it would demand the attention OF the
college. When Holmstead entered he
had already an enyiable reputation
gained on the champion Lehi team.
At the same time, Ed Horsfall. for
mer L. u. S. star, entered school.
Then there was Irwin Erickson and
the two Romneys. Basketball had
not been much at the Salt Lake high
school. SO at that time the prowess
of the Romneys had not been devel-
oped. These men. however, formed
the nucleus of what has since devel-
oped into the best team the state
ever had. During the four years
Happy has played forward and guard
both and his consistent work has
gained him the reputation of being
the best all around man in the state.
He was captain three years ago. He
will graduate this year and will
probably coach his old high school
next winter. :.

What the writer would like to know
is why the Bombardier Is so per-

To bark back a little. This fell

Will Disperse After Game With Colorado

just closing the most successful year
varsity quintette ever spent. and
as only one of the regular men will
be in the game next year. there Is no
lack OF material for these cosy chats.
First, there is the lamentation that
So-and-So will not be back In the

tion as to who will fill his place.
Thus 1t is that the principal topic
OF discussion among the athletic peo-
pie Of the university is the passing
of the first championship basketball
team.

TN the meantime. one Jesse Will
lard. who had outpointed Luther
Mccarty In an eastern short
bout. began TO inquire why Luther
should be looked upon as the king
pin OF American heavles
"Why don't you box Jess Willard
for the championship next Fourth
OF July?'' Billy Mccarney was
asked.
Well. It does not matter much
what Billy said. The one thing APP
parent was that there was a desire
to sidetrack Willard In favor of the
Bombardier. Something was sprung
about the Wells MoCarty prospects
having an international flavor and
II was argued that there was nothing
TO prevent Willard hooking ZIP with
the winner later along In the year.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-03-02

TN Justifying his position. he said
recently:
ANY sane person knows IL Is
better to take $4,000 for a ten-round
bout than for a twenty round affair.
particularly II there Is no decision
rendered, II McCarty should be out
pointed ] VIII agree to meet him In
a twenty-round bout In California on
a winner take-ali basis. and bet him
$4,000 on the side. II Mccarty de-

from him I Will go out on the road
and challenge McCarty in every big
city In which ne shows. 1 take this
means OF proving TO the American
public that / really mean busi-
ness"
This line OF talk is no better and
no worse than the ordinary gun
that enlanates drom ringmen who
are as rule more hoastful than bel
ligerent. In proposing TO fight q real
championship battle later the Bonn
harder Is putting the cart before the
horse. We should have the refereed
battle first and the no-decision affair
afterward.
AS TO claiming Mccarry's title, the
Bombardier had better walt until Nc

The Floods

Such widespread and appalling ha-
voc to property and life as has been
wrought by the floods of the past
two weeks seldom has been recorded.
The Federal authorities are doing
everything in their power to grant re-
lief and the State authorities of Ohio
and other States afflicted are rushing
Succor and relief as fast as possible.
The Government has given much
study TO the prevention of floods, but
it would seem that there is much yet
to be learned. and still more of what
is already known to be applied. Sys-
tematic Improvement of waterways
and general protection of watersheds
will do great deal TO mitigate such
terrible disasters rs those of the past
ten days or two weeks. When read

Income Tax

Just what Congress will do with
respect TO the income tax Is some
thing everyone is irving 10 ascertain.
II has been suggested that n flat tax
of ! per cent, or possibly , per cent,
be- levied on all incomes IN excess of
2 certain amount. 1t has been sug
gested that the income tax be grad
uated from ! per cent 10 . or 10 or
even 30 per cent. II has been sug-
geSted that the incomes under $500
year be exempt. Others would
make the limit $4,000 or $1,000.
Some of the members of the Ways
and Means Committee want the flat
tax and others want graduated tax.
Many have favored taxing incomes
over $4,000 on the basis of per cen,
for all in excess of this sum. \ Con
gresham or other citizen, therefore,
with n salary of $500 would pay
per cent on $500, or S35 year: al
> per cent he would pay so 4 year
The Ways and Means Committee
has been figuring on this problem
with the aid Of experts who have
been computing the amount of income
the National treasury will receive
from the tariff, A. proposed in the
new schedules. When the prope!
amount Of income has been deter.
mined the committee will decide %,
what form the income tax feature
will he modelled. II Is understood
that the income tax will be made I,
hiring in whatever sum the tariff, tn,
corporation tax. and the interna
revenue tax fail to provide.

CRESCENT THEATRE.

Alexandra Bisson, the noted French
author, has given to the stage of to-
day a play which shall live as long as
the English tongue is spoken. Ma
dame Y" is written around that great
est of all human motives, mother-love.
and for this reason this beautiful play
has swept the playgoing world, break
ing records in every city for the
amount of business done and for the
length of its runs. The theme of the
play is powerful, mastery and every
moment of its action deeply interest
ing, yet withal there is certain
amount of humor in il that sparkles
like the rarest gems; and all so clev-
erly interviewer that Madame X' has
won the enthusiastic endorsement of
the press, pulpit and public every
where. The company is booked for
weeks engageemnt at the Crescent
Theatre commencing next Sunday
night, February 9th.
The herald., 1913-02-06

many cities where this sort of play is
the vogue and it is selected because
attractions of this type seem in spe-
cial manner to be favored by the pa
irons.
1t deals with strongly laid plot in
which villain of the deepest type is
pictured trying to work the ruin and
destruction of a. poor innocent girl.
He and his accomplices almost sue
coed IN their perfidy, but they are foil
ed because of the triumph of virture
and honor. The girl comes out of
rags and poverty to the riches that
were hers by right, but were being cut
OFF by the mean villains.
The author has worked up startling
climaXes for each act and the audience
is kept wondering what will be the
next development. All the scenes are
sensational and realistic. The entire
company will be we'll cast. Several
entertaining specialties will be used
AS was predicted by the manage
ment last week, The Devil has at.
tracted considerable notice and the
attendance has been excellent all the
week. 1t is play with a purpose and
1t teaches, perhaps in a rather bold
way, moral that if needed will work
out well for those who witness the
production.
The devil is pictured in the produc-
tion by DR.. Miller, who is a veritable
demon in human form. None have
failed at one time or another to hear
the call of the tempter, and it is all
the more reason why those who see
The Devil will recognize in DIR. Mill
er the arch fiend who constantly urges
that the wrong course be taken.
Lent with its thoughts of the higher
life is good time in which to see
The Devil" because the presentation
emphasizes as strongly as any sermon
the need for reformation in human
life, so that the still voice of the evil
one may be hushed and the path of
followed.
Edouard D'Oize. New Orleans ac.
tor, is playing The Devil" in a thor
oughly realistic manner.
He is being admirably supported by
the Peruchi-Gypzene Stock Company
Mabel Gypzene and Stewart E. Wilson
are singing a catchy melody using the
titles of more than twenty songs in an
effective manner. They always re-
ceive many encores. The usual matt
nees are given this week.

TRAIL OF THE LONESOME pJNEv
TO RETURN.

Commencing Sunday night, Febru.
ary 10th, at the Crescent Theatre,
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" will
play a return engagement, made possi-
BILE by the tremendous success of the
pie e when shown at the Tulane some
weeks ago. Eugene Walters drama.
tizatio1 is one that warns the blood
and stirs the emotion. It is a story
of the Virginia hills, with just a requi.
site tinge of the feudal spirit to give
1t bubbling color. In the part of June,
the primitive, sweet, wild mountain
girl, Mss Isabelle Lowe, will make a
direct appeal to all those who have
already met June in Mr.. Foxs original
story. The play is given a beautiful
production and its long runs at the
Boston Theatre and the New Amster-
dam Theatre, New York, were marked
by the largest receipts of late years.
One of the most capable casts ever
seen at the Crescent Theatre will por-
tray the characters in The Trail of
the Lonesome Fine" during the com.
ing engagement.

THE ALEXANDRIA DANCE.

The ending of Algiers society sea-
son occurred last Wednesday night at
Pythian Hall, when the Alhambra
Gymnastic Club made their debut into
society. 1t was about 8 o'clock before
the guests began to arrive and the first
arrivals were the forerunners as to
what could be expected throughout in
so far as dress and character of the
people was concerned. That the best
people in the town were represented at
the dance was the general opinion, and
this was represented by ninety-three
couples who filled Pythian Hall Just
comfortably.
The dresses worn by the young Ia
dies were of the latest styles and GER
tainly in keeping with this old city.
where they believe in wearing the
best Of clothes. Even the young men
looked well in their limited black suit
OF clothes. Tuxedo coats were not
uncommon and the general opinion in
the ballroom was one that would sug.
gest everything Of society event.
Mars Orchestra rendered the music
and while the thirty-second dance was
never reached, the gay merrymakers
did not depart for their homes until
nearly 8 o'clock. Delightful refresh
ments were served in the supper room
and at the Alhambra Club rooms there
was also open house for the members
and their guests, where dainty sand
wiches were served and hot soup to.
gether with other light refreshments.
Many requests have been made to the
club that they soon announce anoth-
er society function of the kind.

Sunday night, February 9th. First, of
course, there is Nine. Cascadier, be-
lever in the equality of the sexes,
lawyer and a woman whose energy of
character keeps everybody about her
on the jump. Then there are the two
daughters, Renee and Camille, the for
mer an artist and the latter a physi-
clan. Both are sprightly, winsome
damsels who do much to aid their
mother in her methods of keeping
things lively. Such attractive girls as
these are, of course, are besieged by
suitors. Camille decides that an Eng
lishmar, Dicky Rutherford, is the man
for her, and Renee succumbs to the
graceful wooing Of Justin Pontgirard.
Diverse difficulties at first interfere
with the happiness of these lovers,
and even after Renee is married, her
militant mother continues to display
her forceful character and endeavors
to make Renee divorce the new son-in-
law, but Renee won't divorce her JUS
won't-and so that is the
end of the difficulty. And eventually,
all the other troubles are likewise
brought to satisfactory conclusions;
delightful among the songs
Of this Berlin operetta are 'Is the Girl
You Married Still the Girl You Lover"
Goodbye Everybody" Rita, My Mar
