TO MAKE TWO UTAH
RIVERS NAVIGABLE
GOVERNMENT ENGINEER COM
PLETES SURVEYS
Salt Lake. City Man Proposes to OPP
crate Steamers on Green
River for Distance of
1875 Miles

A report is being forwarded to Wash
ington by Lieutenant Leeds, United
States engineer with headquarters in
Los Angeles, on the advisability of the
government making the Grand and
Green rivers in eastern Utah further
navigable. D. E. Hughes, assistant
engineer, several weeks ago made sur
veys of the rivers on instructions from
Washington, and it is the basis of his
findings that are now on their way
east. AS tributaries of the Colorado
river, the Grand and Green rivers come
under the territory of Leeds.
Some time ago T. G.. WINNER of Salt
Lake City, owner of thousands of acres
along the banks of the two rivers,
called on Lieutenant Leeds and told
the government engineer that it was
his intention to put in operation
steamboat line between the towns of
Moab on the Grand and Green River
on the Green river, 125 miles above the
junction of the two rivers where they
form the Colorado. The operation of
such line would make thousands of
the most fertile acres in Utah acces
sible to the western markets and ac-
commodate hundreds of farmers. While
admitting the rivers are at the pres
ent navigable to a degree, WINNER eX-
planned to Leeds that before putting
such a line in operation he would like
to feel that the rivers were thorough
ly naVigable. He said that his boat
line would cost $4,000.
In statement yesterday afternoon
WINNER said he had planted half of
a 2000-acre ranch about twenty-five
miles below the town of Green River
to fruit and that the section would be
a productive fruit center
81 control 100000 acres more, forming
a strip mile wide on each side of the
Colorado river" he said. This is
where the river flows through can
yon, however, and it will be necessary
to lift water 800 feet to get it up on
the mesa.
There are about 10000 acres along
the river in the canyon, and it is to
develop this and to settle it that I pro-
pose the boat line There are 5000 acres
of the same kind of land along the
Grand up to -Eoab.'
WINNER says the fruit in this To-
cality from the new orchards is just
coming into bearing and as yet he can
not say what it will bring, but that
orchards around Grand Junction last
year brought $3.50 an acre. Nearly
1000 acres of orchard will bear this
year in the vicinity of Green River.

PRECEDENT is FOUND IN
CRUISER CHARLESTON CASE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-EXamina-
ton of precedents at the navy depart
ment has convinced officials that there
can be no ground for protest by coun-
sci for Passed Assistant Surgeon A. H.
Robnett against the sentence of court
martial in his case based upon the
plea that this constituted double pun
ishment in view of the reprimand
previously administered.
In 1906 a sailor was accidentally
killed in a launch in Cavite bay by
some one on the cruiser Charleston,
then engaged in sub-calibre practice.
The executive officer Of the Charles
ton received a formal letter of repri-
mand from the naval commander of
the station. When the records reached
Washington the secretary of the navy
ordered the trial of the officers by
courtmartial
The plea of double punishment was
set up, but the attorney general rem
dered a decision, since accepted with
out question by the navy department,
that such letter did not constitute a
punishment in the sense intended by
naval regulations.

TROLLEY LINES ARE
GRILLED FOR SPEED
Local Attorney Shows How Families
Are Made DesoIate Because
of Reckless Car
Schedule

In a statement made to The Herald
yesterday Attorney Sperry Baker ar
raigned the railway companies, partic-
ularly the Pacific Electric Railway
company, for failure to provide safety
appliances at crossings and for dis
obedience of the speed ordinances of
the city. The unreasonableness of al
lowing dividends on "watered stock
to outweigh in the balance the lives of
many people was bitterly set forth by
Mr.. Baker. He also attacked the infor-
nation furnished by the general man
ager of the Pacific Electric company to
the public utilities commission that
compliance with the speed ordinance
would disarrange the schedule govern
ing the operation of the company s
passenger cars. Mr.. Bakers statement
follows:
cat the hearing before the public
utilities commission upon the petition
of the Sixth Ward Central Improve
ment association last Friday the COM
mission was informed by the general
manager of the Pacific Electric COM
pany that to obey the speed ordinance
of the city would 'disarrange' the
schedule governing the operation of its
passenger cars. And the same infor-
nation Is given to the public in the
Los Angeles Times of last Saturday.
Last April one of my neighbors was
killed by a Whittier car at the Vernon
avenue crossing. And his remains were
horribly mangled.
Last July another neighbor was
killed by Long Beach car at the same
crossing, and his mangled remains
were run over by two cars and scat
tered along down the line. Since then
two others have been killed by the
cars of this company between Ninth
street and Vernon avenue. By disobe-
dience of the speed ordinance the COM
pany has sadly 'disarranged' the do
mestic affairs of four families, And yet
no safeguards are provided at these
dangerous crossings; no flag man, no
gate. no bell, no slowing of speed for
the crossing. The company answers
the wall of the widow and the cry of
the orphan with the chilly reply, The
public demands rapid transit
1.-THE truth is, the public demands its
fright to use the public streets of the
city with reasonable degree of safety.
The public demands protection for life
and a chance to sit down when riding
in a street car. The cry for rapid tran
sit at the expense of human life comes
from the railroad people and the speed
maniacs. The railroad people save
money and increase their dividends by
violating the speed ordinance and kill
ing people. They save the expense of
additional cars and crews.
"Shall dividends on watered stock out
weigh in the balance human life?
This question is now for the city coun-
ell to consider Let Los Angeles be
made a safer place for people to stay
whwl they come to enjoy our salubrious
climate and incidentally spend their
money among u.s."

STEAMSHIP LINES PLAN
EXCURSIONS TO MEXICO
Efforts to Develop Business at Los
Angeles Harbor Result in
Rate Reductions

The Alaska-Pacific Steamship COM
pany yesterday opened its new Offices
in the Salt Lake railroads city Office
on South Spring street. This COM
pany's interests in Los Angeles have
been looked after by the Independent
lines agent, but growing business
forced them to open headquarters for
themselves.
The Independent Steamship company
also occupied new quarters yesterday,
being now located at $50 South Spring
street.
Two of the steamship companies
which operate vessels touching at San
Pedro have announced excursions to
the west coast of Mexico for next
month. They are the Jebsen line,
which will run the steamer Ella from
San Pedro March 2. and the Pacific
Coast Steamship company, whose boat,
the Senator, will leave March 9.
The Jebsen boat will go down as far
as Nicaragua, stopping at the princi-
pal ports en- route. On the return trip
the steamer will put in at Salina Cruz,
from where the passengers will go by
rail to Mexico City, Guadalajara and
other interior towns. They will meet
the Ella again at Manzanillo and sail
for San Pedro. The whole trip includ-
ing the inland journey, will cost STA.
The Pacific Coast company will run
from San Pedro to La Paz, stopping at
Ensenada, San Jose del Cabo and Ma
zatlan on the way. This trip will take
about eighteen days, and the fare is
SIS. Both companies are running
these excursions in an effort to de-
velop regular tourist travel to Mex
leo from Los Angeles harbor.

CHANGE REGULATIONS OF
ARMY REGARDING HEIGHT
Ambitious Enlisted Men Now Able to
Qualify for Higher Places
in the Service

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-President
Roosevelt thought that army officers
should be comparatively tall men. So
he made a change in the army regula-
tions providing that candidates for ad-
mission must be at least five feet, five
inches in height. Now it happens that
private soldier may be enlisted
though considerably shorter than this,
yet the law authorizes the promotion
to commissioned rank of a certain
number of privates who can pass the
severe technical examinations pre-
scribed.
Naturally, Mr.. Roosevelt's order has
led to great complaint from a number
of ambitious enlisted men, who, in
many cases. entered the ranks with
the single purpose of working for a
commission. Therefore the regulations
have been changed during the last
week so as to omit the requirement as
to height.

BOY SAVED FROM JAIL
BY HONESTY OF MOTHER
Appeal of Parent Obtains for Errng
Youth Suspension of 1870
Days Sentence

The honesty of Mrs. Mary Ward,
who advertised and insisted on making
an effort to locate the owner of a
watch which her son, r. L. Ward,
told her he had found, led to the ar
rest of the latter on a charge of petty
larceny, and her appeal in his behalf
also resulted in his being released on a
suspended sentence of 1S0 days in jail
when the matter was brought up in
police court yesterday morning.
Ward is accused of having entered
cigar store in Fifth street and stealing
a watch. He took the watch to his
home, and when questioned by his
mother told her he had found it, She
took it from him and advertised for
the owner. When the owner appeared
and claimed it he also recognized Ward
as having been in the store, and took
up the matter with the police.

OPENING AULD CASE
Second Trial and Double Punishment
for Single offense Is consid-
cred Question That
Needs Settling

reasons for reopenlng the Auld-Rob-
nett courtmartial were explained today
by Joseph Aud, father of Paymaster
George p. Aud, U. S. N, recently
tried by a courtmartial on charges
growing out of an alleged assault on
DIR. Edward S. Cowles, a civilian of
Boston. He said;
1.-The very serious question of a sec
ond trial and double punishment for
single offense should be settled, and
am glad that 1t is to be appealed
to the higher authority.
1.-The contention was the same in
both the Auld and the Robnett cases.
The Aud case was finally settled so
satisfactorily that 1 did not think it
necessary to press the matter further.
At the same time 1 believe the mat
ter should be settled for all time"
