TOO MANY BUGS
At CITY HOTEL
Chief of Police Closes Quarters
and Gives Vagrant a
Bath.

The sleeping headquarters for va
grants and wanderers on the ground
floor under the police station, in which
standing room is often at a premium,
has been closed for the summer. The
closing is not caused from lack of oc-
cupants. but from the fact that after
an investigation Thursday morning
Chief s. NJ. Barlow feared that some
day the cellar might be found walk
ing around i'm the back yard
Thursday morning Chief Barlow
reached the police station in time to see
a shaggy-haiTed ledger leave the cellar
The mans face had probably not been
refreshed with water for several days att
least. and his haid had not felt a comb
for some time. When the man had de-
parted the chief went to the cellar and
found an old sweater which the man
had used for a pillow. When it was
taken out into the light the sweaters
was found to be covered with VeTmin.
1t was ordered burned, and when the
vagrant returned Thursday night hei
was captured and taken into the drunk
house. His hair was cut and his
clothes were taken off and burned. He
was then given bath with a fire hose.

thereby effect another big saving. In
half a dozen different directions these
economies are being put into effect and
an amazing total of savings is expected
by the time all of the estimates for the
year have been put into the printers
hands.
President Taft took hold of this plan
for economy i'm the public service the
first day that he entered upon his du-
ties. At the first meeting of the cabinet
he impressed upon his advisers the deslTa-
bility of cutting down, and he expressed
the hope that they would, without refer
ence to any legislation, cooperate with
him in materially reducing the growing
deficit. A committee of cabinet members
was appointed to take up the subject
To this committee were added the names
of several bureau chiefs and the depart
ment heads. Assistant Secretary Norton
is member of the committee At every
meeting of the cabinet the subject of
economy was discussed. Members were
encouraged to point out plans whereby
cuts could be made in estimates prepared
by fellow members.
President Taft made it plain that he
desired department heads. on making up
their estimates, to set down the exact
total of what they needed, not what they
would like to have. He insists that 1t
is not good business policy. TO ask for
twice as much as is wanted, in the be
lief that the amount would be cut in half
by the committee on appropriations
in Washington he called special meet
ing of the cabinet TO go over the esti-
mates once more. 1t is understood that
the estimates are now in such shape that
the desired decrease in expenditures IS
on the point Of being realized.
And, while this retrenchment is being
made, there is the new senate commit
tee on public expenditures that is prepar-
ing to exercise a wise discretion in pass
ing upon all demands upon the treasury
This committee is composed of the chair
men of the seven big committees Of the
senate-finanCe, appropriations, military
affairs, naval affairs. pOStOffices, agTi-
culture and forestry and Indian affairs
together with thirteen other members Of
the upper chamber.
This committee has already organized
and half a dozen subcommittee will be
formed to look into the expenditure Of
every department and bureau of the pub
lie service. 1t is learned here that the
plan on which the committee is working
is to reOTganize the public business on "a
real business basis.
The reorganization of the department
of commerce and labor, by which the eff
| ficiencY of the staff has been increased
and the dead wood weeded out is a part
| of this plan. So also is the reOrganza-
ton of the business force of the treasury
department, which is now under way. Il

SALT LAKE NOT REACHED
Desiccated Eggs Have Failed to APP
pear Here, the Dealers
Declare.

Desiccated. or liquid egg, the very
latest wrinkle Of enterprising dairy and
creamery men, and which has already
come to grief at the hands Of the de-
partment of agriculture at Washington
has not yet made its appearance in Salt
Lake. The desiccated egg is the name
applied to eggs packed in liquid form
in barrels or drums like so much mOlasses.
Tt is said to be used extensively by whole
sale bakery houses in the east. The
Washington authorities cOnfisCsted a
large quantity Of the new egg product
and will test the legality of its manu-
facture and use. They maintain that the
egg must reach the consumer in its orig
inal package-the shell.
Canvass of the local creameries and
bakeries has failed to reveal any knOwl-
edge of the new product and as yet it
is believed its use is confined to eastern
bakeries which manufacture pastries on
a large scale.
The new method Of packing is said to
have many advantages over the usual
method of Gambling eggs. In conglomsr-
ate form it is difficult to submit each
Individual egg TO the usual tests as to
age and condition. 1t is also darlxly ru-
mored by the department of agriculture
that such packing opens the way for sub
stitution Of eggs other than those sup
piled by the Industrious hen-gun S eggs,
for instance.

New York, Aug. 19.-Jack Johnson's
statement in the west that he already

forfeit for a fight with Jeffries is de-

Jeffries had deposited $1,000 and had
sailed for Europe, Johnson appeared on
the scene and put up $1,000 with a diff

the first man who covered it would be
entitled to a fight with him. Willis
