NEW LAWS PROVIDE
FOR CONVICT LABOR
Governor and Warden Go to
Colorado to Study Work

Governor William Spry and Arthur
Pratt, warden OF the state penitentiary,
left yesterday for Canon City. Colo to
study convict labor on roads as employed
in that state.
The recent state legislature passed a
lew providing for the use of convict labor
on the roads OF Utah and preparatory to
carrying out the provisions OF this law

The state legislature provided bond

be expended I'm each county OF the state
except Salt Lake. IN addition. the legis-
lature made an annual appropriation Of
Under the direction of the state road COM
mission convict labor will be used in the
construction and Improvement OF the
roads. AS the expense for the construc-
ton and improvement OF roads is largely
for labor. the amount appropriated will
cover much greater improvement and con-
struction because of the elimination of
ahis expense through the employment OF
convict labor.
Members OF the state road commission
have not yet decided upon plans for the
road work for the coming summer but
will formulate these plans soon after the

county TO county to form trans state high
ways is being devised. A great highway
running from Logan to St George which
has been the dream of good roads en-
tlusiasts for years, may result from the
new laws.
The greatest concern Of tho commission
and others with reference to the convict
labor law is in making provision for eff
cient guarding OF the prisoners while at
work and while encamped at night This
may be partially offset by the use Of only

Governor Spry Will Name Mem

Week.
WAITING FOR AMENDMENT
TO BECOME EFFECTIVE
Delegation Will Study New
StatehouSes Elsewhere; Archi-
tects Deeply Interested.

The members OF the state capitol COM
mission will be named next week by Low
ernor William Spry, The law prcscriD-
Ing the manner OF appointment OF the
commission becomes effective on May o
and Immediately thereafter the governor
Will name the commissioners .
The law authorizing the appointment OF
tho state capitol commission was passco
TWO years ago. 1t prescrioes the ap-
pointment Of two commissioners 10 serve
without pay and two others with pay,
These last TWO named were TO be lne
secretary of the commission and tne
superintendent of building and grounds.
Because OF the failure OF the capltol TAX
election two years ago the commission
was not named at that time. This year
the money for the building OF the capito!
was authorized and an amendment was
made In tho law governing the appoint
ment OF the capitol commission.
The amendment provides that all inc
members OF the commission VIII serve
without pay. and that the secretary oi
the commission and the superintendent
OF building and grounds be elected py
tho commission. This amendment, how.
ever does not become effective until
May and IL the governor appointed the
commission prior to that time they would
be serving under the old law and tWo
OF them would be entitled to pay. For
that reason the governor has delayed
making these appointments until after
the new law goes into effect.
Immediately after the appointments
are made the governor, the secretary OF
state, the attorney general and the four
appointive- members OF the commission
will meet and organize. preparatory to
the preliminary steps necessary TO the
construction OF the new state capitol,
Under the new law the governor Is made
chairman OF the commission, and the sec
retary OF state, vice chairman. The sec
retary is TO be elected by the commission
but not from the membership OF the
commission. The commission VIII also
elect the superintendent OF buildings and
grounds,
Before any plans are decided upon the
commission will designate two or three
of It's members to visit other states In
which new oapitols have recently been
built with a view to profiting from the
experience OF other states IN capitol con-
struction Several Salt Lake architects
are already preparing plans for the new
capitol TO be submitted to the commits
sion while architects OF other cities have
signified their intention Of submitting
plans for the work.

NURSE ADHERES
To HER STORY
Attempts to Break Emily
EbOrn's Testimony on Cross
Examination Fail.
GRANT CONTINUANCE ON
REQUEST OF DEFENDANT
Medicine Alleged to Have Been
Delivered to Nelson's
Office.

That the defense might have time to
secure certain witnesses. Judge c.. w,
Morse early Wednesday afternoon. on
the motion Of Attorney f. B, Critch-
low, granted a continuance until this
morning of the case of Emily Eborn
against Joseph Nelson, in which Miss
Eborn is seeking to recover $4,000
damages for alleged breach of promise.
All attempts to break the story of
Miss Eborn utterly failed Wednesday
morning. Testifying under the most
rigid cross-examination of three at
torneys, Miss Eborn again related her
story of how Nelson promised to make
her his wife and refused to do so.
BY the testimony Of Walter Osler,
drug clerk employed during the year
1908 at Schramm' drug store, the
counsel for Miss Eborn showed that a
prescription for certain medicine was
telephoned into the store, and that the
medicine was delivered at the office
of the Saltair Beach company, whose
Brown" Miss Eborn testified that
that was the name under which she
went ut the time Of the second opera
ton The plaintiff then offered testi-
mony to show that the medicine was
delivered to Miss Eborn by Nelson,
The plaintiff also introduced as evil
dence Wednesday morning the account
of Joseph Nelson for the year 1908 in
the Utah National bank. showing that
he drew out 500 on check May 10 of
that year, as testified to by Miss
Eborn. This was on the occasion of
the first operation. Fred Rich. a
bookkeeper at the bank, testified con-
cerning Nelson s account.
Just before the noon recess Miss
Eborn was recalled by her counsel to
testify concerning what she knew of
Nelson's financial condition.
Daniel Owen, prescription clerk at
the f, c. Schramm Drug company,
testified in the afternoon concerning
the prescription in question. after
which the plaintiff rested. The con
tinuance was then granted.
