PROMINENT L. d. S. MAN DEAD

Salt Lake, Oct. 13.-John Henry
Smith, second counselor to Presiden,
Joseph F. Smith, second in succession
for the presidency of the Church OF
the Latter Day Saints, member of the
Utah capitol commission, and one OF
the most prominent men in the west,
died at his home, 80 West First North
street, at 1915 O'Clock this morning.
Death came with warning of bur
half hour, and the news will be re-
ceived today as distinct shock to
thousands of people of Utah as well
as the entire west. President Smith
retired to his bed at 10 o'clock last
night apparently in good health. AT
10:45 o'clock his wife, Josephine G.
Smith, was awakened by the sound
of heavy breathing coming from the
! room occupied by Mr.. Smith. She
hurried to his bedside and discovered
that he was suffering with a hemmor-
rhage of the lungs.
DR.. H. q. Lund responded to cali
in few minutes, but Mr.. Smith was
beyond human aid.
When the spark of life died out,
his wife, his half-brother Joseph Fl.
Smith, DR.. Lund and President Anton
H. Lund, were present.
His son, Apostle Albert Joseph
Smith, has been i'll in bed since las,
Monday and was not notified of his
fathers death until this morning. His
first wife, Sarah Farr Smith, is visit
ing in Chicago, and was not notified
until this morning. She will leavs
for home this afternoon and is ex-
pected to arrive Sunday or Monday.
Until it is known definitely when she
will arrive, no arrangements will be
made for the funeral. 1t will be held
in the Tabernacle either Monday or
Tuesday.
Up until the time that he was
stricken late last night, President
Smith was supposed to be in his usuas
health, though it was known that he
had not been as strong as usual since
last April, when he suffered an attack
of hemmorrhage of the lungs. During
the summer he spent some time in the
Yellowstone park and he returned
home feeling comparatively well.
Later he made visit through mum.
Der of the eastern states, returnin
home for the conference of last week,
which he addressed twice.
AS Mrs. Smith hurried to his bed
side, he whispered: Put clotn
across my lungs" These were the
last words he spoke. .,..
President Smith is survived by two
widows, Mrs. Sarah Farr Smith ana
Mrs. Josephine Grosbeck Smith, and
the following sons and daughters:
George A. Smith, Don c. Smith,
E. Chase Smith, Mrs. Sarah A. Pond,
Winslow F. Smith, Nicholas G. Smith,
Nathaniel l.. Smith, Joseph H. Smith,
Claire Smith, Mrs. P. s. Langton, Bes-
sic Smith, Elsie l.. Smith, Glen Smith,
leila Smith and Josephine Smith.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES
caldwell News)

No where on earth, except In Cald-
well, would an address by the Presi-
dent of the United States, be inter-
rupted in order to pull>off dog fight
or run horse race. That very thing
was done last Friday in this city. The
action reflects little credit on the man.
agement of the Canyon county fair.
1t was done and the less said about
it the better, so we are informed. The
Tribune feels that it should protest
the feelings Of the people of this COM
munity, Notwithstanding our informa-
ton.
Whatever may be thought Of the
man, the President is entitled to de-
cent consideration. His Office de-
mands respect. It i'll BELTS an
American citizen to so far forge.
himself as to treat with contempt
the Office or the man.
The people did not attend the fair
on this particular day in order to
see trained monkeys or six-legged
pigs. Those curiosities, interesting
as they are, could be seen any other
day. While our guideless wonder Is
our most brilliant attraction and the
leading product Of our soil, yet there
are people who would rather see, talk
and listen to men. 1t seems that the
President of the United States is such
one; and We believe that the ma
.jority Of the people of Canyon county
are about the same as the President.
President Taft went out of his way
in order to see and speak to and with
the people of Canyon county. The
least that we could have done would
have been to pay him the attention
he expected and deserved.

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO NEWS

University of Idaho, Moscow, Oct
16.-The question for the second an.
nual debate with Pacific University
has been chosen. 1t is worded. as
follows: Resolved, That state boards
of arbitration with compulsory pow
ers should be appointed to settle ali
disputes between employers and en-
ployees. Idaho will send team ol
two men to Forrest Grove to take
the negative side of the question,
while another team of two men vii,
uphold the affirmative at Moscow.
Nineteen men have thus far announc-
ed their intention of trying to mak-
the team. The try-out will be held
November 1, and the debate early in
January.
Until the burning of their build
ing a few years ago, the students OF
the University ran cooperative
boarding club, and obtained board
for little more than half of the
prices now charged by private board
ing houses. Realizing the present
need for a boarding club, the Young
Mems Christian Association has un-
dertaken to carry on the work. a
manager has been appointed who has
rented a house near the campus and
is rapidly arranging the other details.
1t is expected that the club will be
running within week. The associa-
ton intends to rnish rooms as well
as board as soon as the club is firmly
established.
Realizing the value Of establishing
customs for the regulation OF the di.-
ferent classes of the University, the
upper class men have drawn up a
set of rules for this purpose. The
rules were adopted by a vote OF the
entire student body. They are as
follows:
1. Every man student of the Uni
versity shall salute the President of
the University by lifting his hat; or
il in uniform by rendering the pre-
scribed military salute.
2. All students shall stand with
uncovered heads during the singing
Of Alma Mater Idaho.
g. All Freshmen when on the cam
pus shall wear an olive green cap
with q pearl button upon 1t,

: is limited to the Freshmen year OF
each class.
5. Under class men shall not wear
derbies on the campus.
6. No one shall enter the assembly
FIVE minutes after assembly has be-
gun.
Z. No Idaho student shall be al
lowed to smoke on the campus.
s. Among the men students, the
privilege of going 5are-headei is
limited to upper class men.
9. High school sweaters, pins, nn-
merals, or caps shall not be worn Oh
the campus.
10. The regular order Of seating
to be observed by all students at as
sembly shall be as follows: No stu
dent shall use the two front rows Of
seats; these are reserved for the IA
Guilty. The front rows of the lett,
next to those of the faculty, shall be
reserved for the use Of the Seniors.
similarly. those of the left shall be
occupied by the Juniors only The
seats directly behind those reserveo
for the Seniors shall be occupied ~
the Sophomores, while those IN the
rear of the Juniors shall be occupied
by the Freshmen. Any vacsrt seats
may be occupied by those needing
them; but If the occupancy Of any
barred seat Is sought nesdirssty and
the spirit of this ruling broken, the
guilty party shall be liable to the
penalty of its violation. 1850
IL. No student shall cut across the

Found Under Railway Viaduct
Idaho Register)


Telegraphic dispatches bearing a
San Francisco date line of Monday,
state that report received recently
by officials of the Southern Pacifl>
railroad company from w. c. Brown,
section foreman for the railroad at
Naples, CAL, gave details of the d s.
covery of SO sticks of dynamite I'M
der the Cacitan viaduct, 20 miles
north of Santa Barbara, several hours
before President Taft's special train
passed over the bridge, en- route to
Los Angeles. The dynamite was
found after the Waterman had engag-
ed in revolver battle with two men
who escaped.
The dynamite was discovered at 2
o'clock this morning The president 5
tain passed over the bridge at 5.31.
The night Waterman, whose name
was not given in the report to the
San Francisco officials, discovered two
ellen on the bridge shortly before 2
o'clock. They were at the opposite
end of the 100O-foot span and ran
when ordered to halt.
Finds Dynamite
The Waterman ran across the
bridge firing several shots, which
were returned by the fugitives. After
the pair had escaped in the darkness
the watchman returned to the bridge
and began an investigation. Near the
center of the span lodged on one o.
the supports Of the viaduct he found
the SO sticks of dynamite with ten
foot fuse attached to one Of the
sticks. He left the find untouched,
going Immediately to Santa Barbara
and notifying the officials. Sheriff

Immediately to the bridge with sew.
eral deputies and removed the dyna-
mite.
Brown reported having seen two
men get off late train at Naples and
walk toward the Cacitan viaduct. No
other trace of the two men has beer.
found. Special police employed by
the railroad and sheriffs and deputies
in Santa Barbara and adjoining
counties are leading the search for
the men suspected. The police of all
the coast cities are being notified and
the meager description Of the men
obtainable from only the unsatisfac-
tory description Of Brown and the
night Waterman, is being telegraphec
broadcast.

GAVE TAFT ROUGH RID,
President and Party Have Exciting
and Narrow Escape on Noun
Rainier

Tacoma.-President Taft climbed
up to the foot of the glaciers on
Mount Rainier today and narrowly
mountain Businesses. The presidential
party made the ascent in automobiles
and when nearing the highest point
reached by the roadway most of the
machines became mired in the mud
up to the hubs. After several hours
the narrow road was completely
blocked. Forest rangers, with teams
of horses, finally cleared the way, but
storm threatened as the president
started down the decline. With
searchlights blazing the way the pres
ident's car slowly crept along the
edges of the precipices and at times
the outer wheels were within two feet
of a sheer drop of 1000 feet or more.
Mr.. Taft returned safely to his train
which had been taken to Ashford,
near the mountain, and passed
through Tacoma at 11:25 pm, en-
route to Bellingham.
Taft Thoroughly Enjoys 1t
Despite the threatening storm, the
slippery mountain and the danger of
might travel on the trail the president
declared that he had thoroughly en-
joyed the experiences of the day. Mr..
Taft did not see the worst of the au-
tomombile blockade on the road, how
ever, his car having gotten safely by
on the way up to the snow line be-
fore 1t happened and the machines
having been cleared away by the
rangers when he reached the bad spot
on the return journey. The presi-
dents car sank deep down in the
muddy ruts and skidded badly at
times, despite the safety chains that
had been thrown over the rear tires.

Taft Shocked

San Francisco, Oct. 14.-President

thought to Harlan's successor yet.
