YOUNG HOWELL SHOT
Son Of Utah Congressman Has Pain
full Experience IN East.

Word has been received in Salt Lake
to the effect that Joseph Howell, son
Of Congressman Howell OF Logan, had
been shot by farmer at Morris, Conn,
and while not seriously injured, had a
narrow escape from death or grave in
Jurles.
Young Howell is a student in the Co
lumbia university school of mines and
was sent with several fellow students
TO Morris TO take summer course IN
field engineering.
One day last week while number
of the students, Howell among them,
were out in the field a farmer stepped
suddenly from a place of concealment
and without any warning fred one bar
rel of a shotgun at Howell, filing the
students body with bird shot.
A riot among the students was al
most precipitated by the farmer s
action and only hasty retreat saved
him from violence at the hands of the
incensed young engineers.
Howell was assisted by his fellows
in extracting the shot from his anat"
omy. and 1t later developed that the
farmer had warned the students not TO
tresnass upon his place. but that
Howell was unaware of this fact. No
further action in the matter was taken
and il was allowed to drop as the boy
was fortunately not seriously injured

Thereupon Mr.. Mulvey handed over
to Mr., Fernstrom one of the subscrip-
tion lists that had been circulated and
which, he stated, was of the form that

gineering department and the heading
was as follows:

strom then made motion that the mi
nority report be adopted, He was the
only one, however, who voted for the
adoption of the report, even his Demo
cratic colleagues voting against it.
A vote was then taken on the adop-
tion of the majority report, and it was
adopted.
A motion was then made to refer
the sworn statement presented by Mr..
Black TO the Committee on Streets with
instructions to that committee to make
thorough investigation of the charges
made in the statement, The motion
was carried by unanimous vote.

f. b, McIlroy, whose inventive

upon mineral deposit of Utah, which
had long been considered valueless, is
a guest AT the Knutsford.
Some time ago Mr.. Mcllroy, who is
interested in the manufacture of rub
Der hose and betting, hoard of a min
eral abounding in the southern part Of
this State, which In some ways re-
sessed few of the characteristics of
rubber. He obtained sample, and
after careful chemical analysis and
test, made up his mind that the sub
stance could be turned to some good ac
count. After a long series Of expert
ments, some OF which were discourag-
ing, he finally succeeded in solving the
problem.
Strength and Durability.
Elaterite is the name given by the
Government to this valuable mineral,
and with it Mr.. McIlroy declares that,
in combination with linen and cotton,
hose and betting Of great strength and
durability can be produced.
81 am stopping of here, Mr.. Nc
Troy said to a Tribune representative,
Ito arrange for the purchase of the
entire deposit of this mineral, if pos
sible, and may make arrangements to
build a plant in this vicinity for the
manufacture of our goods from this ma
terial, of which 1 understand there are
vast quantities to be obtained. I have
secured patent on the product, and
am in position to handle 1t as fast as
it can be taken out, p
Mr.. Mc1lroy is backed by heavy cap
ltal in Chicago, and claims that elater-
ite will eventually take the place of
rubber in the manufacture of hose, belt
ing and other goods in which rubber is
now used.
