Infantile Paralysis Is Not
Likely to Become Epidemic

w THILE infantile paralysis has at
w Iained the record of an cpl
demic in New York city, several
Isolated cases have become known in
Salt Lake recently, and are causing
general discussion in the hediSiu fra
ternity of the city. According 10 sew
eral of the physicians who have attend
ed little patients suffering from this
peculiar paralytic condition, the dis
ease viii never reach the epidemic
stage in Salt Lake, AT least for a good
many years 1t is probable that in the
whole city there are not ten cases.
Some of the physicians from large east
ern cities have become acquainted with
the disease there, but the bulk of the
physicians OF Salt Lake do not know
from experience Of the cases.
No cases have been taken to the hos
pitfalls SO far as can be learned. It is
generally believed that the disease is
communicable through the nasal mem
brane, though this is still a mOoted
theory throughout the country In

seat in the supposedly fatal chair, Elec-
ira shows the audience the effect OF
the current and when seated, objects
are set on fire by contact with diff
rerent parts OF his body. This astOnish-
ing feat is performed in good faith, but
so far has had no satisfactory explana-
ton by scientists. Electricians or 9TH
er interested persons in the audience
are invited upon the stage and shown
that no wires are concealed about the
performer, whose exhibition is viewed
with great interest
The BelmOnts give a good perform
ance which is best in its musical num-
bers. The man performer is an artist
on the banjo and the little girl can sing
in taking way. Hartman's Hungarian
dancers would do credit to any Vaude
Vile house in the city. The man and
woman are graceful and agile, their
costumes are attractive and the native
dances are very entertaining. The NOV
Ing pictures complete the program.

VAUDEVILLE AT sHUBERT.

The Shubert theatre has been added
TO the list of the citys vaudeville
houses. Saturday afternoon the first
installment of the Bert Levy circuit

regularly throughout the winter, with
a weekly change of bill. The programs
Will consist OF six acts, four of Vaude-
vile. with two reels Of moving pictures
or, as is the case this week, three of
each Considering the low price of ad-
mission, for the Shubert has gone into
the 10-cent class, patrons will more
than get their moneys worth. In fact
on the opening bill II was worth that

New York, so serious has the epidemic
become among children that physicians
are now compelled TO report the same
as other contagious or infectious dis
eases. In Salt Lake, however. no such
precantiOn is deemed necessary, be
cause OF the few cases.
Symptoms OF Disease
The disease is most peculiar in its
attacks upon children. A child may go
to sleep at night apparently in the best
OF health. During the night the in
1ected one aWakes with splitting
headache. later developing into paraly-
sis or the arm and leg. AS a rule. the
paralytic condition OF the arm passes
away, but the leg slowly draws up and
generally leaves the child a cripple
through life. Medical science has been
working upon this latest of diseases
but no definite cure has been achieved
nor has there been established any pos
tive theory as to the method by which
the disease is communicated.

FOLLOWED TO DANIELS.

In its successful summer season at
the Shubert theatre, the Curtis Musical
Stock company created clientele which
will follow il to the Daniels, If the
crowded houses at the opening per-
fOrmances are an indication of the flu
ture patronage. Each of the musical
plays has been very acceptable, but
none more so than The Summer Tour
lists" the offering for the first week
at the Daniels. a clever play, with the
usual line of novelties and musical
numbers that are the main reason for
the popularity of these productions, is
presented by the capable Curtis com
pany. Some new faces are seen, par
ticularIy in the chorus, which is i'm
proving constantly in good looks and
IN the character of its dancing.
The little comedy is a whimsical
take-off on the customary mountain
summer resort. The landlord is an i'm
pOrtant parsonage and the principal
comedy part, played by that popular
entertainer, Henry Auerbach, is that of
IN absent-minded inventor, Professor
Ludwig MoOner. Maybelle Baker is
well cast as the professors charming
daughter, a part that gives opportunity
for two delightful songs. NIX on the
Glow Worm" and Song of the Soul"
Lillian Sutherland has a small talk
ing part. but she makes a great hit with
two songs, Lena Schmidt" and Doctor
Tinker Tinker" sung with the chorus
In the first Of these Miss Sutherland
is the whole thing, her work being eX-
ceptionally clever In the second the
daintily attired chorus OF young and
pretty girls attracts more than its
share of the attention, considering that
Miss Sutherland does a great piece of
work. Charles Figg makes a good
landlord and creates an excellent i'm
preston with his songs, II Wish I Had
NV Old Girl Back Again" and Say, Sis
Give Us a Kiss" Fred KTaemer, Mayme
Prayer and Anna Clarke also present
an attractive song. A neat finish TO
the performance is the farewell song
given from the rear OF a moving train
by the entire company.

EMPLOYEES ASK FOR
INCREASE IN RATES
Railroads Send Out Petition;
Commercial Club Traffic
Bureau Opposes.

Acting upon orders from Chicago. A.
F. Brewer superintendent of the Utah
division Of the Oregon Short Line. has
sent out blank petitions to be signed
by employees of the road. praying to
the interstate commerce commission
for a raise In freight rates. Self
preservation" is the reason given by MI.
Brewer for the action.
The petition sets forth that the ex-
penses OF railroads are now much
greater than ever in the past, that
the service is more efficient and that
shippers should be willing to pay more
Tor better service. Statements OF the
gross and net earnings of the Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific and Denver &
RIO Grande accompany the petitions,
and on these very shOwings the Com
mercial club traffic bureau, in a state
ment. Just published. contends that the
rates should be reduced instead OF
raised
"Of course we are acting from
rather selfish standpoint" said Mr.
Brewer last night THE railroad bust
ness is just like all other business, in
that its stockholders are imbued with
the natural desire TO make money.
Expenses Increased.
But il is a fact that the expenses OF
all railroads have been materially IN
creased in the last few years. Salaries
must also be increased and more men
must be employed. The railroad must
take this step in order to prevent a
reduction in salaries or cut in the
number of employees. I received orders
from Chicago 10 send out the circulars
and petitions to be signed by all the
employees who would willingly affiX
their signatures, but / believe the
movement was started by President K.
s. LOvett himself in New York City.
The Hartman lines are not alone In
this movement. The Santa Fe has taken
II up and I understand many other
roads are contemplating It,"
In a letter accompanying the petit
ton blanks, Mr.. Brewer makes it plain
that no emplOye Of the road need sign
against his wish. 1t is suggested, how
ever, that when men refuse to sign
their reason be gained as a matter Of
information. The petition is so drawn
as TO make IL appear that il comes
directly from the men in the yards and
shops and on the trains and that they
are taking the action as a guard against
a decrease in salaries.
