GROCERYMAN GOES SOME
Highwaymen Threaten Him With Re-
volver and He 0beys Command
With Alacrity.

Two Salt Lake highwaynen developed
into opponents of the 100-yard dash when
they compelled J. NJ. Singleton, prOprie-
tor of a grocery store at Sixth West and
Second North streets. to run a half-blOck
on the threat that if he didn't do it on
record time he would be stopped by a
bullet. The holdup men were somewhat
peevish over having failed to obtain any
money from Singleton.
Singleton was closing the shutters on
the outside of his store at about 7:15
o'clock last night, when a gun was sud
denly showed in his face and two tall
men commanded him to throw up his
hands. Singleton complied, and his
clothing was searched without any money
being found. The highwaymen then
forced Singleton to walk ahead of them
for half block and told him if he didn't
beat all known records running back to
his store they would see how expert they
were at hitting a flying target. Single
ton says no record could stand against
the time he made over the half block. The
police were notified of the hOldup, and
were on the scene about ten minutes
later, but obtained no clue to the high
waymen.

.SHUbERTS EAGER
TO BUILD THEATRE
Maqnates Have Under ConSid,
Grafton Offer They Request
ed From A. Fred Wey.

The Shuberts, who have taken tenn
porary quarters at the old Lyric thea
tire in Main street, have under cOnsid-
Grafton a proposition to build a new
theatre in East Second South street on
property owned by A. Fred Wey. An
agent of the Shuberts recently ap-
preached Mr.. Wey, received an offer,
and accepted it, subject to confirmation
from the New York Office. Mr.. Wey
says so far as he knows no cOnfirma-
ton has been given, and the deal still
hangs fire.
The property is located on the north
side of Second South street, just east Of
the Grand theatre. The old Lyric thea
tire is manifestly too small for the Shu-
bert attractions.
Coupled with this announcement
comes a message from New York to the
effect that Harry Lauder, the highest
salaried vaudeville entertainer in the
country, will make a tour of all Of the
Shubert theatres and will be booked
early in Salt Lake. Nothing was known
last night of this fact at the ShubeTt
theatre until the message was conveyed
by The Herald Republican.
The recent announcement that the
Shuberts would, next May, start a tour
of the country with the greatest mu-
steal organization in the history of the
stage, brought JOY to the heart of the
local playgoer, but it is not likely that
the organization will appear here for
the reason that a large house is neces-
sary, and a straight S. rate will be
charged for the best seats.
j. J. Shubert, who is now on the way
to the coast, is expected in Salt Lake
shortly, and something may be learned
then of the all-star company. 1t is
stated that every musical comedy star
now appearing under the Shubert direc-
ton will be in the great aggregation.
That includes Lew Fields, Sam Bernard,
Frank Daniels, Eddie Foy, James T.
Powers, Andrew Mack, William Norris,
Lulu CHASER. Louise Cunning, Blanche
Ring and Margaret Clark. The chorus
will be a picked one, being chosen from
minor parts among the Shubert organ
iZatiOns.
object of Tour.
The Shuberts have not decided what
musical piece shall be used, although
four are under consideration now, but
il will be a recognized comic opera clas-
sic. The New York Commercial makes
this observation:
1T will be necessary to obtain the
very largest playhOuses, and in cities
SUCH as Denver and Los Angeles, where
auditoriums are to be had. these will be
used for the purpose. A regular s. rate
for the best seats will prevail in New
York and wherever the all-star organ
ization appears.
THE Shuberts are undertaking this
task, they say, to establish once for all
the fact that they are able to arrange a
tour the scope of which no other man
agenent in America can parallel and
stamp out the last vestige of any time
worn superstition that the amUsements
Of this country are, or can be, in the
hands of one group of men,

BABIES PRESENT
DESPITE WEATHER
Baby Show Is Postponed and
Other Big Features Are
Arranged.

Pluvius. with allies in the snow king
and his cohorts cOmbated with Manager
Tremp of the food and industrial EXPOSE
ton yesterday-and Manager Tremp, sor-
ry to say, was routed. That was because.
however, Mr.. Tremp underestimate his
own force and really quailed under the
bluff
For instance, when yesterday about
noon Manager Tremp saw the snowflakes
falling he, not knowing the temperament
or hardihOOd of babies, fell for the snow
man and said. This is too bad weather
for the babies. Wen have the baby show
Monday, and that will give the weather
man three days to get things right again.
COmfOrted in the thought that ne was
dong something of good to the tiny tots,
Manager Tremp went on his way smiling,
to return in gaping establishment when he
learned that IS babies had been registered
in the show. While trying to solve the
matter, the number kept increasing I'M
til there was a total of III babies, chubby.
fat, prim, dainty and WinSOme. But he
had earlier given his word that the baby
show was postponed until Monday, and
took refuge in his word Return checks
were given, and now Manager Tremp has
no faith in the Salt Lake weather. Mon
day, whether it is rain, snow, hail or sleet
the baby show is going to be held and ad-
ditional prizes will be offered as a sort of
penance.
Crowd Is Present.
and last night detracted little from the
crowds visiting the pure food exposition,
and the fact that il was Elks' night added
to the occasion.
One of the features was the public intro
duction of Foo Chow, bride, and Lee
Wing, bridegroom. in the oriental we'd
ding which will be the feature Of the
show tonight at $3.50 o'clock.
At the time stated the couple will be
married in true oriental fashion, and the
whole affair will be something unique to
many of the more barbaroUs oceidentals
The evening viii be known as Union
night. and viii in every way be the big
night of the week. The afternoon will be
ChildTens day.
A novel feature for Monday night is
beef-Cutting contest. In this there will be
two expert meat cutters, the select from
the butcher shops Of the city, entered,
who will each take the halves Of a beef
and cut it into choice pieces of about
three pounds each. The winner of the
contest will be awarded a gold medal.
Supplementing this contest will be that
of the wrapping of the cuts, in which the
winner will receive silver medal, and,
more to the advantage Of the visitor. the
meat cut will be distributed. One may get
the choice tenderlOin, porterhouse, rib
roast. etc, just as one happens to be
lucky.
