Salt Lake lacks but one thing nee

United States within a few years,
That one thing is not manufacturing,

railroads. We do need those, but
they are coming now through the
pressure of events and will come
faster. But we need more boosting

INJURED OFFICIAL
REMAINS SILENT
Mayor Park Will Lay
Entire Matter Before
Commissioners Today;
Assistant County At
torney Explains Law
Relating to Filing of
Complaint in the Case.

The coroner s jury, which for two
days has been hearing the evidence in
the inquest following the automobile ac.
cident which resulted in the death of
Elaine Paulson Thursday noon, last
night returned its verdict and placed
the blame for the tragedy on Chief ".
Fl. Bywater, In substance the Jurors
found that the accident was avoidable
and was due to reckless driving ordered
by the fire chief.
Assistant County Attorney Charles
NJ. Morris said last night that it was
his understa nding of the law that it
now devolved upon the district attor
ney's Office to decide whether COM
plant should be issued against Chief
Bywater Mr.. Morris said that should
no action be taken by the district at
torney and should a citizen wish to
swear to a complaint on the facts ad-
duced at the inquest and given in the
iury's verdict, a complaint charging
mansIaughter would be issued If the
question were left solely with him.
However, he said County Attorney I.
e. Wiley would first have to pass on
the question,
Bywater Is Silent.
When informed Of the iury's verdict
by Tribune reporter Chief Bywater
said
81 have no statement to make. y
The chief lay in his bed at fire head
quarters, where he was taken following
the collision of bis car with an iron
trolley. pole after the little girl had
been killed.
Mayor Samuel C. Park also said that
he had no formal statement to make,
adding that the entire matter would be
laid before the commission. probably on
Monday.
The Jury considered the case for an
hour and half before returning the
verdict, which is given in full herewith,
Coroner Harry S. Harper and his con-
stable were alone when the verdict was
returned shortly after o'clock, The
verdict was telephoned at once to AS.
sistant County Attorney Charles M.
Morris and to attorney Ray Van Cott,
who represented the state and Chief
Bvwater, respectively, at the trial.
Chief Gives Testimony.
In order to hear tho evidence of all
concerned in the tragedy the coroner
and jury went yesterday afternoon to
Chief Bywater 8 room at fire headquar
ters. Propped up in bed with pillows
the chief gave his testimony.
A peculiar phase Of the inquest has
been the numerous contradictions OF
witnesses in regard to the location and
number Of street cars involved In the
accident. Evidence heard on Friday
was substantially to the effect that
north and a southbound Ashton avenue
car were standing at the intersection
of Ninth South and Ninth East street
when the fire auto struck the girl. EN-.
ployses Of the street railway company
flatly contradicted this yesterday and
asserted that there were two south
bound cars, but no northbound car.

Mistake as to Fire.
Lieutenant J. T. Bowen Of the de-
partment yesterday testified that he
and his companions had been passed by
the chief on Ninth East street and that
they had gathered the impression that
there was a second fire Of which they
had not been informed.
Up to an early hour this morning not
a wheel had been turned at fire head
quarters since the accident Thursday,
except for the regular hitching drill at
7 clock every night. A pail of gloom
hangs over the department. 1t was
noticeably deepened last night after
news of the verdict reached the fire
men
Gathered in small groups they talked
in low tones Of the fatality and the ver-
dict of the coroner's jury. A deep
note of sympathy was noticeable in the
conversation, both for the parents Of
the girl and for the chief.
Chief HeartbrOken.

Law on his bed, while his wife sat be-"
side him dampening towel laid over
his brow. He refused to say anything
for publication, but the mental anguish
of his hour of trial was plainly writ
ten in his drawn features.
"Chief Bywater is suffering as much
as any one through the tragedy" said
an old friend last night. ''His heart
is naturally as tender as that OF a baby,
and it has been wrung by thoughts of
the death of the little girl
Location of Street Cars.
The location of the two street cars and
the directions they were going was
cleared Up yesterday by the testimony OF
street car men, II being declared that
both street cars were southbound, the
one on the south side of the intersec-
ton being in motion when the child was
struck and the other car at standstlll,

Apparatus Returning.
All the street car men testified that
they passed the FIRE apparatus on Ninth
East street, evidently returning from the
fire. This was denied by both the chief
and chauffeur, who asserted that there
was absolutely no fire apparatus on the
street when they drove south The leu
tenant in charge of the big automobile
corroborated the testimony of the chiefs

Bywatcr He said that the hre wagons

Coming Like Whirlwind.

"The machine was coming like whlrl-
wind, at a speed OF from hfty-hve to
sixty miles IN hour" said the witness.
"I saw the one little girl, but could see
no reason why the driver did not take
the east side Of the street, There was no
northbound car and the chauffeur could
have passed to the east OF us easily. The
street wes absolutely clear. I think my
car was about 200 feet south Of where
the child was struck down. I heard the
bell being rung I am sure of that. Our
car passed the horse brigade at Seventh
South street, evidently going away from
the fire.

endeavored to learn II the witness was
sure Of some Of his assertions, especially
In regard TO distances and the speed of
the car. In spite Of a grlling cross
questioning. the street car man stoutly
maintained that his car was 200 feet
from the corner and that the speeding
auto was going at rapid speed
MOtOrman Testified.
That the street car stopped at about
the same time the automobile was
smashed against the pole; that he heard
no bell or warning signal; that neither
the chief or his chauffeur were thrown
from the auto, and that he saw the fire

Three Classes of Workers.

O'Hara wanted to know whether the

which the witness arranged workers
into three classes-efficient, semi-effi
cient and inefficient.

any law can PROVIDE said DR.. Jud-
son.
On the subject of the minimum wage,
Dr.. Judson said:
"You may provide minimum wage
which will give q man what he needs;
no law can provide wage which will
give man what be wants.
William T. Abbot, vice president of
the Central Trust company, said the
men who are fitted for bank work are
not the kind who would marry unless
they could afford it,
He thought man could marry on
$1,000 if he did not try to follow the

Would Destroy Efficiency.

Mr., Abbott said:
az believe that the establishment Of
a minimum wage in bank would be
the most efficient method Of destroy
ing efficiency that human ingenuity
could devise
tThere is a wage fixed by custom
for starters in banks, but by custom
no employer need pay an employed
more than he earns; by law he might
have to.
A W. Harris, president Of the North
western university, followed the bank
er. He said that every girl should be
given at least the rudiments of bust
ness education. He believed it TO be
the duty of the community to SEQ that
the girl thrown on her own resources
was able to live respectfully.
HE. III. Hartman left a fortune of
900, ,DO0, ,000.'' said DR.. Harris, Hyet
that was not too much compensation
for a rare individual who mado whole
railroad systems more efficient and in
directly worked to the welfare of hun
dreds Of thousands Of working men
and women. Such men are needed by
the community because they make pos
sible the welfare Of less gifted indi-
viduals. They are organizers, lead
ers."
Explains His Position.
Mr.. Abbott recalled himself to the
stand, fearing his attitude had not
been made plain in his first testimony.
"My opinion is this, - he said, eff
the law should give $500 a year to the
man who said he couldn 7 live on 5000,
that man Is tneeds would immediately

D. Leonard Busby, president OF the
Chicago City Railway company, said
1000 employees Of the company earned
an average of $71.50 month. and many
of them saved money on it. Living Is

clared "I heard Sl75 office man

commission resumed its quest Of the
light on the relation of low wages to
vice today, Harry Pratt Judson, presi-
dent of the University of Chicago, was
called as witness.
Most college graduates enter busi.

thereafter financially able to marry.
"And what becomes of the girl grad

"I am happy to say that most of
them marry" replied the educator.
He said that school and college
courses should be shortened in order to
start young men and women on the
serious business of life earlier. He
declared that high school studies should
be fewer in number and that these
should be studied more thoroughly.

The longest time during the inquest
for a single witness was occupied by

going south when the girl was struck.
He said In substance that his car was
about 200 feet south OF the crossing
when he first saw the chiefs auto ap-
preaching The coming machine was
then about the center OF the intersec-
ton.
He gave the motorman three bells as

came to a stop just opposite the iron
pole about the sams instant that the
auto was wrecked against the pole, Col
