BOuntiful was in total darkness for
several hours last night, as a result
of the wrecking of one of the high ten
sion wires of the Utah Light & Rail-
way cOmpanys string between Salt
Lake and ogden. A broken section of
the heavily charged copper strand was
/ blown across set of telegraph wires
near Woods Cross, and the telegraph
service was badly crippled for a time
as result. In Salt Lake during the
evening electric lights winked and
blinked nervously, as though undecided
whether to surrender to the gale.
Reports from Kaysville, Layton. Og-
den and other points in Weber and
Davis counties last night stated that
practically no damage had been done

speech Senator Clay took the floor. He
spoke in special opposition to the court
feature of the bin and the provisions
authorizing traffic agreements between
railroads and permitting combinations.
COntending the Crawford Elkins traf-
fic agreement provision would nullify
the antitrust law in its application TO
railroads Mr. Clay referred to the pros
eeution Of President Gompers and other
officials Of the American Federation of
Labor, and asked.
IF the labor organizations are bound
by the antitrust law, should the rail-
road magnates be eXempt?''
Senator Borah amplified his previous
argument TO show that the Crawford
Elkins provision vitiated the antitrust
law. He was followed by Mr.. CraW-
ford. who contended his section would
only exempt such agreements as are ap-
proved by the Interstate commerce
commission.
Messrs. Aldrich and Bailey engaged
in a prolonged controversy, during
which the Rhode Island senator asked
the Texan whether an agreement be-

or any relapse, and yesterday morn
ing he was around in a chair for sew
eral hours. AS late as $50 last night
| he appeared in the best of health, but
| an hour later the end came quietly and
suddenly.
Some weeks ago, when his death
seemed imminent, Mr.. McTernay sent
for Judge Harry Shields of Park City,
who drew up his will. McTernay was
50 low that he barely recognized life
long friends. There was no desire on
his part to have his will altered and
after brief period the patient became
unconscious. He recovered, however,
and frequently declared ne would leave
the hospital well man.
Estate Worth 100000.
The total value Of Mr.. McTernays
estate is estimated at 100000, not in
Guiding the Lady MoOrhouse mine, near
the Flagstaff mine at Alta, which,
though undevelOped, is believed to con-
tain untold riches. The owner has on
frequent occasions refused large offers
for the mining property. A sum of
$4,000 has been set aside in the will
for the education of four boys who
are distant relatives of the saloon man.
He had no immediate relatives. Other
details of the will cannot be made pub
lie until its filing for probate. 1t is
known, however, that there are many
requests TO charities.
James McTernay was born in Coun-
~ Leitrim, Ireland, 62 years ago. He
came to America when a young man
and, finding nothing in the east that
attracted him went to Helena, Mont
in 1867. There he entered the en-
ployment IF the firm of Sparks e Nc
Pherson as a team driver. Three years
later he came TO Utah and conducted
a boarding house for Mark DAILY in Dry
canyon. In 1872 McTeTnay took charge
of 2 saloon al Alta and had Just be-
come its owner. the following year,
when he purchased the Salt Lake Home
bar in Salt Lake. Later he became
proprietor of the Old Wave bar, still
later buying the Onyx bar from Harry

Among saloon men and aristocratic
patrons McTernay was regarded as a
philosopher and views he presented on

one time urged to turn his mind to
literature, but threw up his HANDS in
horror. He had never attempted TO
enter politics. adheriDg strictly to am
billions Of becoming d successful bust

The nearest Jim McTernay came TO
entering politics was handling a clear
ing house for election bets during cam
paignS for the last two decades. His
place OF business was always a pOpu-
lar rendezvous for politicians, and here
much political history was made-and
spoiled. The betting board at Meier
nays always contained Wagers in four
figures. and sometimes the heaviest
bets of the campaign were made at
his place, real money passing through
hands. 1t is said that in
one campaign nearly 100000 was put
in his keeping until after one election. |

ASSURANCES FROM RAILROADS,
 BETTER CONDITIONS COMING
Regarding a Change in the Wage
 Schedule.

New York. Jan. 24.-E. D. Slattery in charge of the campaign of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen for a different wage scale on all roads east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Chesapeake, said today that assurances had been received from all the railroads that better conditions would prevail.
 "The demands presented and refused last week were really for the purpose of reaching basis of negotiations, ," he said. Tt was not expected that they would be granted. But every one of the roads has asked for further con ferences and these are being held this week and will extend into next week. From these informal conferences wall issue a wage and time scale later to be officially presented in the name of the grand lodge of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
 "All the railroads. by their answers to the individual delegations which waited upon them, declared that they would give higher wages. It now re- mains to determine by arbitration what the higher wages shall be.
 We do not expect the railroads to pay us more than we are worth. They know that. It is simply a matter of arriving at a just figure. They admit that we are not getting now as much as we should, and there is not the least doubt that the whole matter will be adjusted amicably."
