LEPROSY PAU AMONG
UTAH HAWA||ANS

SALT LAKE, Utah, April S.--Leprosy
has been entirely stamped out of Utah,
Is the verdict of DR.. Theodore B. Beat
ty, who with City Health Commission
er Wilcox, was called upon yesterday
to investigate a supposed case-of the
loathsome disease in North Salt Lake.
The alleged victim, who is "a member
of the Kauka family, brought here
from Hawaii by Mormon missionaries,
was found to be suffering from a very
simple skin disease which is not infec-
tions. Several cases of leprosy exist
ed a few years ago in the Hawaiian
colony which the Mormon church To-
Gated in Skull valley, but the offlicted
ones were isolated and all have since
died, the health officials claiming that
no further cases have been contracted
or imported.

He WANTS
ASSURANCE
Governor Carter Wishes
Cohen to Guarantee
Bands Return.

j. c. Cohen is called on to furnish
specifications of his proposition to take
the Government band to the St. Louis
Exposition. The Governor does not
want to allow the musicians after the
Legislature has had its way in retain
ing their services, to be led away from
the Paradise of the Pacific and lost on
the mainland. He would at least guard
against the necessity of having to send
n relief expedition after Kappelmeister
Berger and his tuneful corps.
MIR. Cohen complains about not hav
ing received an answer to his request
for leave of absence to the band and
permission for himself to take the band
to st. Louis" Governor Carter said
yesterday afternoon.
He represents that the press and
public are unanimous in wanting the
band to go to st. Louis" the Governor
continued. Il have asked him to give
me his proposition in writing.
II thought the community was howl
ing to have the band stay here to cheer
its feelings over the depression in the
financial situation.
What is wanted is definite propo-
sition giving assurance that the mem
bers of the band will not be stranded
and Government aid be asked to bring
them back. | want to know who Mr..
Cohen's hackers are.
IF he Is to make the profit it is only
reasonable that, if the enterprise be a
failure, he will stand the loss and not
the Government. / wish to know what

received from Mr.. Cohen | can give
