THE OUTLAWS TOMBSTONE

State. Recollection is also fresh aq
TO the pursuit, capture, trial. and exc

IT oLoRIEs IN DEGRADATION.

The Smoot organ glories In it's de-
gradtion, and in the exposures that are
made of it's fasihcations in its reputed
interviews with people who have given
IL no interviews at all. 1t seems co
think 1t "cuts' 10 impose on its
readers by printing fake interviews
with people. and then when it is
brought to book on account Of these
slsifcatious, it naively (both spelings)
pretends that those who make the eI'
posure are jealous of its great "news.
Such triumphant Tascality as that is
easily understood by the public, and 1t
necessarily draws down the indignant
contempt which it merits from its read
ere.
Again, speaking of the bill that was
introduced in the U. 8. Senate by
Smoot to confiscate mining claims on
certified lists of school lands, it says;
Among the amusing features Of the
inception Of the agitation WAS the Salt
Lake Tribune's indignant excitement, "
when il found Smoot 3 name connected
with the bill, etc. Nothing of that
kind is in the least true. The Tribune
merely called attention to the objec
tionable features in that bill, made
no attack on Smoot whatever in con-
uection with it, but commended atten.
tion to the bad features of the bill by
the mining interests of this State,
These mining interests promptly re.
sponded, and are engaged in efforts
to eliminate the Objectionable portions
of the bill. There was nothing the
least indignant, nothing in the least
excited about what The Tribune said
about the bill. We found that il was
q bad bill, much in need of correction
terests. And, of course, we were aware
all the time that Smoot was not the
author of the bill, since he knows moth.
ing about matters of that kind. The |
bill would necessarily have to come |
to him from another source, and the |
fact that it came from the State Land |
Commission of Utah is not in the least |
reassuring as to its fairness to the |
mining men. However, all that The |
Tribune desired in the matter has been |
effected. Public attention has been
called to the vicious provisions of the |
bill, and measures are being taken to |
correct them
In all this the Smoot organ appears
to delight to wallow in the mire of |
it's own rascality, and to glory in the
Infamous record that it is continually |
making from day to day. II has got |
30 that nothing can be depended upon
which originates in the columns of that
organ. Both of the peuitentiary guards
it has quoted, emphatically repudiate
its purported interviews with them;
one of these guards saying be had given
It no interview at all, and the other
stating that what be said had been
so entirely misrepresented that IL was
wrong to connect his name with il IN
any way. SO low has it fallen, that
it even gave fake interview with
the Secretary Of the, |. ". w, who
repudiates everything that it attrib.
utes to him in it's alleged interview.
And so it goes from day TO day.
Nothing can be depended on that is
irst seen in its columns, and those who
pay their money for it. either by way
Of casual buying or By way of regular
must feel themselves
and bilked every time tbey
read it's falsifications.

PROTEST SMITHS
WORK IN BANK
Representatives of Depositors
Declare They Fear ex-Treas-
urer's Work in Institution.

The Depositors' Protective Associa-
ton today made vigorous protest
against the. action of the State De-
partment of Banking in allowing Ray
mond e. Smith, the alleged wrecker
cess to the books and papers of the
institution.
Judge Henry B. Tower and Michael
Kane Jr., called at the bank to pre-
sent. the associations formal COM
plant to L. r. Vredenburgh, deputy
banking commissioner.
1T is an absurd, an unheard-o sit
uation," said Mr.. Tower. ''It is an
affront to the intelligence of the bank
examiners. 1t is an insult to the de-
positors, who not only would be
laughed at If they demanded privi
lege similar to Smiths, but who have
actually been denied information that
they have sought and petitioned for.
Termed a Disgrace.
Furthermore, 1t is downright
disgrace that this man Smith, after
running away and leaving the bank
the most complete wreck ever known
to the New Jersey authorities, was
greeted upon his return as a prodi-
gal and allowed to re-enter the bank
and take part in the investigation in
the role of a bank examiner himself.
1t is absurd.
"rhere is no telling what Smith
can do in the bank. We have good
evidence of what he succeeded in
doing before. despite the fact he was
supposed to be under the vigilant
supervision of our directors. Now,
even If he is under the vigllant su-
pervision of the bank examiners,
there is no telling what he will be
able to do to shield, himself and any
others who may have been associated
with him or cognizant of his manip-
ulations. He is a clever man. The
banking department practically ad-
mits that he is smarter than their
examiners in displaying such anxiety
for his assistance"
Michael Kane, Jr., was equally en-
phatic in decrying the action of the
banking department in permitting
Smith to enter the bank at all.
Mr.. Vredenburgh is quoted as say
ing last night that Smith had found a

DR.. J. B. Murphy Tells of
Scarlet Fever Discovery

NEW YORK, Sept 1S.-Dr. j. B.
Murphy, the surgeon who cared for
Colonel Roosevelt in Chicago when
he was shot, returned yesterday on
the 1mperator from London, where he
attended the International Medical
Congress. 1t was demonstrated at
the meeting that rubbing the patient
with eucalyptus oil in scarlet fever
cases prevented contagion, he as
serted.
IF a child is rubbed daily with the
oil directly the case of scarlet fever
is discovered" he said, mo one else
will contract the fever. and there is
no need of going to the expense of
quarantining the house or separating
the child suffering from the fever
from it's parents"
Another discovery reported at the
congress by DR. Henry Head. of the
London Hospital. was that insanity
eradicates itself in the third gener-
alton.

CURRENCY BILL is
PASSED BY HOUSE
Practically Intact After Three
Days of Effort to Amend
1t on Floor.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1s.-The adj
ministration currency bill today
reached the end of the first stage of
its Legislative career, passage by the
House. The measure. after three days
of efforts to amend, reached final
vote In the House practically un-
changed in its essential provisions.
The vote was 2s6 to S4
Some House Democrats were in
clined to look with disfavor on an
amendment incorporated in the meas
ure last night at the suggestion of
the banking committee The amend
ment. proposed by Representative
Fess, Republican, Ohio, included a
statement that none of its provisions
were calculated to repeal the law of
1900 prescribing the gold money
standard or to disturb the parity of
money.
Chairman Glass, however. declared
that the amendment only made clear
the meaning of the bill as originally
framed. A few minor amendements
changing phraseology or designed to
make clear possible antiquities in
the bill were the only changes made
the consideration of hundreds of
amendments offered by Republicans
and Progressives.
Representative Wingo, of Arkan-
sas, demanded a record vote on the
so-called gold standard amendment,
and on a division 165 Democrats
vote against It. A roll call was or
dered. tt
The roll clal, however. changed the
vote to 29S in favor of the amend
ment to SO against it. All those vot-
ing mo" were Democrats
The Progressives offered a motion
to reconmit the bill to the commit
tee with Instructions to incorporate
O provision to prohibit interlocking
directorates in national banks. 1t
was defeated 276 to II.
Passed by the House, the bill will
go to the Senate, where a lengthy
consideration before the banking
committee awaits it. 1t will prob
ably be some weeks before the meas
ure is reported to the Senate. where
further debate is expected to delay
the final passage of the bill.
