RECEPTION FOR LUCAS.
Was Not Social AFFAIR. But Merely
An Official Act.

To be met while emerging from a prl-
son door might be n Joyful happening
under sonic circumstances to pris-
onar who had served his time, but not
so to Thomas j. Lucas as he stepped
forth a free man this morning from
the Utah state prison. The hand that
was extended was a welcoming one, but
not in the sense that could be appre-
clatad by the ex-convict.
At the portal of the warden's office
as Lucas was taking his leave was j.
j. Murphy. deputy sheriff of Weber
county, and scarcely had Lucas taken
one step outside before he was again a
prisoner. While not surprised at the
sudden turn of affairs, the man did not
by any means take In the situation
complacently, and he had hard things
to say of the law and Of its minions.
Ten months ago Lucas was sent from
the Second district to serve a term
for burglary, and over him are hang
ing three other counts of a similar char.
acter. He was taken by officer Murphy
to the county jail and at IL o'clock a
train was boarded for Ogden.

city council has any power to police
the Salt Lake street car system to the

DALY'S EXPLANATIONS.
81 have worked on this ordinance for
two weeks explained Asst City Atty.
DAILY this morning, land believe It will
fully fit the case. The franchise Is

pletely asserted that has kept people
from fling suits for the price of ride

SOME VERY ODD RULES.
Transfer Regulations Work Hardship
On Workmen in Changing Cars.
Editor Deseret News:

Editor Deseret News:
Salt Lake City, May rs. 190s.-There
seems to be considerable dissatisfaction
with the peculiarities of the rules of the
street car company relating TO trans
fers. l wish to call attention to n rule
recently enforced requiring transfers to
be made at special points. For in
stance. il party coming up State
street wishes to take car west of
Main street. he must go north as far a
First or Second South before he can
transfer to the westhound car This
works hardship to many of the men
working at the shops on the west side
of the city. Until recently the men
coming north on State street would
leave that car at Seventh South, walk
two blocks and take the Poplar Grove
car, all within their transfer time and
no damage to the company, but a saw
ing of from 10 to 20 minutes in their
journey besides which the company
now haul them 10 to IL blocks each time
more than they had to when the trans
fer was allowed. The absurdity of
such a rule Is apparent from the mere
statement of 1t Friction may occur in
all business and consequently trouble,
but there is no necessity for any one to
put UP hunt for trouble. In fact, !
take it, and the people generally take it,
that some one connected with the COM
pany has thought out a scheme by
which to obtain for the company two
fares for one ride. But employers of
men ought to know that If they en-
courage them to rob the public. the
employees are liable TO make use of that
schooling in robbing their employers,
too.
We were getting along fairly we'll
with the previous company with trans
fers good for one half hour, although /
prefer using my transfers in as short
n time as possible, and there was not
such multiplication of rules and re-
quirements between the car employees
and the public.
