LONE MAN HOLDS UP
DEPOT RESTAURANT
Negro Wearing Mask and Armed With
Revolver Takes S45 From Cafe
Register.

Without so much as spoken word.
lone negro, armed with revolver
and wearing q mask fashioned from a
pocket handk erchief, held up the Ore
eon Short Line cafe and took S45 from
the cash register at 1850 O'Clock yes
terday morning.
Miss Minnie Woodward, waitress, re.
turned from the kitchen to the dining
room with pitcher of hot water TO
pour in the coffee urn. The negro was
standing at the end Of the counter,
with revolver pointed at her as she
entered. No one else was in the room.
The young woman lodged back A
second later she heard the man at the
cash register as she told the cook what
had happened. The cook looked
through the door in time to see the
robber going out the opposite one.
The negro ran out the west entrance
of the depot nearest the cafe and,
crossing the yards, was seen making
his way to The negro district near
Fifth West and Second South streets.
Within fifteen minutes, a dozen police.
men were in the neighborhood, and
searched all the negro quarters, but
without success, From the descrip-
tion furnished by the girl and the cook,
the police believe that the robber is a
man known to members of the depart
ment and that he cannot remain in the
city without falling into the hands of
some policeman who knows him.

DETECTIVE FOILED
BY HIS CAPTIVE
Alleged Pickpocket Sheds overcoat and
Dodges Successfully Through
Main Street Crowd.

Two years ago the "Goldtooth
Kid escaped from Detective W. G..
Zeese in the open street while being
taken to police headquarters, 1t was
with satisfaction that the sleuth
dropped his hand upon the soulder Of
the 81 Kid" at Second South and Main
streets yesterday morning, The detec-
tive led the alleged pickpocket to the
nearest alarm box and proceeded to
turn in a wagon call,
Then the clever crook showed not
only his gold tooth, but his natural
ones in fighting snarl, while almost
with one quick movement he peeled
out of his overcoat on which the clutch
Of the detective was fastened and cast
the coat blanket-hke over the head of
the officer
A chase up Main street followed.
The "Kid'' made better speed through
the crowd than the detective could, be-
cause of considerable difference in
avordupois. Blowing hard, the detec-
tive requisitioned private automobile
and followed the fleeing man to First
South street, west to Richards street
and through Richards street to South
Temple street. There the trace was
lost. Detective Zeese went back to
headquarters grimly determined to
wait for the proverbial third time.

.ENDEAVOR|NC TO AID
C|TY'S UNEMPLOYED
Salt Lake Charity Association
Opens Bureau and Will
Render Assistance.

There are 5000 unemployed men in Salt
Lake at the present time, according to the
estimate OF Captain M, NJ. Woods OF the
Salt Lake Charity association. Captain
Woods has opened registration depart
ment in his office, 225 ID, F. Walker
building, and will endeavor to find en-
nloyment for all family men who arc In
need OF work,
"At the present time we must coDfine
our work 10 helping men who have fam
lies" said Captain Woods last night.
I've have on record many cases OF men
whose families are distressed because the
fathers cannot find work We hope to
create a public sentiment that Will rush
the beginning OF spring building opera
tions and such work so that the unem-
ployed can be put to work.
Captain Woods said he was In close
touch with most OF the principal cities
Of the United States through CORE
spondence, and expressed the belief that
in the matter of unemployed men Salt
Lake was In far better condition than
almost any other city. Nevertheless.
Captain Woods and the association are
anxious to eliminate all such cases pos
sible.
Captain Woods has established tho
bours of II a. m, to ] p. m. for his regis
tration bureau and asks that all appli-
cants for work call during that time.
At present registrations will be confined
to men with families to support.

Saloon Proprietor Issues a
Statement Which Sets
Rumors at Rest.

Chief Grant did not threaten that II I
did not discharge my bartender my IL
cense would be taken away" said y. NJ.
Wilson, proprietor Of the Court saloon at
Fourth South and State streets. when he
appeared at headquarters last night
Mr.. Wilson and L. Hollenbeck. the bar
tender In question. called at headquarters
TO adjust a difference between the bar
tender and Detectives Moroni Gillespie
and n. ID. Lyon, which arose when llol-
lenbeck did not take kindly to Il warn.
Ing delivered by the detectives several
days ago that rumors Of gambling in tho
saloon had reached them and that prose-
cution would surely result II the rumors
could be proved true.
Hollcnbeck last night frankly admit

too hasty in rcsentlng the warning. Eie

CHILD CANDIDATE FOR
STATE SCHOOL HEAD
Movement Started to Fuse
Democrats and Progressives
on Superintendency.

George ". Child, supervisor OF the
grammar grades of the Salt Lake City
schools, will, In all probability. be the
Democratic nominee for the position o.
state superintendent OF public instruction.
Mr.. Child Is not candidate LOT the place
but many Democrats regard him as theiI
most available man for the place and Will
probably Insist that he accept the nom-
nation.
Overtures have already been made to
the leaders Of the Progressive party sug-
gesting that the Progressiyes indorse the
nomination OF Mr, Child in the event that
he is placed on the Democratic ticket
The Progressiyes, It appears, have no par
ticular candidate In mind and may decide
10 agree TO such an arrangement,
Mr. Child is Democrat and az the
time of his appointment to the Salt Lake
schools was superintendent of the schools
Of Utah county. a position to which he
had been elected by a large majority.
The Endorsement OF Mr. Child's candi-
dacy by the Progressives would be In line
with a deal that is now being much dis
cussed by the leaders of the Democratic
and Progressive parties, whereby the
Democrats and ProgreSsiVes would divide
the nominations on the state ticket, Ac-
cordinE 10 this fusion arrangement the
Democrats would be given the nominees
for United States senator, superintendent
OF public Instruction. and congressman
from the First district, known as the out
side district while the Progressives would
be given the nominees for Justice OF the
supreme court and congressman from dis
trict No, ., the Salt Lake district. There
is some talk of carrying the fusion Idea
down through the county ticket. though
this plan is meeting with opposition.
The candidate of the Republicans for
state superintendent OF public instruction
Will proba bly, be A. c. Matheson. the pres
ent superintendent, who has been filing
the place under appointment OF Governor
William Spry since the death of A. g.
Nelson. AT the time Matheson was
named, 1t was suggested that Mr.. Child
be ne med for the place. However, it was
thought best TO appoint Matheson, who
was then the assistant superintendent.
Mr.. Child and Mr.. Matheson are close
friends. and bota are widely known
throughout the state. a contest between
the two would doubtless prove inter-

SUIT FILED AGAINST
A. A. CLARK COMPANY
Three Creditors Ask to Have the Cor.
poratlon Declared an Involuntary
Bankrupt.

Proceedings to have the A. A. Clark
company OF this city declared an in
voluntary bankrupt were instituted in
the federal court yesterday with the
fllng of n suit by three creditors of
the concern. The plaintiffs in the ac-
tion, who are said to really represent
al OF those to whom the company is
alleged to owe money, are the Salt
Lake Hardware company, the Culmer
company and the Granite Planning Mill
company, the three being creditors to
the extent of $4,000
The petition in the case alleges that
the construction company owes Utah
creditors more than $4,000 in addi-
tlon to an amount to the MERCHANTS
bank. The latter sum it is said aggre-
gated 100000 four months ago
The indebtedness to the bank forms
the basis for one of the allegations of
the petition. 1t is averred that Mr..
Clark formed corporation in Wyom-
ing, to which was transferred all of
the property owned by the Utah com.
pany, the latter being given 37S
shares of preferred Wyoming company
stock for the property, This stock,
it is said, had no voting power in the
Wyoming company, all of the common
stock, in which the control Law. be-
longing to Mr. Clark or his EMPLOYEES.
1t also is set forth that Mr.. Clark
then turned over the preferred stock Of
the Utah corporation to the bank as
security for the $4,000 said to be ow.
ing to the institution. All of this, the
petition alleoes, was done for the pur-
pose of putting the assets of the Utah
company beyond the reach of the Utah
creditors. tt is also said that during
the past few months Mr.. Clark has re.
duced the alleged Merchants bank in
debtedness by cash payments of
100000.

WOMAN MUST FACE
TRIAL FOR MURDER
Marie Arthur Is Removed
From County Hospital to
County Jail.

Marie Arthur was taken from the coun-
ty hospital to the county Jail yesterday.
just one month and three days after She
made O. futile attempt to end her own life,
after shooting to death Frank Jones in n
room OF the Touraine hotel on East Third
South street. She must face trial for
murder.
The wound which the young woman in
was of so serious a nature that 1t was
not believed she could possibly live, She
was taken to the emergency hospital at
police headquarters and afterward to St.
Marks hospital. An operation OF four
hours duration was performed by DR.,
Hardic Lynch. Though the path OF the
bullet WAS traced through stomach. llyer
and intestines, II was never found. Tho
punctureS of the various organs were
what occupied the attention OF the sur
geon. Though the wound in the liver
was slight, the bleeding from IL was so
great that little hope of recovery was
held after the operation was completed.
The. patient. however, began to mend
Immediately. A week ago she had re-
covered 10 such an extent that She was
removed to the county hospital Yester-
day her condition was such that IL was
considered no longer necessary for her
TO remain In the hospital In the mean
der had been issued by the county at
torneS. and she was taken to the county
jail Shortly after the killing OF Jones.
the Arthur woman said that the act was
prompted by jealousy, At the time Of the
operation. an hour after she had attempt
ed her own life, she said that she wanted
to live and requested the operating sur
eeon TO do all he could to save her. AS
result, she is now in comparat lively per-
feet health. though she still carries In her
body the bullet which she had intended
should pierce her heart.
