poRTER ]. WHITE, presenting his own

DORTER j. WHITE, presenting his own
playlet called Scandal" is the lead
Ing attraction at the Empress theater this
week. Fills offering excels the usual vaude-
VILE playlet SO far as TO be in a class by
itself. The idea Is decidedly original, the
plot bristles with action, the situations
are intensely clever and the presenta ton is
finished to high degree.
Mr.. White plays the leading role. He
is the outcast playwright, the victim of
drink: who comes back from long oblivion
TO discover that play he wrote but never
submitted has been stolen by the hus-
band of his former sweetheart. How he
takes his revenge is the theme The piece
threatens tragedy for a while, but con-
cludes with a. bit OF exquisite comedy. John
ing playwright; Adelaide Fairchild. as the
woman in the case, and Harry Stephens,
as the first nighter, are all admirably
fitted to tine parts.
Emma Francis, with her three little Ara
bian boys in an Oriental dancing and aero
battle spectacle, offers something both nov
el and entertaining. The little brown
Miss Francis herself charms with her
dancing and her brilliant costumes.
Fred Pisano and Katherine Bingham
have good line Of comedy of the Irish
Italian mixture Both have excellent
Jessie Morris charms with her good
looks and her daring gowns, while her
partner, Jack Beasey, fills in the act with
a bunch of p1easantries better than most
OF their kind. Miss Norris sings accepta-
bly, and on the whole manages to leave
the stage with the audience clamoring
for more.
The Booth trio. cyclists, have all the
ordinary tricks of their trade and some
extraordinary ones In stock One member
OF the trio is a real comedian as well as
a clever manipulation OF the bicycle

Valuable Land Involved.

The proposed bill, 1t is asserted,
would virtually confiscate such loca
tions made in good faith on mineral
land, within the school grant already
surveyed, such land being thereby
turned over to the state. It is pointed
out that within such districts as Park
City, Tintic, Bingham, and other sec,
there are a vast number OF claims 10.
Gated on school sections, many OF
which are not patented, and these
would be affected by the law.
These owners are not as rule able
to proceed to patent, either because of
the lack of the necessary money, or
because Of the revolutionary ruling of
late on the part of the department of
the interior which have discouraged all
attempts to proceed to patent But
these mining claim owners hold their
~, title under the existing law. by which
they are guaranteed possession as long
as they fulfill all the legal obligations
In decision handed down July 81,
1913. by the local land office, in the
case of the State of Utah VS.. Phillip
Morgan, this principle was emphasized
again when the state protested the pat
enting Of claims in Summit county. The
United States land office found that
while the claims were located upon
scpool lanus- tney were excepted from
the grant to the state on account of
the same being mineral bearing.
State Is Not Loser.
School lands have been found eener-
ously provided with minerals in the
past, as on innumerable occasions the
development Of some Of the greatest
producers of the west has been upon
such land, and while under the exist.
ing law the state loses this land, it is
given in lieu thereof equally as much
land elsewhere by the government.
The wording Of the bill rs far as the
laymap is concerned is poor, and law.
yers assert that such bill should be
expressed in terms about which there
can be no question. If the Joker in
this proposed law is to take away legiti-
mate and vested interests, while posing
as benefit TO the state, everyone wifi
agree that il should be eliminated. Some
believe it is an attempt to benefit the
states at the expense Of the property
interests Of citizens,
1t is likely that the Salt Lake Com
merclal club will take this matter M
and have eliminated any possibility of
a confiscation of unpatented mining
claims throughout this state and all the
west.
