 Bishop Lawler tonight said he be- lieved the murder was the work of a mentally unbalanced" person.
 Tt is difficult to ascribe a motive for so dastardly and cowardly a crime" he said, because Father Belknap was a favorite with all classes of people, whether in the church or out of it. As the rela- tions existing between Catholics and non- Catholics are most pleasant and amiable, the foul deed can not be att tributed to religious prejudice. The act must have been perpetrated by a person mentally unbalanced. It is expected the ploodhounds, on their way by automobile from Mitchell, will reach here about ? o'clock in the morning.

brought to the attention of the board, the road had been asked to maintain previous wages.
 Unfortunately" MT. Stone retort- ed, we want those wages for our men now not for their grandchil- dren. Those men are now compelled to work for these reduced wages. Where we haven't the strength to re- sist we merely have to stand for it.
 MT. Hooper pointed out failure of the unions and roads to appoint arbi- tration boards provided for by the transportation act had thrown a heavy burden on the board and de- layed decisions in pending cases.
 Yes" answered Stone, but we are in no wise responsible for the trans portation act. We did not want it and we did everything in our power to defeat it. The railroads did want it and they put the burden on your shoulders"
 W. G. Bierd, president of the Chi cago & Alton, one of. the owners of the Peoria Railway Terminal com pany, which, he said had always been based on electric line service, prior to federal control, said under the rail- road administration, however. stan dard rates of pay were put into eff feet.
 The property has never earned ex- penses, he said. but under federal control the government paid the deficit. On return of the road to private control it was necessary to re- dTulce rates of pay, he said, even now freight rates failing to give relief.
 Mir. Bierd said he called the ter mdnal employees together to consider the proposed new rates of pay. The company agreed to reduce pay only to the point where the road could earn only operating costs. If this was not possible it would be necessary to cease operation.
 The employees therefore agreed, he saidl to accept 75 to S2 per cent of their standard rate of pay.
 So far as I know, not one man has objected" he said.
 Chairman Barton announced the bearing would close tonight and that the uinon men and railroad executives can go home. The five union presi- dents immediately called meetings of their general chairmen and executive committees at the Masonic temple here stt g a. m. tomorrow.
 "The board will take everything into careful consideration Chairman Barton announced in adjourning the hearing, ''and will, within a short time, possibly tomorrow, certainly not later than the next day, deliver it's decision in this matter in the usual way"

 Hooper then asked Worthington if he would be willing to revoke his orier pending the boards decision and WorthinE on said he would.

 First Extended Trip
 The presidents address, which brought him from Washington on ms first extended trip into the south. since inauguration was delivered at a senni-centennial celebration of the founding of the city of Birmingham. He praised the south for it's industrial recovery and took occasion to renew his faith in the world leadership of a reunited nation. He said in part;
 "The world war brought us to full recognition that the race problem IS national rather than merely section- al. There are no authentic statis- tics, but it is common knowledge that the world war was marked by a great migration of colored people to the north and west. It has brought the question of race closer to north and west, and, I believe, it has served to modify somewhat the views of those sections on this question.
 Tt has made the south realize its industrial dependence on the labor of the black man and made the north realize the difficulties of the com munity in which two greatly differ ing races are brought to live side by side. I should say that it has been responsible for a larger charity on both sides, a beginning of better un- derstanding; and in the light of that better understanding, perhaps, we shall be able to consider this problem together as a problem of all sections and of both races, in whose solution the best intelligence of both must be enlisted.
 Indeed, we will be wise to recog- nize it as wider yet. Whoever will take the time to read and ponder MT Lothrop Stoddard's book on the Ris- ing Tide of Color, or, say, the thought

Salt Lake-Evidence that business
generally is picking up and that an eff
fort is being made by commercial and
industrial leaders to cope with de-
mands was furnished Monday in sever
al lines when it was stated that renew
ed activity was apparent.
The chief feature in the situation al
fecting Salt Lake was the announce
ment by D. G. Cunningham, assistant
superintendent of motive power of the
Denver 4 Rio Grande railroad, thar
fifty men had been taken back to work
Monday at the local shops. Mr.. Gun
nlngham said that this augmentation
meant that the shop force had been
brought to about 90 per cent of normal
Ii was thought that with conditions
continuing to better the complete norm
al force would be employed at an early
date.
The unemployment of these fifty men
is said TO have reflection in another
industry, that of coal mining. 1.-THE
coal business" said Mr.. Cunningham,
lis getting better and as consequence
Increased transportation facilities are
necessary" 1t is believed that the
Carbon county mines will shortly in
crease the output, thus providing more
miners with work and. incidentIy, in
creasing the states payroll.
In addition to these features. WORD
has been received that in the lasr
week more than fifty additional men
have been put to work at various mines
in the Bingham district.
AS result of these encouraging
signs, business leaders were optimistic
Monday and predicted that within a
comparatively short time Utah wouIo
