ASKS WRIT OF MANDATE.
Saloon License of Edward Walton
Vetoed by Ogden Mayor.

The application for a writ of mandate.
wherein Edward Walton asks the court to
compel the mayor and city council OF
Ogden to grant him license for the sale
of liquors in the city. was filed with the
county clerk yesterday. The hearing on
the application is set for October 90 at
which time the defendants Alexander
Brewer. mayor, and Z. T Brown re-
CorGer. will be called upon to show cause
why the writ should not issue.
Some time ago Walton applied to the
city council for a retail LIQUOR license,
and. after great deal of wrangling the
council granted il. but il was later vetoed
by the mayor and failed of passage over
his veto. This was done in view of a
policy already decided upon by the mayor
to reduce the number of liquor dispensa-
ries in the city. and the decision of the
court will be watched with interest as
involving the question of the right of a
city council TO refuse TO grant a license
for the sale of liquor in the absence of
any charge against the applicant.

his story to an Interpreter yesterday
morning and removed all fears of foul
play. He stated that he was ousted from
his seat by two drunken men, who en-
tered the car, and. fearing that they
meant to harm him. he rushed to the plat
form, but was jostled by some one and
jumped off the train and ran He ad-
mitted that man called to him 20 come
back but that he thought they wanted to
kill him and he refused This bears out
the story of the trainmen to the letter
The man also told the interpreter that

STOCK P
SCORE CARRIERS

DeHvec. Jam. 23.-Presidcnt McKen
Eie's annual address at h meeting of
the American Live Stock association
was devoted largely to criticism of the
treatment of stockmen by the railroads.
He charged the railroads had broken
faith with shippers of livestock by TAX
ing selfish advantage Of the change In
hours of transit law" which through
the efforts OF the American Live Stock
association was increased from "a to
Sc hours and the maximum time during
which live stock could be kept in cars'
without being unloaded for feed, water
and rest.
He aid the railroads instead of in
creasing their speed as promised, con-
sumed 36 hours in running between
feeding stations which delayed the ar
rival OF shipments at the points of
consignment, With consequent great
loss to the shipper. He favored the
passage of n law by which the rail-
roads could be punished for failing to
give reasonable speed to live stock in
transit and suggested that the Inter-
state Commerce commission should be
given power to enforce such a law.

along as a good thing of the most or

Exactly how it is working has not

h islands; for getting just as many
people as possible to sign the pledge"
In order to get this done instructions
have been sent to inaugurate a re-
ivival wave and induce everybody pos

dope habit.
On March / the new law against i'm
porting opium into the islands will be-
come effective. Many of the natives
and a large proportion Of the large
Chinese population. think they really
must have it. The authorities realized
the danger of shutting off the supply
all at once unless the people were in a
measure reconciled to it. Smuggling.
disturbances, frauds Of all kinds, would
be certain to result.
T. So 1t was decided to anticipate
these difficulties by starting a moral
