RUMORS OF
UNSAN|TARY RATS

The spreading Of the story In Ogden
that girls in tho stores were becom-
ing afflicted with leprosy resulting
from tho continual handling OF rats
and other articles used by women In
hair-dressing. has caused the issuance
OF the following statement from Salt
Lako City. which will apply in the
local case. The story first gained cir
culation after being sprung az q
Joke on the Orpheum circuit In Chi
cago
The statement from Salt Lake is as
follows.
A girl attending the Lafayette school
is alleged 70 be responsible for the ru-
Elor that large consignment Of im~
ported hair goods was destroyed by a
Salt Lake City department store be
cause the manager of the establish
ment feared that the goods might
contain the germs OF leprosy.
Such rumorS are declared TO be ABB
solutely without foundation. None OF
the depsrement stores In tho city has
destroyed any hair goods. neither Is
there any fear among the merchants
that the rats and turbsns sold in
the department stores In tho city nae

/. 3. Needham, one of tho depart
men managers OF the u. C. NJ. L, said
this morning that the idea OF hair
goods causing leprosy was the most
foolish thing he had over heard OF. He
said:
The fact that all hair goods are
boiled and put through chemical
process before they are shipped does
away with any Idea that the goods
might be responsible for leQrosy ir

and turbans sometimes contain duSi

SPEAKERS AUTO
A PUBLIC CHARGE

Washington. April S.-Careful analy-
sis OF the conference report on the
legislative appropriation bill showed
that Speaker Cannon's automobile will
be cared for at government expense
after all.
From the report presented at the
two branches OF congress. IL appear
ed that the amendment providing for
the maintenance Of the VIcc-presi
dents car had been retained and the
amendment relating to the speakers
car had been rejected,
Technically that is what happened.
but rs a matter of fact the 81, 800 ap-
proprlntIon for the speakers car was
transferred to another paragraph COW
ering expenses OF select committees
and similar Items and was lncorpor-
ated into lump appropriation of $751;
900. So 1t appears that there is TO he
no discrimination between the speak
er and the vice.president after all.

ANDREWS And HIS $500 fEE.

The public awaits with justifiable
concern the action Of the Republican

the man who has been employed to

ton OF Andrews to be as represented
in the following editorial utterance

The various charges being aired
before the executive committee of
the party are, in the opinion oil
the Advertiser, trumpet up accu-
sations, made without tenable
grounds, and known to be false by
the ones making them.
Now calmly consider the plain
facts.

son asked Lorrin Andrews whether
he had ever received any money from

II must also be remembered that the
Republican party cannot expect to
win the confidence of the people, If IL
shows by its acts that It supports the
record OF Lorrin Andrews as party
manager or organizer, or whatever his
title may be.
The situation now is up to the COM
mittee. The voters know what they
will do.
Finally II any member of the COM
mittee has information that would re-

proper to have 1t brought forward at
