PLAN OPENING ALLEYS
At COST OF S12,000,000
Street Committee FavorS a Big
Improvement in Busi-
ness District

Proceedings to open alleys in the
business district between Los Angeles
and Figueroa. Sixth and Tenth We're
started by the streets anu bouleVards
committee yesterday when it decided
to recommend to the council that the
city attorney and city engineer draft
the necessary ordinances.
Councilman Miles Gregory, chairman
of the streets committee who is also
an expert real estate man, estimated
yesterday that it would cost about
St2 100000 to make these improvements.
1t is the committees idea that each
block must stand the expense of open
ing its own alley and no district Will
be formed to bear the burden of the
cost. 1t is expected that the cost will
be heavy, but as the property owners
who will be awarded damages by the
courts are the same ones who will have
to pay the damages it is sort of
proposition of one hand washing the
other
There are thirty-seven alleys to be
cut through, all of them running from
north to south. In these opening pro-
ceedings a majority of the property
owners will not be required to petition
for the Improvement, for the council
realizes that probably very few of them
would go through if such a requirement
was made. The alleys are considered
necessary for traffic and as a means
of better fire protection The location
of the alleys was arranged by the fire
commission.

COTTON WISER BUT
IS $4,000 SADDER
So Called 'WaIIingford' Is Said to
Have Bunkoed Business
Men of Big Amount

! SAN BERNARDINO Dec CA man who
according to stories told the police, is equal
in guile to the original j. Rufus WallingfordS
has been visiting at Cotton. He has also left,
and behind him are a bunch of frantic capi-
talists who claim TO be short $50 900. Henry
Miller. man of 30 and large proportions,
lis charged with playing the part of Walling
ford. With the assistance Of "Baclde Daw,' -
who also played a part in the deals. he is said
to have got the $4,000.
The money, it is charged went TO settle
with other heirs to an estate Of 100000 in
the east and to pay the income tax. The for
mer item drew $4,000 and the latter 5000.
The only point where the so-called J. Rufus
lost out was when his sweetheart threw him
over and married another This was two
weeks before his departure.
Miller as he calls himself, arrived in Cotton
two months ago. He said all he had was his
hands and his tongue. He leased the former
to Henry Kraiser, contractor, hut retained
his smooth. low voice" which Is a part Of
the police description, and is said TO have used
it out Of working hours.
GETS LARGE SUM
He received numerous letters and kilograms
from his attorney in New York, supposedly
"BlaCkIe Daw," reporting the progress of set
tliug the estate OF 100000. one telegram asked
for Sc GOO to settle with the other heirs and
another Tor 5000 10 pay the income tax.
Various people in confidential circles were
shown the private correspondence. In all
$50 0d1 was needed and the people Of Cotton,
it is said, paid it ALL Miller played but few
favortes. Later Miller went TO Riverside and
from there extracted more, il is claimed, by
letter. a feat that ]. Rufus never did.
1t is said that the majority OF those who
met Miller now prefer to keep 10 themselves
the transactions between them. one man,
who was touched harder than the rest, is on
and sheriff. forces are attempting to locate
Miller.

WASTE Of WATER
MUST Be STOPPED
If 1t Is Not, MASTERS Will Be
Prosecuted, Declares Su-
perintendent Holiday.

The water hog is going TO get what
is coming to him, according to Super
intendent of Waterworks Thomas Hob
day. unless the willful waste OF water
is stopped. Many complaints have come
to the attention Of the waterWorhs de-
partment to the effect that the ordi-
nance is being violated in various parts
Of the city by persons watering their
lawns without nozzle attached to the
hose, This is direct violation of the
ordinance and Mr.. Holiday says that he
is tired of warning citizens about this
matter, and no intends to commence
prosecuting violators Of the ordinance.
BY the wi]lful waste of water by
some persons, many other citizens arc
deprived Of necessary water for Gull
nary purposes several hours each day.
This must, and will. be stopped, de-
clares Mr. Holiday, at once. The de-
partment has worked day and night the
past few days attending to complaints
and has found that In each instance
the trouble has boen caused by water
users violating the ordinance and vast
ing water in an unlawful manner. Mr..
HOLIDAY says that he does not want TO
place any restriction upon the use of
water all over the city, but he will be
compelled to do so unless the v1olatorss
of tho ordinance are caught ana
stopped. -,
1t is probable that prosecutions Will
be commenced in the next few days,

INDEPENDENT HAS
HARMONIC" SYSTEM
4
Newest Wrinkle in Telephone
Party Lines Adopted in
Salt Lake City.

The new directory for the Utah In
dependent Telephone company is out.
It contains all Of the new numbers Of
tho party line subscribers Tho com
pany has installed the new "harmon-
ic" system, said to be the height Of
modern telephony.
The feature Of the harmonic sys
TEN, which makes 1t better than the
party line system commonly IN use, is
that IT gives complete metallic cir
cult, to and from the telephone office,
for each instrument. Hitherto the
Utah Independent company has fol
lowed the example of the majority of
other systems, and has, In the com
paratively few party lines It installed,
WAYS been found unsatisfactory owing
to conditions over which the telephone
company has no control. BY the har-
monic system this difficulty is entirely
eliminated.
In conjunction with the harmonic
system is operated what is known as
harmonic converter, which, in the
local company's plant, "tunes' the
current to what are known as "cycles'
or vibrations. Utilizing principle
somewhat similar to that of the pendu-
luul, lUe luSLE IObpipilihS thc
signal bell at each instrument of q
party line, are attuned-l' harmonized
so that tho bell will ring only when
one of these varieties" of current
but not the others, is switched into the
wires,
"Central'' has in front Of her four
buttons, red, blue, white and black
each corresponding TO particular va
riety of current. When she presses on
ono button, it will ring only the bel
on the circuit which IS attuned to the
particular variety of current she
switches on to the wires by pressing
the button. In this way, MS is shown
by experience with the most advanced
systems of tho large cities, perfect
selectivity" is obtained
The party lines are numbered from
10000 up. The fifth numoral takes the
place Of tho letter at the end of the
number, nsed in other systems, or the
Cred, - " black" etc, used in still
others. Thus the telephones on the
party line circuit numbered 10000, will
be numbered 10O01, 1o0o2, 10003 and
10000.

WHAT IS WHAT?
Question Arises Between Funge,
Late of Ogden, and Pin
gree, Now of That City.

W. W, Funge, Jr., Of San Francisco
has entered suit in the federal court
against James Pingree of Ogden and
the Utah Smelling company of Ogden,
The smelling company owns plant at
the Utah Hot Springs, about ten miles
north Of Ogden.
Fucge alleges that Pingree led him
into the project through false represen-
taticn- de AYERS thai Pingree sold him
fifty shares at tine value of $3.50 share,
claiming that the plant had been erected
at a cost Of $175,000, whereas Funge
claims that the work was done at a
cost Of less than $50, 900. Funge also
claims that another company was or
ganized-the Tintic Smelling company,
and alleges that the total amount paid
by that company out of an alleged capi~
talization of half million to the Utah
Smelling company was S35 1000, and the
Tintic company was supposed to have
paid something in the neighborbood of
half million.
Funge, in his complaint, asks that
Pingree and his company make a show.
ing Of the money paid in; and asks
that the money paid by him be re-
turned with the legal rate OF interest
Funge also asks that an injunction be
issued and a receiver appointed.
