DISEASE IN 90
SALT LAKE HOMES
City Health Commissioners Gets
Busy at Last, and May
Do Something.

An absolute quarantine
against milk coming into Salt
Lake from three diaries at
Woods Cross was established
yesterday as the most string
ent step in the fight of the
city and state health officials
in fighting the present typhoid
fever epidemic which is in
about 80 homes in Salt Lake.
The three diaries were those of the Moss
Brothers, the Golden West and the
Mountain. 1t was found that customers
of each of these diaries had typhoid and
conditions in that vicinity was responsible
for the action of the health officials. The
Golden West dairy is conducted by d. r.
Grant. a brOtheT-iTf-l1W to the Moss
brothers, and it is said he had been ex-
changing milk with them. The Wood S
Cross Dairy was prevented several days
ago from bringing milk into Salt Lake,
when it was found that scarlet fever eX-
listed in the family of the DroprietOrs.
It was expected that the typhoid victims
would be reported in far less numbers
yesterday, but nine cases came to the
attention of the city board of health. They
are:
EARL PENNEY, aged II, 275 D street
MISS HARDY, aged 19, 236 East Third

R. S WOODS, aged 81, Belmont hotel,

Sydney, n. S, Sept 2l-COmmander

Had Good Trip.

Mr. Prouty left Vermont last Saturday
and said he made a good trip through
the east, and ne did not appear to be
weary after the long journey.
Il have been here several times" said
the commissioner, and at other seasons
Of the year, but I do not recall any Of
my previous visits when the weather was
so cold here. 1t was quite warm in Oma-
ha, but we struck colder weather coming
through the mountains and ran into two
snOWstoTms."
Speaking of the hearing which starts
in the federal building today, and of its
Importance to the parties to the case,
Commissioner PrOuty said:
Il have not read the complaint in the
Salt Lake case, or the answer. The
members of the commission, however, are
familiar, in a general way with these
cases involving the inland and the coast
cities. Practically the same question IS
encountered in the case brought by Spo-
kane, the Reno case, and the case OF
Naricopa county, of which Phoenix IS
the central point. The cases involve
much interest, and mean a great deal of
money to the railroads. and just as
much of course tO, the people,
Mr.. PTOuty paid his last visit to Salt
Lake, prior to the present one, in an Of
fetal capacity. about two years ago, at
that time looking into the question Of
the ownership OF coal lands by railroads.
The interstate commerce commission mad
been instructed by congress 10 inquire
into the ownership Of coal lands by the
railroads and Mr.. PTouty came here at
that time TO investigate the ownership Of
wyoming lands by the Union Pacific rail-
road.

Everything Is In Readiness
for Hearing the Complaint Of
the People Concerning Treat
ment by the Railroads.
RAILROADS SEND THEIR
MOST EMINENT COUNSEL
Commissioner PrOuty Arrives
to Hear the Testimony and
the Traffic Bureau Is Ready
to Begin Great Battle,
RAILROADS ARE ANXIOUS

With the arrival in Salt Lake last
night of Charles A. Prouty Of Yer
mont. a member Of the interstate
commerce commission, to participate
in the rate hearing which opens in
this city today, practically all the not
ables who will take part in the in
quiry were on the ground.
Mr.. PrOuty, accompanied by Morris
W. Knowlton, his stenOgTapher,
reached the city shortly after s
O'Clock, having come from the east
over the Union Pacific, and went at
once to the Wilson hotel, where rooms
had been reserved for him.
Commissioner Prouty said he had not
read the complaint or the answer in the
Salt Lake case, but is familiar with the
rate controversy involving the inland and
the coast cities, and expressed himself
in a manner similar to Commissioner
Clark, who reached the city Monday even
irg, saying that the question involved
in the Utah case was a very important
one; more important, in fact, than any
which has occupied mis- attention on any
of his official visits to this city III the
past.
There was a rumOr in circulation last
night that Commissioner PTOuty might
not be present at the Salt Lake hearing,
the report having reached the ears OF sew
eral persons interested in the hearing.
When informed that there had been some
doubt expressed as to his arrival, Mr.
PTOuty smiled and said;
Just tell them that we do not arrange
a hearing for a certain date unless we
intend TO be there at that time"

MUCH INTEREST IN
GREAT RAILROAD

Washington, August 26.-Interest in
the proposed great intercontinental
railroad connecting North and South
America was revived by the reported
purchase of the Pan-American railroad
by David e. Thompson, the American
ambassador to Mexico, who is under
stood to have associated with him
coterie of st. Louis millionaires. The
statements that extensive improve
ments and extensions of the existing
road are to be made are received with
hearty satisfaction in Washington
where much attention has been paid,
in official channels and otherwise, to
the possibilities that will follow rail-
road connecting the continents of North
and South America.
With American capital and enterprise
behind such a link. Important steps
with regard to the development of the
whole line may be looked for. In the
absence of specific information on the
subject, the officials here are not in
clined to believe that Mr.. Thompson's
acquisition of the line is not an oc-
ment is at present taking a great in
terest in the administration of tho
roads, and nothing has come from that
source in regard to the merger ex-
cepting a rumor that the Mexican gov
eminent has secured an interest In sew
eral railroad properties.

SIcILlAN VIEWS SHOW
TAoRIMiNA AND MESsINA.
Sketches and Photographs by ozias
Dodge During His Three Weeks Stay
There.

Visitors to the Converse Art Gallery
Will find an interesting exhibit of Sicil-
ian sketches by Director Ozias Dodge
of the Art school. These sketches and
photographs were taken by Mr.. Dodge
during the three We eks he spent at
Taormina and Messina. and are of es-
peclal interest just at this time, when
everything connected with the scene
OF destruction en- the Strait of Messina
is eagerly sought out. They reveal the
brilliant color of this region, the type
OF beauty among the people, whose
Greek descent may be traced in their
regular features, their daily tasks and
occupations, the volcanic nature of the
country and the poorly constructed
houses md narrow streets. One won
ders less at the appalling loss of life
on considering these houses, built of
heavy stones from the fields, rudely put
together or the many stone archWays
which cross the narrow streets. One
view shows an old Greek ruin in the
center Of Taormina with Mt Etna-
twenty miles away In the distance,
and In front the village of Giardina,
which is the headquarters of the re-
lief work at Taormina.
Perched on the edge Of a rocky cliff
of volcanic oigin, 400 feet high, was
the Hotel Domenico, in Taormina, the
only building there which was de-
stroyed by the earthquake. This was
shaken off its rocky height and fell like
the oranges which the boys used to
throw from its windows down into the
sea below.
Castillo Mola is on a cliff even high
er than that of Hotel Domenica and
may be reached only by climbing the
steps cut In the cliff. One picture
shows a donkey being driven UP this
path. The goal girl and the spinners,
the girls bringing large baskets Of
lemons down to the city, the blind beg
gar and donkey wagon picture the dali
ly life.
The weird and gruesome funeral pro-
eession of cowled and sheeted monks
was a hazardous thing to sketch. and
might have landed the artist behind
prison walls for his sacrilige. The
color Of the almond trees in blossom
and of the views in the Strait Of Mes
sina, taken from Messlna, and showing
the Calabrian coast line opposite, make
brilliant pictures of italian sunshine.
A map of Sicily will accompany the
exhibit. Mr.. Dyer has also promised
to loan two or three pictures of Sicil-
ian scenery, and perhaps others may
haze something interesting in this con-
neetion which they may be willing to
add.

has also recently resigned to take an
other position, the scope of the work
in Norwich has been greatly broad
ened, the departments organized and
the club and class work developed.
There are about 200 children now in
