ORGANIZE TO AID
CHILDREN TO PLAY
Association Formed to lnveS-
tigate Conditions in Public
Parks of City.

With the purpose of securing parks, lay
ing out Fairgrounds for the children and
following out in detail the plan of similar
associations organized throughout the
country, a public parks and Fairgrounds
association was formed last night at a
meeting held at the home of p. L. Will
liams, No. III Thirteenth East street.
George Y. Wallace was chosen as chair
man and Miss Kate Williams secretary,
while a committee on constitution and
bylaws and permanent organization was
named consisting of Mrs. c. Z. Allen, J.
Z. Dooly, Miss ROsalie Pollock, +. B.
Stephens and J. L. Letcher. This COM
mttee will report at subsequent meet
ing of the association.
The association will investigate city
conditions relating to Fairgrounds, study
the methods of making the playground
proposition a successful one and apply
the idea in the city. 1t will seek among
other things to have the city assume
charge of the Warm Springs as a resort
urge the establishment of d summer
swimming school and endeavor to have
parks laid out in City Creek canyon and
other portions of the city.
Several of those who are interested in
the new organization have given a con-
siderable amount of study to the parks
and Fairgrounds question.

.SALTAIR RAILWAY
FRANCHISE HEARD
Council Considers Request and
Asks City Attorney About
Legality.

After discussing features Of the pro-
posed new franchise for the Saltair rail-
road, members of the city council last
night sent the matter to the city attor-
ney to learn if the city has the right to
grant a franchise for three tracks on a
residence street in the city Joseph Mel
son, president. and J. Z. LangfOrd, gen.
eral manager, of the Salt Lake & Los
Angeles railroad, known as the SaltaiT
road, were before the council committees
and outlined their plans.
The company wants to lay an extra
track to the double track of the Utah
Light & Railway company on North Tenn
pie street west of Fifth West street and
to run two extra tracks on the Viaduct
over the Short Line tracks. They also
desire to run two more tracks on North
Temple street between Third West and
Main streets
The matter was taken up before the
committees = on municipal laws and
streets, but most of the councilmen dis
cussed the proposed plans. The electri-
flying of the Saltair road will be one OF
the first steps of the management, but
will not be done until after agreement
is made with the council regarding some
of the most vital points. 1t is said that
satisfactory arrangements cannot be
made with the Utah Light q Railway
company for track usage for the Salt
air cars. The plan of the Saltair gan
dSELlCuL Is 70 nave llltlT uUuDlt tEdCh
On the ViaduCt set with one rail between
those of the street car company and the
other outside, so as not to use the pres
ent rails.
From the tone of the councilmen last
night, however, it is believed that the
city viii insist upon the building of a
new viaduct over the Short Line tracks
so that one viaduct can be used for street
cars and the other for vehicles. This
feature, however, will be. opposed on the
ground that it will make the cost to the
company too great.
As the water in City creek on North
Temple street will soon be carried all the
way through q conduit. it is probable that
one of the tracks will be laid over the
conduit and thus not take up too much
of the street. The whole matter will
come before the councilmen next Friday
night for more discussion.
Before this was taken up, the municipal
laws committee approved the request of
officers at Fort Douglas that freight be
carried over the tracks of the Utah Light
& Railway company, between Salt Lake
and the fort. between the hours of a.
m. and 4 D. m. There will be some Op-
position to this when the matter comes
before the city council Monday night
however, as there are a number of the
cOunCilmen against granting freight
rights to the street car company further
than at present enjoyed

LIGHTS PUT OUT BY
MAIN STREET CAVE-IN
City Left in Darkness by Mishap in
Excavation for the New Kearns
Building.

Most Of the business district of the city
was in darkness for a few hours last
night owing to the breaking of a duct
cable by a cavern at the excavation for
the new Kearns building on South Main
street. The ground duct leading from the
main plant to Main street was left sus-
pended by the cables by the washing out
of the dirt on all sides A crib built on
the south side of the duct failed to retain
the earth.
With the breaking of the one cable
which feeds the block bounded by South
Main. First South, South and West
Temple streets, short circuit was
created and the more primitive candles
supplied the place of incandescents in
many business houses which had not
closed for the evening.
The break occurred at 4:40 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon and all but the one block
fed by the broken cable had been lighted
before o'clock. A duplicate cable was
installed and all lights were turned on
at o'clock.
The company is arranging to have du-
plicate cables for each block, and it is
promised that these will be in service in
q few DAYS.

RESCUE CORPS IN
UTAH COAL MINES
Inspector Petit Tells of Tests
Being Made to Save
Lives.
VISITS MANY C0LLERIES
PROBES FATAL ACCIDENT AT
sUNNYsIDE WHERE ROOF FELL.

]. E. Petit, state coal mine inspect
or, arrived home Friday from an in
spection trip which occupied nearly all
November. Mr.. Petit will visit the
mines at Coalville during the coming
week, will look at the gilsonite mines
in Uintah county and inspect other
mines before beginning his annual re-
port, which likely viii be out about New
Years. The fiscal year ends November
90
Mr.. Petit is asking mining companies
to send estimates of their output during
the fiscal year. the amount of powder
used and the number of men and ami
mails employed.
Mr.. Petit recently conducted an ex-
animation at Price, which resulted in
certificates being granted to five mine
fOremen and one fire boss.
One of the most peculiar accidents
which has come under the notice of In
spector Petit, the first of it's kind in
Utah, occurred at No. Of the Sunny
side mines on November 2, resulting
in the instant death of one Austrian
and the subsequent death of two others.
Eleven men were working in the third
right entry of the mine, when a
bounce occurred. The men were re-
moving the pillars" between two gal
leries. A fracture of the roof and a
subsequent forcing down of the weight
of the strata above caused the
bounce" coal being thrown out on
each side of the pillar.
During the last week Mr.. Petit went
to Castle Gate, where the Utah Fuel
company has been testing oxygen ap-
paratus for rescue work.
Under the direction of H. G. Williams
of the Utah Fuel company, Manager
Mingram of the Oxygen company
burned about five pounds of sulphur in
an abandoned working of the mine
Several of the officials present put on
the oxygen helmet and were able to
spend some time in the atmosphere. vi
tiated with sulphur, without suffering
i'll effects.
1t is expected that the Utah Fuel
company and other companies of the
state will purchase some of the appli-
ances and have corps of trained res
cuers at the mines. A resuscitating
device, which pumps oxygen into the
lungs, is being tested. Germany, Aus
tria, Russia, Belgium and England are
using these appliances. Only TIA are
in use in the United States. The tax
ing off of the duty on rescue appli-
ances by the last congress has had
the effect of reducing the cost in i'm
porting them. from Germany.

Contractor Says D. & r. c. Is Making
Big improvements on Its Line.

L. G. Skiliris, who has the contract for
supplying labor for the extensive i'm
provements under way on the Denver &,
Rio Grande railroad, returned from a trip
to Colorado yesterday. Mr. S1iliris saws
the company has 1,5O0 to 1000 men now
working and at various points along the
road in Colorado and Utah the work is
progressing rapidly.
He says that when the present plans
are completed, the rOsdbed of the Denver

the way, and it will be in as good physical
condition as any railroad in the country
Numerous changes in curvature will be
made and in addition to the double
tracking on either side of Soldiers Sum

over a large part of the Utah lines. Mr..
Skiliris saws that W. y. Dean. the new
superintendent east of Grand Junction, is
proving his worth and is apparently pom

superiors.

SALT LAKE MAN
FAST TYPEWRITER
His Record Much Better Than
Recent ASpirant Touted
as Champion.

Worlds typewriter records are be-
coming 50 habitual that they are hu-
mOrOus, and expert typists merely smile
at each succeeding announcement that
| some genius has blighted all past per-
formances and jumped into front rank.
Last night the Associated Press flashed
across the wires the startling news that
H. o. Blaisdell of New York had writ
ten 1,5G5 words from copy "he had not
seen before" in fifteen minutes. This
/ Is a little better than 100 words per
minute. The dispatch adds that the
previous high record was IS words
minute.
Twenty-Five years ago, F. z. McGur-
rim, now president Of the Salt Lake Sc
curity and Trust company. wrote on an
average of 9915 words a minute for from
fOrty-five 10 fifty minutes-it was so
long ago one hardly remembers trivial
details. He did this on wager at Gin
cinnati. The same year, at Chicago,
in the presence of one thousand persons,
he wrote 124 words in a minute and he
was blindfOlded. He really wrote 125
words, but one Of them was misspelled
Either OF these records is better than
that made by Blaisdell yesterday at St
Joseph, Mo.
Charles H. McGurrin, a brother of F.
E. McGurrin, is the acknowledged
champion of the world. His home is in
Kalamazoo, Mich. Six years ago ne
went to London and in competition he
wrote 107 words a minute for twenty
minutes, from copy he had not seen be-
fore" and there wasn't a flaw in the
copying. either.
The feat performed by F. f. McGur-
rim twenty-five years ago will doubtless
stand unchallenged through all time
The typewriter in those days was not
the perfect machine that il is today.
and when it is considered that nearly
100 words were ground out every min
ute for over three-quarters of an hour,

the organization of the society. and it is
probable that organization will be COM
