MAY INVESTIGATE CHIEF HILTON
CITY ATTORNEY PREPARING
RESOLUTION ON SUBJECT.
Outgrowth of the Examination of
Three Girls at the Police Station
May l.

City Attorney stephens was request
ed yesterday by a councilman to pre-
pare a resolution for presentation at
tomorrow evenings session of the city
council, calling for an investigation of
Chief Hilton's official actions with ref
erence to a scanGalous affair at the
police station on Tuesday evening,
Nav 1.
The story is that on the night stated
Chief Hilton sent for the city physician
to examine two girls for evidences of
a Ioathsome disease. The girls. whose
names are for the time withheld from
publication, were taken to the police
station by Patrolmen Davies and Sper-
ry from the Palace restaurant, on a
suspicion of having been guilty of i'm
moral conduct. Neither of the girls is
yet Is years of age, but at that time
they were in company with girl a
few years their senior.
Acting upon the direction of the
chief, who stated that such proceed
ings were frequently necessary at the
police station. DR.. King examined the
girls, but found nothing of the char
acter expected by the police officers.
The examinations were made privately
by the physician. and the girls con-
scented to the ordeal.
Detective Sheets and Justice Tim
mony were at the police station at the
time, but they were not present in the
room where the examinations were
conducted.
Both Chief Hilton and Detective
Sheets justify the action by asserting
that the girls had been complained
ho7rt ferIlx- for their moral CON
duct. Similar cases had come to the
knowledge Of the police officers and
examinations had been made by the
former city physician, for without a
medical report the ends Of justice could
not be subserved. They also assert
that the action taken a week ago Tues
day night was in the interest Of the
moral welfare Of the girls. and in the
hope of accomplishing their reforma-
ton.
Replying to the statement that there
is no law nor justification for the
chiefs action in the premises. Detective
Sheets directs attention to the fact
that in similar cases medical examina-
tons are in the interest of morality
necessary to be made frequently at the
orphans home and at the reform
school.
In speaking of the occurrence last
evening. City Attorney Stephens con-
fessed his surprise that any such thing
could have taken place at the police
station He said there was no warrant
either in law or in the excuse of pro-
noting public. morality for the chief
Of police to order the city physician to
examine any one, medically, on sus-
picion Such a thing as the suspected
ones conserving could not be.
The city attorney believes that the
mayor ard the city council will take
the proper action after investigating
the charges It is his opinion further
that the county attorney would be JUS
titled in having a grand jury called to
investigate the matter for the purpose
Of commencing a criminal prosecution
against THE chief Of police and those
who aided and abetted in the affair.

The attempt of the Pacific coast
candy trust, which has been going on
for several weeks, TO include Salt Lake
in its ramifcations now seems doomed
to failure The trust yesterday ac-
quired by purchase the outfit of Robert
Elite at an approximate price of $1,000,
but J. G. Mcdonald and NJ. Kopp, the
largest manufacturers. are obdurate.
Louis Saroni of San Francisco. sec
rotary Of the trust, has been at work
with these gentlemen for several DAYS.
he has outlined to them the beauties
OF the combination in which ne is en-
gagged, but they can't see it his way.
The first step in the organization of
the Utah end Of the trust was taken
some days ago, when the Salt Lake
Candy company, with a capital stock
OF 100000, and with Mr.. Saroni as
president. was organized. Although it
did not appear in the articles of incOr-
poration, the real object Of the concern.
it is said, was to secure a monopoly on
the candy output of the state.
overtures Are Begun.
To this end, overtures looking toward
the purchase of the local plants were
begun. Then Mr.. Saroni went to Og-
den. Word comes from the Junction
City that he succeeded in buying the
Palace chop at that place, but he fell
down az hard when he tried to buy the
Ogden Candy company as he did with
Messrs. Mcdonald and KoDD.
The delivery of the Elite outfit at in
voice prices was begun last night Mr.
Elite denied that he knew anything
about the formation of a trust. He

the agent Of the trust within the next
day or two.
Mr.. Mcdonald talked freely about the
matter when seen by The Herald last
night
Mr.. Saroni is secretary of the Pa
cific coast trust he said He came to
me some time ago and proposed that

been organized His idea was to get
all Of the Salt Lake and Utah candy
companies into a pool. / talked to Mr..
Kopp about it and both of US came
to the conclusion that We could best
serve the interests of our customers by
remaining independently Mr. Saroni
worked with both Of US for some time.
but that was our final answer TO him.
I don't know what the result will be.
/ think we can put up as good fight
against the trast as anybody. At least.
that is what we are going to do if the
trust attempts to force US to come in"
