FRUIT EXCHANGE
To BE ORGANIZED
important Gathering Is Being
Held in Quarters of State
Horticultural Society.

The first session of what is expected to
be most important meeting to the inter
ests OF fruit growers in Utah was held
Yesterday afternoon in the room devoted
to the use of the State Horticultural So
ciety in the chamber of commerce. The
meeting IS one arranged for at the recent
annual ga herring Of the State Horticul-
tural society and is for the purpose Of
forming a fruit exchange I'm this state,
somewhat along the lines of the fruit ex-
changes in northern and southern CalifoT-
MIA, for handling the state fruit crop the
coming season. The exchange will be or
sanized to assure the distribution of fruits
on the market so as to avoid gluts- The
principal object is to see that the crop of
one part of the state is so distributed as
not TO compete with the crop of antOher
section and that the general crop of the
state which is shipped out of the state is
uniformly distributed TO outside markets.

Fruit Growers association. who has re

for the proposed exchange here.

Executive Now Gets $4,000 Per Annum and "PCkings,"
Which Brings the Total Amount Up to 1921 ,000

Washington. Feb. 24.-The house to-
day rejected the senate provision in
creasing TO 100000 the salary of the
president.
In a lively debate in the house on
the conference report on the executive
legislative and judicial appropriation
bill, Messrs. Underwood of Alabama
and Clark of Missouri criticised the
senate increases in appropriations,
especially i'm reference to salaries.
Messrs. Bingham of Pennsylvania
Giliett of Massachusetts and Livings-
ton of Georgia, the house confeTees
strenuously defended their report
which, in so far as there was no dis
agreement. was adopted.
President Gets s291, 900 Now.
When the discus. ion turned on the
increased salaries of the president, vice
president, speaker of the house and
judges, about which the confeTees
could not agree, Mr.. Clark renewed his
criticisms, declaring that instead OF
S50, 600, the president actually received
1921 600 per annum.
The vote on each increase was taken
separately BY 81 to fO2, the house re-
fused To accept the senate amendment
increasing the speakers salary.
After the senate amendment allow
ing the president 100000 had been re-
jected, an unusual scene resulted
Members scrambled for recognition to
make various motions. The speaker,
unruffled by his besiegers, held that g
motion by Mr.. Watson 0ndianaD. to
recede from the amendment and amend
it so as to shut off debate. by moving
the previous question, and on that
proposition the roll again was called.

The previous question was ordered
and the amendment was carried-163
to 149-amid Republican applause.
The amendment will make the presi-
dents salary equivalent to the present
salary plus the $4,000 heretofore al
lowed him for travelling expenses, the
appropriation being stricken out
Ridicule From All Sides.
A long debate was precipitated by
Mr.. Bingham offering an amendment
to the senate amendment designating
the proposed new official of the state
department as vice" secretary, instead
of under" secretary. and reducing the
salary from $4,000 to 81 500.
Strenuous objection and ridicule
came from all sides.
The charge was made I'm several
quarters that the United States was
trying to ape foreign powers. The
amendment was vigorously supported
by Mr.. Watson 0ndiana), while Mr..
Mann Oll.), in opposing the creating of
the offices Of under secretary and
fourth ass. stant secretary, maintained
that il was simply another way of Civ
ing office TO two more men.
Without an opportunity being af-
forded to vote on the Bingham amend
ment. the house rejected the whole
amendment and all remaining senate
amendments pertaining to the state de-
partment.
The next battle was waged on the
senate amendment increasing the sala-
ries of federal judges. Finding them
selves in a hopeless minority, the con-
ference comm ttee moved d non-con-
cuTrence in all the amendments. This
action was taken and the bill sent back
TO conference.

One of the gruesome details of the

afternoon of the unclaimed effects OF
rs unfortunates. Ii was a motley
array OF Junk" as II was termed by
those officiating at the inventory, and,
from commercial standpoint, was
not valuable.
Il wouldn't give 80 cents for the
whole layout" observed one clerk, as
he surveyed the promiscous heap OF
husty old letters, notebooks, spec
tacle cases, purses, pencils, a jack
knife or two and trinkets OF all de-
scriptions. Yet, many a life tragedy
lay hidden In that forlorn little FUNK"
pile. Hallowed memories lowered
about some OF those battered trinkets,
whose former owners. for the most
part, lie In unmarked graves In the

were once men Of promise, OF whom
great things were expected. When
they died no one took enough interest
in them to lay claim to their effects.
and now they will be sold at public
auction, provided there are any bid
ders, and provided no one appears TO
claim them before another year rolls
ty.
The coroners start the new year
with their work up to date. There
arc no bodies awaiting claimants In
the county morgue and no cases hang
ing over. Coroner Parker gath
cred up his personal belongings.
Thursday afternoon, and turned over
the keys of his desk 10 his successor,

During the year just closed the coro-

were from violent causes, an increase
Of 80 over the 1907 record. There
were % murders, SO suicides, 40
and eight mysteries
Street cars claimed 81 victims and
eight.
Notwithstanding this activity on the
part OF the coroners only Is inquests
were held during the year. which is
In striking contrast to the old days,

slightest excuse. The rule nowadays,
Is to hold an inquest only. whore II Is,
