though whether he left his heart behind
also cannot be stated with historic ex-
actness. He was the observed of all
observers and the perfect rhythm with
which he waved that big emblem at

on the field.
Mr. Smith thinks about 1000 people
saw the game, which was perfect one
as far as the Salt Lake team was con-
cerned. only the ball was wet and slip

The crowd dwindled rapidly away as
II became evident how the game was
going. but the noble Salt Lake con-
tingent remained faithful and Yelling

Certain Irregularities.

Oscar f. Lyons, postmaster at Peoa,
Utah, since 1881, and a resident of Titan
since 1850. was today arrested on the
charge of using postage stamps In a
fraudulent manner. His arrest is the
result of an inspection of his Office by
the postofilce inspectors, and all of his
books have been retained as evidence.
II Is understood that the specific charge
against Mr.. Lyons is that his record
of cancellations of stamps exceeds the
number actually cancelled, although he
states that he does not know how the
inspectors reached this conclusion. Mr..
Lyons came to Salt Lake In connection
with the case Tuesday but was re-
leased on his own recognizance, as lac
wished TO spend Thanksgiving day with
his family. without having them know
Of his difficulty. He returned again
this morning voluntarily, and was
placed under bonds of $500, He will
plead to the charges next Saturday
morning. .
Mr.. Lyons Is a well respected mem
Der OF the community at Peoa. He has
several times filled office in Summit
county, and was one Of a group of men
to found the first newspaper In Provo
city. Before that he worked as "A COM
posltor on two Salt Lake papers, and
was employed In this capacity by the
Deseret News In the early fifties, soon
after the paper was started. Mr.. Lyons
is very old man, and takes his ar
rest rather hard.

To Mayor Morris.

warned that unless Ii reform Is made
In this city, a great calamity will be-
fall 1t. The writer states that he Is

Chicago. Dec 2.-ln an address at the
opening session of the Central Associa-

ers yesterday. Prof. Thomas Crowder
Chamberlln of the University of Chi

"accretion theory" of the earths origin.
which, II accepted by scientists, VIII
overthrow the so-called "nebular hypo-
thesis" and do away with most of the
ideas commonly held as to the origin
of the earth and other planets
According to the 'nebuIar hypothe-
sis" or I.amace theory, which has been
held for over century. the earth and
the other planets originally were
masses OF molten matter thrown on
from the sun by its whirling motion
and gradually cooled to their present
condition. This theory, Prof. Chamber
lin attacks, on the assumption that the
sun never had a whirling velocity sum-
Client to throw on such bodies,
Prof. Chamberlins theory is that a
disturbance was caused in our sun by
the near approach Of or collision with
some other sun, and gave them rotary
motion by It's own attractions as II
passed. These particles OF matter then
gradually gathered together TO form
the planets. The internal heat of the
earth, says Prof. Chamberlln, developed
by compression as the body grew. The
theory that the moon once had an at
mosphere, he asserts, must also be Civ
en- up.
The meeting of the association IL at
tended by 800 teachers OF science and
mathematics from the central states.
