L. Hycr, T. G. Lowe, H. Brady ot nl
and for about two hours there was an
Interesting debato between tho com
missioners, Mr. Golightly, Attorneys
Crockett and Sneddon, with an occa
sional volco from some citizen, some
of tho conversation being In an under
tone, but most of it so that It could
be heard by all presont.
It developed that tho petitioners had.
practically a3kcd for a blanket fran
chise, or In other words a broad con
necting strip so that option could bo
exercised In tho designation of tho
road. This caused a great many
peoplo to smllo as It has been Just
a fow weeks slnco Mr. Golightly
stood on tho floor of tho commission
ers room and talked against a blan
ket franchise, a-d even circulated a
petition asking that no, franchlso of
any kind bo granted to certain cltl-.
zens of Cacho County. This was not
held against tho petitioners, howev
er, as a great many good substantial
citizens were parties to tho potltlon,
and tho commissioners gave them
tho consideration they were entitled
to.
In the first place tho commission
ers mndo It plain that they would
not consider tho granting of a
blanket franchise, nnd tho conversa
tion then turned along the lino of
what they would grant. The com
missioners presented a franchise that
they would grant, which was not
satisfactory to tho petitioners. Petl-
tloners then asked that tbo franchise
proffered tho Logan Rapid Transit
company a short- time ago bo grant
ed. The franchise was produced and
action was taken to the effect that
It would bo granted upon tho desig
nation of tho route, and furnishing
a bond In the sum of $5,000 for
faithful performance. It was tated
t hat tho route could not bo deffnnd
until a ourvoy was made. "Make tho
survey then," replied tho commis
sioners. Tho question arose as to
whether or not tho survey in tho old
Leo Nielsen franchise would do, but
It was remarked that thore were too
many errors In it. It was. then decid

J. J.MORRIS
POTTO DEATH
Salt Lako City, April 30. J. J. Mor
ris went to a murderer's death on tho
gallows at tho Btato prison at 0:12
o'clock this morning In expiation ot
the wanton killing of J. Walter Ax
tell on Mny 9, 1911. Nine minutes
later ho was. pronounced dend by tho
attending physicians.
Tho crime' for which ho paid the
death penalty followed tho robber by
Morris and John Murray of tho Un
cle Sam loan i office on East First
South strcot. In his flight nftet' tho
robbery, Morris was stopped by Ax
toll, an honest workman on his jyay
to work. At close range, Morris shot
Axtell down and then turned hlssmok
Ing revolver on others who werp, clos
ing about him, sorlously wounding K.
E. Wcllrann and placing n 7 bullet
through the coat of Deputy Sheriff A.
A. Butler, who felled Morris with a
blow on tho head and placed him under
arrest. Hundreds quickly gathered to
tho sccno and the murderer barely es
caped lynching. For his part In the
robbery, Murray received a llfo sen
tence. Tho truo name of Morris may nov
ei bo known. He admits that Mor-
rlit Is not his namo, and refuses to say
what his right name Is. To Warden
Pratt, Morris, said a fow days ago
that he had brought sorrow enough
into tho hearts of his aged parents
and that he would not add to their
grief by disclosing his name. From
the photographs of him which havo
been taken slnco tho crlmo of May 9,
1911, ho says they could not recog
nize the son who left homo many
years ago. His parents are now In
tho evening ot their lives and will not
know their son dies on the gallows.
Tho execution was conducted by
Sheriff Joseph C. Sharp and every de
tail was carried out without untoward
accident. As Morris went to his
death, his last words were, "Goodbye,
boys." From all quarters of tho pris
on he was answered by calls from
prisoners and attaches ot tho prison,
"Goodbye, Morris."
Morris walked to tho Bcatfold guard
ed by two deputy shorlffs, ono on
either sldo ot him. He walked with
a firm step and with his head erect.
His remarkable nerve was unshut
tered. Ho smokod a cigar until ho
was about to ascend the stops ot tho
scaffola. Ho walked . quickly and
seemed to bo oager to havo tho ex
ecution quickly over with. His walk
from his death coll to tho steps ot
tho scaffold consumed just threo min
utes, As Morris reached tho scaffold, ho
threw his cigar away and smlllugly
glanced at tho spectators gathered
thoro. Then he quickly stepped onto
tho trap, Thlrty-ono seconds after ho
had stepped onto tho trap, hl3 body
dangled at tho end of the ropo and
ho was quickly surrounded by the at
tending physicians. They llBtoncd for
tbo last pulsations of his heart. Nino
minutes after tho trap was sprung,
Morris was declared dead. The noose
was taken from his neck and tho
black cap removed from his head. It
was officially determined that his neck
had been broken In tho fall, Tho at
tending physicians declared that from
their examination ot tho man, thoy
could state that ho was conscious ot
no sensations of pain from the mom
ent ho dropped.

"Old Line" Life Insurance
What It Is. How Established.
What It Will do For You
And Yours.
By "RICHA."RT JTIMIJT
Since the year 1759, which dato
marked what 'might be called tho
birth ot scientific or legal 'reserve life
Insurance in tho United SJutes, the
business has so developed that thero
Is now nearly 17 billions of dollars nt
llfo Insurance In American associa
tions and corporations whoso business
is based upon what Is popularly spok
en of as tho "Old Lino" plan. .The
combined assets ot tho companies car
rying this Inconceivably vast respon
sibility aggregato over four billions of
dollars, and during tho single year ot
1911, thoy paid to their respective
members approximately 400 millions
of dollars In death claims, matured
endowments, dividends and for Bur
rendered polclcs.
No other business or Industry or as
sociation ot capital, of whatever form
in tho entlro world, approachoB In
magnitude the vast totals abovo enum
erated. No single factor In our pres
ent day llfo has been dono moro goner
rlly recognized as essential, than tho
necessity ot protecting tbo dollar val
uation of human llfo from tho disas
trous contingency ot a promaturo or
unexpected death. No other belief Is
so genorally accepted by all classes
of peoplo, regardless ot religious con
victions, political faith, social or fi
nancial standing, as that ono of tho
chief duties In lite consists In provld;
Ing, both during life, and if necessary
after death as well, for thoso whoso
dependency ono has created, and that
In no other way can this bo dono
with tbo samo degrco ot absolute cer
tainty, as by means of legal reservo
llfo insurance.
This being so, ono would naturally
Infer that tho mattor would havo beon
mado the object of somo Htto study,
at least as far as tho elomental prin
ciples upon which tbo business was
basca were concernod, and that peo
ple ns u whole would havo familiarized
thcmsjrlvcs to u considerable degroa
with an Institution to which thoy
wero so liberally contributing their
support, both financial and moral, and
thnt so vitally concerned tho welfare,
not ony of themselves, but moro Im
portant of those nearest and donrcst
to them,
Tho contrary, howover, Is true, nnd
It can bo said with absoluto certainty
Jhat In no other entorprlso or invest
ment Involving tho outlay of money,
Is bo llttlo generally known by thoso
Interested, as Is known by tho aver
age man of tho principles upon which
'Ho lnsuranco companies opernto, and
which enable them to do what In
many cases appears to bo tho Impos
sible. It Is tho purposo of tho writer w
tell In this and articles that will fol
low, In language as free as Is possible
from technical phraseology, just what
llfo Insurance really Is, and what It
does, How It is established on a law
that Is as absoluto In It's, operations
as is tho law of gravity, and just how
that law was determined j to describe
and explain as clearly aa posslblo tho
various mans. of contracts of lnsuranco
thut uro Issued, and for Just what pur
poso cs eh plan Is best adapted. In
short, to so descrlbo nnd explain the
principles and plans of legnl reservo
lnsuranco ob to qualify tho average
man to corao to an lntolllgont under
standing ot whut Is without exception,
tho greatest co-operatlvo boneflclenco
tho world has over known.
Llfo lnsuranco dates far buck In tho
annnls of tho past. Indeed, tracos ot
tho theory of probabilities (which un
derlies llfo lnsuranco) havo beon
found ns far back as Plato, preceding
tho, Christian era. It Is certain that
somo four hundred years after Christ
a tablo was actually In oxlstonce by
which annuities could bo valued,
The first mention ot the actual prac
tice of llfo lnsuranco is by an un
known author ot tho sixteenth' cen
tury, who speaks of "Insurance mado
by somo nations upon tno lives of men,
In caso ot a deccaso upon a voyago,
to pay cortalu sums to their heirs or
creditors." . ,
