are to be especially erected for the eX-
position / know that you have been
interested In irrigation. and 1t is I'M
necessary for me to write you with ref
erence to the great Importance OF the
policy of the national government out
lined in the national reclamation act.
We are very anxious to have the state
of Utah make an exhibit here and VIII
certainly appreciate any effort, officially
or personally, which you may use III

exhibit to the congress-
1t is further pointed out in the COM
munlcation that the government VIII

by the presence of several cabinet Of
ficers, and that the government Will
also make a large exhibit at the inter-
state Industrial exposition, which will
be held concurrently with the congress
and continuing until the 10th of Octo-
Der.
Gov. Cutler said today that whether
or not Utah would make an exhibit as
requested by the congress officials
would depend upon individual interest
In the matter. For Utah's showing at
the Sacramento convention, which
brought so much glory TO the state, the
legislature appropriated $4,000 and 49,
600 or $1,000 more was subscribed by
persons Interested in the project There
will be no means OF getting the state
to do anything for the Albuquerque con-
gress. as the legislature does not meet
in the meantime If the people OF the
state consider the enterprise to be OF
sufficient Importance to induce public
subscription. all good and we'll, says the
executive, but otherwise the desired ex-
hibit cannot be made

JOE SULLIVAN IS
TO Be TRIED HERE
Petition for a Change Of Venue is
0verruIed in District
Court.
BY JUDGE GEO. G. ARMSTRONG
Accused Murderer of Onicer Ford In
Court Exhibits No Emotion
At Decision.

Joe Sullivan, charged with the muir
der OF Police officer C. II. Ford, VIII
be tried by a jury chosen from Salt
Lake county, the petition for a change
of venue having been overruled by
Judge George G. Armstrong this morn
ing. The decision of the court was
given in very few words. and was to
the effect that sufficient reasons had
not been advanced by the defendant
in his contention that he could not
have a fair and impartial trial by
jury selected from this county, and
therefore the motion that the case be
tried either in Summit county or Tooele
county would be denied.
Sullivan was In court when the de-
cision of Judge Armstrong was rem
dered, having been brought in from the
state prison by Deputy Sheriff Joe
Sharp. The prisoner evinced no signs
OF disappointment at the judgment
passed upon his application, evidently
not having been over-confident that
the unusual request would be granted,
Arguments were made for and
against the motion for change of
Venue Monday morning of this week,
and the matter was taken under adj
visement until this morning.
