ASSAULT MAN
GOES To JAIL
Razor User Held in Default
of $4,000 Bail.

Charged with atrocious assault
and carrying concealed weapons.
Lewige Roman was held under $3,-
900 bonds to await the action Of the
grand jury at hearing before Re-
corder Pickersgill this morning, in
default of which he was taken to the
county jail.
Roman, 1t will be remembered, is
the principal in serious cutting af-
fray which occurred Monday after
noon at Stanford street and Lehigh
avenue. He is charged with an
atrocious assault with razor upon
Frank Caroline, who now lies in the
city hospital with his head nearly
severed from his body.
Romans story of the affair is to
the effect that Gardine and his
friends have had 1t in for him for
some time Last summer, he says,
that these men attacked him while
enjoying social bottle of beer to-
gether and that Frank Gardine
struck him over the mouth. On
Monday, he says, he was coming
along apparently minding his own
business when the Gardine faction
met him and pushed him in the gut
ter. He reciprocated and the row
ensued, during which, he declares,
his opponents put the revolver found
upon him in his pocket, and which
has resulted in him being held un-
der $1,000 bail On a charge of car
rying concealed weapons.
Circumstances do not confirm Ro-
mans story, however. He is said to
have been hiding behind a fence
waiting for the Gardines. The po-
lice say his reputation is none too
good in the neighborhood OF his
home, 401 Ogden street. 1t is said
that he had threatened to cut his
fathers throat, should that gentle
man have refused him his daily
bread and butter for any reason,

Weber Counties Canal company today
was granted wit of mandate directed
against State Engineer Caleb Tanner. re-
quTing him TO refile an application for an
appropriation OF water from the Weber
river 10 be used for irrigation purposes
The order came in n decision by Dis
trlct Judge J. y. Howell Oh the demurrer
OF the state engineer TO the petition OF
the canal company,
From the facts alleged in the petition
il appears that the canal company, on
October g. filed an application for an ap-
preparation of several hundred second
feet OF water. Some technical error be-
ing discovered In the application, the
state engineer returned II 10 the appli-
cant with Instructions to use n different
blank. This was done and again errors
were found and the application returned
for correction. The amended application
was not returned until after sixty DAYS
had expired and the engineer promptly
lapsed the application.
The action was brought by the canal
company to compel the engineer to re-
file ihe application and to avoid the pay
n1ent OF additional fees which would aG-
sregate $2015O. The court holds that
the engineer erred in lapsing the appli-
cation and orders him TO reiile the appli-
cation.

IMPORTERS PREPARING
TO ENTER PROTEST

san FRANCISCO, March 3l.-The
announcement that Port Collector
Stratton will assess the maximum tariff
on all goods imported from China on
and after April ! and collect the high
est duty on all merchandise in bonded
warehouses on which the tax has not
been paid stirred commercial circles
yesterday aud importers, it is said, are
preparing TO enter protests.
Oriental merchandise valued at al
most - 100000 is stored in bonded
warehouses here and the steamship ST
IBERIA is due Friday morning immediate
ly after the maximum tariff goes into
effect. 1t may mean, IT is estimated,
an increased duty Of $4,000 on the
cargo.
The maximum duty which will be
levied on imports from China is % per
cent higher than the minimum, which
forms the basis Of the schedule fixed
by the Payne tariff law. Should the
action taken on the merchandise in the
warehouse by Collector Stratton be sus-
tanned by the treasury department 1t
Will make difference to Pacific coast
importers of about S250.000
