Budge Case Upheld Polygamy Clause Ruling
The Utah Supreme Court affirms a lower court ruling in a contest over Judge Alfred Budge’s election. The court holds the challenge based on polygamy prohibitions lacks jurisdiction and that celestial or patriarchal marriages exist only as acts or teachings for this life and do not target personal belief. The decision, written by Chief Justice Airshie, upholds costs in favor of the respondent.

Excursions 70 Be Abolished In Transcontinental Service
Chicago reports that several transcontinental lines plan ending personally conducted excursions to California. A meeting of interested railroads convened to vote on the change. Lines favoring abolition argue the practice outlived its usefulness while Harriman, Santa Fe, and Peck Island may back it. Burlington reportedly opposes. Each line runs three to four tourist cars weekly from Chicago to California with conductors. Abolishment would remove tourist agents and close some excursion bureaus.
