aboard, however, and all her baggage
was on the5 steamers deck.

tectives did not dare break in the
ca bin.
About half an hour before the Cam
pania sailed. Mr.. Hanna left the ship
and the dock in a cab, accompanied by
a Cleveland attorney.

LEAGUE DAY AT sALTAIR.
Five Thousand Visitors Went Out to
the Resort

the Resort.
Yesterday was Epworth- League day
at saltair. a majority of the visitors
going direct TO the resort 1t was d
matter of establishment for the at
taches Of Saltair, but the visitors had
a good time without any OF the Access
sOTies that are usually considered in
dispensible. The shooting gallery was
ignored, the meTTy-gO-rOund was boy
cotted, the dancing floor was deserted,
likewise the barrOOm.
The Leaguers to the number of 5000
enjoyed themselves in bathing and
asking questions. Indulgence in the
former pastime was limited by the lack
Of dressing rooms, but the latter was
free TO all The members of the enter
tainme1t cOmmittee, with Miss Annie
Price at their head, did their best to
imIart knowledge.
AS every visitor was eager to enter
the lake, as every bather stayed the
limit and as there are only 200 dress
ing rooms, the crush around the bath
ticket Office was terrific throughout the
afternoon. Special officer Smith
begged, pleaded and even used his
hands in an EFFORT to relieve he pres
sure, but with poor success.
Those who succeeded in procuring
suits We're delighted with the expert
ence. A lady was so pleased with her
first plunge in the briny that she car
ried her 12-mOnths-Old infant in with
her and s0used its tiny form in the
rolling pillows.
Although defeated in their attempts
to have the bar closed for the day the
committee in charge did not abandon
the field, and the baTtenders announced
the poorest days business for many
weeks.
At an early stage of the proceedings
the orchestra on the dancing floor was
requested to play nothing but sacred
music The petition was not complied
with. waltzes and other worldly airs
forming the programme. One of the
committee char tablX sUTmised that
the musicians mad never heard anE
sacred music and didn't know the dif-
ference
There was no dancing until about 8
O'Clock Then a half dozen couples ap-
peared on the floor. A court of inquiry
was promptly formed and, to the relief
of the League. il was established that
the frivolous walters were rank out
siders from the city. But the band
was discouraged and quit.
With the exception of the struggle
for bathing tickets everything was or
Derby The only incident that bordered
on the sensational occurred on the 1890
train when two Kansas ladies an
nounced that they had been robbed
of their purses. containing all their
wealth and their through tickets as
well. The loss was not reported TO the
pavilion constable
The return to the city began earlier
thzn is usual with Saltair crowds and
every returning train from o'clock
had its full quota Of passengers.

Miss J. w. StoIburg. a visitor. from
the east, reported TO the police early
this morning that her purse, contain
ing about 500 in cash. had been lost in

been stolen. but that she had dropped
it somewhere. Miss StOlburg is stay

The sOuthsrners had telegraphed for

offered the alternative of trip TO Og-
den or an an-night search for accom-
mOdauOns.
The EpwOrth League general head
quarters at the First Methodist church
were jamme ID during the greater part
of the day. The committee members
kept the headquarters open from early
morning until after midnight many
