FEUO|STS DRAG
MAN FROM HORSE
Members of Greek Catholic
Faction Accused of At
lacking Interpreter.
AFTER NICK BUTK0vICH
CAPTIVE is FREED WHEN MIS-
TAKE is DISCOVERED.

The excitement and bitter feeling at
Bingham between the Greek and
Roman Catholic Austrians shows no
signs OF abatement.
On Friday Mrs. Miers, or Marovich,
wife of the man who shot Mike Popo-
vich on July IL, went to Bingham, ac-
companied by an interpreter, her attor-
ney and deputy sheriff, in order to
dispose of the property belonging to
herself and her husband in that camp.
1t was rumored in Bingham that
Nick Butkovich, leader of the Salt
Lake Austrians, who conducts sa-
loon at III South Third West street,
was to be the interpreter who was to
accompany Mrs. Miers, but ButkoVlch,
who has been repeatedly threatened,
had no intention of going to Bingham,
and another interpreter was secured.
This man claims that as he was rld-
ing up the canyon on horseback he was
stopped by three Greek Catholics, who
forced him to diSmount and started TO
drag him away, believing him to be
Rutkovich Much frightened, he plead
ed with his captOrS to release him, tell
ing them that he was not ButkoVlch-
They refused to release him, however,
until one of their own party could be
summoned who knew him and estab-
lished the fact that he was not the
Salt Lake leader, whose sympathieS are
said to be with the Roman Catholic

RATE ADVANCE PREDICTED
Classifications to Be Revised at Meet
ing of Freight Men in
Colorado.

Reports from Denver state that ad-
vanced freight rates on a number of
classes of merchandise are expected to
result from the meeting of the western
classification committee at Manitou next
sentatiXes of the western railroads will
attempt a general advance, on account of
the attitude of the shippers, II is conSid-
cred almost certain that in some instances
the claSsifications are to be changed in
such way as in reality to mean an in
crease in the rates.
Increased revenue for periShable freight
is one of the subjects on the docket for
discussion. 1t is also proposed to amend
existing rules covering the privilege of
carload rates in such way as to make
them more eXacting on the shipper. 1t
is thought that rules will be adopted re-
quiring freight for carload lots to be de-
livered at one forwarding station in one
working day by one consignee for one con-
signor and destination. except that where
freight is loaded in cars by the consignor
it will be subject to the car service rules
and charges of the forwarding railroad.
Among the most important subjects to
be discussed is that of minimum carload
rates. A proposition has been made
make the minimum weight on freight
rated third class or higher $4,000 pounds.
and on freight rated lower than third
class 5000 pounds.
A rule will also be proposed requiring
petitions for changes in clasSificatiOnS to
be filed forty-five days in advance of ac-
ton, instead of thirty, as at present, eX-
cept by unanimous consent, when the rule
can be waived.
A special train will leave Chicago on
July 20 with traffic officials on board and
they will go to Manitou via Denver and
the Colorado & Southern.

IT WILL Be DRY
TODAY, SAYS PITT
TipplerS, Expecting Drouth,
Lay in Supplies of Wet
Goods.

The biblical injunction to take no
thought for the morrow" was fractured
many times last night by the thirsty
souls who contemplate with horror a
day spent without recourse to the cup
which both cheers and inebriates.
Nearly every male passenger upon the
late cars carried a neatly wrapped
bundle which was handled with loving
care and which TO the initiated made
a noise like three bottles of beer. Most
of the saloons displayed large piacards
informing patrons that nothing would
be sold Sunday. and urging that they
lay in a stock in preparation for the
expected drought.
Chief of Police Tom Pitt announces
that he stands just where he has a.
ways stood on the Sunday closing
question. The ordinance with regard
to Sunday closing is absolutely plain.
and 1 intend to inforce it, said the
chief
When asked if it would be satisfac-
tory for him if the owners of cigar
stands located in saloons would erect
a locked gate between the cigar stand
and the saloon proper. the chief stated
emphatically that it would not.
Saloon cigar stands are put there to
help the sale of liquor" said the chief.
L can't arrest a man for selling cl-
gars, but L can and will arrest any one
who sells liquor on Sunday
The drouth will not be confined to
the city. All the resorts about the city
will close their bars, although they are
outside the jurisdiction of the city. La
COON, which is in Davis county, will be
absolutely dry. The action of the La
COON management is not taken at the
instigation of the Davis county au-
thorities, but is purely voluntary upon
the part of the management. Emigra-
ton canyon will supply no other bev-
erage than that which can be dipped
from the clear mountain stream, and
the crowds which found Saltair a desert
without an oasis last Sunday will find
the resort just as dry today.

BLACK RESOLUTION VETOED
Mayor Suspects Dark Plot Designed
to Discredit Street Super
visor Raleigh.

Mavor John S. Bransford yesterday
vetoed resolution introduced by
Councilman Black and passed by the
council last Thursday evening provid-
ing that no gravel or dirt shall be
dumped on streets for repair purposes
when the streets are already up 10 the
tablished grade.
The resolution was slipped through
quietly and was part of the campaign
of Black and his friends to discredlt
]. T. Raleigh, superintendent OF street
and ultimately have him ousted.
That the carrying out OF the resoiu-
ton would be absolutely detrimental TO
the work of the street department ana
would prevent the repair OF many Oh
the streets of the city was demonstrate
ed to the mayor by Raleigh, who took
him out to see some of the work being
done. In many cases where the streets
are above the established grade 1t has
been necessary to fill in holes ana
otherwise improve them with graVei
and dirt brought in from other places.
AS a result of his Investigations the
mayor decided to veto the resolutloh'

WHY THEY WENT
BACK ON PLEDGES
Three CounciImen Attempt to
Explain Reputation of Prom
ises to Support Devine.
FOUR MAINTAIN SILENCE
MARTIN WAS PERSUADED TO
CHANGE HIS MIND.

Frigid reticence, mingled with traces of
embarrassment, is descriptive of the at
titude of the American members of
the council when asked why they went
back on their pledges and voted against
James Devine for chief of the fire de-
partment.
Only three were willing to express
briefly the reason for their change of
front and four refused to talk
Martin, Black and Stewart were those
willing to divulge the secret. Each had
a different answer.
Il voted against Devine." said l.. d.
Martin, who first suggested Devine's ap-
pointment, because of the unanimous re-
quest of the First ward organiza ton.

have stuck by him if my constituents had
not PERSUADED me to do otherwise. -
Did any of the 'persuaderS' assume
the role of constituents he was asked
They did not. answered the council
man with considerable emphasis.
Il told Lippman and 4. j. Weber just
what / thought of them for putting in

j. J. Stewart of the Fourth ward says
he changed his vote because of misrep-
resentation of facts.
Il was led to believe that the insur-
ance rate swould be reduced if Devine
was chief" he declared. Upon inveSti-
fixed for five years and then l realized
how L had been buncoed."
why did you vote against Devine aft
er agreeing to him?' T. r. Black was
asked
Because he Is not and never Will be
an American was his response.
Did you not know that at the time
you agreed to his appointment
well not as we'll as | know 1t now,
and, besides, a man has right to change
his mind
Did the 'persuaders change your
miE.d?"

G. B. Raybould of the Second ward
when asked the question, said:
Il don't care to say anything
