CABLE MESSAGE
 RATES REDUCED

New York, November 10.-(Special)- An inquiry having been made of Clar- ence H. Mackay, president of the Com merscia1 Cable company and the Postal Telegraph-Ca company, as to the ru- mors of pending reduction in cable rates, Mir. Mackay said
 "The Commercial Cable company has been at work for some time past in for mulating a plan by which the rates for cablegrams sent by the general public in other words, cablegrams in plain lan- guage as distinguished from code lam guage-can be reduced about one-half. That plan has now been worked out. and inasmuch as it will require the co-opera- ton of the telegraph lines in Europe, where the governments own the lines, our plan involves proportionate reduction in the land line rates charged by the Euro pean governments, and hence the coop eration of those governments will be nec- essary."
 A t present the cable rate is 25 cents per word. The proposed plan is to charge 12lk cents for every five letters In that class of cablegrams.
 We have found by careful investigation aud examination of great number of cable messages that plain language av- erages only five letters to the word, and hence if we charge only 121s cents for five letters (every letter in the cablegram being countey as though the whole cable gram was one word). the result would ne that the public in sending cablegrams would pay but one-half of what it now pays for those cablegrams, it being a part of the plan that these reduced rate mes sages will be subject to prior transmits sion of messages paid for at higher rate. We hope to be able to put the plan into operation in short time it being necessary first to make suitable arrange ments with the European governments.
 1T would add that this new mode of charging for cablegrams will be of de- cided advantage also to the business pub lie which uses a code, inasmuch as 1t will be an inducement to them to put portion at least of their cablegrams in plain language rather than use very complicated code which requires great deal of time on their part first to code and then to uncode.
 After the most careful consideration and study of the whole subject we are satisfied that this new method of charg- ing for cablegrams will not only reduce the charges for ordinary cableerams one- half but that the plan itself will be log ical, simple, workable and satisfactory"

ground floor.
Work Of excavating for the new
building is progressing rapidly, The
structure will be nearly twice as wide
as the one planned for the location
about three years ago. Much Of the
concrete foundation which was
placed at that time will have to be
removed, because it is not strong

finished work on the erection of the
structure may be pushed. The exaa-
walton will be completed in a few
weeks

WRECK HOME IN
SEARCH Of LOOT
Burglars Play Havoc In House
of William Scare, But
Get Little.

While William T. Scare, travelling
agent for the z. c. NJ. l., and his wife
were visiting neighbors last night,
robbers entered their residence, 227
Iowa avenue, and practically wrecked
the home in attempts to locate waltz
able jewelry. As near as Mr. Scare
can estimate, they secured iewciry
valued at less than SO, overlooking
watches and other articles which had
been secreted in drawers.
The burglars gained entrance By
prying open a window leading into the
dining room It is the belief that they
broke into the house soon after Mr.
and Mrs. Scare had gone out on the
visit, for every drawer and cupboard
of the residence was emDtied on the
floors. The police believe that it would
require fully two hours of hard work
for two strong men to perform the
work done by the burglars in the Scare
residence.

ITALIANS MAY VACATE
Founding of Colony in Louisiana Ex-
Dected to Draw Many From
Utah

With the intention of organizing an
italian colony at Lake Charles, La. to
rival the famous Tippo colony Of Cal
ifornia. Marthamartino Natal and
Piero Nathan of Salt LIE ke have p1lr-
chased several extensive truck farms
in Louisiana. Natal and Nathan
went to Lake Charles two weeks ago
as agents of numerous wealthy Ital-
JAMS of Salt Lake. Thew are expected
TO return to Salt Lake within the next
ten days, when arrangements will be
made for wholesale emigration 20
Louisiana.
In the examination of soil in the
vicinity C Lake Charles il has been
found thai il corresponds favorabiy
with the soil Of famous vineyards in
southern Italy. After working on rail-
roads and in general construction Ital-
ians of the arid regions have come to
the conclusion that they can devote
their energies more proftably toward
pursuits of raising fruits and grapes,
for which the people OF their native
land have become famous. The or
ganization of the Tippo colony in CAL
ifOrnia has resulted in the production
of several italian millionaires.
The movement which is headed by
Ma tall and Nathan extends among
many of the Italians of Utah and Col
orado. and before the close of the
summer it is expected that fully 100
Italians from the arid regions will
have settled on truck farms about
Lake Charles, La A majority o. the
members of Salt Lakes Italian colony
are said to be interested in the COL
onizatiOn plans, and are aLxiouslv
awaiting the return of Natal and

MAYOR APPROVES PLAN
WRITES LETTER COMMENCING
PROJECT TO CITIZENS.

A mass meeting. which was largely
attended, was held at the home of
Oscar Van Colt, 1928 South Main street,
last evening for the purpose of dis
eussing the annexation to the city Of
the territory lying between Tenth and
Twelfth South streets and from State
street to the right of way Of the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Rail-
road company.
The sentiment of the meeting favored
annexation if the city can arrange to
connect with the county water mains
At State and Eleventh South streets
Immediately. Speeches in favor of an
nexatiOn were made by Joseph Ander-
son, representative of the Commercial
club; Oscar Van Colt, R. J. Wills, L.
c. MarigeT, Ray Van Colt and others.
A committee Of five, composed of A.
w. GALLAGHER, chairman; Oscar Van
Colt, Joseph Anderson, John Cabot and
Ray Van Colt, was appointed TO wait
upon Mayor Bransford. This commit
tee will report to an adjourned meet
ing to be held in the Burton school
building Saturday evening, May 81. The
mayors letter on the subject is:
Mr.. A. w. GALLAGHER.
Dear Sir-COnfirming our CONVEX
satiOn of a few days ago with refer
ence to the annexation of the territory
lying between Tenth and Twelfth South
and State streets and Second West
street, viii say that 1 note that you
and others have been working for some
time with a petition for the purpose
of adding this part of the territory to
the city of Salt Lake.
4 personally believe that this should
be done, as I consider that the divid-
ing line should be at that point. This
will make of Salt Lake greater city
for all of the citizens residing in that
section I understand that the pos
sibilities are that mass meeting will
be called for the purpose of bringing
this matter to the attention of the
persons residing in said territory. and
one of the most important things which
would be discussed would be the ques-
tion of the water supply for this dis
trict.
You have explained to me that you
have a four-inch water main already
laid in the county, and you asked that
the city of Salt Lake extend its water
main from the present terminus TO
west on Eleventh South street and con-
meet with the county mains at the cor
ner Of State and Eleventh South streets.
This work will be done as rapidly as
possible on the part of the city.
You are at liberty to read this per-
sonal communication to the mass meet
ing. Hoping that the citizens residing
in this territory will see that it is to
their advantage to be annexed to the
city of Salt Lake and believing that
it is for the benefit of all concerned,
] am,
yours very truly.

RIPLEY TELLS WHY
RATESARE So HIGH
President of Santa Fe Denies
That Consumer Is Injured
by Tariffs.
EVERY CITY COMPLAINING
MUNICIPALITIES HAVE SAME
BoGEY, SAYS OFFICIAL.

Departing from the usual custom OF
high railroad officials. President E. p.
Ripley Of the Santa Fe gave out an
unqualified statement to the San
Francisco papers the other day, in
which he forecasted the effect of the
amendment of the interstate COM
merce act, and then defended the rail-
roads in their announced intention OF
advancing freight rates to the Pacific
coast
1.-The rate from New York to Los
Angeles is lower than the rate from
New York to Salt Lake in order to
meet the water competition" Presi-
dent Ripley is quoted as saying. THE
effect is to allow Los Angeles to do a
jobbing business into the interior be-
cause OF its location by tidewater.
Eliminate this condition, and the rail-
roads would find il impossible to mako
Pacific coast terminal rates, and the
jobbing business of the Pacific coast
would be reduced to practically moth
ing"
Mr.. Ripley has a sedative for The
ultimate consumer. 1t is that the final
user of any product shipped by freight
suffers no injury in an increase of
freight rates.
Railroad freight rates. said Mr.
Ripley, are not OF nearly as muSn
Importance as believed by the aver
age citizen. If these rates were raised
25 to so per cent the ultimate con-
sumner wouldn't know If the so-called
experts hired by the cities to find fault
with the railroads and the newspapers
would keep still.
A pair Of shoes in Los Angeles does
not cost the user more than SO cents
more than in Chicago. And of that
increased cost about cents repre-
sents the cost of transporting the pair
of shoes across the continent. If the
Jobber or the merchant imposes a tax
of so cents on the consumer TO pay a
fault of the railroads. A cigar or a
for in Denver costs 10 cents in Lead
Vile. And while the track between
Denver and Leadville is probably The
most expensive track to operate any,
where, it is absurd to charge the tax
of 10 cents on the cigar and the beer
to the freight rate
Every city seeks to build itself I'D
commercially at the expense of every
other city. And every city has an
idea that its destiny is that of a great
metropolis If it were not for farcied
Determinations made bv the railroads
IN favor Of other cities. The CITY

and these experts always return an
Indictment against the railroads. 1t
Is impossible for the railroads to ar
range rates from everywhere 10

Mrs. GulbranSen was reading a

in the bedroom where the children
were asleep. She listened for 8 mo-
ment, and came to the conclusion that
they had become restless, and contin-
ued reading her paper. Presently she
heard something drop to the floor, and
she rushed into the bedroom.
With their pockets filed with the
most valuable articles that could be
found in dresser, the burglars leaped
out of the window and disappeared,
running down Tenth East street Mrs.
Gulbransen is of the opinion that both
were under rs years of age. and posi-

stolen included a diamond stud valued
at $25, ruby ring valued at S25, two
heavy gold band rings valued at SIS
each, a box Of gold stick pins valued
at $50 and several raZors asd other

YIELDS RAZOR IN FIGHT.
Greek Wounded by Man Who Would
Not Pay for Meal.

Louis Chienis, Greek, was terribly
cut about the head and arms in a res
taurant at 222 State street shortly
after o'clock last evening by Frank
Lewis. Lewis ordered a meal and re-
fused to pay for it. A heated argu-
ment followed, which ended in Lewis
attacking the Greek with a razor, in
fiicting several severe gashes about the
head and arms. Lewis fed to the
street, where he ran into the arms of
Police Sergeant Hemphili, who took
him to the police station, where a
charge of assault with a deadly wea-
pom was placed against him. The in
jured man was taken to the emergen-
cy hospital, where his wounds were
dressed by DR.. Sprague. About twen-
ty-hve stitches were necessary to close
the wounds. The proprietor of the
restaurant states that there was an
other man who took part in the af-
fray, but he made mis- escape.
