SURPRISES ARE MANY.
Unmasking at Elks' Masquerade
Filled With Revelations.

At the Elks' masquerade ball last
evening two hundred people enjoyed
one of the most delightful events of the
season. Nearly every one present was
in fancy dress and the spectacle was
decidedly picturesque, the highly col
ored fantastic garbs making a PRETTY
tinted picture, ever changing as the
dancers glided about
When the unmasking came, the sur
priseS were many. No one suspected
that the lady in the japanese pajama
costume was Mrs. Tom D. Pitt But the
surprise was far greater when it was
discovered that the man disguised as
the chief of police was none other than
her husband. Among the other sur
prises were Mrs. Gideon Snyder as a
Richf1eld sunflower, Mrs. A F. Angel
as a school girl, Miss Elsie Angel as a
gypsy girl, Mrs. Herbert Sanford as a
summer girl, Miss Mayme Lindsay as
a bride, Mrs. Rose Farnsworth as a
fairy, A. F. Angel as Buster Brown"
Herbert Sanford as Beau Brummel,"
and there were hundreds of others.

a raVlng maniac to the state mental hos

MEN GO BACK TO WORK
Southern Pacific Shop Employees Dis
charged Week Ago Are
Re-employed.

More than f25 shopmen who were laid
off at the Southern Pacific shops a week
ago returned to work yesterday and the
indications are that they will be kept
steadily at work from this time on AT
the time the men were laid off the Opin-
ion prevailed that they would be kept out
of work for a longer period than one
week. The traffic on all the lines out
of Ogden is exceptionally light and should
another layoff come within the next
month it will occasion no surprise. The
Hartman officials have adopted the plan
of laying off the entire force for a short
period at a time in preference to dis
charging a portion of its force indefi-
nitely.

START MORE LIBEL SUITS
Attorneys Bring New Actions
Against Glasmann and His
NEWSPAPERS,

Instead of decreasing the number OF
libel cases that are now pending against
William Glasmann and the Standard Pub
fishing company, present indications are
that the number of suits will be in
creased by three or more within the next
twenty days. This new status of affairs
is said to be due entirely to things print
ed IN the GlaSmSnn papers when the
management of those sheets was indulg-
ing in little eXultation over the YER
dlct rendered in the libel action brought
by Mrs. Alice Richards against the con-
Germ.
The Iibels, according to statements of
the men who have announced their in
tentlon Of bringing them, arise out of
the publication of certain articles in the
Standard and Examiner during the pro-
gress of the suit just closed, and others
published subsequently. Yesterday sum
mons were served upon Glasmann, Frank
Francis, his managing editor, and the
Standard Publishing company, by Attor-
neyS c. c. Richards, A. Z. Pratt and ].
ID. Skeen, who annOunced their inten-
ton of bringing three separate libel ac-
tions.
In recent issues of the Glasmann pa
pers, under the photographs of the at
tOrneys who acted for the defense in the
Richards case. appeared matter which is
claimed to be defamatOry in character
on account of its references to the cOun-
sci for the plaintiffs. The attorneys are
referred to as ''WaShtub chaSers" a
phrase coined by Attorney r. s. Farms
worth in his argument before the Jury
in describing Attorney j. B. Skeen. 1t
is further claimed that the articles re-
ferred to were full of Misrepresentation
and misstatements.
In addition to these three new actions
against Glasmann and the Standard Pub
fishing company, there are nine libel
suits against them now pending in the
district court. in which damages aggre-
eating $4,000 are asked for. Two cases
have so far been tried In one the plain
tiff secured a verdict for $1,000 against
the Standard Publishing company, but on
a technically this case was sent back
for retrial. The other case decided few
days ago resulted in verdict for the
defendant. AS the matter now stands
each side has won a victory in the courts

ton for several months, having originated

CORPORATION TAX ARGUED.
Richie Takes Case Involving Valid.
ity of Act Under Amusement.

The constitUtiOnality of the law
passed by the last legislature compell-
ing corporations to pay a license tax to
the state in proportion to their capital
stock was argued before Judge NJ. L.
Ritchie of the district court yesterday
afternoon and taken under advisement.
The suit in question is the one brought
by the Black Rock Copper Mining &
Milling company to secure the return
of the SIS license fee paid the secre-
tary of state under protest.
If the law is declared invalid il will
mean that the state will lose at least
$4,000 a year, and that all improve
ments at state institutions will be
stopped this year because the state will
not be able to afford to pay for them.
Lawrence and Robertson represented
the company and Assistant Attorney
General Barnes the state.
