City Auditor Heating does not see Aow he can be able to recommend less than a 15.s mill tax. the same as levied last year. He Is now working on his annual report and recommendations to the Board of Apportionment. Although Inc IS not ready to make any conjec- lures as to the figure he will recom- mend he told a Farmer reporter this morning that the rate would certain ly not be less than last year because Of the state tax for two years that has got to be paid this year. This tax amounts to $84,000 and is a big item. No one really knows what the grand auditor announced several days ago that if all the requests of the city departments were granted a 21.5 mill tax on a grand list of $84000. 900 would be necessary. If the auditor is going to bring the figures of the recommend Rtiou down to the figures of last year on the basis of a $S4. 0O0, ,000 grand list he has got to prune off $478,800 from t1ze acquisitions.
 If m increase of about millions ia the grand list can be made and the revenue of the city Increased $75.667 without increasing the tax rate it is quite evident to many that a gener- al plan of tax equalization throughout the city would call halt in the rais- ing of the tax rate for many years.
 But SO far there is no one who, to Dc when the board of assessors finish their abstract. Furthermore, fhere Is much conjecture as to what the Board of Relief will do when it gets down to work and how the grand list will look when it gets through

MOTHER AT BEDSIDE
 OF DYING BOY READY

Police Baffled Over Mysterious Shoot

Police Baffled Over Mysterious Shoot
 ing-Two Theories.
 Especial from United Press.)
 New York, Jan. 1.-The police nave made two arrests on suspicion of men believed to know something about the wanton staying of Robert Lomas, 6, and the probably fatal wounding of his boy friend, Arthur Shibley, but they seem as far from a solution of the mystery as when they first started. While the detectives from the Central Office are working on the theory that the killing was a mistake and grew out of a Syrian plot, Captain Kreuscher and the men of the 152nd street station who are working on the case, declare there is no reason to credit this theory and are looking for a madman.
 At the Washington Heights Hos pital it is stated that little Arthur Shibley is still alive but that there is practically no hope. The doctors plan blood transfusion and his mother waits near the bedside to offer her blood if it is finally decided that this will increase the child's chances of recovery.
 Beyond the fact that the suspects slightly answer the description of the slayer and say they have no home, the police have no evidence against them.

 London, Jan. 14.-Nominations in "A parliamentary districts are taking place today, preparatory to elections in these districts tomorrow. Of the nominations made today, Joseph Chamberlain of Birmingham and three other Conservatives were unopposed as their districts are hopelessly anti Liberal. Today's nominations were purely formal, as the candidates had already been agreed upon.
 Of the total "A seats that will be decided in tomorrow's balloting the Liberals hitherto held AS, the Conser- vatives F, and the Laborites g. As the Liberals and Laborites are allied this year, the Conservatives will have to make a gain of 12 in order to win the initial battle. It will be neces- sary, also, for the Conservatives to maintain about this rate of gain throughout the campaign, if they are to win the next House of Commons. The most sanguine Conservatives pre- dict that they will win 50 of tomor- rows contests though there are few others that share this belief. It is down the Liberal majority but not. oyr ercome it. The Liberals insist that they | syu hold asata their own ana possibly gain
 As the result of the first days ball. loting is sure to have an influence on the subsequent voting, both sides are preparing to put forth every ounce of their strength tomorrow.
 Of the elections tomorrow, not count ing the four who will be returned without opposition, twelve will be in London and 58 in the provinces. The four unopposed candidates are Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Hugh Ceil and Sir William R. Anson, for Oxford Uni- versity, and John Walter Mills for Durham. The Liberals are charging that the appeal from Joseph Chamber lain, published in today's Conservative press. in which he says that England will be a fifth rate power unless she develops protective tariff, is not the work of Chamberlain at all, but of Conservative party leaders who as- cribed it to Chamberlain for the sen- timental effect it would have The Liberals say it's Chamberlain party and that he could neither have writ ten or made such statement.

Those who have seen the me- chanical devices which reproduce the picture of train in a sixty mile an hour flight through the countryside with the rear end of the observation car filled with cheering tourists, have marveled at the ingenuity that devis- ed such wonderful effect s'The act will no doubt make the hit of the sea- son In this city on account of the popularity which has been accorded it cities.
 The Holdsworths will be on deck next week With new and novel lime of batter songs and talk which is fast
 ecoming popular in the local vaude- < file world. They are also there with
 he banjo playing and dancing and nave made big hits throughout the country.
 Something new in the musical line will be presented by Lyons and Yosco. Harp and cello duets, mandolin and character singing make it a corking good act and no one should miss the opportunity to hear it.
 Jones and Deeley will present a black face singing and talking comedy act entitled Hotel St. Reckless" Sei- ma Bratz, Europe's most clever Iady juggler will be one of the leading at fractions and should make a great hit. Beatrice Ingram & Co., present. ing 4eThe Duchess are slated for a big hit as is Pope and Uno, trainer and dog.
 Three more performances for the show this week and if you have not already attended, why don't forget to step around to the box office this af- ternoon and hand over the same price as usual. You won't regret it if you only see half the bill for Polls is a house of double value.

 BITTERLY DISAPPOINTEI
Especial from United Press. )

 Paris, Jan. H-Pierre Loti, the not ed French author, whose name in real life is Captain Viaud, and who as an officer in the French .navy has been fully as conspicuous for his sea- manship as he has been in the world of letters, was retired from the ser vice today, a bitterly disappointed man. The captain has believed for some time that he would be advanced to flag rank before retirement but this was not done.
 His friends today declare that the jealousy of a clique of staff officers has robbed the author of advancement to which he was entitled. The trouble, according to them, while the squad rons to which he has been attached had been cruising in foreign waters, all visitors inquired first for Pierre Lotti'' When shore fetes have been held, he has been the center of in terest with the result that the staff officers have resented this and have blocked his promotion.

SULLIVAN WINS #
He LASTS LIMIT
Cyclone Thompson Agrees to
That Arrangement if
Painter Referees.
BY JOHNNY THnMpsoN-

Utah Hot Springs. May TN reply
to my request for Pete Sullivan's rea-
sons for Directing to the selection of
Tom Painter of Evanston, Wye, as
referee for our boxing contest at Salt
air next Thursday, Sullivan admits that
he regards Painter as eminently fair
and honorable, but says that he feels
that he should have been given a de-
cision when he met 'Birdleg'' Collins
at Ogden.
For that matter, think that should
have had a decision over Sullivan when
Painter officiated at Pocatello in Janu-
airy, 1909, but the decision went the
other way. At the same time, Painter
is the only man in this section whom
know sufficiently well to regard as
competent and honorable, and I am
not only willing to accept his judg
ment, but I will go even further with
Pete Sullivan and agree that If he
Will accept Tom Painter-whose repu-
tation and popularity with fans of
this section are as well known TO Sui
livan as they are to meas referee for
the approaching contest at Saltair
will agree to let Painter give Sullivan
the decision at the end Of the bout If
IT goes twenty rounds.
In other words, If do not stop Sui
livan before the final gong at the end
of twenty rounds, he can take a de-
oision and l will make no complaint,
regardless of which Of US has made
the best showing.
If the fear that q decision might be
adverse to him is all that is standing
in the way of Suilivan's acceptance of
Painter as referee. this should clear
the way Of that obstacle and permit
him to accept of a man well qualified
to perform the duties as third man
in the ring.
If Sullivan fails to accept Painter
on these liberal terms, then he must
have some other object in refusing and,
in justice to the sporting fraternity
Of Utah, he should make known his
reasons.

HARD WORK FOR
UTAH TRACK MEN

4 The University Of Utah track men,
under the direction of Coach Joe Mad

the local preparatory school. some of
the bumps of conceit were totally
knocked off of the mems craniums,
with the result that since that meet
they have been putting in an extra
shift each night IN order TO get down
TO some kind Of decent form.
Efforts have been along the lines OF
the distance men, with the hope that
they would be able to get into good
running form. Cutting, the crack
quarter-miier, has shown up to excel

Reports from Provo during the past
week shows that Coach Fred Bennion
has no slorch of a team this year.
Chamberlain is beating his last years
record N the half-miie every time he
makes the attempt, and he is also run

is also reported from Provo that they
have a man who will make the hair
stand up on Captain Sam Brinton's
head when they meet in the sprints.

and to date no other school IN the state
has produced a man who could come
within striking distance OF Brinton in
any Of the short distance events.
