And now n word on the Gorsedd itself. On
the Logan Stone the ArchDruid Dyfed was at

others in blue, and the Ovates In green. The
twelve chief bards stood by their sacred unhewn
stones. Ancient prayers were recited. The huge
Brythonic sword OF peace was drawn and
sheatned three times with the question by the
ArchDruld, "A bes Heddwch?" to which all pres
ent responded by a shout "Heddwch!" ("Peace')
After each shout of "Heddwch!" the sword
sheathed and the draught of mead from the
'Hrlas" horn was drunk by the Arch-Drud. Then
followed the initiation of new mombers into the
Gorsedd and short Englynion (alliterative stan.

RECORD IN
THE PAST NINE YEARS
Gives New Bond of $4,000 and Be-
gins Another Term Mon
day Morning.

The popularity Of the law governing
the tenure of Office of collector OF
United States revenue made it possible
yesterday for E. H. Callister, who for
almost nine years has collected the gov
eminent revenue in the states Of Utah.
Montana and Idaho, TO give a new bond
Of $4,000 and turn the office over to
himself. OF course, this action was
with the approval Of President ". H.
Taft
Monday morning, when Mr.. CaHister
enters on what is equivalent to a new
term of four years, he will start in Just
as though the Office had been turned
over to another individual, and he will
open up new accounts between himself
and the government.
His many friends in Salt Lake will
shake hands and congratulate him
The law in relation to Office of rev.
enue collectors is peculiar in that he
serves until his successor is appoint
ed and qualities. He is. however, re-
quired to give a new bond every four
years. His accounts are audited and
the transfer of the office IS made Just
as though It were being made TO a new
appOintee. Revenue Agent Boulder OF
Washington has been in Salt Lake for
several days, checking up the books in
the local office. He completed his work
at II o'clock last night and found the
office to be in perfect condition, and so
reported to the department at Wash
ington. Mr.. Callister's new bond has
been approved, and tomorrow morning
he starts on a new term of Office.
Transfers to Himself.
When a revenue collector is notified
to file new bond and transfers the Of
fee to himself on a certain day, u
means that ii is. the pleasure of the
President of the United States that he
continue in that position. It is equiva-
lent to the Endorsement OF the senator's

The disposition of the government il
to keep revenue collectors in the serv-

requires years TO learn the intricacies
of their office; for this reason the law

Mr. Mcdonald declined to state the
purchase price, but IT is known. that
property in that immediate vicinity is
held at $500 a front foot. Mr.. Lane
from whom the property was pur-
chased, is travelling salesman. He has
other large real estate holdings in Salt
Lake and in Idaho towns. 1t is said
that the Mcdonald company has been
endeavoring to close the deal for sew
erai weeks.
Mr.. Mcdonald said last night that
plans for the utilization of the newly
acquired ground adjoining the present
site of the big candy factory have not
crystallized to an extent whereby he
felt at liberty to make them public. but
that he would be able to do so shortly.

WOULD SET A PRECEDENT

Kansas City, April 30.-Whether poi
son caused the deaths Of Colonel Thorn
as H and Chrisman Swope may yet
be determined by a commission Of
medical experts appointed by Judge
Ralph S. Latshaw, presiding judge at
the Hyde murder trial.
Provided 1t is within his power, the
court suggested today to the attor-
neys IN the case, that he would be
willing to select several competent and
unbiased scientists to make an inveS-
tigation on the parts Of the viscera
of the two men which have not yet
been examined by the scientists en-
pIoyed by the prosecution The court
will announce Monday whether II be-
iieves such action would be legal on
its part.
DR.. Hyde's attorneys refuse to state
whether this plan of procedure would
be satisfactory with them. They will
probably issue a statement after a con-
sultation set for tomorrow, they said
tonight.
Prosecutor Conkling says he is will
ing that any commission the court may
appoint shall make an investigation
The suggestion of Judge Latshaw came
after long debate today over the re-
fusal of the doctors to relinquish parts
of the viscera to chemists employed
by the defense. This demand preceded
an Indictment in the case and was made
while the organs were in Chicago.
Judge Latshaw will also report Mon
day on whether he believes this tes
timony TO be admissible.
