Navy Reorganization.

says, "a comprehensive plan for the
reorganization of the officers of all
corps of the navy will be presented
to congress, and / hope it will meet
with action suited to its urgency"
The appointment of an eminent as
tronomer as head of the naval obser-
vatory is recommended.
Costly Litigation.
President Taft says that in his judg-
ment, change in judicial procedure,
with view to reducing its expense to
private litigants in civil cases and
facilitating the dispatch of business
and final decision in both civil and
criminal cases, constitutes the great
est need in our American institu-
lions. II do not doubt for one mo-
ment that much of the lawless VIC
lence and cruelty exhibited in lynch
ings are directly due to uncertainties
and injustice growing out of the de-
lays in trials, judgments, and the
executions thereof by our courts" A
commission to consider reforms in the
judiciary is recommended,
lnjunctions.
The president recommended that
appropriate legislation relating to
the issuance of injunctions be adopt
ed. Previous notice and reason
able opportunity to be heard on behalf
of the parties to be enjoined are
urged by the president, with certain
exceptions.
President Taft refers to antitrust
and interstate commerce laws, which
he says will be discussed in a special
message.
Postal Deficit, Postal Banks.
The president says that the actual
loss growing out of the TRANSMISSION
of second class mail matter, which
includes not only newspapers, but
magazines and miscellaneous periodi-
Gals, at one cent pound, amounts to
about s63,000,000 a year. Congress
may well consider whether radical
steps should not be taken to reduce
the deficit in the postoffice depart
ment. A higher rate of postage it
is suggested, might be imposed upon
magazines and periodicals.
1.-THE second subject worthy of
mention in the postofice department
Is the necessity and practicability of
establishing postal savings banks
the message continues. President
Taft says he is convinced the people
desire such banks, and that they will
be productive of the utmost good.
"They will furnish a satisfactory sub

RICH HARVEST.
Supposed to be Drawn Here by the
Gncampment-More Officers Are
Called For.

The near approach Of the national
Grand Army encampment in the cap
ital city has apparently resulted In an
influx Of thieves. pickpockets and all
around crooks in Salt Lake. and the
overflow of this class Of parasitic vcr-
min from that city is noticeable at
present In Ogden. -RobberieS have
been of frequent occurrence around
about the Union passenger depot re-
Gently and this morning three differ
cnt men advised DepoJ Master John
Shields that their pockets had been
picked. One of the men claimed to
have been robbed OF 500 in cash and
his ticket. while the Other two vic
Tins reported comparatively small
losses.
Every effort possible Is being made
by Depot Master Shields and his stan
to protect passengers on incoming
and outgoing trains, but on the arriy-
al of numerous trains at nearly the
same time at the depot, passengers
transferring from one train TO anoth-
er surge forward in groups of hun

and right here IS where crooks turn
their tricks With grips or pack :

the travelling public and while jost-
ling forward employ their talent in
relieving the unwary of anything Of
value they can secure. The trick is
turned in an instant and. before the
victim is aware of his loss. the pick
pocket has disappeared IN the moving
throng. Half a dozen or more passen-
gers have been robbed in this manner
during the past three days and the
work will doubtless continue until Il
closer watch is kept on all suspicious

Every time a big event like the
Grand Army encampment comes OF.
there are hundreds of crooks from all
parts of the country VINO throng TO the
place Of celebration with an idea that
they are going to get rich quick and
easy Often times they carry out their
plans TO perfection. too.
For several weeks We have noticed
that the foremnners Of this most un-
desirable class were beginning TO ar
rive. and we have hustled them out Of
town as quickly as possible. Each day
we see new faces that don't looS good
TO us, and as soon as we find that
these people are hanging around with
nothing IN particular 10 do, we get
busy II these persons cant give a
good account Of themselves we arrest
them on a charge OF vaGrancy and If
they cant pay their fine they go to
the rock pile.
Last night we made round of the
gambling halls. saloons and other
dives, and found few fellows who
