MAYORS DISCUSS PROBLEM
Lively Argument Between Exponents
of Prohibition and Those of
High License.
Especial to The Herald.

Nephi. Nov. 21.-The mayors mu1
nicipaI convention was held here to-
day, with E. w. Robinson. president
of the Municipal league, in the chair.
T. r. Foote of Nephi acted as secre-
tary. The roll-caH showed about fifty
delegates from the different cities of
the state, mostly mayors. Mayor Pet
tigreW of Nephi delivered the address
of welcome Mayor Robinson of Logan
in delivering his annual address spoke
of the many benefits to be derived
from these meetings, told why Utaa
was so backward in municipal improve
ments. which was owing to the fact
that our streets were so wide and our
blocks so long, and in many cases so
sparsely settled that the expense IN
improvements vas so great that prog
ress was made slowly. and incidentally
took fall out of the knockers" who
were forever finding fault with every
thing done or undOne.
One of the most important papers
read was one on municipal engineering,
by City Engineer Parker of Ogden.
This evening a spirited discussion on
prohibition VS.. high license was held
in the tabernacle before a crowded
house. Mayor Hall of SpringviIle led
the discussion for the prohibitionists,
and in course of his remarks took oc-
casion to criticize Provo for its wide
open policy, tolerating gambling, etc.
This brought Mayor Frisbie to his feet,
who resented the attacks of Mr.. Hall on
behalf of Provo, saying that the cit
liens of Provo were a law-abiding class
and the only real menace they had TO
contend with was the drug stores.
Mayor Munson of Mount Pleasant also
favored high license. Mayor PettigreW
was nOn-cOmmittal, simply favoring a
strict enforcement of the law.

That "OId Arkansaw'' has lost none OF
its popularity by a years absence was
clearly demonstrated at the Grand thea
tire last evening by a large and apprecia-
tive audience. There is nothing in the
story of old Arkdnsaw'' to offend the
most fastidious, but there is enough COM
edy of the clean-cut variety, and just a
taste of the melOdrama, in the play to
make il intensely interesting and a de-
cidedly enjoyable evening can be spent
in watching the play now on at the Sec
Ond South playhouse.
''Old Arkansaw.'' as portrayed by VIII
lard Dashiell, is very interesting char
acter, and many of his quaint sayings are
worthy of emulation. The various char
acte-s are in capable hands. and the play
goes with a dash and vim that is refresh
ing. Following is the cast;

WAGNER CASE GOES OVER,
Boy Husband Engages Lawyer and
Secures Continuance.

Persons interested in the Wagner
wife beating case filled the police court
yesterday afternoon when Charles
Wagner, the boy husband, was called
to receive sentence.
Mrs. Celia Wagner, the wife, was in
court, having been summoned to tell
her side of the story, Wagner having
pleaded guilty to the charge.
Wagner asked for a continuance until
today, saying that he had employed a
lawyer to take charge of his side of the
case.
Mrs. Wagner objected to the continu-
ance, saying that she found it incCn-
venient to make visits to the police
court.
Mrs. Wagner, a young-loOking woman
of 40, was stylishly clad. Wagner pre-
scented the appearance of a sandy
haired STRIPPING.
Judge Diehl decided to continue the
case until this afternoon.

SPEAKER HAS NO
CURRENCY PLAN
Prefers to Wait Until He
Hears From Roosevelt Be-
fore Venturing Opinion.
THINKS PANIC NEARLY OVER
NEW YORK MUST RESUME PAY.
MENT FIRST.

Washington. Nov. 21.-Speaker Jo-
seph G. Cannon of the national house
of representatives arrived here this
evening and will remain for the coming
session of congress. The speaker will
confer with members of congress as
they arrive in regard to the organiza-
ton of the new house.
Tonight Speaker Cannon said he
would call at the White House within
a day or two to pay his respects to the
president. He took occasion to deny
a report that the president had sum-
moned him TO Washington at this time
to discuss financial legislation, but,
speaking to a representative of the As
ISOLATED Press, Mr.. Cannon carefully
outlined his views on the financial sit
nation.
Many Financial Schemes.
Many people have in mind that i'm
mediate legislation should be enacted
touching the currency question" said
Mr.. Cannon. land there are almost as
many schemes presented as there are
individuals 10 present them There
are, however, very few, if any. who
could put in black and white legisla-
ton amending our currency laws that
would be sufficiently clear TO the man
who wrote the amendment or to the
great mass of the people. Congress
will meet on the second day of Decem-
Der. and the question Of what legisla-
tion is practicable no doubt will be pre-
scented to both houses. l don't care at
this time to suggest my opinion, in de-
tail. as to what legislation should be
enacted I prefer to await the recon-
1nendations of the president. the secre-
fary of the treasury and the action of
the appropriate committees of the nous
and senate.
Riches OF the Masses.
THE masses in the United States
were never so rich as they are today
The cotton, the corn, the wheat, the
meats produced this year and now
awaiting marketing are of the value
of at least SO, 900, 600, 900. and the people
who produced these products are sub
stantially out of debt. There is de-
mand for the great bulk of the prod
ucts of the United States, and there is
a demand for all that we have to spare
of the products in the markets of the
world at extraordinary high prices.
These products cannot start TO market
because of the currency panic or fam
inc. They will begin to go to the mar
ket the moment the banks resume pay
ment of their obligations.
New York Must Resume First.
New York-the great clearing house
of the United States-was the first TO
suspend payment of currency. 1t must
be the first to resume payment of cur
rency. and the moment New York re
sumes that will unlock the thousand
millions of currency, thereby restoring
credit. In addition to this it will re-

This Country.

Washington. - Statistics issued at
the close OF the year 1906 show that
here were in use in the United States
alone more than 100000 telephones,
while an aggregate of a little more
than 100000 miles of wire was used
for telephone service.
The telephone industry gives en-
plcyment to 10000 persons in the
United States. an increase of III per
cent in six years, while during the
same period the number OF stations
mas increased 239 per cent. and the
wire mileage $40 per cent.
There is little doubt that much Of
his increase is due TO the general
adoption of the so-called message rate
system in place Of the fiat annual
charge formerly in vogue. BY making
he charges proportional to the num-
Der OF calls the use OF the telephone
has been widely extended both be-
cause OF the greater willingness Of
people to become subscribers under
such conditions and because the sys-

HOW NEW WORLD GOT ITS NAME.
Albany Man Tells Story on 4ooth An
niVersary Of the Event.

Paris.-John Boyd Thacher, Of Al
bany, on Sunday mentioned the fact
that 1t was the four hundredth ami
vcrsary OF the naming of America.
He said that No attempt had ever been
made to commemorate the event and
added:
The new world was named Ameri-
ca in a httle book written by Martin
Waldseemueller. printed at Saint Die,
in the Eosges mountain, on the
seventh OF the kalends OF May in the
year 1907. The seventh OF the kalends
Of May when corrected by the Gre
gorian calendar becomes May s.
There was also an element OF uni
versatility in the ceremony OF naming.
for it was German who proposed the
name. it was an Italian name, the
book was printed in France and the
language employed was Latin, the uni
versal medium of mental exchanges.
Il may be too late to celebrate the
event. but It should not be too late
to recall the fact that the new world
received its name just 400 years ago"
