CITY COUNCIL DISPOSES OF
PARKER CASE AND PARKER

his services to date, thus practically
ratifying Chief Pools action in refus-
ing to recognize Mr.. Parker as an Of
ficer.
B. S. Taylor, also appointed as a
plain clothes man, will continue to
serve as such, the action of the mayor
in his case being ratified by the coun-
Gil but no action looking to his re-
moval being taken by that body.
In the Parker case a matter which
promised to become at one time an
acute situation is now definitely set
tied. 1t will be remembered that Chief
of Police Pool, and by his instructions
the day sergeant, refused to recog-
nize Mr.. Parker as an officer, although
men arrested by him were accepted
as prisoners. The matter was small
sensation in city hall circles for sew
eral days and it was mooted ques-
ton as to which side would win out
when the council acted upon the mat
ter. The police committee, or a ma
iority of it, had ratified the action OF
the mayor, and last night the council
did the same thing, then taking Mr.
Parker from the force and disposing
of him finally as an issue.
Those present at the city council
meeting last night were: Mayor ]. d
Donald, City Clerk Farley, City Mar
shall Charles Pool, City Attorney G.
w. Ellis, and Councilmen w. G. Gil
lespie, T. A. Hightower, w T. Roberts
E. Dill, H. Kat, E. ]. Mitchell and R. ]
Collins.
The council acted also upon a mum
Der of realty assessments but did not
take up any personal assessments.

Foundry Company has an unusually
large amount of repair work on hand

are many pieces of repair work in

BRUTAL NEW YORK MURDER
Half Charred Body of Young Woman
Found-No Clue to Perpetra-
tors of Crime.

New York, July 29.-In the finding Of
the half-charred body of a young woman
early this morning in an isolated Sec
ton of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, one of
the most atrocious and cunningly planned
murders that have been given to the
police to solve in many years was re-
vealed- Death was caused by a cut
across the throat, and then, in an en-
deavor to utterly destroy all evidences
of the crime. the murderer or murderers
wrapped the body in an oil-soaked mat
tress, poured oil over the victims cloth
ing and set fire to the bundle. A pow
erful acid had previously been poured
over the face to obliterate the womans
features and make Identification impos-
sible.
Although two arrests have been made
the police do not believe they have in
custody any one who can shed any light
on the mystery. The prisoners are James
Ruddick, an old man who lived in a
stable not far away from where the body
was found, and his son Joseph, ped
der, who discovered the body.

SUBSTITUTE FOR MARBLE.
Company to Be Formed Here for Man.
ufacture of Marblecrete.

Within sixty days it will not be nee
essary for Salt Lake builders to send
off for marble thing and wainscoting
for new structures. "Marblecrete"
which is just as ornamental as marble,
is to be manufactured here. ]. R.
Thomas, the inventor of the substitute
for marble, and r. N. Cunningham, of
Akron. n. Y, are now at the Knuts-
ford hotel and have samples of mar
blecrete" in room $40, which can be
seen by Salt Lake architects, builders,
business men and all others interested
between 10 and II o'clock today.
Messrs. Thomas and Cunningham
have arranged with A. H. Birreil, Of
the A H. Birrelr company, for the or
ganiZing of the Utah Marblecrete COM
pany. which is to manufacture the ma
terial here. Mr.. Birrell will have c. c..
Evans, who made the Minneapolis
plant success, act as manager of the
Salt Lake plant.
''Marblecrete" can be put to all the
uses of marble, and a great many
more. Its natural color is white, but
it can be made to resemble every va
riety of marble. It's cost is so much
less than real marble that in other
cities il is used in apartment houses,
stores and other buildings for orna-
mental work.
1t Is also made into thing for floors
and can also be spread over an old
wooden floor, at comparatively small
cost. making a new floor that is more
durable than hardwood and less costly.
A number of builders, who examined
the pieces of marblecrete displayed by
MessrS- Thomas and Cunningham yes
terday, stated that as soon as the Salt
Lake plant is in operation they VIII
make use of the material in the COM
pletion of the structures they are put
ting up.
Ii is claimed that by the use of
marblecrete the expense of decorating
the interiors of attractive buildings
will be reduced 80 per cent.

INFECTED WITH
DREAD SC0URGE
Cholera Along the River VoIga
and Other Parts of
Russia.
GREAT CONCERN is SHOWN
GOVERNMENT PREPARING TOI
COMBAT THE DISEASE.

st. Petersburg, July 29.-The govern
ment is preparing for an outbreak of
Asiatic cholera all along the River
Volga, from Nizhni Novgorod to its
mouth, and at the Caspian ports The
entire Volga region and both coasts
OF the Caspian, together with the ter
ritory of the Don Cossacks already
have been officially declared in the
cholera zone, but the sanitary authori-
ties hope to confine the disease within
these limits and prevent it from reach
ing Moscow and st. Petersburg this
year.
Considerable outbreaks of cholera
are reported from Astrakha, Tsaritsyn
and Kamyihin and isolated cases have
occurred at villages some distance
from the river. which convinces experts
that the outbreak is not due to direct
infection. but from contamination of
the water, the cholera bacilli having
found many tributaries by which to
spread last autumn.
Suspicious Deaths at Moscow.
Two suspicious deaths were reported
this morning at Moscow, but a bacte-
biological examination showed that the
victims, who were barge men of Nov
forod. died from other causes.
The preventive measures undertaken
Dy the government consist or the cree
ton of isolation hospitals at twenty
five points along the Volga, the es-
adjustment of a floating hospital and
an inspection service in the river it
self There will also be a more or
less cursOry examination of passen-
gers on the railroads.
Six steamers already have been con-
demned and furnished with physicians
to examine raftsmen and the passen-
gers and crews of vessels plying on
the Volga- Other steamers will be
put into service both on the Volga and
on the Dneiper, if the emergency war;
rants it.
Quarantine impossible.
Where cases of cholera have been
established, efforts will be made to
detain and isolate those who have
been stricken, as well as those who
have come in contact with them during
the period of incubation, but no at
tempt will be made TO place a strict
quarantine on the infected districts.
The Russian authorities believe that
this would defeat its object by terror
izing the population and causing them
to combat the efforts intended for
their good. The peasantry, who dur
ing earlier epidemics manifested super
stitious hostility toward physicians.
nave HOW " SO-OPtldtC Win
the authorities.
The government has placed ample
funds at the disposition of the SAM
tary commission, but there will be
great difficulty in securing capable
physicians. Mimi Novgorod is con-
sidered the danger point of the cpl
demic, as the annual fair. which is the
of the merchants of all
Russia and Siberia, has just been
opened. If the cholera appears there,
which is considered almost certain, 1t
will be extremely difficult to prevent
it's general dissemination.
