This Time 1t Is That of Side
stopper When Ques-
toned.
NAN WHO BUTTED INTO
SALT LAKE CRAWFlSHES
For Once in His Life He ShrinkS
From NOtoriety He AL
ways Sought.

DR.. w. X. Shaw. on Monday night side
stepped an opportunity TO bathe In tho
nool of notoriety This is most un-
Usual proceeding for the doctor, for II Is
said that when. In his own homo I'm In
dIanapoIis Ind, where he Is pastor OF
Trinity Congregational church. that To
him notorety OF any sort is sweeter than
the incense Of the redolent cigarette, To
the determination of which he Is dcTo0ng
his life at so much per year. DR. Shaw ,s
president OF the Anti-Cigarette league, In
addition TO being pastor OF the 1ndianap-
oils church In the Hooscr town they
refer TO DR. Shaw as a crank. In Salt
Lake he has gained another appcllation,
Took in All Brutal Details
DIR. Shaw arrived here last Thursday
und sincc his arrival has been a guest OF
Judge Willis Brown, popularity believed TO
own the Juvenile court Just why DR..
Shaw, layman, should have been placed
on the bench beside the child judge, no
one but the Judge and Dr. Shaw can tell,
but when the case OF the girl. Emily
Knox WAS tried" on that day. DR.. Shaw
sat upon the bench and took in all the
brutal details Of the trial.
Shaw Tried to Break In.
Several times the pugnacious-on paper
doctor tried TO break Into print WITH
mis- opinions in the merits OF the case,
but The Tribune representative VINO was
reporting the case Studousiy relralheu
from quoting the reverend doctor, under
the mistaken idea that he would appre-
clate not being drawn into controversy
chat would not reflect on him pleasantly,
The reporter had an old fashioned and
foolish idea that the lloosier diNlnes pc
ing guest In q quasi sense OF the city,
was entitled to be left out OF the uh-
diccnSSlpn Several times. IN the
course OF his duties, DR.. Shaw trled 10
break In and provoke q discussion, but
hospitality forbade taking advantage OF
his words. Any other man would nave
appreciated this. but not so DR.. Shaw
Broke Into Newspapers.
Finding be could not get his name Into
the papers any other way and being sol
ON seeing IL In print. he waited I'LL sun
day morning. when he got himsclt IN,
vited TO the pulpit OF one OF the local
churches Instead of preaching ser
mon on brotherliness and helpfuiness. the
divine opened up his discourse with the
sometimes and that the Salt Lake re-
porters Who wrote up the brutal trial
Of Emily Knox had lied In particular.
This breach OF hospitality was not un-
noticed and caused no little comment
during The remainder of the day.
Tribune Reported Case Correctly.
AS particular care was taken by The
Tribune to report the case OF the Knox
girl with absolute ndelity 10 detail. IT
was deemed only right that II lies had
been told CT mlsstatements made OF
which Or. Shaw was coenlzant, that he
ne given an opportunity to point out the
truth. To that end Or. Shaw was sought
out at the home OF the Juvenile Judge, at
c and Seventh streets, Monday night.
Two Stenographers Called.
In order that there could be no posi-
bility OF miSquotng the gentleman, two
competent stenorSraphcrs were detailed'
one being the reporter who had preVi-
ously written the story OF the Knox trial'
Tho reporters were adnlltted to tho house
and ushered into room with large
table, DR.. Shaw recognized the last
named reporter and profusely shook his
hand Then he excused himself To get
his coat The coat was evidently up
stairs. Details that appear trivial are re-
fcrred 70 In order that no part of this
Interview which was all too short, may
not be lacking.
Returns to Room.
There was a hiatus OF aboue one minute
and seventeen seconds between tho time
he went upstairs until he returned In a
frock coat with either two or three
buttons in front Tho interview was short,
30 there is some uncertainty about the
number.
Reporter Asks Question.
Or. Shaw.did not ask his visitors to be
seated. Judge Brown did that In the alb
scnce OF the doctor. DIT: Shaw sat down
cane bottom. He looked an inquiry at
the reporter whom he had met, but had
never been introduced 10 In a social way
The reporter started To ask "A question.
IL was not finished, Dr. Shaw broke it
of about four inches from the middle,
The question In full was TO have been:
What the Question Was.
''Dr. Shaw. there appeared in the morn
ing papers an article purporting TO have
been q partial report OF your sermon Of
Sunday. In which YOU are quoted as say
ing that all reporters lie some times and
that those who wrote the story OF tho
Emily Knox trial lied in particular. WEI
YOU kindly point out wherein the reports
Of the case appearing In The Tribune
were not In accordance with the facts as
YOU saw them7' The query only had
reached as far as the word sermon. 50
