PARK CLOSED TO PUBLIC
Pioneer Square From Some I'm
known Reason Is Kept
Closely Fenced.

Pioneer park, although the oldest
park in Salt Lake, for some unknown
reason is almost inaccessible to the
public because the city administration
in its superior wisdom has seen fit to
maintain a wire fence at each of the
corner entrances. The park is located
between Third and Fourth South
streets, between Second and Third
West streets, and is admirably adapted
for a children's playground. During
the summer man is kept there to cut
the grass, but that is the only atten-
ton the park ever receives.
Many of the citizens in the neighbor-
hood are Disguised with the policy of
the authorities in keeping the entrance
closed, and there has never been any
reason given why they should be. The
claim is made that this is done to pre-
vent teams from driving through, using
the park roadway as short cut and
thus spelling it. and that entrance may
be gained through holes in the hedge
which surrounds the block. The people
say that it is all right to keep the
teams out, but that an entrance at the
corners could be made which would
prevent teams from driving through
and at the same time allow the chill
dren and others DESTROYS of using the
park to find easy access to it.

The decorations of the new cafe are
to be simple, though rich. Across one
end of the restaurant will be hung the
art collection of Don II. Porter, pro-
prietOr of the hotel. In front of these
pictures will be thrown a sash without
glass. The lights in this end of the
restaurant will be so thrown on the
sash and the pictures SO as to give the
effect of distance. On looking through
the sash at the works of art the dis
lance is extremely deceptive and the
lectures appear to be far away.
Another improvement which has
been decided upon is the recOnstTuC-
ton and charging of the office of the
hotel. The plans provide for an office
with a floor space 72x60 feet. The pres
ent office will be rebuilt with a beau
tiful rotunda and balcony. Two new
electric eleva tors will be installed. The
new elevators will be built while the
present elevator is in operation. 1t
will be removed when the new eieva-
tors are started.
At a meeting yesterday between Don
H. Porter proprietor of the hotel. rep
resentatives of the Salisbury estate,
the owners of the building and A. Klet-
ting, the architect, the plans were ap-
proved and the work will begin at
once. Already bids for the different
work to be done are being received.
Because of the determination of the
management of the hotel not to close
the place, the work will proceed slowly.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-11-17

Plans were approved yesterday for
the altering and improving of the Ken
yon hotel at a cost approximating a
quarter of a million dollars. The new
plans contemplate the charging and
altering of the hotel without closing
it for a single day. This will be some
what difficult to do. but the manage
ment is preparing to have the plans
carried out with as little inconvenience
to the patrons of the hotel as possible.
The installation of the largest cafe
in Salt Lake. and one of the largest in
the United States, is one of the fea-
lures of the enlargement planned. The
cafe will be in the, basement of the
hotel, occupying a space of l01XSS feet.
The kitchen of the cafe will be 54X60
feet. In architectural design the new
restaurant will be modelled after the
Indian grill in the Alexandra hotel in
Los Angeles. The new Kenyon cafe,
however. will be much larger.
By arches and pillars the new res
taurant will be divided into three parts,
a rathSkellar. a general restaurant and
a ladies' grill. The design is such that
there will be in the new restaurant in
Vulnerable cosy hooks where tables
can be placed practically concealed
from view. The floor of the restaurant
viii be of thing of a beautiful design,
and that of the kitchen of smooth con-
crete. The two floors will cost over
$4,000.

LOCKED IN FREIGHT CAR AS JOKE,
GEORGE NEAL Is CARRIED WEST

A week, more or less, in a freight car,
locked in and unable to communicate his
predicament to those who might release
him. George Neal of Evanston, ILL.,, came
to the west, to be rescued Dy Stranger,
a hobo"
Several weeks ago Neal was engaged,
in company with others, in loading q
freight car. While occupied in this work
his mates conceived the notion that 1t
would be a fine joke TO lock him IN, and
acted on the suggestion.
A switch engine came along ana
whisked the car away, and presently it
was on its way westward. For three
DAYS George Neal knew the pangs OF
hunger and thirst, but on the fourth his
mind grew dim, so that he grasped the
situation only in hazy. murky sort of
way, and after that he didn't know any
thing.
George Neal was an employee of the
WESTINGHOUSE company at Chicago. and
still is, for the matter of that, When
he was locked in the freight car in Chi
cago he wore a suit of overalls; when
he was discovered by a hobo" who him.

he had found dead one"

money was sent to Salt Lake as re-
quested, but George Neal never got il
because by the time he arrived in Salt
Lake the Geographic transfer had beer

overalls and little else, and in state OF

The main part of he hotel will be re-
built first. The entire section of the
hotel will be gone over, redecorated and
reconstructed. Hot and cold running
water will be placed in every room,
and more baths added. AS soon as this
part of the hotel is completed, the new
part and then the annex will be re-
built in the same manner.
When the remodeling of the rooms
of the entire hotel has been COM
pleted, the cafe will be constructed in
the basement and the office enlarged
and remOdeled. With the completion of
the improvements planned the Kenyon
hotel will be one of the finest hostel
ries in the west. 1t will contain 321
rooms. which will all be modern in
every respect.
The original plans for the alteration
of the Kenyon contemplated the cree
ton of an eight-story building on the
site of the present structure. While
these plans have not been entirely
abandoned, the enlargement proposed
will not be made at present. The walls
of the hotel were examined, however.
by experts, who gave it as their opin-
ion that two stories could be added to
the annex without endangering in any
way the solidity of the structure. AS
soon as the present alterations decided
upon are made. it is probable that two
or more stories will be added to the
hotel, although this enlargement is not
included in the present plans.

OGDEN WOMAN GETS FATHERS ESTATE
THROUGH MEDIUM OF HERALD AID

Information as to relatives of John
Caine, formerly of this city and Og-
den, who recently died in California.
Said John Game has valuable securities
in the possession of this company, and
the information is desired in order that
his relatives may get the benefit of
same. Salt Lake Security & Trust Co"
A six-line advertisement in the
classified columns of The Herald has
brought a snug sum of money to an
Ogden woman. The story is an inter
esting one. About twelve years ago a
man named John Caine handed $1,000
to F. E. McGurrin. then doing an in
vestment banking business in the Atlas
block, and asked him to care for it.
By judicious handling, the original
amount was more than doubled, and
various amounts were drawn by Mr..
Game from time to time. About two
months ago Mr.. Game died in south
ern California, leaving a request that
his body be sent to Mr.. McGurrin for
burial. This was done, and the inter
ment was had in Mt. Olivet cemetery.
The Salt Lake Security & Trust COM
pany, of which Mr.. McGurrin is presi-
dent, was appointed administrator of
the estate, and a diligent inquiry was
made for heirs who would be entitled
to the money.
Mr.. Caine was very reticent and &C.
centric man. He once told Mr.. McGur-
rim that he had been born in the Isle
of Man. but beyond this had never
spoken a word of his antecedents or
family. Finally, Mr.. McGurrin insert
ed an ad in The Herald, and a few
days afterward a claimant appeared in
the person of Mrs. T.. NJ. Buckley Of
ogden, who stated that she was a
daughter of the deceased. Her mother
came with her, but. as she had been

REPLY COUPON IN EFFECT
Postal Regulations Make 1t Easier to
Intercommunicate With Core
spondents in Foreign Lands.

An entirely new departure has been
taken by the postoffice department
in connection with postal union rates.
The department has provided what 1t
calls a reply coupon. The cost is 6
cents. The recipient of the letter in
any of the countries in the postal
union may take the coupon to his post
office and receive therefor the equiva-
lent of 3 cents in stamps.
Heretofore the person in the old coun-
try. for instance, has been compelled to
pay money for his stamps, which, in
many cases was not easy to do. With
the reply coupon system. the person in
the old country may receive return
postage and thus the mail service in its
Accommodation will be extended
and enlarged and people who cannot
afford to answer letters will be saved
the expense of the return stamp.

DEFERS ACTION
IN DAYS CASE
Pardon Board Will Decide Fate
of Murderer on NoVem-
Der so.
OTHER PETITIONS HEARD
ROSE ROLLEY, SENTENCED FROM
WEBER COUNTY, PARDoNED.

The state board of pardons yester-
day postponed consideration of the ap-
plication Of Albert T. Day, the con-
demned murderer, that his sentence be
committed to life imprisonment until
November 30. The postponement was
taken at the request of W. w Little
and w. l.. Dunn, attorneys for the
condemned man, who stated to the
board that they were not prepared at
this time to present their case as fully
as they might desire.
According to a previous announce
ment the firm of Dickson, Ellis & Ellis
has become interested In the case and
will probably appear before the board
in Days behalf. A strenuous effort is
being made to round up the jury which
tried the murderer and have the jurors
sign a petition recommending leniency.
Woman Is Pardoned.
Only one pardon was granted and
that was in the case of Rose Rolley,
sentenced from Weber county, April
10, 1907, to one year in the peniten-
tiary. The pardon was granted upon

and District Attorney Halverson.
Johannes KOoyman, sentenced from
Weber county, May 10, 1907, to two
years for larceny was granted a pa
role, the judge and district attorney
also recommending mercy in this case.

UNIVERSITY CLUB IS HOME
North Dakota Boys Had Fine Tine
In Winnipeg and Pembina on
TrfD Last Week.

The members of the North Dakota
University Glee club returned to
Grand Forks on Saturday evening after
three days trip north.
The Glee club is making an inter-
national reputation. The concerts at
Pembina and Winnipeg brought many
encomiums from both press and peo-
pie. Especially good was the recep-
ton by the people of Winnipeg
by the weather, for that was reported
as twenty-five below zero at p. nj.
Friday, and there was a beautiful gale
blowing Saturday morning. But the
audience Friday night was apprecia-
tive and enthusiastic, and the Young
Mems club Of Winnipeg, under the
auspices of which the Glee club APP
peared. not only treated the boys
royalty, but presented Mrs. Stout with
a fine bouquet of American beauties,
and entertained the officials of the
club at luncheon.
Those who made the trip were:
First Tenors-Buckwalter. Griffith,
Webb and White.
Second Tenors-Selby, Richie,
Wright and Buckwalter.
Baritones-Comfort, Miller, Wealth
erwax and Smell.
Second Bass-Stout, Taylor, Mckay
and Pease with Mrs. Stout as pianist.
Financially the trip just about paid
expenses.
