REASON NO. 9.
The same reasons which made it possible to develop a Weaver In Phil
adelphia and a Folk in Missouri, justify the election of Ezra Thompson
and a mendly Council in Salt Lake City. Tho whitewash brush in tho
north end of tho joint building has been overworked, so often that it de
serves a rest. Men with backbone are not in the high places.
The taxpayers are being systematically robbud of "thousands of dollars
by several employees of the Morris administration. There are several de
partments that are fairly reeking with petty crime. If the Mayor's office
and the City Attorney's office do not know that a city official "borrowed"
from Salt Lake City a large sum to square himself with Salt Lake county
last year, officials of these departments ore too obtuse to be trusted further
in important capacities. There is no one charging that these officials are
other than honest men, but there are many reasons why they have not
sufficient backbone and official alertness to be in charge of Salt Lake City
while a raid is being made on the treasury.
In another department the head of that department is -accused of pad
ding the payrolls and dividing up with the employees. Only last week an
employee of the department was on a "toot" during working hours, and
when asked how he could square himself with his superior, he produced a
receipt for S16, which he declared represented the amount he paid the of
ficial for reporting him on duty while he was in fact unengaged. Two other
employees of the soma department aro said to have admitted that they, too,
had "split up" with their superior.
Ezra Thompson, Judge Hiles and an American party Council would
send these payroll padders to the penitentiary. Either a Lynch or a Morris
administration would use the whitewash brush. Why? Simply becauso
tho guilty ones arc "in the church."
The Mormon taxpayer, as well as the Gentile taxpayer, is robbed,
and the criminals are unmolested.
The burden of taxation is heavy enough when public funds aro
economically expended. More than 550,000 was stolen from Salt Lake
county during the pnst three years. But the whitewash brush was used.
The chances are half that much has been stolen from Salt Lake City with
in the past twelvo months.
An American party victory will do more for Salt Lake than to precipi
tate a boom. It will develop another Eolk.
Stick a pin here and watch.

l HENRY IRVING
DIESJIIIENH
Distinguished Actor Passes
Away When on Tour of
Provinces.
PLAYED LAST NIGHT IN
TENNYSON'S "BECKET"
Seized With Attack of Syncope
Upon Returning to His
Hotel.
LONDON, ,Oct. 13. The English-speaking
world has suffered an Irreparable loss
by the sudden death tonight of Sir Henry
Irving, who was universally regarded as
iho most representative English actor of
contemporary times.
Dies Literally in Harness.
Sir Henry died literally In harness. He
was giving a series of farewell perform
ances In tho English provinces, and this
week was playing an engagement at
Bradford, appearing in soveral favorite
roles. Thursday ho presented "King
Reno's Daughter" and "Tho Bolls," and
appeared to be in excellent health, taking
the exhausting part of Matthias In the
latter play with all tho vigor of youth.
Tonight, before an enthusiastic audience,
he portrayed one of his most characteris
tically Intellectual parts, tlio tltlo rolo in
his own stage adaptation of Lord Tenny
son's "Docket," with marked success.
Siezcd With Syncope.
After tho performance Sir Henry re
turned to tho hotel, reaching his rooms
at 11-30 o'clock, when It was observed
that ho was In great pain. Physicians
wero Immediately summoned, but beforo
they could arrive Sir Henry' was seized
with an attack of syncope and expired
within a few minutes, without having ut
tered a word, In the presence of Bram
Slocker. who had been his immediate
manager for many years, and a few other
Intimate friends. Tho event caused tho
greatest pain and consternation among
the members of tho company.
The Associated Press tonight received
tho following telegram from Mr Stocker:
Message From Manager.
"Very terrible nows: Sir Henry Irving
had an attack of syncope after returning
from the theater to tho hotel tonight and
died Instantly."
To tho last moment of his life Sir
Henry lrvlng's heart was In the work to
which he had devoted his career the rais
ing of the standard of his art On
Wednesday ho was entertained at lunch
eon In the Bradford town hall, at which
the Mayor presented him an nddrcss
from his admirers.
Defends True Drama.
In replying to tho address, Sir Henry
spoko of hlniBelf as one the sands of
, whoso llt'o were fast running out, but no
one then present had tho slightest Idea
that tho end would como so soon. He
proceeded In his reply to clonuontly ad
vocate tho establishment of theaters by
municipalities, "Because," ho said, "I be
lieve that by this means the standard of
the true drama, as distinguished from
miscellaneous entertainments, would bo
successfully upheld.
Instrument of Good or I1L
"Money Is spent like water for all kinds
of philanthropic and educational objects."
he continued, "but who umong you ever
dreams of endowing tho theater? I am
sure the lime will come when you will re
gard the theater as necessary to a liberal
education, and be prepaied to consider
any reasonable suggestions for tho exten
sion of Ita legitimate lntluence. It may
be that In years to como our countrymen
will scarcely understand how. In our
times, so potent an Instrument of good or
III as the stage was left entirely outside
tho sphere of public administration."
Last Appearance in London.
Sir Henry's last appearanco In London
was made last summer, following his
serious Illness, when tho enthusiasm at
the nightly runs accorded him In tho his
toric Drury theater will long be remem
bered. Slnco then ho has been engaged In
touring the provinces und contemplated
ar other visit to tho United States.
LOOKED FORWARD TO VISIT TJ. S.
Intended to Make Farewell Tour Next

"WASHINGTON. Oct. 13. "Sir Henry
Irving was looidng forward with much en
thusiasm to his coming to the United
States." said Charles Frohman, his man
ager, In speaking of the distinguished
English actor tonight. "Ho liked the
Americans,'' continued Mr. Frohman,
"and ho had many friends among them.
It was Mr. Irving s Intention to come to
the United States probably two months
In ndvanco of tho time for tho opening
of hl3 season In tho latter part of next
October, and spend the tlmo In visiting
among them. His season was to cover a
porlod of twenty playing weeks, extend
ing over a largo part of the United States
and was to terminate at tho Knicker
bocker theater In New York City.
Was to Be His Farewell.
"It was to be Mr. lrvlng's farewell ap

American people Following his last ap
pearanco In Now York about the last of
February he was to bo entertained at a
breakfast at which well-known people
from New York. Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington and other cities were to be

H Crane's production hero of "The
American Lord" when ho was Informed of
tho denth of Sir llonry "Tho. news Is a
great shock to me." said Mr. Frohman.
"I havo known Sir Henry vory well for
a long time, and tho last three tours of
the United States which he made were
under my direction.
Had Bean Here Nine Times.
"Previous to these tour3 Sir Henry had

CENSURES THE CONFERENCE
Jewish Divine Speaks on Exclusion of
Unitarians.
PORTLAND. Or., Oct. 13. Rev. Stephen
S. Wise. D. D.. of Temple Beth Israel, of
Portland, a prominent Jewish divine. In
a sermon to the congregation tonight,
censured severely the action of tho ex
octttlvo committee of tho Inter-Church
Conference on Federation In excluding the
American Unitarian association from the
forthcoming conference lamenting what
he termed the "unenlightened and lntol
ciant decision," he advised that the pro
posed conference. Instead of choosing Its
nigh-sounding tltlo, "havo tho courage and
candor to call Itself by Its right name,
the sectional division of trlnltarlan or
trltclstlc churches."
What Jesus Said.
Br. Wise went on to say that Jesus said
to the scribe who had dellnod the essence
of religion to bo the belief In ono God,
coupled with the love of God and the lovo
of man, "Thou art not so far from tho
kingdom of God." "What answer would
the conference, which Is made up of tho
disciples of Jesus, make to Edward Ever
ett Hale, who bollevcs In one God. who
loves God with all his heart, and who
loves his neighbor as himself?"
Warns the Churches.
Tho rabbi warned the churches that
thoy "can 111 afford to sacrltlco the last
vestige of their waning moral lnllucnco
by adopting this madly, fatally dlvlslvo
policy In the faco of tremendous Issues
of moral llfo or death. He concluded
by suggesting that every hlgh-soulcd re
ligionist act as did William Lloyd Garri
son In 1810. when ho refused to servo In
tho London Anti-Slavery convention on
finding that women wero excluded from
Its deliberations.

PARIS, Oct. 13. Tho French Govern-v
mcnt continues silent concerning tho al- , IH
Ic-gcd revelation of Great Britain's offer o
of naval and military aid to France If
Germany assumed a belligerent attitude
over Morocco. In the meantime the news-
papers add new phases to the disclosures.
Tlio Figaro gives a detailed version, e(''cn
moro sensational than the previous al-
leged disclosures of tho Matin. It says
that the previous report of Great Britain
offering to mobilize her navy and' land jH
British troops In Germany Is not correct.
but that the actual occurrence Is alout IH
us follows: 1 IH
Made Distinct Overtures.
Beforo the Moroccan crisis became lH
acute the British Government made three jH
distinct overtures to learn if France '.was H
disposed to conclude a treaty of defensive r
alliance. Franco declined to consider the
question. Later, when the Moroccan i H
crisis became acute. Paul Cambon, the IH
French Embassador to Great Britain, re- I
opened the question and obtained a verbal i
assurance from Foreign Secretary Laps- iH
downe of Great Britain's effective con- ' IH
ccurso In tho event of a conflagration. I IH
Would Roiterato Assurance. f
M. Cambon was thereupon able to ap- IH
swer M. Delcassc. who was then Foreign jH
Minister, that If a "casus for ederls" jH
(case coming within a treaty) was duslrcd.
Great Britain would reiterate her assur- IH
ancc In writing. The German Embassa- IH
dor In London, Count Wolff-Metternlch.
learned of these assurances and Informed
Berlin.
Kaiser's Counter Move.
Emperor "William decided on a countor
move and made Italy the medium of its
execution. He Informed Italy that any J IH
treaty whereby Great Britain gave n IH
Franco military support relative to Mo- IH
rbeco would constitute a casus belli. ,
The FlKaro asserts that this amounted I IH
to an Indirect ultimatum and that the IH
Italian Government communicated tho ll
situation to M. Berrerc, the French Em- UH
bassador to Italy, who Informed Paris
June
Violent Cabinet Scene. lll
Immediately thereafter M. Dclcasse re- I IH
signed (June C), as the result of a vlolep.t tH
scene In a Cabinet council. During this IH
council M. Delcassc Is alleged to haver t . fll
said: "I have a formal assurance of Grcfat IH
Britain's support." :
Said It Meant War. ' IH
Premier Rouvicr Is represented as an- J
swering: "And I havo M. Morrero's tele- H
gram proving that this means war if we IH
continue our policy. I refuse to Indorse Ill
what you seem to treat so-lightly." Jl
The other Ministers aro said to have Dl
upheld M. Rouvler, whereupon M. Del- IH
casse resigned. IH
Tho foregoing version Is chlelly Import- iB
ant In the allegation that Great Britain ) IH
sought for and promised a military de- IH
fcnslve alliance ngulnst Germany. IH
Is Scuii-Ofiicially Denied.-
Later a semi-official note was Issued. H
saying that the published reports upon H
tho Incidents accompanying thu Teslgna
tlon of M Dclcasse, and notably the dc-
tails regarding the Cabinet council H
preceding the resignation, are incorrect. H
The issuance of this denial steadied -H
prices on the bourse, which showed un- H
easiness over the situation. H

COLOGNE. Oct. 13. The Cologne Ga- IH
zette prints another spirited dispatch from i jH
Berlin apropos of the Figaro's denial to H
the Matin's story, which can only be In- H
terpreted as a plain hint to the British H
Government to expect Its rolo In the mat- H
ter. The dispatch notes that while the H
Matin's version which gave groupd for IH
the assumption that the suggested alii- H
ancc of France and Great Britain against fM
Germany had an ofllclal character the IH
Figaro h version confirms this assumption jl
bv giving tho names of the parlies, and jH
says that this makes the caso against IH
M. Delcassc all tho Btronscr. Tho men- VM
tlon of the name of Lord Lansdowno, the H
British Foreign Secretary, in connection H
with the matter sheds upon the story an H
embarrassing light for Great Britain, ac- H
cording to the dispatch. jH
Shaping- Policy for War. JH
The writer goes on to say that the fall H
of Delcassc, who occupied a position of H
exceptional strength In the French Cabl- H
net beebmes comprehensible In view of H
the gravity of the revelations ulrcady H
made. If the Matin and the Figaro aro In
the right, the dispatch says, Dclcasse. nf- H
ter having reached an understanding with H
Gtxat Britain, wis shaping his policy for IB
war with Germany, and when a question IH
of such Importance Is once roiscd It can- IH
not remain unanswered or unsolved. IH
Explanations Are Absent.
The dispatch goes on to point out that H
nollher tho British nor the French Gov- m
crnment nas hitherto shown a dlsposl- H
tlon to come forward with explanations. H
while the seml-ofllelnl note regarding tho B
matter Issued In 1'aris today Is made- , JH
nuato and calculated rather to Increase jH
than to allay suspicion. H
