MURDERED FOR MONEY.
Omcer of Utah Lumber Company
Killed and Body Buried.

SALT LAKE, Utah. Dec. 1S.-The body of
James B. Hay, secretary OF the Pacific
Lumber Company. was found buried to-
day in a shallow trench alongside the Rin
Grande tracks near Sixth and Thirteenth
streets.
Monday night Hay called at the home of
Peter Mortensen, a contractor, living at
2210 Walnut avenue, and collected $500
which Mortensen owed the Pacific Lumber
Company. He gave a receipt to Mortensen
and left the latter's house with the re-
mark that he was going to take the money
to Manager G.. +. Romney, of the lumber
company. Since that time nothing had been
seen or heard of Hay until to-day, when
his body was found. The money was gone
and In the back of Hays head was a great
Jagged wound. 1t is the theory of the po-
lice that someone saw Hay receive the
money from Mortensen, followed him when
he left the house and murdered him and
buried the body in the hastily-dug grave.
Hay was thirty-one years old, was prom
inent in Mormon church work and was
implicitly trusted by his employers He
came to Salt Lake from Australia several
years ago.
Peter Mortensen, the contractor who paid
young Hay the money Monday night, was
arrested this afternoon on suspicion of be-
ing connected with the murder. Morten-

infdynation in regard TO the location of the
body. He denies all knowledge of the

progress peculiar to such brain and nervous
troubles. He is afflicted with one of the
forms of softening of the brain. A great

Newfoundland People Are with the In

Edison Praises MarcOni.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., Dec. 1S.-Marconi is
to-day awaiting a cable message from
London announcing the result Of the nego-
tiations between his agents and the Anglo
American Cable Company. The inventor
fears the latter will insist that he must
not engage In commercial business here
until after the expiration of the company's
monopoly. Marconi is not disposed to agree
to such condition, believing he can per-
feet means for signaling between Corn
wall and Nova Scotia within few months.
He has now practically decided to visit
Nova Scotia on Sunday. but this does not
necessarily mean that he will abandon
Newfoundland on account of the Anglo
American Company.
Superintendent Mackey, manager Of the
Anglo-American Company in this colony,
denies that he protested to Governor Boyle
yesterday against the latter visiting the
Marconi station. Mr.. Mackey admits call
ing upon the Governor, but says the call
was purely social one, and that as TO
Marconis affairs nothing in the nature
of a protest transpired.
There are few developments in the stua-
tion to-day. The status of the London ne
2otiati tions is not known. Marconi has de-
cided to leave here next Sunday. All of
the newspapers condemn the Anglo-Amer-
lean Company, and some of their criticisms
in the premises are extremely severe.
while all are very vigorous. Public feel
ing in this matter is now at its height.
Governor Boyle will give Mr.. Marconi a
lunch. The guests will include the men,
bers of the Newfoundland Cabinet, the
bank managers and the leading merchants
of st. Johns, the local editors and the
newspaper correspondents now here. He
will be dined by the City Club tomorrow
night, when all the prominent citizens of
st. Johns will be present. Tonight Mr..
Marconi is dining with Mr.. Harvey, a
Cabinet minister and prominent merchant,
and number of influential citizens.
