American Fork gave the members of ibe legislature, the governor, lit , staff and others from Salt Lake a roy- - . nl welcome on tbe night of the 13th, when the lawmakers paid that town a visit. The bill of Senator Lawrence chang--inthe fees for Juror and witnesses, failed to pass the house, twenty-fivmembers believing that the measure would not accomplish the good that was expected from it. Out of the whole bunch of eigluy-twbills Introduced in the house on the 12th, the only really notable measures were a dozen offered by Mr. Clegg, the purport of all of which yum the abolition of the office of district attorney. Senator Hulanlxki'a bills, Nos. 14 and 15, requiring care but not fixing any speed limit for automobiles, and making it a misdemeanor to interfere with any county road or public highway, have received the approval of the house. The joint memorial introduced ia d the house on the 12th, was tbe one asking congress to an nex what is known ns the Arizona strip to Utah, which probably haa 4 passed every legislature since statehood was created. The house hus passed Croft's bill, which urohlbits, under severe penalties, the selling of cigarettes in any form or of cigarette paper after January 1, 1908. An effort to amend tbe bill by striking out cig' arette paper was futile.

I am a soldier I was trained a soldier yet because I was born after my brother Louis, I must perforce become both priest and holy cardinal. Rather a thousand times would I be a s and carry a pike! Then am I to understand that as a soldier you told the Buchess Joan that you loved her, or that as a priest you forbade the banns. Or did you wholly forget the circumstance that once on a time you yourself married her to your brother? "I did Indeed forget, said Conrad, with sincere penitence, "yet you must not blame mo too sorely. I was carried out of myself" "The duchess, then, rejected your suit with contumely?

Thla fortune did not include hia wife's property, but nevertheless It mad? him one of the wealthiest Americans of his time. Her part ot the Custla property equaled "15.500 acres of land, a good part of U adjoining the city of e rest" A resolution passed the house that a committee of four, two from the house and two from the senate, be appointed by the speaker for the house and the president of the senate, respectively to formulate a programme of exercises commemorative - of Washington's bltrhday and that the public be invited. The Galveston plan for governing a city Is to be applied to Salt Lake it the bills providing therefor, as passed by tbe senate, are passed by the house. Sentiment in the senate was unanimous in favor of the measure, which was fathered by Iicuner X. Smith, and the vote for it was unanimous. House bill 61, by Kurhler, requiring street car companies to provide seat for motormen, to have air brakes on all new cars put into the service, and to require a motormau and a conductor on each car or train, was ' passed by the house after being amended in several respects aa to verbiage. If a bill introduced in the senate by Senator Wesley K. Walton, of Rich county, becomes a law, it will be no defense for a merchant or commission man accused of selling decayed or tainted food to allege that be did not know that it was unwholesome. The hill provides a penalty for the first offense of a fine of $200. Senator Hulanlxki'a bill permitting a name to appear but once on an election ballot, wag read a third time and failed to pass by a vote of, ayea, 19; nays, 22; absent and not voting, This bill provided 8; excused, 1. against fusion of the several church parties. - Tbe house concurred In the senate amendments to house bill 18, by Robin-son- , increasing the powers of the state board of equalization. The aenate amendments added pipe line operated In more than one county to tbe list ot properties to be assessed by tbs board. John Rollo, reporter of the proceedings of the supreme court, asked the senate salary committee to raise his pay from 8800 to 11,000 a year. The committee reported favorably. Oa the 15th, on motion of Senator Hollingsworth, the salary of thla official was cut to COO. Senate bill No. 12, by Hutanlskf. providing that salaries of county officers shall be full compensation for ait services rendered, and providing for the compensation of deputy officers, was read the third time and. upon motion ot Mr. Clegg, the enacting clause waa stricken out. The senate, unlike the house, has no rule limiting the Introduction, of bills. On the 12th, 104 had been introduced, which la about 50 lex than at a corresponding time at the tast A rouxervatlve extimat session. places the total number which will be introduced at 150. The aenate has passed the bill Introduced by the Joint committee on public land which appropriates 13,000 for the employment of special counsel and expert witnesses to fight the school coal land cases In the federal courts. This is the asm measure which th house killed. |
