BIG DAY WAS AUERBACH's
Took One Of the Largest Crowds Of the
Season to Saltair.

Auerbach day brought out one OF the
biggest crowds Of the season at saltair
yesterday. In all the returns showed
that there were something like 5000
people al the lake. owing to the fact,
however. that the management had
put on q Fourth OF July tram scheuule
ftr,the occasion the crush was at no
time unpleasant All were transported
to and from the beach without undue
crowdng and discomfort,
The throngs at the beach testified 10
the popularity Of the dry goods house
which gave the excursion. IL seemed as
though nearly every one was there,
with a preponderance OF ladies OF about
a ratio Of Ave TO one. This had no ef-
feet OF marring the pleasure on the
dance floor. Where there we're not
enough gentlemen 60 go round the
ladies' danced In couples to the strains
OF the enlarged orchestra.
The water was delightful 80 that
nearly 1000 bathers went into the lake
ard spent an enjoyable time despite the
somewhat cool breeze that was blow
ing. The water was warmer than the
air.
In addition. 10 the regular feathers
for patrons last night free exhibition
of moving plctGJ'es was instituted for
tho entertainment Of vsitors
The day passed without a single un-
pleasant Incident and the crowds who
returned home on the last train voted
the outing an unqualified success in
every manner.
The idea Of the excursion originated
in the brain OF the progressive adverts-
ing man OF the old established dry
goods firm. For days past the store
had been giving tickets TO the resort
with every 81 purchase, The result
was seen on the loaded trains yester-
day. So successful was the experiment
that II II understood Auerbarh day viii
be one Of the features every year from
now on.

HAWORTHS TOO.
His Attorneys Also File Petition for
Rehcarlng,

The attorneys for "Nlck" Haworth,
who is now under sentence Of death for
the murder OF Thomas Sandal at Lay
ton, today filed u petition for a rehear-
ing In the supreme court. That court
several weeks ago denied Haworth
new trial for the reason that the evi-
dence relied upon as newly discovered
evidence OF such character as TO war
rant new trial was merely cumulative
and impeached the testimony adduced
at the trial.
The petition. which was filed in the
supreme court today by Attys. Weber
and Braffet and j. NJ, Hamilton, asks
the court to grant rehearing Of the
case on the following grounds;
1.-The court erred in saying that
most Of appellants newly discovered
evidence is cumulative and the balance
inipeaching
1.-THE court erred in rs opinion
wherein II states that the newly dis
covered evidence does not meet the re-
quirements necessary for new trial on
newly discovered evidence.
S-The court mlsapprehends some OF
the facts IN the case.
The petition also contains IL pages OF
typewriter argument Of the attorneys
IN support OF their contention. The
court will I'M all probability take some
action on the petition in n few days.
No oral arguments win be heard on the
matter and the only action to be taken
by the court Is to consider the petition
as filed and then either grant or
deny a rehearing.

II to File a Petition for a
Re. hearing.

Every Effort Being Made to PrOlonC the
Condemned Mans Life as Much
As Possible

The supreme court today granted the

ing in that court. The time for fling
tho petition would have expired on

Thus 1t will be seen that every effort
Is being made to prolong the condemned
mans life and every possible advantage
of the laws delay wan be brought into

delays cease and when will the demands
OF justice for the punishment Of the
perpetrator Of such foul crime be
met? After the petition for u rehear-
Ing is disposed OF, the case WIN be sent
back TO the district court for further
proceedings and a motion for a new
trial on the ground of newly discover
