In view of the attack which Presi
dent Roosevelt has mado upon Senator
Perkins, the senior senator from Cali
fornia, for his attitude on the Japanese
acitation iu his state, friends ot tlio
Pacific, coast senator believe ho will
defend himself on tho floor of the
senate. Senator Perkins consulted with
several senators on the sub.iecfc today.
It is urced that while thoro may ho si
differonoo of opinion betweou the sen
ator and his colleagues as to tho rights
of a state to take certain action, re
gardless of treaties entered into by tho
federal government, he will rccoiyo
strong support on account, of tho dis
approval among the senators of an at
tack upon one of their number by tho
executive at this time.
Ronator Perkins claims that tho
eriticistn of his attitude on the naval
programmo is unwarranted.
Striking Contrasts.
"lu 1S93." ho explains, "I became
a member of tho senato naval affairs
committee. At that time wo did not
have a single battleship in commission,
aud very fow first-class cruisers. To
day wo "have twenty-seven battleships
in' commission and five in course of
construction, in addition to the Hoot
of first clnss cruisers, torpedo boats and
other modern vessels of war.
"The appropriation of 1S93 was only
23,000,000 for the support and build
ing of the navy and everything else.
The naval bill now pending in the sen
ate carries more than $ 125.000,000.
"In 1803 we had but 15.000 sailors
and marines. Today we have about
15.000 sailors and marines.
"I have voted for every increase in
tho naval appropriation that has eomo
before the committee, with the exeep;
tion of the last proposal to build four
battleships in one year, which I did
not think oxpe'dient. believing it the
part of wisdom and wise business policy
to profit by our own experience and
the mistakes in naval construction of
other countries.
"As a verification of what I say T
would refer lo tho Congressional Jiecord.
which records every vote for and
against auj' pending measures."
Censure Undeservod.
Thei fact that in the prospective re
organization of the senate committees,
Senator Perkins of California will suc
ceed Senator Hale of Maino as
chairman of the committee on naval
affairs, has had the effect of adding
to tho interest folt in the president's
reference to the California senator as
one who has hampered the growth of
the navy.
Tho sub.iecfc was discussed lotlay in
both houses of Congress, and it re
ceived special attention from members
of the California delegation.
One of the California members, "Rep
resentative .Knowlaud, freely expressed
tho opinion that Senator Perkins had
not deserved the president's censure,
lie said:
"1 have been inclined to uphold the
president in his efforts to bring about
an amicable sctttlcmont of the .lapan
esc question, but I certainly deploro
his attack upon Senator Porkius, and
I believe this is practically tho senti
ment of the California delegation. As
ranking membor of the senate commit

Congress has been stronger or a more

sonior senator from California.
"Instead of hampering tho develop
ment of tho navy, ho has rendered con
spicuous sorviee in bringing it up to
its present high standard of ofiicicnoy.
Senator Perkins, together with the
other members of the California delega
tion, has been urging for tho last two
venrs the retention of a formidablo
tlcct in Pacific waters. Tf n serious
situation has existed in our relations
with Japan, then it would appear to
havo been criminal to take tho entire
fleet from Pacific waters. Tho presi
dent should bo backed iu his efforts to
scttlo the Japanese matter by di
plomacy, but wo must avoid any indi
cations of undue fear."
After, tho conference at tho "White
house, Mr. Lane said:
"T have read tho president's state
ment ou tho Japanese question, and I
think he is following tho lino of policy
that will work out for tho best in
terest of tho Pacific coast. This is not
a partisan question, but is One involv
ing a great national policy, and I bo
liove that only the national govern
ment can deal adoquaiety with it. To
my personal knowledge tho president
has been endeavoring for tho last two
years to meet tho demand of our peo
ple in tho most effective manner. I
believe his policy has beon a ouccoss
thus far. It demands n longer tost,
and stato co-oporation is necessary to
achievo tho result we all desire.
"I am in favor of tho exclusion of
Japanese laborers, so as to avoid an
other raco question in this country,
which is inevitable if they come in.
T think tho president's method of reach
ing this result is practical, and will
prove more effective than moro ag
gressive and radical measures at this
time. As a labor leader in San .Fran
cisco recently said, 'Wo are in favor of
exclusion and not of reprisal.'
"I am for standing by the president,
bocauso his policy has been one of na
tional importance and international
good feeling. "'

SALO I, Or-. 7-""eb. S Vigorous protests
are comltiK- to the senate resolutions com
mittee apralnst Senator Bailey's resolution
memorializing congress to extend tho Chi
nese exclusion act to Include all Asiatics.
Those protests aro comlnp principally
from personal friends of President Roose

vlco-consul stationed at Portland. Thoso
opposing tho resolution aro urgins: that
Japanese bo exempted from Its sweeping
provisions. Tho resolutlona committee baa
not takon action and Is waiting to hear
-from all sides. Bailey, author of tho
resolution, Is a momber of tho commlttco
and declares that ho will uiako a fight
for it to sec that the resolution, without
exempting tho Japanese, is favorably ro-ported.
Agitation Postponed.
SACRAMENTO, Cal.. Feb. S. Only flvo
senators favored agitation of the nntl
Japanene question when the matter was
called up this morning by Marc Anthony
of San Francisco.
The senato decided, by a vote of 25 to

upon tho report of the committee on ex
ecutive communications, advising against
legislation aimed at tho Japanese.

Cold water intelligently used docs not

One should "keep moving" when wet or
chilly and not stand on a street corner or
elsewhere without taking a deep breath.
The lungs used in this way act as a pump to
drive tho blood along. This practice, with
the others named, will reduce to a shadow
the liability of taking cold every little while.

action of tho city council in tho matter
of tho club buffets. Aa far as the
Commercial club is concerned, its
buffet business is of comparative in
significance. It simpl- lollows the
long established custom of similar insti
titutions all over tho United States. No
liquors or cigars arc sold to anyono
under any circumstances, except to tho
club members and in a f cw random
cases to duly introduce non-resident
members.
"Tho Commercial club is, nnd has

COMMERCIAL CLUB TRAFFIC BUREAU
DISCUSSES THE PUBLIC SERVICE BILL
Salt Lako City, Fob. S, 1909.
To the Public: In the cditorlnl columns
of The Salt Lako Tribune on Sunday last,
tho public servico bill now before tho
stato legislature was somewhat severely
dealt with, in that It was treated as be
ing a. measure of unlimited blackmailinK
and crooked crafting possibilities, with
little, if anything, in its provisions to
commend t to favorablo consideration.
If it is to bo admitted, as practically
charged in the article, that many of the
peoplo of Utah, and particularly thoso
who would llkoly be intrusted with Its
administration, aro simply a lot of rns
cals wholly devoid of common honesty or
patriotism, then tho state Is at least en
titled to the compassionate pity of tho
rest of the country, and tho legislature
should verj' properly hesitate before pro-
cocdlng in tho usual and lawful way with
any attempt to accomplish a reasonablo
regulation of the operations of tho var
ious public utility corporations within
its boundaries.
Nearly every one of the other states
of the union has definite nnd compre
hensive laws for the proper government
of common carriers and other corpora
tions within their respective limits, nnd
of thoso tho public servico measuro of
tho stato of Now York is admittedly in
every 'respect the very best, sinco it is th
finished product of long continued prac
tical experience, and the thorough work
of the highest legal as well as scholarly
ability of that great state. The gov
ernor of our sister state, Colorado, him
self one of tho foremost lawyers of the
country, convinced of its profound merits,
in his recent message to its legislature,
now In session, recommended the total
repeal of tho present railroad laws of that
state - and the enactment of an entirely
new law which should follow tho plan of
tho New York public service mcusuro as
nearly as might bo found practicable.
The measuro now submitted to the leg
islature of this stato for its considera
tion is carefully framed almost ex
clusively In form and language upon
those laws of New York, together with
tho United States laws for tho regula
tion of interstate commerce. Why a
great newspaper should therefore charac
terize It as an unmitigated blackmailing
document and scheme Is not easily un
derstood, nor Is it a charge easily de
fensible. -
The' extensive system of freight tariffs
covering local rates throughout and with
in this stato upon all the railway lines,
instead of being so limited In extent and
unimportant in character as to be but
of absolutely delusivo concern so far as
the province of any commission to
equitably regulate or tho interests of tho
people arc concerned, as claimed by Tho
Tribune, next to the accomplishment of a
satisfactory through interstate rato basis,
is of tho most vital importance and tho
very bulwark upon which the jobbing
trade of this city, Ogden and other dis
tributing points must nocessarlly rely In
meeting their active competition from
distant centers, coming usually from tho
opposite direction, east, west, north and
south, as well as of simple equity to the
people In and the development of the in
terior districts of the state. Many of tho
local tariffs now in use were established
years ago under conditions widely diffor
ent from those existing today, and the
present rates are usually higher than aro
charged elscwhero west of tho Missouri
river for similar service, as will bo
shown in comparative statements soon
to be issued. Most essential revisions
No firm or corporation in tho country
has so many positions to offer to those
who aro seoking work, or has such poor
luck in getting these positions filled,
as the United States government There
is not a day in which Undo Sam does
not learn that, for various reasons,
somo ono or several of his positions have
been vacated through one cause of an
other. It is a peculiar condition of
affairs, and still ono which cannot bo
denied.
Tho congross of tho Unitod States
is partly to blamo for tho existenco of
such a 'condition, nnd Theodore Rooso
volt is partly to blame. Tho prosi- j
dent demands that government posi
tions be filled only l3' men nnd women
who are competent to do tho work re
quired of them, and for this reason he
wantB that all applicants bo required
to pass a satisfactory civil servico ex
amination. As soon as ho madn known
his desires, congress proceeded to enact
them into law. henco the lack of per
sons to fill positions as rapidly as they
aro mado vacant.
Hardly a day passes in which tho
civil service commission in this city
docs not receive one or more notices
of examinations to bo held at given
times in scores of cities throughout the
country, and Mondav was no exception
to tho rule. The Tribuno published,
Saturday, a list of all the examinations
to bo hold in tho United States under
civil service rules, which had been an
nounced up to that time. Monday no
tices of four moro examinations wero
mado public and it is naturally to be
supposed that numerous others will follow.
BIG SUM DEMANDED 1
OF UTAH COPPER CO.
Suit for $75,000 Is Filed for

A suit for $75,000 was entered in tho
oflico of tho clerk of llm United States
Circuit court "Wednesday afternoon
against the Utah Coppoer company and
three of its officials, by Edward Has
kins Shackelford. Tho suit is one for
allegod trespass, and tho plaintiff not
only sues for tho sum mentioned, but
also demands tho cost of the trial.
In the papers filed by counsel for
Mr. Shackelford it is sot forth that on
August 7, 1007, tho plaintiff was tho
original and first inventor of a box
cleaning device for concentrating
tables, and that on August 7 ho filed
an application for patent papers, which
was grantod to him on robruary 11,
100S. His slatemont made in tho pa
pors filed stato that tho patont. was to
remain in force for a period of seven
Icon .years, giving him. therefore, ox
clusivo" rights to his patent.
Mr. Shackelford sets forth that sinco
his papors wero granted to him ho has
been engaged in the manufacture and
uso of various devices in which ho
embodied his invontiou. He further

-
Should the present local freight rates
on coal become reasonably reduced
through the establishment of a commis
sion, or otherwise, lo tho very great bene
fit and urgent need of all classos of our
people, and tho railway companies, which
are now tho principal producers, then
add tho amounts of such freight reduc
tions to the prices of the coal Itself, as
Tho Tribune suggests tliey would do;
whllo such action would simply bo shoor
folly on their part if attempted to bo
done. It would surely bo followed by such
further and drastic legislation as would
forcibly Impress upon the minds of tho
railway managers the clear fact that
within this state tho peoplo of tho stato
arc even mightier than they.
Tho stato Is now practically with noth
ing on its statute books affording to the
people oven a first line of defenso against
tho constantly increasing encroachments
and vastly enlarging powers of tho per
fectly organized, securely intrenched and
thoroughly disciplined forces, as woll as
the plethoric purses of tho railway and
other public utility corporations; of which
an Immediate and impressive example Is
being afforded by their active and con
j stantly enlarging lobby organization in
opposition to this proposed public scrv-
lco measure. Tho stato merely seeks for
Its own safety somo definite and sound
basis from which to justly regulate, but
not by any means to unjustly cripple or
destroy them, and this the ical welfare
of the state demands that It should have
without any further carefully planned
and constructed delay.
t
Tho work sought to be accomplished by
this bureau is in no possible sense along,
or governed by any political lines, hut
is Intended solely for the public good;
yet it Is by no means oppressed with any
belief that public officials arc necessarily,
or usually, also common scoundrels, but
rather possesses every confidence in and
respecting the honesty of purpose and
action held by tho lawfully chosen repre
sentatives in the stato legislature, and
that tho true interests of tho people, as
well as justice to all corporations, aro
entirely secure, in their trustworthy
hands.
Thus far and always In the history of
tho stato tho expressed requirements of
the common carriers and other corporato
Interests have been most generously con
sidered and invariably conceded , hence it
is far from an equally liberal or appre
ciative rcsponso on tho part of theso cor
porate beneficiaries of the bounty of tho
slate that when some action is believed
to bo wise and necessary for its own pro
tection the state should be subjected by
them or through their agency to every
posslblo obstacle and active hindrance in
its enactment.
i
Tho pending public servico measure is
believed to bo thoroughly meritorious in
every essential respect, and should thcre
foro be enacted into the laws of the state
for tho direct and great benefit, protec
tion and happiness of all of its people.
Any question concerning the extent of
tho expenses arising from its adoption
and administration Is far too trifling for
serious consideration when contrasted
with tho magnificent public benefits ab
solutely sure to follow in due time after
its passage. Very respectfully,
CHARLKS A. QUTGLEY. President.

One of the world'H greatest sopranos,
one of the great stars In opera. Gariskl,
was heard at tho Salt Lako theater on
Monday night. Sha was greeted by a
lino audience and, what Is out of tho or
dinary, an unusually warm audience, that
encored her again and again, to which ;
sho responded. When at tho close of the
splendid progranimo sho sang that mas
terpiece of Wagner. "Isolde's Llebestod,"
the audience would not let her go. and
In rcsponso to tho encoro she sang Wag
ner's "Tho Cry of the Valkyries." Tho
recital was ono of tho best ever given In
Salt Lake. Frank La Forge, who is woll
remembered for his appearance with Mine.
Gadskl on her previous visit here, lived
up to hl3 reputation as an extremely sym
pathetic nnd talented accompanist, one
who comprehends and Interprets with
genius and skill.
At the Colonial tonight the Shrlners
will hold sway, the members of the mys
tic order, with their wives and friends,
attending In a body, to soo Florence Gear
in "Marrying Mary-" In addition to tho

emplified upon tho stage. There will bo
many things out of tho ordinary- Whllo

Is opon to all, and It Is expected that
when the curtain rises one of the larg
est audiences ever gathered In the play
house will be present, the scat salo Mon
day Indicating this. You will regret It
If you don't go.

Every act at the Orpheura this week.
In the great, Orphcum show. Is really a
hcadllncr. That beautiful, entrancing
danco of "Mile. De DIo Is tho most stu
pendous act In vaudeville. With scenic,
electrical and prismatic effects that havo
never been excellod In tho city, tho act
has created a furore of IntcresL
Thcro Is a pretty love story running
throughout tho brilliant comedy. "Tho
Man on tho Box," as it Is being Inter
preted by Wlllard Mack and his splen
did company of associate players at the
Bungalow this week.
Thurlow Borgon, who has furnished
Florcnco Roberts highly adequate sup
port during the last two seasons, Is again
conspicuous In Miss Roberts's support.
Mr. Bergen has. In "The Hons'o of Bond
age," a splendid role, which ho makes
the most of. With Mr. Bergen. Arthur
Forrest, Ann Warrington, Mary Bortrand
and Harry Glbbs, John Cort has certain
ly given Miss Roberts a flawless cast.
"The Houso of Bondage" opens at tho
Salt Lako theater Thursday.
The Grand theater programmo this
week makes tho announcement that here
after tho curtain will rise for night per
formances promptly at S o'clock and 'J-30.
For tho aftornoon matinees tho hour will
rcmnln the samo. 2:30. This week's bill
opens with a comedy turn by Robinson
and Grant that Is mndc the funnier on
account of tho dlmrnntrvcness of tho
actors. They are tho real thing In mid
gets. Mabel Cascdoy, tho California
Blnger and comedienne, has a vory good
voice, and sings somo taking songs, va
rvhig them with a representation of a llt
tfft chap telling of the virtues of his llttlo
dog. Jim. Tho Olivers do some splendid
things on the tight wire as good, In
fact, as ono may sco most anywhere.
There are threo of them, two young men
and one young woman, and tho cake
walk Is a wonderfully clever bit of wovk.
Caro of the musical feature, of tho bill
Is conlUled to the Pondletons, and the
confidence Is In no sense of tho word
abused. Elsa Pendleton handles the vio
lin and the cello superbly, and with ex
quisite presence. Mr. Pendleton per
