DETECTIVES SPEAK
WE'LL OF BECKER
NEW YORK OFFICERS DECLARE
HE is NOT AS BLACK AS
HE IS PAINTED,

Detective Sergeant Bolton was en-
gagged yesterday in entertaining and
showing the city to Detective Ser
geants Ernest Moore. and George Nc
Gam, OF New York.
The two metropolitan detectives de-
ciared they were not here on busi-
ness but were taking few days rest
in the sunny South
When asked about the Becker case,
sergeant Moore would only say that
people were often painted blacker than
they really were.
Il don't think that Becker had as
much TO do with the matter as he liz
generally understood to have had
said Sergeant Moore. While never
worked with him, nor under him. !
have met him and know him He is
not the bad man he has been pictured
At least, that is what we fellows who
have seen him and know him think
am not. Of course. speaking officially
While he had what is called plain
clothes men working under him. prob
ably sixty. those men are not what Is
known as detectives. They are men
who work in specific lines, while the
detective works on any criminal case
which may come up.
The general understanding by the
public il that a plain clothes man
when referred to in connection with
the police, embraces man from the
detective department. This is no,
true. A detective and plain clothes
man are two distinct types OF police
men. We are detectives, while the
plain clothes men are delegated TO dc
certain things. We cover anything tina
may come up

this Improvement will cost $50, 900.
During the past year between $4,000
and $4,000 were spent in preliminary
work on the Cite. A grading crew was
busy most of the fall season prepar-
ing the site, but was forced to desist
early in November owing TO the heavy
SHOWS. The work will be taken up
again early in the spring.
Other proposed improvements con-
template an increase in the supply
from Parley's creek. Competent en-
sineers have estimated that about
5,000.0 900 gallons more than the pres
ent flow can be turned into the city
mains from this stream, which now
yields littlo moro than 100000 gal
Ions. II is also proposed to extend
a twenty.four-iuch conduit direct to
Parley's conduit TO Sugar House and
Forestdale, thereby improving the scrv-
ice to those districts.

Some people have thought the iuven~

whose principal duty was to 60 into the
homo on the slightest provocation, tear
il to pieces and scatter its members
among training schools, detention

ton, the truest and best men have real
lied that the strong family organization
meant the strong nation. That the
greater love OF family and home, the
greater the patriotism and love Of coun-
try among a people. With this idea be-
fore them, iurists, statesmen and law
makers have constantly used their in
6uence to make the home unit strong
and have looked with Jealous eyes upon
everything that tended to disrupt the

~ OMPARED with that Of almost
4 any American city, the water
I supply Of Salt Lake is not to
bo surpassed; yet tho question OF
increasing tho supply, safeguarding 1t,
conserving IL and distributing 1t eqult-
ably it at present paramount one to
Salt Lake, just as IL is To almost any
large and growing community.
Tho present administration. under
which one of tho five city commission
crs devotes his entire official time to
the water department, has given the
question OF water supply much earnest
consideration during the last year.
The needs of the city have been dis
covered and fairly comprehensive
plans for meeting the present require
ments as well as those likely TO arise
in the near future are said 10 have
been worked out. Tho coming year will
see tho execution Of some Of these
plans on large scale.
These improvements, according to eI-
pert estimates, can be made to add al
most twenty millions of gallons to
the daily flow that surges through the
city'5 iron pipes, bringing tho total
daily supply to approximately forty
five millions, the present supply being
about twenty-five millions. The cost
or the Improvements contemplated IL
estimated at s2j0,000. and there the

is perhaps more serious TO the present
administration than is tho question Of

Mayor Park remarked.

i arr
"Mr. Varian our legal advisor has
expressed the opinion that the law
requiring Salt Lake City to paw n
certain portion Of the expense of main
tanning these homes is unconstitutional
and that the city cannot legally pay
this money, as it is taxation without
representation, the city having no voice
in the management of the homes. We
will say, however, the commission is
heartily in favor OF the work the
Juvenile court is doing, aud we assure
you. that no matter what the decision
of the courts may be in this matter,
we viii find some way of maintaining
these homes. They must not be de-
strovcd or their usefulness impaired. -
This view was concurred in by all
the members Of the commission. An
endeavor viii be made to have the
matter settled bv the supreme court,
so that If any change is necessary in
our law. il may be made by the in
coming legislature this winter. There
is a widespread demand from over the
state for an increase OF these detention
homes, as they are absolutely necessary
