The name of Mr. Routh, who i consulted with Joseph Belnap In Pres ton on February 17 relative to the Ma- Jors case, has been referred to In con , nectlon with the letter, and It Is upon . this point particularly that Routh takes ! issue.

It was through my sister that I learned the details of Majors's case and I decided lo probe Into It further of my own volition to see Justice done. In my own heart, I , became convinced that Majors was 1 : not directly responsible for Captain Brown's death. I Cites Evidence, i If my Information Is correct, 1 Brown was shot In tho back. Majors was ahead and others of tho pursu- lng posse were behind. Majors car- rled a six-shooter. I understand that Brown's wound was from a rifle, also that the fatal bullet has never been exhibited. On February 16 I left for Preston, arriving there that night. The next j day I called on Mr. Belnap to dis cuss the case. I gave mv correct name. I did not say I was In the ' employ of either Mrs. Wagner or Ralph Wagner, her son. or that I represented a law firm of Salt Lake; neither did T claim to be a detective.

HOUSE IS CONSERVATIVE Senate Has More Bills Than Other Branch, but lAx Is Used. This wrok will fco tho finish of the tenth legislatlvo assembly. Tho consti tutional period of sixty days will expire Thursday. The house Is in a position to complete Its work by that time, but the senate Is loaded down- with business, and the Impression seems to be general that the clock will be stopped Thursday and the session contlnuo through to Saturday. At that time, It is almost a certainty, adjournment will be had. whether tho business Is disposed of or not. If adjournment Is had Thursday, It will hu an unprecedented event In Utah legislatures, for Uic memory of 'states men dons not contain a cell which dis closes Ihy fact that any previous legis lature has adjourned on time at least not In recent years. The present legislature presents al most a complete rovorsal of form when compared with preceding assemblies. This year It Is the house which Is the conservative body, and in this respect occupies the place usually held by the senate. This year the senators have had many more bills to Introduce than the house, a condition which has seldom If ever obtained before. House Prunes Bills. This year, also, It Is lho house which has wielded the six; In former years the senate was tho body which was sup posed to stand between tho people and freak leglslatlov. Tho reason for this is the fact that tho house Judiciary com mittee has been on lhc Job every morn ing since the day following the organi zation of the house As long as two weeks ago the judiciary committee's ta ble was clear of house bills. The Ju diciary is the most Important of the forty-two committees of the house. More than three-fourths of tho bills Introduced or coming from the senate go to that committee. In preceding years the Judiciary com mittee has permitted its work to pile up: this year's committee has it all times been well In control of the Situa tion. The reason for this gratifying con dition is the fact that at least four of the members of the Judiciary committee are old hands at the legislative busi ness. Some of those veterans have served a good many terms In tho house, and they have become thoroughly famil iar with lho ways of legislators and leg islative things. The house may thank Its Judiciary committee for the advan tageous position In which It finds Itself In these closing days. Sifting Committee. No less efficient than the Judiciary committee Is the sifting committee, which. In large measure, Is recrultod from the Judiciary For example. Chair man Henrio of tho Judiciary is also chairman of the sifting. Other members of the judiciary who are on the sifting are "Welling. Judd and Anderson. These, with Mabcy. Page and Dastrup. repre sent cxperienco. and energy. The next thing on the programme in the house, as well as In the senate, Is the general appropriation bill. That all Important bill should be disposed of to day or tomorrow. Once th appropria tion bill is out of tho way. the house can fairly fly through Its work, for the eter nally vexing problem of finances will no longer be present to harass the minds of tho members. Employers' Liability. One of the Important bills to come up In the house In these Jattcr days Is the employers' liability act. The, Joint com mittee of house and sonato members has labored several weeks with the bills pro viding for an employes liability act, and has finally drafted a measure which is said to be acceptable to both employers and employees. The bill Is on tho cal endar. The bill provfdlng for the electrocution of condemned prisoners, which seeks to abolish the Infliction of the death pen alty by shooting or hanging In favor of the electric chair, Is with the sifting committee. Time Consumers. Last week the house killed two bills whoso predecessors In previous legisla tures proved to bo time consumers of tho first order. Those bills were the rail road and public utilities commission bill and the measure providing for a chango In the commission form of government. The bill for lho creation for a state board of eugenics was also killed. The house passed the bill making an appropriation of 512,000 for the Orphans' Home and Day nursery and also finally disposed of senate bill No. 39, the "pure food" measure. The last named bill ex perienced a season of rough going. The adjustment of senate and house amend ments required numerous conferences, but at last the bill went through. The senate bill requiring inspection of hotels was also passed by the house. The bill Is designed to make hotel keepers observe sanitary rules and to supply clean linen and proper accommodation for their guests. 215 Bills Presented. The house has thus far seen 215 bills introduced. Twenty-five or thirty of these have been withdrawn and a major ity of the remainder have been killed by tho adoption of adverse committee reports. An event of much Importance to at least one house member was tho ap proval by lho governor of house bill No, 14(5. This measure was introduced by Van Wagoner of Wasatch, and pro vides a means whereby Wasatch coun ty can be cut In twain and a new coun ty created. The establishment of a new county out of the eastern portion of tho present Wasatch county is greatly de sired by the Inhabitants of both sec tions. A. division would greatly facili tate tho transaction of public business. Tho new county will have a population of about 6000, leaving 4000 of population In tho old county. TWO SMALL BLAZES ARE EXTINGUISHED Two small fires called the fire depart ment into action yesterday afternoon.

Francis Burgette Short Delivers Sermon on Needy Women. The Idea of pensioning needy mothors was discussed at the evening sorvicos In thn First Methodist Episcopal church yesterday by the Rev. Francis Burgette Short, pastor. The speaker expressed the opinion that tho state should bo come a father to this fatherless and guarantee protection and furnish support to needy mothers. Five reasons wcro given for tho pas tor's opinion as expressed. First, he explained that tho families of tho atato, with tho family ties that hold them to gether, should be preserved; second, the mothers of tho statu can best mother their own children; third, they can not proporly mother their own children If they arc obliged to cam a living for themselves and children; fourth, a mother Is a better mother tlum our institutions can possibly be, and fifth, tho mother Is rendering a valuable service for and to the state. "In view of these things," said the Rev. Mr. Short, "should not the state become a father to tho fatherless, guar anteeing them protection and support in this hour of imperative need?" At the morning service the Rev. Mr. Short discussed "The Sanctity of Mar riage and tho Deviltry of Divorce." In the course of his address the pastor declared that there is no earthly obli gation or contract more binding or as sacred as the marriage contract and that no civil court or ecclesiastical body has any right to assume to break such an obligation or to nullify such a con tract. The Rev. Mr. Short spoke of throe po rlods of our history In regard lo tho at titude toward marriage. The first, of these was the barbarian porlod, when the wife was a mero matter of conven ience and taken by the husband by brute force. Tho second period was charac terized as tho legal period. It, accord ing to the Rev. Mr. Short, transferred the unit from the Individual to the fam Ilv and caused tho development of the tribes. Law, rather than love, however, was the foundation of the home. Under that period polygamy was developed and In that connection the speaker declared that man has no mora right to more than one wife than has a woman to moro than one husband. "Love rather than law' said the speaker, "sacrifice rather than servitude, and mutual sympathy rathor than the curbing bond of legalism, should characterize the relation between hus-i Tho third period, whicli was the Pa crcd period In the attitude toward mar rlagc. began with tho Jewish race. Th Rev. Mr. Short told the story of th marriage of Adam and Eve and sal that Eve was not Adam's property c his slave, mil his companion, his sup plcment and complement. Hhe said th? the .lews did not confine thcmsclvos , the Ideal regarding the sanctity of maJ rlage, but fell Into polygamy; howevf the Ideal was preserved and was rccc nlzed by the early Christians and .y Christ, who honored sacred marrWe with his presence. J "nut In splto of all the sanctity," rid tho Rev. Mr. Short, "lho deviltry bf dlvorco projects Itself and becomesn incalculable enemy to society, pene trating ' grievous wrongs upon lnnont childhood." " SEVEN-OR-ELEVENj GAME IS RAIDED i .
