LEGISLATION AND LEGLSLA TORS
BULLEN CALLS
FORTH PROTEST
Mr.. MCCracken Says That Dis
tributiOn of "SCurriiouS"
Pamphlets Is Outrage.

MIR. Speaker said Mr.. McCracken, 4
find on my desk two copies of a scurril-
lous and lbei0us pamphlet entitled The
Daily Bulletin. One bears date of March
and the other March 3. / do not know
how they got here, but 1 certainly would
like to know. They contain outrageous at
lacks upon q United States senator from
Utah, the congressman from this state, a
state senator and our esteemed governor.
l do not believe that these sheets have
any proper place on the desks of the mem
bers of this house
Now, Mr.. Speaker, | move you that the
sergeant-at-arms be required to explain
to this body by what means they came
to be on the desks of the members-wheth-
er ne placed them there himself or by his
authority.
A number of the members present said
that the pamphlets need not be read by
members if they did not see fit to read
them. Mr.. Henrie said:
We have been attacked by at least one
of the newspapers of this city in a man
ner even more scurTillous and lhelOUs
than these pamphlets. l think this house
ought to be above paying any attention
to this kind of matter. l take it that it
would be lowering our dignity to pay any
attention to these publications"
Mr.. Bower said that if any member
found anything on his desk that ne did
not desire to read. or which was often
sive he had a waste basket beside him.
In the end the motion to require the ser
geant-at-aFms to disclose how or by whom
the pamphlets were distributed was lost.

tributed along the lire a foreman to
take charge of the pole setting has oeen
employed and will arrive in the city this
week. The specifications call for electric
cars nine feet wide and the poles. are
to be set ten feet from the center of the
track, leaving them five and one-half feet
from the outside edge of the car when It

tracked and the distarce from the CEN
ter of one track to the center of the other
is TO be fifteen feet, which will leave
distance between two cars side by side
of six feet. All poles are to be set IN

Sidney Bamberger has returned from
his trip to California, where he went TO
employ an electrical engineer to take
charge of the identification of the road.

those we will use On our line The cars

are of a new pattern, very comfortable,
high-speed cars and, except that they are

AGREEMENT IS EFFECTIVE
More japanese Returning to Home
Ports Than Are Arriving in the
United States.

Toxic March 4.-Returns just COM
pleted by the foreign office show that
between June and December, 1908, 1851
japanese left the empire bound for the
United States, while $500 returned from
the United States during the same period
Of those returning 3.031 Travelled third
class across the Pacific. which indicates
that they were of the laboring class,
against whom the emigration restrictions
of the japanese government are particu-
larry directed.
The total number Of japanese sailing
for Hawaii from Japan during the same
period is shown to have been Isl, while
those returning from the islands num-
bered 29jl. of which number 2SS9 were
third class passengers.
During the month Of January. 1909 the
foreign office figures show that 152 Jap
anese sailed for the United States from
Japan. while 295 returned to japan during
the same period from that country. Two
hundred and sixty-four OF the latter trav-
eled third class.
In the same month 145 japanese sailed
for Hawaii while 50 returned, all the
homeward bound coming third class.
The months embraced by these figures
include the period in which the agree
ment relative to emigrants to the United
states which was concluded between
Thomas J. o. Brien. the American ambas-
sadOT, and the japanese foreign office
IN January. 1907, became actually opera
tive. The foreign office points out the
fact that It has required several months
time to perfect a system whereby the en-
tire field of emigration could be brought
under control. namely those months be-
tween the conclusion of the agreement
and juno ], 1898. and that consequently
the showing for the months beginning in
June and UP to the present time is the
only fair test of the effectiveness of the
system OF restriction employed. The for
eign office officials are particularly in
sistent in calling attention to the fact
that on the figures given A0lO more Jan
srese returned from American territory
than sailed for it during the last eight
months. and they state that this Is ex-
tremeiy significant Of the effective op-

The train stopped half an hour at Sal
Duro. a little station in the exact center
of the great bed The name Sal Duro
is the Spanish for solid salt. Many of the
party thought that the tract was SOHO

was an arm Of the lake, and that it was
