one dissenting vote and that its passage
there is practically assured.
Important changes were made In the
bill during the hearing. The principal
one was the elimination of placer and

BOOSTS BILLS NOW
BEFORE LEGISLATURE
State Fish Commissioner Says
Proposed Measures Ought
to Be Passed.

That the bills now before the 1cgisla-
ture providing for changes In the fish
and game laws are based on years OF
experimenting. is the statement Of Fred
w Chambers, state fish and game COM
missioner. Chambers says that he has
made a careful study Of the conditions.
and by the aid Of his many district ward
ems has made up the bills. localizing the
sport.
It is contended that In one part of
the state the conditions are not the
same generally as in others, and for that
reason the laws should be different. His
object, Chambers says, is to SO arrange
the laws that the sportsmen will get
the best hunting and fishing at the best
season and at the season when the game
and fish are best able to protect them
selves.
"For instance" says Chambers. ga
proposed law provides for an extension
of the fishing season In some places. This
would not do in other parts OF the state
The fish remain under the Ice for long
time and get little to eat. AS a result.
II the law was not opposed to fishing
could simply clean out the supply Of
trout in those times.
"Then, take the matter OF deer. In
some places the deer come down from
the high mountains earlier than at other
times. This makes 1t impossible to get
good shooting In some sections and ex-
cellent shooting at other times. This
of experimenting IN the various parts Of
the state and should result In great BEN
efits I can see no reason for any op-
position TO the bills as presented"

DANVILLE, Ill, Jan 21.-The may
or, the sheriff and the city attorney here
today mado confessions as result OF
the vote selling inquiry which is under
way in the home town of Speaker Jo-
seph G. Cannon. The city attorney
started the Confession ball' a-rolling.
He was quickly followed by the other
high officials.
City Attorney Frank Jones, who man
aged the campaign of Sheriff John M.
Shepherd, made a confession to the
effect that he had bought votes in the
last campaign and that he was ready
to 80 before the grand jury and tell
all that be knows in regard to vote
selling and vote-buying In Danvllle. g..
He knows so much that as soon as 1t
became public that he had confessed
used money in his campaign. and that
he had list Of purchasable votes sim
liar to that possessed by Jones.
Mass Meeting to Confess.
"I suggest that candidates, ward
captains and all others who have had
ANYTHING to do with the elections re-
that at this meeting all take oath tc
go before the grand jury and give
that body any information at their com
mand,' said Attorney Jones.
''It would be an easy matter to dc
this. 1t would be right and just to
declare vote-buying a menace to the
public, nuisance, which should be
abated, and I will agree, if others will
to go before the grand jury and tel
things which l know and which every
other man who has been candidate
knows. This information would, 1 an
sure, enable the grand jury, if it de
sired to return indictments against
more than 5000 voters. I don It intend
to be goat and can It remember now
but if others will remember, then
will. -
Mayor Louis Platt also made the ad
mission that when he was elected two
years ago vast amount Of money had
been used in his behalf.
The mayor is anxious and willing
that a mass meeting be held and say:
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1911-01-22

that he will attend and thinks every
other candidate should do the same.
City Attorney Jones made his confes-
sion to several newspaper men and per-
sonal friends, saying that during the
last campaign that he had bought a
large number of votes for Shepherd and
kept memoranda of the names Of the
for each.
He Might Remember.
However, he asserted since the pres
ent agitation started and it became ap-
parent few days ago that it was not
bluff, but that the grand jury really
meant business and would go after
every one connected with election crook
edness. he had become frightened and
had destroyed this memoranda, but he
believed that he could remember most
Of the names and the amounts of money
that had changed hands.
Mr.. Jones is willing to appear before
a mass meeting and tell what he knows
along with the mayor, the sheriff and
Jones says that hundreds of men in
Danville have made practice Of sell
ing their votes and that the candidates
know who the men are and that they
should tell all they know.
| The confession has created an in.
| tense sensation and it is predicted that
there will follow confessions from 9th
ers rapidly. while many well known
ward workers and politicians may seek
cover by quickly leaving town, if they
can get away before subpoenas can be

joHMsoN's HOME FOR RENT
Opportunity for Admlrer 70 Live In
House Where Famous Dictionary
Was Complied.

DR.. Johnson's house in Cough
square is "to let," and these is an
opportunity for an admirer to live
in the place where the dictionary or
most Of it was actually compiled.
The doctor resided at Cough
square from 1748 to 1853, and we
know that the dictionary was begun
q year before the first date and pub
lished in 1855. At the top Of the
house, which is a large one, he had
q room fitted up for his five or six
assistants, whom he kept constantly
under his eye.
An interleaved copy of Bailcy's
dictionary in folio he made the basis
Of his work, and he collected his au-
thorities by incessant reading, his
method being to score with g black
lead pencil the words he selected.
The house has many melancholy
memories. Here Johnson's wife died
In 1852 and left him more than ever
a prey to his natural gloom. And
here. he was arrested for a paltry
debt of IS 18s. and taken to
sponging house in the neighborhood
of Cursitor street.
But it was here also that his
struggles met with their reward, and
when in the last year of his tenancy

PROFANE SWEARING.

One of the most common Of
fenses-one that is committed in
Vulnerable times upon the streets
and in other public places, every
day, and which simply because Of
the frequency of the offense many
have come to regard as no offense
at all, is that OF profane swearing.
The laws of our state define pro-
fame swearing as follows: Pro
fame swearing consists in any use
of the name of God, or Jesus
Christ, or the Holy Ghost. either
in imprecating divine vengeance
upon the utterer, or any other per-
son, or in light, trif1ing or irrever-
ent speech"
Every person guilty of profane
swearing is liable to punishment
by fine of one dollar for each Of
Tense.
There are few persons so de-
PRAYED that they would use pro-
family before2their mother. wife or
little, children, yet thoughtlessly
use it in public places SO that it
may fall upon the ears of another S
mother. wife or children. In this
age of learning. enlightenment and
culture it should be possible for
every pure little child, or womanly
woman, to travel the streets of any
city or town without being COM
PEELED to listen to some thoughtless
individual, with strong lungs but
a weak brain, committing the Of
Tense of profane swearing. In fact
it is an offense so commonly COM
mitted that it has become a habit
with many estimable men who,
however, recognize the seriousness
of the matter and when they get
time for little introspection, re-
solve to quit it.

NOVEL USE OF coRks.

Charles Hawkins of Peterborough,
England, has succeeded in building a
series of most interesting models, the
chief of which is large and compre-
hensive model of Burghley house, the
historic seat of the marquis Of Exc
ter, near Stamford.
It took Mr.. Hawkins, in his spare
time, ten years to complete, during
which time he walked nearly 5000
miles in repeated visits to the house
in order to secure accuracy. The
model measures five feet in length,
four feet in width and three feet in
height, and no fewer than half a
million bottle corks were used in its
construction.-Strand.
