MADE PRESIDENT
Selected as Head of tlie Utah
Hotel Operating Company
of Salt Lake.
COMPANY WILL BE
INCORPORATED TODAY
Furnishings of New Hostelry
Will Be Upon a Magnifi
cent Scale.
With Daniel C. Jackling as president:
Joseph Geoghegan, vice president; John
0. Cutler, secretary and treasurer, and
A. J. Dean. George O. Reif, C. W. Whit
Icy, George Itomncy, C. W. NIbley and
H. G. Whitney as the other directors, ar
ticles of Incorporation of the Utah Hotel
Operating company will probably be tiled
with the secretary of state today. The
company will be Incorporated at J300.000.
of which amount practically all Is paid In.
All of the stock In the operating com
pany is held by Salt Lake City Inves
tors with Hie exception of tho holdings
of Mr. Dean of Kansas City. The Utah
Hotel company Is the largest individual
stockholder. Among the heaviest stock
holders outside of the officers and the
members of the hoard of directors arc
the Home Fire Insurance comnanv. the
Z. C. M. I., and L. S. Hills. A consid
erable portion of the stock Is held by Mr.
Rolf, who will manage the new holol.
and Mr. Dean, with whom Mr. Rclf va
associated In the hotel business In Kansas
City for a number of years. To The
Tribune Friday afternoon Mr. Jackling
said:
What Mr. Jackling Says.
"Tes, I havo accepted the office of
president of the Utah Hotel Operating
company. When the new hotel Is ready
for business 1 shall go there to live.
"The operating company will be incor
porated at $300,000. Practically this en
tire amount has boon subscribed. To cre
ate local Interest an effort has been
made to secure small subscriptions as
well as large ones and included in the
list of stockholders are a number of
Salt J.ake business men and concerns
that have taken out smaller amounts of
stock.
"Accommodations from the most ex
pensive to tho most reasonable will be
maintained at tho new hotel. The op
erating company proposes to pay par
ticular attention to the commercial trade.
All clascs of the public, In fact, will
Klven particular care We propose to
have tho best accomrpodatlons In the
west, for which the guest at the hotel
will not have to pay higher prices than
he now pays at the loading hostelrles. I
believe the splendid nnd spacious cafes,
grills, parlors and ballrooms In the new
hotel will enable us to entertain at pub
lic functions In a manner not to be
equaled In the United States. I doubt
If there Is another hotel In this country
where (here Is as much space devoted
to rooms for public entertainment as
there Is In the Utah hotel. We will be
In a position to scat comfortably at table
more than 1500 persons I believe the
hotel will cater to persons who now live
In homes of their own.
"An order which has already been
placed for J20.000 worth of linen Is an in
dication of the up-to-date and costly
equipment with which the Utah hotel
will be provided by the operating com
pany. This linen will be marked with
the hotel's crest, a beautiful design. Tho
other purchases to be made for the hotel
will be second to none, so members of
tho operating company say.
Purchasing Committee Now East.
"A purchasing committee, composod of
Manasr Relf. A. J. Dean. John C. Cut
ler nnd George Romncy, Is now In the
east buying equipment. Other members
of tho company will probably Join this
committee.
"Everything to be purchased for the
hotel will be made to order and will be
high class, as the linen purchase Indi
cates. "The committee making the purchase?
will, as far as possible, have shipments
made through S'nlt Lako dealrrs, but in
many Instances tho factories will havo '
he depended upon exclusively. It Is said
The furnishings should arrive In this city
about six woks nrlor to the opening of
the ik-w hotel, which will take place on
June 1. two years from the time the first
bit of arth was removed for the mam
moth structure.
"Wesley Austin, who ias had extensive
experience in the hotel business In Den
ver and eastern cities, will lo asslstan'
i manager of the Hotel Utah."
RECALL ELECTION MEETS
WITH LEGAL OBSTACLES
Seattle Court Enjoins City Council from
Appropriating Money for the
Purpose.
SEATTLE. Jan. 6, District Judge Cor
nelius H. llanford enjoined the mem
bers of' tho city council today from ap
propriating money for the special elec
tion called for February 7 to oust Mayor
Hiram Gill under the recall provision of
the city charter, for alleged misconduct
in offlco. The court's decision was hand
ed down in the caso of a non-resident
taxpayer against tho city comptroller and
the city council. Judge Hanford's de
cision says;
"It. Is tho opinion of the court that
any taxpayer, resident or non-resident. Is
entitled to all tho relief which a court
of equity has power to grant which Is
Intended to frustrate efforts of a. minority
of citizens to reverse tho result of a
general election, by ousting tho cholco
of tho majority, when the means adopted
for that purpose include fraud, forgery
and false official certificates.
"It In the Intention of the court to
Interfere as little as possible with the
members of tho city council and other
officers of tho city In the performance
of their duties, but as at present ad
vised, It will restrain tho misappropri
ation of public money, raised by tax
ation, for expenses of a special election
under this recall petition."
MINERS HELD PRISONERS

A
A FAIR DIVISION
Premature Operations of the State Legislature,
NICE POINTS RAISED
IN HER CASE
Question Arises as lo "Whether
Two-thirds or Majority Neces
sary to Unseat.
INVOLVES ACT OF BRIBERY
"Wording of Resolution AV ill De
termine Manner of Conducting
Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Whether It
would require a two-thirds vote or only
a majority of the senato to unseat Mr.
Lorlmor as a senator from Illinois is a
question that has arisen In the contest'
about to be waged. The matter depends
upon whether the opposition to Lorimer
seeks to connect him with any corrupt
practices or merely attempts lo show
that he was the beneficiary of corruption
for which he was not responsible.
Senators who havo made close studies
of election contest cases seem lo agree
thai If the resolution to unseat Mr. Lorl-
mer should contend that he was princi
pally Involved In the bribery charges
that havo been investigated, the only
course would bo to vote on tho question
of expulsion, to carry which two-thirds
of the senate would havo to bo recorded
in tho affirmative.
If the motion were to declare the elec
tion of Mr. Lorimer Invalid and void, and
it was admitted there was no evidence
to connect, him with the bribery, only a
majority vole of a quorum of tho senate
would be required to adopt tho motion.
Wherein Difference Lies.
Under the first situation, or that which
would connect a senator principally with
corrupt practices. It Is said the contest
must be between the senate and tho In
dividual senator under charges, while In
tho second caso tho contest would be be
tween the senato and the legislaturo
which elected, or the governor who ap
pointed, the senator involved.
It now looks as if tho tight would be
opened In the senate on Monday. Al
though Senator Beverldgo ha3 not yet
admitted that ho Intends lo file a minor
ity report from the committee on privi
leges and elections., tho general under
standing Is that ho will do so and t.hut
he will speak upon It In advance of Sen
ator Owen of Oklahoma, who had an
nounced his Intention to spoak yesterday,
hut was prevented by. adjournment.
Some Want to Feel Pulse.
Tho Beverldgo report Is expected lo
provide the means for a. division of senti
ment for and against Lorlmor. Some of
tlie senators favorable to Lorlmor have
said the case ought to go over for a few
weeks, that the sentiment of the country
might bo ascertained, but others arguo
that sentiment has nothing to do with
the caso and that tho senate must now
sit in Judgment und decide the matter
upon the evidence.
A postponement of consideration only
could be had with unanimous consent, as
the questions Involved In (ho proceed
ing arc of the highest privilege and may
bo called up at any time by any sen
ator. If the case Is opened on Monday, as
seems likely, the general Impression Is
that It will continue until disposition is
made of It.

Special to The Tribune.
1MLAV. New, Jan. G. One man shot
to death, his wife perforated with a bul

of $1200. This Is the result of the hold
up of the saloon owned by Eugene
Quillcl, one and a half miles from this
place, at 0 o'clock tonight.
The Southern Pacific railroad owns the
lownslto of Imlay and will not. permit
any saloons in the town. The result Is
that drinking places have been estab

Kill Husband, Wound Wife.
This evening three masked men en
tered the saloon of Qulllci at 9 o'clock
and shot tho owner dead, following by
shooting his wife In tho back. She is
believed to bo fatally Injured. The rob

CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS IN
ALMOST TOTAL DARKNESS
Wrecking of Power Plant Results In
Injury of Three and Immense
Property Damage.
MINNEAPOLIS. Jan. 0. An explosion
and flro I hat almost destroyed the plant
of the General Electric company early
this morning, Injuring three men, caus
ing an estimated loss of ?i50.000. tonight
loft the city practically in darkness.
A few of tho main office buildings got
light and power for elevators from the
street, railway company until 11 o clock,
but ufter that, an Is tho custom, all
power was turned ofr. Street lamps were ;
dark and all save tho main section of
the city was entirely without light a
night; ,
The General Electric company has oOO
men at work making connections, so the
companv's power plant at Taylors Falls
can bo utilized- Tho power from this
plant has always been distributed
through the main plant In Minneapolis,
but the wrecking of the latter prevents
this.
The thrco men Injured will recover.
Tho escape of the eleven rncn from the
building after the explosion Is a source
of continued wonderment- On their way
to a mill nice, through which most of
them escaped, they wore compelled to pick
their way through a mas6 of charged,
tungled wires, with gaseous flamus burn
ing all around them, and bricks and
parts of the building tumbling down on
all sides.
Fearing that tho darkness of the city
may Induce lawlessness, tho entire po
lice and detective force Is held In re
serve with waiting1 automobiles.

UNABLE TO UNRAVEL
MYSTERY OF DEATHS
Coroner's Jury, in Case of Mary
land Swain and Betrothed,
Cannot Fix Cause.
AMPLE EVIDENCE OF POISON
,No -Testimony,-However, to Show
How the Deadly Drug Was
Brought Into House.
CUMBERLAND. Md.. Jan. fi. "Came
to their deaths by means unknown lo
the jury."
This was tho conclusion reached by
the twelve men who for nearly five
hours tonight heard testimony regarding
the deaths last Saturday of Graco ISlos
scr and Charles T. Twlgg, whose bodies
were found by the mother of the girl,
seated on a sofa in the parlor of the
Elossor home. The tragedy occurred
less than thirty hours before the time
Bet for the marriage of the victims.
One of tho points broughL out was that
May Elosser. ono of Grace's sisters, after
helping their mother carry Grace's body
from tho parlor to a bed Jn a room In
the rear, had herself been seined with
Illness which showed symptoms of pois
oning by hydrocyanic acid. No connec
tion between this and tho deaths of the
others was made apparent by the ques
tioning of the witnesses.
There was abundant testimony that v
amlnallons of the bodies by medical men
and chemists showed that cvanldo of po
tassium caused llie deaths of Twlgg and
Graco Elosser. How the poison was
brought Into tho house Is a mvsterv. All
members of the Elosser famllv declared
that no evldcnco had been removed or
concealed.
Mrs. Elossor mother of the dead girl,
who was brought from a sick bed to tes
tify, said sho saw Twlgg arrive on Sat
urday, embrace Grace and give her the
wedding ring before he sal down. The
pair asked her to come Into tho parlor,
but sho declined, not wishing to disturb
them. She said her daughter. May. was
upstairs taking a bath when her .sister
and Twlgg wore found dead by Mrs.
Klosser. Mrs. Elosser said she first
thought they were asleep. She called
Grace and tried to aroaiso her. Discov
ering Twlgg to be in tho same condition,
she placed her hand on Jils shoulder arid
said: "Charlie, Charllo, what have you
done?"
Asked If sho saw any bottles or glasses
In the room, sho held up her hand and
said, dramatically, "As God Is my judge,
I saw nothing "
Harlan B. Norrls. an eight-year-old
boy. said he saw both Twlgg and Grace
Elosser after they had been found dead,
ouch grasping a glass, and that Dr. E.
L. Broadortip had removed these glasses.
This was in direct, contradiction of Dr.
Broaderup'a testimony that ho saw no
glasses.

W. W. Armstrong There Is no question 9
In my judgment, but the business men HI
of Salt Lake City In general arc In fl 9:
better condition today than they HI
have been in a number of years past. Bf
While tlie year 1910 was a n,ulct one. mwM
trade sales In nearly all cases have iBa
been up with those of 1900. and ecpn- fnV
omy and retrenchment have been the IBV
order of the dav throughout the en-
tire year. The" result Is, no doubt. ij
shown In Increase of profit and a
healthy, normal, wholesome cpndl- mYfL
lion of business In general. The out- Hffi
look for the coming season could not Hi's
he better to the man of business. To Blw
the business man who Is furnishing jBitf
necessities or those commodities 'wmM
which go to equip our mines, our MrffiJ
mills and our farms, the outlook 13 BMgt
very bright, bill to the business man S
who caters to the luxuries or the wi'M
speculatlvo desires of the people, the ffin

Rodney T. Badger Business conditions ffiifl
are all right. The quietude of tho JW
fall was natural, but, generallv lt,l7
speaking, conditions are excellent and ff&
the outlook for a prosperous year de- wa
cidedly favorable. Bfilf
C. S. Burton T do not know of anything 4
which could be viewed with alarm or Ifi
which might tend to produce any un-
easiness with reference to financial H iRi
conditions cither locally or In the M jm
country at large. On tho other hand, M-i!
I do know that conditions are good iff SI
nnd that the country Is decidedly MS
prosperous. It Is true, perhaps, that 9(n
locally the past year has not been jBJ
as prosperous as other years, but that 911,
Is a condition which is rapidly ad- &jf
Justing itself, and It Is one which
should occasion no concern. Money
Is easy throughout the United Slates. fS
There Is no trouble in the great Hjt
money centers of New York and Chi- mi a
cago. Money recently dropped from 6
per cent to 4 rJi cent, which Is a Mrr
certain Indication of prosperity. 1
H. P. Clark I consider, tho business out- jMvj
look for 1911 to be unusually good. 3B1
The crop production for 1310 was the ffl
greatest In tijie history of the coun- mj
"try Livestock of all kinds is bring- BJ
Ing good prices. The outlook In tho SS'
mining Industry Is first class. A new Hi'
and active interest Is being taken, Ml.
which promises a sreat revival in Sf
that field. Local business conditions Ml-'
show a marked improvement since H;
the holidays. I ca,n see no reason Mi
why 1911 should not bo ono of the
most prosperous years In the history
of Salt Lake City and the state of I
Utah. It
W. F. Earls Although the trade has not SB i
como up to expectations this fall and M !
winter, there Is nothing In condl- jjj'
tlons to give cause for any uneasi- gBw
ncss. General business conditions are !
good, at least as good as they wera tmw
fea year ago, and the prospects are sar
w better than they were at that time. fll!
W, S. McCornlck General business con- wj
dltlons are good and there need be ailf
no fear of any unstablllty In busl- flr
ness. The only thing I know ot jX j
which might occasion any concern m' s
with reference to local business con- tm
dltlons la the fact that we have hart gjU i
an open winter, with tho natural re- jjfcji
sult of course, that there has been afj)
a falling off In retail business. In
some quarters the business has not gjflj
come up to expectations and more or a3
less concern has resulted How- si
ever, there Is no occasion for any ap- 4e
prehension.
Heber M. Wells Salt Lako City is but S
the ringers or toes of the great body 'Isj BJ
whose pulsating heart is in New ;Jj
York, and recent advices from the Jji H
heart are to tho effect that conditions
aro much Improved. 1 believe they ilH
are. I note In the dispatches that !"3H
the railroads are approving great &jt$H
budgets of expenditures for better- ?4
