ATLANTA SALOONS CLOSED
Rumor That a Race Riot Was Immi-
nent Caused Mayor Wood
ward to Take Action.

Atlanta. Ca, Dec. A.-To avoid pos
sibility of any repetition of recent race
rioting in this city, Mayor Woodward to-
day issued an order closing all saloons
in the city at o'clock this afternoon.
to remain closed until Wednesday morn
ing. For several weeks indefinite rumOTS
have been heard that Christmas was to
be made the occasion of an attack upon
the negroes in Atlanta. No such rumor
could be traced to authoritative
source, but the effect has been to drive
many negroes from the city. Several
* X. X" notices were posted on the
streets Saturday morning last. While
no serious consideration has been given
to these. a reward of 800 was offered
by Mayor Woodward for evidence to con-
vict any person of posting these or in
any way melting to riot. The law re-
quires that all saloons be closed on
Christmas day, but never before has the
law been put in force on Christmas eve.

Daly-West and DAILY Judge An
noImGe Increase of
rs Cents a Day.

News received from Park. City yester-
day brought the information that the
Daly-West and the DAILY Judge Mining
companies have granted their men a 25-
cent per day increase. A general move
ment is on in the camp to secure a so
cents per day increase
Daly-Judge miners are paid So for an
eight-hour shift, and muckers S2.75. Aft
er the first of the year miners will be
paid S3.25 and muckers 50. The Daly-West
company employs about 800 men regularly.
A Park City Record extra quotes Sec
rotary j. p Langford of the Miners
union at Park City as saying: 1.-THE in
crease in the wages at the Daly-Judge
and Daly-West companies made the
woFkingmen of the camp feel good and
caused true Christmas spirit to prevail
When asked if this increase was going
to satisfy the members of the union he
said he could not say, but that the oles-
ton would be settled at a meeting of the
miners to be held Wednesday AFTERNOON
at the Dewey theatre. Judging from the
sentiment around Miners union head
quarters however, it is safe to predict
that the increase will be satisfactory
This makes Park City the highest wage
camp in the state. and to quote Mr.. Lang
ford. it will he the best camp in the state
from now on.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The sixth annual
report of the director of education in the
Philippines concerning the activities of
the educational workers in the islands for
the year ending June 30. 1906, shows that
there are now 3,166 primary schools in
the islands, with an average of 315,554 pu-
pills. Seven hundred American and 6,224
Filipino teachers are employed. All OF
the school divisions, the report says,
conducted teachers Institutes. varying
from four to six weeks in the different
provinces. The instruction given was di-
vided between the common branches of
the intermediate course and special top
les of instruction, such as school gar
dening domestic science. primary indus
trial work and methods Of teaching.
There are 2,454 primary school build
ings in the islands owned by the munich
palities and in addition a number of
buildings belonging to the provinces but
not constructed originally for school
purposes, are used. Private instruction

Washington. Dec. 24-The opinion of
the supreme court of the United States
in the case of the board of education of
the Kentucky annual conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church VS.. the
State of Illinois, which was handed
down today by Justice Mckenna, was
favorable to the state. The suit grew
out of a contention whether the Illi-
nois law exempting religious and edu-
cational institutions from the operation
of the inheritance tax law applies to
institutions outside the state. The
state authorities undertook to collect
the tax or building in Chicago which
was devised by a Kentucky woman 10
the church in her state. The Illinois
courts held the law was intended only
for the protection of state institutions
and did not cover the Kentucky be-
quest. Todays opinion affirmed that
decision.
In concluding his opinion, Justice Nc
Kenna said:
1T cannot be said that If a state ex
empts a Request to charity from taxa
ton it is unreasonable or arbitrary to
require the charity to be exercised with
in her border and on her people. whetn-
er exercised through persons or corpo-
ratiCnS."

TWO EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS
Seismographs at the Weather Bureau
Record Disturbances of Con-
siderable Magnitude.

Washington, Dec. PA special bull
letin issued by the weather bureau to-
day says:
THE seismographs of the weather bu-
reau recorded two earthquakes of con-
siderable magnitude, the first shortly
after noon on the 22d, and the second
a bout twenty-three hours later, namely.
afternoon of Dec. %. From the appear
ance of the records we are led TO con-
clude that the earthquakes originated
at widely separated localities, but this
cannot be definitely told.
THE first tremors were recorded al
1 :51:50 d. m. of the I'D, and the maxi
mum motion, of very snort duration, &C.
CURED at 2:22:40 p m The record enl-
ed about 8 o'clock. The strongest &C
tion vas recorded in a north-south di-
rection and amounted to IL miIlimeter
of the ground. The dis
placement, in the east-West direction
was only 3 millimeters.
Second Disturbance.
saThe second disturbance was recorded
lust after. II O'Clock Dec. %. and the
motion IN both north-south and east
west directions was greater in both
and lasted longer than in
the first earthquake. The first prelin-
mary trenor began at 12:S7:33 p. m. The
strong mDtion beginning at 12:43 and
lasted from three to -four minutes The
maximum displacement in the east
vest direction was IL millimeters and
/ 9 millimeters for the north-souta COM
nonent The end of the record occurred
1T 1:1f:21 y. M
s"As FAR as can be judged from the
records. the second disturbance was not
at so great a distance as the first enc,
huf both disturbances must have been
several thousand miles from Washing

Mississippi Village

Meridian, Miss. Dec. 24-According
groes for miles around have congre-
gated In the town of Wahalak, forty
miles north of this city, and all during
this afternoon have paraded the streets
threatening vengeance on the whites
because of the killing of one negro and
the wounding of another by conduc-
tor of a passenger train of the Mobile
& Ohio railroad yesterday morning
while the latter was attempting to
quell disturbance aboard his train. At
the town of Wahalak scarcely more
than twenty-five white people reside
and, in response to a plea for protec-
ton, battery 1 and company D of the
state militia stationed in this city have
been ordered to proceed to the scene
with all dispatch. They left on board
special train at 10 o'clock and should
reach Wahalak by midnight
The battery carried a gatling gun and
all the men are heavily armed.
Report Not Verified.
At $50 message from Scooba, the
first station south of the scene of the
trouble, stated that a clash had occurred
between the races with the result that
port, however. is not verified. although
railroad officials admit receiving a
message detailing some additional trou-
bic.
The trouble of yesterday morning
originated while the train was between
Wahalak and Scooba in a fight between
two negroes. Conductor Cooper, who
was in charge of the train, attempted to
separate the combatants, when he was
attacked by a negro known as Spencer.
After receiving several knife wounds
Cooper fired on his assailant, seriously
wounding him and killing an unknown
negro. When Wahalak was reached
Spencer, though badly wounded, left
the train and when Constable O'Brien
of that place attempted to effect his
capture the negro shot and killed the
officer. Spencer then escaped to the
woods, with a posse in pursuit. At last
reports the negro had succeeded in
eyading his pursuers.

Since 1s47. when the leaders of the Nor
valley as the site of the city of Zion.
there have been many merry Christmas
days celebrated here, but today, the
fifty-ninth of these, promises to be per-
haps the merriest and happiest of all.
Never before has there been such true
Christmas split evidenced by the people
Of Salt Lake, and when the day has end
ed there will be few who can truly say
that ii has not meant something to them
To the prosperity which has blessed the
nation and particularly Utah and the
western country during the past year. can
perhaps be attributed the superb bundance
of christmas glee which seems to pre-
vail today. There have been-tim when
men have gone hungry in Salt Lake on
Christmas day, but this year il is safe to
say that there is not a person in the CITY
who viii not enjoy at least one good meal
before the day ends.
'Tis Home Day.
Christmas is particularly a home day
and 1T will be SO celebrated by the major
ity of Salt Lake folk. OF course there
are those who have to work. but these
will be let off as easily as possible The
girls in the telephone offices will work
according to the Sunday schedules and
each one will be given ample time to par
ticipate in the family dinner.
Privileges of this kind will also be given
the policemen AMI firemen. while the en-
ployes in the other city and county de-
partments will have a whole day to them
selves. The postoffice employees will work
on the Sunday schedules and railroad men
will be given time off in every case where
shifts can be arranged.
