Call on Wall.

Thursday afternoon. at the meeting of
the board of governors. the building COM
mittee and the finance committee of the
club, II was decided to appoint four COM
mittees to solicit subscriptions to the fund
to complete the desired total of $4,000.
one or these committees was composed
of Mayor John s. Rransford, Charles A.
Quigley and Joseph F. Game. These three
met yesterday afternoon and decided to
call upon Colonel Wall at his office in the
Utah Savings & Trust building.
Colonel Wall was Immediately interested
in the matter when it was explained to
him.
How much do you wish me to sub
scribe?" he asked.
About $500" was the reply.
How much remains to be subscribed
before the fund is completely" Colonel
Wall then asked.
about 10000" answered the members
of the committee.
Il will subscribe the entire amount 8"
said Colonel Wall. with one of his char
acteristic gestures
In those few words he ended the work
of that committee and all of the other
committees. Il would have been an I'M
expected and astonishing situation any
where else than in Salt Lake.
1t must be admitted that the members
of the committee were breathless for a
They had expected a 5000 subscription
from Colonel Wall. and TO sit there with
no other work to do and plenty of time to
cldL ana ENJOY the view from Colonel
Wallis window was an unloOked-for lux
ury.
No Time Will Be Lost.
But after a pleasant talk with Colonel
Wall they withdrew to think over the
perpleXing problem of what they should
do with the subscriptions secured by the
other committees. After some discussion
it was decided TO allow Colonel Wall $40
600 worth of the building bonds and to
keep the remainder for other business
men who would like 10 have a share in
the clubs building enterprise.
AS the other committees were not in
active during the afternoon. it was said
last night that the building fund has been
OVersubscHbed at least S25.O00.
When the board of governors. the build
ing committee and the finance commit
tee meet this afternoon. it is understood
that the matter of choosing the plans for
the new club building will not be taken
up. Those present. il is said, will have
their hands full trying to squeeze the sub
scripuOns to the building fund within the
prescribed limits.
The matter of selecting the plans will

AS the financial end of the building

be lost from now on in getting the clubs

with the suit of Mrs. Ellen French Van

beginning of another divorce suit in which

Washington. and the defendants name is
given as Sonora Dona Agnes O'Brien de
Ruise. The complainant in the suit has
not Vet succeeded in ascertaining her
whereabouts. There is said TO be a strong
likelihood that successful prosecution
OF the divorce action may be followed by
a suit for alienation of affection against
a man as yet unnamed. Mr.. Bauchle
said today that the divorce action is

Only One Defeat.

The only complete defeat sustained by
the Taft delegates in the contests was in
the Fifth Virginia district. where a For
aker delegation was seated because a
man was allowed to act as secretary of
the district convention who had issued a
call for a convention in his own county
for white men only
1t was believed by the members of the
committee that if they allowed the dele
gates from the convention at which this
man had acted as secretary TO be seated
in the national convention. II would place
the party IN the light of approving a call
issued TO a portion of the voters. For
This reason it was decided to seat the con-
testing Foraker delegates.

sauntering slowly down the street when
two men who had been walking behind
him sprang upon him. One of the men
seized him by the throat and while he
held him the other struck Crosby a crush

struggle in an effort to free himself, the
man with the blackjack struck a second
blow. Crosby fell to the sidewalk uncon-

Split Delegations.

In Louisiana and Tennessee split dele
cations were seated, the entire delegation
from Louisiana being considered as one
contest. The action of the committee in
dividing the Louisiana delegation made
no difference TO the Taft strength. mas
much as both factions We're for Taft.
The Tennessee division was made in
the Eighth district in response to urgent
appeals of National Committeeman
BrOwnlow of that state, who asked that
il he done for the purpose of healing
local differences and giving the party a
better chance of electing a Republican
representative. The delegation from the
Sixth Ohio district was divided on the
evidence submitted.
Outside of the conclusion of the con-
tests before the national committee, the
most important development of the day
was the issuance by the allies of a
statement in which they declared their
intention of sticking TO the finish and
in which they asserted that IL was certain
that there will be no nomination on the
