of June Slight
Decrease.



Although building improvements for
the month just past have not aggre-
gated as large an amount of money as
the same month in some years past.
there has been a most substantial gain
in the building world, due to the many
fine residences that are being erected
in the newer additions Of the city.
Few business block permits were is
sued for the month of June, and con-
sequently the grand total was not
swollen by such records, as was the
case last month when one $4,000 per-

and consequently the grand total was
not swollen by such records as was

Of the United States is richer in ro-

Lake Champlain. The lake itself was
the scene of stirring naval battles, and
every inch of the surrounding country

storms of Sunday and Monday and while
trains on all the roads yesterday were
minutes OF hours late. the Denver & Rio

WheeIs Of Justice aIocked.

The prohibition movement has even
gone so far as TO block the wheels of
justice in Utah-that is. judging from
statements made in Judge Bowman's
court yesterday. Some time ago Will
liam Black was arrested on a charge
of using abusive language When his
case was called Representative Brig
ham Clegg was entered on record as his
counsel. but owing to the legislature
being in session, and Representative
Clegg being very. very busy. the case
was put of from time to time. Monday
Prosecutor Rogers tried to force a hear
ing OF the. charges, bat the case was
again postponed until yesterday.
Mr. Rogers ehagrin Of the day before
was displaced yesterday by his sar-
easm. when he informed the court.
owing TO the very important prohibit
ton matter now on hand in the legis-
lature. in which Dir. Clegg is vitality in
terested, because he thinks if he is not
IN attendance at the legislature while
this prohibition matter is up his con-
sutuents will think that ne is Sinking
another postponement Of the case has
been asked for. I would suggest that
the date of the trial be set for Thurs
day at 10 O'Clock, and il might be well
II We could get some prohibition meas
ures in the court, if it seems that these
are the most important"

GERMAN FURNISHES ONLY
RIPPLE IN POLICE COURT
Wants Court to Extend Time for
Payment of Fine-Tardy Requests
Other Cases Yesterday.

Yesterday was a humdrum day in
Judge Bowman's court, the only thing
to please the taste Of the regulars
being the case against George Kruger,
a young German charged with viola
ton of the dog ordinance. Kruger's
knowledge of the English language and
the procedure of American courts was
so limited that both Judge Bowman
and q newspaper reporter had to be
requisiuoned into service with their
ability as interpreters. After wasting
over half an hour on the hearing of the
charge, the defendant was found guilty
and, although Prosecutor Rogers urged
for q stiff sentence of imprisonment
was fined $40, Judge Bowman taking a
more ienient view of the case than the
prosecutor.
The ludicTous side was given to the
case when, after Kruger had completed
his case, had been found guilty and
fined, he asked to be permitted to bring
some other witnesses, that he be per-
mitted to secure an attorney, and final
ly asked that he be allowed until March
Is 10 pay the fine. When he found that
he had been tardy with these requests,
he attempted a hurried flight from the
court room, but was overtaken on the
stairway by Jailer Ripley. After KTu-
ger had been led over the bridge of
signs" and received a glimpse of the
barred cells and cages. he suddenly dis
covered that it would not require until
March Is to secure the s10-that, in
fact, he could get it almost at once. In
less than an hour he had left the Jail.
John Stolus. the Greek charged with
having been implicated in the robbery
Of J. J. Fox, in breakdown Monday
night, was arraigned before Judge Bow
man yesterday and took the statutory
time to plead. His case will be called
again this morning at 10 o'clock.
