a hearing unless he would agree to
come in under the yoke"
Mr. Elkins referred to the fact that
the Democrats in the house had had no
opportunity to cTiticise the tariff bill
before il was reported.
Exception was taken by Mr.. Gore,
and, in a sarcastic speech, he said the
Democrats had been given fourteen
minutes in which to examine the bill
before voting upon it in committee.
Continuing his remarks, Mr.. Elkins
made no secret of the fact that he was
disappointed at not getting on the
finance committee but he said he want
ed TO get on so as to protest against
the high duties for New England and
low duties for the manufactured prod
ucts OF the south.
In an exceedingly facetous burst of
eloduence, Mr.. Elkins grilled the New
England domination" of the senate.
Speaking of the appointments of
Messrs. Lodge, McCumber, Smoot and
Flint as new members of the finance
committee, Mr.. Elkins said they had
been chosen from sections as far away
from the south as possible. Speaking
caustically of the influence of the New
England senator's in the senate, Mr. FL
kins said that they had seen tc it that
the same influence was maintained in
the finance committee.

company, which was returned April ..
1901. charged the company with d GRIM
insl formation of a conspiracy to unlaw-
fully acquire title TO LAO acres Of valuable
coal lands situated in Salina canyon. in
Sewer county, Utah Not only was the
Utah Fuel company charged with this
criminal Offense. but six Of its agents
and officers were also indicted on Grim
inal charge Henry G. Williams Robert
Forester. George a. Moore. William y.
Foster, Eiroy N Clark and Alexander Il
COwie were the parties indicted. but the
cases against them were dismissed by
Judge Marshall yesterday afternoon
The attorneys employed by the Gould
system had prepared TO fight the cases
to the last ditch, but were discouraged by
the action Of the United States supreme
court in similar proceedings brought IN
der the same law in Colorado
The statute under which the indct-
ments were brought reads as follows:
IF two or more persons cOnspiTe. either
to commit an offense against the United
States or to defraud the United States in
any manner or for any purpose, and one
or more of such parties do any act to ef-
feet the object of the conspiracy, all the

The Colorado Case.

a case identical with the one against
the defendants in this state was filed
against Robert Forester and others in
the district of Colorado. Soon after the
indictments were returned, q demurrer
was filed which was sustained by Judge
Lewis. federal Judge for the district Of
Colorado. The United States district at
tOrney of Colorado took the matter up TO
the United States supreme court. and
the decision of the lower court was re-
veTsed and the law under which the in
dictments were brought was held valid.
The decision of the United States supreme
court in the Colorado case settled beyond
a doubt the legality of the Utah cases.
The facts were clearly established. and
there was nothing for the defendants to
do but make the best terms they could.
The Utah Fuel company accordingly en-
tered court yesterday morning and en-
tered the plea Of guilty and was sen
fenced to pay fine of 5000. which was
paid few hours later. The agents Of
the Utah Fuel company were also ordered
to restore to the United States govern
ment LAO acres of coal lands and forfeit
s144s0, which they had paid for the land.
The deeds to the lands were turned over
to Mr. Maynard. and the criminal side Of
the famous cases was closed
The civil actions which were pending
against the Utah Fuel company and it's
sub-companies were next taken up. Five

Plea for Lumber Barons.

Mr.. Cushman of Washington, the new
Republican member of the committee on
ways and means. pleaded for better pro-
lection to American lumber and for a
duty on coal. The Democrats. he said,
had characterized the bill as ubiquitous,
but while there were some features not
entirely to his liking, he did not con-
denim il as a whole. 1t would be. he de-
Clared, interesting contribution to the
political literature in the nation to have
printed lin deadly parallel columns" ex-
actly what bill the Democrats proposed
as substitute for the Payne bill.
Mr.. Cushmans declaration that the
conditions were far better today than
they were under Democratic rule was dis
puted by Mr.. Weisse of Wisconsin.
Mr. Weisse declared that in the last
eighteen months 40 per cent of the aboT-
ing men of the country had been out of
work and that there had been failures
TO the amount of $3.50, 100000 in the last
two years.
Mr. Cushman replied that labOring folk
were not only getting the benefit of de-
cent wages now. but were we'll dressed
and well fed, which he said. was not the
case when Democracy was in power.

Future is Assured.

Several years ago the statement was
made TO me that Salt Lake was stand
ing still. Several Of whom made in
qUTies confirmed this statement and t
will freely admit that there have been
times when 7 did not feel justified I'm as
sentinE to expenditures looking toward
the betterment of conditions here.
Recently I have been Investigating
more closely and am now satisfied thac
Salt Lake is growing, and be-
licve there is not a city in this region
that viii be able to compare with Salt
Lake ten. yes. even five. years from
now. We have large plans under way
for Ogden and Salt Lake. none Of which
are liable to mature during this sum
mer. 1t has never been my policy TO
give advance information on improve
ments, but I viii say that we are suffi-
GENTLY supplied with equipment TO care
for the present normal wants. but when
Salt Lake requirements are greater. the
people of this city can rest assured that
the demands will be met. After today
Salt Lake shall always be in the front
Of my mind, and. though I cannot give
positive information now I viii prophesy
that Salt Lake City viii never need to
hang her head in shame because Of the
condition Of her transportation systems,
her suburban systems or any similar fca
ture, regardless Of what her growth may
be She may make her demands. and
they Will be met by us. our only require
ment being that the requests be based on
actual growth and conservative estimates
