MRS. SING TAKEN TO HUSBANDS
BODY-IS HYSTERlCAL

A dramatic scene occurred in Shell
don's morgue today when Mrs. Alice
David Sing, the white girl widow of
Charles Sing, who was murdered last
week, was shown the body of her
husband, whom she had refused to
believe was dead.
The sheet was thrown from the
mans face. With a eonvulsive cry
the girl leaped forward and threw
herself on the body, kissing the cold
lips of the dead Celestial.
Captain Barney Baer stepped for
ward and shook her roughly. "Come,
come" he commanded, "who killed
this man? You know" So.
81 don't, l don't, l swear 1 DON'T"
the girl shrieked and she threw her
self to the floor where she lay moan
ing, hopelessly, until they led her
away.
Even the mysterious murder of
Charles Sing, the wealthy Chinaman,
has been overshadowed by the reve-
lations made in the "Black Book"
found in George Norn's abandoned
apartments at 511 NJ Clark st.

City Has Prospered.

The principal reason for Salt Lake
having pra Ctically no unemployed problem.
said Mr. Mccarthy, while California cities
are burdencd with thousands OF men out
OF work, is because this city has enjoyed
rea soma ble rates and the jobbers nave
been enabled to increase their territories
and add to their business. He says that
there would be little objection II the
railroads had decided upon an increase in
other states, but that II is unfair 10 place
the burden upon Utah and Idaho. In
discussing the matter yesterday he said
Two years ago on November 10,
1911. class rates were reduced Ii per
cent and commodity rates 30 per cent.
Under these reasonable rates Salt
Lake and other Utah and Idaho cities
have prospered When new men were
Iired by the jobbers because Of in
creased business they traded at local
stores and patronized local doctors
The result has been more money In
everybody's pocket including the
worlkingmen. who without this would
have probably been roaming the
streets in search OF employment as
they are in Los Angeles today.

HANDLING OF LOCAL
MAIL IS EFFICIENT
Salt Lake Postoffice Takes Care of
Largest Business in It's His
tory.

The growth OF the Salt Lake postoffice,
according 10 Postmaster Arthur L.
Thomas. is indicated by the fact that the
number OF special delivery packages FOR
the quarter ending December 81 Will go
well over the 10000 mark. This WILL es-
tablish a record for the office, as no pre-
vious quarter has exceeded 5000. Other
figures on the quarter will not be avail
able until after January l.
Mr.. Thomas says that many persons
used special delivery stamps on Christ
mns parcel post packages and thus In
sured their immediate delivery, as spe-
cial delivery stamped articles take prece-
dence over everything else.
Unlike the old days. when the express
companies had most OF the Christina !
business and packages were so congest-
ed that they remained IN the Offices for
perhaps two weeks after Christmas, the
holiday rush was well attended to this
year owing TO the parcel post. The ex-
press companies had fewer packages and
as a result better service. Every bin in
the local postofhce was cleared yester-
day OF holiday mail and parcels.

j. A. Reeves general freight agent for
the Oregon Short Line railroad, holds an
entirely different View on the matter
Mr.. Reeves said: while it is true that
the proposed rates are little higher tina n
at present. hardly think the average IN
crease will be as much as 10 per cent.
Instead OF being q hindrance TO manu-
facturers and Jobbers of Utah and Idaho
II should be A benefit inasmuch as the

concerned there is absolutely no ground

NOTHING WRONG WITH
COLD STORAGE EGGS
Sometimes Are Superior to
"Strictly" Fresh Variety,
Says Commissioner.

cold storage is a blessing for tae
country and most of the agitation against
cold storage is foolish declared Willard
Hansen. state dairy and food commits
sioner yesterday in discussing the recent
outcry against cold storage food prod
ucts.
Mr. Hansen says that while the laws Of
Utah prohibit A merchant from selling
cold storage articles as strictly fresh,
on the ground of misrepresentation, many
times such food Is superior TO the un-
| stored product
The great benefit Of cold storage, ac-
cording TO the food commissioner is the
fact that eggs. butter, cheese and other
foods. SO plentiful in the summer months
that the supply exceeds the demand can
be put into storage and kept in such
good condition that there is plenty for
the winter when the supply is scarce and
the demand great
You can place good eggs in cold stor-
age" said Mr Hansen, "let them stay
six months and II they were fresh when
put away II is impossible TO tell them
| from eggs fresh from tho farm and many
times they are better tIan fresh eggs. es-
| peclaly II the latter have been kept be =

decision made by the secretary. il af
fects all petitions OF like character and
no matter how much the value of coal
land is increased from now on by re-
classification. applicants can obtain 1t
at the price which prevailed at the time
of application. During the past three
years the opposite course has been
taken Register Thompson is even of
the opinion that applicants who have
been forced to pay extra for coal lands
may have opportunity to secure re.
funds
BY the decision in the Rosser case.
Rosser receives $4,000 back from the
land department, or the difference be-
tween $4000-the price he was TO have
paid for the land-and $24 900, which

POISONER PARDONED
FROM PRISON DIES
Mary Jane Smith, Who Was Released
on Thanksgiving Day, Dies at
County Hospital.

Mary Jane Smith, a negress, who was
pardoned from the state prison on
Thanksgiving day, died at the county
hospital yesterday, of dropsy, from
which she had suffered for several
years. She was serving a sentence,
imposed for the murder by poison Of
Daniel Ryan in 1903, at the time Of
the granting of the pardon.
The woman was sentenced April 6,
1908, TO serve twenty years. She
pleaded TO second-degree murder, with
the understanding that the court would
be asked to be lenient. thus saving the
state the expense of trial She
would have been released next Feb
ruary had she served her entire SEN
tcnce, with allowance for good be
hayior, but because OF her poor health
the board of pardons took occasion TO
release her, that she might not die in
prison.
No relatives Of the woman are
known here. She will probably be
buried in Mt. Olivet cemetery, from
the fact that q fund of s25.73 remains
in her name. Part of this she accu-
mulated from work she had done in
the prison and the remainder repre-.
sents the customary amount given
prisoners by the state when they are
released. Funeral services Will be con.

the Calvary Baptist church, either

For Home Industry.

Now that these rates have expired.
the railroads intend to increase COM
modify rates. 1 understand about 10
per cent. This Will mean business for
the eastern iobbers. but what benefit
Will IT be to Salt Lake II a st. Louis
or Chicago firm adds to it's business?
I, for one, would rather see the mon
ey spent here In Utah than have II
go TO Wall street or be spent by the
Hartman family IN Europe
About the only reason given by the
railroads for the increase Is that the
earnings are not increasing in pro-
portion to the cost OF living and the
increase In wages. Now, press re-
ports in eastern financial papers show
that October was the most prosperous
month the Union Pacific system ever
had and that its increase in gross
earnings totaled s66i. 900 WITH a net
increase earning OF S3I 1000. The new
earning figures would indicate that
the road is far from losing money.

~HARLEs LIE MARS, known
A throughout great part of the
Y United States as the "Smile-
less Man., and who or
dinarily depended for his living on his
elegance Of manner, confessed to Inspec-
tor of Police Carl a. Carlson last night
that he turned highwayman for the
price of Christmas dinner.
That he failed TO get the price of the
meal for himself and his sweetheart,
Marion Smith, but that it was later
advanced to him by friend, is q state
ment included in the sworn confession
of lie Mars.
The specific crime to which lie Mars

on the night of December "a. He de.
nies that he secured anything from the
cash register which he opened, saving
that he was frightened away without
the money when a little girl ran out

Came With Circus.
LIE Mars came to Utah last summer
with a circus, according to his story
and that of the girl for whom he was
willing to turn robber. Both said that
they had been travelling with the same
show, LIE Mars as the "Smileless Man y
in side show, and the girl as mem
ber Of a ballet.
According to her story, she left the
show in Wyoming and came to Salt
Lake upon hearing from LIE Mars that
she could probably get employment here
as n dancer In theater, lie Mars hav-
ing left the circus at Ogden. Arriv-
ing here she obtained a position as a
dancer at the Majestic theater and re-
mained there until several weeks ago.
when she contracted such a cold that
her voice failed and on the advice Of
a physician she rested from her work
in the hope Of recovering her health.
Le Mars secured work with various
firms in Salt Lake as demonstrator,
making use of his powers as freak on
being able TO resist any smile provok-
/ ing test that might be applied by Gus
toners. He dressed like society dandy
and acted the part whenever exhibiting
or demonstrating.
The confession Of lie Mars was col
Iaborated last night by a statement
made by the girl. In her statement,
however, she tells that lie Mars held up
man before going into the drug store
and got nothing from him. She ex-
plains that he told her beforehand
that ne would have 10 do something Of
the sort and that after il was over he
returned 10 her and said that the ven
ture had not been o Success and that il
was the first and last time he would
ATTEMPT any such thing.
lie Mars was arrested Friday by De
tectives ". &. Zeesc and Herbert LEIGH.
ter While the detectives expected that
they might get evidence against him for
