Chief Of Police Thomas II. Hilton has
resigned The letter announcing this
was directed TO the Mayor and City
Council, and was delivered 10 the
Mayor about $3.50 o'clock last evening.
Members Of the city Council committee
on police and others were notified and
during the sessions Of the Council a
copy of the document that had been
placed In the Mayors hand was filed
with the city recorder out Of courtesy
to the Mayor, who was given the first
opportunity to make public the fact,
there was no announcement Of the
resignation IN the Council II was whis-
pered around quietly that the Mayor
had refused to accept the resignation,
Whether or not the Council will make
formal acceptance Is not known.
There the matter stands FOR the present,
The document presented by chief
Hilton IL In the usual form OF such "a

asks to be relieved without delay There
are three ways of writing "A resignation,
one Is to make It effective at once, 'and
Is the form adopted by retiring officials

other is by setting certain date, when
a successor can be reasonably expected
to be heady to take charge on the day
named.N The third and most generally
accepted form is to have i effective on
the appointment and qualification Of q
successor. This gives the appointiye
power full freedom to act, and nsures
that the retiring officer viii De on hand

tesy and give him necessary Informal
ton, This is what Chief Hilton has

lows:

will be several hundred Pullmans In The
yards during the week wherein the vlsi-
tors may sleep and make their head

There will be tropical times at the
special meeting Of the Elks tonight
over the prominent publication In The
Herald this morning OF scare-head
line story to the effect that Salt Lake
may lose the convention of grand lodges
next August. and the gathering be
turned over to some other city.
The Louisville transportation COM
mittee were perhaps the most surprised
Of any. The first thing they knew Of
the tale was when they were at the
Rio Grande Western depot prior TO
boarding the train for Colorado
Springs. No time was 20 be lost so,
sitting down right there they composed
and signed the following letter:

Dear Sir and Brother-We regret ex-
ceedingly to note the article In the Salt
Lake Herald Of Feb. II, relative to the
matter Of the Elks reunion TO be held
in your beautiful city, August next. We
fear that the article may be miscon-
strued by many Of the good brothers
throughout the country, whom We know
are contemplating the journey TO Salt
Lake City IN large numbers. The arti-
Gle is unfair to your city and your lodge,
The committee from Louisville arrived
here Sunday morning last, have been
treated most kindly and considerably
by the members OF your lodge and the
many good people with whom we have
come In contact, and had business deal
ings. The hotels particularly have been
exceedingly kind to us. We see no
reason why Salt Lake city should not
he able TO accommodate and entertain
the largest gathering OF Elks ever held
In this country We leave for home
this morning, feeling that we have
made the best arrangements for Louis
vile lodge that has ever been accom-
plished az any of the former reunions
OF the order, and we feel confident that
other lodges will be able TO accomplish
the same
We want TO say 20 you, that the peo-
pie Of Salt Lack city are OF hospitable
nature. and those who visit your city
viii leave II with nothing but praise,
with best wishes, and our assurance
of hearty cooperation, we remain,
