SMyTH STILL TO
Be U. S. MARSHAL
Question of a Successor Is Not
to Be Decided for Several
Weeks, 1t Is Said.
FUSSY JIMMY WILL
REMAIN A SUBORDINATE
Federal Bunch Does Not Appear
to Have Cinch on Taft, as
on Roosevelt.

There will be no change in the of
fee of United States marshal for Utah
for several weeks. 1t may be months
before final action is taken. This is the
information impaired to The Tribune by
it's Washington correspondent, wired on
Saturday night.
It would appear that the church does,
not have the same cinch upon Taft as
it did upon Roosevelt. In other words,
Taft is not playing to the grand stand
regarding Utah affairs as did his pre-
cecessor, and the apostolic ambassador
and his jack. Mormon colleague do not
have the influence in the building known
as the White house that the Smoot
Mouth in Zion would have the peo-
pie believe.
Mission a Failure.
The Tribune IS advices are that the
visit of the g federal bunch - to the ma
tional capital has not been productive.
Indeed, it is said that kinky Booth was
Informed that If he devoted a quarter as
much time to seeing that prosecutions
against the so-called coal land frauds
were pushed that he does TO butting
into politics or in dress parade on the
campus when the governor S staff is
called on TO show off that his official
tenure in the office of United States
attorney for Utah would be more Sc

IL also is stated that the treasury
department laid down the law to Curly
Callister and Informed him that PERM
clous activity in politics upon his part

past, might lead to the removal of the

Peewee Hears Something Drop.
AS TO Pecwee Thomas, this eat-puher
of Uncle Sans government cow, was
told TO hike back TO Salt Lake City and
keep close tab upon his office, He was
told, so it is stated, that the postoffcc
department had never fully recovered
from the fact that he, Peewee, had
permitted pouch of frst-class mail to
lay in his Office thirty eight days before
it was distributed. and that his reten-
tion in the postoffce was only due to
the fact that the hierarchy demanded

ltal, and as no mention has been made
OF any feed wherein the party and the
president were gathered it is not known
whether Spry sat upon the president S
left or not. III the absence of any in
formation upon this point, former Gov
ernor Cutler still holds the honor of an
executive of Utah sitting upon the
president IS left.
Matters Are "Balled Up
The fact that the party which visited
Washington in behalf of Fussy Jimmy,
and to urge his appointment as United
States marshal had "balled' things up
is no surprise to Utahns. 1t has long been
known that the record which Fussy
Jimmy made when county commissioner
has been filed with the authorities at
the capital and that the Navajo in
cident has been elaborated upon. This
IN the case of an ordinary applicant
would kill the application and relegate
the applicant. But Fussy Jimmy repre-
sents the hierarchy. He is the protege
of the apostate. Smoot is an apostle.
Of the apostolate. Smoot is an apostle.
In this connection it might be stated
that the number of applicants for the
job held by Marshal Smyth is thirty
all told. This will be surprise to
Fussy Jimmy, to Jody Eldredge and
to former Sheriff Emery. but it is true
The twenty-seven others are fighting
for the place and several are making

and Bbwell would talk upon the subject
they would paralyze the people. But
the trio arc silent.
Coming ''Way Back
The quartette Of the Federal Bunch
will probably start home Sunday If
they do, all should reach home Thurs
day, although Peewee Thomas may not
accompany the party the entire way
as a stop may be made by him in west
ern Pennsylvania. Advices here are TO
the effect that most Of the politicians
in the old homo of Peewee Thomas have
taken to the woods, They do not want
to sign any more petitions in his be
half nor do they want him to come back
to Pennsylvania to live, hence their eff
forts to escape, and a fleeing to the tall
timber
Meanwhile Smyth is drawing salary
as United States marshal, Jodv Eldredge
is lord of the assayer's office, Fussy
Jimmy is a subordinate in Curly Gull
lister S office and former Sheriff Emery
is sucking his fingers so as to keep
them nimble should the government con
clude to put teat in his pathway.
