UTAH ROCK ASPHALT
SAID TO BE SCARCE
AS Result, Future Contracts May Be
Made In Alternative Form by
City Commissioners.

AS means of doing away with
trouble such as has arisen on several
city paving contracts over the lack of
material specified in the contract, the
city commission is considering the
drawing Of an alternative form Of con-
tract for future improvements by which
two kinds Of material can be specified.
The matter was taken up by the COM
missioners in informal session yester-
day morning, and the city attorney was
instructed to prepare such form if a
legal way could be found for doing if.
Practically all the paving contracts
let this year have called for the Utah
rock asphalt as the surfacing material
and on account of shortage of this ma
terial most of the work has been tied
up internationally.
If the new form of contract is adopt
ed it will be possible to meet such
emergencies in the future by simply al
lowing the contractor to switch to the
alternative material

"UTAH'S CLIMATE is
BEST IN THE WORLD"
Captain Frank T. Hines Passes Opin-
ion as Expert After Tour of Many
Thousand Miles.

Utah!s climate hasn't an equal in
the world. Such is the expert opinion
Of Captain Frank T. Hines of the
quartermaster department of the
United States army expressed yester-
day as he was leaving Salt Lake after
a stay of few days here inspecting
the post at Fort Douglas.
"When 1 reached Salt Lake on this
trip" said Captain Hines, ~ had
completed an inspection trip of $4,000
miles. Nowhere in the entire trip did
I encounter climate at all compara-
BILE to that of Salt Lake. In Ca1ifor
MIA / roasted; in the Puget Sound
country I was drenched, and at Fort
Yellowstone froze Only in Utah did
I find an ideal climate--a climate that
could not be improved"
While in Salt Lake Captain Hines
inspected the mechanical and electri-
cal equipment at Fort Douglas, with
special inspection Of the methods of
heating the post. He also paid short
visit to his father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank l.. Hines

ALLEGED BURGLAR
CAUSE OF COMMOTION
Visitor to City Runs to Police Station
in Bare Feet; Police Respond;
Suspect Arrested.

Mr, and Mrs. W. P. Crozier of Ire
monton, who are staying with their
nephew, II. c. Crozier, at 1O6 South
Second East street during the state
fair, had an experience at an early
hour this morning which had a two
fold result, Mr.. CTozier in his bare
feet ran to the police station, and
there delivered in person a burglar
call, Sergeant Charles Olson and Pa
trolman J. A. Egbert ran him foot
race back to the Crozier home, and
there arrested Ray Louden, who though
pretending to be intoxicated, was
booked at headquarters on a burglary
charge.
Mrs Crozier told the police that she
had been awakened by noise In the
room and dimly saw Louden going
through her husbands trousers pockets
She turned on the electric light and at
the same time aroused her husba nd
Louden dropped to the floor at the foot
of the bed and feigned intoxicaticn
CroZ!er stood guard over the man and
Mrs. Crozier called her nephew from a
nearby room. The nephew then took
up the guard and Crozier started on his
record breaking dash to the station.
Miss Helma Swenson and Miss Zina
Lawrence were awakened by the noise
and found their room In a topsy-turvy
condition. Both expressed the belief
that their belongings had been ram
sacked by Louden before his discovery
by Mrs. Crozier Nothing OF value was
missed from either room.

L. D. S. GIRLS HAVE
BETTER OF CONTEST
Feminist Movement Arouses the Boys
at the College; Election to Be
Held Today.

The announcement Of the feminist
movement in the Latter-day Saints
university yesterday morning seems to
have created no little excitement among
the students there. A canvass of the
members Of the class eligible to vote
makes it clear that there are two more
girls than boys, which is considered by
the leaders of the movement as en-
couraging.
Boys OF the class assert that the idea
Of a girl yell leader is absurd, as also
is that of one managing athletics.
Lawrence Sloan, editor Of the school
paper, is said to be doing all in his
power to curb the movement. He has
declared the boys are a slow crowd of
politicians to allow the girls to get the
upper hand, and to his efforts is credited
the postponement Of the election until
today.
The girls are saying little, but there
is look Of satisfaction on their faces
as they listen to the indignant argu-
ments Of their opponents, But they do
not quarrel OF argue. They hear pa
tientl y Of the greatness Of their op-
ponents In comparison to their own
worth as Office holders, and then they
Just smile
Miss Beth Keate and Miss Venice
Lambert, leaders in the movement,
arc making no speeches and seem to be
e4erting no great effort, but their fol-
lowing appears to include every girl in
the senior class. The election will be
held today,

DEFENDS FIRE CHIEF
ON SMOKE ARGUMENT
Attitude Concerning Boiler Firing In
School Is Correct, Says Engineer
Jesse Coogan.

Jesse Coogan of the Coogan Engineer
ing company Is one Of the defenders of
Fire Chief W. H. Bywater in his atti-
tude concerning boiler firing at the
public schools.
One Of the principal points made by
Mr.. Coogan, as indorsing the stand
taken by Mr.. Bywater, is that inexperi-
enced firemen Of high pressure boilers
have often been responsible for most
terrible accidents. He urges that a
boiler under high pressure is as great
internal machine-safe enough so long
as carefully handled, but fatal in the
extreme where carelessness or inexperi-
ence comes in contact with it.
Mr. Coogan argues that the fact that
boilers at public schools arc frequently
inspected does not give guarantee of
safety if the handling after inspection
shall be faulty. His advocacy is of
the smokeless type Of low pressure boil
or, wherein Is safety and also economy
in coal consumption.
