SHERIFF SHARP WANTS
SUBWAY To PRISON
Underground Route Would Be
Protection i'm Case of Mob
Violence.

Sheriff Sharp will urge the county
commissioners to fix up the subway lead
ing from point close to his office in
the City and County building to the
building heating plant on the east side
of Second East street, midway between
Fourth and Fifth South sereets. to give
the new county Jail an underground con-
nection with the sheriff's office in the
joint building.
The subway which would be close to
seven feet in height and about four feet
wide. would cost the county probably
less than $4,000, Sheriff Sharp says. in
asmuch as prisoners In the county jail
could be employed to remove the dirt
from the tunnel. leaving only cost
along this line Of hauling away the dirt
removed from the tunnel. The concrct-
ing of the tunnel and its lighting would
require about the only outlay OF actual
money on the county's part, the sheriff
thinks.
I'VE have a number OF what might
be termed bad men In the county iai
all the time said Sheriff Sharp Wed
nesday. ''and the subway would help tc
defeat possible mob vengeance as vel
as TO lessen the chances of escape or
the part Of prisoners. Just one such in
cident would return the cost OF the tun-
mel to the county"

CITY ATTORNEYS OPINION
ON DEFAULT JUDGMENT

City Attorney II, J. Dininny Wednesday
gave City Recorder Benjamin s. RiVos
n written opinion To the effect that the
recorder, who is eX-officIo clerk of the
civil division OF the city court, and the
deputies OF the court may be man.
damused for refusal, in pursuance To
Judge Bowman's order, TO enter default
judgments in suits arising out OF con
tracts for the recovery OF damages or
money, but the clerk and the deputies
are not liable on their bonds for refusal
10 enter such judgments. thinks Mr..
Dinnny.
Tho city attorney says nothing about
the constitutionality of the law provld
Ing for the entry OF such judgments by
the clerk or the court deputies. but In
an oral opinion Mr.. Dininny said Wcdnes-
day Afternoon that the law undoubtedly
Is constitutional. The question has been
raised few times, but in practically every
instance the law has been held consti-
tutional on the ground that the action
OF the clerk or deputies in entering such
judgments purely Is ministerial and as
such Is an act OF the court
1t is likely. though. that the matter
will be carried TO the supreme court in
test case to set all doubts at rest.
although in territorial days the law was
held constitutional by the supreme court.

RECORDER RIVES THINKS
BAILIFF is UNNECESSARY

City Recorder Benjamin S. Rives thinks
that IL would be unwise for the city
from n pecuniary standpoint to establish
the office OF bailiff In the civil division
Of the city court In response TO Judge
]. NJ. Bowman's request for ballif.
In communication that Mr.. Rlvcs
Is sending to the council with Judge
Bowman's application for the appoint
rnent Of n bailfG he says that there were
only two jury trials in 1909 and thus
far in 1910 there has been but one such
trial. The cost in each case was $3.50:
Of which $3.50 was for jury fees and
S4.20 for service fees, paid 10 the sheriff S
office.
The cost OF a bailiff would be $50 a
month ut the lowest fgure: Mr., Rives
thinks. and IL would be difficult to pro-
cure one even at that figure, The clerks
employed by his office as deputies In
the civil city court heretofore have been
willing to serve as baiifrs except 10
summoning Jurors, and il is Mr.. Rives S
opinion that no innovation should be
attempted at this time. inesmuch as jury
trials nre not freuueut

ECLIPSE OF MOON VIEWED
BY CHARMED SPECTATORS

The residents OF this city who failed
to see the partial eclipse Of the moon
test spectacles ever viewed here. When
the moon arose over the mountains in
the east about 10 O'Clock II had the ap-
pearance OF huge ball of fire and across
the south half of the orb the earth cast
dark shadow, making an exceedingly
pretty sight.
AS ii rose higher in the sky the moon
seemed TO decrease in size and the shad-
ow OF the earth. which caused the eclipse.
gradually passed OFF Of its face until the
moon passed through the shadow and
resumed Its normal brilliancy. When ii
WAS first seen oyer the top OF the noun
tains many spectators were OF the opin-
ion that Utah was being visited by u
forest fire. such as has played so much
havoc in the Northwest during the last
week but as more of the moon became
moon was in partial eclipse.
