FAIR GROUNDS
TO BE IMPROVED
New Entrance and Addition to
Grand Stand Will Be
Built This Year.

Substantial Improvements at the state
fair grounds were decided upon at the
meeting yesterday afternoon of the. exec
utive' committee of the Utah State Fair
association.
A new entrance is to be built accord
ing a design of Joseph A. Silver, a mem
seNenty-ffve-fOOt steel arch,s with sup
ports Ornamented with stucco work.
Three gates will admit the crowds and
turnstiles will be provided for those who
depart. Twenty-Five feet from the en-
trance will be three movable booths for
the ticket sellers. These booths will be
arranged to accommodate three ticket
sellers each. so that visitors to the fair
during rush, can buy tickets from
nine windows. This will do away with
long waiting and will greatly expedite
the handling of the crowds.
Secretary Horace Ensign was instruct
ed to get estimates from contractors OF
making other improvements at the fair
grounds race track. 1t is intended TO put
up a building to fill up the gap between
the two present grand stands. This will
add considerably to the seating capac-
ity. In addition to this, hanging boxes
are 10 be constructed along the front of
the grand stand There viii be about
Additional bleachers $50 feet long and
eight tiers high, Will also be added, and
$50 feet OF tight board fence eight feet
high will be built at the west end of the
track
The present pens for swine will be re
paired new floors and roofs will be built
and additional pens will be built to ac-
cOmmodate the unusually large exhibit
of swine that will be at the fair this
year.

LAP BEHIND IN LAWSUIT
Wilkins Is Now Suing to Gust Off
cial Whose Term Has
EXpired,

Ousting an official from his position
after his term has been served is a
novel proceeding which w. H. Wilkins
is trying TO enforce.
Wilkins was clerk of the board of
public works under the Morris admin
istration and served through until
April, 1906. when Frank r. Christen-
sen took his place.
Wilkins insisted that he was not
legally OUsted from the place and soon
afterwards brought suit to secure his
old job back again. The case has been
in the courts ever since, and the final
hearing will be had June 80 before
Judge Charles w. Morse.
The peculiar feature of the case is
that Christensen can only be technic-
ally Ousted from his position, as he has
served out the term involved in Will
kins' claim. and last January was re
elected for another two years.
The action which has been brought
is an application for a writ of mandate
directing the city council board of pub
lie works and the mayor to reinstate
Wilkins. If he should happen TO win
he may sue Christensen for the salary
of 500 a month. which the latter re-
ceived from April. 1905. TO the end of
his first term on Jan. l. 1908. An action
for this salary viii not lie against the
city.

STOPOVERS FOR TOURISTS
Question of Inducing Railroads to Al
low Passengers Time to See City
Being Discussed.

Considerable discussion is being given
the subject of having the railroads en-
tering Salt Lake allow all passengers
travelling through the city the privilege
of two or three days stOpOver here.
Nearly every person who passes
through Sat Lake would like to stop
over here said L. c. Marger of the
Seeing Salt Lake" ear service But
train load after train load of persons
are hurried through the city and all that
the passengers see of Salt Lake is what
they can observe from the car windows
In other cities this rushing of Irav-
elers through to other points is not seen,
and there should be a change in Salt
Lake. Perhaps a thousand persons pass
through the city every day. If the rail-
roads would make arrangements by
which these persons could spend a day
or two in Salt Lake, most of them would
take advantage of the opportunity. This
would mean that $1,000 or $1,000 would be
spent here every day by the sightseers,
who. as matters stand. scarcely have
time TO gulp down a cup of coffee and
eat a sandwich before they are rushed
on their way.
las it is to the interest of the bust
ness men of Salt Lake 10 have the same
that Denver enjoys, this
matter should be taken up

ATTACK NEW FOREMAN.
Seven Greeks Make Vicious Assault
on Ed Riddle.

Angered because Ed Riddle. an
American. had been substituted for
their Greek foreman, who was dis
charged. seven Greeks made a vicious
assault on him Tuesday at Bingham
Junction, and as a result complaints
charging them with assault with a
deadly weapon were issued by the
county attorney yesterday. Il is said
that when Riddle took charge he was
set upon by the seven men, who were
armed with crowbars and picks. Only
the timely Intervention of a friend with
a revolver, who held the crowd back,
saved him from serious, if not fatal,
injuries The case will be heard be-
fore Justice Williams at Bingham

are: James Lamntucker. Gust Carson.

DR.. Gamble Says He Met Miss Ben
son by Accident Near Lib
erty Park.

Another chapter in the divorce action
instituted by DR.. Gustave A. Gamble
against Mary Z. Gamble was written yes
terday when Dr. Gamble filed a reply 10

The reply denies the Wife's charges that
ne Is IN love with one Josephine Benson
ana ana also denies that he ever mistreated
Mrs Gamble.
Both DIR. Gamble and his wife are os-
teopaths and formerly had offices together

VIE or keeping him awake until a late
hour IN the night, finding fault with him.
AS result ne became nervous and worn
out and not able to attend to his pro-
fessiOnal duties properly
MIS-. Gamble in her answer charged her

HILTON CASE IS SUBMITTED
Suit to Recover Portion of DR.. Parks
Estate Sequel to a Celes-
tial Marriage.

Married to DR.. John r. Park when
all hope for her life had been aban-
doned. Anna F. A. Hilton recovered
and is now suing for a portion of his
estate. The case has been in the
courts for several years and was sub
mitIed to Judge Morse yesterday for a
decision.
According to the early Interpretation
of the Mormon religion, woman of
marriag eable age must be sealed to
some one before her death. Twenty
years ago, when Mrs. Hilton was
thought to be dying, DR.. Park. a well
known member of the church was
sealed to her. Unexpectedly she re-
covered, but never lived with DIR. Park
as his wife, although she did not marry
until after his death in October, 1900.
Mrs Hilton, however asserts that
she was the lawful wife of DR.. Park
and entitled TO a Widows share in his
estate.
The suits brought are to recover
property which DR.. Park decided away
during his lifetime The deeds were
signed by DR. Park alone, and he held
out to the world that he was an un-
married man Mrs. Hilton asserts that
she should have Joined in these trans
fers in order To make them legal. The
defendants in the suit are the present
owners of the property and are Mrs.

DEFINES STATUS
OF BELL CONCERN
Has No Franchise, but Is En-
trenched by Councils Rec
OgnitiOn of Rights.
THIS IS DALYS VIEW
EARNINGS TAX BEING INcoRPO-
RATED IN NEW ORDINANCE.

That the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone company has no franchise in Salt
Lake is the opinion of P. J. DAILY. as
sistant city attorney, who has been in
vestigating the status of the company
since the recent agitation concerning
the enforcement of the license tax.
This assertion was first made by COun-
Gilman +. S. FeTnstrOm at a meeting
of the council committee on licenses
which was considering the tax question
and has been looked up by Mr. DAILY.
II appears. however, that the city
cannot set up this claim and is estOpped
from asserting that there is no fran
chise because the company has since
1883 been recognized by the council as
having certain rights tatamOunt 10
franchise.
In 1883 the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone company was incorporated under
the territorial law. In the articles of
incorporation no mention is made of
taking over any franchises in salt
Lake City, although the franchises
In other towns whose systems were
absorbed at that time by the COM
pany are set forth in detail as assets

cts is not a right which can be con-
sidered a franchise and was not so con-
sidered by the company at the time of
its iT corporation.
The company has always based its
claim TO a franchise on the requirement
of this right given TO Jennings in 1875.
The records of the city, however, do not
show that il was ever formally accepted
by the applicants. which is another link
in Mr. Days chain of evidence showing
that no franchise really exists.
License Question Adjusted.
II has been generally thought that
the company Incorporated under what
was, known as the old telegraph act
passed by congress in 1864 and which
gave telegraph companies the right to
operate i'm the territories. This act was
used by many of the early telephone
companies and if it had been used by
the Bell people they would have had. it
is asserted, a perfect franchise. for the
reason that the act carried with it

the mana gement that it has been de-
cided to give a moving picture show
in that place of amusement every Sat

moving pictures and that they enjoy
foreign scenes and comiques. In fact,
except in films which showed great
deal of action. the applause was given

sent abroad for new subjects, and the

show at lower prices than before. The

downstairs will be sold at thirty-fve
cents a seat. Little Carrie Chispa

come from a few who objected to pur-

employ Japanese labor, you purchase
