men Is John Brady, Waiter, Aged 22, Who Is Iden
titled by Several of His Victims.

st. Louis, Feb 10.-John Brady, %
years old, waiter out of employment,
was arrested today on suspicion of be
ing the man given the name Of Jack
the Stabber." who stabbed a number
of women on the streets during the
past three weeks, and later confessed.
Brady was arrested in a resort where
he had boosted that he was Jack the
Stabber-"
Brady was closeted with Chief of De-
tectives Desmond only a short time
when he broke down and made con-
fession. On the chiefs desk lay the
pocket knife that had been taken from
the yeung man when he stabbed sever
al women upon the street one night
three. weeks ago, and had been released
before it had been ascertained that he
had stabbed the women.
Brady identified the knife.
81 JUST took that knife and stuck it
into them, said Brady in high, effem-
mate voice, and with no show of emo
ton or. excitement.
81 dan't know just how the idea first
came-to me. When 1 stabbed the wO-
menT delighted in it. Just one quick
stroke and it was all over; j did not
pick out women particularly; it did not
make any difference TO me so long as
they were women. never thought of
stabbing men. I think the first woman

ADJUSTMENTS

There was no doubling the feature of
the opening performance of the w. b.
Watson burlesquers yesterday afternoon
at the Lyric. The rnirthful skit, Miss
Clover, was enjoyed. There was plenty
Of applause for all the vaudeville num-
bers, but when two little brown brothers,
tight wire and perch exhibition the Lyric
gave applause such as has been given no
performer of single act since the opening
of the theatre. That good, trite express
sion, this must be seen to be apprec1at-
ed, can be employed here in all truth
fulness. There is no way of comparlnS
the Yamamoto act with anything of the
kind previously seen in Salt Lake, De
cause none of the others is within speak
ing distance. The Japanese pair seem to
prove well established laws OF equilibrium
and gravity erroneous. Their stunt is
worth the price of admission.
OF the two burIesques but one, the
first is worth mentioning. The second
and last of the skits, THE Bashful We
nus, >" is absolutely disheartening after
witnessing a programme up to that point
on the first part of this Skit it would help
some. This skit has an aggravated form
of hOrse-play.
Miss Glover" on the contrary, will
please Lyric patrons. There are a num-
Der Of good songs, pretty girls and cos
tunes and some excellent character work.
This burlesQue was accorded as hearty
applause as anything presented this sea-
son at the Lyric.
There viii be a special matinee at the
Lyric Monday afternoon Qincoln ami
Versary). The engagement holds through
Until next Friday night, with the regular
Wednesday matinee.

Much Interest in Contest.

The contest created great interest
throughout the entire intermountain
country.
Two hundred and seventy answers were
received. Many of these were from other
states. Communications were received
from Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Nevada,
while the letters received from Utahans
came from all sides.
The wide difference in the two extreme
solutions was a matter of several hun
dred degrees, as the answers ranged
from one degree above zero to 400 degrees
below zero. The question was answered
by men and women of all ages and ranks
The capitalist. the labOrer. the school
boy the newsbOy-all forgot their strug-
gle for wealth and fame to figure out
how cold it would be If il were twice
as cold as it is when it is degrees above

the school girl, the tiny Miss of five
all studied and scrubbed in an effort to
come to a conclusion.
The contest discovered scientists. hum
orists, mathematician, poets and bright
quick witted young men and women, in
teliigent boys and girls. The palace and
hOvel alike, were scenes of thinking and
wondering. The prize Of s. was forgot

mystery. It is natural to wonder. The
query was q wonder creator.
How Contest Was Settled.
Each communication was numbered in
the order received and filed in order Of

and reached decision. The solutions
received from the contestants were then
read carefully. No answer was absolute

REPLIES TO MARVIN HUGHlTT,
Niobrara Coal Dealer Tells of Troubles
of the Coal Man.

Niobrara, Neb, Dec. 17.-Edtor Nor.
| folk News: Will you kindly allow me
space to reply to what President Hugh
lit of the C. & N. w. says, lest the pub.
| lie becomes misinformed. The first
statement says that in order to avail
themselves of a twenty percent reduc.
ton in coal later, we refused to order
early. If there is twenty percent re-
duction in coal rates, we have failed
to get it in this part of the state. Does
SO cents per ton for sixty miles look
like a twenty percent reduction? We
have coal ordered and others | know
of, since September and we can't get
but a car where our orders call for
five.
| will gladly furnish the gentleman
copies or original letters where the
shippers of coal say that they can not
get cars and in a personal interview
these same shippers claimed they were
losing $4,000 per week on account of
the car shortage This as far back as
October /. AS there was no shortage
this year during June, July and Aug
supply during those months on account
of the loss on such coal through
shrinkage and slack. In other words
the railroad company wants the deal
ers and eventually the public to pay
the same rate in June, July and Aug.
ust for their benefit, that we would pay
when their business embarasses them
for equipment and when our end can
be handled with but small percent
age of waste. There are kinds of coal
we would like to handle in this part of
the state but for the prohibitive rate
put on the same coal by the North
western railroad west of Norfolk. If
it were not for the Juggling of rail
roads we would be able to handle our
coal business to a better advantage.

GREAT TASK FOR WALTERS.
viii be In Charge OF Pacific Coast Elk.
tension

Sioux city Journals All through the
years the Chicago and Northwestern
| Railway company was pushing It's old
Elkhorn line westward toward Casper,
Wyo, and during the last two years
while II has been projecting this cxtcn.
| sion on toward Lander, II was prepar-
ing for the inevitable extension to the
Pacific coast, and shrowd railroad mon.
watching the course of events and de
vclopments, say that the time has
come when the Northwestern, for self
protection, must lengthon It's line.
The extension toward the Pacific
coast viii be in charge of Frank Wal.
ters, general manager of the Chicago
and Northwestern lines west of the
Missouri river.
The attitude of Hartman toward the
Northwestern is pointed to as one of
the reasons why that road Is being
forced to extend to the coast. The
traffic alliance between the North
western and Union Pacific was made
a long time ago. Hartman is planning
in every way to divert business to the
''''''''' N'''''''''' llN lhA'Nl lll'N'bN' Ills
latest announcement in this connection
Is that after January | the Union Pa.
ciiic will not carry sleeping cars be
tween Chicago and Portland and other
Pacific coast points except ON limited
trains to California.
The Northwestern and Union Pacific
at present have a traffic agreement for
the handling of through business be
tween Chicago, Omaha and the coast,
both standard and tourist sleepcrs be-
ing delivered to the Hartman line at
Omaha This has been in effect for
many years, and has enabled the
Northwestern to advertise through
sleeping car service as being without
change from Chicago to all Pacific
coast cities. The advantages and prof
its there to the Northwestern, 1t Is well
understood, are large.
The Hartman plan with respect to
through car service may cause an open
breach with the Northwestern and
provoke a policy of retaliation on the
part of that road, and there also Is the
possibility that Hartman may be re-
taliating upon the Northwestern for
its preparations to reach the coast
with its own line.

WANTED TO KILL SOMEBODY
Henry Jones Was Picked up, Armed
With Booze and a Gun.

Armed with six bottles of booze and
a loaded gun, Henry Jones was in a
mood to start a killingfest west of
Norfolk, near the John Ray farm when
Constable Conley was notified and the
said Jones was brought to Norfolk and
landed in Jail. He was practically par
alyzed with drink when picked up out
along the roadside and he had become
very thoroughly chilled.
People of the neighborhood declared
that he had been in a state of delirium
twice and that Battle Creek physi-
clan told them another such attack
might kill him. 1t is said that when
ever Jones gets in this condition he
starts out with a gun and wants to
shoot.
There was a disposition to file com
plant against him on a charge of be
ing a dipsomaniac, so that he might be
sent to Lincoln, but people in the
neighborhood seemed to fear that in
case this were done he might seek re-
venge by taking somebody's life.
Unless such a complaint were filed.
1t was announced that the man would
be turned loose.
