TRAIN CREW
HELD AT FAULT
Investigation Fixes Blame for
Freight Wreck at High
Bridge.

In accordance with the custom Of the
companies, au Investigation Of the acci.
dent that occurred at High Bridge,
Ida, January ID, 1913, when freight
train ran away and was derailcd TO
avoid collision with another train,
an attempt has been made To fix the
blame for the accident.
a board Of inquiry consisting of rep
reseutatives Of the Westinghouse Air
Brake company. the New York Air
Brake company and the Oregon Short
Line Railroad company has decided
that Conductor W. o. Smith failed TO
know that his air brakes were in good
working order descending the heavy
grade. Also Brakeman G.. l.. Wilson
and J. j. Brown were negligent in fail
ing TO turn up proper number Of re-
tainers as called for by air brsbc in
structionS. The engineer who sounded
the WHISTLE on his engine repeatedly,
attracting the crew Of the waiting
train. and the brakeman who let the
train in on the siding, are credited in
the report with having prevented the
collision of the two freight trains.
The train was turned onto n siding,
from where it was automatically de-
rallied. The crew jumped and none
were injured except brakeman. who
sustained slight bruises

COMMISSION IN FAVOR

The bill proposing changes IN the
liouor law. as it affects Salt Lake and
Ogden, is expected in the house to-day
or tomorrow. The liquor dealers OF
Salt Lake have three amendments 10
offer to the present law. The first OF
these is that the state statute be SO
altered as to give tho city commission
crs the power To regulate the hours of
closing saloons. The state law now
specifies that the closing hour in first
and second class cities shall not be
later than L. clock, in other places
10 clock is the limit. As Salt Lake
aud Ogden are tbe only first class and
second class cities that are "wet. -
ihosc two places arc tho only ones af-

II j. understood that the retail
LIQUOR dealers here want to extend the
closing hour TO ! o'clock, IL is under
stood. moreover. that such extension Is
satisfactory 10 the city commissioners
aud TO The chief of police. Many rea-
sons are given by the saloon men why
they should be permitted TO Keep open
till | o'clock.

NOT ENTER FIGHT

Not caring 10 be accused OF dabo]ing in
politics, the city commission decided
yesterday 10 take a passive stand In con-
ncction With the legislative desires of
local salooDmen. who waited upon the
commission Friday To seek its supper, for
an amendment to The present state liquor
law.
After the hearing Friday the COM
nlissioners assured tho saIoonmen OF
their moral support, but under yester-
no activity on the part OF the city TO
aid the saloonmen IT was decided TO
play the part OF tho distinguished party
and to accept the present provisions OF
the state law and enforce them 80 long
as they are not amended.
One OF the desires of the LIQUOR men
IL TO nave the law amended so az TO
give cities OF the first and second class
complete power Of regulating saloons In
dependently OF the district courts.

L. G. Petersen, living at 25l North
Fifth West street, complained to the
police jast night that his neighbors have
been uppropriatiug bis hams, bacon and
other provisions, and that lie has in
that way been deprived. Petersen says
that on divers occasions bis smoke
house has been entered during the noe
turnal hours and that it requires a too
large expenditure to keep the lsrder

He seemed positive that a search Of
the home OF one cf the residents Of his
street would reveal the missing meats,
and asked the police to search said
premises, but the police advised him
that this could not be done until a
search warrant can be obtained.

License Is High.

The fact is also taken into consid-
Grafton that the saloon license is hign,
aud that saloons arc no longer resort
ING 10 a breaking Of the laws TO in
crease their income. There is there
fore desire TO extend the principle Of
the fair deal al around.
In Ogden the saloons are supposed to
close AT . o'cioclI III accordance with
I'm ordinance passed by the city au~
thnrities, but there is said to be much
dissatisfaction with the system in
many quarters. One Of the sources of
that dissatisfaction is said 10 be the
ipahiljty 70 enforce the ordinance.
The proposition put forward by the
retail liquor dealers TO curtail the nuro-
her of saloons has met with general
approval. The new legislation will give
city commissioners power to limit the
number of saloons on the basis Of one
to each 1000 of population, In order
TO reach that basis, however, there is
10 be no revocation Of present licenses.
It is intended to arrive at the limita-
tion by Withholding any more licenses,

Iaw which will be contained in thc new
measure Will be requirement that
