Improve Trunk Roads.

- 1t is proposed to spend the money
this year in such manner that each gen
eral section of the county will have
considerable work done on its main
trunk line connecting with other trunk
lines.
~ In the list of recommended improve
mcnts will be several calling for con-
tinuation of the canyon road improve
nIents which were begun last year. 1t
is proposed TO do considerable work on
the Big Cottonwood road leading TO
Brighton and on Parley's canyon road,
81 In his formal report of work done
last year on the county roads Mr.. Snow
says:
g The roads in Salt Lake county in
general are in fairly good condi
ton, but owing to increased travel
s1of motor cars and trucks, combined
with horse-drawn vehicles, the sur
faces soon become rough on the
heavily Travelled streets and need
resurfacing very often to keep
them smooth and in good condition,
During the year 1913 the road
from the mouth of Emi grafton can
yon to. Pine Crest was completed,
a~disShncc of between six and
seven, ffffr-
III Big Cottonwood canyon the
road was repaired permanently in
several places. and at the head Of
fthe CANYON, from Giles Flat, a new
r. road was opened winding along the
mountain side to avoid the steep
hall in the bottom OF the CANYON.

TO SPEND 100000
FOR ROADS IN 1914
Willard Snow, Supervisor,
Makes Recommendations
to Commissioners.
PLANS EXTENSIVE WORK
Resurfacing of Main Roads
and Macadamizing State
Street, Important Items.

Road improvements costing approx
mateIy 100000 will be made by salt
Lake county this year, despite the fact
that the million-dollar bond election mas
been called off, If the recommendations
of Willard Snow, county road super
visor, are concurred in.
Mr.. Snow announced yesterday that,
now that the bond election had been
indefinitely postponed, he would submit
to the commission in the near future
comprehensive road improvement plan
calling for more road building III 1911
than has ever been done in any previous
year.
Among the recommendations to be
made nv the supervisor wiil be the re-
surfacinp of State street from the city
= limits at Eleventh South street 10
Sandy. Macadam surface Will be rec
commended for this Improvement, state
street is the main artery OF county traV-
al and the road supervisor is of the
opinion that by spending 100000 on 1t
a highway fit to bear all the trafIlc fof
sseveral years at least can be made
Paving Planned.
- Another important improvement Will
lc the layinp of four inch silica sur
face on the Territorial road from Thir-
foenth South to Fourteenth South, dis,
tanre of about one mile. The city VIII
pave this same highway from Twelfth
TO Thirteenth South this year aud the
county supervisor believes another mile
of improved road extending from the
end of the paved district so as TO con-
meet with the good dirt road built to
the mouth Of Cottonwood canyon last
year will make the territorial road one
Of the best IN the county.
Durable surfacing of a number OF
main county trunk lines Will be recon-
mended by the supervisor. though his
plans will not include any provisions
for construction of concrete base roads.
Following the suggestions that have
been made by road experts who were
called In to advise the county commits
sioners in connection with the plan con-
templatcd, under the million-dollar bond
issue, the road supervisor will endeavor
to arraffge his plans for the year in such
.map6cr that each improvement will be
- complemenc TO another. Instead or
scattering the improvements in all parts
OF the county and achieving nothing
'sbut isolated and local road betterment,
rhe proposes to proceed systematically
toward the construction ,of network or
rood roads.

WALKED FROM THE CITY

Otto Applequist. sought as partici-
pant in the Morrison murders, was n
Eureka Wednesday, it is now believed.
A man said to be either Applequist or
his double arrived in Eureka at noon
Wednesday. and told of walking there
from Salt Lake.
AT the time, pictures Of Applequlst
had not vet been published, and ii was
only after their publication that those
who saw the man became suspicious.
He was first seen in John Smith S sa-
loon, which he entered at noon, asking
where be could find work, When he
told of having walked from Salt Lake,
the bartender gave him drink.
Afterward he was seen AT q mine,
where he applied for work. SO far as
is known, ho did not find employment
in Eureka, nor has he been seen there
since Wednesday evening. 1t Is be-
lieved that he left Wednesday night, A
close lookout is being kept FOR him, IN
case he is working in some mine and
keeping out of sight.
Also Seen in Tooele.
Acting Sheriff Atha r. Williams re.
ceived word yesterday that man an"
swcring the description OF Applequist
was seen in Tooclc Thursday, This
word was brought TO Salt Lake by Will
liam Mann of Tooelc. who told Mr.. Will
liams that the man secured Il meal at
boarding house in Tooele. Later,
word was received that a man answer
ing the description of the hunted man
was seen boarding a west-bound freight
train on the Salt Lake route near
Stockton. Thursday night. Telegrams
were sent to all points along the line
and close watch is being kept The
train on which the suspect left was
due TO arrive III Caliente tonight.

Pacific. However. through Its control of
the Central Pacific, the Southern Pacific
has only 40 per cent OF the haul from
San Francisco to the river. while by the
Sunset Route IL secures the entire haul.
For this reason, 1t Is charged. the
Southern Pacific Is discriminating against
the shorter and more direct route to the
east and Is routing the freight eastward
via the Sunset Route In order that IT may
retain all the revenue from the haul.
AS a part OF the charge that the
Southern Pacific was controlling the lines
of the Central Pacific In violation OF the
Sherman antitrust act, the attorneys for
the government filed with the court an
exhibit OF lease of the Central Pacific
to the Southern Pacific company. The
lease was given In 1885 for term OF
ninety nine years and signed by W. e,
Brown as president of the Southern Pa
cif1c and Leland Stanford as president OF
the Central Pacific. The lease will not
expire until 1884 However, practically
all Of the stock OF the Central. Pacific
has since been purchased by the South
ern Paclfic and the property of the Cen
trail Pacific mortgaged to the Southern
Pacific.

Petition Ayers That

ward Over Suns S e t
Route in Preference to
Shorter and More Di-
rect Road; All of De-
PENDANTS Either Bond
holders or Directors.

The United States government yes
terday filed suit in the federal court
for the district of Utah to compe
the Southern Pacific company tc
relinquish its control of the Contra
Pacific railroad, which it holds by
virtue Of a ninety y-nine-year lease OF
the property.
The suit was fled yesterday by
United States District Attorney vii
liam w. Ray acting under the instruc
tions of United States Attorney Gen
eral j. C. McBeynolds. Violations OF
the Sherman antitrust act and OF the
Pacific railways act Of 1862 are
charged in the petition for the dissolu
tion of the railroad interests. The allie
cations of the complaint are that the
ombination of the interests of the two
railroads is in restraint of trade.
The petition fled charges also that
the Southern Pacific company is dis
eliminating against the transcontinen'
tai line formed by the Union Pacific
and the Central Pacific railroads in ia
vor of the longer route Via the Sunset
lines, all controlled by the Southern
Pacific company.
In many ways the suit is one of the
most important in the history Of west
ern railroads. Should the govern
ment s contention prevail, the South
ern Pacific will lose control of the
Central Pacific from Ogden to San
Francisco, and it is considered more
than likely that the Union Pacific, at
the suggestion of the department OF
justice, will purchase the lines of the
Central Pacific,
At the very time that the suit was
being filed in Salt Lake delegations
from California and Oregon were try
ing to urge upon the department Of JUS
tjcc delay for thirty days in older
that further investigation might be
made. The business men Of Caifor-
mia and the other coast states strongly y
oppose any curtailment of the holdings
of the Southern Pacific company.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Feb. II.
Much progress was made III the first
day of the trial of the $4,000 damage
suit brought against Thomas Pryor
Gore, United States senator from Okla
homa, by Mrs. Minnie Z. Bond, wife
of Julian r. Bond of this city. Mrs.
Bond alleges Gore attempted to attack
her in hotel room in Washington
March %, 1913. Cores answer is a
general denial of the charges.
Drawn by the publicity given the
case and the prominence of the blind
defendant. hundreds of people packed
the courtroom, completely overflowing
the seating capacity, when Judge
George w. Clark called the case. Each
side was represented by an imposing
array Of counsel, and the sharp
skirmishes at the start presaged the
bitter legal battle which was to follow.
Wife Shows Faith.
Senator Gore and his wife were
early arrivals in the courtroom. Mrs.
Bond and her husband also arrived
early, but Mrs. Bond left after stay
ing but ten minutes. One Of her at
torneys explained she was on the verge
Of a. nervous. breakdown.
During the sensational opening state
ment Of the plaintiffs case, in which
the details of the alleged attack were
recited dramatically, Mrs. Gore smiled
and stroked the blind statesman 3 hair.
Mrs. Bond was in court in the after
noon and showed emotion as the events
were related.
The selection Of the jury was ac-
conplished early in the afternoon. 1t
is q jury of young men, ten Of the
twelve being under 80 years old. Nine
of the Jurors are farmers, one a broker
and two are statesmen. A special venire
of fifty six men was called for the
Gore case.

Noted ''Police Reporter Said
to Be Candidate for
Sheriff.

United States Marshal James II.
Anderson is to be candidate for
sheriff to succeed Sheriff Andrew
Smith, Jr, This is the information
that is being noised about in political
circles this week. Mr.. Anderson has
not yet announced his candidacy for
the nomination for sheriff, but the be
lief is prevalent that he will do so.
Mr.. Anderson, as "Fussy Jimmy, -
has become characted In Salt
Lake and Utah politics almost as
famous as ''Hinky Dink" and Bath
house Johu'' of Chicago politics. His
candidacy for sheriff Will probably
create commotlon.
1t will perhaps surprise some TO learn

form candidate. Formerly, as NOM
Der of the "federal bunch,' he was
known as one of the most active ex-
ponents of conscienceless machine pol
itics. Now he is reformer.
