Would Add to Beauty.

These tracts taken In connection
with the large piece already owned
by the city, would form one Of the
most delightful park properties to
be found anywhere, It lies on
sloping hillside and could be i'm
proved in terraced gardens Of ex-
quisite beauty, and while being es-
sentially a city park, it would, in
fact, also be a grand entrance to
the state university. The city
could, in this way, show to the
state its appreciation Of the UNI
versity being located in the city,
and by making grand stone
flanked entrance to the park at
the point where First South street
crosses Thirteenth East. and a two
huudred-foot wide boulevard or
esplanade extending from said
grand entrance of the university,
a more excellent foreground or ap-
proach to q university could hardly
be found in this country than we
would have here in this city, and
at comparatively very low cost.
Here, too. in few years we could
with reason expect TO see some
beautiful statues erected by pub
fc-spirited citizens, the city and
the state, in commemoration Of
great men and stirring events in
the history of the intermountain
west
I trust the subject Of this letter
will meet with your personal views
and that you can early officially
investigate the feasibility Of the
proiect-to the end that Salt Lake
City NAV not be cheated out OF
getting these most excellent park
sitcs-while they are as vet un-
improved and vacant for the most
part.
In your consideration of these
suggestions. please bear in mind
that ] am in no way trying to sell
the city anything. I have no
agency Of any Of the property
mentioned, nor do I expect 10 have
anything 70 do with its sale either
now, or at anv time in the future,
but residing out near the univer-
sity and being very much interest
ed in the general proposition Of
making Salt Lake City great
educational center, ] am naturally
anxious to do the little ! can to
bring about this most coveted and
proud position for our city.

park area while land was comPar-

At that time, while advocating
the early acquisition of q greatly
increased area as q general propo-
sition-I laid special stress on
two particular sites that were to
nv mind the most desirable of any
of the centrally located ground,
and at the same time that which
would likely be the first to be
built upon-and thus put out Of
the city's reach.
These were: First, the tract OF
vacant ground immediately south
Of and adjoining the Lafayette
school grounds-with frontage on
North Temple and State streets,
This ! advocated as n beauty spot
near the city's heart and on the
way TO the capitol, and especially
desirable because it would protect
one OF the most beautiful of the
city's public schools from being
marred and placed in the back
ground by unsightly Fat buildings

eupy the site. 4 city park at this
point would indeed be a wise In
vestment and would be especially

The spirit of romance which de-
lights in keeping friends in the dark
as to the date, the place and all other

evidenced itself in the belated an
nouncement of the marriage Of Miss
Mildred Place of Upper Florida and
Mr.. Andrew Gillispie of this city.

immediate members Of the family.
Laters other suspected the secret and
now the brides parents confirm the

the event.

join the many friends in extending
congratulations to this worthy young
couple and also join in the wealth Of
good wishes that the best that life
affords may be their portion.

spected residents Of the county. She

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The scene at
Mercy hospital last night when Alice
Roosevelt Longworth greeted her IA
ther as he lay in his bed with would
be assassin's bullet in his breast, was
strange mixture of joy and pathos
in which the former presidents in
dominable optimism eventually pre-
vailed.
Mrs. Longworth was accompanied to
the hospital by Mrs. Medil McCor-
mick and Geo. F. Porter, assistant
treasurer of the national Progressive
ticket. She was escorted Immediately
to the third floor by Colonel Cecil
Lyon and Ebert Martin, Colonel Roos-
evelt's stenographer.
In spite of her obvious eagerness
to see her father without a moments
delay she stopped long enough to
warmly thank the latter two men for
their bravery for leaping on Schrank
after he had fired the first shot. 81
want to thank you both," she said
her eyes growing misty, you probably
saved fathers life" Following this
remark her expression of concern re-
turned with greater emphasis than a
moment before.
where is father?" she asked with
great eagerness. Colonel Lyon point
ed to nearby door which Mr.. Martin
silent threw open. 1t was like lift
ing curtain in the drama. AS Mrs
Longworth saw Mr. Roosevelt lying
supine in the snow bed, she stood
transfxed for fraction of second
and then rushed forward
"Oh, father" was her glad cry.
"Tut, tut. I've only got scratch,
DEAR" and at this point he threw wide
apart his great muscular arms as if
to embrace his daughter, while Colonel
Lyon gently closed the door. What
went on behind the concealed portal
is only matter of conjecture.

UNUSUAL PICTURES AT THE
ELECTRIC AND ISIS TONIGHT

The United Theater company has
one of the best programs for tonight
and tomorrow night that has been
shown for many months. Three edu-
cational pictures of unusual merit.
Three good comedies and a western
drama.
Five years ago the world was shock
ed to hear of the sinking of one of
the finest and fastest ore boats on
the Great Lakes. During one of the
worst storms in the memory of sailors
this great boat, the Vega, became
suddenly lost and almost without
warning was driven ashore on the
rocks near the Fox islands in north
ern Lake Michigan. There she lay in
shoal water like wounded thing,
helpless, until the maddened sea drove
her to the bottom of the lake.
The Vega was a comparatively new
boat, built along the most modern
lines at an immense cost. Upon this,
her fatal trip, she was carrying a
valuable cargo of steel. Naturally
she became tempting prize for sal
wage wreckers.
The picture in vivid story form
shows the salvage process. We see
the captain and his men hoist their
derricks, unload their machinery and
get their diving apparatus ready.
Then we follow them as they cut great
sheets of metal from the steamers
decks by the aid of compressed air.
We see the divers go down into her
hull and watch the dangerous work OF
"clamming" her ore cargo. After this
interesting work is completed we see
the huge boat blown into million
atoms by powerful explosions.
Another picture of vast educational
value is the right way and the wrong
way of getting on and off cars, get.
ting in and out of boats, extinguish.
ing fires, etc.
A program to suit anyone and every
one. Complete on page A.

The police declare that Schrank
came from ancestry in which insanity
is frequent and presumably has been
slightly unbalanced mentally for sew
eral years, the unhinging of his mind
believed to date from the death of a
girl friend in the Slocum disaster.
Information thus far in the hands
of the police shows that Schrank was
born in Bavaria, and came to this
country when 9 years old with an
uncle whose name he bore for many
years. His father suffered from de-
lusions, and his grandfather, a rich
broker, exhibited unsoundness of mind
in his declining years.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt awoke at 6:20 this
morning feeling fine as he express
ed it to his night nurse who was pre-
pared to take his clinical record. At
that time the colonel had had more
than three hours of unbroken rest and
his condition showed marked improve
ment.
The clinical record shows Colonel
Roosevelt's temperature 1856, his pulse
IA, his respiration 20. This indicates
decrease in his temperature Of two
tenth, ten beats in his pulse and Two
counts in his respiration since 10
O'Clock last night.
The following statement was issued
by Colonel Roosevelt's physicians at
9 o'clock this morning:
1.-THE records show that Colonel
Roosevelt passed a very good night,
that his temperature and pulse is nor
NAL. That his highest pulse since 8
O'Clock last night, 80, temperature 9s.s
and that his pulse at 6 o'clock this
morning was IA, shows that he is hav-
ing less irritation of the pleura from
the injured rib than he did yesterday
That he did not have to have an
anodyne for pain. General condition
excellent.
During the early hours of the night
Colonel Roosevelt's sleep was often
broken and fer long periods he was
awake, willing away his time with a
copy of Macau'ey's essays which he
had brought to the hospital with him.
Often the volume would fall from his
hands and for n short space he dozed,
only to awake with start and to
resume his reading.
Mrs. Roosevelt occupies the next
room to the colonel.
