Witnesses Before House Com

Ores Will Soon Be Used.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Joseph
Sellwood, an orc mine expert of Du'
lutb, told the house steel investigating
committee today that the Lake Super
ior ore region contains 1,l00,000,0oO
tons of available ore, of which about
550,000.000 tons, excluding tho Hill
lease ores. are controlled by the United
States Steel corporation,
Don H, Bacon. formerly Of the Ten
uessce Coal &C. Iron company, said there
were at present 4oo,000,ooo tons Of
available ore owned by that company,
now subsidiary of the steel corpora
ton.
The Birmingham district, he said,
contained vast areas of undeveloped
ore. He was optimistic about the flu
ture ore supply for the steel business.
Would Want Guaranty.
"To compete in the steel business, y
said Mr.. Bacon. cit would be necessary
to have plant for capacity of $4,000
tons of pig iron a month. To make
that amount and run for period of
forty years, would require 100000
tons of ore. But | would want a guar
anty of ore for 100 years, which would
require $50, 100000 tons of ore"
"Could you get that ore today7''
asked Representative Gardner.
"That is. could you find that amount
of ore, not now held by some other steel
compnniesl
"Yes.v was the reply. 81 think |
could find it in the Birmingham district
and such an amount could be found in
one body and not scattered over separ-
ate areas. -
"Could that amount be found In the

continued
Low Grades Abundant.
''Ycs, doubtless such areas Of ore
are available in what are known as the
Hill lease lands to be surrendered by

nl;ed He further said lower grade ores

that modern invention aud improved

the sole ground that the ordinance
at the time OF the trial in the dis
trict court was not valid and en-
forceable ordinance. Tho invalidity Of
the ordinance IS urged upon various
grounds. but, for reasons unneces-

only ono ground namely. that when

The court finds that the legislature

A CCoRDING 20 unanimous opinion
~ OF tho state supreme court
IL handed down yesterday, the
L n liquor law passed by the last
leglsla: ire repealed by implica-
ton all ordinances In effect In cities
and incorporated towns at the timo the
state law became effective.
The net effect of the decision Is that
prosecutions now pending under ordi-
nances passed prior to May 0. 1911, will
have TO be begun over again under tho
state law or dropped. Cities that have
passed ordinances since May Q, 1911, pro-
hibitinS the sale of intoxicating liquors
where the people have voted dry and
regulating their sale where the people
have voted wet" and which desire to
prosecute Illegal snles and kindred Of
fenses under city ordinances as wol as
under state law. must enact new ordi-
nances. and until this Is done illegal
sales must be punished under state law
Under the opinion, cities have no
power to prosecute any violator of the
law In dry territory except under ordi-
nances adopted pursuant 10 the state
law OF 1911. If cities In dry territory
have no such ordinances. prosecution can
only be maintained under the state law.
Power of Municipalities.
In the opinion OF the court II was cx-
pressly stated that no views are ex-
pressed as to the power OF tho munich
palities to enact new ordinances and
prescribe and define restrictions, regu-
lations and penalties in harmony with
the statute. On this point the court
said:
The question of the power OF cities
and towns OF this state to prosecute Of
tenders under tho act. or TO what sx-
tent, II at all such cities and towns may
pass ordinances prohibiting or regulat-
ing the traffic in intoxicating liquors
and prosecute violators thereof, Is not
now before us and we express no opinion
with regard thereto"
The opinion was rendered on the ap-
peal OF John Lindsay of Pleasant Grove
from tho Judgment OF tho district court
OF Utah county. Lindsay was convicted
OF having illegally sold liquor April 8.
1911. The prosecution was under mu-
nic!pal ordinance,

ment OF the district court with direc-
tions TO dismiss the action and dis

Some DemagogIles.


The necessity that there was for
aTousing our people to prevent the
abuses of corporate privilege and
power, and to wrest from conccn-
trated wealth the exercise OF political
control, and the success that has at
tended much agitation among the
people have been taken advantage
OF by persons, some of them sincere,
some OF them demagogues. and all
OF them with an insufficient knowl-
edge OF the necessity for the main
tenance OF liberty and progress of our
constitution and Its guarantees. 10
propose changes. rather for the sake
OF change than with any definite plan
Of improving the body polite.
Because courts have not manifested
as quick perception of the advantages
to be realized from these proposed
changes. and I'm some instances have
perhaps unduly broadened consttu-
tonal restrictions TO declare them In
valid, II Is proposed to change the
whole nature OF our judicial system
and render II subject to popular re-
view, either by what is called the
recall of the Judges when their con-
duct on the bench is not approved
by a majority OF the voting electorate
or by n recall OF decisions and a re-

For II thing, 1912 has been a wear
for spectacular criminal trials bv fed
|eral courts. The most spectacular of all
was the trial Of the dynamite cases in
indianapolis. 1t is doubtless the first
time in our history when forty defend
|ants appeared at the bar of any court
to plead 10 a criminal charge. First
time when an American jury retired with
the fate of forty defendants to be de
.cided, involving the necessity of a sepa-
rate verdict for each. 1t was the first
time when a jury returned unanimous
verdicts on counts of a criminal indict-
ment against thirty-eight men. 1t is
probable that this trial lasted over a
greater period Of time than any other
criminal case in the history of American
Jurisprudence.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1912.
WHEN THE INNOCENT SUFFER.

The yerdicts as announced by the jury
in the indianapolis dynamite cases were
rendered to an accompaniment of cries
and sobs from the wives and other rel
atives of the defendants. 1T is not diff
cult to imagine that the scene was Il
tragic one. Not hard to believe that the
court, the bar, the spectators, and the
jurors were all affected by it. When
the criminal is brought to the bar for
judgment, then is the time when the i'll
nOcent suffer for the guilty. The tragic
thing about the administration of what
we call Justice il the fact that the
weight of the penalty falls with more
crushing force upon the innocent family
of the criminal than it does upon him.
The last to believe him guilty are the
wife and children. In deciding the
question of his guilt the cold, calm an
aylsis of the law and evidence are not
possible for them. Did he not stand at
the bar and plead. Not guilty." To
those who love him and believe in him.
his simple denial oughtweighs the state
ment of the witnesses, the orat0ry of the
attorney for the prosecution and the in
structions of the judge to the jury.
Tet, If they be convinced of his guilt,
and If they are persuaded that his con
demnation is just, their sorrow. shame,
and humiliation is not assuaged by the
knowledge. Perhaps they would be hap
pier in the long run if they could go
through life believing that the husband,
father, or brother, is suffering unjustly
for a crime committed by others, or for
one never committed.
Let the man who is tempted TO enter
upon q criminal career remember that
when justice and Judgment overtake
him they will not smite him alone. Eor
the malefactor who has a spark Of man
hood or decencv left in him, the greatest
pang that the law can intlict OH him will
be the pang that arises from his kn0wl-
edge of those who suffer because he suf-
fers, and who. yet, have done no wrong.

war paint is Il mere ornament unless
