To steal seems to be a mania with
Roy Croxall, who was arrested yester-
day by Detective Janney and charged
with burglary. He is a young man
of highly connected parentage-in fact,
is claimed to be a direct lineal de-
scendant of Brigham Young.
Although he has been surrounded
by many advantages, he seems to be
afflicted with an innate desire to ap-
propriate TO his own use the chattels
of other people. The trait has brought
him into many difficulties and the at
tention of the police department has
been called to his misdoings so often
that he has become quite familiar with
the inside of the city jail.
The hayward youth has a devoted
mother, who lives near the corner of
Second East and Fifth South streets,
who has sought the aid of influential
citizens and secured his pardon on
two former occasions when he was
convicted of stealing, but family con-
nections will hardly suffice to stay the
stern hand of the law in this, his latest,
escapade.
Yesterday morning Detectives Sheets
and Janney received word that a cache
of stolen goods might be located in an
clubhouse on Third South between Sixth
and Seventh East streets, and, proceed-
ing thither, found a set of single har-
ness and the tree and breeching of an
other They also located a witness
who had seen young Croxan carry the
harness there and hide it. They had
not located the young man at noon
when headquarters received a tele-
phonic request for an officer to come
to the store of Nj. A. Walsh on Main
street. Detective Janney responded,
and, reaching the place, he found the
Individual he wanted.
Young CroXall had just attempted to
steal a shotgun and had been caught in
the act by one of the clerks. He en-
tered the store with another young
man, and while the companion was
making a purchase he fell to examin-
ing a number of guns in a rack He
was seen to take one down and look
at it and then put it back. He was
not observed to take another from the
rack, but he did and showed the bar
rel down his pants leg and buttoned
his Overcoat over the stock.
When the pair were leaving the store
Croxall, it was noticed by one of the
clerks, walked stiff-legged. He ran,
but the clerk caught him and, jerking
open the coat, disclosed the gun. Then
another clerk lent a hand. and to-
gether they held him while the station
was telephoned and the officer came.
The owner of the harness has not
yet been found. The police believe it
was stolen Friday night, and say they
have a strong case against Croxall as
being the thief. Two complaints will
be lodged against him. one of burglary
and another of grand larceny. He will
have hearing tomorrow

WORK OF THE STATE SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION.
DIR. Silver. President: j. 4. Smith.
Secretary and c. II. Parsons,
Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee-rroErumme for Today.

Yesterday was the second day of the
State Sunday School convention. over
IS delegates We're present at each meet
ing. The programmes were very in
teresting and were carried out as first
considered. The superintendent con
ference, in charge of Mr.. a. J. Orem,
was a short treatise on the duties of
the superintendent of a Sunday school;
whether he should be a class teacher
or just superintend the general work
The primary teachers conference in
charge OF Mary Z. Berkley, was a short
discussion by the delegates regarding
a model primary teacher: the way she
should try TO enforce her teachings;
the different systems. etc. The nor
nal conference, in charge of Secretary
Smith. was based on the lines Of good
teaching. He held that the only sys-
TEN TO be taught was that system that
recognized Christ as its founder, its
object. as its everything. The kinder
garten conference by Miss Vawter was
practically illustra ted. She had her
class on the platform. and showed how
she taught her pupils. by q lesson be
fore the audience This was very in
teresting. and was highly appreciated.
After the reports of the president
and secretary, the election OF officers
for the ensuing year took place. After
a caucus lasting over an hour, the
dominating committee reported The
report named an entire new set of off
GERS. Somebody moved TO adopt the
report, but DR. T. c. lift made a sub
stitute motion to the effect that the old
officers should hold their places for an
other year. This motion was carried
unanimously. The principal officers

THE SURPLUS CANAL.
CITY AND COUNTY WILL SOON CON-
MENCE ITS CONSTRUCTION.
The Undertaking, Which Is Claimed
to BE Necessity, Will Furnish
Work for 500 Men-OutIine OF the
Plan.

In all probability the city and county,,
jointly, will, before long, commence the
construction of the contemplated sur
plus canal from the Jordan river to the
lake. This will give employment dur
ing a good portion of the winter sea
son for something like 800 men, ana a
large number of teams, thus aIordlng
much relief to many worthy working
men in the city.
Councilman Chris Diehl and lie Pro-
hon of the special committee appointed
by the city council, met with Com
rnissioners Geddes and Christopherson
from the county yesterday, and after
due consideration it was decided to
report favorably on the proposition
The object of the canal is TO drain
all the surplus water out of the Jordan
during high floods. Ever since City
creek, aided by the Jordan river, broke
over its banks last spring and flooded
the western section of the city, it be-
came apparent that something must
be done to prevent its repetition The
city engineer made survey and es-
timated that the cost of proper drain
age ditch would be about $4,000. This
was on the basis of a 60-foot ditch,
calculated 10 carry six feet of water,
and extending from Williams lake,
about seven miles from this city, to
the Great Salt Lake.
The commissioners were called upon
by the city members to stand one-half
of the expense of construction. The
county members thought a 40-fOot ca
nal would be sufficient, but the city
engineer shared not this opinion. and
it was finally decided the county should
bear the cost equally with the city.
If the council ratifies the report of its
committee, work will commence in a
couple of weeks.
The ditch, when completed, is eX-
pected to prevent possibility of floods
in the future. The present canal from
the Jordan to Williams slough is wide
enough, but from that point on the
outlet is inadequate. From Williams
slough to COINS ranch, which was IN
der water a good partE of the early
summer. there is an old ditch about 80
feet wide This Will he widened after
the new canal has been constructed
from COINS ranch to the lake. a dis
lance of six miles. The proposed canal
will empty into the lake short dis
lance north of Saltair.
