WULLNER SINGS EFFECTIVELY
German BaSso Delights Distinguished
Audience at Columbia Theater.
Receives Ovation for MAGNIFICENT
Rendition Of strauss Caeiie-Re-
turn Engagement Announced.

Dr.. Ludwig WuIner. the German basso,
sang before a distinguished audience in
the Columbia Theater yesterday after
noon It was an audience Of cultivated
musicians and society people. and their
enthusiastic applause meant far more
than ordinary hand-clapping.
Perhaps Dr.. Wullner did not appreciate
this but II he did. he did not entirely
warm Up TO his programme until toward
the end OF it. when he received almost
an ovation for his magnificent rendition
OF Richard Strauss Gaelic" He re-
turned after much bowling and brought
out his superb accompanies, Conrad Y.
BOs. and repeated the song.
Dr. WuIlner IS one OF the most dramatic
singers in the world. He presents
weird picture when he signs which adds
to the dramatic effect His whole figure
vibrates and responds 10 his every
phrase His enunciation is perfectly
clear and clean. and his diction most
beautiful.
His rather grotesque contortions are
not altogether pleasant at first but as
ne sings everything Is forgotten for the
picture he paints with his voice. His
programme showed him 70 be an artist
IN arrangement ard selection. and the
enjoyment OF his tones and interpreta-
tons lives far beyond the concert room.
The well-known and much abused Two
Grenadiers' had new meaning as Or.
Wuiiner sang IL, and was never as beau
tiful or effective before He acted II IN
voice and manner as he did. in fact. all
his songs The same should be said of
his singing Of the "Erlkonig," which
was thrilling in It's effect. DR.. WuIlner
does not Overdo. He is iunpassioned
without being hystericaI.

ABANDON BILL
/. FOR COMMISSION
City Administration Likely to
Give Up Effort for Wa
terWorkS Law.

Indications point to the abandonment
by the city administration of all efforts TO
secure the passage through the legislature
of q bill creating a water commission Tor
Ogden. When the matter of voting bonds
for the purchase of the water system was
I'D last summer Mayor Brewer and the
city council went on record as taVorlns
water commission, and pledged them
selves to that end In compliance with
this pledge, a bill was prepared and miro
duced, but so much opposition mas ue-
veloped here i'm the city that the sentiment
now favcrs dropping the subject alto
gether and allowing the wsteTworkS sys-
TEN to be operated by a committee or the
city council Much of the opposition IS
due to the feeling that the bill for the
Des Moines plan of city government may
become a law, and if this were done II
would eliminate all need Of a water com
mission. In this same connection CITY
Attorney J. II. Devine is coming IN tor
vreese censure. He prepared the bill
creating the water commission and put IN
il provision for an extra salary OF SluJ
month for the city attorney and - a
day extra for the city engineer II Is SAID
that he failed to submit the bill TO the
mayor and city council before having II
introduced in the legislature by Repre-
sentative McCracken- When the printed
bill reached Ogden the mayor and CITY
council met in special session and elimin-
ated these two objectionable features

city administration has not increased the
chances Of the passage Of the Dill through

APOSTLE M'KAY
FOR PROHIBITION
Addresses Audience in Taber-
naCIe on "The Moral Cues
tons of the Day."

In an address in the Ogden tabernacle
yesterday afternoon on THE Moral Cues
tions Of the Day" Apostle David o. Nc
Kay made a strong appeal for statewide
prohibition of the liquor traffic.
Every generation, the speaker said, had
it's duties to perform and its Responsible
ties to meet in the working out of the des-
tiny of the human race. He dwelt upon
the sacrifices made and the sufferinSS
endured by the forefathers in securing
independence and fighting the revolution
airy war; ne told of the sacrifices and suit
ferings of those who freed the slaves in
the civil war. Following this he said just
as great responsibility faced the men
of this generation in the putting down OF
the liquor traffic.
Prohibition, he said is the paramount
issue in Utah and the nation. He assert,
ed that the fight is on; that there would
be no let-up till every saloon and dive IS
closed and the traffic in strong drink as
dead as slavery is now dead.
Apostle Mckay traced the Influence ana
effects of the blind tiger and the open
saloon in the little community in which
he was reared. He cited many cases and
gave striking Illustrations TO prove the
evil of the drink traffic in any form lie
said the home was the salvation of the
nation and that as the father OF the home
had the right to keep out or drive out the
libertine who would enter his home 10
ruin his daughter, the citizen had the
same right to drive the whisky seller from
the community, the state or the nation
The speaker took hard fall out OF the
state senate, intimating that the mem-
bers of that body had violated the conf
deuce reposed in them by the people
that they were not responsive TO the de-
mands Of the voters.
He favored arOUsing public sentiment;
TO have the citizens get back Of those put
in places to enforce the laws, and If they
refused OF failed to enforce the laws to
drive them out and substitute other men
with a better sense of duty. If the legis-
Iature fails to enact a prohibition law at
this term, he favors taking the question
directly To- the people and the election
of a legislature that will be more respon-
sive to aroused public sentiment.
Incidentally Apostle Mckay denounced
the cigarette smoking habit and favored
a law that would put an end to it. He
also strongly Endorsed the Sunday-closinS
measure that passed the house of repre-
