An official of the company, in apeaklng of the matter today, aald that thla waa merely the beginning of the move to eatab-lla- h the loop and that if the city council would grant thla franchlae, that the loop would undoubtedly be built aa to noon aa the line from Twenty-fift- h Thirtieth waa completed. After much comment in all clrclee and In the newspapers anent the now famuli Utah National bank robbery at alt Lake President W, 8. McCormick and the board of director yesterday gave out for publication the following signed statement: To the Public: in view of th many conflicting reports which hav been placed la circulation concerning the theft of funds of the Utah National bank and the Insinuations baaed upon gossip and rumor, mads and circulated in the community, w make the following as aa aocurata statement of facte: On January 14, 1908, it was discovered that th sum of 810(,Z50. In cash, had been feloniously taken from tlu vault of the bank. This discovery came at a time when the feeling of uneasiness and apprehension aa to the financial situation waa still prevalent throughout the country, and many still distrusted our strongest Institutions. The responsible officials of the bank realised that It would not only Serve no good purpose to make public the loss at that time, but such a course might precipitate widespread disaster. Accordingly, upon the advice of experts employed on the case, and by common consent, the facts wer kept from the public. Immediately, at the expense of the bank, th services of the Pinkerton detective agency was secured and they have ever since been and still arc in charge of the case. W. 8. McCornlck, president and owner of a majority of the capital stock of the bank, and Joseph Nelson, the cashier, also a heavy stockholder, realising that the Impairment of the capital must be remedied immediately, at once placed in the bank, by way of sum of th voluntary contribution, 888.250, in cash, Mr. MeCnrnlck furnishing 150,000 and Mr. Nelson 111,250. be The surplus of the bank, as aeen from Its published statements issued prior to the discovery of the theft wee In excess of 180,000. After the contribution made, ae above stated, the net lose of the bank waa 148,000, and thin loss, it will be observed, in no w-l- MUSICAL FESTIVAL IS SUGGESTED .

Tabernacle 2266 FOR OGDEN Has Ogden aspirations along must cal lines T Does it want to become known ae the musical center of Utah? If It does, would. It not be fitting to Uke hold and make it such? The foregoing thoughts are called forth by reason of the following letter, addressed to Manager Ross of the Ogden choir by Joseph Chei. Mr. Chea, it will be noted, suggests the formation of a musical featlval association, the alms of which would be to bring to Ogden to act. In conjunction with the choir the best obtainable musical talent. While it would be a business venture in a certain sense, yet looking at Its artistic aide, It would be impossible to compute the value of the ensuing good, Ogden la rightfully entitled to full meet of praise for ita many and varied resources and different lines of high artlatlc talent developed and matured. The creation of the festival suggested by Mr. Chea would be a boon to the bud and the matured blossom In musical fields. If the business men of Ogden can be brought to look upon the matter not merely from the superficial viewpoint of artistic success alone, but from the standpoint of business, Ita success would be assured. Mr. rhea's letter follows In full: "Charles J. Rosa, Eaq., Ogden, Utah. My Dear Sir: Tour untiring efforts to advance the musical Interest of Ogden are to be heartily commended.

Lewis & Co., Gold and Silversmiths BANK ROBBERY way impairs the capital, but reduces the former surplus by the amount stated. Under the national banking laws thl money paid in by Mr. MeCornick and Mr. Nelson cannot be regarded as a loan, but l a voluntary gift or contribution, and it rests with the stockholders of the bank aa to whether it will be refunded to them. From the first the Pinkerton agency has had responsible charge of the investigation and the work id detecting the criminal and recovering the money stolen. Acting upon the advice of their men, the Information waa given out that the lose of the bank was 848.009. It was thought that thla waa aa much as the public waa interested In know-nThe fact of the loes and of tht payment mad to repair the same, and the exact condition of the bank, together with steps being taken to discover the guilty party, were reported to the comptroller of the currency, and Ms acknowledgement of the receipt of this information, with a request to be kept advised a a to the progress of the Investigation, is on file. The Pinkerton agency till h rharge of the ease, and no effort or expense hae been spared, or will b. spared, to fix tho guilt of this crime and to recover th money taken, and the Utah National bank hereby offers a reward of ten thousand (110,009) tnllars for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the party or parties guilty of the theft. We ask the public to bear in mind that we are charged with tba duty, not only of detecting and exposing the guilty, but of protecting and vindicating the innocent We do not propose to let anything Interfere with this result. We are acting, aa far as possible, under the best advice we can obtain. Wa are certainly more interested, as officers and stockholders of th bank, than any one. else can be. and wa ask that the public suspend its Judgment In respect to matters not fully understood until further developments are made.
