PILGRIMS RETURNING
FROM SALT LAKE TRIP
WEARY, BUT DELIGHTED, is THE
VERDICT
Strange Tales Are Being Told on
Schwaebe and Youngworth, Their
Pink Palamas and Heartrending
Ride In Mormon City Patrol Wagon

Many of the pilgrims who journeyed
and are returning from their mecca in
the city of the saints to their homes In
the city of the angels
Yesterday morning three special cars,
attached to the regular Salt Lake train,
pulled into the station and almost 200
pilgrims, weary but not footsore, alight-
ed and sought the quiet and peace Of
their own firesides.
President Koepfi and Acting Secre-
tary Gurley were among the first to
alight. Among the others were busi-
ness men who had hurried back to look
after affairs which were demanding
their personal attention.
Among the last but by no means the
least Of those to alight was Tom
Strohm, the genial veteran of the fire
fighters, who so long commanded the
Los Angeles department. He was, as
usual. wearing "the smile that never
comes off," but he looked as If he had
been trying to put out the sun on the
desert.
Did we have a good time?" he ex-
claimed. "Well, I don't know how to
tell you about 1t. 1 haven't been asleep
hardly since 1 left and I guess the rest
of the fellows got less than I did. 1t
was a grand pow WOW from the time
we left until quit the bunch, and they
were still whooping it up.
"City Auditor Ach Louie Schwaebe
and County Surveyor Leo Youngworth
made pair Of pink pajama girls which
could not be or never was equaled be-
fore the footlights. And the impress
sion they made-say, 1t was the great
est hit of the season.
'If they had gotten off the train in
such rigs in Los Angeles the natives
would have been shocked to death, but
the Salt Lake boys merely ordered out
in and drove them to the hotel. Ach
Louie made a great hit sitting on the
front seat beside the driver. with cuffs
on his ankles like an orthodox cannibal.
"They treated us royalty, could not
have been better, and looked after our
comfort as if we were kings. 1t was
simply go, go, go, from morning to
morning again. 1t was strenuous and
told on the boys, but Angelenos are
rushers, anyway, and stood it pretty
well. We will never forget the trip or
stop talking about it, for we had the
time of our lives"
Another shipment of weary pilgrims
will arrive today and by Monday all
are expected home.

PROLONGED FIGHT FOR
POSSESSION OF PISTOL
PatroIman Block and Burt Wiley
Struggle for Half an Hour, the
Officer Whining

Locked in each others arms,
Patrolman Block and Burt Wiley
struggled for nearly half an hour last
night at the corner of Third and
Alameda streets, but the police officer
succeeded in wrestling from his assail-
ant a revolver and placing the hand
cuffs on him.
Wiley is said to have threatened to
shoot the officer, and had a revolver
in his hand when the officer grabbed
him. While each had a tight grasp
of the weapon the struggle for life and
death continued and only after a
fierce struggle was the policeman able
to throw his assailant to the ground
and take the revolver from him.
The patrolman says he saw Wiley
enter a loaded box car on the Santa
Fe tracks and, going to the door, or
dered him to come out. He says the
man came to the door, but as he did
so reached in his pocket for a revol-
YER and the struggle followed.
Wiley was locked up in the city Jail
or a charge Of carrying concealed
weapons.

INJUNCTION GRANTED TO
RAILWAYS IN MISSOURI
Authorities Temporarily Restrained
From Enforcing Maximum
Rate Law
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 16.-Judge
Smith Mcpherson of Red Oak, Ia in
the United States district court here
today issued temporary injunction re-
straining the state railway and ware
house commissioners of Missouri and
the attorney general of the state from
enforcing the maximum freight law
which went into effect today and
against three Kansas City shippers
preventing the latter from claim
ing penalties under the law. The in
junction was granted at the request of
eighteen railways doing business in
Missouri, who brought suit against the
state officials on the ground that the
rates provided in the new law are pro-
hibitive and would amount to the con-
fiscation of their property.
The suit against the three Kansas
City shippers is intended to cover the
shippers of the state as a class and the
order of the court against them will
restrain them from bringing action
against the railways under the law.
The order of the court is made return
able on June rs, when the railroads
will ask to have it made permanent.
At that time District Judge John F.
Phillips will hear the case with Judge
Mcpherson.

DELIGHTED WITH OGDEN
Returning Pilgrims Meet With Hos
pitaIity Everywhere

Special to The Herald.
SALT LAKE, June 16.-After cele-
brating their last day in Utah by max
ing a journey across the Lucin cutoff
on the Southern Pacific, the Angelenos
left for home over the Salt Lake route.
They declared that the visit to the cut
off put the finishing touch to their en-
tertainment.
On their return to Ogden they were
rushed up the canyon to the Hermitage
resort. A few minutes stop there gave
the visitors an opportunity to view its
beauties. The trip delayed the train
two hours and at $3.50 the Los Angeles
express pulled out from the Salt Lake
yards.
At the station 200 Saints bade them
farewell. The day had been a strenu-
Gus one, but in spite of this they were
as lively as so many children.
For half an hour before the depart
ure of the train guests and hosts
chatted in groups of four and five.
over and over again they bade each
other farewell and exchanged countless
handshakes
The parting cast a shadow over the
crowd, for during the past five days
they had become so well acquainted
that the parting resembled that of
brothers.

last night he, was delirious.

the new head of the Equitable: Il
have known Mr.. Ryan six years and
in that time have been associated
with him in enterprises in which we
were mutually interested and opposed
to him in struggles for the control OF

understand that a man could be capa-

Something Like a Fish Story.

Lying between two hills not far
from Hughesville, Penn, is a small
body of water known as "Converse's
ice dam" or fish DAM" that is SO
full of the finny tribe that apparently
it is impossible for fish five inches
long to swim straight.
The small fish are on top and the
large ones below, and in order for
fisherman to get the bait down to the
big fellows it is necessary to make a
hole in the water and carefully drop
the hook down through the wriggling
mass.
On June / Mrs. Irwin Converse and
Miss Gladys Koch were at the dam
making determined effort to hook
some of the under ones. The little
fellows on top, however, made such
fierce attacks on the bait that their
hooks, time after time, were instant
ly cleared as soon as they touched the
water.
Many of the little fellows were
pulled out in order to make room for
the hooks, but the task had not been
accomplished when the reporter left
the ceue.-Williamsport Sun.

eudaeons No Longer Biting.

Confidence in Wall street is at low
ebb, as evidenced by the refusal OF
the public to bite at the bait thrown
to It by promoters, spectators and
financial adventurers. In the good Old
days all that was necessary to sell
new stock or bond was the indorse-
ment of some alleged reputable bank
ing house. The banking house would
reap the harvest and let the public
hold the bag. But investors have
learned a few things during the last
few years and they are now as wary
of the traps set for them by designing
Wall street men as they are OF known
confidence sharks. What Is needed in
Wall street is thorough cleaning.

MODERN LIFE TOO FAST.
Grave Danger in the HustIins Habits
of Americans.

Surgeon General Rixey sounds
note of warning to the American peo-
pie when he declares that the death
of Secretary Hay and a number of
other men prominently identified with
the government in recent years Is due
to too much work and too little exer-
else. The statement coming from an
authority SO high can not be PASSED
without consideration. The energy
of the American is one of the wonders
of the world and there is reason to be-
lieve that persons in private life die
from the cause that has taken so
many public men. The mad pace ap-
pears to pervade all branches of so
ciety, and while some men have the
wisdom to temper their toll with the
necessary exercise they appear to be
the exception rather than the rule.
1t is therefore plain that II Americans
are to live their allotted days they
must change their mode of living. but
how? The principles are established
and 1t is difficult to change them. 1t
has become almost second nature for
the American to hustle, evidently one
of the most dangerous elements of our
business life.
