name as Charles Thomas Vail and, ac-
cording to Special Detective Hillhouse, ac-
acknowledging h:saseIf to be the ex-fire chief
of Salt Lake City, was arrested in this
city last night as a suspect, and is being
held here in the city Jail for investisa-

Local police declare that they have no
instructions from the authorities OF Salt

though he is reported to be wanted for
embezzlement in that city, and have wired
Salt Lake for advice upon the matter in
the meantime they are holding Vail When
arrested in a local saloon Vail stated that
he had been in Reno five days and that
he had been among the local fire depart
nent boys and had never made any effort
to secrete himself while here. Aside from
some personal debts in Salt Lake he is
said to have declared that he owes no one

No Charge Against Vail.

Assistant Fire Chief W. I. Fitzgerald
said last night that he knew of no charge
to be brought against former Chief Vail.
He said that while the So. 400 of the fire
mems fund. of which Chief Vail had the
custody. was missing, the act of taking
this money could not be construed into an
offense for which Vail could be held GRIM
inally responsible. The association was
never formally organized nor incorporated
and Vail merely held the money belong
ing to the association by common consent
OF the members of the department and
the taking of the money constituted only a
breach of trust. Chief Fitzgerald said that
Vail would probably be release from GUS

the ministers will meet parliament a its
next session with an important program
of which the budget will be leading fea-
ture, was announced by Premier AsQuith
at a banquet given him at the National
Liberal club by 260 members of his party.
The occasion had been anticipated with
great interest as affording Mr.. Asquith
an opportunity to explain his policy In the
face of the rejection by the house of lords
of Liberal bills.
After justifying the legislative work the
Liberals already had accomplished. Mr..
Asquith invited the party to treat the veto
of the house of lords as the dominating
issue in politics, but he declined to dis
solve parliament. he declared. at the die
tation and caprice of the upper cham

Of an irresponsible chamber, the premier

il would render the Liberal government
subject to a series OF general elections.
The government would therefore choose
its own time for dissolution.

OPEN TO CRITICISM.
Congress Has other Grounds OF Com
plant Against Roosevelt.

Washington, Dec. u.-Attention was
called today to, the fact that the utter
ances of the president in regard to the
action of congress in limiting the use or
tbe secret service force is not the only ac-
ton of the executive that is considered by
the members as objectionable. 1t became
known that the subcommittee OF the com
mittee on appropriations, having in charge
the preparation of the executive leglSla-
tive and judicial appropriation bill. has
been investigating the razing OF the OLD
Pennsylvania depot. that was located on
the mall until the president had II torn
down last summer. That the committee
failed TO expunge its inquiries about this
action from the printed hearings is taken
to indicate the temper of that committee
toward the executive.
