MAY NOW USE CARS
Telegraph and Traction Companies
Reach Settlement of Troublesome
Problem Conduits In 60 Days.

The Western Union Telegraph com
pany and the utah Light & Railway
company have adjusted matters so
that tho running of the new cars over
any lines in the city may be begun
at once. This result was accomplish
cd after trial run over the city this
morning with one OF the big cars.
aboard being Manager A. w. Long Of
the Western Union company's local
office and Supt. $. Il. Leonard and O..
l.. Mexican of Denver, of the con-
struction department of the company.
and Messrs. Honnold, Hunt, Scott ard
Wells of the Utah Light & Railway
company.
The trip demonstrated the fact
that the cars may run over TIE
lines and around curves in the bust
LESS section with a clearance of four
inches- This, under ordinary condi-
lions, 1t is believed, would be sufti-
oient. but in the event or unfavorable
conditions, the company desires at
least a clearance of six inches. To
give this amount of leeway temporar-
lily, the telegraph company has agreed
to shave four inches from portions
o. its poles, and TO remove the poles
at South Temple and Main streets.
This will remove all conditions that
mitigated against the convenient
passage of the cars over the lines. in
the heart OF the city. At South Tenn
pie and Main streets, where two poles
are to be removed, the telegraph line
viii be transferred TO the electric light
poles of the Utah Light a. Railway
company until the underground con-
duits are put into commission. Mr..
Long of the Western Union company,
stated this morning that within about
two months all poles viii be removed.
tho transfer of the cables OF the COM
pany TO be effected in the meantime
The Western Union pole lines run
from South Temple street south on
Main to Third South. At Third South
and at South Temple the lines then

tinct. The difference could hardly be
noticed unless attention was called to
IL, however.
Don't you think It strange that sa-
looms, paying high licenses. high wages
and under other big expenses. should
have but one gold piece apiece" asked
Mr. Bailey. The witness said he had
told what he had learned from the
bartender and while the question called
for a conclusion, there was none forth
coming.
when searched ut the station the
government men say Gregory had si1
ive-dollar gold pieces ON him; one 10
dollar piece and other money.
NOT ORE OUTFIT.
Mr. Harms, chemist, was called,
and told OF accompanying the govern
ment men to Gregory's attic Mr.
Harms most vital contribution to tho
evidence was that all indications point
cd to the fact that the laboratory in
the attic was used for sweating"
money, as there was nothing 60 show
1t was being used as an experimental
laboratory or assay office. While the
chemicals could be used on ores, the
outfit was not complete for the hanll-
ing of ores. Mr.. Harms testimony on
methods of extracting gold from ores
and metals was interesting and closely
followed by all. He told of the three
methods used to get the gold from
acid solutions later on in the process.
These are ca precipitation, CD elec-
trolosis, CD evaporation. There We're
several trays with acid solutions in
them, and one crucible contained
what appeared to be a gold bullion.
A muffle was found in the attic, but
no furnace was located. A bag Of
litharge was among the things scat
tered about the rough little laboratory
TWELVE GRAINS SHY.
Chas. C. Crlsmon was called and tes-
titled to having weighed the two 1--WE
dollar pieces brought TO the office by
the government men. The standard
weight OF a five dollar piece is ~
grs. while these weighed but III and
119 grs. each. While Mr.. Crismon was
testifying Atty. Bailey asked him II it
wasn't most reasonable TO presume the
dullness and smOothness of the coins
slant contact with hands, cloth, etc.
Mr.. Crismon answered in the a1firma-
tive, but said he couldn't understand
why these gold coins wore on one side
and showed no sign of usage on the
other. The defense left this line of
questioning quickly.
Gregory was dressed in a brown suit
and kept on his overcoat during the
forenoon. He chews his fingers ner
vously and is anything but at ease. His
countenance is already showing the
effects OF the strain under which he
is now PLACID. Just what witnesses the
defense will call could not be learned
today

THE DEAD.
Berel Weinstein.
His wife Anna and their 1-year-old
son.
They were suffocated and burned in
their apartments on the fifth floor. That
more lives were not lost was largely
due to the prompt action of three po-
licemen who. seeing flames in the hall.
rushed through the building and
aroused the members of IS sleeping
families. BY that time the stairs were
a mass Of flames and the only means
OF exit was by the fire escapes. In their
mad attempt to escape from the smoke
and flames scores of scantily clad men,
women and children crowded the mar
row iron platforms and ladders until
they became wedged in solid masses on
the fire escapes. unable to extricate

the situation when the firemen arrived
and began to run up ladders to take
the panic-stricken fugitives from their
perilous position.
SAVING LIVES.
The work moved forward very slowly,
however. as in some instances the COM
bined efforts of half a dozen fireman
was required to drag O. woman or child
from the tightly packed platforms. In
the meantime the flames had been con-
stantly spreading and the terror among
the tenants had carried them past the
point of self restraint. While firemen
on ladders and others on the ground
were calling out to them that there was
no danger and that help soon would
reach them. they began, one by one,
to jump from the windows. David
Miller sprang from a fourth story VIM
dow and sustained injuries which prob
ably will cause death. Rosie Gallmann,
fannie Berzon and Byman Mettle-
mann who jumped from windows on
the Iecond and third floors, have brok-
en-. limbs and We're taken to hospitals.
Several others were internally in
jured. Many others who sustained
more or less serious bruises refused to
go to hospitals.
Weinstein and his wife and baby
were found lying dead In their rooms on
the top floor of the burning building
after the flames had been extinguished.
Apparently they had been overcome by
smoke while trying to reach the blaz-
Ing stairway.
The building was damaged to the ex-
tent OF about $4,000
