CARBON COUNTY CASES
MAY co BY DEFAULT.
Not Likely That Commission.
erS Will Press Charges
Against Officials.

Unless a grand jury is drawn TO In
vestigate the alleged shortages in the
funds OF Carbon county, there Is not
likely to be any prosecutions of the sus-
pected officials. according to Wesley l..
King, manager of the American Surety
company, which Is involved In the af-
fair through its bond connections with the
county auditor and county treasurer. The
negligence of the county commissioners
and their utter lack of business methods
was SO largely responsible for the SUD-
posed pecuatons that they can institute
prosecution with very poor grace, thinks
Mr.. King.
This statement was made last night by
Mr.. King at the conclusion OF an ex-
haustive investigation into the financial
affairs OF Carbon county on behalf of the
company, which, should complaints be
made charging defalcation, would have
to reimburse the county for the amount
involved in the bonds OF tho suspected Of
ficals,
Mr.. King made the following statement:
There seems to be no disposition on
the part OF the county commission
ers to press the matter OF shortage.
and until a complaint Is made the
American Surety company cannot take
any steps. Our investigation has
shown conclusively that the lack OF
business system on the part OF the
commissioners made shortage very
easy matter IN iaCt almost invited
II There was no check on the coun-
ty treasurer county auditor what
ever. They could approve bills and
Issue warrants. covering them. with
out the commissioners knowing that
snch bills had been incurred or pre-
sented. The commissioners even went
SO far as TO supply the auditor and
treasurer with stamp facsimile sigma
lures with which to attach the sup
posed approval OF tho commissioners
to any bill whatsoever.
J made no charge Of culpabilty
against the commissioners themselves
except TO their own negligence,
which made possible the supposed de-
facatiops. II is hardly likely, in view
OF such negligence, that they will
file complaints against the suspected
officials.

CANDIDATES BUSY IN
STUDY OF GEOGRAPHY
Country Delegates Already
Are Protesting Against
Salt Lakes Claims.

Geography, as usual. appears likely to
be an important study for the Republi-
can state convention. The country dele
gates are already preparing to protest
that Salt Lake county is getting too many
offices, TO which Salt Lake will retaliate
with the declaration that many OF the
candidates for office credited with being
residents OF Salt Lake county should be
credited TO other counties.
For example. Governor Spry was a resi-
dent OF Tooele county prior to his ap-
pointment as United States marshal some
years ago. and for the election purposes
many in Salt Lake county wish 10 con-
slider him still n resident OF Tooele coun-
ty c. 5. Tingey. secretary Of state, is
originally from Juab county, but the coun-
try delegates Insist that he has been
must come before the convention as a
Salt Lake candidate. Lincoln Pelly, dep
uty state auditor and candidate for state
auditor. comes originally from M!llard
county. but he has lived IN Salt Lake
county for some time and The country
delegates will consider him a Salt Lake
candidate.
Among the candidates for state office
and their present residences are the fol-
lowing:
For Judge of supreme COURT, A. Fricls
OF Salt Lake.
For congress-Josep Howell of Cache.
John F. Chidester OF Sevier. Bonner Y.
Smith Harry Joseph and c. f. Marks OF
Salt Lake Jacob Johnson OF Sanpete and
NJ. NJ Bush OF Tooele.
For governor-William Spry and 6. II.
Love OF Salt Lake.
For secretary OF stste-C. S. Tlneev and
T. 4. Edwards Of Salt Lake and David
Mattson OF Weber
For attorney general--A. r. Barnes,
John F, Bowman and +. r. Farnsworth.
Jr. OF Salt Lake.
For state treasurer-Msrgsret Zane
Witcher and Jesse n. JcwEes of Salt
Lake and Sam G.. Dye or Weber.
For state auditor-LDcoln Kelly of Salt
Lake. c. F. Jones OF Summit and Ivor
A Jay OF Tooele.
Salt Lake candidates for office will
probably declare that Governor Spry
should be credited 10 Tooele county, c. S.
Tiugey TO Juab. Jesse II, Jewkes 10
Emery and Lincoln Kelly 10 Millard.

MATTSOV AVID DYE
BOTH AFTER WEBER
Interesting Contest on Be
tween State Treasurer and
County Clerk.

State Treasurer David Mattson and
County Clerk Sam Dye, both Of Weber
county. are having an interesting con-
test for the control of the Weber
county delegation to the state conven,
ton Mr.. Mattson is q candidate for
secretary of state and Mr.. Dye wants
to succeed Mr.. Mattson as state treas.
urer.
The contest in Weber county is likely
to eliminate one Of these candidates for
state office. Whichever one secures the
Weber county delegation to the state
eonvntion will be a formidable candi-
date for the Office he seeks. For this
reason the other candidates for state
Office are watching eagerly the Webor
county contest.
Both candidates are particularly
strong in Weber county and each has a
large following. The contest between
tho two is almost certain to be close.
In the event of nearly equal division
Of the Weber county delegation be-
tween tho two candidates il is consid.
cred not unlikely that the two will
reach an understanding that the dele
gates will try for one Office first and
then for the other in the event that
they fail TO secure the first one, If
one candidate secures a large majority
of the delegation. however, no such ar
rangemeDt is likely.

.DEFAU[T|NC CASHIER
WILL PLEAD GUILTY
Believed by Surety Company
Agent That Embezzler Is
Concealing Property.

Clyde Jackson, former cashier of
the Helper State bank, confessed EN-
bezzler of more than $4,000 of the
banks funds, will be arraigned at
Price this morning. 1t Is understood
that he will plead guilty, and will ask
to be sentenced immedj ately.
with Jackson behind the bars at
the state prison ! am confident that
admissions will be speedily forthcom-
ing from him involving other men iu
the populations AT the Helper bank, -
said Wesley +. King, local manager of
the American Surety company, yes
terday,
That other men were involved, and
that they are aiding Jackson to hide
the proceeds Of the embezzIement. Mr..
King is certain
Jackson s shortage totslIod $12.-
2o4.52. OF this amount, $4,000 was
covered by the bond furnished BY the
American Surety company. leaving
S2Eo4.52 actual loss to the bank. Since
his arrest Jackson has assigned to the
surety company property valued at
$4,000. which will be divided propor
tionately between the surety com
psuy and the bank.
Mr.. King said that a thorough in
vestigation made By his COMPANY had
convinced him that Jackson is CON
ceaing property, or cash, representing
a large part of the amount embezz]ed.
also that he has confederate or con,
federates aiding him in tho conceal.

Expect Decision Soon.

While it is not definitely known wher
word will be received from Washington
1T is expected that some Information may
be obtalrable this month and that the
commission will be able to plan To start
the work next year,
. The letter from Mr.. Blossom is as fol-
lows;
The undersigned, in company with
the superintendent OF wuterworks and
water supply, inspected the proposed
reservoir sites at the head OF Big Cot
tonwood canyon, August g. and as
soon as assurance Is received that the
United States government has grant
cd TO the city the right to construct
said reservoirs, would respectfully
recommend that such preliminary
work rs can be done before the cold
weather be started at once.
In our judgment II will be entirely
feasible and practical to place one
dam at the outlet 10 Lake Phoebe
and another at the outlet OF what is
known Is Twin lakes, and would re-
spectfully recommend that the sum Of
$4,000 be appropriated for immediate
use In making such preliminary inves-
legations as are necessary to perfect
the plans and clear the foundations
for the proposed dams.
