BILL VETOED
BECAUSE CODES
COVERED NATTER
LIVERYMEN'S BILL, PASSED BY
LEGISLATURE, VETOED
BY GOVERNOR.

There is an impression in some
quarters that assembly bill No. 1872
passed at the last session of the
an act for the protection
of liverymen, became a law and
was omitted from the statutes
While it is true that the bill pass
ed both houses, it was vetoed by
the governor on the ground that
the subject matter is more fully
covered by section 442 of the
crimes and punishment act, which
becomes effective the first of next
year.
The bill in question imposed a
penalty for obtaining rig under
false pretenses or for asking the
same to another place or greater
distance than contracted for.

court yesterday less than an hour
and a half to find William Siegel,
parasite of the underworld, guilty

The case was one of the most re-
Voting ever tried before a local
court, the testimony throughout
dealing with the underworld and
the practices of the lowest of the

According to the testimony in the
case, Siegel was a despicable char

with Anna Anderson, who was a
simple Swedish girl, serving as a
ehambermaid in a Denver hotel.
Expressing his intention to friends
of making the Anderson girl a
prostitute and living from her gain,
Siegel secured her downfall and
then left with her for Salt Lake
The girl says she is desperately in
love with Siegel and she readily fell

Lake, where she entered the stock.

In the trial Charles Hadad, Eos

of Denver, testified that Siegel had
told them before leaving Denver
that he was going to ruin the CIR
and make her a white slave.
After doing SO, the government of
ficers got on his trail and arrested
him at the stockade here.
The father of Siegel's wife cam,

others are consumed by the ambition
to become great singers. musicians,
artists, poets or novelists. In many
cases these ambitions are rather alb

he had finally reached the goal of his
