A movement is on foot to secure for
Salt Lake a free library, which, if
the desire of the promoters is fulfilled,
will give the city a public library that
will be credit to the community.
The plan originated a year ago, when
a bill was passed by. the legislature to
provide a means by which cities may
obtain free libraries. The act empowers
city councils of cities of the first class
to levy a tax not to exceed one-third of
mill on the taxable property of the
city, to be used for library purposes,
upon being presented with petition
for the same by not less than 1000
property taxpayers resident in the city.
After the passage of the act nothing
was done in the matter for some time,
but the promoters have again taken It
up and are trying to put the original
plan into effect. The plan is, first, to
donate the Pioneer library to the city
w Inducing the stockholders to con-
tribute their holdings and then petition
the city council to levy the tax in ac-
cordance with the act referred to.
The people behind the movement are
the members OF the Ladies Literary
society, the Woman'S club and the
Cleofan club. The ladies have secured
a large amount of the stock in the
Pioneer library, which has been con-
tributed to by all classes of holders,
and the ladies are now directing their
efforts toward inducing the Masons TO
contribute the 500 shares held by the
order. They have thus far met with
such success as to warrant them in
going ahead with their petition to the
council, and are now circulating the
following for signatures:
we, your petitioners, property owners
and taxpayers of Salt Lake City. re-
specially petition your honorab bic body
for the levy of a tax of one-third of one
mill for the maintenance of a free pub
lie library in accordance with the pro-
visions of the act of the recent legisla-
ture known as the Glen Miller Library
Bill" it being the understanding that
the Pioneer library of this city will be
given to the city for the purpose of
bringing it under the provisions of the
az
Already over 500 signatures have been
secured and the ladies expect to have
the required number by the time they
are certain as to whether the Pioneer
library will be donated.
From the ladies point of view the
plan is an admirable one The city
mas 10 cubic library except the Pho
neer, and though the mem bership fee
is small there are many people who are
unable to avail themselves of its ad-
vantages. 1t has run down very fast
in the last year or two and the librarian
has received no remuneration, or prac-
tically none, for over year. The Ii
brary has some 5000 volumes, which
would form a nucleus to d free library,
which, aided by the $4,000 and a little
more which the library tax would af-
ford would soon give Salt Lake an
institution free to every citizen that
would be a credit to any city.
The ladies are enthusiastic over the
encourag cement they are meeting and
hope to accomplish the fulEllment of
their plans before many more weeks
have gone by.

Boys Overcoats ard
Refers.

Boys from three to fourteen years are
apt to be very hard on Overcoats. We
sell the good kind, the kind that will
stand the hardest kind of wear. and
what is more, we combine style with
these good wearing qualities. We do
not claim our Cape Overcoats at s15O
are tailored or lined as well as the $3.50
ones, but we do claim a great deal for
the Cape Overcoats at 81. $3.50 and So.
They are all wool, made very nobby,
braided and fixed up to give the Over
coats a style and finish. You might
pay $3.50 for an Overcoat, but it is
question if you could find anything
that would wear better or look more
stylish.

DID NOT FOUL SHARKEY
ACCORDING TO THE SAILORS TRAIN
ER, FITZsIMMONs FOUGHT FAIR.
More Evidence Tending to Show the
Decision I'm the Recent Fight
Was the Result of a Plot.

SAN FRANCISCO Dec. 10-The evidence
in the Fftzsimmons-Sharkey case to-day
was along the lines of the testimony pre-
viously given. George Allen, Sharkey's
second and assistant trainer, was the prin-
cipaI witness to-day, his evidence corrobo-
rating in the main the testimony given by
Australian Billy Smith.
On cross-exa mination Allen admitted that
Sharkey, after the fight, gave no external
evidence of injuries in the groin. and asked
for water when taken to his dressing ROOM
and when the water was brought directed
Allen to bathe his groin. Allen considered
that Sharkey had been fairly knocked out
by Fitzsimmons, and he declares that no
foul blow was struck by Fitzsimmons. He
was so impressed by the fact that Sharkey
was knocked out that after the sailor had
been down six seconds he started to throw
up his towel TO indicate Sharkey's surren-
der. Allen says he helped carry Sharkey
into the dressing room from which all but
Sharkey. Lynch and the trainers were ex-
cluded. In the dressing room Sharkey was
carefully examined and witness was posi-
tive he was at that time uninjured in the
groin. After Sharkey was taken TO his ho-
tel and the trainers were excluded from
Sharkey's room Lynch. Danny Needham
and DR.. Lee were alone with Sharkey.
DhOitIy oltoi Wdiu, lIOHl Ills pOSlllOn OUT
side the room, witness said he heard Shar-
key cry out as if in pain. When he next
saw Sharkey, on the following day, his
groin was bandaged and there were stains
OF blood on the groin. He applied fomenta-
tions TO the groin, which was then swollen
and discolored. No doctor was permitted
to examine Sharkey in the dressing room
Immediately after the fight, although sew
eral including the physician of the Ma
tional Athletic Club, applied for admit
tance and rendered their services. Accord
ing to the witness, Lynch said: we want
no doctor here" Witness, on cross-exam-
ination, reiterated his positive statement
that no foul blow was struck and that the
only injuries Sharkey received during the
fight were on his head and face.
William Abbott, a saloon keeper, testified
that during the fight he had sat close to
the ring and that when Sharkey was
knocked out he had assisted Smith and
Allen 10 carry Sharkey to the dressing
room. He corroborated the statements Of
Smith and Allen that Sharkey had not been
fouled, and said that Sharkey gave no evil
dence of having been fouled. His testimony
regarding the absence of foul of any
marks on Sharkeys groin when carried
from the ring was corroborative of that of
the previous witnesses. A recess was then
taken until Monday.
In the Police Court to-day Referee carp
was fined $o0 for carrying a pistol to the
ring on the night of the fight.
