Nucleus of Over Fifty Thousand
Dollars Is Now in the
Treasury.
LEGISLATURE MAY BE
ASKED FOR $150,000
Amendment May Be Submitted
to Increase Bonding Limit
Of the State.

The interview with Freeman Morn,
ingstar, a member of the Salt Lake
Real Estate exchange, published exclu-
sively in The Tribune Thursday morn.
ing, in which that gentleman outlined
plan which had been discussed by the
exchange for the erection Of state
capitol building, elected much interest
and attention in the city. Although
there are obstacles in the way Of bring
ing about this much desired end. OBJ
stacles of financial nature, it is be.
lived that they can be overcome sue
cessfully.
It was in 1883 that approximately
twenty acres OF land were set apart on
what is now known as Capitol hill, at
the north end of State street. for a CAPT
tol building. but that is really as far as
the project ever proceeded. a bill was
introduced in the legislature OF 1905
and the one Of 1907 providing for put
ting aside 900 annually as a nucleus
for state capitol fund, but In the rusn
of business at the close of each session
both bills were evidently lost, and this
ended the matter.
Included in those mea sures were pro
visions for competitive plans and spccl-
fications by architects. the first prize
ore to be adopted for the building and
cash prizes to be given for second and
third, but the failure of the bills put
quietus on this.
Under the enabling act OF the state
( OF Utah 100 sections OF public lands,
64.C00 acres. were set aside, the pro
ceels from the sale of which were TO be
used in the construction of public build
! ings in the state capital, and this could
be very prc6tably used for state capl-
col. The amount IN this fund on Octo-
ber l. 1908, which includes interest on
deferred payments for land, interest on
money out on loan and rentals, was
! s51. 1.524l6. Approximately only about
, from 25 TO 33 per cent OF the purchase
! price of the land has been collected.
J Much OF tho land has been sold at Sl.50
per acre; the land board is now asking
! $3.50 per acre, so con sider3bly over
| 100000 should be realized from this
| source.
Some architects have drawn plans fo1
the proposed capitol. and some Of theseV
may yet be preserved IN the archives
of the Office of the secretary Of state.
1t appears that Governor-elect Sprv
| has plan In mind 20 achieve this end.
He may ask the next legislature to .aap-
propriate $4,000 in 1909 and a similar
sum in 1910. This same body may be
asked TO pass resolution tavorlng a
constitutional amendment increasing
the maximum bonded Indebtedness of
the state, which is at present limited 20

CHARGES HER HUSBAND
WITH BRUTAL MURDER

DENVER, Nov. 5.-The body of a
man, believed TO be Volly Mann, who
had been shot through the hoad, was
found today on the prairie about twelve
miles from North Platte, Neb,, by
Sheriff Eugene Beal. The officer had
been guided TO the spot where the BODY
lay by Mrs, Jennie Miner Smith, who
charges that her husband, John Henry
Dale Smith, killed Mann.
According TO the woman s story, when
she and her husband were driving across
the plains to Denver several weeks AGO
Mann came afoot to their wagon and
asked for meal. which she gave him,
After he had eaten, she declared, her
husband shot him and robbed the BODY
of eight dollars.
Mann, who was about 80 years old,
had told Mrs. Smith that ho was ON
tho way to Laramie, Wyo., to look for
his father and brother. After reaching
Denver Smith deserted his wife. and
she then informed the police of the al
legged crime

CHINA INSuLTED BY
VISIT OF SQUADRON

PEKING, Nov. 5.-Though toe Ameri-
can squadron has left Annoy, the matter
OF their presence at the southern port
has not been more than mentioned IN
Picking. Officials are silent and the I'M
preston of general humiliation at the
iact that only squadron came, instead
OF the whole deet. cannot be concealed.
The meagerness of the reply OF the for-
eign board To Admiral Sperry's messages
OF congratulations on the birthday OF the
dowager empress has also attracted at
tention. and II is clear that the throne
has been indifferent to the whole affair
It Is generally realized and declared In
Peklng that the coming Of tho squadron
and not the main fleet viii have an un-
favorable effect upon present relations.
The principal British newspaper II
China, In an unfriendly article today,
approves the sending OF q squadron In
stead OF tha whole fleet, and refers to
Americas gamoit In opening 3 CONNER
cial lottery after returning an indemnity
to which she was not entitled,
The paper gives various reasons why
the fleet should not have come, saylng.
among other things, that China would
have mlsintcrpreted visit from all tae
vessels, and that the presence OF the
entire fleet would have shown lack Of
consideration OF British sensib!llty.

BRYAN SENDS WORD
OF GENERALIZATION
Message of the Defeated Candi-
date to Taft Is Courteously
Responded To.

CINCINNATI. Nov. 5.-'Pleasc ac-
cept congratulations and best wishes
for the success of Your administration.
FW. J. BRYAN"
81 thank you sincerely for your cor
dial and courteous telegram of con-
graduation and good wishes.
WILLIAM II. TAFT
These messages were .ouay exchanged
between Lincoln and Cincinnati.
The message from Mr.. Bryan came
while Judge Taft was addressing the
general conference Of the Women 8
Foreign Missionary society of the NJ. E.
church, lie received the message on
his return to his residence and answered
it at once.
In his address to the women, having
been flatteringly introduced by Bishop
J. c. Hartzell, Judge Taft gave an en-
thusiastic commendation of foreign
mission work. His experience iu the
far east, he said, had taught him the
value Of this work in uplifting those
peoplc, and he commented upon the
elevating effect Of Christianity, es-
pecially upon the heather women.
The speaker was warmly and enthus.
iasticalIy received by the members OF
the conference, Each had provided her
self with small American flag. The
presence of Judge Taft was the signal
for a pretty demonstration. At the end
of his speech no was overwhelmed with
personal congratulations on his success
at the polls.
Judge Taft tonight was the honored
guest at tho twenty ninth annual din
ner of the Commercial club, held at the
Queen City club. Judge Taft has been
a member of this exclusive organization
for fifteen years, and his presence to-
night was made much Of as local cello

LATEST Reforms
Of THE ELECTION
Maryland Still in Doubt, With
the Electoral Vote Proba-
bly, Divided.
MISSOURI APPEARS TO
BE SAFE FOR TAFT
Latest Congressional Returns
Show That Republicans Will
Have Big Majority.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The member
ship of the electoral college which will
choose the next president of the United
States remained in dispute when the
official counters in Maryland abandoned
their task for the night.
According TO the best information
obtaipable the proportionate numbers Of
Republican and Democratic electors will
be determined by division of Mary
land s eight votes. Half Of the city of
Baltimore and two of the twenty-three
counties outside of that city are still 10
be counted. but there is a strong indi-
cation that the state's vote will be
split. In any event the margin of vic
tory will be so small that the state was
claimed tonight by the leaders Of both
parties. Though the splitting of a
state " electoral vote is unusual, ii will
be recalled that in 1904 Maryland chose
one Republican and seven Democratic
electors.
Missouri for Taft.
Missouri appears to be safely for
Taft, to whom the latest returns give a
plurality of 800, with the prospects that
the few final districts viii double or
triple these figures.
Conceding Missouri 10 Taft and leav-
ing Maryland TO be split between him
and Bryan, the figures show $40 Repub-
licap electors assured and 156 Demo
cratic.
Latest congressional returns indicate
that the next congress will be composed
of 2l6 Republicans and 175 Democrats,
majority for the Republicans OF IL.
The returns for the Socialist and Pro-
bibition parties are still far from com.
plete, but indicate that the hopes OF
the Socialists have not been realized,
and those Of the Prohibitionists 10 Ger
tain sections where gains had been ex-
pected, have been disappointing. The
figures for the Independence party vote
arc also inefficient TO give an accurate
idea OF what that party accomplished.
Outside of the returns political inter
est was engaged today in the exchange
of messages OF cougratnlation and
thanks between Mr.. Bryan and Mr.
Taft; a statement by Mr.. Bryan in
which he sets forth his determination
10 continue his work for the good OF
all in the capacity of private citizen
and the announcement by Mr.. Sherman
that it cost him Just $500 to be elected
vice-president.

Young James Cook, destined
later to become England's greatest
navigator, was at seventeen placed
on probation in the shop of small
tradesman at Staithes, near Whitby.
Seeing a new shilling in the till, the
lad took it out, replacing it by one
of his own. The master, missing
the bright shilling, searched Cooks
box and found it there, sent for a
constable and for Cooks father and
charged the boy with theft. The
boy declared his innocence and ex-
planned. The master expressed his
regret, and, although Cooks father

stay, his reply was: NO, father, |
