R REP EAL @ T
GAMBLING
LAWS
WILL BE THE SUBJECT OF AN AP-
PEAL SUNDAY.
Rev. Elderkin Visits a Number Of
Places In Gathering Information
for His Coming Sermon.

"There seems to be on foot an or
ganiSed movement in ogden to have
the anti-gambling laws repealed at the
coming session of the legislature" is
the statement of one of Ogden's min
listers These laws nayo not been en-
forced for years and It seems best that
Ogden should not be encumbered with
them any longer. Not only are the
gamblers Of the city asking for this
legislation, but they are being Jealous
ly supported by the local police and
sheriff forces as well as by the legal
departments of both city and county.
And back of the whole movement are
the churches and the respectable peo-
pie who have grown weary Of the
hypocrisy and now wish Ogden TO have
legal sanction for It's open town"
At least one OF the clergy OF town
Will formally present this demand OF
the city from his pulpit, Sunday even,
ing. AT the Congregational church
Mr. Elderkin will address his sermon
to the legislature Of Utah, which meets
Monday next The sermons subject
VIII be, "Ogden's Demand That
Gambling Be Legalized"
1t is reported that Mr.. Elderkln went
through the gambling houses last
night seeking the opinions of the
gamblers themselves.

Management Beats Miners by DIS
charging Men Before Strike
is Called.

Further labor difficulties nave brok
en- out at the property of the Cumber-
land-Ely, at Ely, Nevada, according TO
;eports received from there recently.
The trouble, which started before
Christmas day, has been smoldering
until IL finally burst forth by the lay
irg on of all the men working the
property, which was between $50 AMI
200.
Some time ago the shovel men work
ing at the Veteran and Ruth shafts
struck for higher wages Before CIV
ing the company any notice to con-
cede 10 their demands they struck.
they gave the company three days III
Which TO comply with the demands.
The men who struck were operating
the big steam shovel by which the
property at that point Is worked.
Before tho three days had expired,
all the men on the properly called
general strike. When this was done
the union men found themselves IN
trouble and had violated their agree
Dlent 1t was contended that the men
had struck without giving the com
paDy a chance to comply with their
demands, that thorc was no notice or
no effort at arbitration. y meeting
of the union was held and as the union
Is said TO see that they had brought
trouble for themselves. all the men
were ordered back 10 work.
During the holidays there was con-
siderable III feeling and a strike was
threatened at any minute. When the
affair reached a climax, several days
ago, the company decided to take ac
ton. Instead OF waiting for a strike
10 be called the company laid all the
men off and closed down the greater
part of the work.
Although It is denied by the cont
pany the men were laid of to pre-
vent a strike. 1t is certain that such
was the case. The impression was
given out that It was done to make
various repairs and have other WORK
done at the property. 1t IS not be-
leyed that the trouble vii! last long.

ployment with other mining COLL

new RAILROAD WATCH
ON THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC

Railroad men on the Salt Lake di-
vision are somewhat exercised over an
order that has been promulgated by
the general superintendent which is
In circular No. 210 and operative be-
Forum.
1t pertains TO watches that the men
are using Men affected by the new
order include the following classes oil

visors, signal maintainers, yard mas
ters and assistant yardmasters.
All road men are required TO regis
ter with the watch inspectors at least
twice a month and receive their cards
from the inspector.
The new order requires that all the
railroad employees above named must
tie in possession of watches OF any

lowing specifications.
Sixteen to eighteen size railroad
movement, seventeen ruby or sap

pal new feature that Is not in the old
watches Is the double roller escape
Dient.
While the company does not say
that an employe shall be compelled
to buy this or that watch, yet 1t is
generally understood that the watch
inspectors are given to understand
that they should endeayor to sell the
Ball watch If possible. Webb G. Ball

suit of the same action.
At the time the present action was
first set for hearing, all the defend,
ants In the case were served by the
sheriffs office except the notorious
woman served last night, and she was
reported to be sick in hospital.
More than a little doubt concerning

WHAT is ESSENTIAL
IN DATING A DOCUMENT

San Francisco, Jan. S-Upon the
question OF whether the month. day
and year. but lacking the element OF
place, constitutes a date" rests tie
decision Of the United States circuit
court on an application to set aside
the probation OF the will OF the late
Jacob u. Davis, millionaire of this
city. who died about ten years ago.
Certain distant relatives of the late
capitalist, who at the time OF the pro-
batting of the will compromised their
claims to portions OF the estate for
S100.000 now seek bill of revivor.
The ground for action Is largely
based upon the contention that the
will, which Is an Photographic fnstrli.
ment, is not dated, as required by law,
having only the month, day and year
on it, but not designating the place
where 1t was written.
Counsel for the appellants, In his
argument, went back to ancient his
tory to show that place" is an es
sential element OF a date Judge
Harrington stated that it would take
him six weeks to reach decision.

MURDER MYSTERY
STILL UNSOUVED

Detroit. Mich, jan S.-The murder
mystery Of Battle Run church, near
Columbus, seemed no nearer solution
when the county officials resumed
their Investigations today than when
they entered toe blood-spattored
church Wednesday noon and dragged
from the stove Jumps Of flesh and
bones that appeared to be the remain.
Ing fragments OF human victim.
Rev ]. II. Carmichael pastor of the
church, and Gideon Browning. the
Adair carpenter who was the minis
ter's neighoor, have not been seen
since Tuesday
Various theories have been advanced
to show that the bones found in the
stove belonged to one or the other of
the missing men. but none Of the ex.
plantations offered. seem to show any
degree OF certainty. 1t is even sug,
gested that the red stains scattered
over the interior OF the church are not
human blood, and the gruesome pieces
found in the cnurch stove may be from
u cadaver, stolen from some grave
yard.
In support Of the theory that the
| murder indications are all part of a
| gigantic hoax, the assertion was ad
vanced that the missing preacher was
known to be carrying eight thousanC
| dollars OF insurance.
