Three Of the most romantic OF the AIexanders
of later times Alexander Nevski, the Russian,
Alexander III, the Scotchman, and Alexander Bey,
the Albanian. Each of these great war

their Macedonian predecessor. each rendered his
country and lasting service at time when
II sorely needed.
Alexander Nevski was born in 1920 the of
Prince Yaroslav, OF Novgorod. When Alexander
and his other son, Feodor still young. the
prince was called from home to lead his country

two young men were left to govern in their fathers
absence. and shortly after this Feodor died. Alex
ander did his best. but he could not keep the Mon
golians swarming into his fathers possessions
and declaring themselves conquerors. He did man
age however to keep at bay the Danes. the Teu-
tons and the Swedes, and received his surname be-
cause brilliant defeat of the latter in 124o
the River Neva.
On his fathers death Alexander made Prince
of Vladimir and he ruled his people wisely and
we'll But he could not free his country from Mon
golian vassalage. and during his life he had to
make three journeys to the camp of the Tartars
his oath of fealty. on the last of these
journeys he died, and his memory was so greatly
reverenced that he was canonized.
Alexander III King of Scotland from lAs,

reign Scotland enjoyed unprecedented peace and
prosperity.
Alexander Bey born in 1903 His real name
was George Castriota, and he the son OF an
hereditary Albanian prince. But a. child he was
sent as a hostage to the Ottoman court, and there
he lived until his fathers death Then he returned
home. declared his principaIity independent OF Tur-
key and maintained his independence until he
died. The Turks, in admiration of a man who could
SO defy them. thought the name most suited to him

STATE OFFICERS
ISSUE STATEMENT

Tuesday there will be submitted to the
people Of the state a question of vital i'm
pOrtanCe, and one which is worthy the
most careful consideration Of every voter
Of the state-"Shall Utah have state
capitol?'
That citizens generally may be awake
to the Importance Of the special election.
we take this opportunity of presenting to
them the considerations which have led
the legislature to make provision for the
submission Of the capitol question.
Utah has now enjoyed the distinction Of
statehood for a period Of thirteen years
during all Of which time she has occupied
the position of tenant to Salt Lake CITY
and county and various landlords of Salt
Lake City. With the assumption Of the
territorial debts and the then unknown
needs Of the new state in the matter Of
accommodations for state officers the
constitutional convention deemed II pru-
dent to defer provision for a state capitol
building until a date in the future when
the needs Of the state officers becsnH
apparent and the financial condition Of
the state would permit of its building
Ten years was the maximum time urged
for these developments.
Thirteen years have elapsed since the
granting of statehood. Those thirteen
years have been years OF prosperity for
Utah and her people. they have been
years OF growth, activity and accom-
plishment With the growth of the state
and the development Of her resources.
there has naturally come an ever-fncreas-
ing volume of business for transaction by
the officers of the state.
While thirteen years ago the accommo-
datiODs afforded at the city and county
building were ample, today this building
can not house many Of the state Officers.
and those who do find quarters there are

I transaction Of business.
In addition to this. the governments of
Salt Lake City and county are each wear
in need Of additional rooms in the citv
and county building. and the state must
give way to the growing demands OF those
who own the building.
The present scattered location Of the
various officers Of state government rem

ed in the corridor Of the -Four Courts

threatened him, saying that he could
take care Of himself
Kane used YOung's revolver in killing
MOhrle. When the shots resounded
through the Four Courts building VIII
liam Wright, a Cc-defendant with
MOhrie, became hysterical. He begged

dered him locked up. Only a few nights
ago Wright became frenzied on the
street and began shooting wildly, under
the impression that the gang was
after him. Alfred Nelson, who wss
passing. was mOrtally wounded. Wright
is also under arrest for this death.
M0hTle killed Young on April 4.
News Of YOungs death was received

Vaudeville, La, June by the col
lapse Of a freight wharf here, upon
which about sixty-five people had
rushed early yesterday evening to board
the excursion steamer Margaret on her
return trip to New Orleans, ten persons
are known TO be dead. and a rescue
party is searching for the bodies of
seven other persons who are missing.
All were residents of New Orleans
The Margaret did not land at the wharf
to which she was accustomed to tie
up Instead she ran into dock built
especially for skiffs and small craft.
This small wharf was pulled by the
steamers ropes entirely away from the
main pier, and some twenty people
went into the lake in about eight feet
Of water The cries and shrieks of those
precipitated into the lake were heard
all over this place. and many men
rushed to the wharf to join in the work
of rescue. The officers and crew of
the Margaret rescued many by throw
ing them life preserveTs.
The bodies were all taken to New Or
leans last night on the Margaret.
