Big Squad Out.

There are more men out this year than
ever before, by a good margin. Men who
have the native ability, but who lacked
experience and who were consequently
afraid to get out last year and make
fools OF themselves, are out this year by
the dozens There are now about forty
men out. and there never was more
willing bunch on earth. This willingness
and the enthusiasm of the three Goa ches

go through every night puts 10 shame

nection with the state fair which

Regardless of the fact that bet

grounds this year. the officials have gone
ahead with their arrangements and have
succeeded In listing what they believe
Will be one OF the best meets ever held
at the grounds
The elimina tion of betting is expected
TO add TO the real interest In the races
The new arrangement calls for fewer
harness events and more running races.
Among the people who patronize races
are by far the most popular. and the
state fair officials have planned TO ap-
peal to the sporting spirit OF the people
and In this way Offset what might other
wise be decreasing patronage of the
races as result of the passage of the
anti-betting law.

Coach Has Promising Timber

By PAUL RAY,

-IE man who gets the University OF
Utah football team on the short
end OF bet this fall will stand
u better than nm even chance Of roll
ing over n little easy money. This
statement because the idea prevalent
among most Of the townspeople and for
that matter among a large proportion
Of the university students. is that the
varsity team will be a dead one this year
and lose every game.
In the opinion of the writer such Will
not be the case. At the outset no one
will contend that this years material
Is even in the same class with the
field which Coach Bennion had working
for him last fall. and all other things
being equal, this years bunch would be
joke In comparison with the champs.
The fact of the matter is, though. that
all other things are not equal. On
the contrary, there arc few things which

 Repeated declarations of friendli- ness of this government for the Mexi- can people were made in the message.
 But we are not the only friends of Mexico" the president declared. "The whole world desires her peace and progress; and the whole world is in terested as never before. Mexico lies at last where all the world looks on Central America is about to be touched by the great routes of the worlds trade and intercourse running from ocean to ocean to the isthnus The future has much In store for Mex. leo as for all of the states of Central America; but the best gifts can come to her only if she is ready and free to receive them and to enjoy them hon. orably.
 America, in particular America north and south, and upon both con tinents, waits upon the development of Mexico; and that development can be sound and lasting only if it be the product of genuine freedom, a just and ordered government founded upon law.

MlLLIONAIRES ARE JURORS
Judge Scores Several for Criticism of Mann Act-Caminett Says
 He Expects Conviction.

San Francisco, Aug. 28.-In the trial of Drew Camfnetti, son of the United States commissioner-genera of immigration, on a charge of white slavery under the Mann act, it seemed that the jury will be dominated by millionaires.
 The first four jurymen chosen, at any rate, are millionaire members of exclusive San Francisco and New York clubs, social leaders and men of big affairs. They declared they be- lieved in rigid enforcement of the Mann act, whatever the verdict might be. There are now in the box six duly qualified jurors.
 It Is believed the jury will be con- pleted today. Caminetti's lawyers have exhausted five of their ten per emptory challenges and the prosecu- tion four of It's six
 Though he will not plead guilty, as was rumored, Drew Caminetti de- clared he expected to be convicted. His chief concern, he said, was to avert being branded white shaver.
 "I erred, as have many others,' he said, "and I was caught. However, I didn't persuade Miss Norris to go to Reno for immoral purposes. She fled from Sacramento to escape scandal. I wronged her, but I am not a white slaver"
 Judge Van Fleet, in the examina- tion of prospective jurors, thus far has scored two candidates prejudiced against the Mann federal white slave act on the ground that it was interfer ence with personal liberty"
 "The act does not relate to personal liberty at all except as to criminal acts" said the judge sternly. There is no such thing as personal liberty to commit crime. The sooner people find this out the better it will be for so- ciety"
 Louis Hsnchett and Marshall Har- ris were the men who drew the courts fire by their criticism of the Mann act Harris qualified his comment by saying he did want to see the law en- forced against professional procurers.

He had to convince an attendant of his con nection with the case before the lat ter would give him chair. A touch of color was added to the scene by the presence of four Dominion federal police, wearing spiked helmets. Three hundred persons were standing LID back of the seating area.
 A battery of camera men scaled the judges bench and snapped the pris. oner again and again The old sher. If, Aylmer, greeted Thaw cordially.

 Counsel lounged about the tables, awaiting the judges appearance. Then a newspaper photographer rapped for order, and when the crowd looked up, took picture.

 Your lordship," he said, since this petitioner obtained a writ of habeas corpus he has filed a notice of discon- tinuance, thereby declaring that no other proceeding be had in this course. This action, 1 believe, is GOV cred under our code of civil proceed ure."
 Here the lawyer referred to clauses in the code bearing on the case. Therefore" he continued, I've stand in the position of having made no ap- plcation for a writ"
 Hector Verret then stated New Yorks opposition to the motion. and was promptly overruled, when the demonstration for Thaw broke out.

 Superior Judge Globansky, hearing arguments of Thaw's counsel on a mo- ton to discontinue a writ of habeas corpus, absolutely refused to enter. tain the objections of Hector Verret representing New York. This was greeted with a wild outburst of cheer. ing by a thousand Canadian specta- tors

 Thaw arose and bowed three times like stage star taking a curtain call before a sympathetic audience. His cheeks were flushed, his big eyes shone, but he maintained his com. posture.
 Thaw was calm and wore a new gray suit. He sat with his back to the spectators and began talking in 2 lew tone to his lawyers.
