.HANDCART COMPANIES
TO HOLD A REUNION
Veterans Convene During Forthcom-
ing Conference Instead
of in Fall.
Especial to The Herald-RepubIican.)

Provo. March 31.-It will be fifty
four years the coming fall since the
first companies of hand carts crossed
the plains, that being in 1856. This
style of travel was repeated in ST. but
was discontinued in SO. renewed again
in SO. and came to a close in go. There
were about ten companies in all that
came TO Utah in this manner.
From the showing it may be con-
cluded that q very great number of the
veterans have passed away, but quite
number still remain in different parts
of the state.
1t has been customary since 1905,
that being the ftftieth anniversary, to
hold a reunion during the fall confer
ence, but it has been thought advisable
by the committee to hold a meeting
this spring.
Bishop Woodruff, of the Fourteenth
ward of Salt Lake, has kindly consent
ed to the meeting being held in the
assembly hall of that ward, and think
ing it might better accommodate the
members of these companies, the COM
mittee has decided to meet at $3.50 p. m.
Tuesday. April 5, as many of the vet
Grams are getting advanced in years.
All the hand cart veterans in the
state are invited, together with their
descendants, also those intrepid men
who went out to help the belated COM
panies into Salt Lake.

DEBATE IN THE COMMONS
Significant Statement Made by Win
ston Churchill Regarding Curb
ing Power OF the Lords.

London, March H.-The official oppo-
sitiOn amendment to Premier Asquith's
resolutions on the veto power OF the
house of lords was moved in the house
of commons today by Sir Robert Banaa-
tyne Ninlay.
1t declares in favor Of strong and
efficient second chamber; expressed will
lingness to consider proposals for the re-
form of the upper house, bat declines
to proceed with the government proposals.
which would destroy the usefulness Of
any second chamber.
Winston Spencer Churchill the home
secretary. made an important contribu-
ton to the debate. He declared when
would advance the budget, regardless Of
the consequences. Unless the house Of
commons carried the budget, ii was idle,
he said, to look to the king or to the
country to carry the bill. but he predicted
that at the proper time, and under the
proper circumstances they would sue
coed in carrying both the veto and budget
to the steps of the throne.
Mr.. Churchill closed with a significant
statement. The time for action" he
said, has arrived. Since the lords have
used their veto &c affrOnt the prerOgative
of the crown and have invaded the rights
of the commons, it has become neces-
sary that the crown and the commons,
ance of the constitution and restrict for
ever the veto power of the house OF
lords
Premier Asquiths guiliOtining motion,
which is published tonight. provides that
the committee stage of all three resO-
lutions shall be concluded on the night
of April H.

Provo Wants Fairgrounds With
Tools, and Billiard Tables, Too

pie here to secure ground now, while It
was cheap, and hold 1t for the future.
DR.. r. ". Taylor OF Provo was the last
speaker He expressed the conviction
that Provo would secure free Fairgrounds
for the children and a free public gym
nasiurn, because the women were back of
the movement. He credited the women
in a large degree with the establishing of
the Provo free library. The initial cost of
grounds and a gymnasium he did not con-
slider the serious obstacle to overcome.
That would be only from 200 to $500 O0:
but the annual maintenance, from S. 1000
to $4,000 was a more difficult matter.
Billiard Tables, Too.
Among the things DR.. Taylor wanted
placed in the gymnasium in addition TO
the usual gyrnnastic equipment. baths.
etc, were tools for work in wood and
iron, so that the boys could find vent for
their constructive ability; and appliances
for exercises in domestic art for the girls.
He also wanted a large telescope and a
powerful microscope. A bowling alley,
billiard and pool tables, he said, should
also be installed. These provided health
full and beneficial amusements, and had
fallen into disrepute only on account Of
their association with drinking, smoking
and swearing.
This evening Mrs. Rhoade and Miss
Binzel addressed the parents Of the
Franklin school district in the school
house on the free playground and gym
nasium movement. The school orchestra
furnished musical selections, and re-
freshments were served.
