there should be a l-mill assessment
to cover the bounty
He estimates that there are over
500 cougars in the state. 4 half
thousand of these predatory cats get
away with more deer than all the
hunters in the state. he says. From
his experience with them he estl-
mates that the cougars will average
one deer a week for food Figuring
further, he shows that in a year the
500 cougars will kill at least 26 900
deer In a twelvemonth. The amount
seems unusually large. but other pl-

EIGHT PAGES.

IN the trial Of a suit for divorce
brought by Nash on the ground OF
desertlon.
When the case was called the court
room was filled with deaf mutes, who
during the testimony kept their fin
gers going constantly, exchanging
compliments by sign language. The
shufflng OF their feet In moving
about while they were excited caused
an interruption, and the court order
ed the mute conversation stopped.
Nash on the stand said that one
day he bought some pigs feet, and
before going to work told his wife TO
scald them and remove the bristles.
and also TO remove the toes before
boiling them. When he returned for
dinner he testified that the pigs feet
were ready but they had been boiled
with the bristles and toes on. This
made him very angry and a wordy
war by signs followed. The next day
his wife left him, he says.
Nash also testified that his wife
had a hot temper, and the way she
berated him on her fingers was some
thing awful While he was telling
by sign through an interpreter, OF

PARK HOLDUP
CALLED FAKE
YELLOWSTONE BANDIT WAS
MERE PICTURE PERFORMER
New York Company Declares IL Was
Only Game and Is Now Showing
Films of the Spectacular EvcR-
Opinions Differ About IL.

Was the Yellowstone park holdup
really the work OF a bold, bad man
seeking wealth at the point OF a gun.
or was 1t a cleverely devised scheme
by an enterprising moving picture
company?
There was such an element OF the
realism in the holdup in Yellowstone
park last month. when II stages were
held up. by a lone hlghwayman and
the occupants robbed that there has
not been much disposition TO doubt
that the bandit was a real, dyed-in-
the-wool bad man. There was some
talk Immediately after the holdup.
owing to the many realistic pictures
shown in the moving pictures, that
some were led to believe that this,
too, might have been a moving pic
ture scheme.
But the stories of returning vic
tins soon dispelled all thought Of this
rather novel scheme Of getting re-
markable films and at the same time
plenty OF advertising through the
newspapers OF the country.
BE that as it may there has arrived
/ in Salt Lake from the east a set OF
films of "The Great Yellowstone
| Park Holdup," which was shown at
the Majestic theater. according to
dispatches from that city. The films
are put out by the Kalem company
of New York. who allege that the
Yellowstone robbery was a little
stunt Of their own and that It was
done solely for the purpose Of having
a set Of moving picture films that
would startle the country
II is known that these moving pic
ture concerns have employed at all
times a large company" which trav-
els about the country with the man
with the camera, and It is possible
that they filled the stage coaches in
the park with men and women en-
ployed by the company for the pur-
pose Then AT theright moment. In
a position where the camera man
could photograph the proceedings, the
bold bandit stepped to the side OF the
i'dNf ild4ltA tllt NbdNutS anu IbUu'l
the members Of the company. Press
dispatches announced the fact that
many Of those in the coaches were
not molested by the bandit. and those
who bend to this theory Of the rob-
berry point out that the persons who
were not asked to "come over" were
not members of the company
The chief point which has caused
the doubtful ones to hesitate is the
fact that the United States govern
ment would hardly permit the mimic
holdup or any other kind in the na-
tional park II will probably be
known in a few days from govern
ment officials whether this was per-
mltted. But the moving picture con-
cern claims to have pictures of the
"holdup."

MErHoD1sTs AND ADJUSTMENTS.

A S SOON as it became known that the adj
L dress of the Methodist Episcopal bishops
TO the conference at Baltimore contained rec
ommendation altering the position OF the churcn
as TO "worldly amusements protests began TO
come in According to reports from the confer
ence. it is bv no means sure that the recommended
ton of the bishops on this point will be adopted
by the conference Indeed, despatch from Bal
tmore says that the committee to which was re-
ferred the address will likely report in favor OF
sustaining the amusement clause of the discipline
as it now stands
Those whe are sending the protests to Bati-
more evidently interpret the proposal of the
bishops as letting down Of the bars" And 1t
will certainly be interpreted by most persons,
despite the caution of the bishops who say the
historic position of the church is not to be aban-
doned Under Gle recommendation of the bish-
ops the amusements would become a question OF
individual conscience with each church member,
which in effect means that if the member believes
it right to dance he will do So Many young
Methodists, especially in the larger cities, would
certainly think it right to dance and go to the
theatre and engage in other worldly pleasures
if the church left the matter to their judgment.
The recommendation of the bishops will have
TO pass the fire of the committee and then OF the
open conference. Judging from the applause
which greeted the recommendation when read, it
will have substantial support in open conference,
but the contest on the question will be a lively
one. The church will probably show a wide de
vision.
Rather surprising is it that the recommendation
TO modify the discipline should have come from
the bishops. 1t is commonly supposed that the
bishops of this of any other church, are the
most conservative, that they stick for things as
they are, and that innovations must come from

LABOR UNION PROBLEM.

HE labor unions of the United States are
- facing a serious crisis Throughout the
country agitation has started against them
This national movement will have more money
behind it, more of the sinews of war, than the
unions could hope to raise as a defence fund.
Many employers condemn the unions Other
employers are Indifferent. To them it makes no
difference whether their men are organized or
not Still another set of employers are favorable
to the unions, but these are probably in a minor
ity.
The fight against the unions, however, is not of
recent birth. 1t has long existed, but never save
IN the earlier days, when the unions first asserted
themselves and when as in England, they were
forced to battle against the courts has the fight
been so determined as it now promises to be-
No matter how strong this anti-unon agitation
may develop, it is not likely to cripple the unions
permanently. The unions, as they exist to-day,
are creatures of modern industrial development
People may like the unions or dislike them, but
they are not going to be able to crush them out
even if they desired to do so. The sooner this
TACT IS recognized, that the unions, sometimes
strong and at other times weak, are here to stav

labor would speak through many individual

pact capital arrayed against disorganized, inco-
herent, struggling, competitive labor Where
the advantage would rest is clear. With one side
more or less perfectly organized it is inevitable
that lie other side should organize, although the
organization Of labor is necessarily defective and
incomplete. This is the logic that must be rec
ognized in the conflict against labor unions that
IS becoming more or less general.
