The fight between u local rail-
road and the Post Office Department
over the remuneration that should
be allowed the former for carrying
the mails between Palisade and Eu-
reka has been going on at intervals
for the past Is years, and we believe
the Post Office Department has con.
tended that it has always paid, or of.
fered to pay, the local road the high
est rate that can be paid any railroad
in the United States for a like SER
vice under the postal laws enacted
by Congress. But this has not beer
satisfactory to the local road at any
time, and at times has caused much
bitterness between officials of the
railroad and the Post Office Depart
ment.
If the contention of the postal Of
ficials that they cannot under exist
ing statutes pay o to the loca
road than has been offered is correct
the postal officials do not merit tht
charges made against them by Mr.
Sexton; and in view of the fact thai
the several heads of the Postal De
partment in the changing admins
trations of the past Is years have al
held alike regarding the allowance
offered the local road, it would seen
that the present postal officials are
but carrying out the laws laid dowr
by Congress. and it is to u repre-
sentatives in this arm of the Govern
ment that our local railroad SHOULD
look to for a change in the posta
laws that will permit of the straight
ening out Of this most TROUBLESOME
matter.

MR.. sExTONS LETTER
TO PRESIDENT WILSON

Printed copies of an open letter to
President Wilson from j. E Sexton,
general manager of the Eureka-Ne-
vada Railway, have recently been re-
ceived by several parties in Eureka.
The letter is dated September 20,
1914, and is a bitter and caustic com.
m~unication of about 1900 words.
The opening question of Mr.. Sex
toms letter reads: rs the Post.
master General of the United States
honest"
The letter complains of post office
discrimination against the people Of
Eureka. Sexton says a mule-drawr
vehicle carries the mail between Eu'
reka and Palisade, "a miles, tri-week-
ly, consuming 33 hours for ar annual
payment of $500, whereas the rail-
road can make the run in eight hours,
but the post Office department will
not pay more than $1795. The rail.
road is willing to perform the ser
vice tri-weekly for $500, with ar
eight-hour service compared to a 33
hour service, and in addition, per
form service costing the Government
1915 additional. Sexton says he ha.
offered to save the Government $150(
agar and perform three times as eff
fcient service, but he cannot get the
contract.

Bishop Spaldlng VISITED EureKa
last May while making a tour of Ne
vada as acting Bishop of the Episco-
pal Church and held religious SER
vices in St. James Episcopal Church.
He administered baptism to IL young
people and confirmed class of about
the same number while here, re-
naming from Friday until Monday,
when he continued on to Ely. The
news of his death was received here
with sincere regret, for he made
many friends by his kindness of
heart and courteous manners-to old
and young alike. All who knew him
personally acclaim him imbued with
the true Christian spirit and a man
of exemplary character.
Tribute Paid Bishop Spalding
In the following editorial the Salt
Lake Tribune pays tribute to the
worth. of the late Bishop:
When the ministers of all religions
join in paying homage to a man OF
God the community which shall know
him no more awakes with a shock to
the loss it has sustained. There was
something so unobtrusive about Bish'
op Spalding that only those closely
associated with him understood the
greatness of his soul. All speak with
particular emphasis of his broad char,
ity and of a noble frmness which was
mingled with a loving kindness that
won the affection Of all with whom
he came in contact.
Bishop Spalding believed that the
principles of Christianity should be
applied to the solution of all social
and economic problems and should
not be confined merely to questions
of conduct. In consequence he be-
came a conspicuous leader of Chris
tain thought in connection with so,
cial and economic problems. To z
great extent he identified the causes
of Christianity and democracy and
was an outspoken and fearless OPP
ponent of special privileges before
the thrones of the mighty. Those
who disagreed with him in his de-
mand for radical measures in the
social and economic realm recognized
the stainless purity of his motives
and his intense love for his fellow
men. Throughout his career he
worked with the ardor of a great
soul to do all within his power te
make life easier for those who beal
the heavy burdens of the world. he
looked far into the future and guided
his own life so that he might be the
servant not only of his own genera
ton but of those yet to come.
Now that he has suddenly beer
taken from among his fellow citizens
they appreciate profoundly the no.
bility of his life and the value of his
services.

BISHOP +. S. spAlOIMs KILLED
Run Down By Young Woman Autoist
at Salt Lake and Fatally Injured

The Ri. Rev. Franklin S. Spalding.
Bishop of the Episcopal church of
the dioceses of Utah and Nevada, was
run down by an automobile at Fifth
East and South Temple, Salt Lake
City, driven by Miss King. daughter
of Judge William H. King, shortly
before 10 O'Clock on the night of
September 25. He received injuries
which caused his death within an
hour at the emergency hospital at
police headquarters.
Bishop Spalding left his home a
few minutes before the accident and
was crossing South Temple on his
way to the Fifth East pharmacy,
when the automobile running west
on South Temple at high speed con-
fronted him. He saw the machine
bearing down upon him and attempt
ed, it is believed, to run ahead of it.
simultaneously Miss King, at the
wheel of the machine, attempted to
turn the automobile, but during the
attending excitement it seems that
she steered in the direction which
Bishop Spalding had taken to run to
safety.
The machine struck him and he
fell to the pavement, only to be run
over by the machine. He was picked
up unconscious and taken to police
headquarters in the police ambul'
ance. Surgeons discovered that his
neck was broken and said that he
had but a few minutes to live.
Deceased was born in Erie, Penn.
on March Is, 1865.

LOCAL MEN IN BAD AUTO ACCIDENT IN PORTLAND Their Hired Car Catches Fire and Plunges Down En-
 bankment.

Because someone in the rear seat
 saw flames licking up from beneath and shouted "hre," a Buick touring car belonging to Claude J. Leroux, ] the local plumber, was wrecked Mon-
 day evening when, as it was being
 driven down Sand Hill in Portland I at high speed by H. Lesser, the Arch street electrical contractor, he applied the foot end emergency brakes so sud denly that 1t swerved from the road way, plunged down an embankment and through the rails of wooden fence.
 Lesser and three companions, Nor ris and Albert Abraham of Rockwell avenue and Jake Jeffries, were re- turning from Colchester at the timc of the accident and were on their way home to this city. They had experienced bad roads on the way and had worn the lower gear band so thin that it refused to bind, so to rem edy the difficulty, Lesser placed a rag between the band and the gear drum. Things went smoothly until the party reached the grade leading to the summit of Sand Hill. when the friction became so great as to set the rag on fire. While speeding down the steep grade which follows, the flames, famed by the breeze. spread rapidly and when seen by one of the men in the rear. he became so frightened that he lost all presence of mind and shouted with the result that Lesser attempted to bring his car to too abrupt a stop, the back wheels swerving sharply.
 Jake" Jeffries leaped clear of the machine and Albert Abraham fol- lowed suit, but Lesser was thrown down the bank in such a manner as to sprain his right ankle. wrench his right hip and badly lacerate his right arm. In attempting to leap from the car, Morris Abraham struck his left hip and injured it quite se- verely.
 Despite his injuries, Lesser ran up the hill and telephoned for the Mid dletown fire department as the car which he had been driving was be- ing consumed by the flames. Chief Pitt responded in a car from Caul- kin's garage in Middletown. but ar- rived on the scene too late to do any thing for the occupants of the car had extinguished the blaze.
 Lesser was attended by pr. Louis si,nonson of Middletown and was obliged to spend the night in the Middletown hotel. returning to this city yesterday. The other members of the party came to this city by train, where Morris Abraham's injuries were dressed by pr. Volkenheim.
 One of the wheels of Leroux's car, which had been rented on Sunday was ditched and it was otherwise slightly damaged.
 Lesser has already received one bill. amounting to four dollars, from Chief Pitt of the Middletown fire depart ment. which, he claims. was charged him for the use of the automobile fin which he travelled to the scene of the | accident

LAWYER ASSERTS CLIENT IS VICTIM OF fRAME-uP
But Judge Meskill Fine A. Spaccaluti $50 on Bob
 Veal Charge.

Regardless of the claim that he was a mean plot matched up by some jeal ous competitors who wished to run him out of business, A. Spaccaluti, who for the past three weeks has been conducting meat. business at No. 230 North street, was fined $50 and costs by Judge James T. Meskill this morning for having bob veal in his possession. Bonds Of $150 were fixed in case of an appeal.
 Meat and Food Inspector Dr. George Crowley told of visiting spac- calutis store at late hour Friday night after having received informa- tion which led him to believe that he had bob veal in his possession. The store was closed when he arrived, so he visited 1t bright and early the next morning. He found two livers in dirty back room, he said, and added that in the ice box were two under sized dressed calves. each cut across the carcass. One weighed forty and one-half pounds and the other tipped the scales at fortytwo and one-half pounds. Dr. Crowley said that Spac- caluti had told him that he "got the two calves the night before"
 Concerning this statement Attor- ney P. F. McDonough, who appeared for the accused, had heated argu-
  Donough contended that in his pre- vious testimony Dr. Crowley had said that the accused had told him the two veals were brought" in the night before. Th.. the doctor would not admit and heated wrangle followed Spaccaluti declared that he had told the officer that the two veals were brought" in and Dr. Crowley de- clared that this statement was "ab- solutely false,'' explaining that the accused had said he had "got" them the night before.
 Tn his own defense Spaccaluti said that shortly before 10 o'clock Friday night man, whom he found out later was Benny Stein of Hartford avenue. came into his store with two small calves which he wanted to sell. He said he told the man they looked un- dersized, but was assured that they were all right. When he said he didn't want them stein told him again that they were all right and If he would leave them in his ice box over night he would come around the fol- lowing morning and weigh them Agreeing to this Spaccaluti permitted Stein to cut them in halves so that they would fit into the ice box The next morning pr. Crowley appeared instead of MT. Stein and the latter has not been seen since, stated the accused.
 In pleading for his client Attorney McDonough made much of the fact that Dr. Crowley visited the store only a short time after Stein had left the undersized calves and had been on hand bright and early sathe next morning, and he then shouted that in his opinion MT. Spaccaluti was the victim of q clever frame up. His con- tention was that Stein, or some one closely connected with him, objected to having Spaccaluti open up new meat business and so 'jollied" him Into permitting them to leave the bobs in his ice box over night noti- fled the authorities so that he would be arrested. convicted and put out of business.
 Spaccaluti paid up after court adj journed.
