AGAINST
BUILDING OF DAM
Resolutions Are Adopted by
Officers of the Utah Lake
Association.
Especial to The Herald-Republican.)

Provo, Dec. 21.-At the annual meet
ing Of the Utah Lake assOcia ton. held
here this afternoon, officers for the en-
suing year were elected and resolu-
tions adopted protesting against the
intention Of Salt Lake county and the
salt Lake Canal company to construct
the new dam in the Jordan river with
the same height or fiji as the old one.
10 was said that representatives Of
salt Lake county and the salt Lake
Canal company nearly a year ago
agreed with "a committee from the Uta 10
Lake association to build a dam in the
Jordan river at a point between the
Intake Of the east canal and the old
dam. To was further agreed, they say.
that the fill should be four feet lower
than that OF the old dam.
Now. however. they claim that the
salt Lake interests have announced
their intention OF building the fiji on
the same level as the fiji OF the old
dam. It was the opinion of the meet
ing that this would be unfavOra BILE to
Utah county land owners. as Il would
rctard the outlet OF the waters Of he
lake. Accordingly ne meeting adopted
the resolutions protesting against this
action 20 be presented TO the Salt Lake
interests
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1910-12-22
Officers Elected.

The general feeling Of the association
was that II the new dam Is attempt ed
at a high fill. legal action should be
taken 90 prevent its construction.
In the annual report of the committee
Il is shown that Utah lake is now one
foot below compromise point, while At
the same time last year # was one foot
above that point.
The officers elected are as follows:
andrew knudsen. president. Joel 4.
Johnson. vice president. and +. =
Hiuckiey. secretary and treasurer. J.
r. Greer OF Lake Shore and A. y. An
dcrsOu Of Lehi were elected the Utah

"open shop VS.. closed shop question,
and each committee wanted to know
the why's and the wherefores. The ans
wers had to be to the point, too. If it
wasn't clear they simply hammered
away until they got all the information
possible-which was usually not a great
deal, but the very best l had in stock.
From 1880 until 1000 the grilling con-
tinued. Had my back been turned to
that bunch Of inquisitors my courage
would have failed me. But it was an
inspiration to look into the eyes Of
young fellows bent on getting at the
real facts, and although admitting my
inability to handle the question as
ably as "a score Of my fellow workers
right here in Lincoln might have handl-
ed them, I left the chair feeling that
had at least given them a little in
formation which, if followed UP would
make them far better advocates of
trades unionism and the closed shop
than l hope ever to become.
But, after all, the most pleasing fea-
ture Of the whole thing is that the uni
versity is getting down to practical
things. The young men who are delv-
ing into this labor problem are going
TO exercise beneficial influence on in
dustrial conditions in the days to come.

is charging their sympathies; it is

If YOU think it is an easy matter to
take the witness stand and answer the
questions fred at you by sixteen bright
young fellows who want to know some
thing, and know why they want to
know it, just try it. That was an ex
perience Of mine one night this week.
The debating squad of the University
of Nebraska is preparing to take the

with Illinois. These young men, am

like to me.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Routine Meeting in Which Usual Bust
ness is Transacted

Very little other than routine bust
ness was transacted by the Central
Labor Union at it's meeting last week.
The principal feature of the meeting
was the election of Frank NJ Coffey
to represent the body at the American
Federation Of Labor convention in St.
Louis next month.
Several little matters relating to
local conditions were discussed but no
definite action taken. The chief work
before the central body now is to
finance the delegate to the Federation
convention. Mr.. Coffey will go down
there with the avowed intention of
making a game fight to secure from
the Federation some recognition of
this section Of the middle west-some
thing that has been woefully lacking
for years.

ESTATE FIGHT
Initial Steps Taken in Legal
Battle for Many Millions.
WEIGHTY PETITIONS FILED
Queens County Supreme Court
Will Appoint Referee to De-
termine Distribution.

Fully fifty lawyers, representing as many
interests, appeared before Justice Black
mar. in the Queens County Supreme Court,
Long Island City, yesterday morning.
where the initial steps In legal battle for
the Hamersley millions were taken The
action was opened with motion by Roland
Reed RasQuin, attorney for William Ras-
quin, jr and Alfred H. Renhaw. executors
of the last will of Lily Warren Beresford.
for the appointment of a referee to make
an accounting of the estate of Louis c.
Hamersley and 10 determine to whom the
estate shall be distributed.
1t was said this action will determine
whether or not Louis Gordon Hamersley.
son of J. Hooker Hamersley, a cousin Of
the founder of the Hamersley fortune, is to
inherit the estate, estimated to be worth
from S. 600, 600 to s150Oo,O0O, or whether it is
to be divided between the Mason heirs.
descendants of the mother of the founder
of the fortune. Justice Blackmar will an
nounce the appointment of a referee some
time this week.
In the voluminous petition handed up it
was stated that Louis c. Hamersley gave
all of his estate to his wife, the Duchess
of Marlborough, for her use during life,
and at her death 1t was to go to the male
issue of his cousin, J. Hooker Hamersley,
if there were any; and should there be
none, it was to be divided among such
charitable institutions as his wife might
elect The petition further states that at
the death of the testator J. Hooker
Hamersley was not married, but he subse-
ouently married Margaret Chisholm OF
which marriage there was only one male
issue, Louis Gordon Hamersley.
The fifty or more lawyers who are en-
gagged in the case are divided over the
proposition whether the provisions OF the
will passing the property to Louis Gordon
Hamersley are valid. The attorneys of the
young man, led by Attorney Henry H.
Man, say that he is rightfully entitled to
the estate The other lawyers contend that
the will spoke at the time of the testator S
death. and. there being no male issue alive
at that time of J. Hooker Hamersley, the
propertv would be divided between the
heirs of the founder of the fortune, VINO
are the Mason heirs.
The will of Louis S. Hamersley named
George G. Williams, Jacob X Lockrnan
and Lily Warren Beresford, the wife, as
the executors. No final accounting by these
executors or the executors Of their estate
has ever been filed. Such an accounting Is
now demanded.
