TARIFF NEGOTIATIONS
Existing Arrangement With Germany
May Be Continued Another Year.

May Be Continued Another Year.
Berlin, Jan. 25.-The movement in
America looking for the boycott OF
meat is regarded here as coming at
the correct psychological moment Of
the tariff negotiations between the
United States and Germany on the
meat questions. The newspapers, al
though they refrain from commenting
on the situation in the United States,
print long cable dispatches about the
movement and are following the sit
uation closely. Its importance both
in stiffening the back of the German
government and in lessening the dis
position of the American government
to support the meat trust interests,
even at the risk of tariff war, Is gem
orally recognized.
A note from Washington reached
the foreign Office on Saturday and was
today laid before a meeting of the so
called economic councils. This body
consists of a collection of experts,
leading industrial merchants and
bankers and acts as an advisory com
mittee to the foreign office.
1t is impossible to obtain definite
information as to the contents OF the
American note, but the correspondent
of the Sun is informed that the belief
is strongly held in banking circles
that the existing provisorium will be
extended for one year.

Ithaca, N. Y, Jan. 25. That the
number of criminal homicides in the

eight times greater than in Belgium,

any European country; that in the

Los ANGELES SHAKEN Up.

Earthquakes innumerable have
kept the inhabitants of Mother Earth
guessing for some years past. Many
cities have been destroyed and thou
sands Of human lives lost Yet no man
knows the exact cause of these mighty
commissions Of nature. All that is pos
itively known is that in certain locali-
ties, not always in the vicinity of vol
canoes, the danger is ever present.
Los Angeles and Southern Califor-
mia have always claimed TO be immune
from material damage on account of
earth tremors. The latest visitation,
as if to dispTove these boasts, broke
dishes, cracked the walls of buildings
and played hob GENERALLY down there.
The only real safe place would seem
to be In the Rocky Mountain country
in the vicinity OF the Great salt Lake.
where it is neither too hot nor too cold
and which is not situated above the
redhot walks of perdition. All the
leading railroads head in this direc-
ton.

FOILED AGAIN.

The date of inauguration of Presi-
dent and Vice President will not be
changed, not for the present, at least.
The lower House OF Congress, in its
wisdom, failed TO give the necessary
two-thirds vote to the bill having for
its purpose the amendment of the
constitution.
Efforts have been made for several
years to change inauguration day from
March to some time later. when
the weather would be warmer, the
late Senator George F. Hoar being
one of the prime movers in the mat
ter Senator Hoar had served long in
Washington and was firmly convinced
of the necessity for the change, but
Was never able TO bring IT about.
Since his death others have fol-
lowed in his footsteps. only to meet
with a like rebuff. The vote was
close this time, 139 to 20, and one
little change from nay to yea would
have passed the bill. The change evil

THE HYDE VERDICT.

A jury of twelve men has found
DR.. B. C. Hyde guilty Of the murder
of Col. Thomas Swope. the Kansas
City millionaire and philanthropist,
who died under suspicious circum-
stances a few months ago.
The evidence in the case was purely
circumstantial and the result of the
of surprise The defendant confident
ly expected acquittal when the jury re-
tired last Friday evening and his con-
viction naturally comes as great
shock to him.
II guilty he is fiend incarnate and
deserves the extreme penalty of the
law. That the jury recommended life
Imprisonment is doubtless owing to the
fact that the evidence was circum
stantiaI and the Jurors did not want
to hang him without positive proof
Circumstantial evidence is generally
held to be the strongest kind Of evil
dence. In the case OF Dr. Hyde the mo-
tive was clearly established, while the
ClidHt VI OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES WClQCO lOSCtii-
er, clearly gave rise to a strong pre-
sumption of his guilt. At any rate the
jury took that view of the matter
when the verdict Of guilty was finally
reached.
The outcome of the Hyde murder
trial makes it one of the most re-
E1Rrkabie in the criminal annals Of
thte United States. Men have been
convicted on circumstantial evidence
before, the celebrated case in which
Daniel Webster figured as prosecuting
attorney being notable example. But
in late years there has been marked
tendency to give the prisoner the bene-
fit of all the doubt. end then sorae.
A motion viii doubtless be made
for a new trial for DR.. Hyde, with
the chances in favor of its being
granted.

ovERCROWDING IN CITIES.

Deplorable conditions as to the
housing of people are known to exist
in the crowded countries Of Europe
and Asia That such conditions also
exist in the United States has been
made clear by the discoveries of the
census enumerators in the eastern
cities.
For instance. one enumerater at
Passaic, n. J.. found a house in which
$50 persons lived by day and night
under one roof. That was bad
enough, but another enumerater in
the same city found worse case of
overcrowding
The second building shelters twelve
families, numbering. with their board
ers, 292 souls, and all either infants
or day workers, so that they all sleep
there at night, whereas in the first
named house there were never more
than IFS sleeping at the same time.
The average number OF occupants
to each room is 1-9, including the
kitchen. There is no space for beds.
and the inmates sleep in straw. Dur
ing the daytime the straw is heaped
in a corner like horse-bedding in a
stable.
In both cases the human beings
thus herded together are foreigners.

A UTAH WORKER.

On Sunday. May 10, Hon. Anthem
H Lund of this city completed his
sixty-sixth year in lie; he also has
been a resident OF Utah for fifty
years, having come to this country in
his youth from his native land, Den
mark, To make Utah his permanent
home.
The neutrality-suspicious. takes the
occasion Of this event to refer to
large element of the citizenship of
this state, of which Mr.. Lund is
typical representative. The peoples of
the Scandinavian peninsula have given
to America much of the intelligent
ana persistent energy that has been
so potent in OR national development;
and in no part of the land have the
thrifty mortimer and their descend
ants shown forth their desirable quail
tiles more effectively than in this in
termountain region. With brave
hearts and clean hands they have par
tieipated equally with the best people
of other lands in the settlement and
building up of these mountain wales.
Industrious, frugal and strong, they
have met the hardships, borne the toll,
and overcome the difficulties attend
ing pioneer work, and generally are
reaping the reward OF prosperity fol-
lowing their labors. And to them, as
Northern Europe. the people of Utah
owe a goodly measure of gratitude for
the reclamation of the once barren
wastes of this locality.
In this work Mr. Lund has been a
sturdy and prominent figure for half
a century. From comparative OBJ
security he has risen to the position of
a leader in educational. legislative, in
dustrial and philanthropic matters
With his co-religionists he has been
member OF the church first presi-
dency; but aside from any affiliation
of creed or religion, Mr.. Lund's I'M
usual evenness of temper. good judg-
ment, tenderness and sympathy, and
broad scope of general information,
enabling him to use these attributes to
advantage with his fellowmen, justly
entitle him to the high esteem in
which ne is held in this community,
regardless OF sect or class. And in
recognition of his portrayal of such
desirable qualities, there is extended
TO him the hearty wish Of many more
years of life, health and energy, for
the continued exercise of a benignant
and uplifting Influence among the
people of the intermountain west.

WAGES BEING INCREASED.

For some months past railway en-
ployes all over the United States have
been demanding increased wages, with
strike as the alternative PROPOSE
ton. In every case where the rail-
roads and the members Of the various
brotherhoods were unable TO reach an
agreement the matter has been sub
mitted TO arbitration, the men VIM
ming in every instance.
The trainmen and conductors of the
Michigan Central and the Michigan
Southern were victorious in the latest
contest, leaving the Erie as the only
road In the east over which there is
danger of trouble.
Arbitration of the demands of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Firemen
and Engineers began Monday in Chi
cago, forty-nine western roads being
involved. In view of the fact that the
eastern roads have been compelled to
pay the increase, 1t IS generally ex-
pected that the western systems will
likewise get the short end OF the ar
bitration proceedings.
It being taken for granted that the
railroad employees. one and all. are to
receive more pay the next step will
be an increase in freight rates. the
bail having already started to roll
in that direction. The New Haven
road has not only boosted its freight
rates but added 20 per cent to its

TARIFF COMMISSION.

One of the features OF the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill was q clause au-
thorizing the appointment of a tariff
commission, the purpose being to COL
lect information to be used in future
revisions, should such be desirable.
President Taft has requested an ap-
preparation of s25o,00O, for the pur-
pose OF paying the expenses of such
a commission 1t is probable he will
get the money, although there is
strong opposition to any further tink-
ering with the tariff fer a long time
to come.
The President takes the position
that while there is no thought of re-
vising the tariff at the present time
the figures would prove instructive
in many ways, principally by giving
the lie to many of the assertions of
the free traders. He doesn't say this
in so many words, but his meaning is
clear enough.
Tariff revisions are always destruc-
tive to business. whether up or down,
horizontal or otherwise While Con-
gress discusses the schedules the
wheels CT commerce stop and await
the result. The country has just had
an experience of that kind and is
now fairly on the road to recovery. An
other tariff agitation would bring
chaos in jig-time. What the people
of the country want is chance to do
business without Interruption. and they
should have it.
