Under the Law.

Concerning the plan advocated by
Commissioner Henry ". Lawrence for
the establishment of drug store or dis
pensary III connection with the city
health department where remedies could
be dispensed without cost to those in
need Of them, DR., Samuel G. Paul, health
commissioner said yesterday that it
would be impossible under the present
system of government in the city
and county.
"The county collects a tax for the
maintenance Of hospital and other ac-
cessories incident to the handling Of in
digent cases of sickness or injury he
said. elf the city should undertake to
usurp this responsibility it would find it.
self without sufficient funds. T am in
favor of the city handling eases within
the city limits but it cannot be done un.
der the present system. If the city
could be allowed the tax money now col
lected by the county for this purpose
the plan suggested by Commissioner
Lawrence could be carried out. In fact
il could be enlarged to include the hand
ling of all city cases now handled by
the county.

the annual statistical report of Super
intendent d. II. Christensen, fled with
the board of education last night.
OF the total enrolment there was an
average daily attendance of 94.2 per

unusual showing.
The report shows that of a total Of
576 teachers, principals and supervisors
employed in the school system g. are
men and 5l2 are women. Other inter
cstine statistics from the report follow:
Per cent Of school population enrolled
in the public schools, S5.S; number

including the training school, SO; num-
Der Of pupils enrolled by original entry
during the first month, 1897; number

among the school children by the
nurses.

Following the regular meeting of the
city commission yesterday morning

eastern manufactured articles by the
present administration.
The matter was brought to the at

chased from outside manufacturers.
The whole question was taken under

COMPLETE SURVEYS
FOR PROPOSED DAM
City Engineer Will Probably RECON-
mend Construction Of Project
IN Parley's Canyon

Surveys for the proposed dam and res
ervoir In Parley's canyon for the i'm
pounding Of more than 1,000.0o0,0o
gallons of water were completed yes
terday by the city engineering depart
ment and are now being checked by the
Office force. It is probable that the city
engineer will recommend the construc-
tion of the reservoir when he submits
to the city commission his complete
plans for the improvement and enlarge
ment of the city's water system.
The dam and reservoir in Farley Is
canyon was recommended by Louis A.
Kelsey, former city engineer, years ago.
The idea was revived last winter dur
ing the water shortage and has been
fostered to the point where it is prob
able that it will be carried out within
the next year or two.
In resurveying the site for the project
the present engineering force found the
original survey to have been correct in
most of the details. The cost of the
project, as estimated by the former en-
gineer, would be about s350,000. The
present city engineer has not yet fig
ured his estimate.

Fair association held Yesterday with the
architect, the plans for the lighting Of
the new coliseum were decided upon
and experts say that the building viii
be one OF the most perfectly and brill

gramme take place in the coliseum. the
officials considered it necessary to have

idea in view the lighting system has
been considered very carefully for the
past few weeks, and plans as finally ap.
proved call for sufficient lights to make
the entire building as light as dav.

PLEA OF NOT GUILTY
Corrections Board Exoner-
ates Prison Officials;
Spry Makes Statement.

Frank F.. Merrill, the penitentiary
guard who was arrested Monday after
noon on warrant charging him with
aiding and 'abettIng in the escape of
George w. Parry from the state peni'
tentiary during the night Of August l
was last night released from the coun-
ty Jail upon furnishing bail in the sum
of $4,000
Merrill was arraigned yesterday
morning before Judge n. Fl. Tanner OF
the criminal division Of the city court,
and entered a plea of not guilty. His
preliminary hearing viii be held on
August 20 at 10 clock in the morn
ing,
The state board of corrections met at
the state prison yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of formulating its re-
port on the investigation of the escape
of Parry. The meeting lasted until
6:30 O'Clock last evening, after which
Governor Spry, acting as tho spokes-
man for the board, made the following
statement;
The board found that the prison
officials were exonerated entirely,
and that three guards who had
been suspended were guiltless. These
men have been relnstnJed. 1t was
found by the investigation that
the lights OF the prison were all in
good condition at the time of the
escape, that the alarm wires were
in proper working order, that 1t
was the duty of the guard himself
to see that the lights and alarm
wires were working properly, as
the control over them centered in
the guard houses; that the search
light circuits were working when
Guard Merrill went on duty at
O'Clock in the afternoon Of the
day that Parry escaped.
The attitude Of the board is
plainly evidenced by tho arrest Of
Merrill, which was caused on
complaint issued by The county
attorney and sworn to by Warden
Pratt at the instigation OF the
board. The county attorney was
fully Informed as to the facts
gathered, and on his Judgment
alone the complaint was issued.
No responsi bility for Parry's
escape is attached to any one by
the board excepting to Merrill.
The specific statements which
Merrill and Parry made to the
board under oath have been
turned over to County Attorney
Wiley for his use in prosecuting
the case against Merrill. They are
withheld from the public at this
time at the suggestion Of Mr.
Wiley.

FEW SME[TERME|V
At M|DVALE OUT
Wheelers for Charge Fur
naces of United States
Company Strike.

Because Of dissatisfaction over
wages about sixty Of the wheelers on
the charge floor Of the United States
Smelling, Refining and Mining COM
pany's plant at Midyale struck yester-
day. Each shift requires about
twenty men. The first shift laid down
tools in the morning; the other two
failed to show up for work, but about
thirty of the sixty last night signifed
their Willingness to again take up
their duties.
1t is understood that the wheelers,
who have received S215 for eight hours
while negotiations were In progress
raised their demand to $2.40, which
the company met with fiat refusal.
Most of the furnaces were banked
at II clock yesterday. This will
keep them alive and will not interfere
with operations Of the smelter for
three days, but in view Of the re-
turn to work Of a number Of the
strikers last night it is not anticipated
that any suspension of operations Of
the plant, which employs about 500
men, will result.
Manager George W. Heiutz, who
spent some time at the smelter yester-
day afternoon in consultation with
superintendent Anderson, was content
TO say that he did not anticipate
trouble of any kind.
To guard against any outbreak
Sheriff Andrew Smith, Jr., and several
deputies went out to the smelter yes
terday when the morning shift walked
out, but there was no demonstration
or violence on the part Of the strikers,
although some Of them joined other
Greeks and Austrians in the celebra-
tion OF one OF their holidays and rode
around the town in automobiles.
