WEEDS TO GET OUT
Of STATE SCHOOL
Bride Finds She is Still Ward
of the Juvenile
Court.

Juvenile court officers are much ex-
ercised over the most recent action OF
Lena Maudie Cracroft, an inmate of
the state industrial school at ogden, in
coming to Salt Lake last Saturday, OBJ
tanning a marriage license and marry
ing Brindley Williams. Her father &C
cOmpanied her and willingly gave her
away in marriage. She is now scarce
ly past her nineteenth birthday.
1t was stated yesterday that the girl
had not been so very anxious about be-
ing married, but simply wanted TO have
the laugh on Or. L. G. GOwans and the
matron of the school at Ogden. She
was allowed TO leave the school for a
few hours" Saturday TO come to salt
Lake to visit her parents, as she mad
done before. She returned to ogden
and presented herself to DR.. GOWans,
superintendent of the school, with her
rev husband and her father. She in
formed the superintendent that she
was married ana asked what he was
going to do about it.
The answer came in DR.. GOWans call
ing for the matrOn and sending the
bride back to her quarters, where she
will be kept and more closely watched.
Both husband and father started a
ed and finally left the grounds, the
husband somewhat under the influence
Of liquor.
1t is said by the Juvenile court Off
Gals that wards of the court often
get married, believing this will free
them from longer reporting to the
court or from further punishment. But,
according to Judge Alexander McMas-
ter, 1t makes no difference and in such
cases he believes in taking the wife
from the husband until ali matters are
settled.

MOTHER HIDES BOY IN
WALLS OF DWELLING
Officials Have to Gain Her Good VIII
Before They Can Find
Runaway.

How mother will work and scheme
to protect her children was illustrated
Yesterday in a search conducted BY
Chief Proba tion Officer Guardello
Brown and Charles .Sperry of the Ju-
venile court. The officers were finally
successful in catching the lad who es-
Gained from the Uintah Training school
last Sunday, but it was not until the
mother had been won over that the boy
was found.
The lad is fourteen years old and has
run away from the training school be
fore. Last Sunday he was allowed 70
go out with the other boys of the train
ing school for a walk. Three or the
lads broke away and did not return.
Two were surrendered by their parents
on Tuesday, however, and only this one
was still at large.
The two officers went to the BOY 5
home, but the little mother declared ne
was not there. The officers finally et-
fected an entrance to the house ana
declared they would tear down the
dwelling, if need be. They hunted IN
fba basement upstairs and in every
corner. Brown declared he would not
leave until he found the lad and 1t
would be better for the mother to give
him up.
So the mother, finding further re
sfstance useless, went to the attic ana
soon returned with the lad A mum Der
of laths had been ripped from the wall,
and after the boy was placed IN the
hole the lathS were tackled back on.
1t was almost impossible for him TO
have been discovered. The boy and his
mother were taken to the Juvenile
court in the afternoon, and Judge
Alexander McMaster told her OF the
danger of her course. She was finally
recOnciled to having her boy returned
TO the training school.

PIP. JENSON MAKES
HIT IN WASHINGTON
Happens Along lust in Time to
Address SuffragiStS and
Becomes a Lion.

Farley p. Jensen, former editor of the
Western Monthly. who is now studying
law in George Washington university.
Washington, D. c.. recently made an
address in the capital city in which he
Endorsed woman suffrage, and told of
what had been accomplished in Utah.
Mr.. Jenson's talk vas made in the pub
lie street the day after, the meeting
which was made notable by the suf-
fragists Kissing President Taft's re-
marks, for which the suffragists after
ward apologized most contritely.
The Washington newspapers thought
sufficiently well Of Mr.. Jenson's address
to devote considerable space to 1t. The
occasion was the forty-secOnd annual
convention of suffragists held in WASH
ingtOn last week. Mr.. Jensen happened
to be in Pennsylvania avenue and, in
the course of his walk, reached Seventh
street. Here traffic was blocked by
crowd listening to the women. A young
woman asked the Utahn to wear
badge bearing the Inscription Votes
for Women" to which he cheerfully
at the same time remarking
that he came from a state where the
issue had long ago been settled.
"a am from Utah." he said.
0DDll llCclA lis Ills tic SulLIdSElAt III
duced Mr.. Jensen to address the meet
ing on how woman suffrage worked in
Utah. and In a short time the embryo
lawyer was giving an eloquent descrip-
ton of how splendid the proposition OPP
Grated in this state, with the result that
he was showered with congratulations.
Every effort was made to induce him to
go to New York to address a meeting
in favor Of suffrage, and others at
tempted to have him permanently iden-
tify himself with the movement in
Washington.
A drinking fountain served as the ros-
trum from which Mr.. Jensen spoke. The
crowd was made up largely Of working
men, homeward bound, who listened
with interest to Mr.. Jensen and promi-
nent club women. While the speaking
was In progress Senator Robert NJ. La
Follette's daughter, Miss Caroline Lixon
of New York, and other pretty girls dis
tributed literature and buttons. The
speakers, aside from Mr.. Jensen, were
Mrs. Susan W. Fitzgerald Of Massa-
chusetts Mrs. Stanley Mccormick of
Massachusetts, Miss Ray Costelloe, an
attractive English girl. and Mrs. Har-
riet Taylor Upton, the national treas
urer Of the woman's suffrage move
ment.

One Man In Salt Lake SdW
HdLLey,s Comet rs Years Ago

n NE of the few men in America,
" and possibly the only man in Salt
Lake who has any recollection of seeing
Halley's comet seventy-five years ago,
is Garrett z. Conover of 134 West
Fourth South street. who. on March 81,
celebrated his one hundredth birthday.
When asked about having seen the
comet, the centenarian became enthusi-
astic when told that he would again
have the pleasure OF seeing the comet
as ne sa wit in 1896. when he was 20
years old, and was living in New Jer-
sey.
Il was a young man when Halley's
comet appeared IN the western heavens
seventy-five years ago." said Mr.. Con-
over There are some people who no
doubt remember seeing 1t when they
were children. but recall seeing it
when / was working in my fathers
field late one moonlight night. Our
farm was but a short distance from
New Brunswick, and remember the
wonderment that the comet caused
among the simple people Of the old New
Jersey town. The whole town was
startled by the wonderful sight which
spanned the heavens as far as the eye
could reach.
Evening after evening the people
gathered on the streets to behold with
fear and trembling the awe-inspiring,
but glorious sight, and wondered what
could befaIl the earth in consequence
Of it. Some said pestilence, some said
war, but most of them talked in whis-

LITTLE BOY AND
HIS SISTER LOST
NeighborS Search All Night for
two German Children Who
Have Disappeared.

When little Banheit, aged II years,
and his sister Anna, years old, son
and daughter Of Frederic Boetcher, a
baker. living at 11th West and Ninth
South streets, did not come home from
the onequa school yesterday after
noon, their mother became apprehen-
sive. When o'clock came and the
tots had not appeared. the parents were
alarmed and began to search for them.
AS darkness came on their fears in
creased, and when at midnight the chill
dren had not been found, Boetcher
walked eight long blocks to the near
est telephone at the home of a friend,
N. P. Anderson, $50 North Third West
street, and invoked the aid OF the po-
lice to find the children.
At midnight no report Of children
found had been received at police
headquarters. and Desk Sergeant
Pugsley so informed the distracted par
ents.
Boetcher left Germany about a year
ago, and has been III Salt Lake about
six months. The children formerly at
tended the Washington school, and
while they have been quick to learn,
they speak broken English. When
Boetcher spread the alarm residents of
his sparsely settled neighborhood
turned out with lanterns. Up to an
early hour this morning the police had
not been notified of the finding of the
children.
The Onequa school is but three
blocks from their home. The children
went home for their monday luncheon
yesterday. 1t was learned from the
teacher that they were dismissed with
the other pupils at $3.50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, and that following their
regular custom they walked away hand
in hand.
Mr.. Anderson, who telephoned the
police late last night, said he was I'M
able to account for the mysterious dis
appearance Of the BOetcher children
The Jordan river is only about three
short blocks from the schoolhouse, and
there was grave approximations lest
the children had wandered down to the
banks Of the stream and had been
dorwned.

pers about the great judgment day and
the end of the world.
TT was only a few years before that
the people had seen the total eclipse OF
the sun. when ali grew dark in midday
and the chickens went TO roost. The
people had also passed through the phe-
nornena of the meteoric shower when
the heavens were ablaze at night with
falling stars, so they we're pretty well
worked up by the time that Halley's
comet appeared.
Il look back seventy-f1ve years as
though it were yesterday. and see it
again-the great and awful mysterious
something hanging up there, with its
head toward the east and the measure
less tail reaching as far as the eye could
see, until # was hidden behind the
mountains.
$50 the big comet is going to appear
again? Are you sure it is the same one
that saw seventy-five years ago?"
When informed that IT was the same
Halley's comet and was already visible,
the old man sat up In wonderment. He
could scarcely believe that the evolution
of the heavens would again bring back
the wonderful sight, and that he would
live to see it a second time.
II have seen many comets in my day,
but, after all, they are not the most
wonderful things" he added 'In my
hundred years OF life I marvel more
about the wonderful changes in things
right here on this earth. How things
have changed since was a stripplin'
of boy"
The old man heaved a heavy sigh
and said that he would watch from the
door OF his home for Halley's comet.

SCREAM AND FALL ALARMS
CROWDS IN THE STREET

Just as the MONDAY crowd was
passing along West Temple street yes
terday a terrifying scream rent the air.
At the same instant there was seen to
fan from the top Of the new Fisher
building the form Of a man. Women
turned away and screamed and several
of them were on the verge Of fainting.
The sight was more than they could
stand. Men dashed from across the
street to see the mangled form. Great
was their establishment, however, when
they found it was nothing more than
dummy, rugged up for some purpose un-
known, and thrown from the top OF
the building TO the street below. So
great was the shock to some of the
women spectators that they did not re
cover their cOmDosure for hours after
wards. It was Q big joke on a great
many people, but If the perpetrators Of
il could have been found at that instant
there might have been a real tragedy.
so irate were some who witnessed the
affair.

Plague.
DR.. BEATTY TALKS TONIGHT
MOVEMENT TO AROUSE PUBLIC
TO DANGER.

Sunday will be observed as ''Tuber-
culosis day in many Of the city
churches, in accordance with the move
ment inaugurated by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis.

state board OF health, at the Jewish
synagogue this evening will discuss
simple preventive measures and explain
the need of proper sanitation and health
full living. DR.. Beatty Is one of the
leaders of the movement in Utah, and
he believes that the good that can be
done by educating the masses with re-
gard to tuberculosis can hardly be ex-
aggerated.
Rev. Samuel Colladay, dean of ST.
Marks cathedral, is also heartily in
sympathy with the concerted effort that
will be made on Sunday to arouse in
terest in modern preventive measures,
and will devote part of his morning
sermon to a discussion of the subject.
At the First Presbyterian church DR..
W. NJ. Paden will make the discussion
Of the subject incidental to his morn
ing talk, but though thoroughly in SYM
patty with the efforts being made to
lessen the evils of the white plague, he
does not feel that 1t is so I've an issue
in Salt Lake as It is in the east. DR..
Elmer 1. Goshen expects to introduce
the subject on Sunday at the First Con-
gregational church, and will. explain
some of the modern preventive methods
with which he is conversant.
Rev. P. A. Simpkin at Phillips Con-
gregational church will probably make
the matter a feature of his Sunday
evening address.
Rev. c. E. Perkins of St Paurs Epis-
copal church viii introduce the subject
IN his morning sermon, and win en-
deavor to create an interest in the
teaching Of effective preventive meas
ures. At Emmanuel Baptist church

JEWISH PASSOVER TO
COMMENCE TOMORROW
Quaint Customs, Symbolical of
Exodus From Egypt, Will
Be Observed.

The Jewish feast of the Passover, one
Of the most sacred festivals on the cal
endar of the Jewish religious year, will
commence tomorrow evening at sun
down. BY the liberal branch Of the
church, the festival will be continued
for several days, while those of the or
thodox branch viii celebrate for eight
full days.
The beginning of the Passover is coin
cident with the first full moon after the
vernal equinox, thus making it sort
Of spring festival celebrating the
awakening of nature from its winter
sleep. Ordinarily, the event comes be-
fore the Easter week of the Protestant
and Catholic churches, but this year,
which, according TO the Jewish calen-
dar, is leap year. there being seven
such years in each cycle of nineteen
years, the celebration is as late as it
ever comes. The first day of the Pass
over and Easter Sunday fall on the
same day once in every 400 years. This
was the case last year.
The feast of the Passover comment
crates the release from bondage of the
children of Israel and their exodus from
Egypt. On the first evening of the fes-
tival the "Seder" service is observed
in the Jewish homes. The family gath
ers at the table, which bears symbols.
The story Of liberation is told by the
father to the children, who ask series
of prescribed questions regarding 1t, the
answers being Illustrated by reference
to the symbols. These symbols consist
of a roast lamb, to designate the pas
chal bone; the unleavened bread; bitter
herbs, indicative of the life of slave;
unfermented Wine, and an egg symbol
ical of the resurrection. There is also
placed on the table the "cup of Elijah"
which is reserved for the welcome
stranger.
During the week of its celebration
those who observe the feast must par
take of no food or beverage of a leav-
ened nature. On the first evening of
the Passover, in the homes In which the
feast is observed, those partaking of
the service are Obliged to eat of the un-
leavened bread, known as matzOth, and
to drink four cups Of the unfermented
wine. After the first evening the eating
Of the matzoth is not obligatory. The
Passover festival celebration Is some
times called the festival of the un-
leavened bread" this food being signifi-
cant because the Israelites We're forced
20 leave Egypt in great haste and had
not time to wait until the bread had
become leavened.
There viii be a special service in Tenn
pie B'nai Israel at II O'Clock Sunday
morning In charge of Rabbi Charles J.
Freund.
