GARNER ON MONKEY TALK
Their Human Interpreter Is Preparing a Lexicon
Conversation in Brief.

preceptIbly thrilled. Il IS a clear nelo-
dious sound, OF rather low pitch for the
voice OF monkey, but distinct and wen
mOdulated.
In response 10 this call the MONKEY
addressed utters sound closely approxi-
mated by the letters 'eu-nh IN which the
dipthOng 'eu' represents that I'M me
French words peu, feu. &c To this sound
the frst speaker Invariably reiolns with
the want sound. 'qhui. which mas al

may be construed as meaning I want
YOU or I want 10 get with YOU
IF the call sound fails 20 elicit a
prompt response. II is usually repeated
several times az short intervals. and when
a response is received the first speaker
periodically repeats the want sound

1T may be said that the call sound

as the original speaker thereby maaifests
the want 10 know the Whereabouts OF the
second party, and II Il true that IN that
sense a want is implied. but by a ike
process OF reasoning II could be shown
that the response 'eu-nh.' implies want
OF the second party 10 make known its
whereabouts.
To Find a Friend.
The fundamental motive OF all speech
perhaps. Is desire: but the true function
Of Il is 20 convey and dlfferentiate ideas.
and the sound 'our'h' appears 10 have no
function other than that OF locating the
whereabouts OF a second party. In mean
ing. its nearest equivalent IN human
speech Is perhaps hello or 'ahoy' II
might be roughly translated. where are
your or are you thereg as the English
alone expresses want In the sense CT gain
ing possession OF something.
1T has been suggested 10 me by a
friend that 'Qhui.' as used 81 the c0nversa-
lion quoted. may mean come or come
here but such an Interpretation ls pre-
cluded from the fact that the monkey
using IL never waits for the other 70 come
or decline 10 come. but proceeds in the
direction from which the response came.
and apparently has no thought of the
other coming 10 g.
If monkey OF This species be ad-
dressed by a name which IL has learned 70
recognize as its own. as my monkey readi-
ly does. it gives the same response 90 n
as it gives 10 the call sound 'our'h.' and
from this fact e must be inferred that Il
recognizes the name as substitute for
the call sound. otherwise e would be liable
at times 20 reply with 'qhur or some
other irrelevant sOund-a thing which
have not once known q 20 DO When

and at other times 7 call II By name. and
IN either case 7 receive the same re-
spOnse.

KAISERS' DEATHS
MERE ACCIDENTS
Authorities Satisfied and In
designations Have Been
Dropped.

As a result of Investigations by
County Attorney Job Lyon and Sheriff
Joseph c. Sharp, it is now believed that
the arsenic poisoning OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank T. Kaiser was an accident and
the investigation has been dropped
This conclusion was reached after talk
ing with J. z. Mcdonald, proprietor of
the Call drug store at BOuntiful who
purchased a quantity of drugs from A.
b. Elder several months ago.
Some suspicion attached to Elder
through the fact that the can of arse
mic, which was used as baking powder
by the Kaisers and caused their death.
was owned by him and later given to
his mother. The can of arsenic was
rot labeled and in this manner the
white poison was used in the dumplings
UnaWaTes. 1t was claimed that Elder
might have intended the poison for his
mother, but that she gave it to the
Kaisers, who were the unsuspecting
and Unintentional victims of the deadly
drug
Mcdonald told the county officials
that ne had called at Elders home for
the drugs, but that he did not want
the can of arsenic which Elder tried
to sell him. This was Ie1t in the
house, ard Elder has claimed since
that he thought it was among the other
drugs sold to the Bountiful druggist.

YOUNG MAY GET
BETTER POSITION
Former Salt Lake Railroad
Man May Profit by the
Shakeup.

salt Lake railroad men were com
mentinS yesterday upon the bright
chances J. H. Young, the former Salt
Laker who is general superintendent
of the Southern Pacific, has of being
promoted during the sha1eup which is
expected to follow the death of E. H
Hartman. According to reports cur
rent in New York, +. +. Calvin. vice
president and general manager of the
Southern Pacific system, is slated for
larger position. In this event it is
believed that w. r. Scott, assistant
general manager Of the Southern
Pacific, will be given Mr.. CaIvin's
present position and Superintendent
Young will succeed Mr.. Scott.
W. A, McGoveTn or H. b. Platt will
likely succeed Mr.. Young, who is one
of the best known Utahns in the rail-
road world.
MT. Young is a son of lie Grand
Young. He started in the railroad
business when a boy in Salt Lake and
won promotion step by step. He be
came superintendent Of the Utah &
Northern, and afterward sUperinten-
dent of the o. r. & n. From that time
on his advancement was rapid.
MIR. Young has a host of friends
among the railroad men of salt Lake
and they were all hoping yesterday
that he would be promoted. They re
gard him as one of the most com
petent railroad men in the United
States and say that his thorough
knowledge of the west makes him ex-
tremely valuable to the Hartman sys-
tenn at the present time.

west. She was a guest at the Wilson

the attentions shOwered upon her by
MI Ramey With her aunt she went
on to California and then returned to
her home in Oklahoma city, Okla. Mr..
Ramey has made several mysterious
visits to Oklahoma, and it was only
after they learned that the present
Mrs. Ramey was an Oklahoma girl that
his friends were able to explain his
periodical trips.
Miss Mclean was met at the train
IN Ogden by Mr.. Ramvy and they were
married by Judge Howell The bride

no important reason for not annOunc-

to avoid the prominence which usually
attends such an event
The bride is an extremely handsome
young woman and already likes Utah
far better than Oklahoma.

extensive that he had to devote most
of his time yesterday to explaining to

Carey Act.

At noon yesterday the state board of
land commissioners filed papers with the
United States land Office applying for
the segregation Of 29,S79,S7 acres Of land
in Emery county under the Carey land

George A. Snow Of Chicago, acting as
trustee for the BuckhOrn Irrigation
company, which will be Incorporated
