DEMETRAL ANXIOUS;
yOUSOUF CONF FIDENT
Both Wrestlers Train Faith
fully for Their Match on
Labor Day.

Hassan Yousouf. the wrestler. spent
most Of the day yesterday with his COM
patriot. Joseph Rice. who Is private
in the Fifteenth infantry and who comes
from the same province in Arabia. They
climbed the foothills back Of Fort Doug
las and compared salt Lake with their
native city OF Beirut.
Although Rice and Yousouf arc not
much alike In appearance, an Arabian
would readily Identify them as coming
from tho same part Of the country. by
the peculiar tattoo marks on their tenn
pies. Among their people N ~ custom
TO place minute tattooing on each chlld 3
head so II the little one is lost or kid
napod there may be no doubt about the
home OF the parents.
The wrestler was greatly pleased 10
be among the hills again. He said the
topography reminded him Of his own
home although most Americans conceive
Arabia TO be one vast plain.
Demetral Is becoming n ftuc anxious
about this match. Yousouf VIII be about
five pounds the heavier when they meet,
but he is only % and his muscles have
not the Iron-llke quality that Demetral 5
old and is stronger than he ever was In
his life before. Both men are familiar
with all the tricks OF the game and
neither is making tho mistake OF under
estimating his opponents skill.
Tuohey is having training quarters M :

nance in Spite Of Mayors
Vigorous Protest.
Special TO The Tribune

Special TO The Tribune.
OGDEN. Aug. eS.-In spite of the fact
that Mayor William Glasmann sent in
veto of the action OF the city council. In
passing the revised liquor ordinance
week ago, the council tonight sustained
its action by vote OF seven TO one.
Councilmen Flygare and Barker were alb
sent and Samuel Browning. president Of
the council, was the only one who voted
In favor OF the mayors veto. Those who
voted against the veto and to sustain the
action of the council were Councllmcn

The veto was lengthy affair and Sc
verely censured the city attorney. James

on the proposed ordinance last May, be-
fore II was passed, and. with the law
committee, voting 1t to be all right. and
then, after IL was passed, 10 find fault
with II and TO favor a revised ordinance.
The mayor snid the city attorney had
changed front and that the council had
broken solemn pledges In changing the
ordinance. He also said that the council
had been imposed upon by the city attor-
stores 10 handle liquor for medicinal
purposes without n license. He said that
the state law provides license for this:
The clause defining dining room and
hotel was also condemned. The mayor
showed that II allowed A saloon keeper
to run restaurant I'm connection with
his saloon, the only condition being that
there be seats for nifty persons and ter
persons employed in the place. He said
that this was vicious and intended tt
favor the big saloons and harm the
smaller ones. In the matter of reducing
the number OF saloons the mayor showed
how the whole meaning OF this clause hao
been changed by the insertion OF re"
words by the city attorney. by thc

sold his saloon or was forced To go ou'
OF business forfeited his license, but tho
city attorney inserted this clause so tha
