.RANL|Ns RETAINS
SEAT ON The BOARD
,Judee G. G. Armstrong Decides That
He May Participate in Jordan
School Affairs.

James r. Rawlins, of Draper, is en-
titled to a seat in the board OF educa-
ton OF the Jordan school district. ac-.
.cording to the decision of3Jndge George
G. Armstrong yesterday afternoon in
his suit against the board for n writ
of mandamus, He will be allowed to
participate in the business transacted
by the board. It is probable, how
ever, that the board will appeal the
case. t5i5s 81
Nh. RaNlins was elected a member of
the board after spirited fight last
December During his absence from
the county, the board ousted him and
chose Heber A. Smith to succeed him
because it was charged that he was
not a. resident of Draper when he was
elected.
The board introduced evidence at the
hearing to show that Rawlins had taxi
en- up a homestead in Uintah county
and was therefore disqualified. 1t ap-
pears. however, that the land which
was taken up was afterwards aband-
4 oned. and there was no evidence that
he was not resident OF Draper at
| the time of the election.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-George Busse,
the younger brother of Mayor Busse,
of this city, was exonerated today by
a coroner's jury from responsibility for
the death of Mrs. Flora Tuckerman,
the daughter Of Brigadier General A.
G. Girard, U. S. A. The evidence
showed that Busse was explaining the
mechanism of a new revolver to a
maid in his employ at the Busse home
when the weapon was discharged and
the bullet pierced a window and cur

opposed to the Anti-saloon league bill,
which would give the people in the
country a right to vote as to whether
there should be saloons in the city.
These are the members who hold the
balance Of power, and it is probable
that the bill which will finally pass
will be along the lines OF county unit
with the three big cities each in unit
of its own.
A new move has been made by the
saloon men in the way of trying to
introduce a bill which shall contain a
large number of names as introducers,
thus binding them to it's support. The
bill which has been prepared and is
being held for signatures, provides for
precinct local option exempting all
cities and incorporated towns of what
ever class. 1t is claimed that 35 names
have already been secured as intro
ducers Of the bill. If the majority can
not be induced to permit their names

furnished are such that few homeseek-

the Walla Walla valley. While the

so smoothly in the senate that that

Hutchinson Wants
on the Committee

OLYMPIA, Feb. 1-(Special Core
spondence)-As a result of having cast
a vote with the anti-saloon league
forces, Senator Hutchinson believes
that he is to be deprived of a place
on the rules committee, which is the
most important committee of the SEN
ate, as it will have the sitting of the
bills during the rush days near the end
of the session.
When the senate organized Senator
Hutchinson withdrew from the race
for president protein in favor of Sem
ator Ruth who was elected. At that
time it was believed by all that Gov
ernor Cosgrove would soon be inaugu
rated and that when Lieutenant Gov
arnor Hay became active governor,
Rcth would become president of the
senate. Under the rules the presiding
office of the senate is eX-Officio chair

tor Ruth was already a member of
chairman it left a vacancy on that
committee, and it became the duty of
Ruth to make an appointment to fill
it,
Senator Hutchinson claims that at
the time he withdrew in favor of
Ruth. the latter gave him a positive
promise that when he became presid-
ing officer of the senate he would APP
point him to a place on the committee
on rules. The appointment was ex-
pected to be made as soon as Ruth
succeeded to the presidency, but no
appointment has yet been made, and
Hutchinson claims that his vote to re-
fer the anti saloon league bill to the
judiciary committee has cost him hs
place on the rules committee. The op-
ponents, of the anti saloon league bill
had been CHASING Senator Hutchin-
son as being in their ranks, although
he says they had no reason to do so
as he has ever been nom n-cCmmittal as
to the kind of a local-OptiOn bill he
would support and still declines to
say whether or not he will vote for
