Governor VETOES
PROHIBITION BILL
MEASURE ADOPTED BY UTAH
LEGISLATURE NOT APPROVED
BY GOVERNOR sPRY.
Executive Declares Members Of Leg
isIature Were Pledged to Submit
Question Of Statewide ProhihI-
tlon to the Voters.

Salt Lake Cfty.-Governor William
Spry has vetoed the statewide pro-
hibition bill, which would have placed
Utah in the dry" column on July /,
1916.
Governor Spry on Thursday. March
IS, filed senate bill No. 80, known
as the WoottOn bill, with the secretary
Of state with letter of disapproval,
which, under the constitution of Utah,
amounts to a veto.
The governor stated that no mem
Der was pledged to enact prohibition
law, but that such pledges as we're
given were to the effect that the
question should be submitted to a
vote of the people of the state. The
message also sets forth that there
Is on the statutes of the state at the
present time local option law which
makes it possible for communities to
be dry If the residents desire

journed passed bill, which was sign.
ed by the governor, which prohibits
the shipment of intoxicating liquors
into dry territory, thereby strengthen.
ing the prohibition in those sections
which have acted favorably under the
local option law.
In commenting on the bill, the gov.
ernor said that the bill was ''hedged
about by support that turned a deaf
ear to those who would have amend
ed 1t to meet various objections, among
whom was the governor, who urged
that provision be made for compensa.
ton to those whose property would
be rendered valueless.'
He declares that he urged the leg
lslators to incorporate such clause
and, failing therein, had requested
that the time at which the bill would
have beeome effective be extended.
The legislators also turned deaf ear
to this request.
He also said that he believes the
people of the state have right to
express themselves on the question,
mot through representation that has
promised one thing and provides an
other'
His concluding objection is that the
bill abolishes the saloon and makes
the druggist the dispenser of alcohol
and wine on the physicians perscrip-
ton, with the generous allowance Of
maximum of one quart of liquor un.
der each prescription.

SCOTT CAPTURES
RENEGADE INDIANS
INDIAN WAR IN SOUTHERN UTAH
BROUGHT TO CLOSE WITHOUT
FURTHER 5LooDsHED.
Twent-seVen Indians Accompany Gen.
eral Scott to Bluff and VIII be
Brought to Salt Lake for
Trial for Mlsdeeds.

Salt Lake City.-The Piute upris-
ing in Utah was ended Saturday
when Brigadier General Hugh l.. Scott
returned to BLUM, Utah, with Chief
Old Polk, his son, (Hatch) "Tse-Na-
Cat" Chief Posey, Posey's Oldest boy,
and twenty-three other Indians, whom
he captured on Douglas mesa. The
captives, at their own request. are to
be brought to Salt Lake City.
The capture of the ringleaders by
the United States army officer and his
small party of personal escorts accom-
plished the peaceful settlement OF the
rebellion by the Indians, which had
resulted in the deaths of six men and
the wounding of many others in the
early fighting between a posse and the
redskins.
General Scott, chief of staff of the
regular army, overcame many obsta-
Giles in adding this latest feat to his
long list of pacii1cations of rebellious
Indians. His mission to Utah, ordered
by Secretary War Garrison, was con
sidered the last step before the calling
out of federal troops to combat the
redskins.
General Scott, accompanied by his
aide, Lieutenant Colonial Robert e. l.
Niche, and Private Paul Randolph,
an orderly, got in touch with the hos
tiles last Wednesday through friend
ly Navajo Indian messengers sent
out by General Scott to locate them.
The Navajo messengers told Chiefs
Old Polk and Posey that the big war
chief, representing the Great White
Father" president Wilson, had come
to smoke pipe Of peace with them
and talk over their grievances.
AS precautionary measure the
Piute Indians carefully secuted the
ground several miles in advance Of
their chiefs, as the latter went to-
ward the meeting place. Finally, sat
isfying themselves that General Scott
was accompanied only by small
party, the chiefs went forward to
meet him. At the end of the pow
WOW they consented to accompany
him to Bluff, believing that General
Scott will see that they will get JUS
tice.

THREE SHIPS sunk
IN DARDANELLES
THREE OF THE ALLIES VESSELS
SENT TO BOTTOM BY
FLOATING MINES.
Turks and Germans Had Set AdrIft
Floating Containers of Explosives
and These Came In Contact With
the Doomed Ships.

London-The British battleships
Irresistible and Ocean, and the
French battleship Bouvet were blown
up by floating mines while engaged
with the remainder Of the allied feet
in attacking the forts in the narrows
of the Dardanelles Thursday.
The crews of the two British ships
were virtually all saved, having been
transferred to other ships under b hot
fire; but an internal explosion took
place on board the Bouvet after she
had fouled the mine and most OF her
crew was lost. The Bouvet sank
within three minutes of the time that
she hit the mine.
The waters in which the ships were
lost had been swept OF mines, but the
British admiralty asserts that the
Turks and the Germans set floating
containers of explosives adrift, and
these were carried down by the cur
rent into the allied ships gathered in
side the entrance of the straits. All
the ships that were sunk we're old
ones, the Bouvet having been com
pleted nearly twenty years ago, and
the Ocean and Irresistible in 1898.
They were very useful, however, for
the work in which they were engaged
in the Dardanelles.
The sunken British ships are being
replaced by the battleships Queen and
Implacable, vessels of a similar type.
They are said to have started some
time ago for near eastern waters in
anticipation of Just such losses as
have now occurred

RUSSIA SECURES
KEY TO AUSTRIA
PRZEMYsL sURRENpERs AFTER
DEFENSE SINCE EARLY
DAYS OF WAR.
Expected That Moral Effect Upon
Russia Will BE Great, Awaken.
Hopes Of Turning Point
IN Campaign.

Petrograd.-Russia has secured the
key to Austria" The Przemysl gar.
rison, which capitulated to the Russian
army on Monday, surrendered without
a fight. The hoisting Of the white flag
over this fortress, which was said to
be on the point of surrender on a num-
Der of occasions, caused little sur
prise, as it was generally known that
1t was in terribly weakened condi.
ton, without food or ammunition, and
its endurance was only question of
days.
War office advices report that nine
Austrian generals were taken, more
than 800 officers and $4,000 men.
The Russian general, commanding
the investing army has been decorat-
ed with st. Georges cross.
A heavy snowstorm failed to check
the enthusiastic demonstrations in
which the civil and military popula-
tons united when the fall of Przemysl
was announced. The crowds, fioun-
dering in deep drifts, which tied up
street traffic, scheered the officers and
soldiers, who remained to participate
In the celebration.
From the Kazan cathedral, thu
strains Of the national anthem swelled
in volume as the crowd gathered, and
from other points throughout the city,
mysteriously hidden behind the dense
curtain of falling snow, music burst
forth and added to the general spirit
of enthusiasm.
The moral effect Of the victory on
Russia, 1t is expected, will be very
great, awakening hopes that this will
be the turning point in Galician and
Carpathian campaign.
