WERE ONLY REHEARSlNG.
Newspaper Writers Are Arrested by
Police for Disturbing Peace.

On complaint of a number of Mob Hill
residents, a quintette of local newspaper
men were placed under arrest early yes
terday morning for disturbing the peace.
The men were all employed on morning
newspapers. and influence was brought to
bear in time to prevent famine of news,
and the whole outfit was released without
going into court. Devotion to the Press
club show which is billed for the Grand
opera house May l. led up TO the whole
trouble, and the matter is not yet set
tied.
After the boys had turned in their
copy for the night, they adjourned to the
to a well-arranged plan. they met a COM
mittee of prominent citizens. All of the
newspaper men had laid claim to the part
of o. Gctt Sheckles in the Press club show
and they had devised upon this means of
deciding who should take the part The
committee was to sit as judges while the
others rehearsed their parts. All showed
remarkable oratorical ability and demon
strated their fitness for the stage. So
nearly alike was the work that the men,
bers of the committee Wrangled among
themselves and it was this mix-up that
led to the complaint going into police
headquarters.
Chief Browning was called out of bed
to personally take charge of the case. He
summoned a squad of officers and togeth-
er they sWOOped down on the whole party.
The members of the committee made their
escape but the newspaper men held their
ground. In the excitement the scribes
were taken into custody.
Owing to their fear of arrest the mem
bers of the committee have remained in
secluSiOn and have not as yet reached
an agreement. Until this is brought about
the part will not be assigned.

CRIME COMMON
IN OGDEN NOW
BurglarieS and HoIdupS Occur
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Men
Charged With Crimes.

Burglaries and hold-ups are becoming
nightly occurrences and hardly a night
passes by without some sort of theft or
robbery being reported at police head
quarters. Some of the unemployed COM
ing in and leaving the city each day are
supposed to commit the crimes, and in
many cases the police believe the men are
driven to desperation by being unable to
secure food in any other way.
Burglars pried open the door of the
Newman general merchandise store on
West Twenty-fOurth street, just across
the Weber river, some time Wednesday
night and made away with goods valued
at several hundred dollars.
The living apartments of the proprietor
adjOin the store but no noise was heard
during the night to indicate at what hour
the trick was turned. 1t is evident. how
ever. that considerable time was devoted
to it.
In order to get sacks in which to carry
off the loot. sugar. salt flour and grain
was emptied upon the floor and the bags
then used to pack off the plumber, which
consisted of overalls, hams, bacon, canned
goods, cigars, candies, boots and shoes,
ladies garments and other clothing.
Both the police force and the members
OF the Sherlffs department worked on
the case all of yesterday. but so far have
been unable to secure a clue. This is
the second theft of a similar nature that
party of fifteen unemployed were
held up by masked highwaymen while
they were seated around camp fire west
of the Weber river during Wednesday
night, according to a story related to the
police yesterday by young man named
Cullen, who said he was one of the VIC
tins.
Cullen said he lost a gold watch and a
razor and others lost similar smaller per-
Sonal property. The fifteen men were
seated about a camp fire about II o'clock,
when three masked men suddenly APP
peared on the scene and commanded them
to throw up their hands. Guns were lev
eled at the party and the command was
obeyed. While two of the robbers kept
the crowd covered, the third went through
their pockets.
For the return of the silver service
taken from the residence of Rev. r. NJ.
Cushnahan the other night, a reward of
sf00 has been offered. Descriptions of
the silver have been mailed in all di-
reetions Although the police have no
clue as yet they say they expect to catch
the thieves.

FIGHTING FOR CROSSING.
Bamberger Road Seeking TO Cross
Tracks to Get Into Ogden.

Before Judge Howell in the Second dis
trict court yesterday the case of the Salt
Lake & Ogden Railway company against
the Union Pacific Railroad company was
commenced. The action was brought TO
secure right of way across the Union
Pacific tracks between Thirty-second and
Thirty-third streets, to afford the Bamber-
ger line an entrance into Ogden
After hearing considerable testimony,
the court expressed desire to view the
location and an adjournment was taken
until the court and attorneys could make
a trip there and back. Mr.. Bamberger is
anxious to get his road in operation into
this city by Decoration day, and this is
about the only obstacle in his way.
Mr. Bamberger desires to cross the
Union Pacific tracks on their regular
grade and the Hartman people do not
want to allow this. maintaining that if
ne crosses at all he should do so by an
overhead crossing. Some time ago the
Union Pacific people constructed two adj
ditional tracks at the point in question
one on either side of the double main
line tracks. These additional tracks were
not laid on the same grade as the tracks
in use and at the same time a Waterman
was given a tent and placed on guard, to
give warning in case the Salt Lake &
ogden people attempted to steal a march
and cross unknown to the larger corpOr-
alton Immediately afterward the case
was filed
The case will be resumed at $3.50 o'clock
This morning and should be completed to-
day.

Washington April Ex-senator CIapp

Indian affairs. is now a heap big In
dian chief of the Crow tribe. He was
given a great surprise today by Chief
Plenty Coos and his fellow tribesmen, who
have been witnesses before the Indian
committee for the past three weeks. The
chief marched into the committee room
at the head of the band and through an
interpreter, phlegmatically informed the
senator that the treatment that had been
accorded the Indians was highly appre-
ciated and that an appropriate gift was
due the white chief of the committee.
Chief Plenty Coos then took from one of
his followers a huge war bonnet which
had been the chiefs insignia of rank and
worn by him whenever he went into bat
tie. He said that he was now a man of
peace ana that the bonnet was of less
value to him on the reservation than it
would be to the senator in congress, and
therefore he wanted the senator to take
it.
Senator Clapp was completely flabbeT-
gaSted,' according to his own description
of his emotions. He took the war bonnet
and thanked the chief

OCEAN LINERS COLLIDE.
Both the United States and Monterey
Badly Damaged.

New York. April 1.-two ocean lin
'ers. the Monterey of the Ward line,
bound for Havana, and the Danish
steamer United States of the Scandi-
navian-American line. bound for CO.
penhagen, cOllided in the Rlain ship
channel in lower New York bay to-
night. Both vessels were damaged,
but no lives were lost, and no one, so
far as reported, was injured. The
Monterey had her stern damaged and
several of her bOwplates lOOsened, but
she was able to return to her dock
where her passengers disembarked.
They will be forwarded to Havana by
another steamer, for it is probable she
will have to go into drydOck for re-
pairs.
The United States was more seriously
damaged. A large hole was stove in
her on the starboard side, abaft the
engines, and so threatening was its ma
ture that il was deemed wise to run
her aground on a bank on the chan
nePs edge. There the steamer is rest
ing easily tonight, the weather being
clear and calm.

Helena, Mont. April 16.-The high
water in the Missouri river. north of this
city, caused by the break in the Hauser
Lake Power dam on Tuesday, has reced-

have a soft spot in her heart for Charles
F. Hall. the carpenter who turned thief

lice court informed Assistant City Attor-
ney Rogers that she did not wish to see
Hall severely punished. On recOmmen-
dation of Mr. Rogers, Judge Diehl sent
Hall to the chain gang for ten days.
Hall is the man who attempted TO kill
himself by cutting his throat when first
arrested for stealing small articles from
Mrs. LeProhon's house. When arraigned
in the police court, he promised to return
all that he had taken from the woman.
but when released so that he could search

promise to marry Mrs. LeProhon. When
taken to the police court again, he plead
ed not guilty to the charge against him.

- 80 ne was reached to reduce from
OF capital required to permit national
banks to form voluntary clearing house
associations TO hold commercial paper to
for emergency currency
Reason Given by Bankers.
The reason given by the bankers for de-
5iIIHs inns reductlon was the necessity of
having such associations cover a smaller
section OF the country which thew de-
clared would result in greater facility i'm
the scrutiny of security. The bankers al
so desired TO reduce from six to four Der
cent the initial rate of interest to he
charged, and il is likely that a COMPROMISE
VIII be made on five per cent No en-
couragement was given TO their PROPOSE
ton TO allow the assets of the banks to
be accepted for one-half of the issue of
emergency CURRENCY
The chief differences between the Vree-
land and the Aldrich bills are: The former
permits the use of commercial paper as
well as bonds for half of the emergency
circulation taken out; the commission of
any change in the law in reference to bank
reserves and the omission of the LaFOl-
lette prohibition against the loaning of
money by banks TO institutions, the Off
GERS or directors Of which are Officers or
