ProCIamationS Asking OBJ
serVance of Anniversary.

Proclamations have been issued by
both Governor William Spry and Mayor
John S. Bransford calling upon the peo-
pie of Salt Lake and Utah to observe
Mothers day. May 8, by some good deed
in the name Of the mother who lives
or in remembrance Of the kindly life
that has gone. The proclamations are
as follows:
Words can pay but feeble tribute to
the memory of mother. Not till notes
from the heartstrings of every human
being mingle and swell into one mighty
anthem Of generation will mother re-
ceive the honor which is her just due.
Emulation Of her virtues most nearly
indexes the sacred love in which mother
is held.
ITO honor and uplift motherhood, a
day has been set apart as Mothers day.
I'm accordance with this object, l.,
William Spry, governor of the state Of
Utah, do earnestly recommend that
Sunday, May s, 1910, be observed in ap-
propriate manner as Mothers day.
"Strew your offerings of tender, low
ing remembrance and thoughtful, kind
ly deeds in rich profusion at the altar
of mother. Let the shrine OF your most
fervent worship be adorned this day
with the tributes of gratitude, love and
veneration. Publicly crown the silvered
locks with the wreath of honor which
goodness, purity, self-sacrifice and de-
votion has won. If mother is gone,
hallow her memory through some good
" deed her love inspires.
'sIn testimony whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused to be af-
fixed the great seal of the state of Utah.

As the case Is set for trial In the

INSURANCE COMPANIES
CALL POLICIES VOID

In answers filed in the district court
Yesterday. two fire insurance compan-
les claim that policies written in the
name of the Progress Spinning & Knit
ting Mills company Of Springvtlle, were
void because the property insured was
rnortgaged and because later altera-
lions were made which increased the
fire risks. The answers were filed by
the Dixie Fire Insurance company and
the Southern National Insurance COM
nany- against which the Progress COM
pany filed claims of 81 900 each on poll
cies. The Progress plant was burned
down on May Z. 1909, and suit was
brought for the amount OF the insur-
ence carried. but the claims are now
made by the insurance companies that
the clauses in the contract were vio-
lated and therefore the company is not
entitled to insurance money for the loss.

HEADS SUMMER SCHOOL
Principal j. ii. COombs VIII BE Of
fered Place by the \. NJ u
A. Authorities.

Principal J. H. Coombs Of the La
Hayette school is TO be the principal or
the Y. NJ. c. A. summer school, Il he Is
willing to accept the offer of the board
of that institution. Mr.. Coombs had
charge of last years school, and per-
formed admirable service The pupils
did effective work under his direction.
and achieved excellent results
Many inquiries have already come
into the Y NJ c. A regarding the
school, and in tentative way the plans
for the summer have been made 1t is
intended this year to limit the attend
ance to pupils who have reached the
fifth grade In the past pupils as low
as the third grade were taken. out
those belonging to the third and fourr
grades, it was found, did not receive
benefits at all corresponding TO the eX-
penditure Of money and energy made
IN their behalf. while those belonging
to the upper grades almost universally
profited greatly. AS a rule, those who
attend the summer school do so in or
der to make up for time lost by Illness
or to cover during the summer work
that would ordinarily require year 8
attendance in the city schools. The
latter class is known as grade jump
ers, and II Is estimated that three
fifths Of the entire attendance at the
summer school belong in this category
Those who have Jumped" grades In
this manner. the city principals say,
have been able to keep up with their
classes, so that the efficiency OF the
summer school is not open to question
In addition to the regular school
classes in all branches, the Y. NJ G. A.
summer pupils also have the advan-
tage of the gymnasium and swimming
classes. Besides the principal, there is
usually one teacher to each fifteen to
twenty pupils. The fee for the two
months term is S12, sufficient to meet
the expenses Of the school, but leaving
no margin In past years. the attend
ance has reached around $50 pupils of
all grades. It is believed the number
will be fully as great this year

ARREST RECALLS
FATAL POISONING
Harry MCc0rd Was a R0omer
at Home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Kaiser.

The arrest Of Harry McCord at Los
Angeles, Cal, yesterday on a charge Of
embezzIing certain funds from A B.
Elder, has refreshed the minds OF Salt
Lake authorities about the mysterious
poisoning OF Mr.. and Mrs Frank T.
Kaiser at 34S Elizabeth avenue. August
%, 1909
Elder, who is an attorney, now of
EscOndido, Cal, and McCord. whose
occupation is inclined toward mine oper-
ations, lived at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kaiser when they were poisoned
to death McCord disappeared irnme-
diately after the poisoning and had not
been heard from until the announce
ment Of his arrest at Escondido arrived
in Salt Lake yesterday.
In q cOrOner's inquest conducted IN
der the direction OF Justice of the Peace
Stanley A Hanks, it was specified that
Mr.. and Mrs. Kaiser came to their
death through chemically pure arsenic
administered into their food eaten Sun
day, August %. The verdict Of the
cOroner's jury was, however, that Il had
been unable to establish by whom or
for what reason the poison had been
administered Justice OF the Peace
Hanks stated last night that the latter
feature has remained a mystery.
Immediately after Mr.. and Mrs. Kai-
ser had partaken Of chicken dumpIings
they went into commissions. Symptoms
indicated that they were suffering from
powerful poison They were imme-
diately taken to L. D. s. hospital, but
were beyond medical aid. They died
only few hours after eating the
chicken.
The disappearance Of McCord after
the poisoning case naturally attracted
the attention Of the sheriffs, but they
failed TO find a reasonable motive.
