There was little new in the evidence
of II. w. Earl, formerly stoTekeeper,
who was apparently too non-committal.
He said the Newman boys who mad
worked on repairing the books had
shirked, but this was forced from him.

he was not a member of the union. He

roll, but afterward denied this.

had worked at that trade since he was
16 years old. Some of the work for
which he had been paid consisted Of
tending the boilers, but he had drawn
$3.50 day for all of it.
This closed the hearing for the day.
There are large number of witnesses

board who are foremost in pushing the
investigation are determined to go into
everything in either department that

REISER REPLIES
TO DISCLAIMER
Walton and Morris Do Not
Wish to Be Identified With
The Bulletin.

Following a disclaimer of responsibility
for the Daily Bulletin" by Wesley h.
Walton and Nephi l.. Morris, chairman
and secretary of the executive committee
of the Republican prohibition league, Al
bert s. Reiser, publisher of the ''Buile-
tin,' yesterday criticised the action of
the two members of the committee for
their attitude of making a public denial,
but declared that he was issuing the pub
DCatiOn on his personal responsibility and
that his connection with the executive
committee Of the Republican Prohibition
league did not in any way involve the
league in the publication.
The disclaimer Of the executive commit
tee made as the result of the arraign-
fnent of the committee by Senator Marks
for permitting Reiser to continue his
publication follows:
To The Salt Lake Herald,
Inasmuch as q certain gentleman on the
floor of the senate has arraigned the ex-
ecutiYe committee of the Republican Pro
hihltiCn league of the state of Utah, and
has also charged them with the RESPONSE
bility OF the bulletins published by Mr..
Albert S. Reiser, We beg to inform the
gentleman and all others. if there may be
any others who are of the same opinion,
that the executive committees name was
never used by Mr.. Reiser, though he did
sign as q member of the committee. At
committee by formal action disclaimsd,
absolutely, any responsibility for Mr..
RelSer's bulletins that had been pub
lished or that should be published in the
future, and so informed Mr.. Reiser.
Careful reading of his bulletins will dis
close the fact that he has, himself, re-
peatedly assumed the responsibility of
their publication.
The Republican Prohibition league is a
clean, honest, open and abOve-bOard fight,
without personal animosity and vindie-
tiveness. There is only one motive that
mpels the movement and that is to pro-
c1Jre by honorable methods statewide
prohibition for the people of Utah at the
earliest possible day. (SigDed)
