INTO NAVY
WILL Be SWEEPING
Legislation May Back Many
Of the Proposed
Reforms.

One OF the possibilities Of the naval
reform situation, which has been
brought to an acute head by Secretary
Meyer and the orders he has lately de-
termined on, is sweeping investiga-
ton of the Navy Department by a joint
committee of Congress.
Such an investigation would be aimed
at the roots OF the Navy Department
troubles. The unbusineSslike conduct Of
the yards would be looked into, the
question OF what yards could profitably
be abandoned, the need for an advisory
board or general stan created by law.

ing bureaus and other important mat

most part viii be put into effect with
out legislation. At the same time, he
will have 10 have certain legislation in
order to completely carry out his pro-

ish the Bureau of Equipment, but he
cannot do this until Congress has en-
acted law for its adjustment
1t is expected the questions Of abol-
ishing the Bureau OF Equipment will
como up in Congress. It will be raised
by some of the members Of the Naval
Affairs Committee. When this cues
ton is raised, then will come UP the
broader question of whether Mr.. Mey-
er's reforms go far enough or too far,
and whether. II there are to be re-

into law and thus be placed beyond the

A Congressional investigation has al
ways been the realization that the

Points Of order paved the way for
the defeat of the two Shannon resolu-
tons Although there were in the
neighborhOod Of 800 persons present. the
fight never reached the point where It
could be participated in generally. be-
ing confined to the strategic moves by
the leaders.
There was no means LN which the
strength of the two sides could be de-
termined. until the vote indicated the
opposition to be practically unanimous
Two resolutions and two substitutes
were offered. The first resolution was
ruled out Of order, as was the first
substitute. 1t was the vote upon the
second substitute, proposed by Albert
}. Schulteis, that revealed the cham
ber's attitude.
Inc FIRST resolution, proposed by Will
liam T. shannon, was the following;
Resolved. That a COMMITTEES Of fifteen
be chosen by the chamber to submit at
the next regular meeting a practical
plan whereby citizens and civic organi-
cations representing every section of the

Francis Scott Key Smith raised the
point that # was out Of order as the
meeting had been called for the purpose
Of considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF nom
mating gentlemen for Commissioners.
The point Of order was sustained.
Mr.. Shannon offered a second resoIu-
ton. which provided that the chamber

sitiOn made its only unsuccessful move.

recommendation for appointments to

NO CARS TO HAUL BETS.

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Ogden, Nov. III. II. Rolapp of the
Sugar company says the
company has over 10 600 tons of sugar
beets piled up near the railroad tracks
between Ogden and Logan, awaiting
transportation.
The railroad companies are not able to
furnish cars. The roads are taxed to
their utmost capacity IN handling the
heavy tonnage i'm coal, flour, grain and
other products. The sugar company is
not complaining of the action of the rail-
doing all they can to get cars and are
giving the sugar company its share of the
cars that are available.
The fact remains, nevertheless, that it
viii be some time before the entire beet
crop can be transported to the factories
in the northern part of the state. A car
famine is prevented in Utah and Salt
Lake counties in the maintenance of beet
crushers in various parts of the sugar
beet area, to which the beets are hauled
by team, the distance from the Crusners
to the beet farms being short. 1t is said
that if there continues to be a shortage
of railroad cars for the hauling of the
beet crop in the north, crushers win have
to be established in that section.
The spur track between the Rapid
Line at Harrisville has been built and
the beet crop of the Plain City district is
ready for shipment and will be shipped
as rapidly as cars can be furnished for
that purpose. The beet digging is not
being checked, but the beets are being
placed in great heaps, awaiting the time
of their removal.

THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, but
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and N
this way regaining health and happi-
ness can learn much from the expert
ence of others who have made the trial.
One who knows says: Il drank cOf-
fee for breakfast every morning until
I had terrible attacks of indigestion,
producing days Of discomfort and nights
OF sleeplessness. 1 tried to give UP the
use of coffee entirely, but found it
hard to go from hot coffee to a glass
Of water. Then 1 tried Postum.
1T was good and the effect was so
pleasant that l soon learned to love
it, and have used it for several years.
I improved Immediately after I left off
coffee and took on Postum, and am
now entirely cured of my indigestion
and other troubles, all of which were
due to coffee. I am now well and con-
tented, and all because I changed from
coffee to Postum.
Postum is much easier to make right
every time than coffee, for it is so even
and always reliable. We never use cof-
fee now in our family. We use Postum
and are always Well"
There's a reason and it is proved by
trial.
Look in pkgs for copy of the ia
nous little book, THE Road to Well
Vile"
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true and full of human
interest.

BUNGALOW THEATRE.

At the Bungalow theatre this week is
being presented an act by La Loie Hell
ane termed the Dance of Death In this
dance the young lady shows by her grace
full movements that she is in a class with
such dancers as Maud Allen, Loie Fuller
and Gertrude Hoffman. The dancing of
this beautiful young woman is not the
least bit suggestive, and could not Of
fend a single person. Her Cleopatra
dance is something that is beautiful from
an artistic standpoint, telling a story by
her dancing. while her Dance of Death.
in which she uses a live snake, is good.
The bill, which includes Barnes eIn-
plants, Don and Thompson, Rivel and
Deery and Sampson and Douglas, will
run until Wednesday evening with a mat
inee every day at 2:30. The management,
by special arrangements. will have the
returns from the election read from the
stage tonight.

FOUND SLEEPING IN A CAR

Hand-in-hand they came into the police
station at o'clock this morning, the girl
in short dresses and the boy wearing
short trousers. They had been arrested
at the car barns where for the past three
nights they have occupied one OF the
street cars set upon a side track, while
frantic parents have been making a
search for the girl. Not day over IL
years of age, judging from her appear
ance, the girl who gave the name of Myr-
tie Arnold. and said her parents lived
at Eighth South and Second East streets,
said she had meant no wrong; that she
had had to leave home and that Ernest
Raymond whose appearance suggested II
or u years, had been her good friend and
lad stayed with her so that she would
not be afraid
The children said that they had nowhere
else 10 GO and that they had slept upon
thI seats of the street car 1t was there
that PatrOiman Thomas Gillespie found
them the boy sleeping upon one side and
the girl on the other side of the car Their
declared innocence Of WrOngdOing. aside
from remaining away from their respec-
tive homes, seemed borne out by the APP
pearance of the children. They were
locked up at the city jail this morning,
and today an effort will be made to
bring the cases to the attention of the
juvenile court

ADJUSTMENTS
1.-THE MAN OF THE HOUR"

The return OF "The Man of the Hour
to the Salt Lake theatre is a welcome
addition to the seasons offerings
Though seen here twice before, it is
still regarded as a strong attraction
and with the present company, ranks
high in favor with theatregOeTs. The
hold this play has on the public is due
to the interest taken by all classes in
local affairs. City government, graft,
boss rule, are of vital interest, and this
play, though II may or may not be
an expose of common practices, gives
the impression of being true picture.
It is besides an inside picture and Of
fers opportunity of seeing the wires
pulled that could not be had off the
stage. Again, the genuinely high char
acter of the motives and ideals and
the conclusion that graft is not always
triumphant appeals to the popular
taste and sense Of fair dealing.
There are three persons in the cast
who assure success. Felix Haney, John
Moore and Arthur Maitland are a
strong trio and in their scenes to-
gether nothing better could be hoped
for in this or any other play.
The rival aldermanic bosses, Horri-
gan and Phelan, are the center Of in
terest throughout the play. Even the
mayor Is secondary and the love af-
fairs are subordinate. Phelan. as
played by Mr.. Haney, is so true de-
lineation that 1t s hard to realize that
the part was not IlrSL created Tor MIN.
His humor is delightful and a welcome
contrast to some very serious and tense
situations Second credit should be
given to John Moore, as HOrrigan, who
plays around Phelan. There Is moth
Ing more welcome than the meeting of
these two. When Phelan scores at the
close it is felt that it be the only
proper contamination.
The company is good almost without
exception Many minor parts that are
not always well looked TO are in this
play taken care of in. creditable fashion.
The greatest weakness is evident in
the women's role, for Miss Winthrop
Is hardly strong enough for the impor-
tant part of Dallas Wainwright. Miss
Mack. as Mrs. Bennett. is better, and
she comes out strong in her principal
scene with the mayor when, as his
mother, she urges him to think only
of his duty, no matter what the cost
to her. II is in this expression of noble
sentiment that the lines of this play
are strongest and the welcome accorded
them evidences the healthy, whOles ONE
preferences of the audience.
"The Man of the Hour" will appear
here for only a short engagement, run
ming Tuesday and Wednesday nights
and Wednesday matinee.
