DR.. I. G. Odell this afternoon sub
mltted to the county attorney his re-
port on the death Of Mae O.. Taylor. the
woman of tho half world who died
at ST. Marks hospital on Oct. 20. In
his report he stated that he was of the
firm belief that the circumstances war
ranted the holding of an inquest over
the remains.
DR.. Odel says that the quickness with
which the enibalming fluid was used
after the woman was brought to the
O,Donnell undertaking parlors ue-
stroyed the most important evidence IN
The case, but he Is OF the opinion that

responsibility for her death.
At the Luxor hotel, conducted by
Mrs. Giles. says Dr. Odell. are sus-

Curious existence. She came to SAT-
Lake from Los Angeles and was SAID
to have been the mistress OF Ben
Smith, brother OF "Rube" Smith the
pugulist. She first lived at a hotei
on west Second South street. and inter
moved to the Bungalow hotel. II was

Coroner Stanley Hanks was busy to-
day getting statements from the DIFF

that the responsibility for her death

Robinson he advised tho woman when

Hanks today that II he had perform

ANOTHER FIFTY
CENTS /: I'li!s| ! FOR. 0 COAL
Up Goes the Price on All Fuel
First Thing Tomorrow
Morning.
ALL KINDS or LUMP AND NUT
Utah und Wyoming Mines Claim Bet
ter Market Prices In Nevada
For Their Output.

The expected has happened. in the
matter of the anticipated advance of
the price of lump and nut coal, and on
the morrow the figure for lump and nut
VIII be so cents per ton higher than
the figure that has obtained in this city
Z Tor the past season. The reason Is that
tho mine operators find they can easily
obtain much higher prices in Nevada
and California, proportionately than
they can In Utah, and they do not see
why Salt Lake and Utah should be
given the benefit of lower prices when
they could cut out Salt Lake entirely.
m dsend all tho coal consigned to this
city west at higher prices than what
have been obtaining here.
So the local dealers were notified this
afternoon of the advance. to take effect
at once. and the dealers In turn
are obliged to raise their fig
ures accordingly. Coal has been
selling at $3.50 at the Colorado
mines. and So at the mines in Wyo-
pressed that this city has escaped a
raise for SO long. This will make lump
and nut S625 delivered. or 61h sacked.
The G.. S. Martin Coal company said
this noon. they had not at that hour
been officially notified but were
morally. certain the advance would be
made. The Central Coal office had
not been notified. this afternoon, but
the Federal and Western and the
Hamburger Offices said tho die was
cast. and the advance was decided
upon. Tho Bambergers said the Utah
Fuel lind notified them that prices
would DO advanced at its mines. in
conformity with the advance else
where. Salt Lake consumers can
understand why Wyoming Goals should
advance, but the advance In Utah
coal is regarded rs an outrage. Tho
Federal Coal company people don't
know but that there will be a further
raise In prices.
