SEAT SALE NOW ON. PRICES: Herald: Lying on a had of pain, torture, la suffering indescribable Harold M. Speight, the survivor of aa electrical shock of twice the voltage of the average current used In electrocuting doomed prisoners in New York. Harold M. Speight la the electrician who ten daya ago barely escaped incineration at the top of a pole at First North and Main street, 8alt Lake. In some manner his foot came la contact with the primary current of the Utah Light ft Railway company at ths aama time that his hand touched the wire carrying the secondary current for the name company. In a aeoond ha waa made a human transformer between the two wires establishing a short circuit through which a current of 4,800 vohe waa passing. According to all rules ever established by nature and science, Speight should have Instantly succumbed to the terrific shock. In New York where the law prescribes the electric chair ae the method of legal executions. 1300 volts Is considered sufficient to produce death and la no case has more than 3.300 volts been used. The average current used to electrocute the convicts la from 3,000 to volts. As a living exception to the lang established laws of the terrific power of the subtle force of electricity Harold Bpeight Is still alive and suffering from the effects of hla terrible experience on a hospital cot at 8t. Marks. Physicians, though astounded at the remarkable vitality that In defiance of all rules withstood the terrible shock, bar decided that Speight will survive though It la probable that he will be crippled for life, . Mr. Speight tells a graphic story of how It feela to be electrocuted. 1 was in the employ of the Bell Telephone company a cable splicer,1 he aald, "and was assigned to do some work along a line at First North and Main street. This work took me to a pole on the corner that la considered the most dangerous pole In Balt Ijike City and la usually shunned by linemen. The .vires of the Bell Telephone company run along the two top arm of the pole and on three arms Imme--d latelr below the telephone lines run the w'trea of the Utah Light A Railway company. The proximity of these wire all carrying different currents renders work on this pole particularly - , hazardous "The danger of electrocution never occurred to me, and I went ahead with my work testing the telephone wires. I waa sealed In a cable Chair at the top of the pole and my position was aomewhat cramped. 1 had been endeavoring to get central but could not reach her. I changed my position4 aomewhat, when like a flash I became rigid at a statue. 'The sensstloa that pasted through my body la boy on d description. It was by far the moat peculiar feeling I have ever experienced. I did not realise what had happened at first and I did not care for the feeling waa very pleasant It seemed as though I was lipping away on a cloud. "It could not have been more than a few seconds, though to me It seemed much longer than that that I enjoyed this sensation. The most terrible paluri have ever felt came over me. I presume that at the first sudden shock the nerves were deadened but as soon a the electricity started to bnrn Into ' I the flesh the agony commenced. made a desperate effort to Jerk my foot away from the wire which held It fast, but In vain. "I could feel the throb of the dyna-ntoand distinctly hear the purr of the machinery as though 1 were In was power plant where the electricity passing through me was being generated. Every muscle, every fiber In ray body was tense and throbbing In time to tbe workings of the dynamo. I afterward learned that my fcot was touching the feed wire of the power company carrying 4.800 volt and my bund touching the lighting current carrying 110 volta. The electricity waa tnlng to make me a transformer between the two unequal currents. Haara. Central Talking. "All the while I waa struggling with the terrific force that waa rapidly overpowering me 1 could hear central talking over the' line I bad been testing. She was saying Number, please, over and over again. I dimly remember that it occurred to me to tell her my predicament In the hope that aid might come to me. I tried to talk but found I waa unable to utter U sound. The horrible throbbing and pain kept on and I felt that 1 waa growing weaker tnd weaker. being "The best I can remember let down from the pole on a rope, i 1 was fete numb all over, but while being taken to the hospital the pain revived. I could smell the burning flesh and feel the electricity eating Into my bones. Since 1then the pain haven't slept baa not left me at all. since I have be-- n In the hospital. "At times I feel the same 'terrible throbbing and Jerking of the dynamos that I felt on the afternoon when my body formed part of the Intricate electrical machinery of the Utah Light A Railway company.". 2,-4- ilTAHNA THEATER TONIGHTI THE OCTOROON 10e.Z0B.a0o PRICE EXAMINEE: Hereto your cue for the aew year Bo euro and have your laundry waste American attended to by aa Plant By aa doing yna will avoid rlak and disappointment Wa nta no Injurious wnahlng preparatlona aa la tba practice of tba "Heathen Chlncaa."

A child Iibor tow will be Introduced In the legislature this week. It will prohibit the employment of children under eixieen years of age In any theatre, amusement ball, factory or manufacturing enterprise unless It la conclusively shown that aurh employment to elieolutely necessary for the support and maintenance of the family. Tha measure will be similar to tbat which haa been Introduced In the senate of tha United Slate by Senator Beveridge of Indiana and which ha aroused much favorable comment from the pres uf the country. The Utah Federation of Labor la bark of tbe move and the bill prepared by the officials of that organisation will first be lubmlttad to the tenate. It I not kaowa who will father the icsNurv, although It I thought that one of tba Balt Lake senators will introduce It. It (a not thought that there will be anr difficulty la passing the bill. Moat of the eastern states have alringent statures prohibiting tbe employment of ci.!Id ialtor, and although anch measure bare not been necemry In the west until recently, the afcltatlon started by Senator Beveridge has awakened public sentiment throughout tha royalty and In tho west where the evil ha been at a minimum, It la recognised that It la easier to put a atop to the practice of employing children at Its iareptlon than to' wait und til the ayaiam haa become and hat permeated the IndudlrUI fabric of tbe section. In order to secure the strict enforcement of a child labor law. It la probable that the legislature will also be asked to create the office of a slate These officials labor commissioner. are common In tbs eastern state and have ge tier I supervision of tbe enforcement of all laws affecting labor. At the end of each year they report In detail the labor conditions In the state they represent, and In order to do this work thoroughly have a number of Inspectors who visit all tbe manufacturing etbllhmnta and other Industries and lu addition to making these Institution obey the existing laws, gather valuable data for further legislation along humanitarian lines. In Utah the only officials who have any supervision over laiior matters are the members of the state arbitration board, who la reality do nothing but pans upon strives when both sides desire their services. A number of prominent legislators have expressed themselves In favor of the ptopoeed child labor memrare and there la not mieh doubt bnt that It will pass, i deep-roote- Two laud nj oow slides blocked the canyon road yestarday. The road supervisor of Eden and Huntsville, with a force of mm, are working from the east end to clear away the debris, and under the direction of Commissioner McKay and Sheriff Behring and Li deputies another gang started yesterday afternoon from the west end.

STOCK TAKING It 1 understood on good authority that a primary law will be Introduced In ibe state ornate. The measure will be designed to do away with the presconvention system by nominating state, county and rlty officials, ami will require that all nominations he made by the direct vole of tbe people. It will be a modification of tbe Minnesota and Wisconsin primary leva, which lisve stood th teat of several elections. It la thought that either Renator Lawrence of 8al or Bene tor Hollingsworth of Ogden will Introduce the measure. When seen last evening Senator Lawrence denied hla Intention of making an effort In this direction, although he aald ho would support aurh a Mil. He said: "I have heard rumors that a primary bill la to be Introduced, but they have rot been confirmed. I have not given any thought to the matter personally, but would support any move itf that direction, aa I think a primary law would do more towards solving the ent complicated political situation In Utah than any other measure that could be Introduced. I believe In the eysten end want to be counted aa a aup'torter of any bill whlrb will brln.t It shout. In underMluneanta and WIscuk stand. the pi.iiarv law lit. jjh tried l. la with greet success, ; whlrb waa the pioneer In adopting I hla system uf nominating party candidates. The primary law In effect takes away from shvater politicians, ward heeler and other corrupters of tbe public the privilege of dictating parly nominations. . Under the law aa estot-In- g In Minnesota and Wlaconaln, anv one, upon the payment of a nominal filing fee, can annouce hla candidacy for a nomination for any office to which he la eligible. The primaries are held ala weeks before the general election, earh party hiving a separate ballot with the names of those of Ita members who have officially declared their Intention of becoming candidates for the various offices. A voter upon entering tbe poling place declares Me party, and upon bring given Its ballot, retires Into a booth and marks the name of the candidates he wishes to represent hie party for the various off res to be voted for at tbe for general election. The candidatenumeach office receiving fbe largest ber of vote la declared the party nominee and hi name goes on the ballot at the November elect toco. The system la simplicity Itself and haa resulted wherever used In alia Instlng party lines and in putting into office a superior class of men.
