SALT PALACE
THEATRE IS
DESTROYED

4 3 o'clock this morning a part of
~ the salt Palace saucer track,
some of the adjacent buildings
and all of the salt Palace theatre had
been destroyed by flames which started
half an hour earlier in the s'rhird De-
gree" concession just outside the
bicycle track.
Defective wiring was the cause.
The loss Will not exceed $4,000.
The property is owned by the Heath
brothers, and was not insured.
The fire was discovered at = $50 O'Clock
by Waterman IL. c. COndie, who turned
in an alarm 10 the fire department.
shortly before, however, the fire WAS
reported by a policeman in person, but
he was not taken seriously.
The fire first ate its way through
the fence and into the saucer track.
About fifty feet of the bleachers at the
east end of the track was destroyed
before the firemen checked the spread
or the flames and the track itself was
not materially dana ged.
A strong wind from the west carried
the burning embers from the Third
Degree" TO the roof of the Salt Palace
theatre. simultaneously, say several
witnesses, flames burst from the in
terror OF the theatre, and that build
ing was nearly Quilted before the water
played upon it had much effect.
The Heaths, who live back of the
theatre were forced from home early
and the roof Of the building was a mass
OF flames while they were transferring
belongings to places of safety.
The fire department soon had all
other building on the Salt Palace
ground under control, but the theatre
itself, built of flimsy material, was
doomed, and the flames ate their way
into the walls and up through the dome,
which soon fell into the interior, prac-
tically cutting the entire structure.
The Salt Palace, built to represent a
structure of salt, was one of the scenic
features Of Salt Lake, and had been
used for public meetings and theatrieals
for years.

NJ EW YORK, Aug. 28.-President
IN Taft campaign letter to w. B.
Mckinley, chairman Of the Repubh-
can congressional committee, was
made public tonight by the New York
headquarters of the committee.
The President says that differences
between Republicans should be forgot
ten in the congressional election and
that all Republicans who believe in
the party principles, as declared in its
national platform of 1908, should give
the candidates loyal and effective sup
port. If this is done there will be no
doubt of a return of Republican ma
jority."
AS 10 the tariff, the President SAYS:
1t seems TO me that all Republicans
conservative progressive and radical
may well abide the situation with re-
speet to the tariff until evidence now
being accumulated shall justify changes
In the rates"

While universally there has been a
healthy Increase in a large majority

tanned In no instance so far has an
actual loss OF population been shown,
and present comparisons are only on

OF more than $4,000 has been officially
announced. These are somewhat more
than one-fOurth of the estimated total
number OF such cities in the country.
-Four announcements cover cities OF
more than 10000 people. They are

The mayor left the hospital at $3.50
a. m. He had been there since Tues
day. August 8. the day on which he
was shot by James J. Gallagher, dis
charged city employee, on the deck Of
the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse
Drawn up in the court yard of the
hospital to give him a final salute were
fifty orphan children. cared for by the
institution. Mayor Gaynor insisted on
stopping 10 speak to each one and sew
eral he patted on the head.
Walks Unaided.
He walked unaided from mis- room on
the fourth floor 10 the elevator and
from the ground floor to the automO-
bile, in which he was driven to New
York police patrol boat, waiting for
him at a pier in HobOken.S In entering
the automobile. however. he over
estimated his strength and had dlrfl-
Guilty in climbing on the running board.
His step was feeble, and his knees bent
under him at every step.
At the dock where the police boat was
waiting he walked across the gang
plank and aboard the vessel without
up TO receive him. After the boat got
under way he called for Captain Nett,
in command, to come TO the cabin
where he sat with Mrs. GaynOr. He
cOmplimented Captain Nett on the fine
appearance of the boat and crew and
ordered that the mayors flag be run
up.
Sinks 10 His Knees.
AT Long Island City he walked down
the deck and across the gangplank I'M
assisted, but took a firm hold on the
rail. There was a wheel chair on the
deck 10 receive him, but he asked Dr..
George ID. Stewart, who was waiting,
If he might walk and ne and the doctor
walked to an electric cab. Here the
mayor again miscalculated his strength
in trying TO get into the cab and sank
TO his knees.
Because of the bandages about his
neck, covering part of his face, Few
people recognized the mayor IN the
Long Island City station. There he
was transferred to the private car of
President Ralph Peters of the Long
Island railroad and this was attached
to a special train. He kept silent
throughout the journey TO st. James,
which was without particular incident.
4 crowd of neighbOrs was on hand
to greet the mayor, but they respected
his wishes for quiet, and there was no
demonstration. But he smiled and
greeted those nearest him and then was
Whirled rapidly to Deep Wells, arrtV-
ing shortly after noon.
Has Lack of Strength.
Notwithstanding his two previous
shows of feebleness, the mayor In his
ioy at reaching home, demanded that
he be allowed TO go up the steps alone.
He got only part way, and then. with
a pitiable show of weakness, fell upon
his hands and knees. He was not in
jured, nor would he admit that he had
fallen because Of lack of strength. He
insisted that he was strong.
Safe at home, the mayor asked to be
allowed to sit on his piazza and DIR.
Parish consented. So he sat in the open
air throughout the afternoon.

Seoul. Korea, Aug. 2S.-Upon the re-
linquishment OF his power and the
turning over today Of his country and
people to the sovereignty of Japan,
Emperor VI Syek issued the following
farewell rescript; Notwithstanding
our unWOFthiness. we have succeeded
in the arduOus task handed down by
our ancestors. We have endeaVOred,
up TO the present, to follow modern
administrative principles, but long ex-
listing evils and deep rooted weakness
make ii impossible for us TO effect re-
forms in reasonable time. Daily and
nightly we were concerned, but were
unable to rectify these conditions.
Therefore we feel constrained, be
Heving it wise. TO entrust the great
task TO other hands. In order that
efficient measures may be taken and
a satisfactory result obtained, after
serious consideration we have submit
ted all our sovereignty rights to Jap
ans emperor, having implicit faith in
him, and thus insuring far eastern
peace and our peoples welfare.
Il appeal TO all my people not to
create connection, but 10 appreciate
the situation and the trend Of events
and to continue to enjoy happiness by
pursuing their peaceful occupations
and obeying the new administration.
I'm taking this step we have not dis
regarded your interests; on the con-
trary We acted with the hope OF relleV-
ing a deplOrable situation. Therefore

simultaneously with the prOmulga-
cation of the emperOr's decree the
governor general issuel a proclamation
outlining the future administration
policy of ChO Sen, the name under
which Korea Will be known. 1t says
that the interests of the Japanese and
Korean people are identical and that
they are now amalgamated. It also
outlines the treatment TO be accorded
TO the late imperial family and TO the
nobility Amnesty is decreed to pris-
Oners sentenced for slight offenses and
the poorer people are relieved of their
unpaid taxes. The new administFa-
ton will advance $500, 600 to encOur-
age industry and TO provide hospitals
and relieve paupers.
The proclamation continues by urg-
ing the people of Che Sen to preserve
order. 1t says that thousands of per-
sons will be employed in public works
and that religious freedom viii be rec
ognized, but that political or sectarian
intrigues, under the cover of religion,
will be punished. All the loyal, law
abiding citizens will benefit by a wise
rule. In conclusion, a strong appeal Is
made to the people not to be led astray.

nOunced the gist OF the agreement be-
tween the Korean and Japanese en-
perors The people are quiet. Leading
koreans say the people generally Will
accept the situation, believing that the
