UPON TRUST BILLS
Opinion Will Be Ready When the Pres

Vacation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. When
President Wilson returns to Wash.
ingtop enrly next week he will find
Attorney General McReynolds pre-.
pared to take up in detail all the pro-
posed ''trust legislation which has
appeared in the form of bills in con-
gress during the last nine months.
A comparative summary of these
bills, comprising some portions of
every measure that has appeared on
the congressional horizon in that time
has been prepared by the department
Of justice and is now in the hands of
G.. &. Todd, assistant to Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds, in charge of trust
prosecutions. When Mr.. Todd has
gone into the subject OF trust legisla-
tion thoroughly the digest of the bills
will be turned over TO the attorney
general, and by the time the president
returns his pr iDcipal law adviser will
be ready to give his opinions on the
value of action In congress.
That President Wilson s special mes
sage on the trust question will be de-
livcred soon after congress convenes

THOMAS TALKS TO THE
DEMOCRATIC WOMEN
Various Questions Discussed by the Ma
tional League, Now in Session
at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE first
day of the Woman 8 National Demo.
cratic league, in convention here, closed
tonight with discussion of tho trusts,
the Mexican problem, the tariff and
currency laws, woman suffrage, and pro-
posed reform legislation on general sub
iects. Senator Thomas of Colorado and
Representative Barlsley of Missouri
were the speakers. The convention will
close tomorrow with the election Of Of
ficers.
The suffrage question was disposed
of without reaching the floor Of the
convention. The league leaders decided
that the object of their organization
was to disseminate the principles of
Democracy and that ms long as the suf
frage question was not such it could
not be recognized.
Joseph w Folk, solicitor of the state
department, addressed the convention in
the afternoon. He said that he believed
the Mexican problem would be solved
before long in accordance with the pol
icy of President Wilson, He asserted
that the Democratic administration had
"taken the graft out of the tariff and
had reformed the currency system with
model law, thereby saving the nation
from domination by a few money-mad
finaucIers.'
Senator Thomas of Colorado told the
delegates that President Wilson had led
the great financial institutions to the
mouruers bench, where they will now
serve the people instead of controlling
business.
''The Woman IS National Democratic
league said Senator Thomas, marked
the first step TO universal suffrage. In
the final rise of women to the side of
man in political life she is bound to
have the ballot he concluded.

Cash Dividend.

The initial investi;,s ton OF the postof-
flee inspectors showed that II was some
times the custom OF clerks In the money
order division TO divide the surplus ash
on hand in the division, accrulng through
over-remitta noes and in other ways. An
Instance of this was discovered in 1911
when it was learned that superintendent
Orawe1l williams had found surplus OF
s93. which was divided equally among the
four employees OF the division.
Later an error which made a short
age OF $l00 was discovered. and Mt
the request OF the superintendent of the
division the clerks refunded their portion
of the surplus and the shortage was
made good

TO follow the idea contained In the re-

BAR SPR0b|NG
CHARGE AGAINST
LAWYER HANSON
Conduct of Former County
Attorney Is Made the Sub
ject of Investigation by
State Association.
MAY URGE IMMEDIATE
PROSECUTION OF CASE
Understood That Inquiries
Are Made as to Why the
Charges Were Not Pressed
by County Attorney.

The Utah State Bar association is
conducting quiet investigation into
the conduct of Willard Hanson, former
county attorney of Salt Lake county,
which led to his arrest on charges of
attempted bribery and the theft Of cvi-
dcnce from the police station on Sep
tember }, 1913 The association. it is
understood, has been asked to make
inquiries as to why the charges filed
against Hanson were not pressed by
County Attorney l. f, Wiley.
Should the bar association find
reasonable grounds for believing Han
son guilty it is probable that the asso-
citation viii, either urge the immediate
prosecution Of the former county at
torncy or commence proceedings look
ing TO his disbarment
When the Hanson case came before
the court it was dismissed on tecbui-
cality, said to have been caused by the
county attorney in failing to prepare
the complaint properly. 1t was expected
that new complaint would be filed
by the county attorney. but thus far
this has not been done. Hanson was
released without bail and apparently
no further effort has been made by the
county attorney to prosecute the case.
Mr. Wiley never has made public his
reasons for failing to press the charges.
History of Case.
Hanson was arrested shortly after
midnight on the morning of September
5. 1912, as he was emerging from an
al]ey leading from State street to the
rear entrance of the police station. He
was carrying blood-stained coat Sc
cured from Il storeroom in the police
station. The coat was the one worn
by Thomas McGills when he was slain
by Alfred Sorenson IN March. 1912.
The arrest OF Hanson was accomplished
after carefully arranged trap had been
laid for him. He is said To have pre-
vously attempted to bribe Detectives w.
G. Geese and Herbert LeiChter and they
reported the attempt to Chief OF Police
Il. +. Grant Acting under orders from
the chief the two officers are said TO
have accepted the money and to have
arranged with Hanson to permit him TO
enter The police station and take away
the coat which was an important piece
of evidence against SorenSon, who was II
client Of Hanson. He was watched enter
ing the station by Inspector Carl n. Carl
son and Captain John j. Roberts. who
afterward arrest the former county
attorney
