TALK TO POSTAL CARDS.
Recipient of Such Mail Runs II OF
on His Photograph.

Chicago. Dec. 2S-Not long, ago an
nOuncement was made Of the invention Of
an automatic typewriter that threatened
TO drive stenographers out of business,
but a greater device than this has re-
Gently been brought out and perfected.
1t is new German machine that snakes
a photograph record on a postal card.
The card is simply placed under the re-
corder. and the desired conversation is
talked into a tube. This IS recorded on
the card.
A 1-cent stamp is placed on the reverse
side with the address, and tbs whole
thing mailed to the addressed. He puts It
on his reproducing machine and hears
the conversation just at IL was given. and
does not have 10 read letters. OF course,
il written copy is desired. this can be
easily made. but the record is filed away
for use at any future time.
This possesses two great advantages
II saves time OF transcribing, and also
reduces postage one-half. II eliminates
the stenographer and the typewriter, and
cuts down Office expense wonderfully.
and If 1t becomes generally adopted in
this country the pretty typewriter girls
Will have TO hunt other Jobs or else
get married.

READ LIFE OF ROOSEVELT"
Boy Probably Saves Lives OF Conn
paniO1 by His Skill.

Cleveland. Ohio, Dec. 2S.-Inspired by
reading THE Life Of President Roose-
welt" fourteen-year-old Otto Siedow ac-
quired such skill as a marksman that he
saved two companions and himself from
serious injury. possibly from hydrophobia
to-day by shooting mad cat just as she
was about to spring from tree.
The boys, Of whom Otto was the Oldest.
were hunting in the gully near their home
for the animal, which escaped the police
yesterday after running mad, biting
a dog. swapping the fingers of it's owner,
Mrs. Philip Riley. and several children
Otto was armed with a small rifle. As
they passed under tree. a snarl sounded
over their heads and the cat was seen
crouehing above. Just as the cat Ieaped
a bullet crashed into its head squarely
between the eyes.
Where did you learn 10 shoot?" Otto
was asked afterwards
Il practlced," he answered. II read The
Life of President Roosevelt and then I

FAMINE DRIVES OUT AsIATICs.
Armenians and Arabs FIOckinE to
United States by Hundreds

New York, Dec. 2s-Additional adyices
from Eastern Turkey and Armenia, re-
ceived to-day by the American Board Of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions, in
dictate that the famine already reported is
more severe than was first anticipated
and the tide Of emigration to this country
was never so strong as at present.
Secretary Harry Wade Hicks writes
from Harpoot that upon returning TO that
city recently he met hundreds of Arabs
and Armenians going in the direction Of
SAMSON. and eventually to America.
All these persons were young or middle
aged, able-bodied men, representing the
strongest element Of the population in
that country, and sufficiently well off to
make the necessary gift to leave Tur-
key and pay their passage to America.
It Is estimated that 200 families have
left the vicinity OF Harpoot since last
April. and the tide Of emigration is con-
tinually rising.

WIRES THAT WIFE IS DEAD.
Man Makes Himself a Candidate for
Tar and Feathers.

Winsted. Conn, Dec. 2S.-When Clarence
Churchill. the young son-in-law Of Mr.
and Mrs. John Parkins learned this after
noon that his father-in-law had a tele-
gram from HaZelton from his daughter
(Churchilrs wife) saying that she was
alive and well and not to pay any atten-
ton to Churchill's story, the young man
remarked that he was glad she was alive
and left the house.
Churchill had sent a telegram from
Phillipsburg, n. j.. that his wife was
dead, and when told to send her body
home. said he had no money. When a
local undertaken was sent he said she
was dead at Easton, Pa. and after wiring

He admitted to the undertaken here that
his wife was not dead. but Parkins. in
ignorance Of this, made all arrangements
for his daughters funeral.

TAGGART PROBABLE WINNER
Fight i'm Indiana County Democratic
Conventions Is Close.

indianapolis. Dec. 2S.-Reports from the
county conventions held throughout the
State to-day to choose delegates to the
Democratic conventions, at which new
members Of the State central committee
Will be chosen, indicate that a fight
against Taggart was made in every dis
trict except here in his home city. where
his man has no opposition. Both sides are
claiming a majority of the new commit
teemen. but neither appears to be very
confident.
There is no doubt but Taggart has been
defeated in several districts, but there
is question if his opponents will be able
20 secure seven OF the thirteen votes and
thus elect a State chairman who is un-
friendly 10 him.

Here in Salt Lake and Ready to

No, dear reader, Floyd Mcfarland is
NOT in the hospital. The report pub
lished yesterday morning to that effect
is base SANDER and far from the truth
Mcfarland WAS in the hospital but n
is not ROW. The tail form OF the lanky
Californian was seen to step off the
eastern train last evening and those wht
had read the latest Geographic dope from
the east that Mcfarland was in the hos
pital at Brooklyn began to sit up anc
take notice.
- Ii is just like this: Mcfarland wa.

last week. He was told that Il would ID
necessary to go back to the hospital on
Friday and have another performed be
fore he was pronounced cured. MeFaI

went 10 his room. thought il over anC
then took the next train for Salt Lake

He is now here and while his ear &.

WILLARD BEAN
ON BIG FIGHT
Well Known Salt Laker Gives
Fine Points of Schreck-
Hot Bout at TOnopah.

Willard Bean, the pa-son pugilist and
the we'll known devotee of '-the manly
art of self-defense,' was al Tonopah, and
in Mike Sehreck's corner when the latter
recently defeated Marvin Hart Bean
writes a letter and gives his version of
the fight. and as Bean is quite a critic
ding
Bean says: Il was a little disappoint-
ed In Schreck's work. He is not as clever
AS when he fought Berry in Salt Lake.
He has grown big and more cumbersome,
has slow delivery, no footwork and is not
pounds, is compact. strong, tough, but
somewhat numbering in his movements.
Hart had only eleven days training and
not the right kind at that, which is not
enough for a big man|95 pounds He
uses nice lawmakers, but hits wrong
With his hands and accordingly sprung
one OF the carpus bones from its socket.
He is aggressive strong and tough but
has never learned the art of boxing. By
careful and proper training he can be
made to whip Schreck decisively inside
of twenty rounds. 1t was a toss-up until
the twentieth round. Harris hand was
not badly damaged until the nineteenth
round and had he been able to continue
Two or three rounds more he might have
won. as nature was about ready to col
lapse with Schreck. II was a tough. will
ing, gruelling, game contest, between
from finer points or scientific stand
point of the game, but ii pleased i'm
mensely the people who were there.
The fight was evenly contested and
saved the sports. so they will be able to
draw a big crowd at the next one"
Bean continues and says he is doing
well and will probably be back in Salt
Lake about September.

A.A,U.TRACk MEET
IS POSTPONED
Rain Prevents Races-Big
Event, However, Will Come
Off Next Tuesday.

The scheduled A. A. L. meet at Wan
damere did not come off yesterday.
Rain caused the trouble. Although the
sun came out bright III the afternoon,
it was too late, the heavy rain of Sat
urday morning converting the track
into a puddle of water upon which it
would have been impossible to run.
meeting of the games committee
of the A. A. L. and the management
of Wandamere was neld, and it was
agreed to postpone the event until
Tuesday afternoon There was some
talk of postponing the meet until next
Saturday, but many of the athletes who
were entered would be unable to remain
in the city that long, so Tuesday was
named as a compromise.
Practically every sentrant will be able
to compete on this date and, with
couple of days sunshine between now
and Tuesday, the track can be put into
first-class condition.
Coach Joe Maddox leaves for Idaho
today but announced last evening that
all of his men would be on hand for
Tuesday. Several came in from the
mining camps yesterday morning.
where they have accepted positions
for the summer, but win be able TO re-
main over a couple of days.
The tryout for the relay four, which
did not take place on account of the
muddy track, will be held Monday
evening. This will allow all these men
TO be in the best of shape for the races
next day. as they will have a full
nights rest before the real test comes
off.
A number of people visited the park
yesterday afternoon to see the event
although it was posted around town in
conspicuous places Il at the meet was
off. This only goes to show the inter
est in the meet. and a big crowd is ex-
pected on Tue sday
