M 'CRACKEN ONE OF THE
LEADERS IN THE HOUSE

The Inter-Mountain Republican has
this to say of one of Weber county s
representatives In the legislature:
Lawyer, man of letters, and given
to deep study ofpjany question that
comes within range of his broad mind,
James b. McCracken Of OgdSn is one
OF the mainstays OF the house OF rep
Iesentatives from Weber county With
a mind rich in things legal and of a
bent. toward the technical, his utter
ances on the floor of the house COM
pand attention.
Mr. McCracken is one of the quieter
members, who believes in expressing
himself only when he can add some
thing toward good lawmaking. In
some respects, and especially where
vice is concerned, he borders on the
radical; but his utterances are always
found to have some backing. His
reasoning has been found to be sane,
safe and sound, and he can be de-
pended upon to find flaws where very
often others are likely to overlook.
He was born in Virginia, August
81, 1857. A part of his life was spent
in Michigan. where his education was
secured He studied law in that state
and was admitted to the bar OF the
supreme court of that state In 1884
-Four years later he became a mem
Der Of the bar of the supreme court OF
the United States.
Ten years ago he came to Ogden.
where he has since resided. At that
time he was admitted to the Utah bar,
and has been practicing his profession
in this state since. He is married,
hut has no children.
Already Mr.. McCracken has intro
duced several bills. Among them are
the following measures: To make the
keeping of houses OF Ill fame felony;
amending law ON garnishment: chang
ing law on recording certificates OF
co.partnership; providing a new GEN.
trai building for the University OF
Utah; amending the service OF sum-
mons, and fixing place of venue for
transitory actions.

For two hours and half Mr. Con

IL was one of the largest audiences
ever assembled In the hall. The lee.

best that has ever been given IN the
CITY, and Professor McKendrick states
that it is the best that is given TODAY
In the entire United States.
Mr.. Conwell demonstrated last night
that he has no superior. not only as
writer of biographies but as lee
turer. In his discourse he forcetully
conveyed the idea that poverty was
rot the only virtue. as some people
would have you believe. but that he
considered 1t the duty OF every per
sen to become as wealthy as possible
under honorable means He also con-
veyed the thought that II was not nee
ossary always for people to seek other
localities than their home to galr
wealth but that every country offered
ample opportunity for the accumula-
ticn of riches If the individual would
apply himself to the things that might

When their labors were completed,
the officials reported unanimously to
Mr.. Taft in favor of the White, and,
accordingly, car of this make was i'm
mediately ordered from the manufac-
turers, The White Company of Cleve-
land
The new car was delivered to Mr..
Taft in Washington few days before
his Inauguration and since that time it
has been in almost constant use. There
has not been day when the president
or some members of his family nave
not been seen riding around the nation
al capital in the new car. 1t is hinted
that Mr.. Taft likes fast travelling and
that when he rides out into the open
country, he does not always insist that
the speed of the car be kept within the
legal limits.

cific coast branch of The White Com
pany, 1470 Market street, San Fran
cisco, said recently to a correspondent

MANICURED HOTEL WALTERS.

Latest Innovation In the Service Of

Manicured hotel servants will be pre-
sented to-day to the guests Of the VOL
colt and It will be the initial presenta-
tion Of finger-nail condition that no
other hotel In New York-or In the
United States for that matter-ever
has considered, the New York World
says. The management has been Inn
pressed for three or four months with
the general untidiness Of walters, bell
boys and other employees exclusive Of
the clerical staff and yesterday the fol-
lowing pronunciamento was issued:
beginning on this date every en-
ploye Of the Wolcott who comes in
contact with the guests Of the hotel
will report daily to Miss Cora NJ. Par
ker, the official manicure, to have his
or her finger nails clipped, cleaned,
polished and filed.
This order Is mandatory and no ex-
cuse will be accepted for disobedience
except illness or other excuse which

sOnable.
"A room has been provided for the
manicure near the walters dressing
room, and she will be on duty from
30 a. m. until s p. m.
mo charge will be made for the
service, which tends to promote cleanli-
ness and which will appeal to the
guests Of the hotel. There is no rea-
son why the finger nails should not re-
ceive the same attention as the hands,

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr. Taft would
use an automobile during his term as
president, much rivalry developed
among the leading manufacturers for
the honor of selling him car and the
public watched with interest to see
what Mr.. Taft's choice would be. The
knowing ones predicted that the White
Steamer would be selected and they
pointed out that President Roosevelt
had used White Steamers for two years
at his summer home at Oyster Bay and
had recommended this make to Mr..
Taft as the most desirable.
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely on
Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation but,
with his usual thoroughness, determin-
ed to have an investigation made of all
the principal makes. Accordingly, he
asked several officers of the War de-
partment to look into the matter for
him and they tested many makes of
cars, visited a number of factories so
that they might see what materials
were used and, finally, they investigat-
ed the records of the different types of
cars in public contests and in private
ssrvics.

er except that his car has the United
States coat of arms painted on either
door. In other words, when we make
car for the president of the United
States there is no way in which We can
make it any better than the car which
you, or anybody else, can purchase
from US.
Some of those writing to me about
Mr.. Taft's car say that although they
are very desrious of having car like
Mr.. Taft's, they are afraid that such a
car is somewhat larger and more ex-
pensive than they desire. In reply to
these letters point out that our Model
90 20 horsepower car is exactly like
our 40 horsepower model, except as re-
CARDS the size of the different parts.
The principle of construction is exactly
the same and the smaller car possesses
all the desirable qualities of our larger
model. In other words, l point out
that they can secure an exact duplicate
of Mr.. Taft's car for 81, 600, or a car
of the same qualities but of smaller di-
for only $4,000. Judging by
the demand for White cars, a good pro-
portion of those desiring to purchase
are quite content to trust
President Taft's judgment as to the
best and most desirable make"

RAILROAD SAFETY DEVICE.
The "Death Button" Adds to tn,

The "Death Button" Adds to the
subway Travellers Security.
Safety in railroad travel is vitally
interesting topic, and an article In the
Circle, entitled, Making Railroad
Travel Safer" gives some remarkable
Illustrations of the many inventions
and automatic appliances which tend
to guard the public from danger. One
OF these Is called the death button, -
making provision as it does in case OF
the sudden death or inactivity of the
one In charge at the moment on lines
where electric current has been in
stalled as propelling power.
The well-known death button" now
In use In the Manhattan subway trains
Is a safety device in line with this fu.
ture development.
In the top Of the electric controller
handle, which Is moved in circle over
a row Of contact buttons by the motor
man when he regulates the speed. Is 8
little plunger which is the real fac
tor In throwing the electric current of
and on. 1t sticks through the handle
and is held UP by spring.
Before he can get any current at all
this button must be pushed down by
the palm Of the motorman's hand, after
which he can move the handle about
and adjust the strength Of the current
at will.
But should he drop dead at his post
or for any reason remove his hand
from the lever, the little button would
spring up from contact, the current
would leave the motors and the ca,
stop.
