AUTO STOLEN FROM IN

Stoddsrd-Dayton, 40-Horsepower Car
Taken by Bold Thieves in
Daylight.

A STANDARDIZATION forty-horse-
power automobile. owned by John
Brooks. manager Of the Troy laundry,
was stolen from the front Of the Sem
loh hotel yesterday afternoon. while
Mr.. Brooks was entertaining friends
to a luncheon in the Louvre. Efforts
70 locate the automobile had failed up
TO a late hour last night
According to stories told by eye
witnesses. two well-drcssed men over
80 years Of age watched Mr.. Brooks
and party leave the automobile and
go down into the Louvre. One Of
them recraniSed the automobile, and
when the engine began to work both
leaped into the machine and dashed
up State street.
An hour later. when Mr.. Brooks
was about 90 take his party about
town. he discovered that the automo-
bile had been stolen. He asked the
police to assist him in locating Il.
Motorcycle Patrolman Dan Grundvie
obtained information that two men in
an automobile answering the descrip-
ton were headed for Provo.
Lieutenant r. I. shannon de-
scribed the stolen machine TO the
chief OF police OF Provo. An hour
afterward the latter reported that
such an automobile had passed
through the city at high speed ana
was headed south.

that there was a streak Of yellow In
the African.
Romance was not what fight fans
wanted, and any intelligent paper
would have given them anything but
that. Knowing that the people want
ed to learn the true status of affairs
at Reno. The Herald Republican,
with the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, engaged the services OF Mike
Murphy, a real expert who went to
Reno and reported what he saw. and
what his knowledge of human fight
ing machines taught him to believe
was true. Mike Murphy is paid
$4,000 a year by the University of
pennsylvania. to inculcate some Of his
own knowledge into athletics. and he
formerly made wonderful record as
head coach at Yale.
He knew what he was talking about
when he said, through The Herald
Republican, that Jeffries wasn't in
condition to fight. and he had the
courage to express his convictions. al
though he was in the hotbed of JEFF
friesism.
The result was that those who read
The neutrality-suspicious. and followed
Mike Murphy were not surprised
when Jeffries wilted in the fifteenth
round, while those who read romance
and poetic prose I'm the Telegram
were immensely shocked and cha
grined to find that flaring predictions
or Jeffries' victory were not founded
IN fact, nor based on intelligence.

CHILDREN ENJOY DAY
APPROPRIATION OF MONEY
SPENT TO GOOD ADVANTAGE.

Every man, woman and child in salt
Lake contributed In some greater or
less degree yesterday to the patriotic
celebration Of the nations birthday. 1t
was indeed a glorious Fourth of July.
and when the last evidence Of the cele-
DEaIon reluctantly died out after mid
nABnl, al who participated must have
teit that the Fourth is pretty good after
all.

SO far as the police surgeons record
shows, there was not an accident re-

directly attributable to the premature
celebration last Saturday.
notwithstanding the latitude permit

without anything Of a peace-disturbing

that II was signally a day fraught with
the fighting spirit, these were not

The fire department had a half dozen
runs, but there were no fires OF a Sc

passed without the usual long list OF
casualties may be attributable to an
element Of good fortune. for those who
GAINED TO their hearts content with
firearms and high explosives. There
was no lack Of noise. and those whose
nerves are sensitive will doubtless be
found advocating the total prohibition
or the sale Of these sO-called instrtl-
