tory of the state.

For the first time in the history of
The state, Gov, John c. Cutler today
issued proclamation directing attcn-
tion to the fact that Sept. is Labor
Day and in accordance with the law on
the subject recommends that the day
so designated be observed in that be-
half There is no law requiring the
governor TO make proclamation of La
bor Day. but as it has been customary
with the governors OF other states to
give the observance Of the day the
weight of official sanction and designa-
lton, Gov. Cutler concluded to issue
the proclamation this year. The inn
'portance of the labor element in the
community is thus officially recognized.
land the recommendation made that it's
observance be general. The proclama-
|tiOp follows:
Whereas, The Legislature of the
State of Utah has designated the first
Monday of September In each year as
IA legal holiday, to be known as Labor
DAY; and
Whereas, 1t is fitting that official
be given this day because
.of the importance of labor in our social
economy; now
Therefore. |, John G. Cutler, COVER
non of the State of Utah, do hereby di
rect the attention of the public to Mon
gay, sept. {, loOS, Whlcn Is LABOR LAY,
and legal holiday throughout the
state. And l urge that all residents
Of the state give proper recognition to
the cause of labor by suspending bust
ness and making full observance of the
day.
Labor creates our wealth and secures
TO US prosperity. The working man and
woman must always be the safeguard
Of our material Independence, the
source Of public and private wealth. 1t
Is therefore most appropriate that on
the one yearly holiday given to the toll
en- IN honor of the cause of labor, public
proclamation of the day be made. and
Its proper observance urged.

He's Not Attempting to In
tmidate by Threats.
RESORT WILL DEFY THE LAW
Nobody Denies Whisky is sold on sab
bath--Nlayor Stoy Has Reached
No Decision.

Seaglrt, y. J. Aug 9S--Gov. Fort
made the following statement today
concerning his reclamation of yester-
day and the defiance of Atlantic City
that he dare not call out the militia to
enforce the Bishops law:
II will stand on my proclamation
unequvocally. | mean every word.
The people will learn that 1 am not
attempting to ntimidate by threats"
Through a member of Gov. Forts
summer cabinet II was learned today
that before Issuing his proclamation
yesterday he sounded the attitude of
various leaders in the legislature and
received assurances that If he called
a special session the legislature would
authorize him to enforce the law i'll
Atlantic City even 10 the necessity of
patrolling the resort with troops and
placing II under martial law.
But it is said by the same authority
that the governor did not receive the
same assurances ON his desire to OBJ
tain authority for removal OF officials
who fail to perform their duty. He has
asked the Legislature for this power ia
the past and it has been denied.
AdVices have reached the governor
that on next sunday Atlantic city Will
continue it's defiance and will be wide
open as in the past In such a case
there can be no doubt that a call for a
specai session OF the legislature viii
follow.

Atlantic city, n. j.. Aug. 2S.-The eX-
traordinary situation that has develop
ed as result of Gov. Forts prOclama
ton in which he threatens to use the
power of the state militia to enforce

ton of Atlantic county grand jury in
deliberately ignoring the instructions of
the court by refusing to return indict-
ments against persons accused OF vio-
lating the excise laws. continued to be
almost the sole topic of conversation
today.
Mayor Stoy when asked today if he
would order liquor sellers to close on
Sunday, said lie had not yet reached
| Il decision.
Nobody denies that liquor is sold on
| Sunday. On this point Asst. Atty. Gen

| attitude of the grand jurors, says;
Gov. Fort has decided that law
| breaking in this city must cease, ana
| he VIII find means to carry out his de-
! clsion. Atlantic City cannot defy the

A A'MURDfR MYSTERY
 PARTIALLY S0lWD
The Dead Body of Ore of Two Un- known Men Who Disappeared From FairLank

There is partial solution of a mys- tery which has been disturbing the res idents of Fairbank for several months One day last fail a man who was not recognized by any who saw him met an incoming passenger train at that station and was joined by passenger who alighted from the train.
 They immediately left in the direc- tion of the Whetstone mountains and though neither of them spoke of their business it was surmised that they had gone to look at a mine. A short time after that the buggy and horse were found. There were blood stains on the buggy and evidences of furious strug- gle having taken palce in the vehicle Neither of the two men were ever af- ter seen in that part of the country.
 But the Tombstone Prospector prints the following which is perhaps the see ond chapter of a tragedy:
 Yesterday Robert Renter was in the city and reported the finding of the body of a man near the Santa Cr6z county line From appearance of the deceased it is thought he had been dead a month or more and it is now believed to be none other than the passenger who arrived on the fated day at Fairbank. The only clew to such a theory is the clothes found upon the dead man. The Srewsomc discovery was also made that the man was murdered since his skull was frac- tured from behind.
 ''TEe authorities at Nogales were notified and a>coroner's jury was sum- ! moned to investigate the case. It is hoped some clew may be found to learn of the identity of the murdered man and lead to the arrest of his assailant.'
