ed with murder in the first degree for
shooting and killing Charles Staples

Is last, has been continued for the
term and may not come up fer trial

AS a result of District Attorney

POLICE LAWS OF STATES
CANNOT BE lNTERFEREO WITH

Washington, Aug 25.-The two
years sentence of Louis Hlnderstcin,
convicted at Baltimore, in October,
1908, on a charge of barborlng and
maintaining an alien girl for immoral
purposes, was today commuted to ex-
piTe Immediately.
The action was based upon the rec
omendation of Attorney General Wick
ersham. who was moved by a decision
of the supreme court declaring uncon-
stitutional section three of the imml-
grafton act of February 20. 1908. un-
der which Hinderstein was convicted.
The section of the act In question was
declared unconstitutional because IL
interfered with the police laws Of
states and municipalities.
1t was found chat the federal gov
ernment had a right to make a law
excluding aliens imported for immoral
purposes, but that. after once admit
ted, such persons were under the con
troll of local laws.

WANTS ALL THE LAWS ENFORCED

To the Taxpayers OF Ogden: Some
laws are vigorously enforced. others
are etill-boTn upon the statute books.
The former deal almost exclusively
with property. The latter have been
sops to the eternal gullible, the re-
formers. Both kinds take money
from the taxpayers. II legality and
natural law were one We would say
that n chain of laws could not ex-
ceed the strength of the weakeat link.
Since the contrary IS true in law, we
may conclude that the big stick"
has more to do with shaping the law
than nature has.

society. Ditto. the law with two in

New Passenger Tracks Arc to BE Con.
structed and Old Tracks Torn Up
and Reconstructed.

General Superintendent ]. NJ. Davis
OF the Oregon Short Line system is
taking an active interest In pushing
improvement work 10 the Ogden yards
at this time He has had nearly 5000
ties shipped TO ogden for use in con-
structiDg the five new passenger
tracks adjacent to the Union Depot,
and the heavy steel needed Is now en-
route to this city and will be unload
ed on the ground before the grading
has been completed.
In the meantime Assistant Engineer
Darling has a force of men at work
leveling tho ground and grading for
the new tracks and this force is being
Increased as fast as additional mon
and trains can be secured TO engage
In work of that character.
AS soon as the five new tracks have
been completed. they Will be utilized
for passenger trains. and the tracks
now in use win be torn up and built
over again, cement being used be-
tween the different tracks to allow
passengers 10 reach all trains without
wading through dirt and sand
While this work is being pushed
forward. arrangements will be made
to carry out Mr. Kruttschnitt's recent
suggestion TO erect q steel fence COM
pletely around the passenger depot
to protect that structure from in-
vaslon by those who have no actual
business around about or in the de-
pot-cxcept curiosity TO observe tho
moving multitude arriving and leaving
on the sixty odd passenger trains en-
terlng the depot grounds daily. The
erection of a high steel fence on the
west side OF the depot Will also pro-
tect passengers from moving trains
and switch engines and when this has
been completed loafing will be strictly
done away with In the waiting rooms
and no one Will be allowed there ex-
cept those having business.
There will be no sheds erected over
the passenger train tracks this year,
however. but the Improvements map
ped out Immediately around the depot
will enable Depot Master Shields and
his staff TO handle the five or six
thousand passengers arriving and de-
parting daily without the congestion
and danger now apparent to the most
casual observer.

northwest, with headquarters at Seat

have been unnecessarily concerned in
the expedition of what are known as
the Cunningham claims 10 valuable
coal lands In Alaska, and in doing so
acted entirely Independent of the gen
eral officers of the department.
The officials are much incensed over
the report, but they take the position
that, as they are preparing a report
for the President, their lips are seal
ed against any outside discussion of
the subject. This was the attitude
assumed by Commissioner bennett,
who only today arrived from an in

CRIME IN DETAIL.
But Fall to Prove That All Lee and
His Partner Seined In the
Waters of Weber River.

The trial OF All Lee and All Quong.
Cinnamon. charged with fishing with.
out a license, was held in police court
this morning. The testimony showed
that the two cclestials, on the 18th of
this month. entered into the pastime
of seining for fish in the waters of a
small stream bordering the railroad
track, few miles west of Ogden.
They had caught a few Gsh of tho
sucker and carp variety and it was
shown, too. that they had no license
to catch fish, but it could not be PROV
ed that the particulars waters from
which tho fish had been selned were
Weber river waters, as the complaint
alleged they were. Tho failure on the
part of the state was fatal and All
Lee and All Quong were discharged.
