FLAG DAY IN TIE SCHOOLS
Interesting Exercises at the Presen-
tation Of "Old Glory by the
Tenth Grade.

Among the most interesting and
enjoyable occasions ever ueld at the
public schools were the Flag Day ex-
ercises on Friday, when the tenth
grade presented large and beauti-
ful United States flag to the school.
The songs and recitations were
patriotic and enthusiastic, and the
joyous and spontaneous cheer of the
children on the presentation of the
flag showed their love for and pride
in the glorious emblem of liberty.
The stage was appropriately and
beautifully decorated. Bunting was
draped from the center to the walls,
and was hung over the pictures.
Flags of our country and state were
arranged with pleasing effect, and
the flag given by the tenth grade was
draped over a picture of Betsy Ross,
the maker of the first flag of the
country
The exercises were opened with
the song America" by the school.
Songs by the first, third, fifth, sixth
and eighth grades were enjoyable

The audience then repaired to the
front of the school yard, where, after
a concert reading by the tenth grade,

EXTRA SESSION IN OREGON
Legislature Reconvened to Pass Ap-
preparation Bill-0ther Mat
tiers May Come Up.

Salem. Ore. March 4-1he Oregon
legislature will convene in special ses-
sion here tomorrow to re-enact the bill
appropriatng about S36O.0Og for inn
provements to state institutions. The
bill passed at the recent session of the
legislature contained an appropriation
for fire apparatus at the insane asy-
lum.
The amount passed by the legislature
was $4,000. but by d clerical error APP
peared S21, COO in the bill, and the pres
ident of the senate refused to sign the
bill. thus rendering the entire act of no
effect. The majority Of the members
of the legislature have declared that
no other legislatio will be entertained,
but in the face of this a strong lobby
of supporters of appropriations for nor
NAL schools are on hand to secure
money for their schools, which the leg
islature at its regular session refused
to appropriate.
The normal school matter becomes of
Importance only for the reason that if
the legislature consents to entertain a
normal appropriation bill it is the gen.
eraI impression that il will let down the
gates for a flood of bills Of ali kinds.
The legislators at special sessions in
this state draw mileage and per dem
for twenty days.

QUESTION IS NOT
CAUSING ALARM
Validity of Legislation After
Expiration of Sixty-Day
Limit Is Discussed.
AN OPINION BY M'CRACKEN
HE SAYS COURTS WOULD NOT GO
BACK OF THE RECORD.

The assertion that the validity of leg
islation taking place after the expiration
of the usual sixty-day limit for sessions
of the house of representatives would be
questioned is not taken seriously by those
in touch with the situation. The polite
fiction of a stopped clock in the house.
making subsequent sessions a portion OF
the official records of March II, has in
the past met with disapproval but no
adverse action has ever been taken by the
courts
Representative McCracken, an attorney
when seen by The Herald last evening,
made the following statement:
while it is true that the action of the
house in failing to adjourn in proper
manner at the expiration Of the sixty-day
limit, is to my mind childish and puerile,
1t has been a custom for many sessions
[ do not believe that any court of the
state would attempt to invalidate legisla-
ton passed subsequent to March H. even
though the facts of the case were clearly
established.
This matter has been thTeshed out be-
fore and nothing has ever been done about
it, as no court has ever been found will
ing to criticise the action of the house in
this respect or go behind the records as
shown by the journal
DO the statutes of Utah or any higher
authority define positively the duration
of a calendar day?' he was asked.
Il do not care to answer that question:
was the reply. But I will say I do not
believe that any court of the state would
care to question the acts Of the house.
even though d protest might show an aC-
tual Justification Of the records.

GRAND JURY TO
LOOK into CASE
RESIGNATION of Los Angeles
Mayor Under Fire May
Lead to Scandal.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 14.-That the
complexion of the recall election situa-
ton in this city may be entirely
changed by the determined attitude
of District Attorney Frederick to ask
for a special grand jury to investigate
charges against former Mayor z. H.
HARPER and others connected with the
city government was admitted today by
both the adherents of the recall and
those opposed to it.
Judge James said the request would
be granted
Just after he had resigned, former
Mayor Harper stated that Z. T. Earl,
owner of the Los Angeles Express, had
information against him in connection
with his official acts which, if pub
lished, would ruin him, and that he
had made a compact with Earl in which
he agreed to resign, provided the infor-
nation were not published It is be-
lieved the grand jury will be asked
to investigate the nature of this in1cr-
nation.
When Mayor Harper resigned he Gre
ated situation unprecedented in Amer
lean municipal government. Since the
moment his resignation was accepted
by the council this city has been with
out a mayor. A question as to pro-
cedure has arisen for which there is
no precedent, and no provision in the
charter. and the best legal minds of
the city are at variance as TO what
must be done.
A poll of the councilmen shows that
five out of the nine lean toward the
plan of selecting a successor to Har-
per to serve out the full unexpired
term, while three are firmly opposed to
this, and one waivers.

SALOON ORDINANCE DUE FOR ANOTHER
HOIST AT COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT

The saloon ordinance is due to receive
another hoist for purposes of delay at the
meeting of the city sOlons this evening.
Those who fathered the ordinance are re-
sponsible fog the delay and are deter
mined that nothing in connection with it
shall be discussed until all liquor legis-
lation pending in the state legislature Is
definitely disposed of.
There is little else to come before the
council There are many improvements
which should be ordered. but the board is
exceedingly cbary of ordering work while
there is no money to pay for the city $
share. Property owners have petitioned
for many thousands of dollars worth of
street paving and of sidewalks, and much
of IL has been advertised as to be under
taken without any protests sufficient to
defeat following. Promises were made
which of necessity must be violated. Most
Of the improvements now pending viii
be delayed again by being sent to the
finance committee, where they usually re-
main until forced out.
The budget has not vet been formally
adopted by the council, though ii was
ready six weeks ago and has been signed
by the mayor and all the members of the
board of estimates and apportionments.
This is matter which the city fathers
hesitate to approach. knowing that fight
over some Of the allowances is inevitable.
This fight will be chiefly over the ap-
preparation to the department presided
over by Jake 7. Raleigh Councilmen 7.
r. Black and L. J. Wood are determined
II have Raleighs appropriation cut down
If possible. They withheld signatures
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1909-03-15

from the budget for a week or two in the
hope that they might be able to induce
Mayor BransfOrd TO fire Raleigh. but
when this would not work decided to fight
his allowance IN the council though they
signed the budget.
There are some water extensions for
which clamor is being raised by some
of the eouncilmen who feel that in this
matter their constituencies have not re
ceived fair treatment. This is particularly
the case with the members from the west
side. who look to get large slice of i'm
prOYements in the way of both sewers
and water mains from the bond money
These are eagerly watching every sewer
extension or water Improvement ordered
in the fear that It max take something
away from their district
The streets committee will recommend
that an appropriation of $500 be made to
the street supervisor to take precautions
against floods along the banks of the Jor-
dan The west side members maintain
that the amount is ridiculously small and
will ask that It be increased. The street
supervisor wants about 81, coo for this pur-
pose. that being the amount for which
he usually asks when any special work is
to be done.
The question of new fire station has
not yet been settled. The new station is
to be located at Second West and Eighth
South If built, bat at present there is no
fund from which the amount on which
the council has decided as necessary, s., 900
can be taken. The budget has no refer
ence to such a need as a new fire station
and somebody's appropriation must be cut
before 1t can be granted.

POWER OF SPEECH
c. R. Flemming Develops PeCu-
liar Condition Diagnosed
as Case of HySteria.

Suffering from an aggravated case OF
hysteria, c. r. Flemming of Tucson. Ariz-
and travelling to Kansas City, underwent
the strange experience of lying in two hos
pitfalls yesterday for a period of over ten
hours, understanding everything that was
going on and every word that was spoken,
but unable TO make the slightest artiCula-
ton
The case of Mr. Flemming was one of
the rare and peculiar incidents to come be-
fore the police and the physicians. Af-
irving in Salt Lake from Los Angeles Sat
urday, he concluded to remain over in this
city couple of days before continuing his
journey eastward Yesterday morning he
attended the First Presbyterian CiiuIch
and at the close of the services he was
observed by one of the ushers to be an

as he thought awakened Flemming, who
left the church. only to walk about in a
short circle and re-enteT the church. SEEM
ingly in dazed manner. The police were
notified and Flemming was taken to
headquarters.
The well-dressed, neat appearance of the
man and the fact that he showed no sign
of debaucheTy or the use of drugs led the
police to call in Assistant City Physician
5. G. Paul. VINO was followed by DR.. +. T.
Steele. 1t was noted that, while the man
seemed to understand all that was said
and tried to reply to questions put to him
he seemed to have lost not only TIE
power of speech, but the use of his lips

Although certain that the cause of
Flemmings condition lay in hysteria. DR..
Steele deemed it advisable to remove the
patient to the hospital for a further and
more extended diagnosis. F'1emming was
able to dress himself and had full use of
his limbs. After a few hours rest in the
hospital he gradually recovered his
speech, and last night was able to talk

much. but was ordered to rest. and Will

Many Arrests Made.

Palermo, Sicily, March 1.-THE assassi-
nation of Lieutenant Petrosino of New
York has stirred the police to unprece-
dented activity. Many arrests already
have been made and these include num-
her of Italians with criminal records who
lately have returned from the United
States.
Tha suspicious OF the police are espe-
ciafly centered on two notorious criminals.
one of whom is a thief of international
reputation and the other an assassin to
whose door are laid many New York
crimes. The latter was obliged to leave
the United States because of the stringent
watch kept upon him by Petrosino. 1t is
impossible to ascertain the names of the
men who have been arrested as the police
maintain complete silence.
The Palermo authorities nave arranged
for the funeral and the body will be
shipped 70 New York.
