ROBBED HIS BEHEFACTOR
Harry Harding Confesses to Stealing
Money and Jewelry From
His Employer.

Harry Harding, who was brought to
Salt Lake from Murray last night and
locked in the county Jail, has confessed
that he ungratefully robbed Ira Ben
MON of Taylorsville, who had befriend-
ed him. Mr.. Bennion, while in Salt
Lake about two weeks ago, met Hard
ing in the street. The man was out of
work, hungry and penniless. AS Ben
Mon remembered seeing Harding in
Wyoming, where Bennion has some
wool growing interests, he told the man
that he could stay at his house at Tay-
louisville until he could find work
Harding accepted the invitation
promising to do the chores about Ben
MONS place for his board. 1t was ar
ranged for him to eat his meals in the
Bennion house and sleep IN the barn
Early yesterday morning, according to
his own confession, Harding left the
barn and crept into the house. the door
having been left unlocked He took a
SO gold piece and about "a in silver
from the pockets Of Mr. Bennion's trou-
sers. and also carried off 8 revolver. a
rife, and two gold rings belonging to
Miss Bennion.
He hid the rifle back of the barn. in
tending to return for it at some future
time, and then walked to Murray
reaching that place about o'clock in
the morning. He commenced to drink
soon after his arrival and was intox-
icated when Marshal Mike Mauss of
Murray took him into custody.
Before he was brought to the county
jail, he admitted that he had robbed his

AROUSED BY BURGL AR ALARM
Wagon Load of Police Surround Va
cant House, but Do Not Find
a Thief.

Light in the attic of the unoccupied
house at 4T5 Third avenue last night
caused a burglar scare which created d
great deal of excitement in the neigh
borhood. A woman who saw the lights
teiephoned to the police. Policeman
Gillespie was detailed to make an in
vestigation. When he saw the light
shining from a window on the third
floor, he became convinced that some
one was inside. Not caring to enter
without having all of the exits guarded,
he telephOned for assistance and a pa
troll wagon filled with policemen was
sent to the house. The policemen sur
rounded the place Then one of the
doors was forced open.
The house was searched from cellar to
garnet, but no intruders could be found.
Yet an incandescent electric light was
burning in one of the attic rooms. This
was hard to explain.
The police concluded that a passing
street car had Jared the incandeScent
burner and turned on the electric cur
rent. Before they left the house, they
made experiments which, they said,
showed that the light could be turned
on by shaking the burner.
The house is a large furnished dwell
ing for which A. Richter is the agent.
Mr.. Richter said last night that he had
rented the place to man named Cum
mings, but that Mr.. Cummings had not
yet moved in.

THIEVES ENTER
HOTEL ROOMS
Four Men Arrested Charged
With RObbing Guests at
Cliff House.
INTRUDERS WERE ARMED
WARNED GUESTS AGAINST MAX
ING ANY OUTCRY.

Four men were arrested in room
at the Cliff house at Main and Third
South streets, early yesterday morning,
on suspicion of having robbed w A.
Elliott and NJ. J. Sage, two railroad
men, who occupied room in the hotel
The suspects gave the names of Lee
Blend, w. H. Apperley, Edward Carroll
and George Howard.
Elliott and Sage were awakened
about o'clock yesterday morning by
four men who had crept into their room.
One of the intruders was armed with
a knife and another with a club. The
railroad men were commanded to keep
silent, while the thieves searched the
room, and, as an additional precaution
against their raising an Outcry, pillows
were placed over their heads. The
thieves secured a watch and about $3.50.
Elliott and Sage are not certain OF the
amount taken.
After the departure of the robbers
the railroad men went out in search
of policemen. They found Policemen
Bush and Barker, who, acting upon
information they received, went to the
room occupied by the four suspects
and placed them under arrest.
The stolen watch was not found. but
on the roof of the hotel the watch
chain and some receipts taken from the
pockets of the railroad men were pick
ed up by the policemen.
Later in the day Detective Shannon
was detailed to investigate the case.
He questioned the four suspects. They
told conflicting stories, which deepened
the conviction of the police that they
had had something to do with the early
morning robbery.
Blend said that he had known How
ard for three years; Howard declared
that he had met Blend for the first
time on Friday. Apperiey declared that
he was a marble pOlisher. but said that
he had not worked at the trade for
eight years. In the next breath he
stated that he was % years old. Car
roll said that he had been drinking and
went into the room occupied by the
other three men to sleep. He said that
he did not know what had happened
during the night.

PLAIN GLYCERINE AND
VERY old AT THAT
Stuff Unearthed Near Penitentiary
Was Buried at Least Five
Years Ago.

Glycerine, buried five years. Whewi
This was the comment of one of the
guards at the penitentiary on the rather
but mendacious story, pub
lished yesterday, of a plot to blow up
the state penitentiary.
'If there ever was such a plot" he
continued, sit was Matched so long ago
that it has had time to grow long gray
whiskers. 1t is true that some bottles
were found buried in the penitentiary
grounds and that the bottles contained
glycerine, just plain glycerine- The con-
dition of the bottles showed that they
had been buried a long time
The facts are as follows: While some
convicts at the state penitentiary were
digging a posthole on the penitentiary
grounds, they unearthed five bottles
containing glycerine. Their condition
showed that they had been buried for
years.
State Chemist Harms analysed the
contents of the bottles. He reported
that they contained glycerine and ex-
pressed the opinion that the glycerine
was intended for use in the manufac-
ture of nitro-glycerine.
1t was upon this opinion of the chem
list that the startling story of d plot to
blow up the penitentiary was based
1t was even said that Abe Majors and
Joe Sullivan were suspected of being
the originators of the plot.
Indications are that the bottles of
glycerine were buried before Joe Sulli-
van began his first term of imprison-
ment five years ago, and before Abe
Majors ever saw the prison.
Detective Janney, who was formerly a
guard at the penitentiary, says that
about five years ago the prison author
tiles learned that glycerine had been
cached near the penitentiary. The bot
ties recently discovered must have been
buried at that time
In the prison there are conviets who
profess to be able to manufacture nitro
glycerine. But much of such talk is
mere bravadO.
To make the explosive, the convicts
would have required nitric acid With
out this, the glycerine remained nothing
more formidable than a cure for
chapped hands.

1t appears to be the determination
of the United States Smelling com
pany to abide by the action of the
courts in its smelling operation, and,
for the present at least, to enter into
no further negotiations with the farm
eTs of the valley, whose lands and
crops. 18th as been alleged, have been
from
the stacks of its plant.
At a meeting held Monday night at
Sandy a committee of five was ap-
pointed to confer with the officials of
the United States company with regard
10 arranging a basis of an agreement
whereby the smelter might run with
out further interference on the part
OF the farmers. This committee con-
sisted of c. c. Grape of Sandy, ]. A
Walker OF Union. c. L. Gaufin of Bing-
ham Junction, W W. Wilson of Sandy
and Heber A. Smith of Draper
On the following day some of the
members of this committee called on
George NJ. RhOades the Superintendent
at Bingham Junction, and rendered the
good offices of the committee in bring
ing about an amicable understanding
Mr.. Rhoades informed the committee
men that their offer could not be ac-
cepted at that time, but that later it
was likely that il Alight be-
w. w. Wilson, who presided at the
Sandy meeting, said yesterday that
this, in effect, was the result of the
action taken. Mr.. RhOadeS informed
the members of the committee who
waited on him as the representatives
of the whole committee that he ap-
preciated the offer. but that his COM
pany could not at this time accept it.
Mr.. RnOadeS informed the delega ton
that it was quite likely that at a later
time date the offer might be accepted -
The United States smelter people will
rely on the court to grant them d
modification of the injunction. The
court in its decree stated that when
il could be shown to the satisfaction
of the court that the smoke was not
injurious a modification might be ap-
piled for.
The rejection on the part of Super
intendent Rhoades of the offer of the
farmers committee is taken to mean
that the smelter is prepared to put to
the utmost test the efficacy of it's bag
house and battles in removing poison
Gus matter from the gases and to cease
dealing with the farmers directly, as
has heretofore been the case.
