TOPIC
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HOLDS
LENGTHY DISCUSSION.
Committee Appointed to Confer With
City Council at'Spccial Meet.
ing Friday Night.

The Ogden Chamber of Commerce
held an interesting meeting last even
Ing the principal topic of discussion
being the proposed granting of fran
chise to the ogden Rapid Transit com
pany over Wall avenue. from Twenty
fifth street 10 Thirty-third street The
discussion entered into at the meeting
may be summarized In the following
manner:
The question as to whether street
car company, holding a franchise over
the streets OF ogden City. can hold
said franchise for an indefinite length
of time upon the streets that are not
being used by the company; IN other
words. over streets upon which they
have not constructed a car service,
and whether the city council does not
have the power TO revoke the, fran
chlse under such conditions.
Whether it is not fact that any
franchise granted by Ogden City 10
any and all street car companies on
Wall avenue would be detrimental 10
the better interest OF the taxpayers
and to the city MS whole by render
ing it impossible for a trunk railroad
line to enter the city and would 1t not
be better for the city to withhold the
granting of the franchise TO the street
car company so that 1T would be free
TO grant q franchise at some future
time to a railroad company that might
desire to build trunk line into the
city.
These questions were thoroughly dis
cussed by the members present, some
taking one view OF the matter and
others another view. The conclusion
finally arrived at was that the public
utilities committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce be instructed TO meet with
the committee of the whole or the
city council Friday night when that
body will consider the franchise asked
for over Wall avenue by the ogden
Rapid Transit company. The COM
mittee was instructed TO take stand
either for or against the proposed
franchise, but to discuss the question
with the city fathers as might seem
best to them.
The franchise in question has passed
its second reading before the city
mittee of the whole Friday night Is TO
further discuss the merits OF the ques-
ton that a report favorable or against
the third and final reading OF the
ordinance providing for the franchise
as the case might be made at the reg
ular session of the city council next
Monday night and thereby finally dis
pose of ii.
A member of the council stated last
evening that those IL favor OF grant
ing the franchise and those opposed
To It would have the opportunity FIJI
day night OF expressing their views
on the question and that 1t Is hoped
by the solons that free discussion
of the bill will be entered into at that
time. He said that the council de-
sired TO act wisely in the matter and
that they could better do so II all the
phases of the question were threshed
out before them.

STRICKEN BLIND.

The performance at the Utahna this
week. a finely arranged society drama
entitled Stricken Blind" has more
than met expectations. 1t has drawn
we'll. and the audiences have express
ed their delight in the most apprecia"
tive manner
The story is plainly set forth and
easily followed and the interest Is
held from first to last 1t is plainly
apparent that the Moore Stock com
pany is becoming very popular with
ogden theater-goers. Every now play
of late adds to their laurels. II Is
becoming more and more manifest
that popular prices do not mean an
inferior show.

Moore, who appears in that role. In
the scene where he rebukes his wife
Tor her supposed Inconsistency, the
jealousy OF his nature Is strongly por-
trayed and Mr., Moore does fine acting.
Pearl Either Moore takes the role of
Mrs. Maitland with her usual excel

tanSlements constitute the center of
the play. The mother love brought

chiefs were in evidence in every quar-
ter of the house.

the entire play And this is one of the
features of the Moore Stock company
Mr.. Moore Is especially happy In the
combination OF talent In his service.

Mr., Whittier plays well always, but
the character of Sir Walter Bruce
does not afford him the opportunity for
his best work. Mr.. Seldy Roach. how
ever, has better opportunities as Laz-
arus and Joseph Levant and takes
good advantage of them.
Annie 1nce as Laura Bruce, who falls
in love and Is willing to run away with
the bad man in the play, does herself

was well taken as was also that of
Mir. William S. Donovan In the better
role of William Wyman. And last
but not least, except In statue, was
little Ruth Osborn, who played the
part of little Arthur, the stolen child.
She remembered her part we'll and
gave 1t clearly.
The play Is an excellent perform
ance all around and reflects great
credit ON the entire Moore Stock
company.

The PHILADELPHIA
TROLLEY STRIKE
Situation is Unchanged and
There is Little Disorder,

Philadelphia. June 2.-The first or
binary business day since the begin
ming of the street car mems strike
here last Saturday morning closed
with conditions practically unchanged.
The Traction company notified its men
that those who had been discharged
for striking on Saturday would be
taken back if they reported for work
at once. Men who had been discharg.
ed for triaing offenses in the past
were also welcomed back. BY the aid
of the recruits hired in this and other
cities the company was enabled to
run 700 of its 1900 cars.
The first disturbance in the central
part of the city occurred when men
employed in erecting a high building
in Chestnut street and Thirteenth
showered nails and other missiles on
a passing car. No arrests were made,
but the police notified the builders
that a repetition of the occurrence
would result in all work on the build
ing being stopped until after the close
of the strike As on previous days
there was little disorder and those ar
rested were held upon very trivial
charges.
The mayor extended the time which
saloons are allowed to remain open
from a. m. until p. m.
The Business Mems association pre-
scented to Mayor Reyburn an appeal
for arbitration to settle the strike The
mayor declared he does not favor arbi-
tration, and said: IF order is preseTv-
ed and the cars are running that is all
that is necessary"

The far eastern countries bordering

crate exhibits at Seattle that they
have ever attempted anywhere. Here
it is possible to find out what these
countries need as well as what they
produce. Japan perhaps more than
any other eastern nation has grasped !
the commercial importance of the ex-
position, and its official representation
has been carried out on a compre- |
hensive scale.
