the division of profits first was dis
cussed between Oswald, Harper and
Kern. The triumph seemed trivial in
itself, but Appel, after his battling ex-
perience with the witness through the
past three days, seemed to take great
comfort from it.
The cross-examination was aban-
doned suddenly at 3:O5 p. m, after
half an hour had been spent in trying
to strengthen the point.
Newspapers Called in Conference
In the redirect examination of the
witness Joseph Ford propounded ques-
tions regarding Mayor Harper's efforts
to utilize the newspapers in connection
with the redlight deal, each of the
questions being objected to by Judge
j. w. Mckinley, who seemed quite
pleased to get to work again in the
court proceedings.
Harper told me-" said the witness,
lin January or February, 1907, that he
would see representatives of the news
papers and try to swing the papers into
line for the segregation of the prosti-
tutes. A conference was held, he told
me afterward with all the papers rep

aid, until attention was called to the
fact that the incident occurred before
the change of management.
Because of the refusal of two of the
papers to acquiesce in the purpose of
the mayor, and the former notorious
ness of the Ballerino district, the plan
to keep that district open was aban-
doned.
Oswald testified that in February or
early in March, 1909, District Attorney
J. D. Fredericks had told him the red
light district must not reopen.
Il told Harper" the witness contin-
ued, land he said he would see Fred
ericks. Afterward he told me he had
seen him, but Fredericks said he would
rot allow the reopening of the district.
Harper told me he would try again the
next time he saw Fredericks Harper
said to me, You know I'd let you run
if 1 could"
Regarding his income from the red
light district in 1908, from January to
August, Oswald stated that it ranged
from $4,000 to $4,000 a month.
On recross-e examination Appel asked
If the district was opened during Elks

by Ford, who then withdrew the OBJ

Twenty-Five Bands in Line
Scattered through the line were twen-

kept up a continuous rhythm of music
to the accompaniment of the steady
beat of feet.
For seven blocks the veterans
marched to Seventh South and Main
streets on the west side, where they
were greeted with a living flag, so by
50 feet, composed of 1900 boys and girls
dressed in red, white and blue.
A wave of enthusiasm was produced
as the veterans passed by one section
of the boys and girls standing, while
another stopped low enough to become
temporarily invisible.
When Utah passed the living flag the
children composing the latter took po-
sition in the rear of the line and the
parade began its Countermarch by tho
