His second wife was then q resident Of
Utah and had just secured divorce from

There are thousands upon thousands of
jobs lying open for the men who will

This great demand for labor and the

things: Business is booming in Utah

Idaho s great irrigation projects, now

WOMEN GIVEN CHANCE
TO GET OUT Of CITY
Thirty-FOur Inmates of Stock
ade Plead Guilty to
Eagrancy.

Thirty-four bedraggled, perspiring,
hollow-eyed women of the underworld,
victims of raid by Joseph Sharp.
sheriff, and his deputies upon the
stockado" early Sunday morning,
wearily pleaded guilty to vagrancy In
tho office of the county Jail on Mon
day evening and consented to get out
of Salt Lake City by 10 0 'clock Thurs
day morning.
1t was but one Of the sordid phases
of the crusade on the walled place of
resorts which is conducted by the Citi-
zens' Investment company. And as the
women stepped up one by one before
Stanley a, Hanks, justice Of the peace,
to admit their guilt, it seemed as if
tho beginning of the end was close
ut hand.
But William Newton, attorney for
the "landladies,' SAYS that it is not
10 be so. He asserts that the fight has
only begun-that now the women are
going to take the initiative in the
light. Their welfare, he says, is to be
carried into the highest courts if need
be, to SEQ to 1T that they shall be un-
molestcd, if such a thing be possible.
Lawyer Newton relies mainly on two
points for success. They are:
Attacking the validity of the new
statute under which the arrests were
made
Interpretation of the statute pro-
viding for change Of venue
Into Newton S fight, it is promised,
will enter writs of habeas corpus and
mandamus, and possibly injunction,
The fight will begin on Tuesday
morning, when Newton will appear be-
fore Magistrate Hanks to argue a mo-
ton for change Of venue, in which
1t is charged that both Hanks and Cap
tain L. NJ. Bishop, justice Of the peace,
arc preJudiced against stockade dwell
ers. Should Hanks decide that he can
send the cases where he pleases, New
tion threatens to appeal to the district
court and perhaps to the supreme
court.
Newton IS next step it to be an at
tack upon the statute enacted by the
last legislature on the ground that it
passed after the legal life Of the law
making body expired. Newton will set
up that although the legislative clock
indicated that the time limit had not
expired, in reality the bill passed sew
eral days after the rightful date for
In. this phase of the fight it is prob
able that injunction proceedings will
play part. 1t is limited that the
courts will be asked to order Sheriff
Sharp to keep hands off until the le-
gahty of the statute is determined.

PLUMBERS Of CITY
co OUT ON STRIKE
Increase in Wages From $500
to Sc a Day Is What They
Are After.
EMPLOYERS DECLARE
DEMAND UNREASONABLE
Large Amount of Work Is Tied
Up as Result of
Action.

The journeymen plumbers Of the city
who are members Of local union No.
10 declared strike in all of the shops
of the Master Plumbers association
Monday morning. The members Of the
union demand an increase in wages
from $500 per day Of eight hours to
So per day Of eight hours.
When interviewed by a representa-
two Of The Tribune Monday after
noon, one of the members of the Mas
ter Plumbers association said that the
union plumbers had not acted fairly in
the matter, inasmuch as they had
given no warning of their intended
strike, and, in fact, had said nothing
regarding the demand for an increase
of wages to any of the master plumb
ers until June % At that date the
secretary Of the Master Plumbers as
sociation received the following letter
from the Plumbers union:
You are hereby notified that on and
after June rs. 1909. that wages for your
plumbers and filters Will be So per day
of eight hours; and So for juniors Yours
respectfully-C. r. Cromar. j. J. ,O,Con-
Farley Burt. Committee.
Attitude Of Employers.
The members of the Master Plumb
ers association maintain that they had
no warning of the intended demand
and therefore had contracted for thou
sands of dollars worth of work on
which they will lose money if forced
to pay the demands of the journey
men plumbers. When asked regarding
the bringing Of non union men to the
city to do the work, one of the mem
bers of the Master Plumbers associa-
tion said that it would not be neces.
sary, inasmuch as there were plenty of
non-union plumbers In Denver, who
were working toward Salt Lake City
at the present time.
Two of the shops OF the city, G. C.
Doyle e Co. and Midgley Bros, who
maintain that they have never been
unfair to union labor, are working with
n full force Of men. All of the other
shops of the city are tied up. The
members Of the union maintain that
their demands are just and that they
will win the strike.

Three Suspects Ia BlHflsIt Jail

About ten days sgo Major George w.
Hood, his two daughters, Almeda and
Emma, and son, Roy Hood, were most
brutally murdered in their home near
Beckley, in Raleigh county, w. Va,
ane their home burned to cover up all
traces of foul play. Suspicion at once
pointed to Mike Ferril, who had at one
time been boarder in the Hood home,
and who was to have been married to
Almeda Hood the coming Christmas.
After q search of several days, Ferrill
was finally located at an old lumber
camp in the mountains Of Raleigh work.

companions, who are being held as ac-
completes, were at once placed under
arrest. Ferrill, Nelson Thompson and
Herly Lively, two of the men arrested
as accomplices, are now confined in the
Bluefield Jail for ssfekeeping, as feeling
against them in Raleigh is 80 bitter
that lynching is sure to result should
the men be taken back to Beckley. The
other two, Edward Scruggs and Wiley
Durham, are being held in the Raleigh

New Branch Line Goasseiing POeahuutas

Considerable interest is being taken

mence building between Csnebrake, W.
Va, and Cedar Bluff. in this county,
according to the Blusfield Telegraph of
yesterday This line, which will con-
meet the Pocahontss division with the
Clinch Valley division and help make
the Clinch . better paying line, will
eventually connect with the Tug Fork
and Dry Fork branches, and in this way
a great deal of the congested traffic on
the Pocahontas division viii be diverted
to this division, line which has never
at any time in the past done record
breaking business. In addition to this,
it will enable the N. & w. to ship q
great deal Of eastern coal and coke to
tidewater with a much shorter mileage.
Work is to be commenced on this new
extension at once, aud it Is expected
that the line will be ready for operation
by January l, 1911. This new arrange
ment will necessitate the building of
about twenty five miles of additional
track, with one immense tunnel on the
line. This tunnel, it is said, will be
4,800 feet in length.
We are told that people of the Cedar
Bluff neighborhood are jubilant over
the coming of this new road, and that
already there has been substantial nd
vance in real estate and other values
since the road has practically become
an assured fact.

Double Tragedy at Keystone.

A report reaches here of shocking
double tragedy one day last week in the
turbulent little town of Keystone, just
across the border on the West Virgins
side of the State line, which sent two
souls into eternity in the twinkling Of
an eye. Mike Spiraya, Hungarian, anC
Bessie Webb, native of Poor Valley
this county, being the victims. II
seems that Spiraya, who was infatuated
with the girl, had gone to the house
where she made her home, called hel
aside for a conversation, and after g
few words had been spoken drew a pis.
tol and shot her through the heart. He
then turned the gun on himself anG
blew out his own brains, both dying in
stantly. Jealousy is assigned as the
cause of Spirsya's act.
