md Is in fashion such as has seldom
been attempted by local production.
The play calls for heavy, mountings
and tremendous choruses, which are
now being organized, together with
elaborate and expensive scenery and
costumes. It's presentation will be an
event in the theatrical history of Salt
Lake. George L. Graves of New

charge of the general production. Mr.,
Graves is now arranging his cast,

himself and will train the ballet,
which constitutes an important fea-
ture Of the production, Prof, j. J..
Mcclellan has written the music and
will have full charge OF the musical
end Of the show. With such staff of
direction a notable presentation is as
sured.
The play itself is pronounced strong
and vltally interesting by those who
have had the privilege Of reading it.
1t deals with an exciting portion of
the history Of the early peoples of this
continent as told in the Book of Nor
mon, the dramstization closely follow
ing the story in the Mormon sacred
history. There is much music and
dancing in the production, and the
stage of the Salt Lake theater will be
we'll filed. Cast, choruses and ballet
will bring nearly a hundred people to-
gether at one time, Beautiful spectac-
ular effects are called for, and the cos
TUNES and scenery are of great beauty.

ROBBED DEAD BODY Negro Charged With Taking Clothing From Barton Haggerty

A thief of very unusual character was arrested yesterday afternoon by De- tective Murphy and Officer Henderson one charged with stealing clothes off the person of a dead man.
 The name of the negro is Ernest Thomp- son and he was in the employ of the Johns Undertaking company on Fourth avenue Monday morning the body of young Bar ton Haggerty, who was shot and killed by Anthony Moss Sunday afternoon at North Birmingham, was in the under taking establishment, about to be placed in the casket when some of the clothing in which he was to have been buried was taken off of him.
 The case at first mystified the under takers and was placed in the hands of the police. Detective Murphy was assigned the case and late yesterday fastened the crime to Thompson. The shoes which were stolen were new pair and were the ones which MT. Haggerty was wearing at the time of the shooting.
 Thompson was placed in the city jail charged with grand larceny Several other larceny cases will be placed against him by the undertaking company

Mobile. November 21.--The investiga- tion of charges of discrimination against the Mobile and Ohio and Southern rail- way by the Mobile Chamber of Com r1erce and Horace Turner & Co.,. lumber exporters, was continued in the United States court room today before Special Examiner G. P. Boyle of the interstate commerce commission.
 The main facts developed were in the examination of Mobile and Ohio and steamship officials. Vice President and General Manager R. V. Taylor of the Mobile and Ohio testified to a tentative proposition for building connection be- tween his road and the New Orleans Mobile and Chicago, to reach the Fur ner Hartwell docks, which was taken up in the early part of 1910. It was the MO bile and Ohio and Southern's change or freight tariffs, refusing shipside delivery to docks and wharves other than their own, cutting out of the absorption or switching and terminal charges the Fur aer Hartwell docks, which brought on the cornpalint of the port against these railroad companies.
 MT. Taylor stated that the proposed connection to reach the docks was 1ound too costly and it was abandoned, al- though at no time had it reached an agreement to serve tne new uochs oy iiS railtoad He admitted an effort to lease the docks for s30,OOO annually or to pur- chase them outright for $750,00O. but said that consideration of this was at once abandoned when the owning company wanted S1,000. 900 for the property.
 Vice President Alfred H. Groomeil or the Munson Steamship company which has special agreement with the Mo- bile and Ohio and Southern railroads for handling the Cuban traffic, stated that his company could not build up the Gu han trade into and out of Mobile, which 1t now has, without the railroad agree ment as to delivering freight for Cuba to the line exclusively and giving It's steamers exclusive dock space.

FURTHER DELAY IS
 GRANTED PACKERS

Chicago, November 21.-Further delay in the criminal trial of the indicted Chi- eago meat packers until next Monday was granted counsel for the defendants late today by the trial judge, George A. Carpenter of the United States district court. As result, the fight to save the packers from facing a jury probably will shift from Chicago to Washington where efforts will be made to obtain a stay order from a justice of the United States su- preme court.
 Counsel for the packers effected the delay by first appearing before Judge Kohlsaat in the United States circuit court. where the entering of an order uuashing the packers habeas corpus writ and had been marking time since Sat- urday. When delay was granted Satur- day by Judge Kohlsaat it was agreed that formal entering of this order should take place on Wednesday.

CONTINUE INVESTIGATION
 OF DISCRIMINATION CHARGE

General Manager w. A. Rinner of the Elder Dempser Steamship company, New Orleans, made the statement that Mobile is not by any means free port He recited that the Southern and Mo- bile and Ohio railroads issue through bills of lading to any steamship line at New Orleans, including his own. but refuse to his line at Mobile the ls- suance of through bills
 The railroad counsel challenged the viewpoint of MT. Rinner that through bills and special wharf facilities for fa- vored lines of steamships are not now needed for the stimulation of Mobiles commerce, on account of witness hav- ing drawn up a contract between his company and the Mobile and Ohio and Southern railways in 1905 in which the Elder Dempser company was made a favored steamship line. MT. Rinner ex- plained that at that time it was prob able the trade of the port needed such conditions for development and ad- mitted that he would enjoy monopoly If 1t could be obtained.
 w. L. ODwyer. general freight and passenger agent of the New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago, favored the separ- atfon of the cost of the railroad haul to the port and terminal charges.
 John B. Waterman, agent of the Mo- bile Atlantic Steamship line, stated that favored steamship lines were a neces- sity in building up a small port but that Mobile had reached the position where tonnage is seeking the port and the commerce had the right to demand an open port.
 In answer to questions by Examiner Boyle when the subject of local cot ton came up, MT. Waterman stated that Mobile was discriminated against be- cause of losing business originating in Montgomery that goes through Bruns- wick and Savannah on through bills of lading. He considered that if the rail- road companies gave bills of lading through Mobile to all steamship lines instead of applying to one line this bus mess would come to Mobile.
