UTES WILL FIGHT
RESERVATION LIFE
Plan to Join the Hostile PiuteS
Rather than Leave Their
Ancestral Homes.
by Telegraph 10 The Tribune

Bluff. Utah. March 1.-The Indian
situation here took q graver turn to-
dav. when a band of supposedly friend
" Utes. composed of 100 bucks, squaws
and children, made a strenuous pro-
test against being moved from this
section. their ancestral hunting ground,
to the southern Ute reservation. These
Indians have never been placed on a
reservation by the government and are
extremely antagonistic to the move.
They were being brought in here
from the neighborhood of Butler,
Wash. where Old Polk and his outlaw
Piutes are fortified, but did not know
that it was the intention of the Indian
authorities to place them on reserva-
ton. When they learned that such was
the intended plan their leaders as,
sumed an ugly attitude and declared
that rather than 20 on reservation
they would resist such an attempt and
ioin the hostile Piutes.
Indian Agents Creel and jenkins here
have been in communication with tn"
authorities at Washington regarding
the situation.

FOR APPOINTMENT
OF THE JUDGESHIP
Wickersham and Clearwater at
City Club-Leading Lawyers
Not on Bench.

There are a great many inefficient
judges in America and an occasional
inefficient one in New York State, but
have never seen a corrupt Judge in
America. Germany, France or Austria.
1t is idle to say that there is no ground
for dissatisfaction with the judiciary.
because there is.
Judge A. 7. Clearwater. Of Kingston.
n. Y, president OF the State Bar Asso-
citation and Republican delegate at
large TO the constitutional convention.
said ne believed Judges should be ap-
pointed and not elected. in a speech
last night a. the City Club. 1t was
the second o. a series of dinners to
discuss the problems before the com
ing constitutional convention.
There is no place in America where
the evils of 6lecting judges are better
known than on Manhattan Island" he
said. Judge Clearwater added that he
did not believe the change would be
Endorsed by the people OF the state.
He pointed out that in England the
judges were the leaders of the bar.
Such is not the case in New York
State" he said. The leaders of the
bar are seldom elevated to the bench
He ridiculed the plan to reduce the
terms of judges TO six years, and
thought an age limit Of seventy years
might be appropriate.
George ". Wickersham, speaking on
"The Jury System" said that the pri-
mary reason of its adoption was to get
at the truth.
He attacked the present system Of
exemptions from jury duty to boiler
inspectors. surGeon-dentists and ma
tional guardsmen. He added:
IL don't know why these men should
be exempt from doing jury duty. II
should be the privilege of every man
TO serve, and why, because man has
served five years as a national guards
man or is a successful dentist he
should be excused. | do not know"
In minor criminal cases and many
civil ones Mr. Wickersham was in
clined to favor the majority verdict,
and suggested ten out of twelve would
in many cases approximate verities.
He agreed with Judge Clearwater on
the appointment of judges.
Mr.. Wiokersham believed that the
right of appeal should be maintained,
but objected to a multiplicity Of ap-
peal as promoting disbelief in the
finality of justice.

those facts are of such nature that
I believe there will be little choice as
TO what the Governor should do after

not the duty Of his commission TO
make charges, but that the Governor
should act on the faces which 1T pre-
SCENTS. He said if charges were pre-
ferred the commissioners should be al
lowed ten days in which TO answer.

WILL NOT SIGN TAX
BILL AS IT STANDS
Governor Anxious TO Know How
Joker Crept In-Tribune
Quoted in Senate.

Albany. March |. Senator Robert +.
Wagner, minority leader Of the Senate.
read extracts from The Tribune's ar
ticlc on the emasculation of the Gov
errors tax reform bill on the floor of
the Senate tonight.
'If The Trlbune's correspondent -
correct" said Senator Wagner. two
apparently innocent amendments have
been made TO this bill from the floor Of
this Senate without any OF the Sena-
tors knowing it. One Of these amend
ments means. as The Tribune pointed
out. the loss 20 the people OF the state
of taxes on the property between the
tracks of railroads and traction com
panies. property estimated at 100000
GOO. This. of course, means big saw
ing of money to the railroads Of the
state.
The other amendment destroys the
one real reform in the bill the power
the bill gave 10 the State Tax Depart
ment to 90 over the heads Of the cOun-
~ supervisors and equalize assess
ments. This is reform that the hon
est real estate interests and tax re
formers throughout the state have
been lighting for.
THE bill with these two amendments
merely is a bill for the providing Of
Jobs for faithful Republicans. Now
that the facts are known. ! wonder
what the editorial writers OF our news
papers will have 10 say on what has
happened to the Governors tax re-
form bill"
A. was pointed out in the article
from which Senator Wagner read. the
Governor is anxious to know how the
Joker in favor of the railroads came
10 be inserted in the bill.
When The Tribune correspondent
asked Senator James A. Emerson, 10
whom the Governor intrusted the bill
and whom he holds responsible for
the Joker. how il cane to be put in the
bill. he replied: Pm willing TO assume
responsibility for IT"
Friends Of the Governor have de-
scribed the joker as most vicious. The
Governor Will not sign the bill as it
now stands.
