Travellers Will MEET
IN LOGAN THIS YEAR
Commercial Men Are Promised Royal
Welcome by Representa-
tive of That City.

Logan will probably capture the 1910
convention of United Commercial Trav-
elers, which will be held in June. At a
meeting Of the Salt Lake lodge last
night, Joseph H. Marshall of Logan
called the attention of the travellers to
the fact that the capital of Cache coun-
ty was bidding for the convention, and
he was given to understand that Logan
would probably be the meeting place.
The selection Of a convention city has
been left to a committee which will an
nounce its decision within week, in
order that the U. c. 7. may advertise
the convention, and that the city where
it is to be held may have time to make
adequate preparations. Mr.. Marshall,
while not acting in an official capacity
for Logan, assured the travellers that
his city would go % great expense to
entertain the delegates to the annual
convention. That Logan is amply large
enough TO handle the crowd, he was
certain. and everything that could be
done for the comfort and convenience
Of the visitors would be done.
The convention committee will get
busy at once, and it Is likely that Logan
viii send a delegation from the Boost
ers' club to confer with the travelling
men who have the last word in the Sc
lection Of an annual meeting place.
It is expected that this year WILL
gather the greatest crowd that ever at
tended a convention of the United Com
mercial Travellers. The convention will
be held early in June, the dates and
place to be announced In few days.

FATHER SEEKSBOY
WHO WENT BROKE
Young Man Writes That He
Spent His Money and Was
Then Kicked Out.

John H. Tomilson Of Denver, who Is
looking for his son, Frank s. Tomilson,
aged IS years, called at police head
quarters yesterday afternoon and asked
if a young man of his name and de-
scription had of recent date attracted
the attention OF the police. Tomilson
says that his son left home four months
ago, and equipped with $500 had gone
to GlenwSod Springs, Colo, with the
intention of filing on government land.
Under date of March "a Frank S.
Tomils0n wrote his father a letter IN
which it seems that ranchmen in the
neigh borhoOd of G1enWOod Springs had
discourage his am billions OF becoming
ranch and stOckman. He became de-
spondent and says that a number of
hangers-on at the Silver Cub saloon in
GIenwOod Springs befriended him, final
ly robbing him Of 500 while he was
under the influence of liquor. In part
the letter reads as follows
When / went away from home was

Glenwood Springs, who Informed me
where it would be possible to file on
land and make money.
But began to inquire into how the
ranchmen were really getting along,
and found that most of them were up
to their necks in debts, fighting mort
cages that they had no chance of over
coming. 1 was soon convinced that the
ranches In that part of the country
were no place for a fellow TO make a
fortune, and 1 tried to inquire into the
opportunities Of getting into business
at the Springs.
"As long as 1 would buy drinks for

A fellow who seemed to give me most

"One night 1 had been buying lots of
drinks and I took a little too much, I
suppose, and got sleepy. 1 fell asleep in
a chair near a card table and didn't
wake up until a bartender told me to
get out. All of my associates had left
me. 1 tried to make hOiler that I had

ROBERT S. L0vETT,
Hartman System Head, Who nspects the Lucin Cutoff

the present terminal of the MOffatt line,
INTO Salt Lake from Denver, by way Of
Provo and other Utah points, parallel
ing the proposed line of the Moffat road
for the entire distance.
Joint Rates Granted.
II can be stated with assurance that the
Hartman officials have neither of these
projects under consideration at this time
That the Hartman interests are support
ing the Goulds in an endeavor to block
the MOffat road is vigorously denied, as
are many other statements which have
gained circulation as a result of Presi-
dent LOVett's western tour.
One result of President LOvett's trip TO
Los Angeles was TO insure the granting
of joint rates by the Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fe routes to the Western
Pacific. This action means that the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe have
agreed to a division with the new Gould
road on all overland shipments 1t can
command in the country north of Bakers
field. This means that shipments to or
from California points on either of the
two lines may be routed via the Western
Pacific system
Before leaving ogden for the east Presi-
dent Lovett expressed himself as regret
this time. The presence Of the local Of
ficials of the company, however, at
Sparks, and the return as far as ogden,
eliminated any necessity of the run to
this city, so that the decision to con-
tinue eastward without delay was reached.
1t may be that upon his arrival in the
east President DOvett may make public
certain matters which are just now en-
crossing public interest, but if so he
gave no intimation of any such intention
while in the company Of the Salt Lake
officials of the Hartman lines.

Despite the fact it was ArbOr day, the

Two hundred ana forty enumerators

HOLDS ELKLODGE
MUST PAY TAXES
Judge Richie Hands Down De-
ciSion That Will Have a
Far-FeaChing Effect.
AFFECTS OTHER ORDERS
PRECEDENT WILL TAP TREAS
URIES OF FRATERNITIES

Ruling that the Elks' club-otherwise
known as the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks-is not charitable inSti-
tuition, and must therefore pay taxes
in Salt Lake county, Judge NJ. L.
Richie of the district court yesterday
made far-reaching decision, which will
affect practically every club in Salt
Lake and in the state at large owning
It's own property. 1t is cersain that
the action win be carried to the su-
preme court owing TO the issues in
volved.
The action was brought by Salt Lake
lodge No. IS, B. P. o. E.. against John
a. Groesbeck, treasurer of Salt Lake
county, for the recovery of $621.S9 paid
on November IL, 1909. The money was
paid under protest to the county. treas
urer, and was the first time that taxes
had been paid by the Elks' club. 1t
was claimed at the time of paying the
taxes that the club is a charitable in
stitution and therefore exempt from
taxation, and the tax was paid under
protest, with the view to taking the
matter into the courts. Judge Ritchie's
ruling is that the club is not merely a
charitable one, and that it Is subject to
taxation.
Under this ruling other clubs in Salt
they have not been placed on the as
sessment rolls in the past. The Alta
and University clubs have paid the tax
for years, but many other clubs-espe-
ciaIly those of a fraternal character
have claimed exemption. Those will all
be taxed from now on, unless the SUI
preme court of the state rules that they
are exempt.
Affects Other Clubs.
The ruling affects the clubs which
own their own property, and a number
Of other clubs will come under this
head. The contention of the county was
that the Elks' club conducted bar and
restaurant, and that 1t was not used
exclusively for charitable purposes. The
club is much the same as the Alta and
University clubs, which have paid the
taxes for years.
County Attorney Job P. Lyon said
last night that the ruling of Judge
Richie would probably affect several
other clubs in Salt Lake, though he had
not investigated this matter to see how
many came within the ruling. 1t will
not affect the Masonic lodge however,
as this is used exclusively for lodge
members, and there are not the COM
mercial features of the other clubs. It
is stated that the Odd Fellows will
probably have to pay for that part of
their building on Postoffice place which
is rented to other parties, under the
ruling of Judge Ritchie. The Eagles
club does not own its quarters at Sec
ond South and West Temple streets, but
it is probable that they will be placed
upon the assessment books of the coun-
ty in the future for the personal prop
erty owned.

CoNFIScAfES BAD MEAT.
Complaint Sworn Out Against Pro-
prietor of Restaurant.

A complaint was sworn out yesterday
in the city attorneys office at police
headquarters against the Independent res
taurant ISL West Second South street, for
bringing uninspeeted meat into Salt Lake.
The meat was the carcass of a yearling
sheep, which was brought to Salt Lake
from Garfield, and which was found by
J. w. fireman, city veterinarian, who
swore out the complaint. 1t is claimed
that many carcasses have been brought
into Salt Lake without being inspected
and have been sold in the cheap restau-
rants on the west side, much of the meat
known to be diseased It is claimed that
the meat is slaughtered at plants near
Garfield and smuggled into Salt Lake.
All of the vital organs of the yearling
had been taken out and the city veteri-
marian could not determine whether the
sheep was diseased, but the carcass was
cOnfiscated. A test will be made of this
case and closer inspection viii be made
