MAY QUEEN CROWNED
NOrWay's National Day Is ceIe-
brated by Former Residents
of That Country.

Norway's Fourth Of July occurred
yesterday, and was fittingly celebrated
last night by all the Norwegians in the
city. The gathering at Christensen s.,
in blaze Of glory, and the splendid
programme carried out was, TO say the
least, a demonstration of patriotism
rarely excelled. The hall was com
fortably filed by the crowd. The dec
orations consisted of Norwegian and
American flags and a red, white and
blue illumination.
Mr.. ChristOpherson, master Of cere-
monies, delivered an address Of vel
come, and this was followed by the
browning of the May queen, Miss Ogot
Randy. The young woman made a
beautiful appearance in her court gown
Of white She was introduced by Mr..
ChristophersOn. who then crowned her
queen in the name Of Harold Hairfair.
the old Norwegian king, and the Nor
wegian citizens Of Salt Lake. The
queen was attended by Misses J. Noon,
Carrie Moon. Teenie Anderson, Birdie
Anderson and Maggie Anderson.
After the coronation, Judge c. NJ.
Nielsen delivered the address Of the
evening on the subject of Norway
Independence" He briefly outlined
the events that LED up to the Eidsvold
congress eighty-eight years ago, where
a declaration OF independence and the
constitution Of Norway were formulat-
ed. The judge gave an interesting de-
scriptiOn of the political situation at
that period. In another part Of his
address, he said:
While we cherish the memories of
the land Of our nativity, there is no
country in the world so dear to US as
the United States of America. This
land we freely selected as our future
home. Here we are raising our fam
lilies; here we desire to live, and here
we expect TO die. But Of all other coun-
tries, there is none which SO appeals
to us as the little country of Norway,
and in reading the history Of our fore
fathers and their struggle for freedom,
we cannot but feel proud of our an
cestors"
J. r. Matson spoke on 'Norwegians
in America"
The musical part OF the programme
included quartette numbers, vocal
solos by Mrs. Emma Sanders and Mrs.
Agnes Olsen Thomas, a violin solo by
Professor Weihe, a baritone solo by
John Erickson, a piano solo by Miss
Nettie Olsen and the singing Of Amer
lea" by the entire assemblage. Dan
cling concluded the evening.

It has been quite generally thought
that on account of the mountain
ranges surrounding the valleys, the
scientific kite could not be successfully
used in the west. This theory has been
dispelled the last two weeks by a dis
play made each day from the roof Of
The Herald building.
Large cloth kites, I'VE feet in height,
built on scientific principles, have been
sent up singly and in tandem, and not
only do they fly well but the carrying
capacity Of the kites is as great as in
many eastern states noted for steady
and strong winds and where such kites
are put TO many uses. such as in send
ing lines to shipwrecks, in fishing,
wireless telegraphy, midair photog-
raphy, etc.
A large American flag and a number
Of banners, some over fifty feet long,
were carried high in the air, where
they told the advertising stories Of sew
eral progressive firms to the crowds
Of people on the streets.
Mr.. J. Frank Pickering, the advertis-
ing artist, and an expert in the use of
scientific kites. has been in charge of

CONFESSED TO
OGDEN MURDER
Thugs in County Jail Said to
Have Admitted Crime.
ROBBED AND KILLED CHINESE
DEATH PENALTY IN SIGHT FOR
YOUNG AND BROWN.

A cCORDING to the statements Of
| Il the county officers, Young and
Brown, the two desperadoes who
/ were captured in this city after shoot
ing Walter Clawson, have confessed
that they murdered the Chinaman who
was robbed and killed in Ogden a short
time ago. Sheriff NaylOr states that
the two men confessed the whole thing
| to fellow prisoner, and attempted to
get that prisoner to provide them
means of escape. The thugs have not
/ yet confessed directly to the officers,
/ but the latter say there IS no question
as to the truth of the statements Of
the prisoner who told of the confess
sion.
The confession was made yesterday
morning. but the name of the prisoner
to whom it was made the officers would
not divulge. According to the state
| ments Of this man, Young told him
/ that he and Brown did the deed. and,
/ after doing il, came back to this city,
/ where they had been just before the
hold-up and murder.
According to the prisoners story,
/ Young wanted him to see a person who
is now in town and have this person
/ provide them with saws to cut their
way out OF the Ogden jail, if they were
| taken there, He is said to have told
in his confession that he realized it
was a certain thing that he would hang
| for the murder if he did not make his
! escape in some way.
Told the Sheriff.
The prisoner, after receiving the con-
/ fessiOn. instead of doing as be had
been asked. promptly reported the mat
/ ter to Sheriff Naylor. The latter has
not yet questioned Brown or Young
about the confession, but he says he
is convinced Of the truth Of the admis-
sion.
Sheriff NaylOr stated that they had
found that Young and Brown pur-
! chased guns at the Salt Lake Hardware
I cOmpany's store just before the hold
up in Ogden and also purchased the
/ saws which were later found on them.
/ The clerk who sold them the material
positively identified the purchasers.
/ Sheriff Layne. Detective Pender ana
Chief Of Police Browning of Ogden
1 were in the city yesterday and Wis
tied the prisoners at the jail. They
| were told of the confession made by
Young. and viii return to the city Mon
Gay with two Cinnamon, who viii, it
is said, be able to identity the prison
ers. Before the officers left last night
they took a diagram of the shoes Of
Young and Brown, to compare with the
tracks found near the Chinaman's
house.

MAJ. Cox, of the British Indian army,
publishes some rather interesting criticisms
of the troops as he saw them before Pekin.
He does not approve of the American Eek
tended Order" saying that the men are
too apt ito bunch under fire." To this
he ascribas our comparatively heavy loss
before Tientsin. American discipline and
independence he rates higher than those of
any other troops; in the former respect sur
passing even those highly trained auto
nations, the German soldiers. The latter
spend much more time on saluting and
similar nOn-essentials, but they were con-
stantly getting into rows with other COM
mands; fired rifles on picket whenever
they happened to feel like it, which they
often did: and could not be made to OBJ
serve ordinary sanitary precautions, suf-
fering much from typhoid and dysentcry
as result. Maj. Cox also says the Ger
mans were not good cavalrymen, and used
up their horses rapidly. Our commissariat
and cavalry met with the Majors COM
mendatier.
