HIGH COSTS DISCUSSED
Traffic Bureau of Commercial Clul
to Consider Exorbitant Prices
of Commodities.

Matters connected with the high cost
of living in the state were discussed at
some length last night at the meeting of
the Commercial club traffic bureau.
There was a large attendance of business
men and it was decided to take some ac-
tion in the near future looking to better
coal rates. 1t was the concensus of Opin-
ion that the present high cost of living
here was due in large measure to the
excessive price which manufacturers,
especially, were compelled to pay for
coal. 1t was asserted that many manu-
facturers who desire to come here from
other cities were deferred from doing so
by the high price of fuel, and that manu-
faCturers now doing business here were
greatly hampered in selling their goods
on account of the high cost Of fuel. which
compelled their charging high prices for
their products.
Just what action will be taken cannot
be determined at this time. Secretary W.
5. Mccarthy of the traffic bureau said
last night that the details of the move
ment were not yet arranged and that some
time will be required to complete all mat
tiers connected with it. The fact that
business men of the city are seriously in
teTested makes it probable that the mat
ter will be carried TO the highest author
tiles. 1t was suggested that in the event
of the matter being adJudged lmr edlately
out of the jurisdiction OF the courts, the
movement HllSnI ledu 70 lilo CIedI lOh VI d
state commission here to deal with mat
tiers of state traffic.
A meeting of the subcommittee of the
commercial committee OF the general
committee named at a mass meeting sew
eraI weeks ago to devise means for com
batting the high costs of living was held
last night, but no action resulted, ad-
iournment being taken until 10 O'Clock
this morning. The commercial committee
will meet Friday night, and there will
be another mass meeting Saturday even
ing, to which the public is invited.

GRAND THEATRE.

1t seems like old times at the Grand
theatre, to see the crowds who come from
that playhouse nightly. After Willard
Macks departure from the playhouse,
theatTe-gOerS in general thought that the
Grand was doomed and nothing could be
brought to make it a success. On the first
day of January, Dick p. Sutton, who is
one of the shrewdest showmen in Amer
lea, got control Of the Grand by purChas-
ing all interests belonging to PeltOn <
Smutzer, and the Salt Lake Amusement
association. He organized a company, TO
put on his productions, and opened on
January 9, presenting the melodrama,
1.-THE Night Before Christmas" The
prices were reduced to 10, 20 and 80 cents.

have been desired; the second week "The

not receive the patronage that it should;

FLIGHT IN SNOWSTORM
Paulhan Goes Fifteen Miles Cross
Country for the Benefit of As
sembled Denver Crowds.

Denver Feb. Louis Paulhan made a
1ifteen-nile crOss-country flight at Over
land park today in a driving snowstorm.
Flowing through three inches of snow at
the start, Paulhan warmed up his engine
by preliminary flight of about eight
miles. 1t was bitterly cold, but after
donning heavier clothing, he again rose
in the air and, swinging wide over the
crowds Oh the hills above the track, dis
appeared in the snow flurries over the
western foothills. Starting straight for
the mountains, he swung back in a wide
circle over the factories Of South Denver
and, after few moments of fancy ma
neuvering above the course alighted
within a few feet of his starting point
The snow settled thickly on the planes
of the machine, but seemed to cause the
aviator no inconvenience. Several thou
sand spectators tore down the fences
about the track and built fires to keep
warm.
Paulhan was so stiff from cold after
the flight that he had to be helped from
the machine.

Nineteen Carloads for Elks' Outing
Already Filed and Pros
poets Are for More.

Secretary Raybould of the Elks' lodge
is vainIy endeavoring TO count up the
number of reservations for the coming
fifth annual excursion Of the club. Nine
teen cars have already been filled, and
the way in which other reservations are
coming in indicates that there will be
many other cars crowded before the eX-
cursion starts Saturday morning at II
O'clock The train which pulls out for
Sacramento Saturday will be solid patch

A prominent Elk yesterday said OF the
trip: We're going to have big time,
similar to all other affairs and outings
we have had, only bigger and better. The
committee on the job, Exalted Ruler Col
Inns, Secretary Raybould. A. ], Davis, G.
F Warren, F. T. Collins and f. r. En-
win, is a good one, and every member is

we are going to see on this trip, get a
guide book of the cities OF southern Cali
fornia and put down list including eV-
ervthing of importance, because that
what we'll see. The feature of this year S
trip is the new route, by way of the
Southern Pacific. instead of over the SAT-
Lake Route. This will make the trip this
wear different from every other. except
the good time which always goes hand-ln-
hand with outings by members OF the
antlered organizations.

COLONIAL THEATRE.

There is always a big show each sea-
son at the Colonial theatre for which
everybody waits, and that show this year
is the musical extravaganza. THE Land
of Nod" which is now filling a week 5
engagement at that theatre. The success
of this production is easy to understand
after you have seen a performance, as IT
contains all that is worth while in the
average musical comedy and enough more
to class it just three times as good as its
imitatOrs. THE Land of Nod" of 1910 is
by far the best offering al the Colonial
this season and eXcels any former presen-
tatiOn seen in Salt Lake City. The only
important changes I'm the cast are Neil
Mcneil and Anna McNab who are we'll
known here and are great Improvements
over their predecessors.

The lovers of grand opera selections are

seXtette which was recently recruited

impression in every city in which it has
appeared since coming to this country.

RELATIVES SUSPECT
VAUGHN WAS POISONED
Body of Missouri Professor Exhumed
Wife Evidently Under
Suspicion.

Monroe City, No, Feb. 1.-The corOner's
jury empanelled yesterday TO investigate
the sudden death of Professor ], I.
Vaughn at KirksviIle last October, ad-
jOurned tonight after deciding there was
not sufficient evidence that the deceased
came TO his death from poisoning to war
rant an autopsy.
This opinion was not a verdict, however,
the jury adJOurning at 10 o'clock tonight
until February 10, to await possible au-
topsy on the body, which was eXhumed
yesterday.
Coroner Wilson, Immediately after the
delivering of the opinion of the jury, or
dered an autopsy on the body for tOmOr-
row morning at o'clock and it is appar-
ent that legal conflict between the
families of Vaughn and Mrs. Vaughn is
imminent as the PrOctors relatives of
Mrs. Vaughn have evidenced their inten-
ton Of contesting the authority Of the
coroner TO order an autopsy.
Mrs. Vaughn testified today before the
jury concerning the death of her husband.
Mrs. Vaughn said her husband suffered
from neuralgia and indigestion and car
rled medicines TO relieve him. She said
she never administered them 70 him. On
the day of his death he was feeling badly
when he left home TO go to church. When
he returned he complained of being indis-
posed and asked where he could get Qui-
nine. She told him in the medicine chest.
He could find no capsules and impro-
vised one out of tissue paper. This he
bAdliUNeU dIIeT discussing the matter IN
humorous vein with his Wife.
Later Mrs. Vaughn said she heard him
groaning in an adjoining room to which
he had gone and she ran to him. Her
husband seemed in great pain. the wit
ness said, and she telephoued for a doc
tor.
While waiting for the physician she en-
deavored TO alleviate the pain. She rubbed
his hands and in her minstrations she
carried them to her lips. Her husband
turned his pain-TaCEed face toward her
and asked her to kiss his hands again,
she said. She kissed the hands several
times.
The doctor entered then and later neigh
bors came, At this time her husband was
near death and she was led from the
room. While a neighbours wife was en-
deavoring TO console her in an adjoining

BUNGALOW THEATRE.

Once in a great while a really good
play is written and perhaps seldom just
the right person is found to appear in it.
II is perhaps not too much to say that in
when KntghthOOd Was in Flower this
week at the Bungalow, these two rare in
stances have come to pass, as the play is
beautiful, and in the part of Mary Tudor.
Miss Leone has a part that is so we'll
suited to her that ii could be none the
better if the play had been written espe-
cially for her.
Miss Leone receives able support from
Alcine, Allen and Moore. The play runs
all week, with a matinee Saturday.
