CLUB is BOOSTING
FOR BEAR LAKE

At meeting of the directors of
the Montpelier Commercial club
last Saturday night, it was decided
to unite with the League of South
ern Idaho Commercial clubs and
with the Western Development
association, which was formed at
Salt Lake two weeks ago, This
will enable the club to keep in
touch with all progressive move
ments and be great aid in the
Advancement of Bear Lake county.
By being in close touch with the
Western Development association,
the club will be able to give this
county the proper representation in
the advertising train, which is to
be sent east next fall. .-
Chas. z. Harris, who was pres
ent at the organization of this new
boosting association, stated the
plans as outlined will result in Civ
ing the west wider and better ad-
vertising than have all previous
efforts combined.
He found that quite number of
Salt Lake men are deeply interested
in the proposition TO have a series
of yacht races on Bear Lake this
year, and are going to do all they
can to bring about the event.
While there Mr.. Harris distribu-
ted quite number of the Bear
Lake county pamphlets among the
men who we're there from the diff
ferent states, and nearly every one
was surprised to learn that this
comfy offered such splendid induce
ments to home.seekers, pleasure
seekers and sportsmen.
The directors discussed with
Lish Strong the proposed race meet
in Montpelier, to open on July 4th,
but owing to the fact that Mr..
Strong had not yet received any
positive information from the Mon.
tana people, who are figuring on
entering their string of horses in
the Idaho circuit, no definite action
was taken in this matter.
If the Montana people decide tc
get in on the Idaho circuit, they
will bring at least 100 head OF
horses with them, including some
of the fastest steppers in the north
west. There would also be so OF
more horses from Idaho and Ore
gon points. This would meal
some speed contests worth seeing
and there Is no doubt that a race
meet opening here on July 4tI
would be largely attended. Il
fact, it is the best season of th
year for races in Montpelier, an,
the Examiner hopes that arrange
rnents will be made for holding Tn
proposed meet here.

SUPT. MANSON SAYS
WORK WILL Be DONE

General superintendent Manson
of the Short Line spent few min
utes in Montpelier Tuesday morn
ing, in company with Diyisiory
Superintendent Stevenson. Mr.
Mason was returning to Salt Lake
from an inspection trip over the
road. - -
In conversation with the Exam.
iner representative, Mr.. Manson
stated that the contract would be
let in a few days for double-track-
ing the road both ways out of Mont
pelier, and that the work would
doubtless be started within the next
month. Mr.. Manson also said that
the material was on the way for the
new coal ehutes TO be erected here,
but he could not give any informa-
tion regarding the new depot, fur
ther than TO say that they Woul1
get to it as soon as possible. y
It Is known that the site agreed
upon for the new depot, means a
re-arrangement of the yards, the
first track on the east to be the
main line. Having determined to
construct double tracks both ways
out of town, it is reasonable to be-
lieve that the Encouragement of the
yards will have to await the COM
pletlon of the other work.

FORMER AMBASSADOR HILL SAYS
he IS VICTIM Of INTRIGUE

BERLIN, Sept. 3.-David Jayne Hill,
the retiring American ambassador, on
the eve of his departure from Berlin,
has broken silence as to his resigna-
ton, which was accepted by President
Taft last April The ambassador gave
out statement today intimating that
there had been a deliberate intrigue
to discredit him and misrepresent the
reasons for his resignation. He an
nounced his declination of a decora-
ton which the emperor offered him.
cat the time of my resignation in
April" says the ambassador, there
was much speculation regarding the
reason therefor and a legend concern
ing my course in the negotiations be-
tween my government and Germany
over the potash controversy was care
fully prepared and widely circulated,
positively declaring on alleged author
ity that my conduct was displeasing to
the Department Of State. Under such
circumstances the duty of a loyal dip
lomat is silence, and faithfully l per-
formed this duty.
81 have believed that the American
people, careless as they often are of
reputation, love fair play, and, know
ing that the official record there would
speak the truth at the proper time, l
have taken no notice of either the
source or the motive of these allega-
tions. l have now no comment to
make upon them.
"On leaving office six months after
my resignation, l believe that it will
be a pleasure to the President if l
make public at this time an autograph
statement made by him some months
ago, which should effectually silence
and exterminate the legend which GER
tain newspapers have endeavored to
keep alive. He says

Praised by President.

"I write now to assure you that |
never had the slightest reason to criti-
else your course and service at the
very important post of Berlin. You
have indicated your appointment in
every way, and it has given me pleas
ure to deny emphatically and categor-
ically that your resignation grew out
of any disagreement on the part of
the administration with your conduct
in this cOuntry's relation with Ger

other question. / write this
to you, for you are entitled to have a
full statement as to your satisfactory
service, written by him whom you
have worthily and well represented at
the great capital of Berlin
81 make public this statement for
the purpose of assuring my friends in
Europe and America of my faithful
allegiance to the principles of loyalty
by which have been actuated
throughout my official life, which has
been Of considerable duration, and to
show appreciation of the sense of JUS
tice by which the President was in
spired in recognizing the wrong done
me by others, whose misrepresenta.

indicate more closely the persons he
believes were interested in discredit
ing him.
The ambassador and Mrs. Hill will

FIFTEEN LARGE STEAMERS FOR
SAN FRANCISCO PANAMA RUN To
Be BUILT BY NEW COMPANY

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Announcing
it's intention of constructing fifteen
large steamships to be ready with
the opening of the Panama canal in
1915, the Atlantic and Pacific Trans
port Company was organized today.
Articles of incorporation, placing the
capital at $15,OOO,OOO, were filed in
New Jersey.
The company, which is headed by
B. N. Baker of Baltimore, will oper-
ate between the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, stopping at the principal
ports on both sides. New York on
the Atlantic and San Francisco on the
Pacific will be the chief ports of call.
The company will also make a bid
for the travel to the exposition in
San Francisco in 1915. 1t will equip
its vessels with luxurious accommo-
dations and offer rates a third less
than the rail figures.
Allied to Ship Trust.
The incorporators are closely allied
with the International Mercantile Ma
rine Company, known as the ship
trust, which controls the White Star
line. It is announced, however, that
the new company will be Independent.
Especially, it is stated, it will be free
from any affiliation with railroad.
The articles of incorporation provide
that no person interested in "com-
petitive transportation business by
rail- shall be eligible to membership
on the board of directors. The incor-
porators are:

president of the Atlantic Transport
Company.

HOW AUTO MEN DEFEAT The
LOOSELY DRAWN NUMBER ORDINANCE

1t is almost certain that if the mau
in the street were asked where the
tail light of an automobile should
shine at night, he would reply prompt
ly ION the number, of course, in ac-
cordance with the regulation
The general idea is that the regula-
tions are so framed that they stare
specifically that the tail light shall be
so affixed that it shall reveal the
number. perusal of the regula-
tions, however, will disclose the in
formation that such is not the case.
Section 80 of ordinance No. II, says
zone lighted red light attach
ed to the rear of such vehicle, visible
within a reasonable distance" or
course, what is meant that the mo-
torist should have is a lighted red
lamp at night. Only an Irishman is
supposed to say that he has a light,
but it's out. That, of course, can pass,
everyone would know what is meant.
But there is, positively no direction to
owners of automobiles to install lights
that will shine on their numbers.
In Honolulu this omission to state
where the light should be placed has
led to many originalities. For in
stance, some people get an artistic eff
feet by allowing a cardboard that
bears the initials of garage, to
dangle from the rear of the car, With
the motion of the car, of course, 1t
is impossible to decipher the letters
or the number, and as an additional
means of puzzling the inquisitive ones,
the card is sometimes buckled up to
an extent that would make it impos-
sible to read until it were straight
ened out.
Schemes for Disguise.
Then there is the motorist who
places his number about thirty inches
directly below the light This as a
disguise, is a distinct success, and I'M
til the car passes under a strong light
none can see whether there is a mum

Der there or not. The advantages OF
this are too obvious. One original
owner has conceived the idea of saw
ing money and trouble by affXing
card with the letters assigned to
him pencilled in blue, to the rear axle.
This too is an excellent idea. At night
in the glare of a strong light these
figures could scarcely be made our,
even if the car were STILL while if it
were going at any speed, it would
be impossible to see them. Some peo-
pie, it is alleged, oil the number plate.
This is considered a fine expedient
for concealing the number, as the
dust from the rear wheels so coats the
plate, that the numbers are not dis
tinguishable. This is a scheme that
is useful both day and night.
Some motorists in the city place
their number in a conspicuous posi-
ton, and then lift the luggage carry
ing device at the rear to so great a
height that the number is practically
covered up from the vulgar gaze of
the public. The best of the whole
lot, but strange to relate, one that has
not found very great vogue, is that
of removing the first or the last figure
in the automobiles number. This
would seem to be the best method of
the lot, for it would be capable of ere
ating so many wrong impressions as
to, the real owner of the car, that the
police would never arrive at a salts.
factory stage.
There are divers ways of affxing
the numbers and the lights, and it
would seem impossible to suggest any
new ones. They all seem to be
known, from the simple method of
not having a light to the placing OF
the lamp in remote position. Fail.
ure to light the lamp is crude, and
is not generally adopted EXCEPT by
parsimonious ones, for to have light

LABOR CONFERENCES At SAN
FRANCISCO IN EFFORT TO STOP
GREAT STRIKE ON THE RAILROADS

that a federation would not be recog.
nized This is the point on which
the whole situation turns
Crisis over New Contracts.
The labor leaders came to San
Francisco pledged to their unions not
to concede this point at any cost, and
during the conference yesterday they
held to their demand.
At this crisis, with some of the new
yearly contracts overdue, pending the
decision that was expected yesterday,
the labor leaders say that there is
nothing to be done but to call into
consultation the 35 or 40 men who
compose the general committee of
each craft. 1t will rest with these
representatives, who will come pre-
pared for action, to back down on
their federation plans or to issue
general strike order.
1t is certain that no steps will be
taken for nearly a week, as the in
ternational presidents have decided
not to act without the consent of the
general committees.
Attendance at Conference.
The fruitless conference which was
expected to settle the controversy and
for which the international officers of
the shop unions had travelled across
the continent began at II o'clock in
Kruttschnitt's private office in the
Flood building. The five labor crafts
were represented by James W. Kline
of the blacksmiths, j. A. Franklin OF
the boiler makers, J. d. Buckalew Of
the machinists, NJ f. Ryan of the car
workers, and J. D. Crane of the sheet
metal workers.

SAN FRANCISCO, September O.
After three and a half hours spent in
conference with julius Kruttschnitt
and other high officials of the Harri-
man railroad system, the labor lead
ers representing thousands of shop
employees on the lines west of the
Mississippi reported last night that
the only result is a deadlock The
situation has become acute, and it was
announced at midnight that a call
probably would be sent this morning
ito the general committee of the five
shop craft unions urging their attend
iance in San Francisco as soon as pos
sible a.
Whether or not there will be a gen
eral walkout of the shopmen on the
Hartman roads will depend on the
action taken by the union committees
on their arrival in San Francisco. The
railroad officials stand firm to their
original position, while the five inter
national presidents announce that
they have not receded.
Another Meeting Probable.
1t is said that there may be another
discussion of the question between
the labor men and the railroad Off
cials before Vice President Krutt
schnitt leaves the city.
! The only demand made in yester-
days conference was for recognition
of the new federation of shop en-
lployes, which bands together in one
