Genealogical Society Observes
Eightieth Anniversary of the
Founding of the Church.

The anniversary Of the founding of
the Mormon church, Tuesday, April 8,
1880. was appropriately observed by the
Genealogical society of Utah last night,
with an entertainment and reunion of
the descendants Of the first six mem
bers of the church, in Social hall. The
evening was one of the most pleasant
spent during the April conference
bringing together as it did, a great
many of the pioneers of the church in
Utah and some who came here with the
very first settlers.
The SIX original members or the
Mormon church, at the time of its foun-
latiOn in New York, We're Joseph Smith,
Hyrum Smith, Samuel Fl. Smith, Oliver
Cowdery, David Whitmer and Peter
WhitmeF, Jr. OF these six, but two
have lineal descendants in the Mormon
church tOday-HyTum and Samuel H
Smith-and many of these descendants
were in attendance last night. OF Hy-
rum Smith there were Joseph F. Smith
and John Smith, and of Samuel H
Smith there was his son, Samuel, to-
gether with many grandchildren and
great grandchildren.
Joseph Smith had no descendants
while the same applied to oliver Cow
derry and Peter Whitmer, Jr., and David
Whitmer soon left the church because
Of dissatisfaction.
The exercises last evening consisted
views, showing the early members Of
the church, the scenes in New York
state, where the foundation of the
church was laid and many historic
scenes. Interspersed were appropriate
songs, While an interesting description
Of the views was given by B. S. Hinck-
ley.
The entertainment opened with the
singing Of Come, Come Ye Saints" by
the entire assemblage and the offering
of prayer by Bishop F. NJ. Lyman. The
address of welcome was given by
Bishop Anthem II. Lund of the first
presidency, who paid a marked tribute
to the six original members and gave 8
brief history of their early career.
Professor Anthem Lund presided al
the piano, and also sang a solo. "Tht
Seer" During the showing of the pic
lures President Joseph F. Smith, Patri-
arch John Smith and others described
many Of the scenes, to the great delight
of the large crowd present.
Interesting talks were given by Pres
ident Smith, Apostle Joseph F. Smith
Jr. and others and the evening was
most pleasantly spent. 1t was the
means Of bringing together many Of this
pioneers and was an event that vii
long be remembered. Refreshments
were served before the gathering dis
persed.

WANT TO RESTRICT
RAILROAD PASSES
ACCESSIBILITY of Making Travel
ing Ticket Agents Pay Is
Considered.

Annual passes over 200, 900 miles of rail-
road for 1910 and after may be denied to
5000 ticket agents. The question of with
holding the II months frank from ticket
sellers was considered at a meeting of an
executive committee of western passen-
ger agents in Chicago, and it was agreed
that for the present the list should be
cut TO the bone and entirely abolished as
soon as possible, this being left to the Of
ficers Of the individual roads.
Since the abolition of commissions for
the. sale of railroad tickets to agents there
have been many and varied efforts to
cater to these men in various ways.
Agents who sell coupon tickets control
considerable of the railroad travel in the
country and those in charge of the big
systems are continually soliciting their in
fluence. When cash was paid for the sale
Of tickets over foreign lines in the way
of commissions, the method of getting
their travel by this route was compare
lively easy, but since the material con-
sideratiOn was abandoned the influence
of agents has been sought in other ways.
Trip passes over any line in the country
may always be secured by ticket agents
and for members of their families. These
men also are literally favored by the Pull
man company, who give every concession
possible.
General passenger agents of many of
the railroads, in their efforts 70 catch the
ticket seller, during the last one or two
years have been sending these represent
tatives annual passes for themselves and
families. To many of the influential
agents Pullman, baggage and carriage
passes in the different terminals, have
been enclosed with the railroad pass. Not
ONLY have the regular ticket agents been
given these passes. but assistant ticket
agents. who. in many cases, are telegraph
GENERATORS, have been included in the
frank" list.
These operators change and often are
temporarily out of employment, and II is
charged that many of the annual passes
given to them have been used Illegally.
THE railroad officers say it is the abuse OF
the privilege rather than the way the Gus
tom is spread that has caused the aglta-
lion for an abolition of the annual passes

COMPANIES
COMPETE FOR CONTRACT
Struggle On for Business Over Salt
Lake Route and Western
Pacific.

Both the Adams and American Express
companies are after the contract with the
Salt Lake Route.
At the present time the Wells-Fargo
Express company has a year and ten
months of its contract still TO run with
the Salt Lake road. and at the end of
that time the matter viii come up Tor
a reheaTing, and the company making
the highest bid probably will receive the
franchise. The company which receives
the contract with the Western Pacific in
San Francisco will be in position to
bid highest for the Salt Lakes business,
as this will give a distributing point for
express in Utah.
The Western Pacific bid probably will
be made in a few weeks. and the north
ern question will be settled definitely be-
fore the southern line is open for bids
Officials of the Wells-Fargo company
are reticent in regard to the attempt OF
the Adams Express to invade the terri
tory, but admit that the American EX-
press company is laying its lines Tor
the campaign.
The western business OF the express
companies is steadily on the increase and
when the Salt Lakes line is in the open
market for bids the price which the
Clark road will be able TO obtain viii
be heavy.
The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
are tied to the Wells-Fargo with long
term contracts, and there is no imnedi-
ate chance for another express company
to tap these lines.

J. J. Hessler, 951 East Eleventh
South street, received the first letter
in % years from him yesterday. He is
i'll and wants TO hear from the family
he became separated from when he en-
igrated from Denmark. It was through
the efforts Of Chief Of Police s. NJ. Bar
low that Mrs. Hessler was located for
her father.
Two weeks ago Mr. Mortensen, in
Minneapolis, Mimi, wrote to the chief
that he was on his death bed and that
his last desire was to hear from his
daughters, who had come to America
with their mother % years go, settling
in Utah. He furnished the name of

Ofhcial registration Of al graduate
nurses was advocated at a meeting Of

citation in the clubrOom Of the Y. NJ

tary, was named secretary and chair

ters to the heads of schools Throughout

AGED BLIND VETERAN
FALLS TO HIS DEATH
William Milne Breaks Neck
by dumbIe from Hospital
Tower Window.

William Milne, an aged blind in
mate OF the National Soldiers Home,
fell from the window of the blind
ward at the Home at an early hour
yesterday morning and was Instantly
killed. The veterans neck was
broken, as were also his right arm
and leg.
Milne had the habit of getting near
the window to smoke and 1t is sup
posed that he probably got too close
to the open window and in this way
fell through TO the ground below
The body of the old man was found
by the guard and as there were no
witnesses to the accident it is not
positively known just how Milne
came to fall.
Milne had been an inmate of the
Home for number of years and for
the past several years had been TO-
tally blind.
