COMMENT ON EISTEDDF0D.
Director of Ogden Choir Gives Version
of Salt Lake Singers Experience.

Especial to The neutrality-suspicious.
ogden, Sept. Professor Joseph Bal
Iantyne. director of the ogden tabernacle
choir. has returned from Seattle after a
ten days visit at the fair. He was in
Seattle at the time of the tilt between
the Salt Lake choir and the managers or
the ElsteddfOd over the charging of con-
testants an admission fee. He is of the
opinion that the affair has been consider
ably OverdraWn.
II do not think" he said, that the
management meant to insult the Salt Lake
singers, and had no thought of discrimi-
mating in any way. The people having
i'm charge the singing contest had decided
to charge an admission fee to all con-
testants and they We're simply carrying
out this rule when the Salt Lake choir
took exceptions. l am not in sympathy
with the rule. because / think contestants
in affairs of that kind should be admitted
to the auditorium free of charge. / think,
too, that IT would have been better and
more in line with diplomacy had the home
choir paid entrance fee under protest and
entered the contest 1t would have been
a paying proposition to have paid the fee
and then gone in and captured the Sl,WO
which, it is more than likely, the Salt
Lake choir would have done

.At the corner Of Washington avenue
sad Twenty-fourth street the water stood
fully four inches deep, having been
backed up there because the gutter lead
ing westward on Twenty-fourth street
was too small TO carry the flood.
On lower TWeuty-fifth street the street
was d sea of water.
r. began raining at about midnight last
night and continued necessarily until the
middle of the forenoon. when. for a brief
time. it looked as though the heavens

in the clouds had been swept out. Street
traffic was retarded and all street con-
structicn work was suspended.
The rain fell heavily i'm ogden canyon,
raising the Ogden river fully a foot.

CANNING FACTORY OPENS.
Light Output Expected at Willard
Conditions Unsatisfactory.

Especial 10 Inc ttefalu-ttep uDllCaIl-J
Willard, Sept 1.-The Willard Canning
company commenced operations today
The plant which is located near the depot,
was put in running order and operators
and girls We're employed. This year the
company contracted for only about one
fourth of the acreage of fruits and vege-
tables that were contracted for in pre-
viOus years For this reason the opening
season has been delayed as long as posi-
BILE and even now viii close at least as
early as other years. The factory at
Perry, which is also owned by the VIII
lard company, will not be operated at all
this year.
The COuse of the shortage is the small
crop of peaches suitable for canning pur-
poses and the beans and tomatoes were
not contracted for, as much Of last years
output is still stored in the factOTy's store
room. No apricOts or plums will be
canned this year and in all respects the
canning season in Willard will not be
a very profitable one.

and shortly after midnight he met Harry
Bolt and James Peay, who were return

Eleventh West street.
The officers hurried to the place. where
they found the lad in the firm grip or
John Durrant and Fred ThuTgOOd, two
neighbOrs, who had been called by Mrs.
Liddiard. It seems that as soon as the
robbery was over Ray hurried to his
sisters place, and proceeded to terTify
her. At first he confined his antics TO
the kitchen, where he scattered things
and started fire. A lot of letters and
papers were burned, but so far they can
assign no motive for it, Things were quiet
Tor awhile, and then Mrs Lld0lard heard
some one crawling along in the hall
toward her room. The door was open
and the light in the hall threw the boy
shadow on his sisters door. He was
crawling along with his siX-shOOter in his
hand. pointed directly at her as he reached
her door. Mrs. Liddiard jumped out of
bed and slammed the door in his face with
such force that he was knocked back into
the hall Then she jumped out of the
window and called for help. 1t was her
cries that brought i'm the neighbOrs. who
found Ray drunk and raving.
Ray has practically admitted the hold
up, and the victims are positive in the
Identification.
