1BLACKHAND OUTRAGES IN UTAH.
A fow years ago Ogdcn had it? blackmail scare and nor Salt
Lake seems about to have the unenviable notoriety of beinp the
scene of blackmail outrages
Letters arc going through the mail, threatening to blow Dp
building m kill prominent men.
The latest demand in made on Charles W. Nibley, presiding
bishop of the L. D. S. eliurch and general manager of the I tali
Idaho Sugar company, who is called on ! paj $10,000 to the author!
of blackhand letters or suffer death.
Bishop Nible is display iny the l iplii spirit by publielj an
nounciug a reward 6t 1000 for th.- arrest and conviction of th- per
sons who sent the letters. He declared that every possible effort trill
be made to apprehend the writers and thai do blackmailer will ever
succeed In intimidating him with threats of iolenee.
tioing through much the same maneuvers as were employed in
Ogdcn. the detectives so far have failed to get a cine in Salt Lake.
On Thursday night. Bishop Nibley. following instructions, proceeded
to the place designated for the delivery of the $10,000. He had a
package tilled with tivsue paper instead of greenbacks. In th Og
den case, cash was demanded and the bag to be delivered contained
washers as a substitute for dollars
Bishop Nibley was not met by the blackmailers, and, therefore
uas mor- fortunate than the Ogdenites who nol nnl gut iu cuiiuct
with the criminals, but were fired on. not on one occasion alone, but
each time the appointment was kept
The Nibley blackmailers evidently are not of the same daring
ilesperate make-up as were the men who kept Ogden in apprehension
for a period of several months, and it may be the letters arc nothing
rr -e than empty warnings, back of which there is do intent to re
violence. Bui Bishop Siblej is proceeding in the righl direc-Mm.-

H that the Wells alien and ownership lav of ( alifornia infringed the
trcat oi commerce and navigation between the United States and
Japan. This point apparently was not strongly pressed at the time
B The league ot nations probably could take jurisdiction "cr a con-
trovcrsy in which treaty rights were involved. This point remain
to be cleared up
The Japanese even concede the nht ui the United states to
B exclude all Japanese immigrants from this country within certain

But the issue as a whole IS viewed as a domestic question
that is not even subject to review by the league of nations

on Senator Harding that if the Ohio man dues not fully agree with
him, another distinguished gentleman will seek a corner iu which to
pout and grow sullen.
A special dispatch from Washington quotes friends of Senator
Borah a-s laying the Idaho man regards Senator Harding as a
"weather vane." and that unless he BOSiea QUI now pledged to
scrap the league of nations, he might be swayed into lomi aotl oil

nominee. Senator Borah has stopped talking for his election
For several days the rumors have been flying thick that both
Senators JohntOO ot I alifornia nud Borah of Idaho watt diatMtitfied
with Senator Harding's attitude, and one report was that the iren

effort to commit him definitely to a declaration that he would scrap

however, indicate that the (. alifornia sulon had no such intention,
and that he is not following Borah in this revolt Senator Johnaon,
it in declared, is not doubting Senator Harding's psition. and is
convinced that he ha'- scrapped the league
We predict that the Republican leaders, after this Campaign
will scrap both BtWfth and Johnson. If the two men persist in being
dictators, they eventually will be outcasts
