intended that the returns, original and
corrected, should be open to inspec-
ton, and in letter to the secretary of
the treasury he has suggested that. if
the construction which seems to him to
be the right one is to be carried into
execution, there must be an appropria-

brought into the Swope case when Mrs

ing confidence in her husbands innO-
cence and saying that Chrisman Swope
used Jordan's remedies. Jordan gave
his deposition after much protest, as

certainly they would not hurt my pa

BRIGHAM CITY
GETS MEETING
State Horticulturists Decide
Upon Place of Meeting in
1911 and Unanimously Re-
Elect Old Officers for Year.
WILLIAM LOEB. JR.

What, Ho for Brigham City" is
to be the slogan of members of the
Utah State Horticultural society I'M
til next year.
The final session Of the rousing
1910 convention here closed at Ar
mory hall yesterday afternoon.
Provo farmers and fruit growers
were on hand in large numbers at
the convention and that city received
strong support. The suggestion that
the convention be taken to Brigham
City for 1911 and to Provo the year
following finally won the day, how
ever, and the Strawberry City
gracefully retired in favor Of her
rival from the north.
Yesterdays sessions were devoted to
business. the election OF officers, selec-
ton of the next meeting place and the
reports Of different committees. In the
morning DR.. f. D. Ball of Logan made
an address on the orchard districts of
the west, and in the afternoon II. NJ.
Ellis, vice president of the Pioneer
Fruit company, Sacramento, Cal, dis
cussed at some length the pTObl0ns
with which shippers had to contend in
marketing fruit.
One of the most important matters
taken up at the meeting was the una
nimous approval Of the recommended
ton of the legislative committee that
committees from all the horticultural
associations of the western states hold
a meeting to discuss the features of the
Lapean bill, now pending in Congress,
which regulates the size of boxes to
be used for packing fruit and fixes the
classes Of all fruits packed. J. G. Duff
fin, in recommending the adoption of
this portion Of the report, stated that
the bill had been unanimously APP
proved by the Western Fruit JObbers'
association. Many of the packers, how
ever, he said, were not in favor of the
bill.
Officers Are Elected.
officers for the ensuing year were
elected just before adjournment of the
morning session, the existing officers
being retained for a second year with
out change, on recommendation of the
nominating committee, on the ground
would be better conserved by officers of
the society holding position for two
years, instead of for one. The officers
are as follows:
Moroni Mortensen, president; J. f.

Senators Called to the White
House by President, Who Is
Impatient Over Delay in
Putting Measures Through.
DECLARES SENATE is
MOVING TOO SLOWLY
Deadlock Between the East
and West Over the Postal
Savings Bank Bill the Chief.
Obstacle at Present Time.
CONFERENCE IS CALLED

Washington, Feb. 16-In effect. Presi-
dent Taft said to some of the Senate lead
ers whom he called TO the White House
today:
why don't you push measures to re
deem party pledges while the House is
dealing with appropriation bills? You are
moving too slowly"
1t is said he exhibited extreme i'm
patience with the degree of progress thus
iaT made toward the enactment Of ad-
ministratiOn bills
By way of result the senators were able
to announce tonight the following:
The almost hopeless tangle in which
the Root and SmOOt amendments have
ensnarled the postal savings bank bill
will receive attention at a conference to-
morrow in rooms of the finance COM
mittee, of which Senator AIdrich is chair
man. When whipped into shape. the pos
tai savings bank bin is to displaCe the
Alaskan legislative council bill as the IN
finished business, and the latter is to
be laid aside as involving problems that
cannot be solved at the present session.

Conference Today.

All afternoon senators entered Senator
Aldrich's room As a result Of these Wis
its, it was arranged to have conference
of wider scope tomorrow. At that time
will gather all senators who have intro
duced conflicting amendments to the pos
tai bank bill, and Republican
leaders have announced their determine
ton TO see the President through on his
program.
Senator Aldrich predicted tonight that
an agreement would be reached that
would bring to the support of the bill
enough Republicans to pass 1t.
Mr. Aldrich does not disguise that he
considers the problem exceedingly diff
cult On the one hand, Senator Root and
his followers are cOntending for pro-
vision Ike that contained in the Root
amendment, which would cOnstitutiOnally
justify the creation of the postal banks
by placing them under the borrowing
clause of the constitution.
On the other hand. many western sena-
tors take the position that such clause
would Inevitably have the effect of con-
centrating at Washington the vast fund
that it is expected the postal repositories
will bring out of hiding.
The two positions are ultTa-antagOnlstic,
and friends of the bill fear that unless
one side or the other gives way the bill
must fail.

Two Bills Not on Program.

This program includes neither the fed
eTal Incorporation bill nor ship subsidy
legislation, although the latter is likely
TO pass the Senate without much de-
bate, It viii! meet difficult hurdles in the
House.
Senators Carter. Borah and Beveridge
carried from the capitol President Tafts
views Of the delays encountered by bills
contained in his program. They reported
that there could he no mistakinE the
Presidents temper. The postal savings
bank bill gave him the most concern,
it is said, because the opposition that
had developed 10 such legislation did not
appear to him based on sound princi-
pies.
When the Senate adjourned today the
postal savings bank bill was in such a
tangle that no one was willing to prOph
esy its outcome, In truth, the adjourn
meut was brought about chiefly because
the Senate was not ready TO face the
situation in reference to this bill and
there was nothing else that could be con-
sidered, as the Alaskan bill was in
SnarI even more intricate.

Railroad Bill to Be Put Through.

The administration railroad bill is to
be reported from the committee on inter

PUTS BAN ON FAT MEN.
Chief Of Police O'Hare Declares That
He Does Not Want Fat Policemen.

Nobody loves the fat man" and
this is going to be particularly true in
connection with the employment of
three new men for the police force.
Chief O'Hare announced this morning
that he would not entertain applica-
lions from men for the new places on
the force if the applicants weighed more
than IT'S pounds. The chief declares
that he is simply following the lead of
other cities in making this discrimina-
ton against the corpulent ones as he
insists that fat man is not the kind
of man wanted for police duty. He
insists that this is not meant as re-
Election on the men now on the force
but that from now on he will seek
lean instead of fat men. There is but
one name on the eligible list at the
present time and it is probable that the
chief will select the new men and take
a chance of their being confirmed by
the Fire and Police Commission. Chief
Isermann is also looking for new men
for the fire department.

TO ORGANIZE A BAND
Rambler Concert Band to be Organized

kenosha is to have one of the finest

state as Charles T. Jeffrey of The
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company has en-
ployed Prof. Frank r. Jacoby who has
a reputation as band master to or

known as "The Rambler Concert

to secure forty musicians for the or
ganization and the band will be entire
iy under the patronage of The Thomas
B. Jeffrey Company. While it is de-
signed to be an advertising feature for
the company it promises to be a big
addition to the musical organizations of
the city. Director Jacoby has already
begun his search for players to 60 into
the organization and it is probable that
large number of the musicians will be
brought from other cities. The new
band will be organized at once and it
is expected that it will be ready for
it s first public appearance late in the
summer or early in the fall. No ex-
pense will be spared to make the band

Conley Sends Out Challenge
for 30 Round Battle With
Light Weight Champion
ST. JOE READY TO STAGE FIGHT

A determined effort is to be made to
bring frankie Conley the Kenosha ban
tam-weight champion and Ad. Wolgast
the lightweight champion together for
thirty round contest to be pulled off
at St. Joseph, Mo-, early in the month
of August. Conley and his manager
brother, Joe Conley arrived at st. Jo-
seph Tuesday on their return trip from
Los Angeles and they have stopped
there for an indefinite stay pending the
arrangements for the fight with VOL
CAST. In a telegram to the Evening
News this morning Manager Conley de-
clares that he has issued a formal chal-
lenge to Wolgast and that the st. Jo-
seph club has taken up the matter and
will offer a purse large enough to get
the two boys together. Conley declares
that he has twice defeated Wolgast not
withstanding the fact that Wolgast
was credited with draws on each oc-
casion and that he is more than willing
to 90 out of his class to meet the Michi
gan champion. Wolgast has been side
stepping Conley for the past two years,
in fact ever since he got his champion
ship crown he has refused to even
scrapper. He has declared repeatedly
that he is out of Conley class and that
he is unwilling to enter the ring with
him. Conley sent a wire to Wolgast to-
day offering to concede him weight and
offering to put up a substantial side bet
to clinch the fight. 1t is claimed that
the st. Joseph club will offer purse
of not less than ten thousand dollars
for fight between the two boys to be
pulled off in that city and it is de-
clared that there will be no trouble to
get a permit for thirty round bout
from the officials. Conley recent de
feat by Moran has not taken any OF the
fight out of him and it is certain that
should he go against Wolgast he would
have plenty of backing.
Conley in the meantime has been
matched for limited round bout with
Buck Plotel of st. Joseph and this fight
will be pulled off on next Saturday
night. After this bout Conley will
start for home if Wolgast refuses to
sign for the proposed fight at St. Jo-
seph.

was sinking for the last time Many
years ago Prof. Jacoby was a soldier in
the German army and during that time
he became an expert swimmer but as
