PROHIBIT I ION
IS TURNED
DOWN
WEBER CLUB FAVORS REGULA-
lATION OF LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
VIII Lend Its Best Efforts to Accom-.
plish Desired End-ProtestS
Against Statewide Law.

The Ogden Weber club is against
prohibition. but is heartily In favor Of
legislation toward a strict regulation
of the liquor traffic in the state. This
was the action taken by the board Of
directors at their meeting last even
ing. |
1t is expected that the club will exer-
else its best efforts to accomplish the
ends expressed by the board of direc-
tors In a resolution passed upon last
night. The board met at the club
rooms at o'clock yesterday evening
and among other things discussed the
prohibition question that is just now
agitating the people and one that is
being considered by the Legislature.
The resolution passed by the board
of directors reads as follows:
THE directors of the Weber club.
representing the industrial and busi-
ness interests of Ogden and Weber
county. heartily favors the most strin-
gent regulation of the liquor traffic Of
this county and state, but earnestly
protests against the passage of any
state prohibition law"
Just what movement will be taken
by the club to thwart the plans of the
prohibitionists In their efforts to en-
act a prohibition law would not be
given out by members Of the board of
directors. but 1t ie conceded that some
definite action will be taken. 1t is
thought by the members that at this
time it would be quite improper for
the legislature to pass a prohibition
law and to that end they Will endeavor
to prevent such legislation.
The contention among the anti-prohi-
bitionists is that to enact drastic
measures on the liquor question at
this time would disrupt business In
terests to the extent that financial
depression in Utah would ensue, and
the commercial interests of the state
would be materially damaged. All the
members of the board were present at
the meeting and the prohibition Dues
tion was given thorough consideration.

Prohibition was again the main
feature Of the Wednesday session of
the house Of representatives. The
subject came up through the acknowl-
OF petitions on the subject, which
were at first ordered read as to coun-
ties and pro and con. Upon the COM
nencement OF the reading. however.
Brigham Clegg announced that he had
petitions which should also be includ-
ed In the reading, and then a general
discussion began.
By this time the visitors lobby was
full to over1owing and so great was
the interest manifested in the bills
end their object that the speaker had
twice TO caution visitors and members
alike about the amount of noise both
were making. 1t was finally decided
that the Cannon bill and the petitions
should be made a special order OF bus
mess for today, when 1t is expected
that the measure, as far as the Can
non bill, anyway, is concerned, Will
be finally disposed of.
Representative Holman Of Bingham
Canyon, Salt Lake county. made
strong effort to have the measure laid
over for a week, when it should be
considered conJofntly with the peti
tions which are expected to come In
In the meantime, and when he stated
he would be prepared to, If necessary,
make concessions from his standpoint
In favor Of the proposed total absti-
nence legislation. He referred to the
fact that he was not we'll and that only
sense Of duty kept him In his seat
during the session. He referred to
the Importance of the measure to the
people of the entire state, and he
earnestly advocated a full and ma
ture deliberation before final action
be taken
Representative McCracken OF We
Der county was for quick action. Let
us not overlook the fact that the an
niyersary of the birth of Lincoln
comes on Friday, and let us dispose
OF this matter SO that we may all bo
ready for The day with clear con
science" Do you hope to dispose OF
the bill at one situng?" asked Repre-
sentative Holman, to which the man
from Weber replied, Il have not the
slightest doubt but that final action
VIII be reached by the house within
very short time Of the reading of
the bill"
Mr. Holman then went still further
Into his reasons for desiring action
on the matter TO be deferred until
later. He announced that he would
be willing to take course which
might prove unwelcome to many OF
bis constituents, but added that he
bad the courage to do this in the
interests of sound legislation on the
subject Il am not one to Join in
an action which will have the effect
OF taking the responsibility for the
step OF our shoulders and placing II
upon the shoulders OF the other

matter will then come up to the SON.

OIL the bill was set for Thursday at
2:3O o'clock Upon this decision the
spectators gradually filtered out into
the hall and the business Of the house
resumed its normal course.
House bill No. 60. introduced by
Representative Henrie occasioned a
good deal of discussion, the opinion
of the members being divided as to
whether or not conyicts at work on
the roads of the state should be paid
Tor their labor OF in lieu of pay re-
ceive time off their sentences. Many
members were outspoken in their
views that convict labor was the worst
foe the honest workingman had.
while others believed that such an ar
rangement would prove an incentive
to the convicts and assist them to re
gain moral tone and desire to again
become free men and profit by their
labor An amendment was finally in
troduced to refer the bill to the COM
mittee on labor, and this eventually
prevailed.
The session Of the senate was a
very quiet one. Several bills were in.
troduced but action was taken only
in the case of one or two, amending
present laws OF minor Importance,
1t is expected that the general pub
lie will be well represented at Thurs
days session, to listen to the argu-
ments on the Cannon prohibition BILL
1t is easily apparent that the bill Will
pass the house, and the hopes of the
liquor interests really rest upon the
action of the senate. or, falling that,
a veto by the governor. 1t is gener-
ally admitted by both sides that the
issue, as far as ultimate action goes,
is dangerously divided and that both
sides so far are just about at an even
break.

CHARLES R. SMITH GOES
To PEN|TENT|ARY FOR LIFE
SENTENCE OF LOWER COURT AFFIRMED BY SUPREME COURT
JUDGE WHITFIELD DISSENTING

Jackson, Miss, July s.
Charles R. Smith, the slayer of
E. A. Laurent. must go to the
penitentiary for life for that
crime, the supreme court today
affirming the verdict of the trial
court, Chief Justice Whitfield
dissenting in one of the ablest
opinions recently coming from
the bench.
That Smith was insane when
he killed Laurent, the chief JUS
tice strongly argues, and the
evidence in. the case shows him
to have been mentally irrespon-
sible for his actions. All of the
incidents connected with the
tragedy and with the trial are
graphically recited to show up
the position taken by the chief
justice.
Miss Estelle Smith, the de-
voted daughter of the defendant,
who has stood by him through
out all of this trying ordeal, was
not in court when it met, but her
kinsman, Hon. w. J. McGee,
soon got in communication with
her and gave her the verdict
over the long distance telephone.
1t is probable that counsel for
Smith will file a suggestion of
error, and this will operate as a
stay of execution of the sentence,
unless the court decides it in va
cation and either upholds or
over-rules the suggestion. At
torney Witherspoon was not sure
what he and his associates would
do in the matter.

the bar on the victory he had
won.
The majority opinion in this
case was delivered by Justice
Smith, who was recently ap-
pointed to the bench. In it he
held that the demonstrations
complained of by the defendant
could not have influenced the
jury to the prejudice of the de-
fendaDt. That the jury was
the judge of the law and the
evidence, and it is proper to as
sumo that they were governed
in reaching a conclusion by the
law and the evidence. Prece-
dents and authorities were
quoted at great length on the
question of uncomfortable inn
pulse and insane delusions, the
foremost being the Cunningham
case. reported in ga Miss, 269,
in which the idea is repudiated.
