GIRL A DEPUTY SHERIFF
SEyENTEEN-YEAR-O MISS HOLDS
OFFICE IN SALT LAKE CITY.
Wears a Badge and Knows How to
Make Use Of It-Her Duties Are
Confined to Typewrftfng.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Aug. 1.-THE
rare distinction of being the only woman
sheriff in the United States is possessed by
a girl in Salt Lake City. There are women
detectives and women 'fioorwalkers, but
Miss Violet williams, Of 7s5 South Second
West street, holds the unique distinction Of
being the only woman deputy sheriff. Miss
williams lives at home with her parents.
and the fact that she is officer OF the
law is not known by some of her most inti-
mate friends. So few knowing the position
she holds will lend materially to her use
fulness should her services be required in
some complicated case.
Hundreds Of people daily see the little
maid, for she is but seventeen years old,
when they visit the sheriff's Office. but they
think that she is merely stenographer and
never for an instant suppose that she stands
robed in all the power of any officer of Salt
Lake county. They do not know that she
could place them under arrest just as quick
ly as any other deputy sheriff 1t is quite
true that Deputy Williams does the steno-
graphic work of the office-and there are
few typists who could attend to the amount
Of work she sometimes has to dispose Of
with more dispatch. She is an expert on the
typewriter, and the stenographic work of
the office is her duty. just the same as one
deputy does little else but serve attachment
papers and another makes q speciality of
ferreting out criminals She has her place
I'm the workings of the office and her work
TO keep up exactly the same as the othef3.
Deputy Sheriff Williams is a favorite with
the other deputies of the county, and soon
after her appointment had been confirmed
by the County Commissioners last January
she was made the recipient of beautiful
gold badge at their hands. Sheriff Emery
was also presented with handsome badge
at the same time. Miss Williams's badge
bears the inscription, "Emery's Deputies to
Violet, Deputy Salt Lake County"
Deputy Violet is very proud, as she has
good reason to be, Of her badge. 1t carries
many privileges. the gold star being the
password which gains free admission to the
the like. All that Deputy Williams needs
do when she desires to go TO the lake is TO
step on the train, and when Mr.. Conductor
comes around throw back her coat and ex-
pose the shining star. 1t is not often that
she takes advantage OF her official position
in this way, and ii is not generally known
that she is an officer of the law, but that
is solely because Of her retiring disposition.
She has never had occasion to display her.
self I'm her official capacity, but should cir
cumstances arise requiring her services as
an officer Deputy Williams is not the one
who would shirk duty. There is something
in the expression of her pretty gray eyes
that says she would not finch from any
task that might devolve upon her as a min
ion of the law.

PURDUE'S RAPID STRIDE
STATE INSTITUTION GAINING YEAR
LY IN POPULARITY.
Indication that Departments Will Be
OvercrOwded Again This Year
Preparations for the Opening.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

SPecial 10 the indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE. Ind, Aug. 5.-Oficers of
Purdue University estimate that when the
institution enters upon the thirtieth year
of its existence, Sept 9. the attendance Will
pass the 1,5o0 mark and perhaps reach LOCO.
The gain in the number of students last
year over 1901 was more than 100, and 1t
is evident from the great number of appli
cations for admission already filed that the
increase this year over 1902 will be even
greater. Purdue's remarkable strides within
the past ten years have attracted such at
tention that it has been almost impossible
to care for the great number of students
enrolled. Every department was far over
crowded last year. ii being necessary TO
divide some of the larger classes into half
a dozen sections. Even this plan failed to
solve the problem which confronted the
FACULTY, for class rooms were inadequate
and equipment far below the needs. Prac-
tically nothing has been done TO remedy
the conditions of last year, and with 100
or $50 more students to care for this year
the management will be obliged to devise
other means for handling the enlarged
classes. Last summer the dormitory known
as Purdue hall was converted into a class
unable TO recite in the main building used
the former dormitory. Soon this was filled
and rooms used for other purposes in some
OF the buildings were turned into class
rooms.
All that has been done this year to re-
ieve the congestion is to provide additional
equipment In the machine shops wood
room and foundry, where new machinery
has been installed and all spare space uti-
lized. 1t is in the engineering department
that a great majority of the new students
are being enrolled. while the science depart
ment is not growing very rapidly. President
Stone, before going on his vacation two
weeks ago, stated that Purdues greatest
need was more room and that with the
increased appropriation of the Legislature
the faculty hoped to be able to increase
the classroom space, although no perma-
nent solution of the problem could be
which bids have been asked, was erected.
The managing committee received three
bids some weeks ago, but they were thrown
out because OF Irregularities. Work on the
new building will not be begun until next
year, as. the fund is not available until 1904.
Since last year the faculty has raised the
entrance requirements, and now only grad
yates of registered high schools can secure
admission without passing all examinations.
President Stone Is hopeful that before the
opening of the college fn 1904 the new
physics building Will be ready for use
Workmen are now preparing the buildings
for the opening of college.
