MANY VISITORS
ENJOY HOLIDAY
Thousands Who Come to Salt
Lake for Mormon Confer
ence See Great City.

Conference visitors enjoyed a holi-
day yesterday, there being no session of
the genral conference of the Latter
day Saints. The general officers and
delegates Of the Young Ladies Mutual
Improvement association held their
semi annual meeting yesterday morning
in the Eighteenth ward assembly hall
and there were large number of mis-
sionary reunions and sessions of Off
GERS of various branches of tho church
organization, but the great majority
of the throng were free to spend
the day as they chose in business or
pleasure.
1t was evident that most Of the visit
ors preferred pleasure to business, for
while the stores were thronged they
were not congested as were many the
aters and other pleasure resorts.
The aviation meet took several thou
sand of the visitors from the country
to Bonneville field, many of them OBJ
tanning for the first time in their lives
"A view of an airship In flight.
The management of the ISeeing
Salt Lake. cars and autos reported
an unusually heavy business, not of
the tourist class, and it was to be
noted that, almost without exception,
the citizens of Utah who reside in
the remote sections and seldom visit
the metropolis Of the state expressed
both wonder and admiration over the
growth of Salt Lake City. The new
Utah hotel was a particular object of
interest, as was the kearns building
and the Newbonse skyscrapers.
1t is within the memory of every man
who has lived in Salt Lake for five
wears that the spring conference has
frequently been the occasion of many
persons walking the streets, unable to
obtain sleeping accommodations. But
while the conference crowd this year
is fully up to the standard and is aug
mented by many visitors, drawn hore
by the aviation meet, there has been
no marked congestion in the hotels and
no one has been unable to secure a
room. This alone furnishes conclusive
evidence of the city's growth and of
its ability to care for large crowds
Concluding sessions of the confer
ence will be held today, the morning
session opening at 10 clock, the after,
noon session at 2 o clock Some of the
important meetings of church officials
will be held Monday and Tuesday hut
the exodus of the throng of visitors
from outside points will begin tonight.
For the special accommodation of
conference visitors who reside in the
northern portion of the state the train

and intermediate points, which ordinar.

''At present there is a difference OF

Details of Cataclysm Given Be-
fore the Utah Academy of
Science.
PROF. WILLIAM PETERSON
SHEDS LIGHT ON MATTER
Story Told in Connection With
EIucidatiOn of Planet
esimal Hypothesis.

Going at the rate of nearly 1000
miles minute. terrific collision took
place recently, forming 4 cataclysm
which was duly photographed aud ex-
hibited before the Utah Academy of
Science last night in the high school
building. The collision was between
two dark suns, and paradoxical as 1T
NAV seem the damage would have been
heavier ,f they had been light suns.
AS it was, they Uttered up the sidcreal
system only about as much as two small
mnabouts coming together would hitter
up Main street.
These facts became known while Pro
fcssor William Peterson of the Utah
Agricultural college was elucidatIng the
pIanetcsimal hypothesis; that is, he was
telling how this world and sundry 9th
er worlds were made.
Heretofore persons whose curiosity
has led them to investigate world max
ing have generally conceded with La
Place whose Nebular Hypothesis has
been expounded in class rooms of UNI
vcrsitics ali over the world.
1t develops now, however, that there
arc many discrepancies in La Place s
theories. For instance, he says that
baby worlds are mere coagulatlons OF
gas but the advocates of the Planetesi-
mai or Spiral Hypothesis Insist that
small planets are solid and that La
Place S theory is largely gas.
Leecture Is Interesting.
Professor Peterson IS lecture was in
ienseiy ioteresting to u large audience.
His talk was illustrated with lantern
slides showing some of the latest side
real photographs taken at Gerkes oh
servatory.
'It is only within the last few years
that we nave been taking these photo
graphs said Professor Peterson, but
if we keep at it about 500 years more
il is quite likely we shall know some
thing about the worlds we photo
graph.
Anothes fact brought out by Profes-
So Peterson is that the sun is merely
second band luminary that has done
duty elsewhers and in time Will die out,
leaving MS all to freeze to death. The
Spiral Hypothesis does not pretend to
account ror the construction of the sun,
but it does set forth that there are at
least 100000 suns. many of which are
much larger han the one we see. There
are also myriaGs of dark stars wan

their own way as the brilliantly con
