LAWYER GETS into JAZZ
Refugee Barrister Is Accused {
Passing Many Bogus Checks
in Zion.

F. H. Hamilton. who. with ". E.
Crouch, came to Salt Lake after the
San Francisco earthquake as refugees
and established himself as an attorney,
was arrested yesterday by Detective
Shannon for obtaining money under
false pretenses. The police have five
checks which Hamilton passed at diff
ferent stores and saloons about Salt
Lake, amounting to $50. Chief Sheets
says there are several more worthless
checks issued by Hamilton which have
not been heard from. The checks were
all for small amounts and made out on
the National Bank of the Republic.
Hamilton went to Ogden about three
weeks ago, and, according to Chief of
Police Browning, passed several checks
there for small amounts. Crouch has
disappeared since Hamilton returned
from his Ogden trip. 1t is said that 2
draft had been drawn by Hamilton on
some Pittsburg bank. but the police
have been unable to get hold of it. Com
plants will be filed against Hamilton
this morning by Detective Shannon.

SUDDEN SQUALL SENDS MANY
HATS SAILING THROUGH AIR

The weather mans dope box fell from
a shelf yesterday afternoon and there
was Ned to pay.
A small package of hurricane was

over town. A forty-five mile-per- hour
wind-Or-faster played tag with itself and

Two women were walking on First
South street in front of drug store: A
few steps further down the street there
was a liquid shop where a beaker of

wind carried her into the doorway of the
place with the beaker of booze and cake
of ice painted on Its window. A police
man hurried to her assistance, but before
he could reach her he became separated
from his helmet. The woman was left
to come out of the saloon herself.
The helmet rolled along the street. fol-

MAY TAKE UP TRACKS.
Company Will Have to Make Deci
sion Within a Few DAYS.

The Utah Light & Railway company
was officially notified yesterday by the
board of public works of its intention to
maCadamize First street from A to ]
streets. The company will decide i'm a
few days about removing the street car
tracks.
If the protest is not too great from peo-
pie who have been using the line, it is
probable that the company will decide to
take up the tracks. 1t is necessary, how
ever. for the consent of the trustee of the
bondholders to be secured before this can
be done. Consent, it is said, will probably
be granted only on condition that the
company construct an equal amount of
track elsewhere in the city.

Boys BAND IS PLEASING
Juvenile Organization Is Warmly APP
plauded by Tabernacle
Audience.

The Pluck Juvenile band, the organiza-
ton which took Denver by storm and
made the whole of No. So, B. P. O. E,
proud of the boys who compose it, made
its first public appearance in Salt Lake
last night before an audience which near
ly filled the lower floor of the tabernacle.
As the boys in their purple and white
uniforms filed in and took their places
for the opening number, they were greet
ed by a round of applause which echoed
through the building. And as the first
number was finished this was repeated
Rough Riders March" which was
played with fire and spirit throughout.
This was followed by First ViOlets An
dante and Waltz" which, while softer
spIendidly done. "Old Black Joe"
Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" ''ManitOu,"
Dixie" and America" were the other
numbers. Each reflected credit on the
boys and their teacher, l.. T. Chrtsten-
sen, and on Judge Willis Brown, by
whose energy the organization was per-
fected. Mr.. Christensen was given a
warm reception when he appeared for the
cOrnet solo, in which he was accompanied
on the organ by ]. ]. Mcclellan. In re-
Spouse TO an encore he played again.
Master Ward Cassidy was the first vO-
calist of the evening and he surprised
the audience with the rich quality of his
baritone voice. While rather nervous in
his first number he did better in the
second, which was better adapted to his
voice.
Mile Williams sang with her clear so
pranO Sing Me TO Sleep and The
Meaning Of the L. S. A. Charles Kent
also sang, and Miss Sarah Perkes. lit
tie miss who gives great promise as a
reader, recited a humorous selection
Winch pleased everybody. The work of
the Juvenile choir under the direction of
Evan Stephens was excellent, and the
brass quartette, composed of Orson Hyde
and Owen McAleer with the comets and
Ralph Brown with a baritone and Con-
rad Draper with the melophone, was one
of the gems of the evening. Mr., Nc
Clellan played all the Accomplishments.

The original state land grants for state
institutions, aggregating 1.524O acres,
made by the government at the time Utah
became state, have been exhausted by
the former state land board
The last yearly report shows that there
Is about s., 100000 in securities held by the
state, which revenue has been secured
from the state land sales. This is not
the entire principal sum, however, as
much of the land is being paid for by the
purchasers in yearly installmentS. The
state also receives interest at 3 per cent
on the unpaid principal.
The state grants and the number of
acres of land assigned to. each follows:
Agricultural collegs 100000: reservoirs,
100000: University of Utah, 10000; insane
hospital. 100000: school of mines. 100000;
school for the deaf and dumb, 1000; re-

The school lands and indemnity lands,
received in lieu of relinquished lands, now
offered for sale by the state amount TO
10000 of acres. This land is scattered
about on the tops of mountains and on
deserts. Some of it, however. is said TO
he good land for agricultural purposes.
The appraisals on the land are declared
high, and ii is said that the best lands
in the state have been sold. The min
imum prices of state lands have been
raised by the present land board from
Sl.50 to $3.50 per acre.
