number to be determined by the last
preceding federal census. provided
that all saloon licenses now In force
may be renewed by the present hold

are complied with, but that on the re-
vocation of any license, or the lapsing
of such license, no license shall be
granted to any one not already holding
license unless the increase of popu-

LORD NORTHLAND TESTlFIES
IN STIRLING DIVORCE CASE

Edinburgh. Feb. 4.-Tired Of having
his court turned into theater filed
with curious men and women. who
have seemed to regard the Stirling
Cross divorce cases as a lurid melo-
drama produced for their benefit
Judge Guthrie today closed the doors
on all except those directly identified
with the suits.
Lord Northland was on the stand
all morning. His evidence consisted
largely of fat denIals to the state
ments made by Mr.. Stirling and Mrs.
Atherton Mrs. Atherton, he assorted,
carried on a conspiracy to keep Mr..
Stirling and his wife epart. She even
pressed him to join Mrs. Stirling in
America in furtherance of her objects.
but he refused to go. He attributed
much of his attention TO Mrs Stirling
to his efforts TO cheer her up. par
ticularly as she had purchased a re-
volveT and, on half o. dozen occasions,
had threatened TO kin herself.
In the course of his cross-examina-
tion, Lord Northland admitted that ne
was attached to Mrs Stirling, but ne
said he did not love her. He had not
determined whether or not he would
marry her If she became free.
After the hearing of minor witnesses
who corroborated the statements OF
Lord Northland, the talting of evil
dence came 10 an end, The attorneys

The judgments were handed down
yesterday by Judge C. w Morse in the
district court and rings down the cur
tain on this famous case.
Since the filing OF suits by Mrs.
Hilton In 1893, the case has attracted
widespread interest. Nearly two
years ago Judge Morse ruled against
Mrs Hilton in two of her suits, but
these were carried TO the Supreme
court by n. V, Jones, attorney for
Mrs Hilton. 1t was held that on the
strength of a celestial marriage to
John r. Park. for years one OF the
leading educators of Utah, Mrs. Hill
ton was entitled to one-thlrd in all
of the properly sold by Park during
his life time on none of which deeds
of transfer did her name appear. The
Supreme court took the ground that
a celestial marriage was as binding
a. any other kind, and that Mrs. Hill
ton was rlghtfully the wife of Dr..
Park after she was Sealed TO him
through rites OF the Mormon church,
though not enacted in the Temple.
These two cases were Hilton against
Roy1ance and Hilton against Stewart

favor OF Mrs Hilton amounting to ap-
proximately $4,000 after the Supreme
court ruling and yesterday completed

GRAND THEATER HAS BEEN
A VERITABLE FIRE Bon
Special to The Tribune.

OGDEN, July 10.-Thc dismantllng
of the Grand theater by the contractors ,r,iL,,l
in the employ of the Orpheum TheatrI-
cal association, which now holds a lease
of the building, has disclosed that the
house has been veritable fire, trap.
The contractors now at work on the
building declare that the smokes'ach
of the boiler in the engine room lmme-
diately below the parquet was wlthln
a few inches of the woodwork with
nothing TO prevent n fire being com
municated from there TO the central por-
ton Of the house cutting oil pract1caly
every escape. In some places the IN
sulation has been worn from the cleo,
tric wires and evidence OF scorched
woodwork around these places have
been found. according TO those at work
on the building.
This apparent evidence Of gross neg
ligence on the part Of former manage
ments and the fire inspectors has been
the cause for much discussion today by
those who had not already become ac-
ouainLcd with the conditions ut the
local playhouse some time ago.

Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
OGDEN, July 1o.-The constant lay
offs at the local shops Of tho Southern
Pacific railroad which hayo apparently
become one OF the fixed institutions OF
the company, have resulted IN the com
pany losing some Of the best mon In Its
employ A number of machlnlsts who
have been with the Southern Pacific for
years have recently resigned their posi-
tions to accept Jobs with the Northern
Pacific at Billings, Missoula and other
division points. There are others who
contemplate doing likewise unless the
company can furnish them with steady
employment.
Today the usual week end layoff was
in force in several oe the departments
az the shops. Employees of the company
who have made their homes in Ogden
say that they cannot remain here un-
less they are allowed more working
davs at the local shops. 1t is hard to
understand what is the real cause OF
these E'enforced vacations - Sometimes
railroad officials say they are ordered
because the company desires TO keep
within its appropriation for the mani
tenance and operation department
AT other times the reason is advanced
that there is scarcity Of work, and a
lack of material which nccessltates the
running of the shops with half gorce
or shutting down for n while to allow
sufficient work TO accumulate. What
ever the cause may be, the railroad en-
pioyo who is willing and anxious TO
put in full time is the sufferer, and
many are leaving the city IS result
of this condition of affairs.
