lars Raised By Hustlers.
MEETING OF COMMITTEE
MANY BIG CONCERNS TO BE
HEARD FROM.
No Difficulty Will Be Encountered In
Increasing the Subscriptions to
S25, O-Stockholders to Meet
For Election of Oficers-Mr.
Schenck's Liberality.

!
held in the Salt Lake mining exchange
chamber last night. Reports were re-
ceived showing total subscriptions of
$4,000, leaving only 81, $50 to be raised
in order to make all contributions bind
ing. All of them were made subject to
the condition that S25, 900 be subscr:b-
ed.
No difficulty whatever is anticipated
in raising the balance. The railroads,
the street car lines and several OF the
most prominent of Salt Lakes bankers
and capitalists are yet to be heard
from. 1t is confidently expected that
| they will plank down far more than
enough to cover the minimum limit.
Last nights meeting was called to
order by Chairman S. H. Hill. He
| briefly explained that the purpose of
| the gathering was to hear reports as to
! additional contributions since the last
meeting.
George Mueller and A. Fisher each
reported $50 added to their lists, max
ing the grand total $4,000.
Chairman Hill explained that the
miners, the railways of all classes, the
bankers and capitalists were yet to be
heard from.
Continuing, Mr.. Hill said that Archi-
tect Kletting was now on his way
home from Chicago, and that imme-
diately upon his arrival he would re-
sumo work on the Salt Palace PLANS.
He announced that a general stockhold-
ers' meeting for the purpose of electing
permanent officers would be held next
Tuesday night.
Mr.. Hill suggested that all subscrib-
contributions before that time, in order
to Become bona fide stockholders. He
urged the necessity for large attend
ance, and for the election of the best
possible men to serve the association.
Here w. a. Nelden interrupted with q
suggestion that the subscribers be as
sured that if anything prevented the
carrying out of the present plans they
would be refunded all money paid IN.
Mr.. Hill vigorously resented the if
part of Mr.. Nelden's talk. He said he
had never yet conceded any ''if'' about
the building of the Salt Palace. All
along he had contended that failure
would be impossible, but in order to
thoroughly satisfy all hands he was
willing to adopt Mr.. Nelden's idea.
In reply, Mr.. Nelden said his eff was
misunderstood. II thoroughly believe
the Salt Palace will be built" he added.
'and will increase my subscription if it
should become necessary"
Secretary Mcdaniel got the floor next
to tell of a conversation he had had
with jeremiah Schenck. He said Mr..
Schenck had paid in one contribution
of 81 600 When he filled out the check
he told Mr.. Mcdaniel: 'If you need any
more money, call on me-
The secretary talked further about
his end of the business. He said he
had received requests from eastern pa
pers for data about the Palace, and he
thought many columns of free advertis-
ing would be given it.
George Mueller deprecated the lack
of interest shown by some members of
the committee of one hundred. He de-
clared that their places should be
filled bv active hustlers who would
keep everlastingly at it until the Salt
Palace is built and opened. The meet
ing adjourned shortly after o'clock,
with all of those present pledged to
continue their labors with renewed en-
ergy.
