DIR. WOOD TURNED
DOWN BY HOUSE
Recommendation of Army Fa-
vorite Failed to Secure
a Single Vote.

Washington, May "a lively. debate
was kept up all day today in the house
on the sundry civil appropriation bill. Re
peated efforts were made by Messrs.
Gaines (Tenn) and CLANCY Und.l, sup
ported by many other members to pro-
cure an appropriation for an investiga-
ton looking to increased safety in min
ing and they had about got Chairman
TaWney to the point where he would con-
sent to an appropriation of $4,000 when
Mr. Underwood of Alaska objected and
the proposition, for the time at least,
was dropped.
A provision in the bill for the purchase
of oyer 5000 acres of land as an addi-
ton TO Fort Mckinley. Philippine islands,
based on a recommendation by General
Leonard Wood. excited severe criticism
of that officer by Messrs. Fitzgerald
IN. W and Butler (Pa.). the former con-
tinually referring to him as 'Dr. Wood.
The provision on motion of Mr.. Hay OF
Virginia, was stricken out by unanimous
vote.
The additions to the bill today were
100000 for the military prison at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan, and $500 for an ad-
dition to Fort Oglethorpe, Ga, or tota
increase to date of 81, 241 600.
The three remaining hours of the ses-
sion were taken up almost entirely by
a discussion Of roll calls, caused by {
refusal of the house to take recess
at : o'clock as a result of q Joke on the
part of some Republicans to hold the
Democrats in the house until the time
the Republican caucus was scheduled to
be held. In this they were successful, the
house finally, at 7:47 p. m, recessing un-
til IL: 55 a. m. tomorrow.

Provo, May Sin the heat of the
strife over the selection of the
cite for the Provo union railroad
passenger depot Judge John E..
Booth of the district court of Utah coun-
ty has stirred up a scandal which is still
agitating Provo by going to Councilman
Andrew Knudson and striving TO influ-
ence the councilman in favor of one of
the depot factions, two days before is
suing an injunction restraining the Provo
city council from acting upon the Ordl-
nance granting the depot franchise. 1t
is claimed that it was generally known
that the members of the council stood
six to four in favor of granting the fran
chise for depot at Third West street
and there were many stories circulated
in Provo when ii was known that Judge
Booth had approached Councilman Knud-
son on the eve of granting the injunc-
ton
The grumbling grew louder and louder
until steps were taken for calling an in
dsnation meeting to discuss the depot
situation and to expose Judge Booth 8
attitude in the matter Then, all of a
sudden, il was announced that Judge
Booth had decided to ask Judge Morse
of Salt Lake to hear the ar uments in
favor of and against MAXI me injunc-
ton permanent.
Although this meant that there would
be at least a months delay in deciding
whether the Provo city council has the
right to grant the depot franchise. Judge
Booths withdrawal from the case sOOthed
the injured feelings of those who are
advocating the Third West site and the
indignation meeting was not held.
But tongues still Wag and feeling runs
high in Provo.
The dispute over railroad depOts and
depot sites has kept Provo in a stir for
seven years. In the beginning. il is said,
the Rio Grande railroad and what is now
the Salt Lake Route were unable to come
to an understanding concerning the dc
pot question and at last. when the roads
reached an agreement mutually satisfac-
tory a storm was stirred over the choos-
ing of a site.

Still Uses Cracker Boxes.

The result has been that Provo sill
uses the cracker box stations which
were built years ago when the city WAS
considerably less populOus and progress
sive than at present.
The beginning of the present situation
in which Judge Booth has figured rather
unpleasantly was early in 1904, when the
Commercial club and the city council OF
Provo appointed committees to wait upon
the railroads and ask that a union pas
senger depot be built. At that time there
was much dissatisfaction C/er the small
and unsightly railroad stations at which
strangers in the city were compelled to
alight and there was criticism OF the
dangerous and inconvenient locations OF
the two stations 1t was maintained that
visitors to Provo were not only given an
unfaVOrable impression by their flTSt
glimpse of the place. Vats were frequently
actually in danger Of physical harm in
the street when freight and passenger
trains were passing through the yards
This was because it was necessary TO
cross two tracks to reach the Rio Grande
depot at Academy avenue and Sixth South
street or to cross two tracks and the
Rio Grande main line to reach the Salt
Lake Route depot in Sixth South street
between Academy avenue and First West
street.
The two lines pass through Provo side
by side and. as the business center of
Provo is north of the Rio Grande tracks
and the Salt Lake Route tracks are to
the SOUTH a union depot was looked upon
as the only satisfactory arrangement for
the comfort and safety of the travelling
public.

debate on the agricultural appropria-

marked with statements as TO the num-
Der OF years the forests in various
parts of the country could last. The

that would require greater wisdom
than that possessed by the sages of old
when it declared that a certain section
would be shOrn of its forests in twenty,
thirty or forty years. They forget, he
said, that timber grows, and he de-
clared that the supply of timber is as
great today as ever in the worlds his

Senator Smoot, taking exception to

of timber was as great as ever. Mr.

"a spirit of prophecy" which he (Mr.
Hepburn did not possess.

Denver, May 5.-The first move to-

made new contracts with a committee
representing the car repairers and in
spectors. The contracts are effective
from May 1 to Dec. 81, 1908, and are
practically the same as the contracts

Foresters Objects of RidieuIe.

Reading from an opinion of the SUI

Hepburn declared that there IS no
hysteria in that branch of the govern

The foresters, he said, are being sup
piled with splendid yachts so they can
speed from one imaginary fire to an
other along the lakes of Idaho.

Many Sign Petition for Depot.

After the committees from the CONNER
ciaI club and the city council had con-
ferred with the railroad officials, a pc
tition for the union station was circu-
lated and received 1.61 signatures In one
day. according TO William NJ. ROylance
at that time mayor of Provo, in let
ter written at the time to {. II. Schlacks,
general manager of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, and to r. z. Wells,
general manager of the Salt Lake Route.
The receipt of the petitions and the let
ter of Mayor Roylance caused the Off
cials of the two railroads to hold con-
ference in Denver at which IT was de-
cided to give Provo the union station.
At this conference the subject of suit
able site was taken up Academy ave
nue. and Third West street were dis
cussed.
The railroad depots were then. as now.
on Academy avenue. The railroad men
decided that Academy avenue was I'M
suitable for the union station because
of the number of sidetracks leading to
manufacturing plants and warehouses in
that vicinity. These sidetracks could not
have been torn up without working hard-
shin upon business men who had invested
large sums of money in the various plants
and as long as the sidetracks existed
at Academy avenue persons gong 10 OF

on the other hand it was decided that

a depot site which Academy avenue did
not possess A depot could be built there
which could be entered from the street
without the crossing of tracks. II was
therefore decided by the railroad ufleials
to build the depot at Third West street.

department that congress had fruit

Mr.. Hepburn retorted:

senator as the representative here of

is under the control of congress. There
is no report from the department, in

Indefinite Statement.

Mr.. Hepburn, reading from docu-
ment concerning expenses of the forest
reserve, criticised statements of eX-
penSes as indefinite.
Senator Smoot, holding a voluminOus
manuscript, said If the senator would
refer to any item of expense he would
give him the details.
Senator Clark of Wyoming said that
congress had sent for the information,
and the department had not sent it. He
wanted to know how the senator from
Utah had become the mouthpiece of the
deDartment.
