A rather new use of blue light has
been reported from Geneva-namely,
it's use as an anaesthetic In dentistry.

that 16-candle-power blue light, di-
rected upon the eyes of patient for
three minutes, caused him to lose
sensitiveness to such an extent that
a tooth was painlessly extracted, with.
out after effects of any kind. Whether
the anaesthetic was general or only
local is not reported.

Refuse to Approve Claim Of
Deputy Sheriff Joe
Sharp.
FOR HIS HOT SPRINGS TRIP.
Sheriff Emery VIII Have To Devise
Some Means of Getting Back
Money lie Advanced.

The state board Of examiners has re-
fused to approve the claim Of Deputy
Sheriff Joe Sharp Of s2i6.10 for his ex-
penses to Hot Springs. Ark. where he
arrested Jim Donaldson, who IS now In
JAN awaiting trial on the charge Of
robbing the McWhlrter brothers Of over
$4,000 In this city on Sept. ~. II seems
that In the reQuistlon papers which
were issued for the return Of Donald
son to this state, Sheriff G. Frank
Emery was designated as the agent
OF the state to 20 after and bring Don
aldson back TO Utah and the state
would be liable for his expenses.
Deputy Sheriff Sharp had been trailing
Donaldson through several cities and
had located him nj Hot Springs and
placed him under arrest.
Donaldson agreed TO come back here
without requlsition papers so the sheriff
did not have TO go after him but Sharp
brought him back. The money ex-
pended by the deputy was advanced by
Sheriff Emery In order To not cause
any delay In arrestlng Donaldson and
the proper vouchers Tor all expenses
were made out by the deputy and filed
with the board of examiners. The
board. however claims that the state ls
not liable for any bills contracted by
the deputy at all az he was not the
agent OF the state In this matter Just
how the matter win be settled Is not
known az present but II is probable that
the Eheriff viii get his money back some
way.

COAL SITUATION
IS EASIER TODAY
Both the Rio Grande and the
Oregon Short Line Are
Delivering.
RAILRoADMAN IS SXEPTICAL.
Believes the Public Is Placing More
Orders Than Necessary to Insure

Today the coal situation is some
what relieved owing to both the Gould

ments through. The famine In. Wyo-

cry OF eight carloads OF lump, one OF

company this morning stated that there
Is lot on the way TO Salt Lake while
since yesterday the consignments for
the retail dealers have been coming In
IN good shape, In any case there Is
plenty Of coal In sight to take care OF
domestic consumers. say the railroad
officials.
At Ogden, where the famine Is worse
than In Salt Lake and things reached
crisis q couple OF days ago relief has
been sent by both big railroad systems,
the Rio Grande furnishing the major
part.
The conslgnments above set forth do
not include those for the smelters,
manufacturing plants and commercial
enterprises, all OF which are running.
Railroad officials are inclined to take
an optimistic view OF the coal situation
now that the beet hauling season Is
about over with its attendant release
Of cars aud locomotives which can be
returned to the coal service,

said railroad man today. THE public

spell, but | think II an Investigation
of tho coal bins of Salt Lake dwellings
were possible II would be found that
there was coal stored away In each.
Under present conditions 1t Is impossl-
BILE 10 get an estimate of the amount
OF coal required for the simple reason
that the people are running around to
the retail dealers and placing orders
for COAL One dealer tells a man that
he cannot deliver him any coal for a
couple Of weeks. He gives his order
and says to himself that between the
two he has a chance of getting some
coal. I knew of number OF duplicate
orders that have been placed In this
fashion. People want to be sure Of
getting coal and are simply dropping
orders all over town. " II were poss-
bic to get teams enough to delived this
