During the trip from Omaha 10 Og-
den brief stops were made at the
more prominent division points of the
road. and the general operating meth
ods of the system were pretty thor
oughly inspected by the visitors.
The party will leave this evening
for Salt Lake City under the escort of
General Superintendent Davis of the
Oregon Short Line and, returning TO
Ogden, continue west over the South
ern Pacific Thursday morning In or

company him on his trip, and his in
vitation was quickly and eagerly ac-
cepted The watchman had transpor-
tation for himself, but Kerrlgan was
forced TO climb to the roof of the
short distance free.
Here is where the cheering glasses
began to get in its deadly work. The
train began to move, but Kerrigan
could not stay with 1t. He was soon
topping to the ground, where he
landed with sufficient force to sprain
his right ankle and to shake and sob
er him up to the situation. An officer
approached, and the man drew an ugly
looking army gun of the old Colts pat
tern He was not In a fighting mood,
however. for he cast the gun In
clump OF grass anG walled pitifully
for help. He was taken to the police
station. and his friends were notified.
He was first charged with drunkep-5
ness but the charge was withdrawn
and changed to read carrying con-
cealed weapons"
Kerrigan claimed that the gun was
unloaded: that II was the first time
he had ever carried gun. that II
belonged TO Flemming, and that his
friends would be responsible for his
actions IL released,
The sergeant took him at his word,
and telephonel a friend OF the man,
10 whose custody he was turned over.
The charges were withdrawn, a cab
was called, and everybody was hap
py again.

OGDEN AS
CAPITAL
CITIZENS WHO THINK NOW is
THE TIME TO ACT.
Mayor Brewer Is in Favor Of Infusine
More Life into the People by
Public Action.

Ogden is stirred up to high pitch
of enthusiasm over the capital fight.
Here arc few more expressions OF
our public men:
Mayor Alex Brewer:
This agitation for the capital for
Ogden 0is a fine thing and ! heartily
approve of it. ] am not so sure but
that we can get 1t, too If the people
of Ogden set their minds on thing
and want 1t enough to go after 1t with
determination and energy, they will
most always win out. I'll back the
people of Ogden every time. At the
meeting last evening, the council vot-
ed free water for the use of the cap
itol building If II is even built, 10 show
that we will give all the encourage
ment possible / am In hearty favor
OF anything that will arouse the peo-
pie of the state to the fact that Og-
den Is on the map and Is a factor to be
considered in everything OF public
nature"
DR.. Dickson, councilman;
I'm for it. you can bet. There may
not be very much chance of our get

don't think the moneyed men of Salt
Lake would allow such change to
be made. The agitation, however, is
all right; can't do any hurt and may
do lot of good. say. boost for II
every time"
Judge Valentine Gideon;
Il think the proposition is great
big joke, At least. 1t looks like 1t
from here"
George H. Davis, chairman local
Republican committee:
THE agitation for change Of the
state capital to Ogden at least con
tains the merit Of increased public
spirit We need more of this sentl-
ment in Ogden, and II this Is the We
hicle 10 carry us to the goal, we will
be fully compensated though we fail
in gaining the capital State capitals

but by reason Of central location, and
public spirit, Continue TO boost and
you will learn that it has good ad-
vertising value"

Director North rendered his resig-

that on account of conditions exist

Director North hal been amicably ad-
justed The friction between the two
continued, however, and at last Secre-
tary Nagel put the matter squarely up
to President Taft. saying that either
he or Mr North would have to leave
the service AS existing conditions be

tor North held to the belief that the
census bureau was an independent in
