CLAIM ACTION A
POLITICAL. MOVE

SALT LAKE, Oct 17-The action
of Governor Spry yesterday in send
ing letter to the board of county
commissioners, sheriff. mayor OF Salt
Lake City and chief OF police. charg
ing that the city was infested with
criminal characters and asking the
county and city officials 10 cooper
ate in their riddance, is bitterly re-
sented by the municipal authorities,
who assert that the letter was issued
Tor political purposes.
IL IS pointed out there is no more
crime in the city now than there has
been for many years.
Chief of Police Barlow said today:
"The city Is clean The police de.
partment is efficient. We arc doing
great work, and this talk that is 60
ing around Is not because there are
any criminals here 1t Is merely a
political subterfuge"
The county commissioners today au-
thorized Sheriff Sharp to appoint 90
deputy Sherifis The charge that the
governors action was for political ef-
feet is based upon the fact that the
city OF Salt Lake is politically con
trolled by the American party, while
the state and county are controlled
by the Republican organization.
The American party has for its pro-
feSsed object the elimination of po-
litical control by the Mormon church
This year the American party is seek

fort to repeat lhc trick Yesterday re-
suited in their apprehension
At their first appearance Mt tho res

TO get them a cup of coffee after they
had received their checks. While the
waiter was getting The coffee one Of
the men reached over the counter
pulled out the money drawer and eX

cover his loss until after the men had
left the place
Yesterday the two men again ate in
the restaurant, but when they asked
the Chinese walter 10 get a second
cup Of coffee he became suspicious
and after leaving the room concealed
himself behind a partition and watch

correct and he caught one OF the men
IN the act of leaning over the counter
to rob the cash drawer
Upon being discovered the crooks
ran from the restaurant, but officer
Vance was near the place at the time
and upon learning the cause of their

northerly and southerly axis OF the

the strata amounts to certainly sew

hitherto been deeply buried. Lime

The lowest formation made visible
probably belongs 10 the carboniferous
