by sales of stocks in continuation of

marpet and felt obliged to turn aeain

inference was drawn of strength on

the subsidence of selling pressure on

argued from the eagerness of the sell

TO CLOSE AT.
SALT LAKE.
This is Considered
Definitely Deter
mined.-PeriOd
Is In Doubt

SALT LAKE. Jan. 24-As the last
week in the month approaches 1t be-
comes more and more certain that the
smelling works of the United States
company will be closed down tight
According to the courts mandate, the
company only has until Wednesday
night to clean up and draw its fires,
ard there is nothing on the surface
to indicate other than that the order
will be obeyed II is not presumed
that any real objection will result If
ii is found necessary to keep going
for day or two longer. or until the
cad of the month, but that, so far as
il is possible to learn, will be the
limit. The large Office force is look
ing glum, and 1t Is natural to suppose
that the 900 or more men who are
directly connected with the operation
of the plant are not particularly elat-
ed over the. prospects, either.
No one seems TO know what the
Plans of the company really are. w.
G Sharp, president of the company,
has steadfastly declined to make a
statement of any kind since coming
out from the east. and it now looks
as though the works would close and
the president go east again.
For some reason or another, how
ever. it is next to impossible to find
a mining man who believes that the
United States company's works are
going to remain closed for long.
Some place the idle period at week
and none of them figure it at over
90 days Ask them why and they
are "stumped" other than that most
e them declare that if the Ameri-
can plant runs. the United States
Plant will be run, also. after the
situation has been cleared up, what
ever is meant by that.

Recovery Soon

Eastern adyices yesterday indicat-
ed market on which money was "A

being carried at every opportunity.
Every slight advance was met with
selling orders which sent figures back
down. There is no evidence. how

carry this manner of procedure to
point that will result in serious
break. On the other hand IL looks
as If any hour might bring the end
OF the movement and substitution of
one which will make for a firm and
steady advance in the price of stocks.

TWO COMPOSERS
WROTE SAME SONG,
COURT BELIEVES
Judge Holt Thinks Writer of
"Smarty" May Not Have
Heard Rivals Chorus.

Judge Holt, in memorandum nled to-
day In the United States Circuit Court
denied the application of Myra s.
Parker, who has a copyright covering
the chorus OF the song The School
Playground" for a preliminary injunc-
ton against Albert Won Tilzer and
Jacob l.. Gum because of the close
similarity of the chorus OF the song
called "Smarty" published by the de-
PENDANTS.
Holding that the actual determination
OF tho questions involved should be left
for final hearing. Judge Hollis mernoran-
dunn reads as follows:
1T Is hard for me TO believe that Won
TEzer had not heard the chorus of
The School Playground before he
wrote the chorus of 'Smarty,' although
he may have forgotten hearing 1t and
have unconsciously adopted It, But a
large number of musical experts OF
GOOD standing have made affidavits for
the defendants and assert that 1t is an
ttrely possible for Won Tilzer to have
written the chorus of 'Smarty' without
having heard that Of The School Play
ground
THE object in each case was to write
a chorus in a simple style of music ap-
proprdats for childrens song. and II
II Is ever possible for two composers to
independe emily compose the same air ttas
is such case"
