Responsibility for tha escape of Harry Brewer, murderer and life prisoner, from the Utah state prison Wednesday, June 8, waa yesterday placed upon two of the prison guards by the board of corrections. The board waa In session behind closed doors all day, and their decision was mot reached until late In the evening. "After cartful Investigation by the board of correctlona. It has been decided that the Brewer escape was due to a lack of diligence on the part of the two guards on duty at the time, the verdict of the board reads. "But It Is the conclusion of the board." the decision continues, "that they were lh no way In collusion with the prisoner. They are hereby exonerated by the board from any such imputation, but. in view of the farts above found, they are relieved from duty." Warden James Devine last refused to divulge the names ofnight ths two guards removed, saying that he believed they had been sufficiently punished by removal,- and that publication of their name would only tend to hurt their standing In the community. Brewer was convicted of the murder of Eugene Allen, a clerk, when Allen undertook to forestall the robbery of the Highland Boy store of the Miners' Mercantile company at Bingham on the night of April 15. 1915. He waa sentenced to be executed, but 'the sentence waa commuted at the eleventh hour. Frank De Fretto, accomplice of Brewer, who also was sentenced to death and whose sentence was commuted to life Imprisonment, the prison January XI of escaped from i this year. . Brewer is reputed to have always perIn sisted declarations that he would escape, and he went over the prison wail on June t In broad daylight, outwitting the guards Escape was made by an Improvised rope made from mason's twine, to which sn iron hook had been attached. The hook waa thrown over the wall, catching on a braes on the guard's runway. Once this caught. Brewer, It la figured, climbed to the top of the wall, then used the rope In descending on the outside. How he climbed the Interior wall and descended the outer wall without being observed by the guards has been a mystery from the time the escape was first discovered. On the afternoon of Brewer's escape, Dan B. Shields, former attorney general, and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hout met the convict, who was placing distance between himself and the prison. "Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hout and I were coming In from Coalville that day, said Mr. Shields, "and we passed Brewer on the road this side of Wanshlp. The funny part of It Is that both Hout and I recognised an acquaintance In him but could not connect him for a time. We had not heard then of his escape, and I had not thought of Brewer for some time. As we passed him we waved our hands and spoke to him, and he waved back like an old friend. I Imagine, though, that he had a shaky feeling about that time. We came on to Sait Lake and I picked escape. up a paper telling of the convict's The second I saw the name 1 remembered that It was Brewer we had seen. - , ' Auto Society Members Are Invited to American Fork Bootblacks Are Going Back to on Defects of System.

Utah "It Is a well known fact that the general property tax Is more or less antiquated and unfair and that large holdings are absolutely undlscoverable, Mr. Bailey said yesterday In discussing Ids views with regard to adjustments. "The only method of getting certain classes of property is through some svstem of classification whereby each would pay a tax In keeping with its usefulness to the general public. All property should be assessed according, to discoverability. "The rate on money and lntanglolea has been so high that they cannot be found for taxation. It Is a great deal better for the country and for everyone when there Is a lot of money in circulation. and I believe that the money rate Is entirely too high. "Another recommendation which I shall make Is that people be taxed In proportion to their ability to pay. "If the normal tax on a live business Is 15 mills, I believe that the tax on a as much. d home should be onlv The law under which the taxation revision committee was appointed by Governor Mahey provides that on or before January 1, 1923, It shall make a full report to the governor of Its proceedings with such recommendations as may be adopted.

Wells, first governor elected by the people of Utah after statehood, and who served a second gubernatorial term, is being put , forward for the position of assistant Secretary of the treasury, it became known in Salt Lake yesterday. Ever since it was learned that a Utahn was to succeed a Utahn, in the position of assistant secretary of the treasury the name of former Governor Well haa been prominently mentioned. Several weeks ago, when President Harding announced his cabinet appointments, and named Andrew Mellon of Pittsburg to be treasury secretary, James H. Moyle, assistant secretary under the Democratic administration, gave notice that he would like to be relieved as soon as' possible. Senator Smoot was told that tho appointment was in his hands, and be asked Ernest Bamberger, member of the" Republican national committee from Utah, to accept the assistant secretaryship! Mr. Bamberger, (however, said that he did not feel like leaving Salt Lake, but promised not to decide Until he had a conference with Senator Smoot and Secretary Mellon. Although nothing definite has come from Washington to the effect that Mr. Bamberger had declined the appointment, his friends in Salt Lake said yesterday that they felt he would not accept. It was known that former Governor Wells had been seriously considered for the vacancy, and the tender to Mr. Bambenger was said to have come to him as T compliment of his associates on the national committee because of his knowledge of national financial matters. Governor Wells has been in Washington since the inauguration of President Harding, having had charge of some important civil service work, As Utahs first governor, Mr. Wells handled the executive duties with wonderful tact. His wav was beset with many difficulties that required nnusual delicacy, and at the same time a strong hand and dominating personality. He was well endowed to handle the perplexing situations that confronted the newly admitted state. He was born in Salt Lake, August 11, 1859, his father having been one of the early mayors of this city. He is recognized as one of the most gifted speakers in the state and has always been admired as an speaker. Definite announcement . of his appointment is expected within the next few days, it was said in local political circles vesterdav. When he went to Washington in March it was reported that he was slated for an important position, and there was some disappointment when his appointment was not announced several weeks ago. Delay, it is thought, sas due to efforts on the Mellon to thoroughly part of Secretary investigate all candidates who had been recommended to him as possible assi- R.- Educa- Resolution Passes tion tion.

The board further decided that If the present federal government program rla carried out, and federal aid to these units Is withdrawn, the city school system Is nof willing at this time to assume the expense of this training independent of such support as ths federal government ha heretofore provided."

The resolution recites ths feeling of the board that It will be impossible to continue the work without the material aid nhich ths government has heretofore supplied in uniforms, equipment and military instructors.
