BURGLAR IS THOUGHT
TO BE SUPERSTITIOUS
Night Prowler Stops at Sl2 When He
Could Have Taken SIS; Other
Thefts.

That Salt Lake has superstitious
burglar among its criminal population
is the belief Of some members Of the
police department. The justification
for the theory is the fact that he per-
sistently refrains from taking money
in denominations Of thirteen, stopping q
short Of that number if he cannot find
enough coin in the house that he robs
to run the count well over it. In three
cases reported to the police yesterday,
all believed to have been the work Of
the same man, the theft amounted to
sl2 in each instance. The places bur
glarized were the residence of B. f..
Thomas, 33e Jeremy street; the room of
Mrs. IL. l.. Barnes in the Aztec hotel,
and the residence of F. T.. Barrett, 332
South Eighth West street.
Other thefts reported TO the police
Yesterday included the complaints Of
e. Wood, 215 South Main street. and
Fl. z. Staley, 662 South Main street,
that their overcoats were stolen from
automobiles in front Of the Odeon dane
ing hall, Wednesday night.

MANUFACTURERS FOR
USE OF UTAH MARBLE
Association Declares in Favor
of the Home Product in
Resolution.

Following an address by James G.. Nc
Allister, manager OF the Birdseye Marble
company. in which he declared that his
firm was capable OF furnishing botter
marble at the same price for the new
capitol than outside companies. the Man
ufacturers Association OF Utah adopted
resolution calling on the capitol com
mission to use the native stone. This
action was taken Last night at meet
Ing OF the association called primarily to
discuss the. new premium plan.
The marble resolution asked that the
commission use Utah marble for interior
decorations OF the new statehouse. even
though II costs more. declaring that this
Will be more than made up by the up
building OF an important new industry
In the state
Asserting that nearly ell the outside
companies, trying 10 secure the capitol
marble contract. are members Of the
marble trust and arc attempting to drive
the. Utah firm out of existence, MIR. Nc
Altster pleaded for square deal from
the capitol commission. He told OF the
efforts made by his company to secure
the contract and OF how each time the
capitol commission made excuses regard
Ing color He said that when their color
Qualifications wore satisfied they then
said they had not enough money.
This lack of money is poor excuse
for giving the contract TO an outside
company" asserted the speaker with
some warmth "If the capitol commits
sion wishes to give us a square deal they
should give Us or some other Utah stone
company the contract, as we can supply
the marble as cheaply as the outside
companies and we are willing TO give a
miliion-dollar bond that the stone Will be
delivered on time"
The work being done Mt the Utah Ag
ricultural college TO turn out graduates
who are practical men, fitted 10 do things
In the industrial world. was the subject
of an address given by Lon j. HaddoclS
of that school He said that now is the
time when dirty work and overalls are
the portion of the college graduates. He
declared that the colleges have been turn
Ing out too many lawyers. clergymen and
doctors, and not half enough men who
know how TO do things. He predicted
that Utah would some day have popu-
latIon OF 3.760. 900 persons and said it was
his belief that there is easily room for
that number.
The plan to boost the sale OF goods
manufactured by members of the asso-
citation through the use OF premium cou-
pons, was discussed and the work OF the
committee indorsed. A report was made
by the membership committee showing
that many new members have been add

WILL BE BIG TASK
City Auditor Asks Heads of Depart
Ments to Prepare Statements
Early,

To facilitate the immense amount of

city auditor, has decided TO ask all
heads of departments to prepare state
ments Immediately showing expendi-
lures for the year under each appro-
priation account, together with esti-
mates of the amounts needed under the
same accounts for the ensuing year
With this data, Mr.. Shenrman will
compile a budget report covering the
needs Of the entire city government for
1914. He viii get this up in the form
of a volume, and will distribute the
books among the city commissioners for
convenient reference when the commits
sion sits as budget committee.
Last year the department heads were
not called upon to prepare their recon-
meudations concerning their depart
mental budgets until after the first OF
the year, and consequently a great deal
Of time was lost and the budget was
not completed until late in the spring.
The auditor plans to have the 1914
budget ready for consideration by the
first Of the year

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
ARE CHECKED BY RAIN
Fear Is Now Expressed That but Little
More Work Can Be Done This
Season.

Owing to the heavy rain Yesterday,
it was necessary to stop work on prac-
tically all public improvements under
way in the city. City officials fear that
the storm mar ks the end Of the fine fall
weather of the last few weeks, which
has made possible the completion of
many improvements. Should snow
storm follow the rain or frost follow
either it would be necessary to prohibit
the laying of any more concrete base
on the various street paving jobs and
would put an end to improvements for
the year.
Some slight damage was done by the
heavy rain yesterday, though nothing of
consequence was reported to the city
Many of the improvements
are now in such state as TO be able to
stand through the winter without seri-
Gus deterioration,
