Prominent Greek Resident Of Ogden
Shot Down by Fellow Countryman.

Ogden, Utah.-John Contos, one OF
the most prominent Greek residents
of the city and proprietor of an ice
cream and confectionery store, was
shot and almost instantly killed at
his place of business shortly before
midnight Saturday by Nick Vegas, a
fellow countryman. Vegas is the
proprietor of fruit stand. Another
Greek, who works for Contos. says
that Vegas walked into the store and,
without a word, stepped up to the
confectionery counter as II to make a
purchase, suddenly drew large sized
revolver. and fired. He then turned
and ran down the street. Trouble is
said to have originated over some
business differences. Contos, 1t is
said, held a mortgage upon the fruit
stand Of Vegas and had taken steps

Kalispell, Mont.-Fred Lebeau was
hanged here on Friday for the murder
of William f. Yoakum and Riley II.
Yoakum near Fortune, in Flathead
county, on June II, 1908. Lebeau
killed Yoakum because the latter or

to sell him food. Lebeau was ac-

for the deed.
After Lebeau had shot the old man
in the abdomen he walked up to him
and put bullet in his head. Then
he had a duel with Riley Yoakum, tho
old mans son, and wounded him.
Riley was so badly injured that he
shot himself and as the revolver he

WILL BUILD ROAD
TO SALT LAKE
Vanderbilt Road to Extend Railway
From Lander, Wyoming, to
Utah's Capital.
Deal Made Which viii Give the
Northwestern an outlet to the
Pacific Coast over the D. &
r. G. and Western
Pacific.

New York.-The Chicago & North.
western railroad, Vanderbilt line
which has been 'pocketed" by the Pa
cifc coast extension of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul. has, 1t is
learned, bought large stock inter
est in the Denver & Rio Grande. The
current report in Wall street is that
the Northwestern quietly picked up a
block of 10000 shares of Denver
common in the open market while
that stock was ranging between 30
and 40. At an average of 40. this
would represent an investment of
about s5.000,000. An interest of this
sort would permit the Northwestern
to gain an outlet to the Pacific coast
over the lines of the Denver & Rio
Grande and its Western Pacific, which
will be completed this fall between
Salt Lake and San Francisco, and is
partially in operation now.
The Northwestern would have to
do some building on its own account
to make physical connection with
the Gould lines. Its present western
terminus Is at Lander, Wyo., but II
has always been understood that the
road was going on southwest to Salt
Lake City. and that the bonds which
1t authorized some time ago were
partially reserved for that building
purpose. Since the St Paul built its
own line to the coast and the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy bought
control of the Colorado & Southern.
the Northwestern has been shut in
and robbed of opportunity for expan-
sion. The Gould alliance would be
about the best arrangement It could
make.

POLITICAL ACTIVITY
. OF 0FF|CE-HOLDERS
Special Committee Files Report Of
Its Findings After Investigation
Of Newspaper Charges.
Charges Are Sustained In Part, a
Notable Exception Being the Al
legations That Roosevelt Co
creed oHice.holders Into Sup
port Of Taft.

New York.-The report of the spe
cial committee appointed for the Ma
tional Civil Service Reform league tc
investigate the political activity on
the part of ofiice-holders, was maze
public Sunday, April 4. The conclu
sions of the committee briefly stated
are that charges made by certain
newspapers to a great extent, are sus
tanned. A notable exception Is re
ported In the allegations that Mr.
Roosevelt coerced certain federal on
fice-holders into the support of Mr.
Taft for the Republican nomination.
The committee finds that evidence
to sustain the charges made is Who'll
ly lacking. On the contrary, Mr.
Roosevelt is credited with ADVANCING
civil service reform by so amending
the civil service rules as to prohibit
employees in the competitive service
from taking part in political cam
paigns.
On the broad question of office-hold
ers pernicious activity in politics
however. the committee finds that q
most undesirable situation exists. Oh
the more than 100000 general Office
holders one.third are not amenable to
civil service classification. These of
ten exercise powerful influence in
politics and constitute, in the opinion
of the committee, menace to free
institutions.
The remedy is to be found, the com
mittee believes, in extending the
classified competitive service and .
clearer definition of the executive or
der governing political activity in the
unclassified service
