Pictures of Roosevelt.

Thc members OF the Utah delecs-
ton Ia Washington also did eycrv-
thing In their power to make my stay
pleasant. and they succeeded admir-
ao!y. In fact. my visit to the ma
oonal capital was one OF the most
pleasant events OF my life. and will
always be grateful To the people OF
inis state Tor permitting me To make
the trip
There waS one thing al, the White
house that struck me forcibly. In
view OF the hsht made upon Presi-
Dent TAFT by former President
Roosevelt Il would naturally be sup
posed that President Taft would
treasure some resentment But. II
so. there IL nothing TO Indicate IL.
For example. | saw pictures OF
Colonel Roosevelt "a nearly every
room that entered in the White
mousse and was not little astonished
when / observed large picture OF

EDWARD BOYD
NOT FUGITIVE
Man Who Escaped From Ogden
Hospital Gave Name Of Boun-
tiful Citizen.

Because ne assumed the name Of n
man he had known IN Plain City, a pa
tiept who recently broke quarantine by
escaping from the Ogden detention hos.
pitsl has done Edward BOYD Of Boupti-
tUl n serious injustice and caused tho
Ogden health authorities no small
amount of trouble The Ogden authori-
ties are still searching for The escaped
hospital patient, but they have discov-
cred that his name js not Edward BOYD,
~ he gave IL when placed under quar-
autine and as it now appears ON the
local records.
Edward Boyd, who il nj employee of
James Stewart & Co.. naturally protests
against the accusation that he escaped
from the hospital here and had also
stolen s3 from the nurse.
Before learning that the patient g
name was not Edward Boyd, Inspector
Shorten OF Ogden made Inquiry at
ilv had removed to Bouutiful. 4 few
days ago he went to tho Davis county
town, located the family and learned
that Mr.. Boyd was working in Salt
Lake. He continued his search, iuquir-
ing among the Salt Lake plumbing
firms for Boyd but was unable TO To-
cate his prospective prisoner. Hester-
day the real BOYD notified him that
he had never been n patient al the
Ogden detention hospital.
Inspector Shorten has discovered that
the supposed Boyd informed other pa
,tients at tho hospital that Boyd was
not his real name but he neglected to
explain further. With two charges nj
ready against him, third can be
placed against tho impostor If he is
arrested.

In his address on the family side OF
Masonry the Rev. Mr. Simpkiu explained
that while from time immen1orial only
men had been Masons. vet the family Is
the direct benclactor. Masonry. he point
ed out, is simply doing for mon that
which women need in less measure than
do men and care is given TO ali things
that affect good womanhoo0 The Ideal
for women for which Masonry stands ne
said, Is the old fashioned one.
The most touching part OF the cele-
bratlon came just after the banquet
which was served In the basement OF the
temple, II was when the officers had
distributed flowers among the ladies pres

than forty years. Mir D!ehl at the time
