Produces Contract Between
City and Bell Company
Dated May |, 1904.
PHONES IN LIEU OF LICENSE
Explains to Committee That the Cor
poration Has Perpetual Fran
chise Granted VIM. Jennings.

Manager ID. S. Murray of the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company ap-
peared before the license committee OF
the city council last evening. and asked
that the proposed license against that
company be not enforced.
Mr.. Murray had two reasons to ad-
vance as to why the Rocky Mountain
Bell should not be compelled to pay to
the city something like $4,000 for the
privilege of doing business, the first Of
these reasons being that the ordnance
IN so far as IL affects telephone compa-
mes, Is illegal. Cause number two was
10 the effect that the municipality is
receiving the free use of 40 telephones,
which If paid for would bring to the
company S3.120.
SHOWN A CONTRACT.
The committee was shown II contract
entered into between the city and the
Bell company May l. 1904, stipulating
that the free use of 40 Instruments by
the city should stand in lieu of H.
cense, 1t was explained by MIR. Murray
that the agreement had tacitly been
continued in force up TO the present
time.
AS to the charge that the Rocky
Mountain Bell has no franchise or char
ter, Manager Murray explained that the
company holds, as successor, n perpet-
ual franchise granted to William Jen-
nings and others in 1873, and that its
underground system is covered by a
franchise granted in 1895. 1t was stated
by Mr.. Murray that his company has
not realized any profits in Salt Lake
City for period of 10 years The mat
ter of the enforcement of the license
will not be pressed until an opinion is
received from the city attorney, to
whom 1t has been referred

HELPLEsSNESS OF MAYOR.

The helplessness of Mayor Bransford
TO successfully oppose the machine
within his party, and the disregard of
the general welfare shown when this
machines schemes are involved, is well
illustrated by the statement of Coun-
Gilman Fernstrom. given below:
Mayor Bransford left for San Fran
cisco some time ago for the purpose
OF finding out why our fire insurance
rate was not lowered When he came
back he stated to me that he had been
promised a 25 per cent reduction, pro-
vided the fire department would be re-
organized. He said that he would
bring the matter before the council
and that as far as he was concerned
he was willing to have the department
reorganized, and to return to the office
of chief, former Chief William II. BY
water. Mr., Bywater later said to me
that he had been approached by Mayor
BrAnsford, who had asked him If he
would accept the position of chief Of
the fire department.

oAMERICANo CAUCUS.

brought up in an American caucus,
and in this caucus this offer. on the
conditions named by the fire insur-
ance board was fatty rejected. That
was my reason for making the charge
in the city council that the American
party stands responsible for the fact
that the people are paying 20 per cent
more than they would have to il the
American persuaders had left Mayor
Bransford alone, free to perform the
duties of his office"
These facts bring the fire department
matter down to a definite basis. The
only question is whether this city Is to
be governed by the men elected by
the citizens. or the gang that has
usurped dlctatorial powers.

ROWDY BASEBALL HAS SENT
NEWARK INTO LEAGUE CELLAR

Newark the Tribune can find where
the other clubs did worse.
This paper has done more to in
citing riot In Newark and giving the
Ohio State league a black eye thar
any other in the circuit. 1t has ad-
voclted rowdy ball and Is desirous
|of having Newark win no matter
what happens.
Were there one drop of the blood OF
a sportsman in the carcas of the
American Tribune writer or In those
who control the papers policies, such
a condition could not exist and
there would be less trouble at New
ark. It Is certain that all the fans
at Newark do not want to see that
club win by other than fair and
square means and unless rowdyism is
eliminated there 1t Is certain that
THE gstme will not draw well
among the fair minded citizens and
the base ball company will be the
loser
The principle trouble has been
caused at Newark over the showing OF
that club Newark people expect
the Molders to start out ON top and
never to be headed While the club
has batted as hard as any I'm the

From Newark there has been sent
to President Quinn story of the bad
language used at Newark by the Ma
rion players. No report of such Ian.
guage was made by the umpire. II
the jumps had made such a report
Newark would have suffered far moro
than Marion.
There Is one thing certain, Presi-
dent Quinn will not stand for the
rowdy tactics OF the Molders and
Perryhill must reform or he will be
out of the game all season. Led by
the manager Newark fans and players
are the worst In the league. Every
umpire who does not give Newark
all of the best of 1t is threatened vi
a ducking in the canal which Is,
unfortunately, near the park. A bath
in the canal might help some of the
Newark rufflans, who have been
ing their city black eye over the
state. It's the one best bet that .he
canal would be polluted thereafter.
There Is not more unfair paper
in the state than the Newark Amer
lean Tribune. Doubtless there have
been occasions at Newark where the
home team was not entirely In the
wrong. but has this alleged news.

crew. Al Wilmot who won his game
from Springfield here was sent to
the rubber by Manager o'Day.
Springfield had little trouble find
Ing Wilmot and in the second frame
got one over. Two more were added
in the next and in the fourth one
more came in. Errors contributed ~
a measure but the sharp hitting of
the Orphans helped lot. There wle
nothing doing in the fifth but the
sixth proved Wilmot's undoing. With
one down in the round Wilmot was
lifted and Lucas sent in. Jimmy
pulled out of the bad mess as best
he could and when IL was all over
Springfield had four more. One more
was added in the eighth.
Marion did not count until the
fourth when one run came over. In
the next hard hitting D.ggers solved
everything that Bailey had and two
more came in. Doyle, Ransiclx's
premier HEAVIER. replaced Bailey in
the next. There was nothing doing
then until the ninth when the Diggers
clouted the ball again, but the rally
was stopped after two had scored

TEMPORARY SLUMP SHOULD NOT
DISCOURAGE MARION RANDOM

That the fans OF Marion are dis
|couraged by the four successive de.
feats administered to the Diggers, goes
without saying and there are many
who wonder whether last season. S
performance will be repeated.
Things are not brelking well for
the D!ggers and though they have
outbatted and outplayed their oppon-
ents in two OF the four games played
errors at critical moments have given
the opponents enough to win while
Marion has not been able to profit
sufficiently by the misplays of the
others.
The contest that Burk lost should
have come Allronward. In that
game, 1t was Wolfe's bad error that
let THE contest that was already won
slip away. In the first game OF the
Lancaster series a hit at the right
time would have given Marion the
game while an error or two allowed
the Ianks to get more than they
should have had. There was not a
chance in the world for Marion tc
win the second game of the Lam
caster series.
Yesterdays game was a slugging
match in which Springfield had all
the best OF Marion, though our boys
made enough hits and enough runs
resulted from those hits to win many
