SALT LAKE ACTRESS IS
HOME FOR THE SUMNER

Miss Ruby Lindsay, daughter of the
late John Lindsay, Salt Lakes well
known dramatic actor, returned yester-
day afternoon from an absence of three
years in the east where she has been
engaged in dramatic work, and has
scored a number Of successes in her
chosen professiOn-the stage. Her ar
rival home was unexpected, and her
mother and other relatives were agree
ably surprised. She had for several
months been leading woman of a stock
company in Davenport, Ia, but on ac-
count of the hot weather the company
closed suddenly and she came to Salt
weeks, and will then probably return to
New York, where she has an engage
ment next fall.
TT seems ten years instead Of three
since Z left Salt Lake" said Miss Lind
say yesterday. 7 could hardly recOg-
niZe the town. there have been so many
improvements. 1t doesn't look like the
city where was born, and I'm so glad
the dear old town is growing so fast. 1t
looks good to me, but it would have
looked good. anyway. There is no place
like your home city"
Since she has been away Miss Lind
say spent two seasons in New York,
toured with a dramatic company
through the New England states, and
was fourteen months in stock at the
Peoples theatre in Chicago. She feels
that the experience she has had is valu-
able. It has broadened her, she says,
and has given her a greater conception
| of the bigness Of the country.

LAST MONTHS MORTALITY
BREAKS RECORD FOR JUNE

There were los deaths in June, and the
annual death rate for the month on an
estimated population of $1,000 is 15.Z5,
as against only eighty deaths and rate
Of 11.30 for the same month last year
This is far in excess of any June IL the
history of the city. The average death
rate per GOO during the month was LII,
and the average death rate of actual
residents is given by the board of
health, which always takes care to add
this, as 0.92.
The board, in its monthly report for
June, which was handed out yesterday,
fixes the number of nOn-residents who
died in the city during the month at
thirty.
Typhoid fever was responsible for one
death and scarlet fever for two. There
we're nine deaths from pneumonia, and
two persons committed suicide by
poison.
Births numbered 17S, all white, for,
strange to say, if any cOlored children
are born in Salt Lake they never ap-
pear on the records of the board of
health. Boys led with ninety-two, and
there were eighty-six girls in the list
There were $50 marriage licenses is
sued during the month, which is a rec
ord.
Contagious and infectious diseases are
by no means stamped out, for 164 cases
are reported, as compared with POS for
May. There were fifty-six cases of
smallpox, fifty-five of scarlet fever, thir-
teen of measles and twenty-nine of
whooping cough.
The provision inspectors report at
tached. shows that he condemned in all

prosecutions.

be put in and they were the more sur
prised at his action in this case. It
was, he said. the first time that Moran
has failed to respect the orders of the
board.
The matter is likely to cause a dead
lock between the mayor and council
and board of works. If the latter re-
fuses to pay Moran and accept the work
the council almost unanimously is with
the mayor in taking it over without
sanction of the board w. J. HalloTans

CONTEST
OF MAIER WILL
WIDOW OF BREWER WANTS
SHARE OF ESTATE
DISSATISFIED WITH REQUEST OF
ONLY $500
Alleges That Document Dlsposlng Of
Property Valued at Quarter Mil
lion Dollars Is Incomplete
and Unsigned

A contest of the unsigned will of the
late Joseph F. Maier, president of the
Maier Brewing company, was begun
in the superior court yesterday by
Teresa Maier, the widow, who alleges
that the will of her husband, by the
terms of which she was to receive only
$500 of an estate valued at about a
quarter of a million, is invalid. Mrs.
Maier bases her contest upon several
grounds, claiming, among other things,
that the will Is incomplete, that 1t Is
not entirely in the handwriting of her
husband, and that he did not intend 1t
to be his last will.
BY the terms of the will, which was
made April 8, 1908, two days before
Maier's death, his entire estate, with
the exception of $500 to the widow, was
bequeathed to his mother, Mrs. Mary
Maier. Maier and his wife separated
nearly a year before his death, and, 1t
is said, never again became reconciled,
although he supported her during that
time. The story of their estrangement
and the circumstances leading up to 1t
never became public, and Mrs. Maier
attorneys, Hunsaker, Britt & Fleming,
declined yesterday to discuss the mat
ter.
Mr.. Maiers will was written on one
of the brewing company's letter heads,
and disposed of his large property In
few words. The will is unsigned, but
attorneys for the dead brewers mother
will contend that the wording of the
first part of the Instrument, j. Fred
Maier"-is tantamount to a signature,
and that the validity of the will cannot
be attacked for that reason.

Labor Leader Shows Why He Is

NEW YORK, July 30.-Samuel Com

to the practice of tipping.
In the current issue of the Fedora
ZIONIST, the official organ of the Fed
Grafton, Mr.. Gompers writes
I'm maintaining as one of their firm
est institutions, the tipping system,
the steamship companies manifest a
shrewd perception of their own in

strike. Every eager tip-taker studies
the short and sure routes to the shlll-

not degrading occupation from which

Man Accused of Embezzling Thirteen
Thousand Dollars is Wanted on
Other Charges, According
to Visitor

Habeas corpus proceedings, through
which attorneys representing John T.
Mackie hope to prevent his return to
Cincinnati to answer to a charge of
embezzling about $4,000, were contin-
ued by Judge Davis of the criminal
court yesterday until Monday. Louis
Houllion, a Cincinnati detective, ar
rived in Los Angeles yesterday, and
should Mackie's efforts to secure free
dom fail, will return with the prisoner
early in the coming week.
Mackie came to this city about two
months ago, accompanied by a woman,
Lucille Burton, and his young son. Ac-
cording to Detective Houillion, the
charge on which he was arrested is
only one of numerous accusations which
are only waiting his return be filed.
Among other Offenses, he is accused of
embezzling $4,000 from Mrs, Jane
Green, the SS-year-old grandmother of
his wife, who, it is said, gave him the
money at various times to deposit.
"Mackies sporting goods house
burned June Is, but payment of the
insurance, amounting to $4,000, was
held up when an investigation showed
that only $4,000 worth of stock was on
hand at the time of the fire. said
Houillion. Most of his money was
spent on the woman who came with
him to Los Angeles, and who he first
met in Columbus and introduced there
as his wife"

TOOL DRESSER STRIKES
OIL DRILLER WITH PIPE

A quarrel of unknown origin between
w. D. Kuhns, an oil driller employed
by the La Brea Oil company, and Bert
Turney, tool dresser employed by the
same concern, resulted in serious in
juries to Kuhns when the enraged tool
dresser struck his opponent on the
head with piece of piping. Kuhns is
now in a critical condition. at his home
in Colegrove and has not recovered
consciousness sufficiently to be able to
give any account of the origin of the
trouble. Turney is in the county jail
and the charges preferred against him
will depend on the recovery of Kuhns.
The oil driller was frightfully lacer-
ated about the head and face and
physicians state that the injured man
is in a serious condition.
AS far as can be learned, Kuhns
has never been of quarrelsome ma
ture and as Turney refuses to discuss
the alleged assault, the matter remains
unexplained.
The injured man is 80 years old, has
been in the employ of the La Brea Oil
company for four years and is well
known in the oil fields.
