That there was need Of Kinky
Booth Curly Callister and Governor
Spry reaching Washington at the earl
lest date possible to push the claims
of Fussy, alias Navajo Jimmy, Ander,
son for the United States Marshalship
is shown by the following special tele,
gram received By The Tribune Friday

dent Here is the telegram:
The Utah marshalship is now a live
proposition with the Utah delegation, 1t
looks as If j. T., IIldredge, assayer IN

the mint would be recommended James
II. Anderson and former Sheriff Emery
are candidates. Roberts. one of the for
mcr candidates. has retired on n promise
from Senator smoot that he should have
a position at the capitol In Washington.
The disposition was 20 recommend An
It might prove unpopular. One OF the
disappointed candidates may be given
the assayership a consolation prize.
The nomination may so To the senate
Monday.
This is in accord with the story
printed in The Tribune, Friday, which
gave tho details Of the hurried trip
to the national capital by the three
members Of the "federal hunch.'
Apostle Smoot promised the job of
United States marshal TO Fussy Jimmy.
The hierarchy also desires his appoint
mcnt, while Sutherland is desirous that
,Iody Eldredge be given the place. 1t
is also understood that a well-Enown
and prominent Gentle Of Salt Lake
City is pushing Mr.. Eldrcdge, not for
the reason that he loves Jody, but be-
him it would make a place IN the as
SaV office for q lack Mormon
Caused Departure.
1t was knowledge of this fact that
caused the hurried departure of Booth,
C3llister and Spry to Washington. Fussy
believes that when this trio reaches
the capital on Sunday that they can
put enough pressure upon Sutherland
to induce him to withdraw his opposi-
tion to Fussy Jimmy.
This trio. so the "federal bunch -
believe. Will be able 10 convince the
authorities at the capital, should they
fail to win over Sutherland, that Pussy
is the only logical candidate. They
will point out that Mr.. Eldredge is
now holding a government position and
that former Sheriff Emery has just re-
tired from a long siege in Office and
that he really needs rest.
IT is understood that most of the
talking Will be done by CalIister aud
Spry. as kiDky Booth is virtually per-
soma non grata with the department
of justice. due to his disastrous failure
in prosecuting the coal lands fraud
cases, by which the Utah Fuel company
was presented with several millions Of
dollars by the government in the shape
Of coal lands.
Curly an Orator.
Curly Callistcr is, as all Utahns know,
an orator, and he is expected to use
his eloquence in endeavoring TO show
the president the absolute necessity of
having Fussy Jimmy appointed. OF
course. Spry will do some talking, but
he was taken along to lend dignity
to tho party.
Meanwhile friends of the several can.
didates are keeping the wires hot be-
tween Zion and Washington, and if
Fussy Jimmy does not land the Job
there will be q jumping upon the junior
senator from Utah that will not leave
even grease spot Of him,
