RARE MUSICAL TREAT BY THE ROYAL
ITALIAN BAND AT THE TABERNACLE

The audience that assembled at the
tabernacle last night to hear Elleryss
Royal Italian hand in the opening con-
cert of the musical festival had it been
in any other hall, would have been con-
sidered large, but in the vast auditori-
um only part of the seats were -occu-
pied. Those who were fortunate enough
to throw asid other engagements and
attend, listened to the rarest musical
treat that was ever presented To the
people of this city, and were completely
enraptured by the magnificent perform
ance Of that organization of musicians
It was in a word. grand triumph for
the band and Claiming Ellery, who
has, in spite of great financial losses
stood by the combination for the past
three years and is now the poSseSSor,
undoubtedly, of the greatest band in
the United States.
Last year the town heard the same

gymnastics were the principal part of
the show. This year a new conductor

The programme last night opened
with the overture to ''AIignon,' a selec-
ton which introduced a French horn
solo by SignOr Caramel, the same be-
ing a magnificent demonstration of
what can be brought out of a wind in
strument. Then there was a trumpet
solo, Schubert's ''Serenade," by SignOr
Palma, whose tone is like velvet, and
the solo, with the band accompani-

about the acme of music
But the band worked on until the
overture "Ernani" closing the first
part of the programme, was classed as
perfection, and to each of these num-

Rev. z. S. Ufford Delivers an Ad-
dress at Fort Douglas.
The chapel at Fort Douglas was
packed to the doors last night with
Endeavorers and soldiers, who gath
cred there to hear the Rev. E. S. Uf-
ford, composer of that famous song.
Throw Out the Life Line" sing his
hymn. that has become so popular
wherever churches and Sunday schools
are known. Although the place Of
meeting was not definitely decided upon
until yesterday, the chapel could not
accommodate all who gathered there.
and many stood on the outside Just to
listen to the singer.
At first it was supposed that the
meeting would be held in the East Side
Baptist church. but ARRANGEMENTS
could not be made for that place. and
as it was Christian Endeavor night at
the fort, it was decided to invite the
singer to occupy the time at that meet
ing.
After Mr.. Ufford had been introduced
TO the audience he brought forth his
folding organ, which he is CARRYING
with him on his tour around the world.
and the miniature life saving appar-
atus with which he illustrates his song.
To the audience he explained how by
watching life savers at work he had
received the inspiration to write the
song, and explained to them that the
rope which he had, had been used in
saving tweIlty-three lives
In his low, musical voice ne sang
the song as only a composer can sing
his compositions. The audience Joined
in the chorus. Mr.. Ufford goes from
here TO Ogden today and will sing his
song at one of the churches there to-
night.

TURNED POLICE DOWN
Efforts to Compromise Case of
Theft Rejected by WaIten-
spiel, the Victim.

And thou shalt go forth with a
proposition to compromise. for arbi-
tration is far easier than prosecution"
This verse from "PauPs epistle to the
policemen" seems, from the cases that
are being fixed up" by the department,
10 be the first, last and whole ten COM
mandments by which the members of
the police department are to be guided
in their outgoings and shortcomings.
Another instance in which an effort
Is alleged to have been made by the
police to compromise matters, but
which was signal failure, has come
to light. In this case the proposition
is asserted to have been made to T.
c Waltenspiel, the tobacconist at 20
West Second South, who is loser, so he
claims, to a considerable extent as a
result of thu thieving propensities of
some of his former employees.
According to the statement of Walt
enspiel, ne had a man employed who
stole quantity of gold-mounted briar
root pipes and other material, then Gis-
appeared. The case was placed in the
hands of the police about three weeks
ago, but, according to Mr.. Waltenspiel,
the officers apparently made no effort
to get the man or the stuff that he
had stolen.
"One of the policemen came to me
with a recommendation that compro-
mise the matter, as there was insult
hcient evidence TO get out a warrant
and arrest the man. I told him that [
didn't compromise crimes
Mr.. Waltenspiel then took the mat
ter out of the hands of the police and
reported it to a private detective, who
is making an effort to get the thief
and the stolen stuff. 1t is stated that
a complaint will probably be filed in the
case in a day or two by the county
attorney, regardless of the action of
the police

the Associated Press.
Automatic sending of telegraph mes
sages was tried on the Salt Lake cir
cult of the Associated Press for the
first time yesterday afternoon. This
was the initial experiment with the
new apparatus on a long circuit. In
an office in Chicago sat an onerator
clicking away on a keyboard resembling
that Of typewriter. As he pressed
each key. the corresponding letter in
the Morse code was sent auton,afica Nv

a wire extending clear to the Pacific
coast In Denver, over 1000 miles away
in Salt Lake. 1,750 miles distant. and in
San Francisco. nearly 2.75O from the
point of sending, the message was
clicked off
For about an hour the new instru-
nent was used. The experiment was q
success, although the long circuit made
the messages come rather jerkfly. The
speed possible is about the same as can
be made on an ordinary typewriter No
more than sixty TO seventy words a
minute is practicable because of the
limitations in copying at the receiving
end. BY the Use of the operators code
the telegraphic ShOrthand-thls speed
is possible now.
Three of these machines have been
used with success in New York during
the past month but no experiments
were tried on a long circuit The Oper-
ators have two big objections to the
new machines. One is that there is no
individuality in the sending. Operators
under the old method have each a style
of their own. The ecaiving operator who
becomes accustomed to this style can
take the messages more readily than is
possible when sent by machine. The
other objection is that the general
adoption Of the machines viii make IL
easier for the companies to get along
without skilled operators.
