DISCHARGE RAILROAD MEN.
Slump of Business Said to Be Grow
ing More Pronounced.

According to local railroad men the
slump in railroad traffic grows worse
each day and there is no telling where
it will end.
One official made the broad statement
yesterday that the present slump was the
worst in the history of the Hartman
lines. Both the Southern and Union Pa
cific lines continue to lay off men at all
points along the road. Two additional
crews were laid off on the Salt Lake
division of the Southern Pacific yester-
day. and if the freight traffic continues
to fall off there will be further reduce
tions. Local officials continue their as
sertions that the shop men laid off sew
eral days ago will be returned to duty
next Thursday morning.
East of here the effect of the decrease
in business has not been felt so keenly
as 1t has west of this point This is due
to the fact that considerable coal bust
ness Is handled over the Union Pacific
that does not go west of Ogden. How
ever, the Union Pacific management has
been laying off crews for some time past
in patches of three and four.
1t is also reported that the telegraph
department is feeling the effects of the
falling off of business and that men are
being laid off in all of the relay offices
over the Hartman system The teIe-
graph business Of the railroad has fallen
: # about 80 per cent and it is likely that
the force viii be cut in two before con-
ditions begin to improve

The action brought by Justin r. Davis,

age travelled in the performance of his
duties. was decided adversely to the
plaintiff in an opinion handed down BIZ
the supreme court yesterday This, how
ever, does not mean that the law passed
by the last legislature. providing that no
mileage shall be paid to certain officials
who ride on passes, is declared cOnsti-
tutional, but simply that Davis did not
bring the right kind of an action. He
sought 10 mandamus the state auditor to
issue the warrants The state board of
examiners had already refused to allow
the bill presented by Davis. and the
court holds that an action to compel the
auditor to issue the warrant without au-

taken. The action should have been
against the state board of examiners to
compel them to certify to the auditor that

Little Progress Being Made In Ac-
ton for DAMAGES.

In the Glasmann libel case which has
been on trial before Judge Chidester in
the district court for three days, but
little progress was made yesterday. Aft
er taking testimony during the morning
the case was continued, and the court
went to take a deposition from City De-
tective James T. Fender, who is con-
fined to his home on account of Illness.
The plaintiffs scored an important point
when the court refused to grant the de-
PENDANTS motion to strike out certain
portions of the complaint. When eoun-
sci for the defense attempted to exam
inc DR.. G. A. Dickson regarding the con-
ditiOn of the young girl concerned in the
case, at the time the examination was
made, a strenuous objection was made
on the part of counsel for the plaintiff,
who held that il was not germane to the
pleadingS and moreover was privileged
matter and could not be brought out.
1t was further contended that no evil
dence tending to prove the truth of the
story was admissible, except in mitiga-
ton or the charge, and then would have
to be specially pleaded. Court sustained
the objection and the physician was not
questioned further.
frank Francis, the managing editor of
the Glasmann papers, was recalled. and
testified regarding the method In which
the story was handled. He insisted that
apology or retraction was made of the
charges that Mrs. Richards compelled her
daughter to submit to her step-father be-
fore the filing of the complaint Mrs
Eliza Ann Stone was next called to the
stand and her testimony was objected to
by counsel for the plaintiff and sustained
by the court. A lengthy argument re-
suited: during which Judge Horn stated
that the defense intended to prove by the
witness and others that Mrs. Richards.
mother of the girl. had said to the wit
ness that she had done the same thing
that Olivia had done when she was q
little girl. The argument was not con-
cluded and will be finished when the
case IS recalled tomorrow morning.

occupying room 50 ran out into the hall
and declared that a man was being robbed
in room 26. She said that she could hear
groans in the room, through the door
which connected her room with that in
which the supposed crime was being COM
mitted. An alarm was sent to police head
quarters. and in a few minutes a patrol
wagon filled with policemen arrived at
the door OF the Richelieu.
When the policeman knocked at the
door of room Is a man inside called out
that he could not unlock the door. as his
roommate had gone away with the key
after locking the door from the outside.
Suspecting that all was not right the
policeman ordered Proprietor Dye to open
the door with a pass key. Inside, the
ledger was found with an acquaintance
who had INDUCED too freely and whose
shores probably had sounded like grOans
