Ante Room Echoes

Returning members Of the Benevolent
and Protective Order Of Elks, with charao-
%teristic charity, refrain from commenting
on the Inflated prices they went against in
Salt Lake City, but Salt Lake papers are
outspoken in denouneing the shameful ex-
tortlon to which the visitors we're sub
jected. The Salt Lake Herald says;
While there is an excellent excuse for
the high prices that prevailed In some
Is designated IN the west as grating. e"
This was particularly noticeable among
the saloons and cheap restaurants. Some
Of these people betrayed a cupidity In
handling strangers that Is deserving Of
severest censure. One man purchased
a $40 bill. The bartender put II In his
pocket and the stranger, after waiting
some time, asked for his change. The
bartender refused to surrender the change
until he ives threatened with arrest.
II is q fact hat where some of the sa-
the customer, they did so. The cheap
hash houses, which deal only I'm the sta
pies, advanced the price of everything,
and the Salt Laker who was not familiar
with the groun was the victim OF this
avarice as often as the stranger. II the
had been a real bird 1t would have been
s~trangled.
Some OF the visitors have been out
spoken in their criticism of the treatment
they received and a few more exhibitions
of this kind would settle for all time the
In which to hold conventions. In the
present case 1t Is probable hat the city
will rave to suffer for the cupidity Of a
few.

WON'T STAGE MOLINEUX PLAYS
Ills Father OBJECTS to n Glands Theatrical
Plans.

Gen. Molineux said yesterday that il
his counsel prevailed the plays written
by his son Roland while the latter was in
prison would not b. produced on the stage,
nor would the book of short stories written
under the same conditions I've published.
II Is understood that AZ one time Molineux
was quite DESTROYS. if his work as an author
proved TO he acceptable, that it should
be- presented 10 the public. |, was for
this reason that the plays were given to a
man with a knowledge Of such things to
see what could he done with them.
Since his release, however. his fat her
has opposed any such disposition of them,
and he said yesterday he was quite sure
his son had no desire to antagonize his
wishes. The book Of short stories has
never been offered to any publishers and
Is still in Molineux's hands.
One OF Molineuxs friends said yesterday
that If tho young man had asked To have
his work shown 10 persons who could de-
eide upon its merit and dispose OF it. It
was only with view OF partly reimbursing

A. NJ and he had been excused from service
On receiving the notice later he came
down to the City Court and tried TO explain
matters to Justice Hascall. but the latter.

He served week as a juryman and worked
