What Morris Says.

Nepm L. Morris, prominently identi-
fed with the Republican League, chair
man of the mass convention in the Salt
Lake theatre, at which stirring resOlu-
tons were adopted, yesterday issued the
following statement:
1.-THE Republican Prohibition League
was not at all surprised that Governor
Spry vetoed the liquor bill passed by
the last legislature. We never for a
moment expected that it would meet
with his approval If there was a deal
between certain Republican politicians
and representatives of the liquor inter-
estS. measure so restrictive as the
Badger bill could scarcely have been
expected to pass muster with his ex-
cellency- The veto was the first gun
fired in campaign now on for abso-
lutte prohibition. Within a few DAYS an
address will be drafted by the Prohibit
ton League, calling upon the people to
rally to its standard in the fight that
will put down the liquor traffic in
comparatively short time. We put off
active campaigning until the fate of
bills introduced in the Eighth legfsla-
tive session should be known. We are
now prepared to enter the struggle and
a fight to the death will be made
against any obstacle placed in the way
of absolute prohibition. Already the
league has a committeeman in each
county of the state who is heart and
soul in the movement. A meeting will
be held in the near future, probably at
conference time, when a plan of cam
paign will be more thoroughly mapped
out In the meantime the address indi-
Gated will be prepared and published"

The Anti-Saloon League.

The annual meeting of the board of
trustees of the Anti-Saloon League Of
Utah was held last evening in the head
quarters of the league in the Y. NJ. c.
A. building. There was present a large
representation of members; those of the
members who live out Of the city, i'm
some cases, sent proxies.
The policy of the league for the ensu-
ing two years was determined. The
league will use every effort to close
saloons in the state so far as possible
under existing laws. The councils in
the various cities and towns and the
boards of county commissioners which
have power to grant licenses will be
asked to decline TO license in localities
where the sentiment of the people is
manifestly for prohibition. It was the
sense of last nights meeting that this
sentiment prevails in most of the coun-
ties of the state.
The definite policy of the league is to
secure the enactment by the next Iegis-
iature of statewide prohibition law.
The decision of the league on this point
was unanimous. The league will con-
tinue the agitation for prohibition and
will take steps to secure the election Of
a legislature that will pass a statewide
prohibition iaw-such is the declara-
ton.

WAS RESCUED JUST IN TIME
Pitiful Note Left Giving Her
Reasons for Attempt

After breeding over her lonely con-
dition until her mind had become
at least temporarily unbalanced, Miss
Ollie Daniel attempted to end all by
jumping into a we'll at midnight, July
14th, at the home of ]. X. Alvey in
Hartford. She was sleeping with a
little daughter of Mr.. Alvey with
whom she was boarding, who was
awakened when she left the room.
The child called to her mother nd
father, whom she awoke before Miss
Daniel reached the well.
AS soon as the unfortunate girl had
jumped, she began to moan loudly al !
Mr. Alvey was only a short while H..
reaching her. He let the bucket, whic
had been used in drawing water down
to her to which she held and in tnis
manner was rescued from her perilous
position.
Miss Daniel had been respondent
for several days,not having been away
from her boarding house during the
time, and a physician had visited
her time or two. Miss Daniel is an
orphan, her parents having died sew
eral years ago. She came to Hartford
a few months ago to accept employ
ment with Dr. j. r. Pirtle, local dem
tist, and has made many friends dur
ing her brief stay. She never gave
way to her respondent tendencies in
public, maintaining a quiet, pleasant
and sunny disposition instead. The
following note was found after the
young lady had been rescued:

Judge Birkhead Gives James
H. Harris Another Chance
Bond $4,000.

Immediately after converting court
Monday July 12,after a vacation Of al
most two weeks, Circuit Judge T. f..
Birkhead handed down his decision
on the motion of j. A. Harris for a
new trial. The courts decision was
verbal. AS soon as the court stated
that he would grant a new trial to
Harris, Attorney LaVega Clements
rushed to the telephone and told Ilar-
ris of the glad tidings.
Harris was sentenced to serve two
years in the penitentiary at the April
term of court for attempted arson by
setting fire to the storehouse at the
corner of Eighth and Hall streets,
owned by the West End Home and
Land company of which Harris was
president.
After Harris had been sentenced tc
the penitentiary he asked for a new
trial and recently filed a petition stat
ing that he had succeeded in finding
parties who were talking to him at
the time the alarm was sent in. He
claims that Roy Stateler and his wife
Mamie Stateler. were in his office
talking business when the alarm was
sent in and therefore he could not
have been at Eighth and Hall.
