MANY NEW HOMES
BUILT DURING YEAR
Proof Contained in Number of
Connections Made by Wa
ter Department.
AN INCREASE OVER 1908
EMERGENCY MEN RESPOND TO
4,4o9 CALLS IN II MONTHS.

As an indication of the many new homes
which have been established during the
year in Salt Lake, the water service con-
nections in the city waterworks depart
ment shows an increase of nearly one
third in 1903 over the year previous. This
record is shown for the eleven months as
compared with 1908 and an estimate based
upon the services taken out during the
month now drawing to a close.
The records Of the waterwOrks depart
ment show a total of 1,130 connections IN
Salt Lake for the year 1909 as against
1,04S for the whole of 1908. It Is believed
by Chief Clerk Ed Eneass OF the de-
partment, that there will be nearly 1900
connections this year, or an increase over
1908 OF almost 300 Nearly every time a
service connection is made, it shows a
new home established. This rule may be
broken in a few Cases-perhaps one out of
each leo connections, according to Clerk
K0eass-and the Increases over 1903 will
indicate the increase in the new homes es-
Ia blished in the city.
For the eleven months of the present
year, the 11S0 connections were made as

MEDICAL SOCIETY
 FAILS TO AGREE
DISCUSSION ON HEALTH OFFICER QUESTION LAST NIGHT FINALLY RESULTED IN ADJOURNMENT WITHOUT ACTION.

The medical society last night discussed the nomination for health officer for the city of Birmingham and finally adjourned without taking any definite action in the matter.
 A letter from the mayor was read and the debate started a few moments aft erward Some of the members were in favor of re-nomnating Dr. Hardness, while others wanted some one else named for the place. This brought on a great deal of talk and instead of matters com ing to a smooth conclusion they grew wider apart. Finally someone made a motion for adjournment, which was im- mediately adopted and the question as to who shall be health officer Is still in statu quo.
 The council can elect the health of ficer only upon the society's nomination Several weeks ago they sent in their nominations to the council, which con- tahed the name of Dr. Hardness for re- election. The council declined to re- elect him and turned the matter back to the society," with requests for another nomination. Dr. Hardness is still serv- ing as health officer and will continue to do so until his successor Is appointed The matter is assuming an exceptionally interesting phase.

Y, June 21-Tonigfts s development in the Sigel murder mystery in that aspect of 1t which took form sud denly and unexpectedly here today fol- lowed an afternoon of constantly growing doubt on the part of the police that the man they had captured was the one sought. The facial resemblance of the prisoner to Leon's picture is striking, the description of the clothing worn by the missing Chlnaman tallies almost to the last detail, and the man during the day made several contradictory statements which threw doubt on his insistent de- nials that he was Leon or knew any thing either about the murder sus- pect or the latter's companion, Chung Sin, the prisoner held by the Amster- dam authorities. But several develop ments in the case following the arrest seemed to bear out the claim of the suspect here that his name was Gnu Hop of New York; and that he had come here a week ago to negotiate for declared that he had never known any of the principals in the Sigel murder mystery and had never frequented any of the Chinatown missions For the past eight years, since his return from a visit to China, he had been employed in China town.
 The mans contradictions lay in differ ing statements as to how he had spent his time during his residence in New York and in his first statement that he did not even know of the existence of the mission at No. 1 Mott street. followed by his latter admission that he knew the place, but had never been inside it.

DOUBLE HANGING
 IS SET FOR JULY g
TWO NEGROES WERE CONVICTED OF KILLING AND ROBBING A NE GRO sToREKEEPER IN ENsLEY LAST OCTOBER.

Preparations are being made at the county jail for a double hanging to be held on July g, on which day Joe Rogers and Jim Powell, two negroes, will pay the extreme penalty of the law for murder and robbery which they stand charged and convicted of having committed at Ensley last De- tober.
 Rogers and Powell are alleged to have entered the store of W. G. Simms negro merchant at Ensley, during the early part of last October. They tried to rob Simms and when he re- sisted shot and killed him, proceeding then to rifle the cash drawer in the store. One of the negroes was cap tured at the fair grounds by Detective John Wren on the night following the murder, and the other negro was taken some time later. Both confessed to the robbery and murder and one of the negroes admitted his guilt on the wit ness stand in court. The jury in the case remained out only a few minutes. and returned a verdict imposing the death penalty.
 No appeal has ever been taken bv the two negroes and preparations are being made for the execution. Both of the negroes will die on the same day. The death watch has been inaugurated and Sheriff Higdon has given orders to have ropes stretched for the execu tion.
