TORREY DOING GREAT WORK
Coming to Salt Lake from Atlanta,
Where He Secured Countless
Conversions.

DR.. r. A. TOrrey. the noted evangelist,
will be in Salt Lake next Tuesday even
ing and will hold services at the First
Methodist church. Salt Lakers will then
have an opportunity of hearing the man
who has probably held more revival meet
ings and spoken to larger audiences in
all parts OF the globe than any other liv-
ing evangelist. For the past ten years
DR.. ToTrey and Mr.. Alexander, who will
also be in Salt Lake. have toured the
world, holding meetings in almost every
civilized country and meeting with enthu-
siastic receptions.
Recently the evangelists held a revival
at Atlanta, Ca. For a week the tent in
the downtown district was filled TO its
capacity of 4090. and the affair is de
scribed as having been the greatest ex-
ample of religious fervor produced by a
revival in the southern city All classes
and conditions of men and women were
reached by the eloquence of the preacher
and the number of conversions credited to
the weeks stay is placed in the thou
sands.
Dr. Torrey is known in every part of the
United States. Last year he returned
from a series of revivals in England that
are still talked of in the British Isle.
The song service led by Mr.. Alexander.
has always been a feature of the TOrrey
revivals and will probably be greatly ap-
preciated in Salt Lake. DIR. TOrrey is ac-
companied by his 1S-year-old daughter
Blanche, who is assisting him in his work

SUES TO REGAIN FORTUNE
Stock Pledged for Small Loan VaIu-
able: White Wants 1t Back.

p. D. White, according to a suit filed
by him in the district court yesterday
against the Success Mining company
and NJ. Rudalett, in November. 1901,
borrowed S74 from Joseph Ruffati and
gave him 10000 shares of stock in the
mining company as security. Now the
stock is worth $1.22 a share, and ne
wants them back.
After the transaction it appears that
Rufatti assigned the shares TO Ruda-
lett and the latter. January last, COM
menced suit before Justice Dana T.
Smith TO perfect his title. No sum-
mons was served on White, although,
il is alleged, his Denver address was
known. Justice Smith ordered the
stock sold to pay the balance of $40
with interest due on the original in
debtedness to Rufatti, and the court
records show that the plaintiff bought
in the stock for $50, and that a jUdg-
ment for $42 additional was entered
against White, as the sale of the stock
failed To cover the amount due by the
amount Rudalett then endeavOred to
compel the mining company to accept
the transfer of the stock, and upon
their refusal last month brought an
action in the district court.
White says that he did not give Ru-
fatti the stock as actual security, and
that he never assigned it over to him.
It was simply to be held by him until
White paid the bill, it is alleged. For
this reason he claims Rudalett'S title
is worth nothing.

FRANCHISE HEARING DELAYED
Black and Crabtree on Hand to Con-
slider Proposed Extensions of
Street Railway System.

IHhDued with the most public spirited
motives, Councilmen Black and Crab
tree the twins" left their respective
vocauons yesterday afternoon to at
tend the hearing on the franchise of
the Utah Light & Railway company at
the city and county building The
others present were Farley l. Will
liams, general counsel. and Joseph s
Wells, general manager of the cOmpa-
ny, and Judge LIE Grand Young. who is
also Interested i'm the improvement.
After waiting some length of time
action on the proposed extensions was
again delayed until next Tuesday aft
ernoon-
Mr.. Williams brought with him a
copy of the revised franchise, which
ne wished TO submit This covers
practically the same extensions as the
other, but provides that all the i'm
proVement work and extensions shall
De completed at the end of five years
This clause was inserted in order that
the council might understand that the
company is going ahead in good faith
and expects to make the Salt Lake
system one of the best in the country.
To Haul Material.
In addition to this there is a clause
allowing the company to use the old
right of way of the Emigration canyon
railway in order that il may haul bal
lasting material from that point This
VIII no DOUBT cause considerable OppO-
sitiOn, as the council has set its foot
down UPON hauling material through
the streets on electric cars unless P.
]. Moran is favored.
Councilman Black was on hand YES
terday with his proposition to make the
company pay the city 81, 600 600 for the
TT,
street and municipal laws committees
several weeks ago assured Farley L.
Williams that there would be no diff
Guilty in passing the extension fran
chiSe. At that time Mr.. Williams was
asked to SeSTegate from the original
franchise proposition presented the
clauses re-enacting the franchise of
1905 and giving the company the power
to become Il common carrier of freight
within the city limits. These questions
were TO be considered later, as it was
thought that the company ought to
pay something for carrying freight
and that the 1906 franchise should not
be Ie-enacted until the suit pending i'm
the district court attacking its validi-
ty is determined. There was no oppO-
sition. however, to allowing the COM
pany to make the extensions desired
aud its representatives were assured
that the request would be granted so
that the company could go ahead with
its work as soon as possible.
Then Crabtree stepped into the breach
and delayed matteSs by his remark
that other important matters must be
considered before the extensions
could be granted or the franchise even
referred TO the city attorney for ap-
prevail as to its legality. Now Black
has come 10 Crabtree's aid and has
supplied the S1000,000 amendment
which will no doubt delay the improve
ments for a considerable time.
