be without fruit. The many chill

their first steps on the road to
knowledge, will always appreciate
and remember his assistance and
kind advice as they journey thru
life. His influence among them
was for good, and the good will
never perish. Long live the mem
ory of a faithful and earnest work

Christos John Koutsopoulos. a Greek
who graduated from the University of
Utah in 1911 and later took a post
graduate course in the University of
California, was denied naturalization
papers yesterday by Judge John A.
Marshall Of the United States court.
Lack Of prosecution was the reason
given for not admitting Koutsopoulos
as citizen Of the United States, and
his case was laid aside until the next
examination for naturalization appli-
cants, November o.
Koutsopoulos applied for citizenship
in 1911 previous to the time he entered
the University of California, but while
at California and when the Balkan war
broke out, his patriotism for his native
country led him to set sail for Greece,
take up the fight against the Balkan
states. koutsopoulos will probably be
eligible to be admitted as citizen in
November. While at the University of
Utah he made an enviable record in .
his studies and graduated with high
standing. He has resided in Utah, in

Problem of Selection Between
Zion Representatives Too
Much for Committee.

" HE Commercial club committee
which recently undertook to
choose the girl who shall be the
queen of Salt Lake county al
the state fair, yesterday afternoon
reached the pinnacle of it's difficulties
The committee recently found an ad
mirable way Of allowing some one else
to select the candidates. but the plan
went wrong, and instead of the TWEEN.
ty-four young women who it was ex-
pected would be in the competition fol
the honor of being queen, there were
but two.
This, however, is not the fault of
the girls, because in the final analysis
they were the cream of the Salt Lake
high school, in the opinion of the teach
ers Of that institution, which had an
elimination contest at the school Thurs
day afternoon.
Two were selected, Miss Isabel Child
and Miss Grace Parke, and yesterday
the two presented themselves to the
Commercial club, where the final selec-
tion of which should be queen and
which maid of honor was to be made.
Right there the committee found it.
self helpless. 1t WIS unable to agree
On which of the girls should have the
honor. Both girls, on the other hand
were willing that the other be chosen,
each insisting, in fact, that she be the
maid and the other the queen.
Finally, fate was selected as the me-
dunn of determining the question. A
toothpick was broken into two pieces
one piece shorter than the other. The
short piece was to designate. Miss
Parke was the winner.
The photographs Of both Miss Parlse
and Miss Child were exclusively pub
lished in The Tribune Friday.

settled, the Salt Lake county beauty

ANOTHER DELAY in
CARMEN HEARING
Two Demurrers and a Motion to
Quash Filed in Case Started
by q. o. Pratt.

Two demurrers and a motion TO
quash the writ Of mandate directed
against the international officers of
the street car mems association were
interposcd yesterday in Judge M, T..
Rtchie g court, and they operated to
delay the hearing which was to have
been begun yesterday OH the writ
| which directed the officers to show
Why G. o. Pratt and more than 5000
Philadelphia street car men had not
been reinstated into the international
union.
One demurrer is to the petition on
which the writ Of mandate was issued
and one is to the writ itself. The de.
, mnrrers are base largely on the ground
that the officers Of the street car
men S union are heads Of an unincor.
porated association. while a writ OF
mandate is alleged to be issuable oniy
against public officers or officers Of a
corporation.
By agreement Of Judge Q. W Pow
ers, representa- Pratt. and Judge w
H. King, representing the international
officers. the case will be called up for
! argument at the convenience of the
court some day next week. In the
event that the demurrers are overrulcd
the hearing will probably not be held
probably not be asked to appear in
person and the case will probably be
decided on dispositions and other docu.
