DIRECTORS REPLY

Board Concerning Suit of
James H. BURNER.
DENY MERITS OF ACTION
AVER CORPORATION is HAM
PERED BY LITIGATION.

The suit of James H. BURNER against
the Irrigated Lands company and the
Price River Irrigation company was re-
piled to at a meeting of the boards of
directors of both companies yesterday,
and the following statement was issued:
1.-The directors of the Irrigated Lands
company regard Mr.. BURNERS suit as
another attempt to get something for
nothing. A similar suit was started
some months ago by other parties. II
failed in its purpose. The present COM
plant is based upon the allegations set
forth in the old action. The complaint
at that time asked for the appointment
Of a receiver, the same as BURNER
complaint now does.
MIR. BURNER is not worrying about
the alleged squandering of funds. He
has never furnished the company any
funds, except one 50-cent assessment on
his stock. Mr.. BURNER once owned 150
shares of stock in Irrigated Lands COM
pany. He has transferred seyenty-five

For more than four hours yesterday.
afternoon members of the state dairy
and food commission were in session
discussing the policy for the coming
year. Sanitation and better protection
for the public under the pure food laws
were dealt with and plans for better
ment of the service were laid.
1t was decided that the members OF
the commission should attend the pure
food convention 10 be held at Boise
April II and IL, when matters Of inter-
state Importance In the pure food Inns
will be taken up. The commission took
up the matter OF shipments into Utah
Of flour which is not properly labeled
as to weight. Commissioner Willard
Hansen, Jr., was notified to keep close
tab and report all violations.
Officers Of the Sweet Candy company
were before the beard TO show Gauss
why complaint should not be filed
against the firm because cones used
for ice cream contained saccharine. Il
was explained that the company pur-
chased the cones in San Francisco. This
excuse was accepted and Commissioner
Hansen was instructed 70 take the mat
ter up with the government pure food
commission.
Simeon Hansen, one OF the inspectors
for the department. rendered his resig-
nation, to take effect April l. He an
nounced that he had secured mora

holders of the Irrigated Lands company
gave BURNER his original $50 shares for

ITO the defendants it seems that the
suit is brought TO hamper the company

important allegations are brought on

alleges that the source of his informa-
ton is derived from an old action
against the defendants, which has been
dismissed. This former case was SO
weak that ii never came to trial, and we
believe this new action will share the
same fate.
There is no excuse for Mr.. Sawyer

There is no holiday in the year less
formal and yet more dear to the true
hearted Irishman than st. Patrick 5
day, and here 1t is once more-March
II, 1910, with the weather smiling on
it.
In Salt Lake 1t will be observed by
appropriate services at the Catholic
churches, where the oft-told history Of
the patron saint will he reiterated, per-
haps from a different viewpoint, as
there are many versions entwined in his
history.
Several dances are scheduled for to-
night.
There was a time, not so many years
ago, when St Patrick's day was OBJ
served by a pompous parade, headed
by the Ancient Order of Hibernians,

while the band played the ''Wearin' o.
the Green" but for some unexplained
reason such celebration has passed
away, generally.
However this may be, there is no true
Irishman in Salt Lake who will not
have the day in mind, and that, too,
bright and early.
Green will certainly be the prevailing
color on the streets today. Every loyal
Irishman via wear a bit of it in his
buttonhole. If he cannot obtain the
real thing from the Emerald Isle, he
will be satisfied with the best imita-
ton. There viii be green neckties and
green carnations.
st. Patrick loved the shamrock, and
it grows abundantly in Downpatrick,
where his ashes are supposed to repose

When she could no longer withstand
continuous abuse, in which it is alleged
that her life was frequently threatened.
Mrs. Laura Vandover Shaunty, hand
some young woman Of p years, az 11:10
o'clock yesterday forenoon, shot and
killed her husband, Paul P. Shaunty,
age %, a hospital corps private OF the
first class at Fort Douglas. The killing
took place in the kitchen of the quar-
tiers OF Captain Willis Uline, command
er OF c company. Fifteenth United
States infantry.
Several days ago Shaunty was given
a brief leave of absence. He did not
return until he had overstayed his
leave three days. He is alleged to have
made frequent demands upon his wife
for a portion of her small earnings, that
he might continue the spree.
Out of funds, he returned to the mill
tary post late Tuesday night and i'm
mediately began abusing his wife in the
quarters OF Captain Uline, because she
had not sent MIN money. When
Shaunty reported for duty at the reser-
walton hospital yesterday morning he
was placed under arrest, but broke his
guard and went directly to the kitchen
OF Captain Uline, where his wife was at
work.
During the two years that Shaunty
has been stationed at Fort Douglas, his
young vito has been employed as a
cook, first in the household of Captain
Frank NJ. Savage and then in that Of
Captain Uline. She was universally
liked, and knowing that she was sub
Ject to abuse at the hands of her hus-
band. officers in the neighbOrhOOd of
the Uline residence watched Shaunty as
me approached the kitchen yesterday
morning. They listened to a fiery ex-
change Of words between Private
Shaunty and his wife and finally Mrs
Shaunty, shaking her head determined
" and stating that she would not long
er listen, walked into the kitchen.
Shaunty Is Shot.
With clenched fists Private Shaunty
followed her and moment later a shot
rang out. Two more shots followed in
quick succession and Shaunty tumbled
headlong out of the kitchen door. Fall
ing against a stone, ne attempted to
rise, but another shot from the revolver
in the hands of Laura Shaunty killed
him instantly and he fell prone An
other shot was fired at the body by the
angered woman, but it missed its mark.
It. is believed that the first shot would
have proven fatal, as il entered Just
under the left nipple and probably pen
etrated the heart.
When the third shot had been fired
Lieutenant X. S. Snow, whose quarters
are close 10 those of Captain Uline
dashed to the latter's kitchen and found
Mrs. Shaunty leaning against a door
post staring at the body OF her husband
through flashing eyes and holding the
smoking revolver i'll her hand. The
lieutenant wrenched the revolver from

To the Irishman the shamrock repre-
sents all the religious, romantic. myth
cal and national ideas which ever
stirred the souls of his forefathers- st.
Patrick used the delicate little green
leaf to illustrate the Holy Trinity. 1t
was the great love of the plant that
inspired the beautiful ballad. 1.-THE
Wearin' o. the Green"
For the past ten years, under the in
fluence Of the Shamrock league. there
has been unprecedented demand for the
Irish national emblem. Several enter
prising Salt Lake florists have laid in
a supply and there will be many an
Irishman walking the streets today with
the real thing in the lapel of his coat.
Some enthusiastic Celts will dig up
their old bIackthorn sticks.

Indorse Administrations.

The article calling for the indOrse-
ment of the national, congressional,
state and county administrations, was
presented by Will McCrea, and an ef-
fort was made to lay it on the table.
When this was put to vote, however
only three voices were heard In favor
of it. Then the article was put to a
vote and carried almost by the unani-
nous vote of the assembled workers.
In the election of officers, the name
of DR.. F. E. Straup of Bingham was
presented by Harry Joseph, and Lon ].
Haddock presented that of VIII H. Fol-
land. Because Of the party work done
by Mr.. POLAND and the fact that he
lives in the city, the organization voted
for him as president. DR.. Straup was
then elected vice president.
There was no objection to the name
of w. f. Vigus for secretary.
W. w. Wilson, Steve Stanford and
Harry Joseph were named for treas
urer, but Mr.. Wilson withdrew because
he lives in the southern end Of the
county, and it was thought best to
have the treasurer in Salt Lake, in the
hope that he could collect better from
the party workers. Mr.. Joseph also
withdrew and Mr.. Stanford was named
by reclamation, declaring the while
TndI ne ndU Deeu al out toI 81 iOuS
that he would not know how il felt TO
be an ''in." At this Senator Carl A.
Badger suggested that as he was treas
urer he would probably be ''out" most
Of the time, anyway, so would feel
quite at home.
The mass meeting broke up into eau
cuses of the several city precincts and
of the county. The name Of II. S. Jo-
seph was suggested in the fourth pre-
cinct as member of the executive COM
mittee, but Edwards won. about two
to one
After the first few moments of the
meeting, when Mr.. Joseph was outlin-
ing the plans of the organization, the
gathering of Republicans formed one OF
the most enthusiastic meetings in years
and assured harmonious and solid
front for the campaign this fall.

vention and arranged, but that the

He wanted to know why the real he-

to vote their confidence in the county
officials,
VIII NJ. McCrea took a vigorous
stand against the statements of Harry
Joseph and declared that it appeared
to him that it was merely because Mr.
Joseph had some personal crouch. he
declared that the crouch, whether we'll
founded or not, was a thing Of the past
and that the purpose of the organlza-
ton should be to look into the future
and TO prepare for the fights that are
to come. to work in harmony with the
county organization. He declared that
any member of the party could well
come forward and indOrse the several
Republican administrations from the
top to the bottom.
Col. NJ. M. Kaighn warned the party
workers against a break at this time.
He pointed out that this year, midway
between presidential elections, the party
would need all of the support Of the
members Of the working force. He said
the officers elected by the party were
credit to the organization, admitting
that they might have made some mis-
takes.
