COMPLETE CONSOLIDATION
Steps Toward This End Will Be
Taken at Rio Grande Meeting
in Denver Today.

Steps to complete the consolidation of
the Rio Grande Western and the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad lines will be taken
today in Denver. The consolidation will
include the six Utah subsidiary lines,
whose stockholders met in Salt Lake last
Monday and consented to the merger, and
several colorado lines controlled by the
Gould interests.
The Denver & Rio Grande stockholders,
at today's meeting. will be asked TO au-
thorize a new refunding mortgage to Sc
cure S150000.000 bonds.
The question of separating the Utah
Fuel company and the Rio Grande West
ern viii not be considered at the meeting.
The stock OF the Utah Fuel company is
owned by the Rio Grande Western. There
is a provision of the interstate commerce
act which forbids railroads owning, di-
rectly or indirectly. coal mines engaged
in interstate business. The section of the
law is now being tested by the Reading
railroad to determine its constitutionality
If the law is sustained the Rio Grande
Western will have to dispose of its Utah
Fuel company stock

SAYS SHE IS STARVING
Mary K. Schmidt Applies for Di-
vorce Charging Cruelty and
Non-Support.

Mary X Schmidt wants a divorce from
Frank J. Schmidt because he is starving
her TO death
In her complaint filed yesterday the
wife says that she has only been fur
nshed on the average of 81 a week to
run the household and. clothe herself and
child. AS result she has become great
ly emaciated and weakened and she feels
that her life is in constant jeopardy.
Mrs. Schmidt also asserts that her nus
band has abused her and often found
fault with her for not providing more
food for him. but that he has been TO
blame. as he has not furnished the means
with which to buy proper things for the
family table.
On several occasions she says Schmidt
has come home drunk and while in that
condition accused her of being unfit to be
his wife She also complains of his fault
finding and constant nasging," and says
that il has been responsible in a measure
for her present weakened condition.
Schmidt is barber and the wife says
he owns property valued at $3.50, be-
sides $500 in the bank and a home at
II West Third South street valued at
81 900 The wife asks that he be restrained

said, and the Bryan demonstration was
the widest thing of the kind that / ever
witnessed. There was also the best of
feeling manifested among the delegates"
The feature of the convention from Mr..
Christensen's point of view was the
speech of Representative Bell
The Elks' reunion at Dallas, he says,
was huge success. The people of Dali
las acquitted themselves admirably in
entertaining the Elks. and won the praise
of every visitor and delegate.
During the sessions of the grand lodge
there was much important business
transacted" said Mr.. Christensen. "A
new ritual was adopted for Flag day.
likewise a new funeral service. There
was an amendment TO the constitution by
which all past exalted rulers of the order
are made members of the grand lodge"
On his way home he stopped over at
Colorado Springs and saw Republican
National Chairman Hitchcock. He says
that II Is the intention of the chairman
to bring the fight TO the west, and that
the Colorado meeting will enthuse the
party as nothing else can.
Speaking of his own affairs. he stated

WILL TAX LEVY
BE INCREASED?
Such a Step Will Be Difficult if
Bond Issue Is
Carried.

The argument has been advanced
against the bond issue that even If the
people vote in their favor the council will
go back on it's word and raise the tax
rate.
1t is said that Mayor Bransford cannot
avoid this contingency. as the "Ameri-
cam members will go back on their word
just as they did in the Devine matter
and vote for an increased levy.
The law provides that the council must
fix the tax rate before Aug. / of each
year. The bond election occurs on July
90 and the council must wait until the
fate of the bonds is decided before
levy can intelligently be made.
Starting with the supposition that the
bonds carry. the council will have
meeting on July 30 and fix the levy This
is done by ordinance, and must be ap-
proved by the mayor
Surprising, again. that the majority of
the council should see fit to make the
levy 10 mills This would go to the
mayor and be promptly vetoed, as the
mayor has promised the people that the
levy will not be increased If the bonds
are voted.
In the event Of a veto the council would
have to convene again on July 81 10
consider the veto. 1t takes ten votes to
pass an ordinance over the veto of the
mayor, and there are only nine Ameri-
can" councilmen. Unless one of the mi
nority should join in a conspiracy, 1t
would be absolutely impossible to make
tax levy of more than Is mills stick.
J. B. Moreton, city recorder, is making
active preparations for the bond election.
The polling places have already been des-
ignated and the judges will be chosen at
a special meeting of the council this
evening.
1t is expected that a large vote will be
polled as considerable interest has been
aroused by the various mass meetings,
and both sides are making an active cam
paign.
The only topic of conversation about
the joint building where the politicians
hang out is the bond issue. On the city
side everybody of course favors the
bonds On the state and county side the
sentiment is against it,

WITH ACTORINE
"Her One Great Sin" as Por-
trayed by Leading Lady a
Spicy Performance.

Florence Stanley has been playing the
leading role in Her One Great Sim all
season. but the rest of the members Of
the cast did not fathom the depths OF
her iniquity until yesterday afternoon,
when Miss Stanley, her dog and Louis
Dayton a favored member of the com
pany, departed on the 3 o'clock Rio
Grande train for Denver. taking all the
available assets of the company with her.
Theodore Marston, manager of Her.
One Great Sin company. and husband Of
Miss Stanley whom he featured in the
production. is at present in Denver, where
he went on Monday ostensibly to secure
booking on the -Pelton & Shutter circuit.
For the past two weeks the Her One
Great Sin company has been playing the
towns of the state. During that time the
ghost of the company mas not walked. in
fact he has not even taken a hesitating
step. After playing Pennington Thursday
night Miss Florence informed the other
members CT the company that Mr.. Mars
ton would arrive in Salt Lake Friday and
would pay all salaries Immediately on his
arrival. Mr. MarsJon did not appear at IL

expected, and during the afternoon, Les

train left the station.
After a hurried consultation with the
other members of the company, Miss
Ober who is well known in Salt Lake,
sought Judge Dana T.. Smith and after
the case had been laid before him the
sheriff of Emery county was notified 10
intercept the escaping couple at Green
River, Utah and to bring Miss Stanley
back to Salt Lake. In the meantime the
members of the company are anXiOuSly

high hopes are entertained of apprehend-

ders of the state.
Mr. Mitchell stated last night none of
the members of the company would have
complained if the company had not
drawn enough mnney at the box office
to meet all salaries. but that the company
was a small one. the expenses light and
the business done by Her One Great Sin
exceptionally good. The members of the
company state that Miss Florence had at
least $500 to $500 in her possession when
she boarded the train.
