MAN WITH CHECK ARRESTED
Edward Morgan Attempts to Pass
Paper Believed to Be Worth
less

Edward Morgan, who claims to be
a railroad man. was arrested last night
about 10 o'clock as he was running
from the Albany saloon, at Second
South and Fifth West streets, after at
tempting to pass what is believed to
be a worthless check.
Morgan approached the Bartender and
told him that he was a canvasser for
the Columbia Photograph comp any. He
asked the bartender to cash a check for
$3.50, signed by j. P. Jones, man
ager of the Columbia Photograph COM
pany," and made payable to j. john
son. It is alleged that he declared that
he was J. Johnson and that the check
was good.
The bartender, seeing Policeman Yea
ger outside. managed to slip out of the
saloon and ask what the policeman
thought of the stranger Yeager called
up George H. Hirschvogel of the Co
lumbia company. who stated that he
did not know a man named j. p. Jones.
Policeman Yeager then entered the sa-
loon and questioned Morgan. The man
became frightened and attempted to
run away. He was overtaken outside
of the saloon and arrested.
When searched at police headquarters
il was found that he had an unusual
amount of small silver in his posses
sion.

More snow fell last night to add to
the depth of the heaviest snowfall in
Salt Lake this winter. Residents of
the city and adjacent points awoke
yesterday morning to plOd through
eight inches of sticky white. 1t melted
rapidly and was quickly reduced TO "a
condition of muddy slush, disagreeable
to contemplate. During the day much
of thes now melted from the sidewalks
and ran into the cutters. so that the
homeward way of pedestriansl was
somewhat more comfortable than the
morning journey downtown, but last
nights contribution has left the side
walks again covered with material for
this mornings slush.
The weight of the snow upon tele-
phone telegraph and electric light wires
caused fear that some of the lines
would break down, as they sagged ON
inously during the early hours of the
day The different companies, how
ever. reported that they suffered less
inconvenience from the snow than was
aDprehended.
In a few places there was interfer-
ence with the electric light and tele-
phone wires, but in the main the serv-
ice throughout the city was satisfac-
tory.
To the farmers throughout the en-
vironing regions. the snowfall was de-
clared TO be a blessing. There was no
complaint among the country people
who drove into the city during the
day with Undiscovered teams and We
hicles. To them the snow meant so
much that bad roads and wet feet sank
into insignificance.
Those who hailed the snow with
greatest delight in Salt Lake were the
school children and the crowds of idle
men. The children were glad, because
opportunity was offered for SNOWFALL
battles and the usual pranks of snowy
weather The idle men were glad be-
cause they could desert the soup kitch-
ems and pick up the dimes and quar-
ters bestowed upon them for shovel
ing off tie sidewalks. There was
considerable falling off among the ap-
plicants for food at the soup kitchens
last night The snowfall had enriched
the homeless men to such an extent that
almost all of them were able to en-
joy the luxury of a square meal in
restaurant
The street railway lines were able to
furnish the usual service, despite the
snow. Long before the days traffic be-
gan, the tracks were swept and when
the crowds headed for down town APP
peared, there was nothing to delay the
cars.
The weight of the snow caused a tele-
phone wire to fall in South Seventh
East street, between Third and Fourth
South streets. yesterday morning. In
falling. the wire came i'm contact with
the trolley wire in the street. A horse
belonging to a team attached to a wag-
on of the Royal Clothing company
stepped upon the wire about II O'Clock
i'm the morning and was instantly kill
ed. The other horse escaped unhurt.

they found that this was due to the fact
that the digestive organs of the negro had
never been impaired. and that they were
able at all times to take care of the coarse
foods that were taken into the stomach.
The negroes food is of the plainest kind
and is seldom if ever cooked. 1t is eaten
as it is found. with but little preparation.
The cause of unsOund and imperfect
teeth found among civilized people is due
to two important facts-the prevalence of
dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach trou-
bles, and the food we eat
In the foods that we eat there is a lack Of
phosphates and other materials necessary
TO make repairs and supply the waste in
the teeth.
Then again few people in civilized coun-
tries are free from dyspepsia. which in

CONRIED CEASES
TO Be DIRECTOR
important Change in the Man.
agement of Metropolitan
Opera House Company.
VANDERBILT BUYS SHARES
MANAGERS PLACED ON SALA.
RIEs HEREAFTER.

~ New York, Feb. 1.-THE resignation
of Heinrich Conried as director of the
Metropolitan opera House company
was accepted today at meeting of the
directors of the company, held in the
library of J. Pierpont Morgan, and the
announcement was made tonight that
Mr.. Conried would be succeeded by
Julio Gatt Casazza, director of La
Scala, Milan, Italy, and Andreas Dip
pei German tenor. who has sung at
the Metropolitan for a number of
years. The two directors are to have
equal power, Gatti Casazza as general
manager and DIPPED as administrative
manager.
The reason given by Mr.. Conried for
his retirement from the active manage
ment OF the affairs Of the company is
ill-health.
Retires at Once.
While his resignation does not go
into effect until May Conductor Gus
tave Mailer, director of the Court
Opera house i'm Vienna, who has been
conducting here this season. viii take
active. direction of the company until
the end of the season. To assist him
the directors of the Metropolitan have
engaged SignOr TOscanini, the conductor
lof La Scala, Milan. MAILER and Tos-
fcanini will act as joint directors.
, Mr.. Conried also retires from the
presidency of the opera company, and
his holdings in the concern have been
purchased by William X. Vanderbilt.
The company. while retaining its cor
porate entity, has changed its title TO
that of the Metropolitan Opera COM
pany, and has leased the Metropolitan
Opera house for a term of five years,
beginning June /, 1908.
Managers on Salary
The policy of having the managers
share in thep rofits of the season will
at the end of this season be dropped
and they will be placed on salaries.
The benefit performance for the man
ager will be abolished. Another radical
change in the financial policy of the
company was decided upon at the meet
ing today After small dividend has
been declared on the stock, the re-
mainder of the profits will be devoted
10 an endowment or pension fund, or
to some similar purpose The end OF
each season one or two benefit per-
formances will be given TO increase this
fund. To compensate Mr. COnried for
the loss entailed by his retirement from
the opera company, the directors voted
sum of money, which it is believed
viii equal the amount of his salary,
and share of the profits for the re-
Snaining three years Of his five-year
Contract.
= Gatti Casazza stands high in the
ranks of operate directors, as for ten
years he has been general manager and
stage director of La Scala. the recog-
nized home of music in Italy. While
manager of La Scala, Gatti CasaZza
produced operas in French, German and
Italian. with great success.
Andreas DIPPED has had wide eX-
perience in operate affairs. A tenor
of marked merit, he has sung at the
Metropolitan for many years in German,
French and Italian roles. His expert
ence and his knowledge of the tradt-
tions of the Metropolitan resulted in his
selection.
