He stated, however, that he had no objection to Knox's confirmation. and as no opposition was voiced he was unanimously con firmed The senate then took a recess of fftaeh minutes to permit the va rious committees to which other cabinet nominations were referred to consider and report upon them
 The usual exception was made in Senator KnoX's ease out of courtesy % him as 6 member Of that body. At 1:03 o'clock the senate reassembled. Senator Gallinger announced that the president would immediately send a communication. The presidents as sistant secretary immediately ap- peared with a aOst of nominations, including those Of the cabinet post ton. and on motion of Senator Al drich the senate went into executive session.
 The senate was at once confronted by a question as to sKnox's standing. Senator Penrose stated at the earlier session that his colleague had sent his resignation as senator to the govern, or of Pennsylvania, but some sen ators had made a mental note of the fact tsat there was no other evidence Knox was not still a member of the senate. and it was stated the point probably would be raised in executive session

NEARLY WAIT
 FOR SUITS THAT
 WILL NUT COME
Customers of John Kerr, Who Claim He Has Defrauded Them, Find No Law Has Been Violated

John Derr. who was given a hear ing yesterday afternoon before Jus ice Murphy of Lowell on a charge oI C5'3lPing money under false pre- tencca. was discharged from custody, de escaped under the law regarding iutdre contracts, which holds that no ielCny is committed under conditions surrounding the present case.
 A formidable array of witnesses ar- pessTed against tIe defendant. prac- tica.ly all of whom testified that ,hey had paid from s30 to $40 into a suit cub which he had formed, aud Lnat they had been put of for weeks. and even months. none of them re- cei2:ng the promised suits of clothes.
 Derr formed a club of forty mem bers. each of whom agreed to pay S2 each week After the club was or ganized name was drawn each week. and the person whose name was drawn was to get a suit of clothes with no further payments to be made. This continued for twenty weeks. at the end of which time all who had not drawn a suit of clothes were en titled to one for what they had paid in.
 O. s. French of Bisbee was one of the principal witnesses against the feefndant- French sad he grew sus- piciOus of the club and asked Derr he could get 8 suit of clothes by the 2Sta of October. 1908. The day came. and no suit French asked him if he could get the suit by Thanksgiving Day. He was assured that the suit would be ready long before then. French then offered him a bonus, he said. of BIO if the suit was ready by Christmas. That glad time of the year arrived, but no Christmas suit for French came with it.
 New Years, in addition to mark ing a new year for French. is his birthday He therefore asked that the suit be ready by New Year. He was assured that it would be ready by that time-but, as usual. was not. Spring was drawing near if the suit was not So French changed his se- lection from a winter to a sumnnv. suit. January and February of this year dragged along, with slight va riation. Derr said the cloth was in lAit I@ApAtoS OllIS 1llt tudN IT fItAitt would let him have Si0 he would get f out and make him the suit. French gave him what he had-s4. Seen later Derr said he had been unable to raise the other money, S6, and that the goods had been sent back. French said the last promise he had from Derr was for the suit to be delivered on the Fourth of July, 1909.
 Derr took tht stand in his own de fense. claimed that he had delivered twenty three or four of the suits. and that he intended to deliver the others as soon as he could. The members Of the club who have not received the suits are offering their claims at bar gains, with no takers. Under the statute, however, Derr cannot be held, and upon motion of Assistant District Attorney Ed Flannigan, who appeared for the territory. the case was dis missed.

Giant Turtles-

Capturing giant turtles seems. to be a profitable business along the Maine coast. A 1,500-pouRd one was recently taken in those waters, and so great @ curiosity was it that the two captors promptly exchanged it for a perfectly good check for S250. The purchasers, present-day P. T. Barnums. hope to reap small fortune by exhibiting the turtle at various county fairs.

REPORTED VERY I'LL

City Recorder E. P. Brown has been
confined to his room for the past six
weeks suffering from an attack of kid
ney trouble During this time he has
not been able to attend to his official
duties, but the ailment was not
thought to be of particularly serl-
Gus nature until last Sunday. when
the attending doctors, Osgood and
Rich, came to the conclusion that IL
was necessary to perform a surgical
operation.
Mr.. Brown was taken to the hos
pital ON Sunday and the operation was
performed Monday morning. since
which time the patient has been In
precarous condition and Mr. Browns
life during the interim has been de-
SPARED Of Reports from relatives last
night we're, however, of an encourag
ing nature. They stated that the doc
tors reported him somewhat improved
and that they entertained strong
hopes Of his recovery.
Dr. Brown of Bountiful. d brother OF
the recorder, has been In attendance
since Sunday and he expresses a
strong hope and likelihood of his
brothers ultimate recovery. The pa
Iient has retained consciousness most
Of the time since the operation but is
considerably discouraged over his con
dltion Just what the ailment is can
not be definitely determined by the
physicians, except that complicated
kidney trouble prevails.

CHIEF MAIL CLEEK IN
PRECARI0US CONDITION

Robert Beare. who has acted as
chief mail clerk over the Union Pa
cifc railroad between Ogden and Chey-
enne, Wyoming. for a long period or
years. Is now confined to his bed at
Cheyenne suffering from an attack of
paralysis, occasioned by a general
weakness of the body because OF long,
continued service and by virtue of an
accident that befcll Mr.. Beare a few
months ago. 1t will be remembered
that not long ago. while trying TO
catch a mail sack from a crane at
DEVILS Gate, he was struck by the
crane and suffered broken shoulder
from the contact He recovered from
the accident, but was left In rather a
weakened condition because OF the
nervous shock.
About week ago while shaving
himself at his home at Cheyenne, a
blood vessel burst in his head and he
was rendered unconscious. Doctors
were brought to his aid and every
thing possible was done for him, but
paralysis ensued and he has since
been under its influence. A report to
his friends in Ogden yesterday was
to the effect that he is in a precari-
Gus condition and It is thought that
he may not survive the attack. Mr.,
Beare has many friends and acquaint-
ances in Ogden who Will be panied to
learn Of his condition.

HOLD ON To The
COUNTY POOR FARM

An old resident of Ogden writes
to The Examiner regarding the sale
OF portion OF the county poor farm
as contemplated by the commissions
ers as follows:
Editor Examiner notice in the
morning paper that our county com
missloners are wanting 10 sell a part
Of the county poor farm Now, as a
taxpayer of this county, | would pro-
test against such measure unless our
county Is badly In debt, for nothing is
better to hold than good farm land
with good water rights, especially
within eight miles of Ogden, where
there is good market for everything
farmer can raise and at good prices.
We see the great flood of immigrants
coming to the west on every train,
seeking for agricultural land AS a
sample of the rise OF good farm land
| will say when / left Illinois. in 1873,
the best OF farms were selling for $40
per acre. When | was back there. In
1907 the same farms were selling
for from 5000 to s225 per acre. and
it is getting to be so all over the coun-
try, so hold on to the county farm and
put 1t in good condition and 1t Will pay
better than any common interest
