to the athletic inclined that Coach"
Miller. as the boys call him, has al
ready started the ball rolling for the

cradle interest and have given the as
surance that there will be a team on

anteed to be worthy, as he has in the
past admirably succeeded in instilling
the Spartan" spirit into all under him
for straight and gentlemanly athletics.

what the college might have for the
fair, said that he believed the college
would send an exhibit that would excel
that of last year inasmuch as "a great
deal of exceptionally good work was
done by the students during the year.
The engineering. agricultural and hor-
ticultural exhibits and work of the stu
dents will be well worth seeing. The
past year proved to be a red letter
year for the college and the outlook
for the coming year are brighter than
ever before. The instruction corps has
been increased and the new depart
ment of domestic science, of special
interest to the young ladies of the ter
ritory will be feature of the coming
year.
The work of the experiment station

pie of the territory. The work of irri-
CATION by pumps and of freeing the
soil from alkali has been of special
interest and bulletins are now being
printed covering results and can be
had when published, free, upon re

STREET FAIRS.
EIks Will Drop That Feature Of THeir


Work.
Salt Lake City, Utah., Aug. 1.-THE
grand lodge of Elks today passed a
law absolutely prohibiting the holding
of street fairs or carnivals under Elks
auspices after January /. The law
was made to go into effect on January
1 because a number of lodges through
out the country already have made ar
rangements for fairs or carnivals to
take place in the next few months. The
debate was quite spirited but the feel
ing among members of the grand lodge
that such fairs and carniyals are not
in accord with the fundamental prin-
ciples OF the order evidently is very
strong and the committees recommen-
dation was overwhelmingly adopted.
Considerable routine business was dis
posed of today. The outdoor program
consisted of a prize drill contest of the
uniformed marching clubs. Tonight
the homeward movement will begin.
Washington was selected as the next
meeting place of the Elks.
The prize drill was somewhat dis
appointment, the Denver lodge being
the only one represented, their drill
being given with the snap and pre-
cision of veteran soldiers.

NEW SUSPECT.
Another Man Suspected Of the Bar.
theIin Murder,

Chicago, III, Aug. i4.-Inspector
Hunt, of the Hyde Park police station.
today began systematically to weave
a net of evidence In the mysterious
murder of Mrs. Anne Bartholin and
Minnie Mitchell about Oscar Thomp-
son, who for over twenty years was a
roomer of Mrs. Barthoiin In Calumet
avenue death house. The identity of
the mysterious woman in black who
last night told the Inspector that she
had seen William Bartholin, Oscar
Thompson and old Dad Claffey wrang-
ling over Thompson's laundry wagon
early on the morning of the Mitchell
girls supposed murder, was cleared
up. She is Mrs. Mary Tallerday. To-
day she positively identified the
Thompson wagon and horse as those
she had seen with the men. Ap attempt
to wiring confession from Thompson by
putting him in the sweat box, is ex-
pected to result in a statement that
this horse and wagon was used to con-
vey the body of Minnie Mitchell to the
onely field at Seventy-fourth and State
streets.
For several hours this morning In
spector Hunt tried every possible de-
vice to induce the prisoner to throw
some light on the mystery. All night
stool pigeon stayed in Thompson's
cell, but nothing was learned. The
prisoner paced the cell sleeplessly in
nervous frenzy. In answer to the
inspectors queries today he said he
had no recollection of what he did on
the supposed night of the Mitchell
murder. He remembered having eat
en- supper and feeding the dog the next
morning. The interval, however, was
blank. Thompson, said that Edwards,
one of Mrs. Bartholin's roomers, was a
doctor and might have "doped" him.
Thompson will be put through the
sweating" process again.
The confirmation OF the story told
by Mrs. Tallerday came when d. A.
Myers, a motorman, told the police
that he had seen laundry wagon
where Mrs. Tallerday described il as
being between and 4 o'clock on the
morning following Minnie Mitchell's
death. Myers identified the horse and
wagon as Thompson's. The police say
that he has satisfied them that Min
HE Mitchell was murdered In Bartho-
Inns home and carted away cut on
State street.
