was used generally. the management of
the local house took it to mean particu-
larly their place of amusement

years of age in the event of a disagree
ment between the father and mother have
a right to choose between the parents.
Iona Parsons, aged 10. was called and
asked to designate her choice. She is a
remarkably pretty girl. as are the other
girls in the family, and her eyes were
filled with tears as she answered:
Il will stay by my father"
Emily Parsons was next called. She is
u years old.
Emily, which parent do you desire to
live with"
II want to live with my mother" was
her response and she left the stand crying.
Isabella Parsons. sthe youngest, aged IL.
was asked the same question
Il choose my mamma" she replied.
The family was then judicially broken
up and the father with the eldest daugh-
ter went his way, while the mother took
the two youngest with her.

relatives, was in charge of the place.

it impossible to check the stampede when
it started. They seized all of the gam
bling paraphernalia and about $500 in
money.

The appearance of the police created
tremendous excitement in Chinatown, and
the yellow population scattered in all di-
rections with the news of what was 60

ed were found empty.
The police also raided two alleged OPT
um joints in the American house in Com

and one a negro. They were Noah CAD

the other place, many of the players es-
capped.
Sing Lee was arrested. with Wong
Lung. Hee Sing tChinese), G.. Dangio

nese promptly appeared at police head
quarters and bailed out the Chinese gam

bling be stopped in Salt Lake. Keepers
of white gambling houses who were har
aSSed by the police complained that the
Chinatown resorts were allowed to run

Governor Cutler is in favor of having
Lincom's birthday a holiday in Utah.
He said yesterday that he would use
his influence with the next legislature
to have a law to that effect passed.
The matter was brought to the gov
ernor's attention by letters he received
from nine school children asking that
he issue a proclamation declaring the
day a holiday. He had no authority to
do this under the law, but declares
himself in favor of a state law on the
subject About half the states have
declared it a holiday.

EIGHTEEN TRAINS A DAY.
Temporary Track Has Been Made
Around the Landslide i'm
Canyon.

Temporary tracks having been
constructed around the landslides in
the Yakima canyon, traffic was
opened again on the Northern Pacific
main line Friday, and during the
first twentyfour hours eighteen
through trains pulled in and out of
the city Five of these had been
stalled at North Yakima, seven at
Ellensburg and the others we're the
regular scheduled trains of the day.
The traffic established a record for
through train travel in North
Yakima.
Hundreds of men will be en-
ployed at the landslide for many
days to come removing the dirt and
debris, which it was impossible TO
clear away quickly But this will
not impede traffic on the road. IS
the temporary track has been well
constructed and will stand all sorts
of use until the old roadbed can be
uncovered.
The delay of traffic on the road
was for period of slightly over IL
hours, traffic being resumed at about
$3.50 O'Clock on Friday morning,
when the first train from the east
was ordered to proceed through the
canyon.
Trains brought the congested mail
of the Puget sound cities, and this
situation kept many Yakima bust
ness men quite busy during the day
clearing up loads of accumulated
affairs.

FILES INFORMATION
CHARLES EDWARD MUST
FACE SERIOUS CHARGE
Prosecuting Attorney Wcndc Charges
Him with Assault with
Deadly Weapon"

Charles Edwards, the man charged
with stabbing fellow workman
named King at Tieton Camp No. 1,
now faces a serious charge in the
superior court, Prosecuting Attorney
Wende having filed the information
against him Tuesday. The charge is
assault with a deadly weapon with
intent to do great bodily injury"
The information filing was the last
official act of the prosecuting attor-
ney before leaving for a long vaca-
ton trip through the east. During
the past week he has been able to
clean up practically all of the work
of the office, with the exception of a
case resulting from Toppenish
stabbing, here the victim was not
we'll enough to appear in court. This
leaves Attorney Taylor, deputy pros
ecuting attorney, with a practically
clean slate, and he will only have the
handling of new troubles that arise
