Mr. Mix landed north of Warsaw, in
Russian Poland, at 3 o'clock Tuesday

time to spare from Alfred Leblanc, the
French pilot, his companion in the st.
Louis race of 1907, who came down at
Kubin, Hungary, Monday afternoon.
Some of the contestants relate peril
Gus experiences. Emile Dubonnet, rep
resenting France, says he had re-
markable escape at the time of his
descent His guide rope caught in the
chimney of a house on a mountain slope
and was torn away from the balloon,
which shot up about 1000 yards. His
ballast was exhausted and the balloon
descended again with fTightful rapidity,
but he managed to escape serious mis-
hap.
At late hour the committee issued
an unofficial estimate of the distance

SMALL EARTHQUAKE RECORDED
Record of seismograph University disturbance Tuesday night

would not be left a chicken coop stand
ing in the city. When asked as to the
real significance of the earth tremOT on
Tuesday night, and if it would be posi-
BILE for another similar or more serious
quake to occur, he said:
I'm our vicinity it is impossible to
make any predictions which could be
held exact. Another similar shock
might occur tonight, or It might not
occur for many years. The shock was
caused by what is known as a crystal
slip, which is the slipping of one BODY
of rocks over another. The slipping of
a fraction of an inch would be enough
to make a record similar to the one re-
corded last night. If a larger slip Oc-
CURED it would do untold damage"
The seismOgraph at the university is
the only one in the intermOuntain cOun-
try, and has given valuable service in
the location of the wave movements in
the earth since it was established at the
university. The following notice accom-
panied the diagrams of the seismograph
records distributed at the state fair
yesterday;
THE University of Utah maintains
the only chronological station in the in
termountain region. The above record
was made by one of the two earth
quakes which visited Salt Lake Tues
day evening at 7:4l and S;24, Oct. .. the
disturbance was caused by a slipping OF
great crystal blocks at the western face
of the Wasatch mountains and passing

EASTERN FIGHT MEN
DO NOT EXPECT BATTLE

New York, Oct. eastern sporting
men are not at all certain that there
will ever be a fight for the heavyweight
championship between James ]. Jeffries
and Jack Johnson. Recent cablegrams
from Paris that JeffTies expected a purse
of $4,000 to be offered, together with
JOhnson's repeated assertions that he
would claim a lions share of any purse
offered, have partially confirmed the be
lief of fear that the two big men will
not agree on terms. A purse of $4,000 is
considered out of the question. Jeffries
styles himself as "undefeated champion Of
the world and his friends declare that
this is sufficient Indication that he will
insist on debating the terms, and will
demand the champions portion of any
stake.
Hugh Mcintosh. the Australian promo
ter, left London last night for Paris to see
Jeffries and further increase his bid Of
$4,000 for the fight. At the same time
JeffrieS left Paris for London and they
passed each other on the way. 1t is now
understood that Jeffries will sail for this
country next Saturday, and his repre-
sentative here declares that Immediately
upon his arrival in New York he will be
ready to sign final articles with Johnson
and consider proposals from promoters.

BRITISH WOMEN
LEAD At GOLF
National American Title Day
Shows the Visitors in the
Lead.

Philadelphia, Oct. developments to-
day in the women's annual national golf
cham pionship had a distinctly British cast
and many observers are beginning to
think that the title will be carried abroad.
Two of the four British women who
qualified for the title were put out today
in the second round Of match play, but
the most skillful and prominent of the
visiting gations-Miss Dorothy Camp
bell and Miss Frances Teacher-remain.
AS both are in the top half of the draw,
should both win tomorrow they must meet
in the semi-finals.
Mrs. Charles T. Stout Of New York,
former national and metropolitan cham-
pion, held herself in reserve today in beat
ing Miss Frances GriScOme, Philadelphia,
another former title holder, feeling in
advance that she must meet the British
champion tom orrow. Mis- Campbell had
a much harder task to defeat Mrs. E. II.
Filter, Philadelphia, who never played so
well before. Miss Teacher showed the
best quality of the invaders" to date by
handily beating Miss Vida Llewllyn, west
ern champion.
Mrs. Caleb Fox, Philadelphia, won on
the home hole from Miss Mary Adams,
Boston, eastern champion, after an anus
ing round II which both took practically
three puts at every hole. Miss Margery
Phelps, Boston, had to play out the home
hole to win from Miss Temple of Eng
land, but managed to keep her nerve at
the crucial point. Inc only extra nOle
match was that in which Miss Isabella
Smith, Chicago, beat Miss Elizabeth Por-
ter. Boston. on the nineteenth with high
scoring. Miss Jane Spence of England
pushed Mrs. Ronald BarlOr, former Phtla-
delphia district champion, the full round
for a decision.
This afternoon was devoted to the driv-
ing and approaching and putting con-
tests, both of which went to the Brit
ishers. Miss Dorothy Campbell, Scotland
title holder of Great Britain, led in drtv-
ing, her total being 81 yards.

RILEY'S SLAYERS
STILL At LARGE
Although Many Saw Tragedy,
Police Say None Have De-
SCribed Murderer.

Although four suspects are held, it is
believed the nnlrderers of c. c. Riley
are still at large. John Mclaughlin, who,
the police say, served eighteen months
at Deer Lodge, Mont, for highway rob
berry, and William Arlington, who served
time at the same prison for burglary,
were arrested at the Cliff house at .
o'clock yesterday afternoon by Detectives
Wheeling and Chase. Their apparel re-
Sembled that of the men who held up
Frank Nebeker Tuesday night and later
killed Officer Riley after he had placed
them under arrest.
Two other suspects were arrested as
they stepped from freight train IN Blng-
ham canyon early yesterday morning
They partially answered the description,
but furnished alibis which, if true, will
clear them.
Last night Mayor John S. Bransford
offered 500 reward in addition to that
posted by Governor Spry.
Remember Ford" is the watchwOrd OF
the police force, and it will go hard with
the murderer or murderers if they are
caught. Many of the men much resent
the manner in which Joe Sullivan, muir
derer of Policeman Charles Ford in De
cember, 1907, following the hold-up of the
Albany bar, has escaped the death pen
atty.
Eyewitness disagree as to how Riley
was shot. Some say that he had ar
rested both highwaymen and was walk
ing up State street and had turned out
just opposite the Orpheum theatre to al
low Mrs West, of the Luxor hotel, to
pass In doing so he showed one of his
prisoners into the gutter and stepped
ahead of him. The next instant the man
had broken away from Riley's grasp and,
drawing his gun, shot Riley in the left
side. Then, walking around his PROSTATE
victim, he took deliberate aim and fired
again. He then Vaulted the bars at the
entrance of the alley and ran east on
the north side of the Studebaker build
ing and disappeared. His hat a black
derby, was found yesterday morning in
the rear of the Wagner brewing office,
lying near a 14-fOOt wire fence, in which
the murderer had bent the wires.
Both Mrs. West and Henry Lewis de-
clare that Riley had but one man.
Numerous other witnesses, including
Mr. Hardman, driver of a street flusher,
maintain that he had two and that after
the shooting the other man rushed west
across the street and disappeared in the
Orpheum alley.
The latest version of the affair was
told by a man giving the name of Mar
tin to Chief Sheets last night. Martin
saws he saw Riley taking one man along
the other side of the street, when an
other fellow darted around the corner of
Second South and State, started diagOn-
ally north across State and, seeing Riley
and his prisoner, ran up behind the Of
ficer and fired when within ten feet.
Chief Sheets puts little credence in this
tale.
Scores of persons saw the murderer, but
the police say none have given a good
description of him. The police are count
ing most upon Mrs. West to identify the
murderer in case he is arrested. A sub
scription has been started for Mrs. Riley.

Ramsey PAGER Takes Feature
Harness Event From Queen

Greeted with by far the largest crowd
of spectators seen at the meeting, the
state fair races yesterday were popular
from every standpoint. Even more en-
thusiastic than the day before, the crowd

The three running races brought out
good sport, with the running hOrsemen
in evidence in the mutual betting. The
first run, at four and One-halt turlongs,
saw Eel the strong favOrite, the talent
banking on the well known speed of the
Strife filly. After leading into the stretch,
Eel dropped back to show, however, and
Arthur Hyman outgamed Robert Mitchell
