REPORT ON
APPROPRIATIONS
Totals Will Probably Be in
Excess Of Estimated
Revenues.

The general appropriation bill, pro
viding for the expenses of the state
government and the needs of the vari-
GUS state institutions for the ensuing
two years, will probably be reported
to the legislature today by the joint
committee on appropriations.
The committee met all day yester.
day and will meet again at $3.50 O clock
this forenoon, Tho committee passed
finally on the appropriations for the
various state institutions, but was un.
able to complete the list Of special ap.
preparations because Of the fact that
several bills carrying special appropria-
tions are still pending. The totals of
the bill have not yet been made, but
it is estimated that it will authorize
from 100000 to 100000 In excess of
the estimated state revenues for the
ensuing biennium.
appropriations to cover a deficit OF
$4,000 and appropriations for new
normal building at the state university
were authorized by the committee. The
committee likewise authorized an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the construc-
tion of a new chemistry building at
the Utah Agricultural college. The
university will get no girls dormitory
this year, unless the appropriations
committee changes its mind, or the
members of the senate and the house
succeed in getting the appropriation
in the bill on the floor,

ELECTROCUTION
BILL ADOPTED
Amendment to Allow Choice
by Condemned Persons
Is Killed.

The senate yesterday, by unanimous
vote, passed the Rideout electrocutioE
bill The measure substitutes the cleo
trio chair for the moose and the rifle.
1t provides that in all cases where the
death penalty is to be inflicted as pun
ishment for crime electrocution be
the method used. The bill ig d copy
of the New jersey law on the sub
ject,
Senator A. L. Booth opposed the bill
at first, but finally voted for it. He
thought the condemned person should
be given the opportunity to choose the
method by which he was to be executed.
He pointed out that in the early days
OF the history of Utah as a territory
the condemned was given his choice
between shooting, hanging and be-
heading. No one ever chose behead-
ing, and that portion of the law was
repealed.
Senator Booth proposed an amend
ment permitting the condemned to
choose shooting or electrocution. The
amendment was voted down and the
bill unanimously passed in its original
form. The measure has the indorse-
ment of the governor and the members
of the state board of corrections.

ALLEGED ATTEMPT
TO BLOW UP PLANT
Supposed Explosive Concoc-
ton Is Hurled Upon Floor
at Station.

The police were called upon yestcr-
day to investigate what WAS believed
to be an attempt TO blow mp tho Og-
den Packing company's plant at $40
West First South street. The occasion
of CONSERVATION was the finding in
the basement Of a small sealed can,
said to contain nitro-glycerln.
-Four years ago, when the Intermoun-
tain Packing company occupied the
site Of the present company, ono Of the
operatives was killed by the bloWing
up of the ice machine, The cause OF
the explosion was never satisfactorily
explained, it is said. Consequently,
when Yesterdays horrifying news
reached the police they turned pale
In answer to phone call to police,
Mounted Patrolman d. H. Crowthers
and Jaller Thomas Gillespie went to
the packing company's plant and got
the can with it's tcrror-inspirlng con
tents, Carefully the can was cut
open and clear liquid drained off.
Remaining was stick, three inches
long and half an inch in diameter, OF
amber colored substance. Upon ex-
posure to the air the stick gave off
was placed on the rear steps at police
headquarters and policemen gathered
round to enjoy the thrill Of standing
in the presence Of possible humiliation.
A newspaper reporter, against whose
responsibility certain overt insinuatlons
have been made, Joined the circle. AS
If his alleged responsibility had sud
denly developed into madness, he
grasped the can, and, with poe ket
knife. cut off piece of the amber
colored substance, unheedIng the while
the warnings of the spectators, who be"
gan to back off. Walking into head
above his head, he threatened to drop
it to The floor and blow up head
quarters.
Faces blanched as he progressed,
Within the captains office Detective
George Cleveland, seemingly as reckless
and irresponsible as the reporter, defled
the newspaper man to do his worst. He
did He threw the amber stick to the
floor. 1t burst into yellow, splitting
flames. Two valiant detectives
bruised each others feet trying to
stamp upon it. The stuff splashed
and the office was filled with spattering
fire and suffocating fumes. Soon it
all went out.
"What was it9'' asked one of the
policemen who had firmly believed the
amber substance to be nitro -glycerin.
Phosphorus, answered Detective
Cleveland, who had defed the reporter.
"It must always be kept under water,
usually in sealed cans. or it is subject
TO spontaneous combustion he further
explained.
No satisfactory explanation could be
found last night as to how the can Of
phosphorus got into the basement Of
the packing compapy's plant.
