STEAMER AT BOTTOM OF SEA,
BUT The SAILORS ARE SAFE
FINDS YOKE CALLING
STEEL MAGNATE ASKS
DECREE Of DIVORCE
James Gayley Takes Up Residence
in Nevada and Brings
Suit.

Reno New, Feb. Suit for divorce on
the ground of desertion\ was filed this
afternoon in the district court in this city
by James Gayley, second vice president of
the United States Steel corporation.
The complaint is one of the briefest ever
filed in the local court. merely containing
the bare allegation of desertion, the date
of the marriage of the parties and the
names of their offspring.
No mention is made of the community
property and it is therefore presumed that
satisfactory settlement has been made
and that there will be no contest on the
part of the defendant, Julia Gardner Gay
ley, whose place of residence is given as
% Washington Square North. New York.
Tie names of the children are given
as Mary, Agnes and Florence, now resid-
ing iii New York City.
The complaint recites that the parties
were married at st. Louis, Mo, February
=. 1884, and that on July 1. 1908, the de-
PENDANT deserted her husband without
cause and has refused to live with him
since that date. although he has repeated
ly requested her to do so.
During his residence in Reno Gayley has
leCtuTed at the University of Nevada on
the iron industry and has been party
to many social gatherings. He recently
purchased a lot in the residence district
Of Reno and is having a $4,000 building
erected thereon,

Il want an open and candid conduct OF
the business Mr.. Hepburn responded
Would YOU advise the posting Of the
names of depoSitOrs?" asked Mr.. Carter.
The Idaho senator responded that he
had not reached that point, and Mr.. Car
ter said: .
You soon will reach it if you keep on"
Another interesting collOquy between the
western senators ran as follows:
Mr. HeybuTn-OUt of what fund would
the interest be paid
Mr. Carter-The bill cOntemplates the
turning over OF all surplus earnings for
that purpose.
Mr. Heyburr-SuppOse there are none?
Mr. CarteT-Then it will devOlVe upon
the board of trustees to devise means.
Mr. Heyburn-The bill devOlves too
many things upon the uncertainties OF
the future
In conclusion Mr.. Hepburn pronounced
the bill to be utterly vicious and predicted
that, in the end, it would be necessary to
pay the depOsitOrs by appropriation out Of
the national treasury.
In the discussion Mr.. Smith of Michi-
gan made the predictions that If the bill
became a law. the postal banks would
become footballs Of politics and that the
rate of interest would prove a fruitful
base for promises by the INSCRIPTIONS Of
flee seeker
Mr. Carter made no formal reply to the
criticism. merely asking to have the bill
printed in the Congressional Record as
the best possible refutatiOn of the repre-
sensations OF its opponents.

WIVES IN GREAT PLENTY
DR.. Karl Emil Won Miller Safe Behind
the Bars and Out of Reach
of Victims.

New York, Feb. 4-Dr. Karl Emil Won
Miller. or Mueller the marrying count, ~
stood siege today in the Hudson county
Jail in Jersey City by small army Of
women who claim him as husband
Miller was brought to Jersey City yes
terday from Los Angeles. He is said to
be so plentifUlly married that a trial for
bigamy on some nineteen or twenty
counts probably awaits him.
He was safe behind the bars and failed
TO display the nervousness he not IN
naturally exhibited when two women
met him at the railroad station on his ar
rival and one of them, Miss Bertha Al
brecht, throttled him and created d
scene by her screams.
Miss Albrecht claims the count merely
as a suitor who, when rejected. solaeed
himself with $500 of her money Miss
Regina Vergina Belman declares the
count married her in 1908, and that when
he left her he took 500 of her money.
Miller asserts he did not marry half
of the women who declare he is their
husband He denies any acquaintance
with Miss AlbTecht.

WELL IS ALMOST
TOMB FOR A MAN
Lee Stewart Buried Beneath
Ton of Rock and
Dirt.

Buried for three hours beneath eight
feet of rock and dirt, and escaping
with only few slight cuts and
bruises, was the experience Of Lee
Stewart yesterday afternoon. How he
escaped with his life is a mystery. for
there was fully q ton of rock fell fell
upon the young man.
Stewart. who lives on Twenty-first
East and Eleventh South. accompanied
by friend, Harry Newcomb Of Sugar
House, yesterday afternoon went to
inspect a well at the corner of Ninth
East and Fourteenth South, which had
gone dry. The well was dug about
year ago, and at that time the sides
were walled with heavy boulders.
Stewart, by means of a ladder, went
TO the bottom of the well, a distance
Of twenty feet. In going down the shaft
several rocks near the top became
loosened, and no sooner had Stewart
reached the bottom than the rocks and
dirt from the sides of the well caYed
III, completely burying him.
About eight feet of the walled sides
of the we'll gave way so quickly that
Stewart was unable to escape. New
comb Immediately spread an alarm
throughout the neighborhood, and also
summoned DR.. Charles Stewart of Su-
gar House.
For nearly three hours NeWcOmb
worked in the bottom of the shaft,
loading buckets with the rocks and
dirt that held his friend a prisoner be-
meath. Finally Stewards head was IN
covered, but he could not be removed
from the well until almost all the rocks
had been taken out. He was uncon-
scious when removed, but was soon re-
vived He was uninjured other than a
few cuts and bruises on his body. His
right ankle was sprained, but no bones
were broken.
How Stewart escaped without being
killed is a mystery" said Dr. Stewart
4 have seen many disasters and acct
dents, and before Stewards rescue yes
terday 1 fully believed that he was
dead, as 1 did not see how a man could
live under such pile Of rock. There
was also every bslef that the large
boulders had struck him on the head,
crushing his skull, but, luckily, such
was not the case"

SEEKING WAY TO ESCAPE
Counsel for Charles r. Heike Afraid
to Press a StraightOut Plea
of Immunity.

New York, Feb. 4-The tangle in the
sugar underweighing fraud cases was
further complicated, if anything, by the
hearing in the United States court here
today.
Counsel for Charles r. Heike, secre-
tary of the American Sugar Refining
company, while anxious to press the
claim of immunity for his client on the
ground that he had testified 10 ma
terial matters before the grand jury,
did not wish TO imperil his case by risk
ing a defeat in trial of the facts, and
then finding his way 10 a motion to
quash the indictment barred.
1t was finally agreed to leave ii to
Judge Martin to decide whether he
would personally examine the minutes
OF the grand jury before which Heike
appeared and then hear further argu-
mcut.

SAVED FROM THE KNIFE
st. Louis Woman Climbs Fire Escape,
Steps Into Dissecting Room and
Reseues Fathers Body.

St. Louis, Mo. Feb. stop! That
is my fathers body"
This command startled students of
the st. Louis College of Physicians and
Surgeons today, as they were prepar-
ing to dissect the body of Frank Roth.
Turning from their task, they were
confronted by Mrs. Rosa Huelfmann,
who had learned after a long delay
where the body had been taken. She
had climbed a fire escape to a third
story window and stepped into the OPP
Grating room. Mrs Huelfmann had no
difficulty in proving her claim, and the
college surrendered the body.
Roth died in the City hospital. His
daughter read in a newspaper of his
death, and went to the hospital ana
asked for the body. 1t was not there,
and she was referred to the st. Louis
anatCnomical board. Tt was eight
hours before she succeeded in Iocat-
ing 1t
Roth lost an s3S, 600 estate in Germany
because relatives had heard he died
shortly after coming here fifty years
ago.

The Old Resort will
Have HOuseWarming
Famous Establishment VIII
Throw Open Doors of New
Place Saturday.

Friends of The Old Resort, many of

everything in bottled goods, rs well
as the product of the Fred krug Brew
ing company of Omaha, such as the in-
comparable "Luxus" beer, are invited
to attend the big housewarming which
VIII be given at the new location next
Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, The
new home Of The Old Resort is Just
around the corner from the old stand
on Main street, and the entrance is
now from Third South street. This
change was made necessary by the re-
modelling of the Cliff house building,
and although this work will not be
completed for about three weeks, the
room on Third South street to be oc-
cupied by The Old Resort will be ready
Saturday.
Adam Snyder, who has been the Salt
Lake agent for the Fred Krug Brew
ing company for the last twelve years
has been manager of The Old Resort,
and he has had personal supervision of
the plans for remodeling and refur-
uishing the place. Comfort and ele-
gance have been combined in a most
artistic manner, and the added beau
ties and comforts of the new quarters
will more than make up for the loss
of some OF the old familiar surround
ings.
The new barroom is fitted and fur
nished throughout in beautiful Flemish
oak. of cool, dark color. The mirrors
at the back Of the bar are of the finest
bevel French plate, and the displays of
bottled goods will all be under glass

latest improved ball bearings, and are
models for that purpose. The ma
hogany bar is one OF the finest in the
city, and the back bar, of massive de-
sign, is especially attractive. Only cut
glass will be used on the bar.
Special attention has been given to
the lighting of the new room, and a
special design of arc light will be
used for the interior. An immense and
brilliant electric sign will hang over
for many blocks in either direction.
Office rooms have been fitted up in
the front of the building, and the fur
nishings for substantial elegance will
rival those of any bank or business
house in Salt Lake, In this office Mr..
Snyder will transact his business as
agent for the Krug Brewing company,
where hundreds of orders for 1.-The
Beer You Like" will be received and
filed every day.
All old and new patrons and friends
of The Old Resort will be welcomed
heartily on the occasion of the opening,
and the reception will be one that will
be in keeping with Mr.. Snyder's es.
tablished reputation for hospitality.
One feature of the opening which Will
be appreciated by old friends will be
the display of relic which Will be
recognized instantly.
