BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The week past has been the first
full week of census taking. Progress
is rather slow in this, as we hear
and with omissions that ought 10 be
| repaired. IT is to be hoped that the
Census Supervisor will be alert to re.
pair all defects and TO insist on a full
enumeration. 1t must be remembered
that this sort of work is absolutely
new to all concerned The Supervisor
himself, while having made MS complete
to do, is also new in the work. From
none but long-trained experts can APP
proSimate perfection be expected: but
with the help and active cooperation
of all the citizenship, there ought TO
be satisfactory census return from
Salt Lake.
The building activity which has been
so prominent feature OF the city the
last three years, continues with un.
abated vigor. Along with il the real
estate market is in good form, and
with satisfactory feeling in the mar
ket Of confidence for the future. The
real estate market for the week has
been normal. with no deals over $40.
600 completed. Several important deals
are pending however. including the sale
of large lot near Seventh South and
Main streets for $4,000. The sale OF
one residence for $4,000 has also been
practically completed during the week.
A continued demand for improved
residence property in all parts of the
city is noted by brokers, with much
activity in additions Rapid progress is
being made on the erection of the
kearns building, Utah hotel, and the
Newhouse hotel. Work on the Peerv

be started in the near future The
Auerbachs will probably let contracts

and work on the Newhouse theater will
be resumed as soon as complete speci-

than the supply, and this condition has
been the cause of postponing some

the course of the great aerial cross
country competition and was easily
won by man. A flock of At carrier
pigeons was released at Douia at the

HOW NOT TO DO IT.
Colorado Legislature VIII Merely Pre-
tend to Fulfill Party Pledges.

Denver, Col, Aug. 16.-Ar initiative
measure, which, it is asserted, is ultra
conservative and will make but little
change in existing conditions. was
agreed upon at a caucus of the Demo-
cratic senators early today. who met to
agree upon the legislation to be enact
ed at the present special session of the
state legislature. The measure will call
for a petition to be signed by 10 per
cent of the voters for governor at the
last election in two thirds of the coun-
ties.
The caucus resulted in a complete de-
feat of those who advocated the eraot-
ment of all tie party's prediction
pledges, for which the extra session
was called by Governor Shafroth and
victory for the Senator Hughes
Mayor Speer crowd which advocates a
redemption of pledges on the most con-
Servative basis.
1t is thought there will be the same
lineup of Democratic senators with re-
spect to each Of the other six measures
to be considered and that they will not
be as vigorous as the governor desired.
Another caucus, it is believed will be
held late today to consider the referen-
dunn measure.

COL. AMES WAS DRUNK.
That Is All the Court Martial Found
Against Him.

Manila, Aug. 16.-The findings in
the case of Lieutenant Colonel Ames,
who was court martialed following the
investigation of the suicide at his home
of Lieutenant Clarence M. Janney,
were published here today. Lieutenant
Colonel Ames according to the findings
was acquitted on the principal charges
of conduct unbecoming an officer and
conduct prejudicial to military disci-
pline, but was found guilty of drunk
enness and sentenced to the loss of 2
numbers in his relative rank in the
rmy.
General Ramsey from the post COM
manding the department of Luzon in
the review of the findings severely
criticized the court of which Brigadier
General John w. Pershing was presi-
dent.
Lieutenant Colonel Ames already
has returned to duty with his COM
mand, the Twelfth infantry.
According to this testimony Janney
and his wife quarreled with guests at
the Ames home and Janney soht him
self while in the presence of Mrs. jan
ney and Ames, who were the only wit
nesses to the tragedy.

CAUSES A VACANCY.
Friction Between Standpatters and In
surgents Makes Candidate Resign.

Holden, Mo-, Aug. 16.-Friction over
the tactics of the Republican congress
sional committee has led F. H. Devol
of Holden to decline the nomination
for representative from the Sixth Mis-
souri, district, given him at the recent
primary.
Devol is a minister. He was the
candidate chosen by the congressional
committee and entered the race with
avowed progressive Republican ideas.
This did not coincide with the views of
the committee and Devol was induced
to switch to a standpat platform. His
deciination is attributed to the fact
that there has been wide condemna-
ton among the voters of his adoption
of the conservative ideas. A commit
tee will choose another nominee today
in Trenton.

tions, reporters have asked Mr.. Hurley
for facts that might be illustrated with
anecdote and reminiscence, but to all
he turned a deaf ear. He quietly but
firmly declined to talk with reporters
on such topics.
Mr.. Hurley was an extremely modest
man in regard 10 personal matters and
wholly urostentatious in his makeup.
He had no time to talk about himself
for he was an untiring worker, full of
energy, ard 30 obstacle appeared too
big to be surfnounted. He mapped out
a campaign and hewed to the line re-
gardless of consequences. However, it
is likely that there is not a man on
the road who was more wholesomely
liked than Mr.. Hurley.
How He Was Educated.
Mr.. Hurley was disIinctively a sell
made and a self-educated man The
secret of his phenomenal success in life
is explained in telling of the manner
in which he acquired an education. The
story Of his early struggles for know
ledge is full of pluck and energy, and
in this connection it may be said that
notwithstanding the fact that Mr.. Hur-
ley began to climb the ladder to sue
cess, starting from the very lowest rung
as tracknan on the section. he was
well equipped with an education when
he made that start, and that fact to-
gether with his indomitablC Will. has
carried him through every stage of his
advancement.
Mr.. Hurley was the youngest of the
sons of DR. John Hurley of Wapello.
Iowa The brother next nearest his
age was II years older, and for this
reason he was somewhat at loss when
a boy, for a companion in either of his
brothers.
Being by himself a great deal in his
home life he developed an exceptional
mental capacity at an early age. and
became a logical thinker His ca
pacity in this direction broadened as
he grew older, and he was reckoned
as one of the broadest and most pro-
gressive of the western railroad men
Mr.. Hurley completed the school
work as far as it was carried in the
public schools at Wapello at the age
of IL years. At that time he passed
the examination given by the county
superintendent and received GER
tificate permitting him to teach school
in Louisa county, Iowa. He saw the
necessity of a better education and
decided to strike out for himself and
make his own way through college
and through the world. He decided TO
attend the State Normal school Of
Iowa at Bloomfield and before he was
13 years of age he was enrolled as a
student at that institution.

The New York Republican State
Central Committee
Defeats Motion Making Roose.
veIt Temporary Chairman.
THE VOTE is 90 TO Is.
Vice President Sherman L
Chosen Unanimously.
The Convention Is Called for
Saratoga Sept. %.

New York, Aug. 16.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt's name was presented
for the office of temporary chairman
of the Republican state convention at
the meeting of the Republican state
convention today, but his selection for
that honor was lost by a vote of 20
tolls.
Vice President James S. Sherman
was named as temporary chairman Of
the coming state convention by
unanimous vote following the defeat
of the motion to make Colonel Roose-
velt the temporary presiding officer of
The committee selected Saratoga
and September 27 as the place and
time for the convention.
After the meeting had been called
to order and the time and place of the
state convention had been chosen, VIII
liam ]. Barnes, jr., of Albany, offered
a resolution presenting the name OF
Vice President Sherman for temporary
chairman of the state convention
Lloyd G. Griscom moved to subSt1-
tute the name OF Colonel Roosevelt and
also moved that the vote be postponed
until later. After much debate the
motion to postpone was defeated by a
vote of IL to %. The resolution TO
make Colonel Roosevelt temporary
chairman was then lost by vote of
20 to Is, following which Vice Presi-
dent Sherman was unanimously
chosen, Mr. Griscom and Henry Mack
of New York not voting.
The state committee then adjourned
to meet Monday evening, September
26, in Saratoga.
Griscom's Comment.
Commenting on the action of the
committee in rejecting the name OF
former President Roosevelt, Mr. Grls-
com said:
President Roosevelt after consulting
with him. The place of the temporary
chairman was his not only by virtue
of his having been president of the
United States, but by the signal serv-
ices rendered by him to the Repub-
lican party in New York state. Mr..
Roosevelt was anxious to engage in the
politicaEcampaign in this state and his
place at-the head of the convention
would have lent extraordinary prestige
to the meeting and been of incalculable
value to the party throughout the
state.
s"The action foreshadows a great
many primary contests, as it is obvious
that those voting to deny him the office
of temporary chairman will have to
account to the enrolled Republicans of
their respective districts for their &C
ton.
There was no question of endorsing
or not endorsing the administration.
If an effort is made to show that the
choice of Vice President Sherman is
an endorsement, whereas the choice
of Colonel Roosevelt would not have
been, it must of necessity fail, as Mr.,
Roosevelts views regarding the con-
duct of public affairs by his successor
are we'll known"

welt came in from Oyster Bay today
