lodge of Elks deferred action on the
proposals to exchange the clubhouse of
tho Salt Lake Elks for the building OF
tho Young Men 8 Christian association.
The meeting was attended by more than
300 members Of the local lodge. The
discussion was relative to the future pol
icy and expansion of the lodge, and a
great deal Of interest was aroused.
The question was finally submitted to
d committee OF fifteen to be named by
Exalted Ruler e. w. Kelly. This COM
mittee will investigate and report on
the feasibility Of the proposed exchange
and on the best method OF financing the
project in the event the exchange IS
recommended.
Negotiations between the Y. NJ, G. A..
and the Elks club for an exchange OF
property have been under way for about
year and the Elks club has an option
op the Y. NJ. &. A. building for $780,.

Elks clubhouse at $4,000. leaving a
balance of $4,000 to be paid by the
Elks for the association building. The
directors of the Y. NJ, G.. A. have APP
board of trustees Of the Elks has recon-
mended its purchase.
Under the proposed plans if the deal
goes through the Elks will take posses
sion of the association building almost
Immediately after the lodge approves of
the purchase. Plans for remodeling the
building for the use Of the Elks involve
an expenditure of from 5000 to $780,

Those who favor the proposed ex.
change point to the fact that the mem
hership Of the lodge is fast increasing
and fast outgrowing its present quar-
ters They also consider that the con

THIRTEEN BOYS ARE
HOODOO ON APRIL ]
Officers at Police Headquarters Put tt
It to Assimilate Jokes of Young
sters under Arrest

Thirteen boys and the first Of April
proved unlucky at police headquarters
yesterday, unlucky for everyone but the
boys. They were taken to beadquar-
tefs on q charge of shooting at fire
alarm box at Fifth avenue and + street
with Il .22-calibcr rifle.
While the boys were being questioned
in the captains office, several things
ensued besides answers to the ques-
tions. One policeman was induced to
accept an offer of peppered candy.
Another lodged from a paper snake as
he examined what appeared to be a
flash lamp in the hand of one of the
boys. Finally tho captain endeavored
to give first aid to the injured in re-
tieing loosened bandage on a finger
of one of The boys. He looked foolish
when the bandage came off from the
boys finoer and adhered stickily to
his own, The boys were finally re-
leased and their ease investigated by
Juvenile Officer George Robinson.

REMOVAL OF REVENUE.

Reconstruction Of United States
Assay Office There.

The probable removal of the head
quarters of the internal revenue office
for the district composed of Utah, Ida

Helena was forecastcd last night by a
dispatch from Helena, stating that the

ton, to see if tne assay office building
could be remodeled to suit the needs OF
the internal revenue department.
The removal Of the office to Mon
tana has been feared for the past year
by Salt Lakers. The appointment of
w. c.. Whaley of Townsend, Mont. to
the position of internal revenue collec.
tor was taken as an indication that the
congressional delegation from that
state hoped to have the office removed
to Montana. The fact that Montana is
a Democratic state and the congress
sional delegation In congress close ad
visers of the present national admins
tration was doubtless contributing
cause of the probable removal,
On account of the increased business
of the internal revenue office with the
collection of the income tax, ii is be
lieved to be possible that the treasury
department may divide the district and
place Utah and Idaho in a new district
to be created, which would mean the
appointment of a collector for the new
district, with headquarters likely il

BOYS DEATH SADDE|NS
HOMES Of PLAYMATES
Richard Snow Fatally Injured
in Fall From Swing in
School Playground.

Richard Snow, years old, SON of
Ashby Snow, was fatally injured in q
fall from swing on the playground
at the Lafayette school shortly before
noon yesterday. Unconscious and
bleeding, he was carried to his home,
l5s North State street, by his fright
ened playmates. Later he was re-
gal attention, and died there at
CLOCK yesterday afternoon of fracture
of the right side of the skull.
The bow was loved by all who knew
him. A shadow fell upon every home
in the neighborhood with the spread
of the news of the accident. When
word of its fatal termination circu'
lated the grief was not confined To
the stricken household, and many a
little playmate knew the nature of a
heartache and more than one childish
pillow was dampened with tears last
night.
When the accident occurred, Richard
was III the swing with larger boy
who was standing up "pumping,' ac
cording to the story OF the other boys
on the playground. The larger boy wa:
stranger. AS the boys reached AT
arc that raised them about SIX feet
and was thrown, his head striking
against a concrete wall at the north
boundary of the playground. He was
rendered unconscious and only groaned
when water was dashed into his face
by his playmates.
Boyd Snyder. Chester Keate, Joseph
Willes, Clifford Keate and Douglas
West, all boys of the neighborhood
saw the accident, and said that they
did not know the boy who was in the
swing with Richard. The parents OF
the unfortunate boy were bowed in
grief with the calamity that had be
assumed the direction of affairs as fa1
as possible. Two grown brothers and
sisters of Richard are in New York at
school. They are Herbert, Erastus and
Evelyn. Arrangements for the funeral
will not be completed until it can be
definitely determined when they can
get here.

CITY FIREMEN HAVE.
"APRIL FOOL" FUN
Coins That Cannot Be Picked Up At
tract Those Who Pass by
Station.

Delicately manicurcd finger nails
suffered when their possessors, passing
in trout of IRE headquarters yester
day, forgot that the date was April l..
Several nickels cleaned on the wooden
drivewnys. They were soldered to the
heads of nails driven into the wooden
blocks Persons Of varied walks in
life tried to pick them up, and hand
somely dressed women predominated.
Without an exception, the person who
discovered that the coin had roots took
the joke IN good part.
One man, a laborer, determined to re-
verse the English of the joke, and aft
or failing to pick up the nickel, re-
turned with a hammer and chisel. He
met smiling opposition from the fire
men and the nickel remained shining
invitation to the unwary to come on
and be April fooled in harmless fash
ion. 1t was estimated last night that
several hundred persons had attempted
TO pick up one of the nickels before
realizing just why the bystanders were
grinDing.
