STORRS'S VICTORY
NOT YET CERTAIN
Department Of Justice Does Not Re.
gard Marshalship Issue az
Settled

The department Of Justice is not dis
posed to regard the recommendation of
George A. Storrs for United States mar
shall for Utah made by the Democratic
state committee last Sunday as final.
None of the other candidates for mar
shall has withdrawn his application for
the place and the officers Of the de-
partment Of justice indicated that they
would continue to investigate the claims
of all the candidates for the place be-
fore passing finally on the question
A press dispatch from Washington
last night stated that officials of the ad-
ministration declined to state whether
or not the action Of the Democratic
state committee in indorsiug the Storrs
candidacy would result in the appoint
ment of the Provo man. News of the
action. they said, was made known to
the administration Immediately after
the last Sunday meeting. To all appear
ances, the dispatch continues, the action
has not impressed itself upon the de-
partment of Justice as final.
Friends of Aquila Nebeker, it is up-
derstood, are continuing their campaign
to secure his appointment as United
States marshal. They regard the action
of the state committee in resembling it's
former action as irregular, and as hav.
Ing been done unfairly since no notice
of the reconsideration OF the former ac-
tion was indicated in the call for the
meeting

LEAVES IDAHO RANCH
COVERED WITH SNOW
A. S. Trude of Chicago Re.
turns From Summer Spent
in Gem State.

A. S. Trude, prominent attorney of
Chicago, passed through Salt Lake City
yesterday, with party, after having
spent the summer in the Island Park
country near the Yellowstone park, in
Idaho. He is travelling IN his private
car, Rainbow" and left Salt Lake
City yesterday afternoon on the Los
Angeles Limited, his route to be over
the Oregon Short Line, Union Pacific
and Chicago e. Northwestern.
AS Mr.. Trude was in this city for
only few hours, he was able to see
but a few of his many friends here,
for which he expressed sincere regret
shortly before leaving for the east,
when seen on his car in the Oregon
Short Line yards. Discussing the trip,
Mr.. Trude said that he left his home in
a days travel to Ashton, found not a
sign Of the white mantle. He said:
We have a great climate there
and it is the ideal place to spend
the summer, but snow came little
early this fall. 1t made hunting
good and was In no way unwelcome,
only 1T seems queer to leave two
feet of snow and have to discard
the sleighs the same day because
there WASH t a sign of it when we
got to Ashton. We started from
home with four bob sleds and there
was plenty of snow all the way to
Trude station, but it was all gone
when we got to Ashton.
We shall be in Chicago for q short
time and then Mrs. Trude and
shall go to Los Angeles for the
more severe part of the winter. We
have had r splendid summer, al
though most of our guests left
about three weeks ago, Among
those who visited with us during
the summer were DR.. Frank Bill
ings of Chicago and former Senator
Fred t. Dubois and family of
Idaho.
Included in the party with Mr.. Trude
yesterday were Mrs. Trude, their son,
Walter Trude, and others Miss Louise
Aubry, trained nurse of Salt Lake
City, came with them this far She
has spent several summers with them in
Idaho.

LEAK IN SHIPPING
ACCOUNT IS FOUND
Three Employees Of Jensen
Creamery Company Ar
rested on Serious Charge.

Following a week Of investigation by
police detectives into an alleged short
age in the shipping accounts Of the Jen-
sen Creamery company, involving a
large amount Of money said to aggre-
gate more than $4,000, and extending
over q year and half, three arrests
were made last night,
Early last evening John r. Gushing.
store room clerk for the company, was
arrested. A few hours later C.. B. Gui-
yer, a teamster, was taken into custody,
and just before midnight j. T. Thorne,
shipping clerk, was taken from his home
to the city Jail, The aid Of the police in
locating the leak in the company's ac-
counts was asked week ago this morn
ing Detectives George f. Cleveland
and B. II, Seager were assigned to the
case, and last night they said that they
had complete confessions from Cushing
and Culver. The arrest of Thorne fol
lowed the conference Of the detectives
with the men first arrested.
According to Detectives Cleveland
and Seager, tho men confessed to hav-
ing practiced system Of collusion IN
selling butter from. the company s
storeroom and dividing the proceeds
three ways. The detectives say that
the daily custom was for Cushing to
deliver an extra case of butter to
Thorne from the storeroom without
charging him with it. Thorne, in turn
is said to have checked it out to the
teamster, Culver, without including il
in the regular list of the teamster e
load. When the driver returned with
the proceeds of the load, the money on
the extra case, amounting ordinarily
to about $2l, was held out, according
to the detectives, and divided
The men were held on open charges
Thorne protested that he did not know
why he should be arrested. w. r. Jen.
sen, president Of the company, returned
from California last night. He was
met by E. w. Ellis, secretary and treas.
urer, and told of the development in
the case. A conference between the
officials Of the company and Detec,
tives Cleveland and Seager was ar.
ranged for this morning. Efforts of
friends to get the prisoners out on bail
last night failed.

Say 1t Is Feasible.

Engineers Of recognized ability
have gone over the proposal to
span the Grand canyon with steel,
making surveys and examining into
the physical conditions which would
be encountered in such a magnid-
cent undertaking. These have re-
ported that the plan is perfectly
feasible and are willing to under
take the work. To my mind this
highway appears TO be one of the
best schemes yet presented for
bringing the west to the attention
of eastern people. It ought to be
built, and I now have no doubt that
it will be.

Not only was the meeting a success

Importance of the club, the Rev. Mr.

Great Interest Displayed.

Concerning the proposed automc-
bile highway from Arizona over tho
Grand Canyon Of the Colorado and
up through Utah and Idaho into the
Yellowstone National park, there is
a wonderful spirit of interest dis
played. Publicists are taking up
the matter in favorable mention OF
the project, and it begins to look to
me ns If the eastern demand alone
will bring about construction OF the
great road, which would be one of
the finest highways in all the world
from every point Of view. Business
men Of the east express enthusias-
tic anxiety to spend their vacations
in making such scenic trip by an-
tomobile rs this route would afford.
Men to whom / talked are keyed up
TO extraordinary interest in the
scheme, and to me there appears to
be no obstacle in the way of con-
struction.
